The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1145 Let them rest in peace; that is the greatest respect.
When Zhu Yao stepped out of the tent, the Zhu family members waiting outside stared wide-eyed in shock.

Zhu Yao was almost torn to pieces. They tried everything to barely save his life, but Lin Chen healed him completely in just a short time!
This treatment method is amazing!

As expected of the Human Emperor!
For the Zhu family, it was great news that their son had befriended the Human Emperor and was able to fight alongside him!

With chaos looming, if one can follow the Emperor and become his staunch supporter, wouldn't the Zhu family also be able to make unparalleled contributions in pacifying the world?
After thanking Zhu Ping and the others, Lin Chen looked into the distance and noticed several flying boats still moored there.

"Who is that?"

Zhu Yao replied, "The competitor, we've been trying to catch them for so long but haven't succeeded; the news has leaked out."

Zhu Yao pointed to the flying boats in the distance and called out their names one by one: "The one at the front is the Heavenly Serpent Palace, the one behind it is the Nether Swallow Pavilion, the Hundred Flowers Sect, and there's another flying boat. Everyone on it is wearing masks, acting mysteriously, but they all look fierce and menacing, they don't seem like good people..."

Youyan Pavilion?
Lin Chen's expression was slightly surprised. After finding the fragments of the Water-Fire Mirror in the Flame Glacier and repairing the Water-Fire Mirror, several sects left behind by the Central Divine Continent Alliance were tempted by the money and wanted to steal it from him. Among them, Elder Yi Shaokang of Youyan Pavilion attacked him and was killed by him with Blood Mist.

I never expected to run into Youyan Pavilion here again.

Yi Shaokang caused him trouble, so he killed him to settle the matter. As long as they don't cause him trouble, Lin Chen naturally won't provoke them.

Lin Chen followed Zhu Yao into the Desolate Valley and saw the densely packed graves inside.

The tombstones stand like a forest, the cemetery stretches out, extending to the horizon, to an unseen end.

Lin Chen was deeply shocked as he looked at the endless array of tombstones. How many people must have been buried here to have so many tombstones?
One hundred thousand, or one million?
Why are there so many graves here?

Zhu Yao replied, "This is the site of an important battle between the human race and the demon race ten thousand years ago. At that time, the demon race had swept across most of the Central Divine Continent and was unstoppable. The human race gathered all its strength to build a defensive line here to block the invasion of the demon race."

"This defensive line held out for two years. During those two years, human cultivators fought one after another, and countless people died, but in the end they still couldn't hold it. The defensive line was breached, and then the entire Central Divine Continent collapsed and fell into the hands of the demon race."

"The backbone of the battle here was the ancient eight great families. Unfortunately, after this defeat, the eight great families were basically decimated. The demon race even killed and hunted down the eight great families, wanting to exterminate them."

Zhu Yao pointed to the forest of tombstones, his tone unusually solemn: "Here lie the warriors who guarded the defense line for two years, fighting and sacrificing their lives for the human race..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "That battle was ten thousand years ago, how come the corpses here haven't decomposed yet?"

Zhu Yao replied, "After the resurrection incident, they excavated many tombs and examined them. They found that the bodies of those with lower strength had long since rotted away, some even becoming fossils. However, the bodies of those with strength above the Void Realm were strangely uncorrupted." "Everyone believes that the resurrection of the bodies was due to the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire. After all, everyone saw the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire enter the tomb, and then the tomb exploded, and the old man was resurrected."

"I heard rumors that they are all prepared to do whatever it takes to get the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire, and then try to use it to control the corpses here."

Lin Chen was taken aback: "Using these incorruptible corpses of Void Realm cultivators as their fighting tools?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yao said angrily, "These people have lost all conscience in their pursuit of strength. These are warriors who sacrificed themselves for the human race. Letting them rest in peace is the best respect we can show them. But these people are thinking about how to wake them up and enslave them to fight for them again. They are simply inhuman!"

After a pause, Zhu Yao turned to Lin Chen and said, "There are too many competitors. Although I am a fire spirit body, my chances of getting the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire are slim. When the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire reappears, use whatever means you have to get it into your hands and put an end to their plans!"

Lin Chen glanced at the indignant Zhu Yao and smiled slightly: "Alright!"

Lin Chen and Zhu Yao attracted the attention of the crowd on the distant flying boat. Some people used the Water Mirror Technique to get closer and see Lin Chen's appearance clearly.

On the flying boat of Youyan Pavilion, someone suddenly let out a shocked shout.

"Isn't this Lin Chen... the Human Emperor?"

"Why is he here too?"

"He seems to have a pretty good relationship with that fire spirit from the Zhu family; he must have been hired by the fire spirit!"

"He's the one who killed Elder Yi! Go and report this to the Sect Master immediately!"

Soon, a beautiful middle-aged woman with rather gloomy eyes came to the bow of the ship. After seeing Lin Chen clearly in the water mirror, she raised her eyes, and a murderous aura flowed in them.

"Call upon the people of the Heavenly Serpent Palace and the Hundred Flowers Sect, and let's go find him! He killed our Youyan Pavilion elder and then turned around and left. Even if he is the Human Emperor, this is going too far. He must give us an explanation!"
