The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1183 Please, Lin Renhuang, uphold justice for me!

"He's actually the Human Emperor!"

“That makes sense. Although he’s not very powerful now, who can compare to the Human Emperor in terms of future potential? With the Human Emperor’s Seal, he’s bound to become a top figure in the Wilderness Realm. Xuanji must have chosen him to work for her and revive her…”

"That should be the case. He openly purchased medicinal herbs just now, so he must be making the Great Luo Rejuvenation Pill. It's impossible for the four kinds of medicinal herbs to be completely the same."

"There's no time to lose. We should report this to the lord immediately. If the lord descends to the mortal realm and captures the Human Emperor, he will surely be able to find out where Xuanji is. We will have done a great service. Once this matter is settled, we can directly enter the Immortal Realm."

"it is good!"

In a secluded corner, the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man whispered to each other, finally reaching a consensus, and quietly retreated, quickly disappearing from sight.

Lin Chen was completely unaware of the impending danger. He swallowed a pill, sat cross-legged, and began to recover his strength.

As night fell, a figure suddenly appeared on the cliff edge where Lin Chen and Qiao Wei were located.

Inside the pavilion, Lin Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the figure.

Which friend is visiting?

The figure took a few steps closer, then suddenly knelt down on both knees and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Please, Lin Renhuang, do me justice!"

Lin Chen was taken aback. What was going on?
Lin Chen stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and said in a deep voice, "What happened? Get up and talk to me."

The person kneeling on the ground stood up. He was a young man with a pale face and a faint smell of blood on his body, clearly indicating that he was injured.

The young man respectfully cupped his hands and said, "I have Jade Phoenix Grass."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and his attitude immediately became more enthusiastic.

"What do you call it?"

The young man replied, "My surname is Qi, Qi Hengchuan, and I am a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect north of Donghuang Prefecture..."

The Dao Seeking Sect?
Lin Chen blinked, as if he had never heard of it. After all, he was not familiar with the sects in the entire Wilderness Realm. He didn't even know the Nine Venerables of the Wilderness, let alone some of the smaller sects.

Qi Hengchuan roughly understood Lin Chen's confusion and said in a low voice, "The Dao Seeking Sect is just a small sect, and its sect leader is only at the Nascent Soul stage. It's normal for Mr. Lin not to know this."

Lin Chen nodded: "Tell me what exactly happened."

Qi Hengchuan replied, "I have two brothers, my eldest brother Qi Hengshan and my second brother Qi Henghe. All three of us are disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect. By chance, we obtained three Emerald Phoenix Grasses." "We know that this grass is very valuable. Since the Spirit Medicine Trade Festival is being held in Donghuang Prefecture, we plan to bring it here to sell and exchange it for cultivation resources."

"However, during a drinking session, my second brother inadvertently let slip that this matter was overheard by someone. Later, the three of us brothers were ambushed and killed on our way to this place."

Qi Hengshan's eyes were red and filled with tears: "My eldest brother stayed behind to hold off the enemy and was killed so that we could escape. My second brother knew that the cause of the trouble was the Jade Phoenix Grass, so he took the Jade Phoenix Grass to lure the enemy away, creating a way out for me and allowing me to escape by chance."

"My second brother will likely not escape either and will eventually die at their hands. The Jade Phoenix Grass will surely fall into their hands as well. I would like to ask Mr. Lin to help avenge my eldest and second brothers. The Jade Phoenix Grass will be my reward!"

Kill people and seize treasures!
Lin Chen sighed inwardly; this was all too common in the cultivation world.

A person is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

Do you know who made the move?

Qi Hengshan replied, "Although I'm not 100% sure, I'm about 70-80% certain. Moreover, I know for sure who leaked this information. As long as we catch him, we can verify my conjecture and determine who the real culprit is."

Lin Chen stared into Qi Hengshan's eyes: "Are you lying to me? If you are lying to me and trying to lure me into making a move, the consequences will be very serious."

Qi Hengshan swore an oath, saying, "Mr. Lin, if I have uttered a single lie, may I die with my intestines ruptured and be condemned to eternal damnation, never to be reborn."

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, I agree."

Although we haven't found out who the forces involved are, now that we have information, we must help, no matter who it is.

I absolutely must get my hands on the Jade Phoenix Grass!

This is a vital elixir for reviving Fairy Xuanji. Anyone who dares to obstruct Fairy Xuanji's revival is asking for trouble.
Kill for treasure?
Since you've already done this, I don't mind doing it once more. After all, those who kill will be killed in return.

How long ago did this happen?

Qi Hengchuan replied, "One day ago."

After a pause, Qi Hengchuan suggested, "Mr. Lin, I know you still want to stay here to buy more spiritual herbs, but if the news that I'm not dead gets back, the person who betrayed the information will probably escape, and the robbers might have already sold or used the Jade Phoenix Grass..."

Before Lin Chen could speak, Qiao Wei said from the side, "You go with him to find the Emerald Phoenix Grass, I'll stay here, that way we can both do our jobs without delay."

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that if he stayed here, he would just be waiting idly, while his senior sister could stay and watch over things.

"Okay, I'll go with you."
