The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1697 If we're going to do something, let's do it on a grand scale!
Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "That's great! Now we have someone to keep things in check. From now on, you can speak and act with more confidence. Anyone who openly defies the Immortal Palace and disobeys orders, just kill them. Just say who you want to kill; don't be afraid."

Yao Xuanji asked, "And the second thing?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Interests! People who stand on your side and fight to the death for others are either genuine supporters, motivated by emotion, or they are driven by self-interest. Most people are driven by self-interest, so to motivate them, you have to offer them enough benefits."

"The Immortal Palace has ruled the Immortal Realm for so long. Even if the Realm Lord doesn't manage things, there should still be some income and some savings, right?"

Yao Xuanji nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, the Immortal Palace Treasury contains a lot of magic weapons, cultivation techniques, and rare treasures. However, the immortal medicines are basically gone. These have been handed over by various continents over a long period of time. My father did not manage much of the affairs, and there are not many people in the Immortal Palace, so a lot has been accumulated."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's fine as long as we have them. These things may not be of much use to top experts, but they will always be attractive to those who still have room for improvement. Moreover, since this is a war, everything that the losers have is naturally the spoils of the victors."

"If there is a war, there will naturally be gains if you win. At that time, we can take out these gains as spoils of war and reward everyone, so that everyone can gain something."

Lin Chen's words were not unfounded. The Heavenly Dao Alliance was clearly not just an organization composed of a few dozen powerful individuals; they had probably already absorbed countless sects into its ranks.

The war between the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance will inevitably result in the purging of countless sects.

Each sect has its own territory and its own way of making profits, and these can be given as spoils of war to the victors.

War is the best way to make money, so there's no need to worry about not having enough benefits to give to others.

No?

Just grab it and you'll get it!
Yao Xuanji was somewhat surprised by Lin Chen's decision.

So far, the struggle between the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance has been conducted in secret. The Heavenly Dao Alliance is developing in secret, while the Immortal Palace is unwilling to let anyone discover its weakness. However, according to Lin Chen's statement, if things are done this way, the conflict between the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance will quickly intensify and may even lead to uncontrollable consequences.

Lin Chen roughly understood Yao Xuanji's worries and said softly, "The growth of a force is always the most difficult in the early stages, but once it gains momentum, it is very difficult to destroy it. It will expand like a snowball, and in the end, it will form an unstoppable and devastating avalanche."

"It's only natural for the Celestial Palace to take the initiative. If you've already been ambushed and still remain silent, it will only make people think that the Celestial Palace is already weak and doesn't dare to utter a sound after being humiliated. In such a situation, who would dare to stand on the Celestial Palace's side?" "At that time, I'm afraid the vast majority of neutral factions will choose to side with the Heavenly Dao Alliance. After all, who doesn't want to fight with an easy advantage? If the Celestial Palace acts more aggressively, everyone will think that the Celestial Palace is the stronger party..."

Yao Xuanji's eyes lit up, and she finally made a decision.

Lin Chen is right. Being intercepted and killed as a proxy domain lord is the greatest provocation to the Immortal Palace.

Shouldn't the normal reaction of the Celestial Palace be to hunt down the Heavenly Dao Alliance across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?

If we pretend nothing happened, and the news gets out, everyone will think that the Immortal Palace is doomed and about to collapse. Under such circumstances, who would dare to help the Immortal Palace?
Lin Chen looked at Yao Xuanji's bright eyes and knew she was persuaded. He smiled and said, "Not too long has passed since the ambush. You can find an excuse to say that you've been secretly investigating the Heavenly Dao Alliance and attacking it. Didn't you kill quite a few of the Black-Clad Blood Envoy and Red-Clad Blood Envoy's subordinates before? You can include that in your report as a victory in the declaration of war. That way, people will feel the power of the Immortal Palace even more..."

"The Heavenly Dao Alliance ultimately doesn't dare to show its face and fight you, so in the open, you can boast as much as you want, making it sound like the Heavenly Dao Alliance is vulnerable and about to be wiped out, like a drowning dog that anyone can hit with a stick. That would be perfect."

Yao Xuanji chuckled and said, "Alright, I understand. I will do as you say."

Yao Xuanji looked at Lin Chen with gentle eyes and gratitude: "It's a good thing you came. Otherwise, I was planning to continue to endure this and secretly spar with the other party. But thinking about it carefully, I realized that would be too much of a loss for me."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. You are now the Lord of the Immortal Realm. Be bolder. If anyone dares to disobey you, just fight them. At worst, you can smash them to pieces and run away. What's there to be afraid of?"

Yao Xuanji laughed and said, "Alright, let's fight them!"

Lin Chen asked, "There should be strategists in the Immortal Palace, right? Throw this matter to him and let him plan how to make a big splash, so that everyone in the entire Immortal Realm knows about it, so that everyone in the Heavenly Dao Alliance feels insecure, and so that those who want to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance are wary. If we do that, we'll have won half the battle."

"What remains is to gather more powerful individuals, then search for members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and repeatedly eliminate them. With enough victories, the Heavenly Dao Alliance will be reduced to ashes..."
