Chapter 574 Qingyun Sect Sect Master_1
Many of Lin Tianhai’s peers from the Qingyun Sect watched the once brilliant talent of their sect return with a mix of nostalgia, lament, and a hint of regret.
Once upon a time, Lin Tianhai, as one of the three chosen successors of the Qingyun Sect’s Sect Master, was unparalleled in both innate talent and effort, hailed as Qingyun Sect’s strongest genius.
Indeed, had he continued on his path, he would have become the next Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect. Unfortunately, Lin Tianhai joined forces with a disciple of Ruthless Valley, violated the sect’s rules, and later defected from the Qingyun Sect, thereby losing everything.
"Even if I don’t come back, Elder Brother and my fellow disciple, Liao, wouldn’t let me go," Lin Tianhai said with a cold huff.
As Lin Tianhai’s voice trailed off, another group approached from the distance. Leading them was a man in a black gown with a stern face, Liao Mingkui, the third disciple of the Qingyun Sect’s Sect Master, followed by Lei Ting and several other disciples.
"Long time no see, Liao!"
Lin Tianhai’s gaze fixed on Liao Mingkui with a heavy tone, and a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Lin, I did not expect you to return. It seems you are ready to lay everything to rest," Liao Mingkui spoke indifferently.
"If I don’t come back, you would continue to send people to hunt down my family. My wife has already been killed by you; now you want to go after my daughter. Are you so intent on exterminating us all?" Lin Tianhai suddenly roared in rage, unleashing a fearsome fury that shocked everyone present.
"What are you talking about, Lin? We are just following the sect rules, we can’t make exceptions just because we are fellow disciples," an unsympathetic voice explained.
"In the end, the reason lies with you. Had you not disobeyed our master that year, secretly left the Qingyun Sect, and rescued that woman from Ruthless Valley, things would not have escalated to this point," Lu Zhengfeng explained.
"Enough said. I have never regretted my actions. Today, I am here to settle this once and for all. Kill or maim me as you please, but I ask only one thing: leave my daughter alone, she is innocent," Lin Tianhai said with a somber expression.
