The Villainous Disciple Follows the Plot, but the Cold Beauty Sect Master Defies It! - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Master and Disciple Reborn:

Mystic Sky Continent, Azure Cloud Holy Land, Law Enforcement Hall.

“Xia Changqing, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Weapon in your hand is the physical evidence, and the accusations from your Junior Sisters are the human testimony. Now, with both evidence and testimony, your crime of brutally murdering disciples of the Holy Land is confirmed. Even now, do you still refuse to confess and accept your punishment? Sect Master presiding, I suggest removing this boy’s Ancient Heavy Pupils and Immortal-Demonic Dao Bones, then imprisoning him in the Blackwater Prison for a hundred years as a warning to others.”

A tall White-Robed Elder roared at the handsome youth who had become a prisoner, his face full of disgust.

The handsome young man in a Daoist robe had a rare pair of golden Ancient Heavy Pupils, reputed to be the reincarnation of a Sage and destined to reign supreme in the future. Unfortunately, at this moment, he was heavily injured, his entire body bound by rune chains that sealed his dantian’s power, making him no more than a powerless mortal.

“Senior Brother Xia, just confess and accept your punishment. I believe you secretly practiced demonic techniques and lost control, leading to the slaughter—not out of cruel intent against your fellow disciples. If you admit your guilt, I believe the Sect Master will show you mercy.”

Ye Fan, clad in snow-white robes, buried a trace of mockery and disdain deep within his eyes, shook his head with a pained expression, and advised the handsome young man.

“Brother Ye Fan is right! Senior Brother, you violated sect rules by secretly cultivating demonic arts, causing repeated tragedies. You must not continue down this path. Confess and relinquish the position of Holy Son to Brother Ye Fan.”

Lin Xinyue, pure and gentle on the surface but sharp beneath, fanned the flames further, seeking to solidify Xia Changqing’s guilt.

“Xia Changqing, with a character like yours—daring to act but not to admit—you are unworthy to be our Senior Brother, let alone the Holy Son of Azure Cloud Holy Land. Master, please strip Xia Changqing of the Holy Son title. Brother Ye Fan, who cherishes his fellow disciples and treats others humbly, should become the new Holy Son. The Ancient Heavy Pupils and Immortal-Demonic Dao Bones are priceless treasures; a heartless madman like Xia Changqing does not deserve them. I propose they be extracted and transplanted to Brother Ye Fan.”

Gu Miaojun exchanged a subtle glance with Ye Fan, pointing at the silent handsome youth, her face full of loathing.

“Senior Brother, confess and accept your punishment. Brother Ye Fan would never falsely accuse you.”

The twin sisters, Li Yue’er and Li Ling’er, spoke in unison. 

Though they had not personally witnessed Xia Changqing’s alleged slaughter, it didn’t stop them from believing the accusations.

‘What the hell, I’ve returned to the Azure Cloud Holy Land from three thousand years ago?’

Xia Changqing’s eyes widened as he lifted his head, surveying the familiar yet foreign surroundings. 

He sighed inwardly, ‘After I self-detonated, I don’t know if I managed to destroy the Heavenly Dao. In another space-time, Master should have used the Primordial Chaos Jade Pendant to protect the two little ones and safely ascend to the Immortal Realm. Heaven has eyes, allowing me to be reborn in Azure Cloud. This time, I must proceed cautiously, lay a supreme Dao foundation, and step into the Emperor Realm to completely annihilate the Heavenly Dao of the Mystic Sky Continent.’

“Xia Changqing, don’t think that remaining silent will deny your monstrous crimes. Master, I beg you to seek justice for the disciples of Azure Cloud Holy Land who died.”

Gu Miaojun knelt respectfully on the ground, her face filled with righteous anger.

“Master, seek justice for the deceased disciples. Strip Xia Changqing of the Holy Son title and transplant the Sage’s Pupils and Immortal-Demonic Dao Bones to the new Holy Son, Ye Fan.”

The Grand Elder, Ye Zheng, raised his arm and called out, joining other elders and true disciples in bowing toward Murong Bing on the Cloud-Bed, demanding punishment for Xia Changqing.

“Hahaha, how amusing. You insignificant fools are truly hilarious. You want to convict me based on baseless charges? You are not even worthy.”

Xia Changqing slowly stood up and turned around, as if accepting the worship of the crowd, his face filled with ridicule and contempt.

History was repeating itself. 

If his Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation was still intact, he would have obliterated these worthless fools long ago.

