When my cultivation is recovering, the sect comes to persuade me to quit? I agree!

Everyone thought that Lu Chen would kneel down to thank the emperor and accept the punishment, but who would have thought that Lu Chen would take a step forward.

"Master, I think what Junior Sister said is right. The punishment you gave me is indeed too light. I should be punished more severely!"

Chi Lingxiao's body trembled, and her face was surprised.

"Lu Chen, what do you want to do?"

"Don't think we don't know what you're thinking. You can't stand the pain of Siguo Peak and are deliberately provoking us!"

"If you don't want to be punished, you can leave the sect on your own accord. The sect rules will naturally not be able to restrain you. Are you willing to do that?"

Yu Yanxue's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of coldness flashed in her voice.

"Lu Chen, are you really threatening this Sect Master?"

"I dare not, but I do intend to withdraw from the sect."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked!

Lu Chen bowed respectfully, as if he had made up his mind.

Chi Lingxiao was completely stunned.

I just said it, does he really want to quit the sect?

So easily... took the bait?

Suddenly, a young man came in with a sword, his white clothes were whiter than snow, and his tone was urgent.

"Brother, don't be impulsive!"

"Resigning from the sect is a serious matter. It concerns the reputation of the Holy Sect. It is not a joke."

"Besides, if you lose all your cultivation and leave the sect, where will you find a place in this world?"

Every sentence is concerned and every word is regretful.

But it reminds everyone of a fact all the time.

The Lu Chen in front of him was already a disabled person, and the only reason he could continue to breathe was thanks to the charity of the Xuanling Holy Sect!

Lu Chen looked at Qi Ze in front of him.

Ha! This junior fellow is still so good at disguising himself!

Cruel and vicious, hypocritical!

Sure enough, after Qi Ze's words, the face of the elder in charge of the cabinet turned purple.

"Lu Chen, you have such a vicious heart!"

"As everyone knows, you are a meritorious official of Xuanling Holy Sect. If you expel a meritorious official from the sect, the reputation of our Xuanling Holy Sect will be ruined!"

"You are sure that the Sect Master will not do this, so you are retreating to advance. Do you want everyone to look at your face?"

"Since you came back from the Demon Cave, the Holy Sect has treated you well. How can you be so ungrateful?"

After repeated questioning, several people who hadn't figured it out suddenly realized it.

Some people even made bold speculations.

"Lu Chen's mind is so deep? If so, then the three hundred years of guarding the demon cave is also a lie?"

"I heard that there are many rare treasures in the Demon Cave. Lu Chen wouldn't want to enjoy them all by himself, so..."

Amid everyone's speculation, Lu Chen's three hundred years of hard work were destroyed.

All the trust and dedication also vanished...

Lu Chen tried his best to control his emotions.

At present, my cultivation has not yet recovered and I don’t even have the strength to fight against them.

The only thing to do is to leave quickly.

At this point, Lu Chen no longer wanted to argue.

Looking at the master and fellow disciples whom I protected with my life, I just find it ridiculous!

Lu Chen's eyes became firm again.

If you're not leaving, what are you waiting for?

Only a fool would let them control him!

Next to him, a flash of disgust appeared on Qi Ze's face.

When he looked up again, it was still the bright-eyed and handsome prince of Beili, with elegant conversation and extraordinary nobleness.

"Elders, please do not speculate. Senior Brother Lu Chen has done a favor to our Holy Sect."

"I believe that even if Senior Brother Lu Chen did something, there must be a reason for it."

"Brother Lu Chen has no more cultivation. If Master insists on doing this, Brother Lu Chen will really quit the sect!"

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads.

Chi Lingxiao's face was full of heartache.

"Junior brother, you are too kind. You are still speaking for that evil guy at this time!"

"This person has ulterior motives, is dark and treacherous, and what he did today is a disgrace to our Holy Sect!"

"If we let him go today, who knows what kind of outrageous things he might do in the future!"

