Backstab While I Train? You'll Regret It!

To break through the ceiling that has held him for ten thousand years, Chu Changge seals his own cultivation and takes work as a sweeper inside the Taixuan Sword Sect, where nobody knows the founding patriarch is scrubbing their floors. His disciple Xiao Jue is courting the young lady Ye Qingcheng and wants the sect's protective key to impress her. Xiao Jue takes the key, breaks the spirit roots of Xiao An, Chu Changge's adopted boy, brands the child as demon-blooded and has him dragged to the immortal execution platform. Chu Changge unseals himself and reveals who he is. Xiao Jue is beaten and set to the filthiest labour in the sect, and he goes over to the Demon Lord rather than accept it, coming back with an army at his shoulder to besiege the mountain. Chu Changge lays out in front of everyone how the frame-up was built, and settles the siege with a single stroke. When the way to ascension opens for him afterwards he turns it down and stays below, taking Xiao An as his own disciple.
