The entire room fell silent.

Upon hearing this, the people around him changed their expressions drastically, staring at Lu Chen in disbelief.

Then, Jian Yu and Jian Xing's actions were surprisingly consistent.

They immediately jumped away, staying within three zhang of the two men.

Then, everyone immediately looked at Jianyu.

"This Lu Chen is just too... something, isn't he?"

Not to mention that Lu Chen, as the sect leader, actually uttered such words, and it would be one thing if he said them to others, but to Jian Yu in particular.

Everyone present, including the Jian generation disciples, knew Jian Yu's temperament perfectly well.

Even the former Jian Yu dared not show the slightest disrespect to Jian Yu.

But Lu Chen actually dared to flirt with him to his face; he's really asking for trouble.

To everyone's surprise, Jian Yu simply stared coldly at Lu Chen for a long time before finally saying, "Mind your manners, Sect Leader!"

Then, Jianyu turned around and left.

"Huh? He didn't explode!"

Jian Yu and the others were dumbfounded. If it were before, Junior Sister Jian Yu would have drawn her sword without saying a word. Even Jian Yu, the sect leader, wouldn't dare to say that he could easily defeat Jian Yu, the head of the Heavenly Sword Hall.

Jian Yu holds an extremely high position within the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and his strength ranks among the top three.

No one dared to be rude to her.

But today, everyone has truly had their eyes opened.

[Confession of love rejected, rewarded with a superior-grade spiritual weapon battle armor!]

Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chen smiled slightly. As for whether Senior Sister Jianyu was angry, that was not his concern.

Then, Lu Chen looked at Jian Yu and said, "Senior Brother Jian Yu, you should take the position of sect leader. I don't know how to manage a sect, and besides, I'm about to leave the sect to go out and gain experience!"

Jian Yu gave Lu Chen a strange look and said, "Absolutely not. This position of sect leader was personally appointed by the ancestor. I dare not disobey the sect's orders. As for going out to train... of course, there's no need to mention that again. Now that you are the sect leader, you should naturally stay and oversee the sect. How can you leave so easily?"

"They won't let us out?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

What's going on?

One minute you have to go out, the next you can't. Isn't that ridiculous?

"What if I really want to go out?" Lu Chen suddenly felt an immense longing for the outside world, mainly because there was practically no room for advancement within the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Even the most powerful swordsman, Jian Yu, only managed to obtain a high-grade spiritual weapon from her, which wasn't very valuable.

To further improve, one must devour a large number of spirit swords or find more powerful tools, but right now, the Myriad Swords Sect does not meet the requirements.

"this……"

Jianyu was at a loss for what to do.

"Didn't you say before that with my current strength, I couldn't grow into a true powerhouse without going through the brutal trials of the outside world? My strength is just so-so now, and I have to go out. Now you're saying it's not possible?"

Lu Chen frowned.

Jian Yu sighed and said, "Things are different now. You are now the sect leader, how can you treat this lightly?"

"A sect leader who has never experienced bloody trials and the baptism of fire is nothing more than a flower in a greenhouse. How can he shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the sect? If he hides away from any danger, how can he grow?"

Lu Chen sighed and didn't say much, but his meaning was clear.

If you want me to take responsibility, then let me out.

Jian Yu and the other elders and hall masters exchanged glances for a moment, discussed it privately, and then finally made a decision.

The sect leader is too young and indeed lacks experience.

We need to go out.

However, safety is also extremely important.

For the Myriad Swords Sect now, Lu Chen, this peerless genius, is the most important guarantee for its revival; nothing else matters.

"We have already discussed it. It is permissible for the sect leader to go out for training, but he must be accompanied and protected by someone."

"In that case, since Junior Sister Jianyu is very strong, let her go with you! Junior Sister Jianxue will also go. I will manage the sect for you and ensure you have no worries!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen paused for a moment, then asked, "The two of them? Is that alright?"

"You are the sect leader. Who would dare disobey your orders?" Jian Yu said with a smile.

Lu Chen smiled.

"Alright! I'll bring a few more people!"

Lu Chen thought to himself that Yi Yi would definitely have to come along with him this time.

Sword Language must also go.

This aloof junior sister's cultivation level is unknown, but she is much stronger than me.

Bodyguards are necessary.

Jianxue's strength is about the same as Jianyu's, so they can go together.

Soon, Lu Chen finalized his selection of several candidates.

Three days later, Lu Chen finally left the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. This was his first time going out to train.

The moment Lu Chen stepped out of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's protective formation, he couldn't help but look back, feeling quite sentimental.

When he first joined the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he was a weak newbie with nothing but an innate sword physique. He was overjoyed, thinking that after entering the sect, he would be chosen and become a true disciple.

But in just a few months, he has become the leader of a faction.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Yi Yi, standing beside him, glanced at Lu Chen with a curious look.

On this trip, Yiyi insisted on going with Lu Chen to gain experience.

Yiyi's strength has now reached the peak of the Yellow Realm, and it's time for her to go out and see the world.

In addition, there was Jian Yu, the head of the Heavenly Sword Hall, who brought along Chan'er, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Hall.