“Audacious traitor, not only do you show no remorse, but you dare to act so insolently! In front of me, you dare to call yourself ‘this sovereign’! I will have you—”

Murong Bing, draped in an elegant celestial gown and breathtakingly beautiful, was so furious that her chest heaved violently, her snowy peaks nearly bursting forth. Just as she was about to sentence Xia Changqing to death, her noble phoenix eyes suddenly became vacant, then quickly regained clarity, flashing with unprecedented shock.

‘I, Murong Bing, have actually returned to the moment three thousand years ago when I was judging Xia Changqing, that damned turtle bastard. This is also the moment when our ill-fated bond first sprouted.’

‘This stubborn, nepotistic, foolish woman who was led by the nose—what is she waiting for? Hurry up and dig out my Ancient Heavy Pupils and Immortal-Demonic Dao Bones for Ye Fan! I still need to go to Blackwater Prison to cultivate the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art and wipe them all out. Hehehe, then I’ll enslave and humiliate you, train you to become my Demon Empress again, the mother of my twin daughters, and my beloved wife.’

Xia Changqing sneered disdainfully as he stared at the silent and contemplative Murong Bing on the Cloud-Bed.

The Murong Bing before him was not the future ‘wife’ who fought alongside him against the Heavenly Dao of the Mystic Sky Continent. Right now, she was still his enemy.

According to the upcoming plotline, Murong Bing would believe Ye Fan, Gu Miaojun, and the others’ slander, ruthlessly strip Xia Changqing of his cultivation and power, forcibly extract his Sage’s Pupils and Immortal-Demonic Dao Bones, and transplant them into Ye Fan. 

In the end, Xia Changqing would be abandoned like a dead dog in the filthy, lightless Blackwater Prison, left to rot.

Deep within Murong Bing’s consciousness, the Primordial Chaos Jade Pendant wrapped in misty violet light trembled slightly, transmitting Xia Changqing’s words clearly to her ears.

‘This bastard really came back with the Primordial Chaos Jade Pendant. Was I ever that foolish? Well, perhaps a little. But now, you’re just an ant at the Divine Ability Realm, daring to speak to me—a Peak Saint King Realm powerhouse—like that. Isn’t it a bit too arrogant? This bastard is still as wild and handsome as ever.’

Murong Bing, biting her teeth in secret curses, stared at the youth below—tall and upright as a pine, with a peerless face and a proud, defiant nature that never bowed.

Her noble, cold phoenix eyes revealed a trace of tenderness and longing.

‘Is this foolish woman an idiot? Why is she looking at me with such disgusting eyes? Hurry up and cripple me!’

Xia Changqing noticed the complicated emotions in Murong Bing’s gaze and muttered inwardly in confusion.

“Sect Master, you should punish Xia Changqing now.”

Ye Zheng, suppressing his inner tension and surprise, softly reminded her. This was crucial to whether his precious grandson could obtain the two supreme treasures and embark on the path to invincibility. Murong Bing’s sudden pause made him extremely uneasy.

“Did you personally witness Xia Changqing losing control and slaughtering the disciples of Azure Cloud Holy Land?”

Murong Bing withdrew her gaze and narrowed her phoenix eyes into a dangerous arc, scrutinizing the disciples below. Though her tone was calm, it carried the silent killing intent of a Peak Saint King Realm powerhouse.

“Master, Brother Ye Fan saw it with his own eyes; he would never lie! Xia Changqing has the Immortal-Demonic Dao Bones, allowing him to cultivate both righteous and demonic arts. Our Azure Cloud Holy Land, as a leading righteous sect, forbids the cultivation of demonic techniques. With both evidence and testimony, there’s no need for hesitation. Please cripple Xia Changqing quickly and grant the two treasures to Brother Ye Fan.”

Lin Xinyue clung to Murong Bing coquettishly, confident that Murong Bing’s affection for her would ensure belief in her words.

“Yes, Master! Our innocent disciples died tragically. Xia Changqing is a devil who deserves to be cut into pieces.”

Gu Miaojun sobbed pitifully, her tears falling like rain.

“Master, Brother Ye Fan would never lie.”

Li Yue’er and Li Ling’er joined in, rallying to support Ye Fan and denounce Xia Changqing.

‘These four brainless idiots, all being played like fools by Ye Fan, the child of the Heavenly Dao.’

Murong Bing really wanted to slap them all to death. In her previous life, she trusted these four female disciples too much, which led to the massacre of millions of innocent disciples in Azure Cloud Holy Land by Xia Changqing.

[Buzz buzz buzz!]

As Murong Bing’s killing intent toward Ye Fan intensified, the Primordial Chaos Jade Pendant in her mind began to tremble and issue constant warnings, as if indicating that the moment she killed Ye Fan, the Heavenly Dao would immediately unleash divine punishment.
