The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1416 Shu Zifeng is in trouble!

Without Gao Yue's blessing, the blood array was instantly broken by the crowd, and the twelve array flags were also destroyed.

The immortal energy filled the air once more, and all the cultivators were like fish that had been on the verge of death on the shore returning to the water, instantly becoming refreshed and invigorated.

"I never imagined this birthday banquet would be a trap. Gao Yue is truly despicable!"

"If it weren't for Lin Chen, we would all be dead here today."

"Yes, Lin Chen really saved our lives today. If it weren't for his terrifying sword strike, we, who had exhausted our immortal energy, would have had no chance against Gao Yue. In the end, we would probably have been refined into a pool of blood and devoured by him!"

"The evil Dao of Refining is like a rat in a gutter; you can't kill it all, and it always comes out to cause trouble every now and then!"

"Our Cloud Sky Continent is a little better off; the Dao of Refining isn't rampant there. But if this were the Crimson Continent, it would be like a breeding ground for Gu poison, with demons practicing the Dao of Refining everywhere!"

Everyone who escaped alive was filled with lingering fear.

Who knew Gao Yue would suddenly turn on him?

His little tricks completely fooled everyone, leaving them exhausted and unable to fight back.

Elder Chen Ke of the Haiyun Sect cupped his hands and said, "Lin Chen, I owe you my life. I will never forget your life-saving grace. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word, and I will go through fire and water for you!"

Lin Chen returned the greeting with a cupped hand and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Chen, there's no need to worry. I was just trying to save myself."

Chen Ke laughed and said, "Although it was self-rescue, you truly saved all of us. Anyway, I will remember this great favor!"

The others also thanked Lin Chen, who smiled, cupped his hands, and looked around: "Fellow Daoists, when we encounter calamity, we should support each other and overcome difficulties together. This is only right and proper. There's no need to take it to heart. Let's find our way back first."

After leaving the center of the island, the group captured many disciples of Tongtian Cave. After interrogating them, they learned that this was not a separate secret realm, but a deserted island north of Donghua Mountain. These disciples were completely unaware of what Gao Yue had done, and they also believed that everything here was a place for guests to play.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were all worried that this was a secret realm and that they would all be trapped inside. After all, entering and leaving a secret realm involves the rules of the Heavenly Dao, which cannot be changed by anyone at will.

With things having come to this point, no one wanted to linger any longer. Many who had come alone left directly from here and embarked on their journey home. After all, Gao Yue, the host of the birthday banquet, was dead, so what was the point of going back to Donghua Mountain?
A small group of people returned to Donghua Mountain with their companions. Among the crowd, Guan Xinyue and the middle-aged man quietly slipped away.

"Uncle-Master, what do we do now?"

Guan Xinyue's eyes were filled with trepidation and unease. She had witnessed Lin Chen kill Gao Yue with a single sword strike, which had greatly shocked her.

Should we really mess with this person?

Moreover, although he saved himself, he also saved both of their lives...

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind: "He himself said that he saved himself, so we don't need to owe him anything. Here's what we'll do: since the people from the Heavenly Tiger Sect didn't enter the teleportation portal just now, you should inform them in advance that Ancestor Donghua is dead and we are returning..." Guan Xinyue's eyes lit up and she whispered, "Let the people from the Heavenly Tiger Sect take action?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Just be careful how you speak, so that no one suspects us."

Guan Xinyue immediately understood; this was a scheme to use someone else to do her dirty work.

The martial uncle had already spoken with the people of the Heavenly Tiger Sect. They all knew that Shu Zifeng, who was with Lin Chen, was the girl who had escaped. Now that they knew that the Donghua Patriarch was dead, they naturally didn't need to hold back anymore and could directly kidnap her and leave.

As for Lin Chen, who offended the White Crane Immortal Sect?
So what if I've offended them?

Although he was of a high seniority, being a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Su Shaoling, he was ultimately just a Human Immortal.

"go!"

……

Lin Chen and Chen Ke returned along the way, keeping all the Tongtian Cave disciples in the dark, completely unaware of what had happened.

Lin Chen ignored them and went straight to the side hall to find Shu Zifeng.

Standing at the entrance of the side hall, Lin Chen's eyes swept across the entire room, but he did not see Shu Zifeng, and he immediately frowned.

He had specifically told Shu Zifeng not to wander off, so where is she?
Lin Chen sent a message to Shu Zifeng, but still received no reply.

Lin Chen's expression immediately turned cold.

He quickly found the Tongtian Cave disciple standing at the entrance and inquired, "Have you seen my maid? She's sixteen years old, wearing a green robe, with her hair in a ponytail, and about this tall..."

There were many people sitting in the side hall, but very few girls around fifteen or sixteen years old. After a moment's thought, the Tongtian Cave disciple replied, "She just left with a few people."

Lin Chen pressed further, "Who did you leave with? Does anyone know which sect you were from?"

The disciple from Tongtian Cave replied, "Tianhu Sect."

A fierce killing intent suddenly flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. The Heavenly Tiger Sect was one of the sects that destroyed the Shu family and hunted down Shu Zifeng.

Shu Zifeng is in trouble!
