Capítulo 575: Case against the Striding Falcon Sect (6)

Ma Qi remained dazed for a brief moment before he shook his head free of the complex emotions flooding within him.

The previous week wasn't the first time he had done something impulsive. Over the three years on the worst of days in an otherwise period richly filled with horrible days, he had on more than one occasion gone back to his village but luckily reason took hold every time and he came back to the sect.

Deserting the sect was a punishable offence which depending on the type of desertion had the potential of even implicating one's loved ones.

Since he joined the sect, he had heard of a few disciples who escaped the sect and ran home, only to be caught a day later, along with their family who ended up suffering the same fate as the deserting disciple. Crippling of the cultivation base and imprisonment.
