The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1378 Fellow Daoist Lin, you're really not being fair!

The valley was completely shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see anything inside. A powerful barrier blocked everyone's path forward.

Near the entrance, there was a raised platform where a group of people were gathered, discussing in hushed tones.

Lin Chen strolled over, his gaze falling on the high platform, and he was immediately stunned.

The base of the platform was constructed of black stone, which seemed to devour all sunlight, giving it a terrifying yet solemn feel. Runes were engraved on the base, like mysterious symbols, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, heavy and oppressive.

In the center of the base is a square hole, as if something should have been there originally.

High platform?

tombstone?

Lin Chen blinked. If this square hole were used to place the stone tablet he had obtained earlier, the size seemed to be just right.

No way?
Could this valley be the final resting place of a woman named Chen Cuiting? There was a monument erected for her by Li Yongzhi at the entrance, but for some unknown reason, it was later thrown away.

Lin Chen remained unmoved.

If my guess is true, then why don't I just go in alone?
If there is any inheritance, if there is any good stuff, keep it to yourself to avoid fighting to the death.

Lin Chen is not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight, but precisely because of this, if there is any real benefit, he will inevitably be targeted by others and eliminated first, since he is the most threatening person in the treasure hunt.

No rush, let's take a look first!
Whether my guess is true or not is still uncertain.

Lin Chen waited for three days.

For three days, teams from more than a dozen sects, totaling hundreds of people, gathered here and tried every possible method, but the barrier remained as stable as a rock, showing no sign of collapsing.

Finally, someone lost patience and led the team away. After all, there was no point in wasting time here, so they might as well take advantage of others wasting time to collect more rare and precious materials and find more baby peaches.

As soon as someone led the way out, others followed, and soon the valley entrance became deserted again.

Liu Qianyun asked, "Grandmaster Uncle, are we going to stay here any longer?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Wait a little longer."

Another day passed, and the number of people dwindled. Only the White Crane Immortal Sect, the Cloud Marsh Sect, and the Green Willow Sect remained at the scene. In addition, there were a few disciples from various sects who stayed behind to observe the situation.

Lin Chen couldn't wait any longer, because he could tell that Yunze Sect and Qingliu Sect seemed to be locked in a stalemate with him and had no intention of leaving.

Yunze Sect's Qi Jun is a Celestial Immortal, and Qingliu Sect has two, making a total of three. Lin Chen is not afraid. "Everyone come and take a look, think about what kind of array patterns are on these, and see if there's any way to deal with them..."

Lin Chen squatted on the high platform and beckoned all the disciples of the White Crane Immortal Sect to his side. The people from the Cloud Ze Sect and the Green Willow Sect watched coldly, not worried at all, after all, too many people had done this before.

Once everyone had gathered around, Lin Chen suddenly whispered, "Shrink around a bit, block me out. Fly a few up and block their view."

All the disciples were quite puzzled, not understanding what Lin Chen was going to do, but they still obediently stood a little tighter, blocking Lin Chen inside completely. At the same time, a group of people floated in mid-air, like a human wall, completely blocking the view of those behind them.

"Does anyone recognize this array pattern? Look here, and here..."

Lin Chen made up some nonsense on the spot, while quietly taking out the stone tablet.

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly.

Grandmaster Zeng, what are you doing?
These past few days everyone else has been researching and analyzing it, while you've been acting indifferent and idle. Now you've suddenly pulled out such a powerful weapon. Isn't that a bit too scary?

Where did you find this big stone tablet?

Although no one knew what would happen if the stone tablet was planted, seeing that the stone tablet and the base of the platform were made of the same material, everyone subconsciously knew that the stone tablet was originally meant to be placed in this pit!
Lin Chen inserted the massive stone tablet directly into the square opening, fitting it perfectly without any misalignment!
The stone tablet instantly fell three feet into the ground, then made steady contact with the bottom, instantly merging with the black stone platform.

Suddenly, the array patterns on the high platform lit up, and streams of light flowed through them, illuminating all the array patterns on the entire foundation of the platform in the blink of an eye.

A flash of white light appeared, and suddenly a stream of light shot out, landing on the barrier of the valley. Like a projection, it outlined a square area. The barrier of that area quickly faded, becoming as clear and transparent as water ripples.

This is a door!

A temporary passage leading into the valley!

The flashing white light startled everyone else, and they all turned to look in this direction.

Lin Chen shouted crisply, "Everyone, come in!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Without a word, they rushed toward the door, plunged inside, and quickly disappeared.

Qi Jun exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you're really not being fair!"

Two immortals from the Green Willow Sect rushed over at the same time, but Lin Chen flashed and blocked the entrance. With a wave of his hand, sharp spiritual energy surged like a long river, slashing at those in front.
