The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1669 Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose?

"Young master, shall we go to the celestial palace now?"

"No!"

Lin Chen's eyes fell on the map in front of him, and he smiled, "Let's go explore first."

"Adventure?"

Liu Yuqi was completely confused: "Where are we going on an adventure?"

Lin Chen replied, "It's the cave dwelling of a peak Celestial Immortal. It's said that this Celestial Immortal also perished in the cave. Let's go and explore it and see what we can find."

The cave dwelling of a peak celestial being?
Liu Yuqi and Fan Cuihong exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Why does Lin Chen sound so casual?
Such a fortunate encounter is something an ordinary cultivator might not encounter even once in their lifetime. But judging from Lin Chen's tone, it was as if he were saying that there was a banquet being held somewhere, and we could just give a small gift as we passed by, then sit down and have a big meal before continuing our journey.

That's how casual it is!

Lin Chen didn't notice the two people's gazes. After all, for him, the cave of a peak Celestial Immortal was indeed very attractive, but he didn't have too much expectation for it.

The fact that a peak Celestial Immortal perished here, barring any special circumstances, indicates that this peak Celestial Immortal exhausted his life force and ultimately could not break through to the Great Luo realm.

Lin Chen's master, Su Shaoling, comprehended the sword path with the Heavenly Sword and broke through to the Great Luo realm. Normally, shouldn't he be stronger than this peak Heavenly Immortal?

Exploration is still necessary, but the anticipation isn't particularly strong.

The cave dwelling is located in the central part of the Tianxuan Continent, right on the way to the Immortal Palace, so it's very convenient and there's no need to deliberately take a detour.

Lin Chen still chose the commercial airship. Once on board, he could cultivate in the room. When he arrived at his destination, someone would notify him. He didn't have to worry about missing it. Wasn't this much more comfortable than traveling by airship himself?

at the same time.

On the city wall, Li Wentong watched Fang Wubing and his group depart, his face filled with frustration and resentment.

Inside the Shenmu Palace, Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi rarely went out and almost never showed their faces, so Li Wentong had no way to do anything. Therefore, he secretly tampered with one of Fang Wubing's maids and tracked them down.

Originally, he thought that the two might separate after leaving Shenmu Palace, so he could chase after Lin Chen and secretly kill him. However, after leaving Shenmu Palace, they continued to travel together without separating. Moreover, after a certain distance, the group suddenly accelerated and ran wildly, causing Li Wentong to frequently chase in the wrong direction.

Li Wentong finally tracked them down to the city and spotted Fang Wubing and his group. He kept a close eye on them from a distance, but after watching for a while, he discovered that Lin Chen had disappeared without a trace!

When did Lin Chen separate from Fang Wubing and the others?
Aren't they together?
In this vast sea of ​​people, under the boundless sky, where am I supposed to find someone?
Damn it, didn't I just make a wasted trip?
Li Wentong slammed his hand on the city wall in anger, his heart filled with resentment.

Lin Chen, you're lucky!

Next time we meet, I'll kill you!
...Lin Chen was peacefully cultivating in seclusion on the merchant ship, completely unaware that he had just missed a troublesome opportunity.

Two months later, Lin Chen arrived at his destination.

This is a vast inland lake, stretching for thousands of miles, dotted with numerous islands.

The cave dwelling of that peak celestial being named Gao Yu is hidden in this thousand-mile stretch of water.

Yes, not on the island, but underwater.

Lin Chen and the other two had only flown a hundred miles into the water when a sword light shot up into the sky and blocked their way.

"Stop whoever comes!"

Lin Chen stopped the flying boat, cupped his hands, and said, "Just passing by. May I ask what happened here?"

The three young men in white robes who stopped the flying boat sneered, "Just passing by? Heh, do you think I believe you?"

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "Why don't you believe me?"

The young man laughed loudly: "If you are really just passing by, then you can take a detour; this road is blocked."

Lin Chen asked, "Why can't we go through here? What happened?"

The young man laughed and said, "Our Qishan Meiwang Sect has set up a branch here, so naturally we can't let people come and go as they please. Of course, if you're looking for the Immortal Gao's cave, you'll have to pay a fee."

High Immortal?
Gao Yu?

Lin Chen made a helpless expression: "I only came here because I heard people talking mysteriously about a fairy cave. Why do I have to pay a fee?"

The young man chuckled and said, "Pay the fee, and you can search for any lake in the world. If you don't pay, please take a detour."

Lin Chen relaxed; it turned out it was all just to collect fees?
Pluck feathers from a passing goose?

Lin Chen asked, "Friend, I just want to try my luck and see if I have any affinity for immortality, but I know nothing about what's inside. Could you give me a brief introduction and tell me how much it costs?"

The young man casually replied, "Legend has it that a peak Celestial Immortal surnamed Gao stole a very powerful cultivation technique from the Higher Immortal Realm. He was then chased and fled all the way to our Thunder Immortal Realm, where he was seriously injured and hid beneath this thousand-mile stretch of water. No one knows what happened to him in between, but it is said that he died here."

"Legend has it that before he died, he left behind a map and a token. The map can lead to the cave, while the token allows entry..."
