The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1769 This is your reward, you deserve it.

Just as Lin Chen was secretly shocked, the middle-aged man seemed to realize something and his gaze fell on Lin Chen.

"I'm so glad to see you. I've said so much, but I forgot there's someone else who's been listening to all of this..."

The middle-aged man had a rather deep gaze, and although he wore a smile, the unspoken message behind his gentle words made Lin Chen curse inwardly.

You really are a dog!

What do you mean by forgetting there's someone else next to you?

You were just asking about my origins and my relationship with the Four Seas Immortal Lord, and now you're pretending not to know?

If the Immortal Lord of the Four Seas simply replies, "I also forgot he was beside me," then you can find a reason like "these things cannot be revealed" to eliminate me?
The Four Seas Immortal Lord did not turn around, and replied in a calm tone: "So what if you heard it? It's no big deal. Anyway, you're not a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, so what are you afraid of?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Since you say it's nothing, then it's nothing."

Lin Chen's heart nearly settled back into his stomach, and he was slightly surprised.

This middle-aged man isn't actually a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
He seemed to know so much about the Heavenly Dao Alliance that I assumed he was a high-ranking member, but it turns out he wasn't.
Lin Chen couldn't figure out the man's identity for a moment.

The Four Seas Immortal Lord seemed unwilling to discuss this further, and nodded his chin at Lin Chen beside him: "Hurry up and get him promoted, that'll settle things."

The middle-aged man chuckled, no longer making excuses, and stood up with a smile: "Alright, I have all the materials. Setting up an array won't take long. You guys have some tea here, I'll go get it ready and call you when I'm done."

The middle-aged man left the cave cleanly and efficiently. The Immortal Lord of the Four Seas turned his head and looked at Lin Chen: "Is there anything you want to say?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly: "Although I'm a little confused, you're making enemies of the Immortal Palace and revealing such secrets to my face. Aren't you afraid I'll betray you later?"

The Four Seas Immortal Lord stared at Lin Chen: "Can you do it?"

Although Lin Chen was certain that the Four Seas Immortal Lord wouldn't kill him, he still said decisively, "I will keep this a secret and remain silent. Do you need me to swear an oath?"

The Immortal Lord of the Four Seas shook his head slightly: "Even if you say it, it won't matter; it won't have much impact on me."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "From what you just said, it seems you don't want to be enemies with the Immortal Palace?"

The Immortal Lord of the Four Seas calmly replied, "I have no intention of making enemies of anyone."

Lin Chen added, "But when you're in the martial world, you're not in control of your own destiny?"

"When you're in the martial world, you're not in control of your own destiny?" The Four Seas Immortal Lord murmured, "That's quite true."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and then tentatively asked, "Senior Sister, judging from what the Mountain Lord said, it seems that you have a very special status in this Heavenly Dao Alliance and are very well taken care of by the Alliance Leader?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then finally chose a neutral term to avoid angering the Four Seas Immortal Lord.

The Four Seas Immortal Lord glanced at Lin Chen and replied indifferently, "This is not something you need to know or care about. Once the formation is set up, you can focus on your advancement. Once you have completed your advancement, my promise will be fulfilled, and you can leave."

Seeing that he couldn't find out the inner workings of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Lin Chen gave up decisively and instead inquired about the advancement: "Formation?"

The Immortal Lord of the Four Seas replied, "He is a formation master and can use formations to help you break through and advance."

Lin Chen was taken aback. Could setting up an array really advance someone from a terrestrial immortal to a true immortal?
Why had Lin Chen never heard of such a thing before?
Even in the Immortal Palace, even a senior like Cao Hechuan didn't have such methods, and had never even heard of them, yet this mountain lord was able to do it.

Who is this mountain lord?

He wasn't a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but he was acquainted with the Four Seas Immortal Lord, and he should also know the leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. He was very clear about the relationship between the leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Four Seas Immortal Lord...

Lin Chen suddenly remembered that the leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance was said to come from a higher immortal realm.

Advanced Immortal Realm!

Is it possible that the Four Seas Immortal Lords, the Heavenly Dao Alliance Leader, and the Ten Thousand Serpent Mountain Lord all came from a certain force in a higher immortal realm, and therefore they were familiar with each other?
These thoughts flashed through Lin Chen's mind like lightning, but on the surface, Lin Chen looked shocked: "A single formation can allow someone to break through from an Earth Immortal to a True Immortal, that's too amazing, doesn't that mean there are no bottlenecks?"

The Four Seas Immortal Lord replied, "This formation requires an extremely special material, which is very rare even in the higher immortal realms, so it is not something that just anyone can use. If he didn't owe me a favor, he would definitely not be willing to part with it."

"Of course, it's also because you're only an Earth Immortal, so the consumption is relatively small. If you were a Golden Immortal and wanted to break through to a Celestial Immortal, the consumption would be much greater. There aren't many sects in the entire Thunder Immortal Domain that can afford that kind of consumption."

The materials come from a high-level immortal realm!

The words of the Four Seas Immortal Lord proved Lin Chen's conjecture!

Lin Chen said gratefully, "Senior sister, thank you so much! If it weren't for your help, I don't know how long I would have been stuck at this bottleneck!"

The Immortal Lord of the Four Seas said calmly, "No need to thank me, this is your reward, it's what you deserve!"
