The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1787 What if I want to learn the Soul Separation Technique?
"Special Envoy Lin, our Soul Separation Sect has always lived in seclusion. How did you find this place?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Immortal Palace naturally has its own methods."

Seeing that Lin Chen refused to explain, Ouyang Ye probed, "My sect's disciple just returned from shopping. Did you follow him here?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Elder Ouyang, how I got here is not important, there is no need to ask."

Helpless, Ouyang Ye could only ask, "What brings Special Envoy Lin here today?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Elder Ouyang, there's no need to worry. I'm here today to discuss a deal with the Li Hun Sect."

Ouyang Ye pressed further, "What kind of business?"

Lin Chen looked around and laughed, "Now that we're on the territory of the Soul Separation Sect, can't we even have a cup of tea?"

Ouyang Ye hesitated for a moment, then turned around and waved his hand: "Special Envoy Lin, please!"

Ouyang Ye led the way and flew into the depths of the canyon. When they passed an inconspicuous cliff, he took out a token, and a golden light from the token was projected into the cliff.

The cliff suddenly collapsed like clouds and mist, revealing a wide passage.

This cliff is not a real object, but an illusion array, blending into the vast expanse of cliffs, attracting no attention at all. Even if you stand right in front of it, without touching it, it is difficult to tell that it is fake.

Following the passage downwards for several kilometers, a breathtaking view suddenly opened up before us.

What appeared before Lin Chen was a huge underground city. The cave was well-lit, with stone houses standing in rows, stretching for a long time. At first glance, it was no different from a city on the surface.

"What a magnificent underground city!"

Lin Chen sighed, "Judging from this scale, the number of disciples in the Soul Separation Sect must be quite large."

Ouyang Ye replied, "Not many, it's just that people like to live in more spacious places, so there seem to be a lot of houses."

Lin Chen looked up at the multiple light sources in the sky that resembled the sun, and asked curiously, "Since everything here is no different from the land, why doesn't the Soul Separation Sect live directly on the ground?"

Ouyang Ye calmly replied, "Our Soul Separation Sect dislikes fighting. We hide underground simply for peace and quiet. We have been working hard to conceal our sect's location, and we ask Envoy Lin to keep it a secret for us."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I am not a talkative person, Elder Ouyang, please rest assured."

Ouyang Ye led Lin Chen through the city, heading towards the largest palace in the center.

Lin Chen looked around, comparing the surrounding situation with what the man who had escaped from here had said. Soon, Lin Chen roughly understood the layout of the entire underground city.

To the due east is the main hall of the Li Hun Sect, where the sect leader and many high-ranking members reside, and where sect affairs are handled on a daily basis.

To the right of the main hall is the experimental center of the Soul Separation Sect, where a large number of powerful members of the Soul Separation Sect conduct research on the soul and produce soul creatures. To the left is the residential area for the sect's experts.

Behind the residential area was the slave quarters, where slaves were trapped underground all day long, driving the great array for the Soul Separation Sect to ensure its normal operation.

Lin Chen was led into the main hall by Ouyang Ye, where several men and women were already waiting.

The middle-aged man leading the group politely cupped his hands in greeting: "Sect Master Gao Chen of the Soul Separation Sect welcomes Special Envoy Lin."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Gao Chen asked, "Special Envoy Lin said he wanted to discuss a business deal. May I ask what kind of deal it is?"

Lin Chen replied, "I have long heard that the Soul Separation Sect is skilled in soul techniques, and their soul separation technique is even more wondrous. The Palace Master has a friend whose father's body was possessed, and his soul was almost completely devoured..."

Lin Chen explained his father's situation in detail, and finally asked, "In this situation, is it possible to completely separate the two people using the Soul Separation Technique, making them two complete individuals?"

Gao Chen nodded: "Separation is not a problem. The dominant soul will definitely be complete after separation, but the soul that has been invaded and devoured will only have a soul imprint. Although it can be revived, the extent to which it can be revived depends on the specific situation. Just from what you said, I can't guarantee it."

Lin Chen was not surprised and immediately asked, "If we ask you to help separate these two souls, what kind of reward do we need to offer?"

Gao Chen confirmed, "Is this the very reason Special Envoy Lin came?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Gao Chen replied, "As long as you bring the person here and they are willing to cooperate, we can help for free. However, I must say first that we can help, but we cannot guarantee the outcome. After all, although we have some understanding of the mysteries of the soul, we dare not say that we understand them completely."

Lin Chen nodded in understanding, explaining that it was like a doctor promising to perform surgery but not being able to guarantee a successful recovery.

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "What if I want to learn the Soul Separation Technique?"

Gao Chen frowned and slowly shook his head: "The Soul Separation Technique is a closely guarded secret of our sect. I cannot agree to Envoy Lin's request."

Gao Chen's refusal was not unexpected to Lin Chen. He calmly said, "Is there absolutely no room for negotiation, or is there something to discuss, but the price is too high?"
