Chapter 358

Gu Langhuai looked at him, his eyes devoid even of their usual disappointment. "You will be dealt with according to sect rules. Do you accept this punishment?" "I do not. Cultivators defy the heavens by nature—what is wrong with wanting to ascend? Senior Brother, I am different from you. I do not have a prestigious family background, nor do I have a master's favor. Even becoming his disciple was only because you pitied me. When I avenged myself, you all thought I was a villain, that my intent to kill was too heavy, and that I slaughtered the innocent indiscriminately. The position of sect master was never mine to have, and everyone in the sect looked down on me. Only when I became an elder, an Immortal Venerable, did you deign to look at me differently. What did I do wrong? My only mistake was lacking a powerful family background and not being Master's favorite disciple. My mistake was that my natural talent wasn't high enough, that I was inferior to my little niece. My little niece killed mortals too, yet you all think she did right."
