Chapter 215: Gui Feng Senior, save me!

Besides that, a burly man stood beside him.

The man's face was stern, like ice that never thawed for a thousand years.

He was tall and looming, like a towering hill, giving a strong sense of oppression.

He kept his eyes shut the whole time, as if nothing in the outside world could disturb him in the slightest.

He also seemed to disdain everything around him, immersed in his own world.

Seeing this scene.

All members of the Azure Cloud Sect were stunned.

After all, Shi Hao now exuded a different aura, completely unlike his former self.

The formerly humble, courteous, diligent and eager-to-learn Shi Hao seemed to have vanished without a trace.

In his place stood an arrogant, rude, and contemptuous stranger.

Li Mu couldn't help but be astonished by these changes; anxious, he said, "Shi Hao, what are you just standing there for?"

"Hurry up and apologize to the Grand Elder!"

Li Mu's voice carried a hint of anxiety and hope; he wished Shi Hao would immediately come to his senses and salvage everything.

However.

Shi Hao, however, seemed not to have heard; his expression was indifferent, and he didn't even glance at Li Mu.

It seemed as if everyone present had nothing to do with him.

This made Li Mu furious; his face flushed red like a ripe tomato.

Immediately, he loudly questioned, "Is this how I usually teach you?"

"Who gave you the nerve to be so arrogant and rude?"

"If you don't quickly apologize to the Grand Elder, don't blame me for punishing you according to sect law!"

Every word Li Mu spoke was filled with anger and anguish.

He could not fathom how his disciple, whom he had devoted all his effort to nurture, could become like this.

At that moment, Shi Hao slowly lifted his head, his expression arrogant, and said slowly, "Li Mu, listen well: from now on, you are no longer my master, and I am no longer your disciple."

"The master-disciple bond between us is hereby severed!"

These words struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, slamming hard into Li Mu's heart.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu felt a surge of qi and blood rush to his head; his vision darkened, he almost lost his balance, swaying before barely steadying himself.

He pointed an angry finger at Shi Hao, his voice trembling from excitement: "You… you have the guts to say that again!"

He could not believe that such heartless words came from the mouth of his most beloved disciple.

Shi Hao's face turned cold; without fear, he met Li Mu's gaze and said, word by word, "I say, you good-for-nothing, you are utterly unworthy to be my master!"

Each of Shi Hao's words was like a sharp blade, viciously stabbing Li Mu's inner self, causing him extreme anguish.

"Impudent!"

Li Mu was utterly enraged; he roared like thunder, his shout making the surrounding air buzz.

"I have taught disciples for decades, yet I have never seen a disciple as arrogant and disrespectful as you!"

"Since you have willingly debased yourself and do not cherish the sect's gifts, today I will abolish your cultivation and expel you from the Azure Cloud Sect!"

Li Mu's disappointment in Shi Hao's performance reached its peak.

He understood that, given Shi Hao's current conduct, not to mention joining the Godgoverning Sect or the Illusory Moon Sect, he might even bring disgrace upon the Azure Cloud Sect.

Now he could only uphold righteousness by sacrificing kinship, to correct the sect's atmosphere.

Otherwise, the Azure Cloud Sect's century-old reputation would be ruined in an instant.

Immediately, Li Mu condensed a qi sword in his hand, its cold light flashing, the blade exuding a chilling aura.

He hesitated not at all, flicking his wrist.

The qi sword shot like a lightning bolt, at great speed toward Shi Hao's dantian.

This sword bore his anger, disappointment, and anguish.

He wanted this unrepentant disciple to pay for his actions.

Shi Hao, however, remained unchanged in expression, his calm terrifying, showing not a trace of fear.

This abnormal performance left everyone present greatly shocked.

But just as the qi sword was about to strike Shi Hao, at the critical moment—

Shi Hao suddenly shouted loudly, "Gui Feng Senior, save me!"
