Lei Chen knew he couldn't stay in the Celestial Sword Sect any longer. The sect's leadership was corrupt, and staying would only put him in further danger. He had grown stronger, but he wasn't ready to take on the entire sect—not yet.
With Elder Tao's help, Lei Chen made plans to leave the sect. It was a risky move, but it was the only way to continue his cultivation without being manipulated by those in power.
On the night of his escape, Lei Chen made his way to the sect's outer perimeter, where Elder Tao had prepared a hidden route. But as he approached the exit, he was confronted by a group of elders, including Elder Yi.
"You think you can just walk away?" Elder Yi snarled. "You're part of this sect now. You don't get to leave."
Lei Chen stood his ground, his eyes blazing with defiance. "I'm done with your lies, Yi. The Celestial Sword Sect may have given me a path, but I'll carve my own destiny from now on."
The confrontation was inevitable. Elder Yi and the other elders attacked, their combined power overwhelming. But Lei Chen was no longer the weak disciple he had been when he first joined the sect. Drawing on the War God's techniques, he fought back with everything he had.
The battle was intense, and Lei Chen found himself pushed to his limits once again. But with Elder Tao's guidance, he managed to escape, leaving the sect behind.
