Chi Yue's words did not lessen people's hatred; instead, they drew even more curses.

Some of those filled with deep hatred rushed forward and unleashed their spiritual techniques on Chi Yue.

Chi Yue did not retaliate. Although the attackers were far weaker than her, she only needed to circulate her protective qi to prevent them from harming her in the slightest.

But she didn't. She let these people attack her, enduring physical pain that was insignificant compared to the pain in her heart.

She even felt that the pain relieved her mental state. Previously, her mind had been so suppressed that she could hardly breathe, and she was in a suffocating state. Now, at least she could breathe again.

She had never felt so happy, even just breathing, as she did now.

She even hoped to intensify the pain, making it even more severe, ideally destroying her cultivation.

In this way, she could more deeply understand the pain Chi Yuan felt back then and feel his state of mind.

"Stop!"

Just as Chi Yue was being beaten and covered in wounds, with several gruesome sword cuts on her face, a majestic shout suddenly rang out.

A group of people dressed in law enforcement robes arrived by air, led by the Grand Elder.

They are the enforcers of the holy land.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Holy Land's law enforcement officers, those who had started the attack had no choice but to stop. However, the crowd reacted even more violently, rioting and shouting angrily for the law enforcement officers to severely punish Chi Yue and not to protect her.

The Grand Elder was not there to protect Chi Yue. The trouble caused by Chi Yue and Chi Tianhao was too great. If they were not severely punished to give the Holy Land disciples an explanation, the people's hearts would be completely shattered.

If its disciples become disloyal and disloyal, even a powerful organization like the Heavenly Pool Holy Land may fall apart and collapse.

This is a burden that the sacred land of Tianchi cannot bear, so there is absolutely no reason to protect Chi Yue.

But we can't kill Chi Yue either.

Just as even if Heaven didn't accept Chi Tianhao's suicide, the karma on their bodies hasn't been cleared. If they were killed directly, the karma might be transferred to the Heavenly Pool Holy Land, so we can't take that risk.

The best way to handle this is to cripple Chi Yue's cultivation, expel her from the holy land, and let her fend for herself. In this way, even if Chi Yue dies later, the cause and effect will not be transferred to the Heavenly Pool Holy Land.

Chi Yue seemed to have already foreseen her fate. A desolate smile appeared in her eyes as she struggled to lift her blood-stained and wounded body and kowtowed to the Grand Elder and the others: "Grand Elder, this disciple is guilty. Please punish me. This disciple will have no complaints."

Seeing Chi Yue like this, the First Elder sighed with mixed feelings. In the past, which of them hadn't cherished Chi Yue like a precious treasure, afraid she'd melt in their hands? But now…

Perhaps it was because they spoiled her too much that she developed a personality like Chi Yue, leading to this terrible outcome.

"Chi Yue, you acted willfully and recklessly, distorted the truth, slandered your fellow clansmen, and aided the evil ones, causing you to offend those with great fortune throughout the ages. This has greatly damaged the fortune of my Tianchi Holy Land, causing it to suffer a calamity and resulting in the deaths and injuries of countless disciples. It has also caused Chi Yang, the imperial son of my Tianchi Holy Land, to lose heart and leave the Holy Land in anger, thus losing the pillar of our future."

"Although your sins are not as great as Chi Tianhao's, they are still unforgivable. Today, I, as an elder representing the Heavenly Pool Holy Land and the Chi Clan, hereby strip you of your cultivation and expel you from the Holy Land and the Clan. Do you have any objections?"

"This junior has no objection."

Chi Yue replied calmly.

"good."

The Grand Elder said nothing more, slowly raised his hand to control Chi Yue's body, lifted her into the air, and then, under everyone's gaze, pointed a finger at Chi Yue's dantian.

With a loud bang, a wave of spiritual energy burst forth from Chi Yue's dantian like fireworks, surging in all directions before quickly dissipating into the air.

Chi Yue's aura rapidly weakened to the extreme, and her cultivation at the Spirit Sect Realm vanished in an instant as her dantian was destroyed, leaving her with no cultivation at all.

Feeling completely empty, as if hollowed out, with no spiritual energy left in her lower abdomen, Chi Yue surprisingly did not feel pain, but instead felt a sense of relief.

But what follows is another kind of mental torment.

So this is what it feels like to have your cultivation destroyed: helplessness, despair, as if the whole world has lost its color, as if you have been abandoned by the world.

Like a lost soul, there is no place for him in this vast world, and he can only drift and wander between heaven and earth, going with the wind.

No wonder.

No wonder he changed his name to Fu Feng.

No wonder he hates his family to the core.

In his most helpless and desperate moments, his family should have been his spiritual comfort, and his clan should have been his safe haven, pulling him back from the brink of despair.

But his parents, his brother, and his family abandoned him at this time, pushing him into the abyss with their own hands, leaving him a lonely soul...

Two streams of hot tears flowed down Chi Yue's face. They were not for her own crippled cultivation, nor for her own plight; they were for Chi Yuan.

Only after truly experiencing this pain did she realize just how hateful she had been before, and understand why Heaven had unleashed such a devastating calamity upon the Heavenly Pool Holy Land.

She also understood why the Grand Elder had only crippled her cultivation and hadn't executed her.

Because her sins cannot be washed away even by death.

Death was far too good for her; she deserved to suffer far more and more terrible calamities.

"Thank you for the punishment, senior."

"Please rest assured, senior and Tianchi Holy Land, I will bear the hardships and travel to distant places, and will never bring disaster to Tianchi Holy Land and Chi family again."

Chi Yue said in a low, hoarse voice.

The elder sighed, put Chi Yue down, turned his back and said, "Say your final goodbyes to your family."
