MTL NOVEL Chapter 4
Chapter 4: With Everyone’s Support, Sending You Off for Thousands of Miles
Not only did Bai He Xianzi feel shocked, but even the others were stunned by Mo Liushu’s indifference.
As a Master, to be so ruthless towards an apprentice is truly unprecedented.
“Seeking your own death, you have no one to blame but yourself!”
Tang Qi could hardly hide the excitement in his eyes. He gripped his fists tightly, suppressing the urge to shout out loud.
With the greatest worry now removed from his heart, relying on his talent and acting skills, given some time, he would inevitably step on the others and turn them into his servants!
With this thought, he looked at Mo Liushu with unmasked greed in his eyes, filled with possessiveness.
What a beautiful person, so cold and proud, truly a poison for all men.
If only one day he could shatter her restraint and nobility, pin her down, make her cry out for mercy, even if he were to die afterward, it would all be worth it!
But soon, his expression darkened.
He saw Mo Liushu staring blankly at the Heaven Mirror, where Zhou Tong’s back was reflected.
This scene made him feel utterly disgusted.
“Watching won’t do any good, that person has been thoroughly ruined and can no longer compete with me!”
For some reason, Tang Qi couldn’t suppress the rising anger, wishing to use the most brutal means to ravage Mo Liushu, making her see only him in her eyes!
“Bai He, what are you going to do?”
Mo Liushu suddenly spoke up, having noticed Bai He Xianzi wanting to leave.
“It’s too dangerous on the way; Zhou Tong is after all our junior, I want to protect him for a while.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Liushu’s eyes trembled, and then emitted an extremely sharp light.
“Not allowed!”
“Why not?”
Bai He Xianzi’s expression changed slightly, filled with some anger; even if their relationship had been severed, being so ruthless was too much.
“Bai He, you’d best recognize your own identity. You are an elder of the Sect, yet you want to protect a traitor! What kind of order is this?”
As soon as her voice fell, Mo Liushu erupted with an even stronger aura, directly overpowering Bai He Xianzi, causing even the other elders to change their expressions.
One could only say that she is indeed a top-tier genius, virtually unmatched among her peers, and even the older generation of strong warriors would have to see her in a new light!
She pressed down with one palm, and Bai He Xianzi’s face instantly paled, being forced back and spitting out blood, completely no match for her.
“Take her down!”
With another command, members of the Law Enforcement Hall surrounded Bai He Xianzi, restraining her from taking any further action.
“You!!!”
Bai He Xianzi trembled with rage but was utterly powerless to resist.
“You all listen; from today onwards, anyone who dares to secretly protect or assist that traitor will have me to blame for being merciless, and will be dealt with according to Sect rules!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders exchanged glances, all falling into silence.
“Isn’t this a bit of an overreaction?” an elderly man muttered to himself.
“Hmph! This is his own choice; doesn’t he think he’s very impressive? Today I will make him understand that without the Sect’s support, he’s just a drifting weed, to be trampled at will!
Even if he regrets it now, wanting to seek my forgiveness, he must kneel before me, knocking his head on the ground before he has a chance to serve as a lowly servant for three years!”
Mo Liushu’s voice was cold, not loud, but under the dissemination of the Heavenly Dao Image, it entered everyone’s ears, including Zhou Tong’s.
This was the outcome she desired. She wanted to shatter Zhou Tong’s dignity with cruel reality, making him kneel at her feet for his life, never daring to resist again!
However, under the Heaven Mirror, Zhou Tong’s back remained upright, showing no signs of hesitation as he walked further away.
“I want to see how long you can keep up this act. You must be scared out of your wits by now, your legs probably trembling in fear?”
Mo Liushu thought to herself, believing that when faced with danger, Zhou Tong would immediately yield.
“Without my protection, you are nothing!”
Mo Liushu stated confidently, ensuring Zhou Tong would struggle once he stepped out of the Sect.
Suddenly, in the Heaven Mirror, Zhou Tong was surrounded by other apprentices, and more were gathering, attracting the attention of several elders.
“What are those kids trying to do? Are they going to kick him while he’s down?”
An elderly elder said with a solemn expression; he had seen too many similar situations.
“See? That wretch can’t even leave the Sect!”
Mo Liushu glanced disdainfully at Bai He Xianzi, speaking with immense satisfaction.
But then her smile faltered abruptly.
With a “thud,” over a hundred apprentices kneeled in unison, their sincere eyes locked onto Zhou Tong, filled with indescribable gratitude.
“Brother, we owe you our thanks; please allow us to bow in appreciation!”
Seeing this scene, the Judgment Hall fell into silence, even Zhou Tong was momentarily stunned.
“What kindness have I shown you?”
“Brother, you must have forgotten, on the day I practiced swordsmanship and went mad, it was you who saved me and protected my life…”
“And I! I remember when I was still a mortal, my parents suffered an incurable disease, it was you who generously stepped in to relieve my hardship and guided me onto the path of cultivation…”
“You have saved me thirteen times during the beast tide; have you really forgotten?”
“You taught me alchemy, guiding me to enlightenment. Such kindness is unforgettable!”
One by one, past deeds were brought to light, and the marks Zhou Tong left were like a dusty road, now thoroughly cleared and vividly presented before everyone’s eyes.
“And I! And I! I have received help from you, Brother!”
More people were drawn in, coming over to pay their respects to Zhou Tong, each speaking with utmost sincerity, offering him heartfelt respect.
Only now did the elders realize just how much Zhou Tong had done. For a moment, they fell into deeper silence.
“That’s all in the past; why bring it up again? I have now withdrawn from the Sect, the mountains are high and the roads are far; we may never meet again.”
Zhou Tong waved his hand, speaking casually.
“Brother, please wait; allow us to protect you for a time!”
The crowd rose to their feet, surrounding Zhou Tong like stars revolving around the moon, refusing to take no for an answer.
“I want to see who dares!”
At that moment, Mo Liushu’s furious voice came through the Heavenly Dao medium.
“Whoever dares to get close to that traitor will face the consequences of Sect rules!”
As soon as these words were spoken, those apprentices, who were expected to quickly distance themselves from Zhou Tong, instead exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“My brother saved my life, and now he is in trouble. If I do not lend a hand, what is the difference between me and a beast?
If the Sect obstructs today, I will withdraw from the Sect; if they continue to stop me, then please kill me!”
The leading apprentices spoke in unison, while the others echoed their sentiments!
“My brother’s kindness will be repaid without regret!”
The voices of the youth intertwined, shaking the heavens, echoing through the Judgment Hall.
Mo Liushu’s face turned ashen, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Even she could not punish so many apprentices at once; otherwise, the backlash awaiting her would be immeasurable.
What enraged her further was that Zhou Tong had secretly brought in so many people without her knowing!
This was clearly premeditated!
