Imagine sacrificing everything for an ungrateful master, only to be cast aside like yesterday's news. This is the brutal reality Gu Xiu faces in *Severing Ties: The Sect Regrets My Departure*. For five centuries, he endured unimaginable torment in the Forbidden Realm, all to safeguard the Qingxuan Sacred Land's future. He emerges broken, his cultivation crippled, expecting gratitude. Instead, he finds his status stolen by a favored new disciple, his pleas ignored, and his very existence resented. Finally, the crushing weight of their indifference breaks him. Gu Xiu makes a momentous decision: he severs all ties with the Sect, reclaiming his freedom in a dramatic act of defiance. He leaves with nothing but his tattered pride... and something far more valuable: the Sect's very Providence, its lifeblood of luck and fortune. Now, watch as the tables turn. As Gu Xiu painstakingly rebuilds his power, drawing upon forbidden knowledge and defying divine judgment, the Qingxuan Sect begins to unravel. Their treasures crumble to dust, their promising disciples falter, and heavenly wrath descends upon them. They soon realize the magnitude of their error, crawling back to Gu Xiu, begging for forgiveness. But they will find no mercy, only the chilling satisfaction of a man who has lost everything and gained the power to make them pay. Is redemption possible? Or is the Sect doomed to reap what they have sown?
