Jianxin led Su Chen to the outside of a grand hall.
Jianxin turned to look at Su Chen and said, "Master, please wait a moment."
Su Chen nodded without saying anything.
Jianxin turned around, faced the main hall, clasped his hands in a respectful salute, and called out, "Sect Master, I'm back."
"Yes, come in." After a moment, a weathered voice echoed from inside the hall.
Jianxin looked at Su Chen, "Master, let's go into the main hall."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
Jianxin smiled slightly, then pushed open the main hall door. The two entered the hall and looked at an old man floating in the air.
The old man was dressed in a plain robe, and although his hair was completely white, he looked incredibly energetic. Countless terrifying Sword Intent swirled around him, demonstrating his extraordinary nature.
Li Boshan, Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!
Li Boshan slowly opened his eyes, looking at Jianxin. Sensing the aura emanating from Jianxin that even he himself feared, a relieved smile appeared on his face. "You've received the inheritance?"
Jianxin nodded and said, "Yes!"
Li Boshan smiled slightly, "Not bad."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Su Chen. The moment he saw Su Chen, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression gradually became serious.
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching Li Boshan.
Li Boshan turned to look at Jianxin, his eyes filled with doubt, "Who is he?"
Jianxin hesitated for a moment, then introduced, "My master."
Upon hearing this, Li Boshan frowned. "Your master?"
Jianxin nodded, and then recounted how he became Su Chen's disciple.
After hearing Jianxin's words, Li Boshan fell silent.
He didn't blame Jianxin, because when he saw Su Chen, he knew that Su Chen was no ordinary person. However, what he didn't expect was that Jianxin had become someone else's disciple after just one trip.
This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if the rough gem he had carefully nurtured was being nurtured by someone else.
Jianxin saw the distress in Li Boshan's heart and immediately knelt down, saying earnestly, "Sect Master, please rest assured. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect has nurtured me for many years, and I will never forget this kindness. In this life, I am a member of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and in death, I will be a member of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
After hearing Jianxin's words, Li Boshan finally felt a little better. He smiled slightly, "Yes, I believe what you said, but..."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Just a few days ago, an elder came to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. This elder took a liking to you and said he wanted to take you as his disciple."
Jianxin frowned, his eyes filled with doubt. "The headquarters of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect? Is this a branch?"
Li Boshan nodded and said, "That's right, we are just a branch. The real headquarters is in the Upper Immortal Realm, called the Sword Sect."
Upon hearing this, Jianxin remained silent. This was the first time he had heard that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had a headquarters. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why did that elder from the headquarters want to take me as his disciple?"
Li Boshan replied, "Because he saw your talent in Sword Dao."
Jianxin said in a deep voice, "But I already have a master."
Li Boshan, "That elder has a rather volatile temper. If he finds out you've taken someone else as your master, he'll definitely come looking for you."
Jianxin was silent for a moment, then said, "Where is he? I need to explain this to her."
"Here." Li Boshan was about to speak when a cold voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Upon hearing this voice, Li Boshan's expression changed, and he quickly descended from the void, looking towards the outside of the main hall with awe.
Su Chen and Jianxin also looked over upon hearing the sound.
A woman was leaning against the doorframe of the main hall. She wore a long purple robe, had a slender and well-proportioned figure, a refined face, and sharp eyes. However, she looked exceptionally cold, like an iceberg, making people feel chilled.
Jianxin was taken aback when he saw the woman. He had assumed the elder was a man, but it turned out to be a woman.
The woman glanced at Jianxin, then looked at Su Chen. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Su Chen, but it disappeared in an instant.
Jianxin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "And you are?"
The woman looked at Jianxin and said calmly, " Tang Yan, from now on, you will be my master."
Jianxin's expression froze, then he said, "I have a master now."
The woman nodded and said, "I know."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Chen, "He is not worthy to be your master."
Upon hearing this, Jianxin's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense!"
After he finished speaking, cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. At this moment, he was truly worried for this elder from the Sword Sect.
Big sister!
It's one thing if you say this to others, but how dare you say it in front of your master? Do you really have a death wish?
I'm really afraid that Master will lose his temper and kill you with a single sword strike!
That would be so embarrassing for me!
Don't do anything reckless!
Jianxin prayed silently, cold sweat streaming down his face.
Seeing Jianxin's current state, Tang Yan frowned. "Why are you so nervous? I'm just telling the truth. How could someone from the lower realm be worthy of being your master?"
It's over!
Jianxin covered his face, feeling a bit of a headache.
This woman is really asking for trouble!
Sigh~
He sighed inwardly and cautiously looked at Su Chen. Seeing Su Chen's expressionless face, even somewhat cold, he panicked.
He hesitated for a moment, about to speak, but Su Chen stopped him with a hand. Seeing this, Jianxin could only shut up helplessly, wishing Tang Yan good luck in his heart. Anyway, he had done his best.
Su Chen looked at Tang Yan, a smirk playing on his lips, "You're saying I'm not worthy to be his master?"
Tang Yan nodded calmly and said, "Yes!"
Su Chen laughed and said, "You're not worthy?"
Tang Yan said confidently, "Of course!"
Su Chen smiled and nodded, and the next moment, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Tang Yan's expression changed drastically, and a sense of crisis surged into her heart. She had just reacted and was about to make a move when a slender, jade-like hand twisted her neck. Then, her legs gradually left the ground and she floated in the air.
Upon seeing this, Li Boshan exclaimed in shock, "What are you trying to do!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Chen cast an extremely cold gaze at him, which made him tremble violently, and a sense of fear spread through him.
Holy crap!
Big shot?
At this moment, Li Boshan truly realized how terrifying Su Chen was!
Jianxin covered his face, saying helplessly, "Why did you have to do something so stupid? Sigh, I don't understand, I just don't get it!"
At this moment, Tang Yan was completely stunned. Everything happened too fast, and she had no time to react!
However, she quickly realized what was happening, and immediately flew into a rage, then circulated her Immortal Qi.
But the next moment, her expression froze, because she discovered that the Immortal Qi within her body seemed to be sealed, and she couldn't use it at all!
At that moment, she was struck dumb, her mind went blank, but then she looked at Su Chen in disbelief, her eyes filled with fear.
She said, trembling, "Who... who are you?"
