After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 1: Holding the script for the sacrificial ceremony, I refuse to take the blame.

The summit of Wenxin Peak, towering into the clouds and shrouded in mist.

A man dressed in a white robe, with an ethereal and otherworldly air, stood with his hands behind his back. His face was cold and stern, and he exuded a chilling aura.

At this moment, he was scrutinizing the disciple kneeling before him with icy, penetrating eyes, and questioning him in a deep, authoritative voice: "Do you know your mistake?"

The female cultivator kneeling before the man wore a dark blue robe, her long hair covering most of her face, concealing her grievances and stubbornness.

She kept her lips tightly pressed together and didn't say a word.

Admitting fault? Ridiculous! What fault did she commit?
Lin Yan is dead.

Due to her junior sister's misguided guidance, the sect disciples stumbled into a monster's lair. To cover the disciples' retreat, she stayed behind, only to be devoured by the monster horde, leaving no trace of her body.

In the moment after her death, perhaps out of divine mercy, she regained her memories.

She died suddenly from staying up all night reading novels, and was reborn into the novel she was reading. She lost her original memories and became cannon fodder on the male and female protagonists' path to immortality. Dying without a complete corpse was her destined fate.

As consciousness gradually returned to her mind, she slowly opened her eyes, somewhat bewildered. In an instant, she realized she had been reborn.

She was reborn back to the day she took the blame for her junior sister.

All of this seemed so real yet so unreal, like an absurd dream.

The familiar surroundings and people reminded her that this was not a dream, but something that had actually happened.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm the emotions surging in her heart.

Memories flooded back like a tide, vividly recalling the grievances, misunderstandings, and unfair treatment I had suffered.

A strong sense of resentment and anger also burned within him.

Heaven has shown mercy and given her a second chance. She will not become someone else's stepping stone like before. She will tear up the script of sacrifice and forge her own path.

Lin Yan looked up and said to the expressionless man in front of her, "I don't admit my mistake!"

The junior sister, with tears in her eyes, stepped forward to plead for her, her voice pitiful: "Master, senior sister... she didn't mean to make a mistake. It's all my fault. If I didn't have something urgent to attend to, I wouldn't have asked senior sister to water Master's immortal herbs."

The junior sister's words sounded like she was pleading for her, but in reality, she was firmly pinning the blame on her.

In his previous life, he was controlled by the plot, and after his junior sister said those words, he could only mutely say "I'm innocent."

The master, who favored his junior sister, convicted her without investigation and locked himself on the Cliff of Repentance to suffer the punishment of having his bones scraped by the fierce wind.

This punishment damaged his foundation in cultivation, making his subsequent cultivation path exceptionally difficult.

She glanced coldly at her junior sister, who was secretly delighted, her eyes revealing a hint of sorrow and anger.

The other person secretly gave her a smug and provocative look, as if they were silently mocking her, which brought her resentment to its peak.

Why should she be treated like a tool? She's quite talented; if she's willing to work hard and strive, she can definitely carve out her own niche.

She doesn't want to be sacrificed to the heavens, and she doesn't want to become someone else's stepping stone!

"You unfilial disciple, if it weren't for your junior sister pleading for you, I would have punished you with the Thunder Whip long ago!" The man's eyes were devoid of emotion, his face expressionless, and his tone cold.

It was as if the person kneeling before him wasn't his disciple but an ant. From her memories of her previous life, she knew that Immortal Venerable Lingyun only had special feelings for his junior sister, and wouldn't even spare a glance for anyone else. Naturally, he had no good temper towards her, his "rebellious disciple."

I don't want to stay on Wenxin Peak as a tool anymore, so I'll take this opportunity to leave the sect.

She knelt upright on the ground: "Since Master has determined that it was my fault, then I accept the punishment. I am punished by being expelled from the sect today and no longer a disciple of Immortal Lingyun." Her voice was firm and resolute.

Before anyone could recover from their surprise, he got up and left Wenxin Peak without hesitation.

Lin Yan flew to the Hall of Names on her sword and handed over her personal disciple token without hesitation.

The elder of the Record Hall took it, and pointed to the side without any surprise: "The inner sect token is here, take it yourself."

She shook her head, her demeanor composed: "I am leaving the sect, not changing from a direct disciple to an inner disciple."

A clear look of surprise flashed across the elder's eyes.

In the past, many direct disciples were demoted to inner disciples for various reasons. The elders of the Record Hall were used to this.

However, I have never seen a direct disciple choose to leave the sect.

He felt that the other party must have been angry to make this decision.

Which cultivator wouldn't yearn to be backed by a powerful and influential sect? Not only can a powerful sect provide abundant cultivation resources, but it can also offer protection on a cultivator's path to immortality.

Leaving a sect to become a rogue cultivator makes the path of cultivation a hundred times more arduous. Only cultivators try to join a sect; why would a sect disciple choose to become a rogue cultivator?

"Young man, don't do something you'll regret because of a moment of impulse," the elder advised. "If you leave the sect, it will be very difficult to come back unless you make a huge contribution to the sect."

"My mind is made up," she said firmly. She calmly turned and walked to the door, just as she drew her sword, her third senior brother descended from the sky and landed in front of her.

The other person's eyes were wide open in anger, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the veins on his forehead were bulging with rage, making him look like a violent madman.

Judging from her posture, it's as if she has just committed some heinous crime that is utterly unforgivable and abhorrent to both gods and men.

Before she could even speak, her third senior brother began to accuse her: "I never expected you to be this kind of person! You always seemed so gentle, honest, and sincere, but who would have thought you would ruin the immortal herb and then try to frame your junior sister for it? When that failed, you threatened to leave the sect, leaving your junior sister heartbroken! You will come back with me now and apologize to Master and your junior sister, and I can ask Master to spare you from punishment."

She found it laughable.

Before my junior sister arrived, the other party liked to treat her like a slave, always taking away any good things she had.

She was bullied by him because she was born weak and dull-witted and didn't know how to fight back.

After his junior sister arrived, he preferred to ostracize her and fawn over her. Now, what face does he have to come here and spout such nonsense?

"Get out of the way, you're blocking my way." Her tone was cold, and her expression was impatient.

If she had no scruples, she would really like to stab the selfish, arrogant person in front of her with a single sword.

Unfortunately, with his current strength, he is not yet able to contend with the sect. If he really makes a big fuss and attracts that biased old Deng, he probably won't be able to leave unscathed.

She thought her tone was cold, firm, and resolute enough. The other person, as if they couldn't understand her, continued to whine and ramble on.

"Are you really going to make things irreparable? I told you, as long as you come back with me now and admit your mistake, I will plead with Master for mercy." His expression was as if he were bestowing a favor.
