The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1353 Heavenly Sword Inheritance
The conditions offered by Lan Bingwen made Lin Chen's heart flutter.

Although he didn't say exactly how powerful the Divine Sword Sect was, judging from his ability to win in a chaotic battle among such powerful immortals and to speak confidently and boldly in front of powerful sects like the Divine Wood Palace, it was clear that the Divine Sword Sect was probably quite formidable.

As Lan Bingwen said, Lin Chen was actually unwilling to join a sect with too complicated interpersonal relationships. His identity as the Human Emperor of the Wilderness Realm would inevitably bring a lot of trouble.

The strength of a Human Immortal is only considered mid-level in the immortal sects; there are many people far more powerful than Human Immortals.

If one could truly join a powerful sect and attain a high status, it would indeed save a lot of trouble.

Once you reach a certain status, even if others secretly mock you, or even if they are more powerful than you, they can only harbor resentment in their hearts and dare not verbally insult or even physically assault you.

The rules of the sect are not to be taken lightly.

Zhou Ming of the White Crane Immortal Sect cursed inwardly, wondering which bastard had leaked the news.

What was originally a great harvest of geniuses for the White Crane Immortal Sect has been disrupted by so many people. If it were the White Crane Immortal Sect of the past, it might have had the confidence to compete with everyone for talents, but the current White Crane Immortal Sect is no match for them.

It cannot compare to the Divine Wood Palace's ultimate pursuit of the Way of Water, nor to the Myriad Flowers Palace's ultimate development of women's martial arts, nor to the Divine Sword Sect's endless comprehension of the Way of the Sword.

Seeing Lin Chen's eyes light up, Zhou Ming's heart sank.

Oh no, he's fallen for her!
Honestly, Gu Yuexi going to Shenmu Palace and Chu Jiaxue going to Wanhua Palace are indeed the best outcomes, but Lin Chen doesn't necessarily have to go to Shenjian Sect.

Fairy Xuanji entrusted this matter to their White Crane Immortal Sect. If they could get Lin Chen to join the White Crane Immortal Sect, no matter what, the White Crane Immortal Sect would make a huge profit.

Zhou Ming quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Although Lin Chen possesses a sword-like spirit, he may not necessarily only cultivate the sword. Besides, even if he does cultivate the sword, he doesn't necessarily have to go to your Divine Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Peak of my White Crane Immortal Sect is no less prestigious than the Divine Sword Sect's..."

"Heavenly Sword Peak?"

Lan Bingwen laughed loudly: "Elder Chen, are you kidding me? I admit that with Su Shaoling's Heavenly Sword Peak, my Divine Sword Sect is indeed no match, and no sword cultivator in the world dares to say that they can match it. But without Su Shaoling, is Heavenly Sword Peak still Heavenly Sword Peak?"

A burst of laughter erupted around them, after all, everyone knew about the Heavenly Sword Peak of the White Crane Immortal Sect.

Thousands of years ago, the White Crane Immortal Sect produced a peerless sword genius named Su Shaoling. He comprehended countless sword techniques and created the Heavenly Sword Technique, which swept across the Thunder Immortal Realm with a single sword strike, leaving no one in his path.

The White Crane Immortal Sect and Heavenly Sword Peak were renowned throughout the Thunder Immortal Realm, and no one dared to disrespect them. Su Shaoling swept through the sword masters, but feeling that he had reached a bottleneck, he left the White Crane Immortal Sect and went to other immortal realms to pursue his own sword path. Once he left, he never returned.

Tianjian Peak declined from then on.

The more glorious they were back then, the more destitute they are now.

Zhou Ming's old face immediately fell, and he forced himself to argue, "When my grandmaster left, he said that he left the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword on Heavenly Sword Peak. As long as a suitable successor or a destined person appears, the Heavenly Sword will reappear in the world. Lin Chen is so lucky, maybe he is that destined person..."

Lan Bingwen laughed and said, "If someone could truly obtain the Heavenly Sword inheritance, that would be extraordinary. But in the past few thousand years, has anyone obtained it? How many disciples does Heavenly Sword Peak have left today?"

Lan Bingwen retorted to Zhou Ming with his words, then turned to Lin Chen and smiled, "Well, are you coming to my Divine Sword Sect? I mean what I say. If you come, you'll be my junior brother and the junior uncle of the Divine Sword Sect."

Although Lin Chen was tempted, he didn't rush to agree.

Joining a sect is a major event.

Lin Chen thanked Lan Bingwen politely, but then expressed that he wanted to discuss it further before making a decision.

Lan Bingwen readily waved his hand and agreed: "It's alright, you can discuss it slowly. Once you have a result, whether you accept, refuse, or choose another sect, just let me know."

These sects are all prestigious and influential sects. They certainly want to recruit disciples with good talent, but they would never stoop to servility. Their demeanor is impeccable.

With that, the matter of abducting the person came to an end.

Other sects either wanted to compete but couldn't, or they had the strength but their talents didn't match. For example, the Crimson Flame Sect, although very strong, needed fire spirit roots and preferred cultivators like the Zhu family, especially Zhu Yao with a fire spirit body.

Zhou Ming personally escorted Lin Chen and the other two to a hotel in the city. After settling them in, he said, "What I said before about the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Peak of the White Crane Immortal Sect is true. My grandmaster uncle said in person that he left the inheritance on the Heavenly Sword Peak, but he didn't say much about how this inheritance was passed down."

"If you're not in a hurry to join the Divine Sword Sect, you can stay with my White Crane Immortal Sect for a while. It's also fine if you don't join the White Crane Immortal Sect. Fairy Xuanji said you are a person with great fortune, and perhaps you will really gain something..."
