The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1254 How about we go deep into enemy territory?
Yuanji suddenly looked up, his eyes wide with shock: "Turned into my likeness?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, he was ruthless. In the blink of an eye, I was severely injured. So I subconsciously grabbed your true soul, but he didn't move at all. That's when I realized that the assassin was not you. It was my fault that you suffered for nothing."

Yuanji's expression changed drastically, and he cupped his hands again: "Master is kind-hearted and compassionate. Even under such circumstances, you still did not kill my true soul. Yuanji thanks Master for sparing my life!"

Lin Chen waved his hand: "My subconscious thought at the time was that you were a demon, and you might have been turned against me during your contact with other demons, so I wanted to restrain you and ask you about the inside story. Luckily, if I had just killed you, you would have been wronged to death."

Yuanji had initially thought that Lin Chen was warning him in this way because he hadn't returned on time, but he never expected it to be such a big misunderstanding.

Thinking about how he almost died without knowing why, Yuanji was filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, Lin Chen still managed to control himself and ask about the situation. If he had crushed his true soul without asking any questions, he would have truly died unjustly, just as Lin Chen had said.

"Thank you, Master. Did the assassin escape?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Although he severely injured me, the fairy intervened and subdued him. He is already dead."

Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was dead. Otherwise, if he had tricked himself again someday, he didn't know if he would have such good luck again.

"How is the situation with the army this time?"

Yuanji replied, "I infiltrated the army and questioned several officers. This time, there were many great shamans accompanying the army, but I couldn't find out if there were any immortals. I observed for several days and didn't see any trace of immortals."

"This time, the army's commander is one of the seven demon generals, the Azure Dragon Saint Lord of the Azure Dragon Sect. He has at least two or three hundred powerful demons under his command, and the formation is quite intimidating."

Lin Chen's eyes widened. If he were to encounter such a lineup, he would be crushed to dust in no time.

Gao Yi arrived, asked all the questions, and finally turned to ask, "If Xuan Ji makes a move, can these great witches and demons withstand it?"

Lin Chen answered definitively, "I can't hold on."

Gao Yi received an affirmative answer: "If that's the case, there must be immortals in their military camp!"

Lin Chen asked, "Why?"

Gao Yi laughed and said, "The demon race mobilized their army because the immortals were backing them up. They wanted to force out Fairy Xuanji. You and Fairy Xuanji are most likely together. If there weren't any immortals in the army camp who could suppress Fairy Xuanji, they definitely wouldn't have mobilized such a large force. After all, in front of a fairy, it would be like giving away their troops for free!"

"Just as we initially predicted, after our vanguard was defeated, the demon race will definitely send out their truly powerful forces—the real offensive, but also bait." Lin Chen stroked his chin. "If that's the case, these great shamans and great demons are the bait laid out in the open, while the immortals are hidden among them, waiting for us to fall into their trap..."

Gao Yi nodded: "That should be the case, otherwise, none of this makes sense."

Lin Chen tilted his head slightly: "Fairy, can you sense the other person's presence?"

Xuanji Fairy's voice came: "It's possible, but if I can sense the other party, the other party should also be able to sense me. In the Wilderness Realm, no matter how much strength we have, under suppression, the difference won't be too much. Moreover, since the other party is going to send someone to deal with me, they must be stronger than me."

Lin Chen asked, "Since the strength of each other is not much different under suppression, and they want to suppress you all at once, there is only one answer: there is more than one immortal there..."

Fairy Xuanji nodded: "It should be."

"Let me think about it. You guys go ahead and get busy."

Lin Chen dismissed Gao Yi and Yuan Ji before asking, "So what do we do now? We can continue to retreat, but we don't know their numbers or strength before we leave..."

Qi's voice suddenly rang out: "In the Xuanji Tower, take me with you. As long as we get close enough, I can sense their presence, but they can't sense me."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Can't the immortal sense you?"

Qi replied, "Yes, I am a magic weapon with an array inside that can conceal my fluctuations. In this way, I can sense their fluctuations, but they cannot detect mine."

Lin Chen asked, "How close do I need to be?"

"It depends on how well the other party conceals themselves. If it's just ordinary invisibility, I can probably sense them from tens of kilometers away. But if the other party is deliberately using methods to conceal their presence, I'm afraid they'll be very close, within a kilometer, or even closer."

Qi replied, "I cannot give you a definite answer to that."

Lin Chen blinked, and a plan immediately formed in his mind: "If the other side's immortals discover us, will you be able to escape, Sister Qi?"

Qi replied, "It's not a big problem."

Lin Chen immediately had a plan: "In that case, let's go deep into enemy territory..."