Qi Ze looked embarrassed, and finally shook his head and sighed.

"Brother, why don't you just admit your mistake? You can avoid some punishment. After all, the sect is your home!"

Lu Chen wanted to laugh.

This is really better said than sung. I'm afraid you've been looking forward to my leaving in your heart!

After a heavy cough, Lu Chen imitated Qi Ze's tone and replied: "Since you respect me as your senior brother, then you don't need to interfere in my affairs."

Qi Ze was shocked, and then looked aggrieved.

Chi Lingxiao suddenly stood in front of Qi Ze and looked at Lu Chen angrily.

"Junior brother, you don't have to pay attention to people like Lu Chen!"

After he finished speaking, Chi Lingxiao glared at Lu Chen angrily, with fire in his eyes.

Yu Yanxue hesitated.

For three hundred years, Lu Chen has devoted everything to the sect, and his statue still stands on the main peak of the Xuanling Holy Sect.

Today, he was expelled from the sect because of the Lingquan incident. This decision makes me, as the sect leader, appear narrow-minded.

But if Lu Chen took the initiative to propose to withdraw from the sect, it would be a different matter.

Yu Yanxue's face turned cold, "Lu Chen, are you really going to leave?"

"Master, if I continue to stay in the sect, it will definitely hinder my junior brother's future."

"When that day comes, it will be difficult for the Sect Master."

"Since the founding of Xuanling Holy Sect, there has never been a precedent of two masters in one sect. For the sake of everyone's safety, please carefully consider the disciple's request."

Yu Yanxue's delicate body trembled, and she looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.

Lu Chen, are you crazy?

How could he say such a major matter as the position of the sect so easily?

Moreover, he put all the thoughts of himself and others on the table!

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Meeting Yu Yanxue's gaze, Lu Chen spoke calmly.

"Master, there is nothing wrong with what I said."

"When I came back from the Demon Cave, I was in a coma for several months. Master once promised that as long as I woke up, he would hand over the Xuanling Holy Sect to me."

"Master, I guess, must be filled with regret after knowing that my disciple's cultivation has been completely destroyed and that he has no spiritual roots left?"

"Since Master has placed all his hopes on me, please have mercy on me and set me free!"

"I am grateful to you forever!"

Yu Yanxue's face turned pale, and she had completely lost her composure.

I really thought so in my heart, but when Lu Chen said this, it was a bit...

His eyes swept across Chi Lingxiao beside him.

Chi Lingxiao immediately understood and refuted it on the spot.

"Lu Chen, don't push your luck!"

"The Sect Master and the disciples remember your kindness to the Holy Sect. Do you really think of yourself as the future Sect Master?"

"Don't you see that in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, which sect would allow a useless person to be the sect leader?"

"If it weren't for the Holy Sect protecting you and raising you, you would have died countless times by now!"

"Even if we agree to your withdrawal, the sect will still do its best for you!"

Yu Yanxue pretended to be angry and scolded.

"Shut up! Stop being rude!"

With a loud "boom", a stone pillar weighing over a thousand pounds in front of him suddenly broke!

Stone dust flew everywhere and the sound was deafening.

Everyone showed a look of astonishment on their faces. Chi Lingxiao kept silent and quickly took a few steps back.

Most of the people present were at the Golden Core Mirror stage and were simply unable to withstand the pressure from the Mahayana cultivators.

This is especially true for Lu Chen at this moment.

His chest felt stuffy and his throat felt sweet, and before he could recover he spat out a mouthful of blood!

After a while, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became peaceful.

"Lu Chen, you'd better think about it carefully. If you leave the sect, there will be no turning back."

"Once you step onto the Bridge of No Return, you will lose all connection with the sect."

"From now on, we are strangers, and all grudges will be gone with the wind."

Everyone's heart was in their throat, and they were increasingly confused about the sect leader's thoughts.

Is this a test or a retention?
