After Being Expelled From the Sect, the Master and Senior Sisters Regretted It for Life

Chapter 10:

Everyone around couldn’t help but sigh.

Though Tang Qi was arrogant, no one could deny he had the qualifications to back it up.

“Well done! As expected of my disciple. From this day forth, you are officially my personal disciple. I will provide you with better resources to ensure you surpass all your opponents!”

Mo Liusu clapped her hands with a smile, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She wanted the world to see that Zhou Tong was insignificant in her eyes. Losing him was as trivial as losing a grain of sesame.

If she so desired, she could easily cultivate another Zhou Tong—one even stronger than the original.

Her declaration sent a shiver through everyone present.

They all realized that Mo Liusu was determined to support Tang Qi and completely abandon Zhou Tong.

“Fantastic! With this, little junior brother will surely soar ahead, leaving that trash far behind,” Jiang Yuyao and the others exclaimed joyfully, unable to hide their excitement.

“BOOM!”

At that moment, a deafening and awe-inspiring sound echoed through the heavens and earth.

Everyone was startled, turning toward the direction of the thunder and flames.

“Is that… heavenly thunder and earthly fire?”

Someone murmured, breaking the silence like a pebble cast into a still pond, sending ripples of shock everywhere.

“Could it be? Heavenly thunder and earthly fire only occur when a rare treasure appears. Could it really be a seventh-grade pill?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! Such a brief thunder strike only indicates a failed pill refinement,” Tang Qi said with a faint smile, drawing everyone’s attention.

“You’re saying that Zhou Tong attempted to refine a pill and failed?”

“Exactly. Not only did he fail, but he also suffered heavenly backlash!”

“Haha, serves him right! Someone as insignificant as him dared to compete with little junior brother? He doesn’t even know his place. This is the punishment he deserves!”

Ge Hongqiu sneered harshly, and many nodded in agreement.

…

At Hongchen Mountain, within the Joyous Harmony Sect…

Murong Ya raised one glowing hand, holding the delicate Bodhi Pill, while her other hand slowly lowered.

Moments ago, she had shattered the heavenly tribulation with a single strike, dispersing the chaos by sheer force.

Even Zhou Tong was astonished by her display of strength. This frail woman still retained the power to shatter tribulations. It made him wonder just how formidable she must have been at her peak.

“Master, quickly take the pill!”

The little demoness urged eagerly, her eyes full of hope.

Murong Ya nodded faintly, her lips parting gracefully as she placed the pill into her mouth with unparalleled elegance.

Instantly, a harmonious and serene energy radiated from within her. It was a gentle force, pure and soothing, capable of dissolving even the most violent demonic intent.

Ten breaths later, all was calm once more. Murong Ya slowly opened her eyes.

“How do you feel?”

“The inner demon has been mostly suppressed, but the Dao injuries remain. I’ll need time to recover. Right now, I can only use about 20% of my peak strength.”

Hearing this, Zhou Tong’s pupils narrowed slightly.

For ordinary inner demons, the pill he refined would have worked instantly.

“No matter. With me assisting your recovery, the inner demon will be eradicated, and the Dao injuries healed within half a year!”

Zhou Tong spoke confidently, but before he could finish, a fragrant breeze wafted over him. Murong Ya suddenly wrapped him in an embrace.

“Hmm…”

Caught off guard, Zhou Tong’s face was pressed into a soft, fragrant warmth.

“That ugly woman from the Azure Purity Sect truly has no eyes. To think she discarded such a treasure! Lucky for me, though. Since I don’t have much to offer as a gift, a hug will have to suffice as your reward!”

Her voice was soft, alluring, and almost hypnotic as it whispered in his ear. If not for Zhou Tong’s unparalleled mental fortitude, he might have completely fallen under her spell.

“Please let go. I can’t breathe…”

After much effort, Zhou Tong managed to escape her embrace, his face slightly flushed.

Murong Ya, however, simply smiled brightly, pressing a hand against her chest where Zhou Tong’s warmth still lingered.

“Your willpower is indeed extraordinary. You’ve passed the test. You’re now qualified to learn the Joyous Harmony Divine Technique.”

Hearing this, Zhou Tong felt as though lightning had struck him.

“No, no, no!”

He frantically waved his hands. His vast repertoire of techniques left him disinterested in such a yin-yang fusion art.

“Come here!”

Murong Ya’s playful grin resembled that of a cunning fox as she grabbed Zhou Tong by the arm.

“To join my sect, you must inherit my ultimate technique. There’s no escaping it.”

Before he could resist, her delicate finger pressed against his forehead, and a surge of knowledge flooded his mind.

“The Joyous Harmony Divine Technique…”

“What is ‘Joyous Harmony’?”

The answer appeared:

“To harmonize with the Dao of the heavens and embrace unity through eternity. This is the path of Joyous Harmony.”

With just a few words, Zhou Tong’s body trembled violently. Had he completely misunderstood the essence of Joyous Harmony all this time?

“Master, I’ve made up my mind. I want to learn the Joyous Harmony Divine Technique.”

“Now that’s the spirit!”

Murong Ya’s smile deepened, her gaze so tender and mesmerizing that Zhou Tong felt as though he might melt under it.

“Step one, practical application—take it off!”

“Take what off?” Zhou Tong blinked in confusion.

“Your clothes, of course. The first level of the technique begins with chamber arts. Surely you know this?”

Zhou Tong froze, completely petrified!
