The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1709 The Confidence of the Celestial Palace

Lin Chen agreed to Yao Xuanji's request and accepted the assignment.

He came to the Immortal Palace originally to see if he could help Yao Xuanji. Now that there is something to do and Yao Xuanji trusts him, he might as well do it.

I've done plenty of massacres before, so I'm quite experienced with it. Besides, what I need to do now is much simpler than massacres.

The Demon Palace is located in the southern part of the Tianxuan Continent. According to the distribution of power of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, this is within the territory of the White-Clad Blood Envoy, one of the Ten Great Blood Envoys. Feng Zhiyin, the Palace Master of the Demon Palace, was subdued by the White-Clad Blood Envoy. However, even Meng Kaihui, the Deputy Palace Master, still cannot know the true identity of the White-Clad Blood Envoy.

This matter drew Yao Xuanji's attention because Meng Kaihui had said that Palace Master Feng Zhiyin had been in close contact with the White-Clad Blood Envoy, and that he knew the White-Clad Blood Envoy's true identity.

The true identity of the White-Clad Blood Envoy, one of the four Blood Envoys of the Tianxuan Continent, is quite important, and it is clearly worth making a special trip for.

The real mission is to capture Feng Zhiyin and interrogate him to find out the identity of the White-Clad Blood Envoy.

According to the information provided by Meng Kaihui, the Demon Fiend Palace has a total of five Celestial Immortal experts, among whom the Palace Master Feng Zhiyin is the strongest, possessing the strength of a late-stage Celestial Immortal. This is also the reason why he is able to strongly control the Demon Fiend Palace.

Besides the Palace Master, there are three Vice Palace Masters at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm: Gong Weihe, Chen Kelong, and Meng Kaihui, and Zhao Chihai, the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. Gong Weihe and Zhao Chihai have clearly expressed their support for the Palace Master, while Meng Kaihui is opposed. Chen Kelong appears to be a centrist, not involved in any affairs, and is in seclusion.

During Lin Chen's seclusion, the letters sent by Cao Hechuan have already had an effect.

Two late-stage Celestial Immortals, Mu Tianxing and Luo Yun, arrived from the Celestial Palace, along with five mid-stage Celestial Immortals and eight early-stage Celestial Immortals. Accompanying them were approximately fifty peak Golden Immortals and late-stage Golden Immortals.

Lin Chen had always felt that the Immortal Palace seemed rather desolate, like a faded flower or a setting sun. However, it was only at this moment that Lin Chen truly felt the power and majesty of the Immortal Palace.

Cao Hechuan was merely the first chief guard of the Immortal Palace, and he had even left his post long ago. Yet, he only sent a few letters, which attracted so many powerful figures. What if it had been Domain Lord Yao Xiong who spoke?

What a spectacular sight it will be!

Although Lin Chen had previously analyzed the overall situation for Yao Xuanji, it now seemed that the power of the Immortal Palace had deeply penetrated people's hearts. Although the Heavenly Dao Alliance had many powerful figures, such as the Three Kings, Four Ghosts, Five Wanderers, and Ten Blood Envoys, all of whom were undoubtedly Heavenly Immortal level experts, the Immortal Palace still held an absolute advantage overall.

The advantage is mine!

Yao Xuanji attaches great importance to this operation. It is an opportunity for the Immortal Palace to flex its muscles, and also an opportunity to investigate the identity of the White-Clad Blood Envoy of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. If all goes well, they can follow the clues and find out more members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Yao Xuanji dispatched Cao Hechuan to oversee the operation, along with a formidable lineup of eight Celestial Immortals: one late-stage Celestial Immortal, three mid-stage Celestial Immortals, and three early-stage Celestial Immortals. In addition to the Celestial Immortals, there were also thirty Golden Immortals, a lineup that left Lin Chen deeply impressed.

As expected of a celestial palace!
While this strength might not be enough to overwhelm top-tier forces like the Ten Great Immortal Sects, it is more than sufficient to deal with a first-rate force like the Demon Palace.

Inside the main hall, Yao Xuanji sat high on the throne of the domain lord, his expression cold and solemn.

"Everyone is already aware of the situation. The team leader for this operation is Cao Hechuan, and the deputy leader is Lin Chen..."

Cao Hechuan and Lin Chen remained calm; they had known about this for a long time and naturally wouldn't react much.

It was Lin Chen who suggested that Cao Hechuan be the team leader. Originally, Yao Xuanji wanted Lin Chen to be the team leader directly, but Lin Chen felt that this was not a good idea.

With Cao Hechuan as captain, his strength and prestige were enough to convince everyone. Although it felt a bit like nepotism to be his deputy, there wouldn't be much resistance to him being the deputy.

Lin Chen didn't necessarily want to make a big splash; he just wanted to get things done while broadening his horizons.

Ultimately, Lin Chen had been in the Immortal Realm for less than ten years and was still very unfamiliar with this world.

The battle between the Celestial Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance is a top-tier clash in the Celestial Realm. Since we are in the middle of such a large-scale conflict and there is no way to avoid it, we might as well take the initiative to participate. Perhaps there will be more opportunities.

"Lin Chen?"

"Who is this person? I've never heard of him before."

"He looks very young. There's no such person in the Immortal Palace. Which sect does he belong to?"

Yao Xuanji and the others expressed their doubts and surprise before speaking up: "Lin Chen is not a native of the Immortal Realm. He comes from the Desolate Realm, one of the lower realms. He is the Human Emperor of the Desolate Realm. Ten thousand years ago, I was harmed by Wei Jiao and my body was suppressed in various places in the Desolate Realm. It was Lin Chen who saved me and helped me deal with Wei Jiao, which finally allowed me to be resurrected and return to the Immortal Realm."

"A few days ago, I went to the Cloud Sky Continent and was ambushed by Wei Jiao and her men. It was Lin Chen who once again stepped in and saved our lives, thwarting Wei Jiao's conspiracy once again. Not only that, Lin Chen and Wei Jiao have already fought several times, and several of Wei Jiao's Celestial Immortals have died at Lin Chen's hands. So, although his strength may not be as good as yours, he is definitely qualified."
