Leaving the Sect, Who's Crying Now?

Deng Siqi came back to the Qingliang Sect as acting leader and took Duan Feiyu for a useless man. She humiliated him in front of the whole sect and expelled him. Duan Feiyu had come there to repay a debt. As a Golden Immortal he held the Demon-Sealing Tower for fifty years and fed the Chaos Bell out of his own power until about a tenth of it was left. Every crisis the sect went through in those years had been settled by him without anyone being told, and his pressure on the tower was the only thing holding the demons outside the world inside the seal. After he left the tower cracked and the talismans on it burst. The sealing towers of the other sects began to go as well. Deng Siqi understood by then what she had driven out, and the sect was already close to its end.
