The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1528 You choose the path to heaven but not the path to hell!
Xuelong Mountain.

On the snow-covered mountaintop, in this sparsely populated area, there are rows of houses, with a magnificent white palace standing proudly atop the mountain.

If people look from a distance, they can only see the snow and mist swirling around the mountaintop, and cannot see the buildings on the mountaintop at all.

The three men and one woman who had previously forced Lin Chen to come but were injured and driven away by Lei Zhenxiu quickly flew into the mist, showed their tokens, passed through the formation, and then flew into the main hall on the mountaintop.

Inside the main hall, a white-haired man sat cross-legged, meditating.

He looked very young, probably in his thirties, but his hair was snow-white, without a single stray hair.

Three men and one woman entered the room, bowed in the center of the hall, and raised their right hands to their foreheads.

"Owner!"

The white-haired man opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the injured man, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"What about people?"

The leading man looked frightened and quickly replied, "The new Pill King is Lin Chen from the White Crane Immortal Sect. He is a disciple of Su Shaoling and I don't know where he learned such powerful alchemy skills."

"We followed him out of Feifeng City, stopped him, and were about to forcibly bring him back when suddenly three people appeared: a masked woman, a middle-aged woman, and an old man with white hair. The middle-aged woman attacked and injured Huang Yuan with one move. Their strength was at least that of a Golden Immortal. We were powerless and had no choice but to retreat."

The white-haired man raised an eyebrow: "Su Shaoling's disciple? When did Su Shaoling learn alchemy?"

The man replied, "His alchemy skills were definitely not learned at White Crane Manor; he must have had some other extraordinary encounter."

The white-haired man asked, "Who are those three people?"

The man, sweat beading on his forehead, said, "I don't know, but I left images of them when I evacuated..."

The white-haired man slightly raised his chin but didn't speak.

The man took out a recording stone, infused it with his inner energy, and an image was immediately projected into the air.

The masked Yao Xuanji, Lei Zhenxiu, and Zhong Quan in the picture look as if they are alive, lifelike.

The white-haired man's gaze fell on the image, and he seemed to be stunned for a moment before suddenly leaping up, his eyes widening in shock.

"Zhong Quan!"

The three men and one woman in the center of the hall were startled by the white-haired man's actions.

what happened?

Master Hanxue is incredibly powerful and usually doesn't show his emotions. Why is he reacting so strongly now?
Who are these three people?

The white-haired man's gaze swept over Lei Zhenxiu, looked at her twice, and finally settled on Yao Xuanji, whose face was obscured by a veil. His eyes shone brightly, as if they were about to break through the sky.

“Zhong Quan is not guarding the Immortal Palace, but has actually appeared on the Cloud Continent. There is only one person who could make him leave his protection…” “She actually left the Immortal Palace!”

The white-haired man's face showed excitement. He stared at the masked Yao Xuanji for a long time before withdrawing his gaze and suppressing his excitement.

Where did you encounter them?

The man replied, "They are probably also chasing after Lin Chen, in the wasteland about four hundred miles west of Feifeng City."

The white-haired man squinted: "They're chasing after the new Pill King? That's unlikely. The Immortal Palace has no shortage of alchemists..."

After a pause, the white-haired man sat back down cross-legged on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Tell me everything that has happened these past few days, especially about this Lin Chen."

"Yes!"

The man said respectfully, "We received orders and entered Flying Phoenix City. The competition has just begun..."

The man recounted the entire competition, and the white-haired man listened attentively. When he heard about the grand scene of Lin Chen publicly teaching the "flower-picking hand" technique, his eyebrows rose.

"An alchemy technique never before seen in the Thunder Immortal Realm?"

"It seems that Lin Chen has indeed had some extraordinary encounter. His alchemy skills are exactly what we need..."

"Could it be that they are chasing after Lin Chen because of his unique alchemy skills, so they are trying to recruit him, or perhaps they want him to refine some kind of elixir?"

The man in white closed his eyes and his mind raced.

After a long while, the white-haired man opened his eyes and coldly ordered, "Pass on my order: everyone must leave the mountain and mobilize all available informants to search for the whereabouts of those three people and Lin Chen. Once you find anything, report it as quickly as possible using special means!"

"Search discreetly, without letting them notice, and don't alert them. Whoever finds them will be richly rewarded!"

The man and the others bowed and placed their right hands on their foreheads in unison: "Yes!"

After everyone left, the white-haired man thought for a moment, then stood up and headed towards the back of the main hall.

After passing through the main hall, he arrived at his cave dwelling at the very back. He picked up a jade slip and quickly entered the message.

After the message input was completed, he went into the innermost room of the cave, where two small array plates were set up on the floor.

If a master of formations were here, he could tell at a glance that this is a teleportation master-disc system, consisting of a slave disk and a master disk.

The white-haired man made a hand seal, and the mother plate, which had been in a quiet state, suddenly burst forth with a brilliant white light.

The white-haired man threw the jade slip into the array plate. A flash of white light appeared, and the jade slip disappeared.

The white-haired man lowered his hand, stared at the glowing array plate, and suddenly laughed: "You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, you have no gate to hell but choose to barge in..."
