CBGC - ch140.2

2/2

Just at this moment, Elder Yan Shu suddenly declares that he is going to expel Yan Yuqing from the sect, causing the cheerful atmosphere among the disciples to quiet down.

"Since he has turned into a demon, he is no longer my disciple," Elder Yan declares. His health has not been good lately, and it's due to his nerves and anxiety.

Now, learning that Yan Yuqing has entered the Demon Realm, the Dual Realm Mountain, he knows that there’s no turning back.

When Yan Yuqing wielded his sword to cut down his Zhan Yu‘s Haoran Zhenqi and even tried to kill his own Master, those actions were truly heartbreaking. Yet, he had a glimmer of hope left. He was hoping that Yan Yuqing was just momentarily confused and could come back to admit his mistakes. Everyone only informed him that Yan Yuqing had gone missing, they didn’t tell him the truth. It's only at this moment that he learns of Yan Yuqing entering the Demon Realm and becoming a demon.

He never expected Yan Yuqing to enter the Demon Realm.

Entering the Demon Realm is entirely different from cultivating the Demonic Path.

Once you enter the Demon Realm, you can no longer be called human.

"Perhaps Little Uncle is influenced by the sword spirit in the broken..." Su Tingyun explains.

"If one's own character is upright, how could one be influenced by a sword spirit?" Elder Yan's voice rises. "Although our Killing Faction has almost lost its inheritance, there used to be many disciples in the past who practiced the Sword of Killing. Everyone comprehended the sword intent at the bottom of the lake, practicing day and night. Even I have been cultivating there continuously in the night, but do you see me being influenced by that broken sword?” 

He coughs violently at this point. "Back in the day, I also immersed myself in the pool every day, covered myself in wounds. If it weren't for my limited talent and the scarcity of resources in the sect, I wouldn't have stopped at this level..."

Second Uncle quickly pats Elder Yan's back, while Bai Su gives a tap on the shoulder of a Bai family boy next to him, gesturing for him to fetch a bottle of pills. The other man hesitates for a moment but eventually takes it out. However, Bai Su hands it over to Su Tingyun, earning a grateful look from her.

Although Su Tingyun is skilled in alchemy, her pill recipes are limited, and so are her ingredients. The pills she concocts certainly can't compare to the high-grade spiritual pills of upper realm cultivators.

Bai family member: "Those are my pills..."

Due to Elder Yan's insistence, the Leader Lingxiao can only reluctantly agree.

Being expelled from the sect is similar to when he initially joined the sect. Yan Shu still needs to kowtow to the ancestors of the sect. Elder Yan then lists the charges against Little Uncle, and finally, he leads everyone to the obelisk area to carve away his name.

The formation activates, and the name on the strange stone shines brightly. Elder Yan holds a special dagger and slowly removes Yan Yuqing's name, one letter at a time. Su Tingyun knows how profound Elder Yan's inner torment is at this moment.

Only by erasing the name can he cease being a disciple of the Obliteration Sword Tower, unable to casually return to it.

Thinking about this, Su Tingyun suddenly realizes that the name of Xuanyuan Wentian wasn't actually carved away! He can freely enter and exit the Obliteration Sword Tower, proving that he hasn't been expelled. In other words, he removed his name by himself.

Why would he do such a thing?

After expelling Yan Yuqing, Elder Yan can't hold on anymore and returns to his room to rest. Su Tingyun, with important matters to inquire about, talks to Bai Su's elders for a while.

She first asks about the Broken Sword Master.

After all, when she revealed herself up on the Immortal Palace, the Upper Realm cultivators were convinced she was the Broken Sword Master. Su Tingyun felt that the Broken Sword Master had a connection with the Obliteration Sword Tower, perhaps even being Xuanyuan Wentian. After all, he is the only one whose name has been carved away from the obelisk. Although the Broken Sword Master uses the Haoran Zhenqi Sword and Xuanyuan Wentian seems to specialize in the Killing Sword, they are both sword techniques of the Obliteration Sword Tower. If one practices both sword techniques, it won’t be strange to switch back and forth, right? At least that's how Su Tingyun sees it.

Could the Broken Sword Master be the mysterious sword cultivator who took away the Word Spirit? Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Tingyun suggests this, they all shake their heads in unison. Everyone says that the Broken Sword Master's sword technique is righteous, upholding justice and aiding the weak. They consider the Broken Sword Master a grandmaster, and he shouldn't be an evildoer. As for the identity of the black-robed sword cultivator who took the Word Spirit, it's likely only those with the family traitors know.

Unfortunately, they are not likely to reveal even the slightest bit of information.

The Bai family members deny that the Broken Sword Master is the black-robed sword cultivator, though they are not entirely certain.

It seems everyone believes that a person's sword intent cannot possibly manifest as two extremes.
