The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1678 You say you are a remnant soul, but you're lying.

The conversation between Chen Haoran and Lin Chen left the audience somewhat confused.

Although some doubts remained, with two peak True Immortals guarding Lin Chen, anyone who dared to approach would be offering themselves up as food.
Lin Chen, a mere Earth Immortal, had two peak True Immortal maidens by his side, which immediately sparked many speculations among the crowd.

This guy is so afraid of death, he must be some rich young master who's out here to gain experience.

He was the one who opened the cave, but he acted completely indifferent. Clearly, he valued his own life more than the treasures and techniques.

With Chen Haoran's loud shout, the scene suddenly descended into chaos.

Some retreated, distancing themselves from the battle; some threw out wide-range attack talismans; some unleashed magical weapons, indiscriminately attacking those around them; and some rushed towards the altar, charging towards the true fire of the sun.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged in the corner, his expression calm.

Suddenly, he sensed someone staring at him.

"Since you opened the cave, you are the one with the destiny. Why don't you try to seize the True Fire of the Sun?"

Lin Chen was startled. Wasn't this the same aged voice that had pronounced the rules before?

Whether it was a misperception or not, Lin Chen had a feeling that the voice seemed even stronger than before.

Lin Chen looked around but didn't find anything unusual. He then replied in a low voice, "I don't have a fire spirit root, so I'm afraid I'm not fit for it. My life is more important."

"Cultivators walk a path that defies the heavens. Your temperament is lacking. Opportunities are right in front of you, yet you don't dare to take a chance. How can you go further on the path of immortality?"

"The True Scripture of the Sun is not only for those with a fire spirit root. Your sword intent is overwhelming, so you must have a sword spirit body. The sword spirit body does not belong to the five elements and has no mutual generation or restraint. Although it is not as compatible with the five elements as the five element spirit body and its power is not as great, it will not be unable to be cultivated due to the mutual restraint of attributes."

"Aren't you really going to give it a try?"

Lin Chen's gaze was calm, his eyelids lowered, and his voice was calm: "There are so many geniuses here, they are definitely more suitable than me. I cultivate immortality just to live a life of leisure and do nothing. With my current strength, I can live a life of leisure for countless years. I don't need to rush at all."

"Dead wood can't be carved!"

The aged voice seemed angry at Lin Chen's stubborn attitude, and angrily cursed, "You don't want the True Fire of the Sun, and you don't want the True Scripture of the Sun either?"

Lin Chen calmly retorted, "I want it, but I don't want to risk my life. If it's dangerous, I'd rather not... Senior, those people are fighting to the death for the True Fire of the Sun. Why are you paying attention to an outsider like me when you're not paying attention to them?" The old voice was silent for a few seconds before coldly snorting, "I risked my life to steal the True Fire of the Sun. If someone could easily come in and take it, I would be furious."

"I also want them to bleed for this opportunity. Only the bravest, most determined, strongest, and most promising cultivators can obtain my inheritance. Such a top-tier inheritance, and you just stand there indifferent. It makes me angry!"

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds: "Senior, you said you were a remnant soul, but you aren't..."

The aged voice fell silent again, and after a long while, it finally spoke: "How did you know?"

Lin Chen's heart sank. He had no idea whether the other party was a remnant soul; he was just trying to trick them.

Perhaps it was because Lin Chen had always acted detached and indifferent to the True Fire of the Sun that Gao Yu was caught off guard by this sudden revelation and immediately revealed his true colors.

Gao Yu probably realized he had been tricked, and since the other party was just a lowly immortal, he didn't bother to make up an excuse. Instead, he directly admitted it and asked Lin Chen how he knew.

Lin Chen said mysteriously, "I naturally have my own methods, senior. How about we make a deal?"

Gao Yu asked in a cold voice, "What are you discussing?"

Lin Chen replied, "I originally just planned to come in and take a look around to see if you have any belongings. Since you are still here, I naturally won't disturb you. Whether you want to choose an heir or have other plans, it's none of my business. You can see the three of us out, and I won't disturb your plans any longer. We can go our separate ways, how about that?"

Gao Yu's voice turned colder: "What do you mean?"

Gao Yu's attitude made Lin Chen even more certain that this immortal cave was a trap. He replied calmly, "I don't want to interfere with any of your plans, senior, but I want to leave alive, it's that simple."

Gao Yu sneered, "What do you take me for? I'm just choosing a destined person to inherit the Sun Scripture. I have no other plans. Don't talk nonsense, or I'll slap you to death."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, looked around, and said softly, "Although the cave is protected by an array, if we attack one point from all sides, the array might break."

Gao Yu said in an unhappy tone, "If you're not interested, then watch carefully. When it's over, I'll send you away. But if you stop me from selecting the destined person, I'll be the first to kill you."

Lin Chen didn't answer again, and began to think about something.

This place may not be as solid as it appears. With a sufficiently strong impact, perhaps the restrictions here can be broken.
Black Dragon Wave, is that enough?
