The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1786 Please, fellow Daoists of the Soul Separation Sect, show yourselves!
The man readily agreed.

Twenty thousand spirit stones, how long will it take to earn that?

It's just a leak of information; the client didn't ask for confidentiality. Why not make some spirit stones if we can't afford to?
Lin Chen settled down in Qiyue City with peace of mind.

Ten days later, Lin Chen received a message from that guy.

Lin Chen appeared at the pharmacy entrance immediately and went inside, pretending to be a customer.

Several customers were shopping in the store, and the shop assistant was busy behind the counter.

Lin Chen went up and casually bought a type of medicinal herb.

When no one was looking, the waiter gestured towards Lin Chen with his chin, and Lin Chen looked in the direction of his gesture.

Two middle-aged men were talking in a private room. One of them was dressed simply in black, while the other was wearing a long robe with the Wan Yao Ge logo on it. Judging from his appearance, he was probably the manager of Wan Yao Ge.

The man in black listened to the shopkeeper's words with a cold expression, remaining silent himself.

After recognizing the man in black, Lin Chen didn't linger and left the pharmacy directly.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the man in black came out of the store.

Lin Chen nodded to a man in blue in a corner, and the man in blue stood up and walked towards the man in black.

He swaggered up behind the man in black, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhou..."

The man in black turned his head and looked at the man warily, and the smile on the man's face immediately turned awkward.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were my friend. I mistook you for someone else. I'm so sorry..."

The man in black gave the man a wary look, remained silent, and turned to leave after confirming that the other man meant no harm.

After the man in black left, the man who made the move came to the entrance of an alley and handed Lin Chen a few strands of hair that he was holding in his hand.

Lin Chen handed 100,000 spirit stones to the man, who left happily.

This man was a master thief. Lin Chen had already found him a few days ago and offered him 100,000 spirit stones to take a hair from the target. It was a piece of cake for him.

Lin Chen carefully put away the few strands of hair, walked out of the alley, and followed the man in black in the crowd from a distance.

The man in black walked leisurely out of the city gate, and when he reached a deserted place, he threw out a small flying boat and sailed away.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry. After the person disappeared, he took out the tracking magic weapon, the Wind Cicada, which he had obtained by extorting money from the Mei Wang Sect in Qishan.

Lin Chen opened the Wind Cicada, put a hair into its belly, lit it, and then injected spiritual power to activate the array inside.

A faint light emanated from the wind cicada, its wings fluttered, and it took flight, heading forward.

Lin Chen controlled the Wind Cicada with one hand, using the Shrinking Earth Technique to chase after it into the desert, guided by the Wind Cicada. This chase covered more than a thousand miles.

The yellow sand is like a sea, and the scorching sun is like fire. When it falls on this desert, every grain of sand seems to turn into gold, and large swathes of sand shimmer with golden light.

Near a canyon, the cicada suddenly fell silent, and the light emanating from its body went out.

Lin Chen put away the Wind Cicada and looked around.

The area was covered in yellow sand, even this giant canyon was filled with it, and there was no trace of human presence. However, Lin Chen was certain that the Soul Separation Sect was located beneath the yellow sand below.

The man in black being tracked should be a disciple of the Soul Separation Sect. He was last seen in this area before disappearing without a trace.

If he were still outdoors, Feng Chan would have tracked him directly to his side. Now that Feng Chan has lost his target, the only explanation is that he entered the sect and was shielded by the sect's formation, which is why Feng Chan lost its ability to sense him.

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then canceled the Nascent Soul simulation effect, revealing his true immortal aura. He then hovered in mid-air, his voice like thunder, carrying far and wide.

"Lin Qing, a special envoy from the Celestial Palace, has come to visit the Soul Separation Sect. Fellow Daoists of the Soul Separation Sect are requested to appear before me!"

Since he is a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, his Nascent Soul strength is clearly not up to par.

The minimum strength of the Celestial Palace Guard is True Immortal. Since they are going to deal with the Soul Separation Sect as special envoys of the Celestial Palace, they must be of a suitable level.

Lin Chen's shout carried for miles around. He believed that even if the Soul Separation Sect was hidden underground, they would still be able to detect the movement on the surface.

They could definitely hear him, but Lin Chen wasn't sure if they would respond.

Lin Chen waited a few breaths, then repeated the process three times. After that, Lin Chen said nothing more and quietly hovered in mid-air, waiting.

Soon, Lin Chen keenly sensed that someone was secretly observing him.

Lin Chen remained calm and continued to wait.

Five minutes later, an old man flew over from a distance, hovered opposite Lin Chen, and looked Lin Chen up and down.

"Are you a special envoy from the Celestial Palace?"

Lin Chen took out the Immortal Palace Token, infused it with spiritual power, and proved his identity.

Lin Chen has four Immortal Palace Tokens, each corresponding to Lin Chen himself, and the Thousand Illusions Token representing his three appearances: old, middle-aged, and young.

This was arranged by Yao Xuanji so that he could appear as a special envoy of the Celestial Palace in any capacity.

Lin Chen smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes."

The old man cupped his hands in greeting: "Elder Ouyang Ye of the Soul Separation Sect greets Special Envoy Lin!"
