The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1784 The Slave Who Escaped

Nobody on the entire continent knows where the Soul Separation Sect is.

Would no disciple of the Soul Separation Sect be willing to earn ten million spirit stones?
Or perhaps they didn't see it?
If this doesn't work, how am I supposed to find the Soul Separation Sect?

Just as Lin Chen was getting anxious, the communication stone suddenly made a sound.

"Sir, we received a message from the Baiyuan City branch that might be of interest to you..."

Lin Chen asked expectantly, "Has someone accepted the mission?"

"Yes, but this person does not know the location of the Soul Separation Sect."

Lin Chen was immediately confused: "What's going on?"

"Although this person did not know the location of the Soul Separation Sect, he had entered the Soul Separation Sect and lived there for a period of time."

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Where is he?"

"He is currently at the Baiyuan City branch. If you need, sir, I can have my colleague keep him there until you arrive. Of course, it is also possible to have him come over, but you may need to pay some extra compensation."

Lin Chen answered crisply, "I'll go straight there."

This place is the City of Domain Gate, located on the edge of the continent, while the Golden Desert is in the middle of the continent, so he will inevitably leave this place and head to the middle of the continent.

"Okay, once you arrive in White Yuan City, go directly to the Adventurers' Guild branch and show your quest card."

After finding out the location of Baiyuan City, Lin Chen took a commercial airship to the city.

It's a bit slow, but safety comes first.

Lin Chen arrived in Baiyun City without incident. Then, with the help of the Adventurers' Branch, he met the man who claimed to have entered the Li Hun Sect.

The man was in his thirties and wore a metal mask, giving him a mysterious appearance.

The man sized up Lin Chen: "Are you looking for the Soul Separation Sect?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, it's me."

The man asked, "What do you want with the Soul Separation Sect?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Neither enemy nor friend. I have something I need their help with, but I can't find the location of the Soul Separation Sect, so I'm offering a reward."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the man's eyes: "I thought it was an enemy of the Soul Separation Sect."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you have a grudge against the Soul Separation Sect?" The man shook his head: "Yes and no. Actually, I'm also very curious about who is looking for the Soul Separation Sect, which is why I appeared."

Lin Chen nodded: "Tell me what you know, and I will give you a sufficient reward."

The man sighed: "I don't know the exact location of the Soul Separation Sect, but I'm sure it's in the desert..."

Lin Chen calmly retorted, "Golden Desert?"

The man's eyes widened in surprise: "You know?"

Lin Chen nodded: "That's all I know, but I've looked at the map. The Golden Light Desert is vast, and it won't be easy to find a hidden sect within it."

The man nodded: "It is indeed not easy. No, you can't find it at all, because the Soul Separation Sect is underground."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Underneath the desert, huh? I knew it. Tell me about your experiences; perhaps we can find some clues."

The man nodded, and without even asking how much the reward would be, he said directly, "When I was passing through the Golden Desert, I encountered bandits. I fought desperately to break through their encirclement, but I was so badly injured that I passed out in a canyon."

"When I woke up, I found that I was no longer in the canyon, but in an underground city. My wounds had been treated and I felt much better."

"I thought I had been kindly saved and was quite grateful. However, what I didn't expect was that they were not kindly saving me, but rather making me a slave in the dungeon."

"I was powerless to resist and could only live as a slave, helping them refine spiritual energy every day and maintain the underground array. About three years later, during a sect ceremony, I used a magic weapon I had made to evade the patrol and fled for my life. Then they discovered me and began to hunt me down."

"If it weren't for that massive sandstorm, I would definitely have died at their hands. But it was also because of that sandstorm that I completely lost my way in the desert and barely managed to escape."

Lin Chen asked, "Have you been a slave for the past three years?"

"Yes!"

The man's tone became somewhat agitated. He removed the mask from his face, revealing a brand on his forehead and face with the same pattern, resembling a flying bird.

“Every slave has this brand on their face. This brand was made by the special envoy. Unless I peel off my entire face, it cannot be removed. After I escaped, I was worried that the people of the Soul Separation Sect would find out who I was and kill me to silence me, so I have always worn a mask.”

Lin Chen asked, "According to you, the Soul Separation Sect is a very evil sect?"

The man's gaze was complex: "The people of the Soul Separation Sect are all madmen. They are most skilled in soul techniques and also love to study souls. Those slaves who couldn't hold on eventually became their experimental subjects, living a life worse than death."

"They also created all sorts of terrifying, incredibly powerful soul monsters. They used these soul monsters to guard their sects, and it's said they even sold them to outsiders at extremely high prices..."
