The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1144 The corpse can be resurrected, that's outrageous!
Can it help with spiritual practice?
Yes!

It was worth it to almost freeze into an icicle and nearly get smashed into mincemeat by several giant beasts!

"Let's go."

Lin Chen flew all the way to Linzhou City in Zhongshenzhou. Then, he traveled a thousand miles north and, following the map, found the secluded valley that Zhu Yao had mentioned.

Lin Chen sent a message to Zhu Yao.

I'm here, are you still there?

Zhu Yao quickly replied: "Still here. Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up."

Lin Chen gave his location, and soon after, a middle-aged man appeared.

“Mr. Lin, I am Zhu Ping, Zhu Yao’s seventeenth uncle. Please come with me.”

Lin Chen was slightly puzzled as to why it was Zhu Yao's seventeenth uncle who came to pick him up, instead of Zhu Yao himself.
"Okay, sorry for the trouble!"

Zhu Ping led Lin Chen forward, and Lin Chen noticed that the other party seemed to deliberately avoid the graveyards on the inner side of the valley, always flying close to the edge.

Soon, the two arrived at a campsite and followed Zhu Ping into a tent, where Lin Chen saw Zhu Yao.

Lin Chen suddenly understood why this guy hadn't come to pick him up; it wasn't that he didn't want to come, but that he simply couldn't.

Zhu Yao lay on the bed, covered in wounds and blood, looking utterly miserable.

Zhu Yao was pale and looked weak: "Brother, I almost died. You must be laughing at me..."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "Who did this?"

Zhu Yao smiled bitterly, "A corpse? There's something fishy about this valley. The corpses buried underground haven't even rotted away, and they can still jump out and attack people. Can you believe something so absurd?"

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "A corpse coming back to life?"

Before Zhu Yao could answer, Lin Chen waved his hand: "Don't say anything yet, you look too miserable, let me treat you first..."

Lin Chen turned to Zhu Ping and asked, "Mr. Zhu, could you let me be alone with him for a while?"

Zhu Ping nodded: "Okay, I'll be right outside. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

Zhu Yao stared at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with hope: "What are you going to do?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Close your eyes."

Zhu Yao obediently closed his eyes and said, "If there's anything inconvenient, then don't treat me. My injury looks terrible, but I won't die. After two months of rest, I'll be a lively and energetic man again..."

"Shut up, you."

Lin Chen took out the Life-Giving Pearl and placed it on Zhu Yao's chest, beginning to infuse it with spiritual energy. The spiritual energy quickly transformed into rich vitality, flowing into Zhu Yao's body. The terrifying wounds on his body began to heal rapidly, then scab over and fall off.

A few minutes later, Lin Chen put away the Life Pearl and patted Zhu Yao's arm.

"Alright, stop lying down and get up to tell me what happened?"

Zhu Yao opened his eyes and looked at the huge wound on his chest that had completely healed, his eyes wide with shock.

"Holy crap, what did you do to me? Did you cast a spell?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "These are just some minor tricks, not worth mentioning."

Zhu Yao got up from the bed, stretched his arms a couple of times, and then ripped off the strips of cloth covering his body. Looking at the wound that had completely scabbed over, Zhu Yao's eyes lit up.

"Amazing! That's incredible! With skills like that, there's no need to fear getting hurt. I'll take them down!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's just treating the wounds; the body is still weak and needs to be recuperated."

Zhu Yao looked at Lin Chen with admiration: "As expected of the Human Emperor, his skills are amazing."

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Emperor.

Lin Chen muttered to himself, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop flattering me. Tell me, what's going on? Didn't you come here to find the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire? How did you get involved with some kind of corpse?"

Zhu Yao sighed, "The Yin-Yang Ghost Fire is indeed here. It has appeared several times during this period, but this thing has already developed basic intelligence. It knows how to dodge and how to fight. We tried everything to catch it, but we failed. Instead, two of us were burned to death by it."

"I am a fire spirit, and I have a natural strong sense of fire. So as soon as it appears, I chase after it. I am a fire spirit and I am not afraid of fire. It can't do anything to me."

"I chased it until it had nowhere to run, so it crawled into those tombs. Then something strange happened. The tombs suddenly exploded, and an old man in blue robes rushed out like a zombie and attacked me."

"I was originally chasing the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire, but I never expected such a strange thing to happen. Moreover, the old man's strength was terrifying. He was at least in the mid-stage of the Void Realm, or even the late stage. He only used one move, and I was almost torn to pieces on the spot."

"Have the corpses in the graves come back to life?"

Lin Chen was very curious, after all, such a bizarre thing was unbelievable just to hear about.

"and after?"

Zhu Yao replied, "My family elders came to my aid immediately, which prevented me from being torn to pieces by that corpse. Under the combined attack of everyone, the corpse was blasted to pieces."

Lin Chen pressed further, "Where is the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire?"

Zhu Yao looked unwilling: "I don't know, it's probably hiding. We'll just have to wait for it to show itself again."

The Yin-Yang Ghost Fire can actually revive the dead and even fight?
interesting!
Lin Chen suddenly became interested in the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire.
