The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1797 Shall we also take a bunch of hostages?
When Zhao Yuan met Lin Chen outdoors, Liu Qingshan solemnly led Lin Chen to the council hall inside the sect's main hall, and his attitude was warm and respectful!
Inside the council hall, Junshan, the chairman of the Hundred Tribulations Sect, was already waiting.

Lin Chen knew very well that they were not paying homage to him, but to the Celestial Palace.

Even if the Immortal Palace no longer intervenes, even if Yao Xiong disappears, it is still the Immortal Palace, the highest order in the entire Immortal Realm.

As a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, if they don't give me face, then they are disrespecting the Celestial Palace.

At this critical juncture, when the Celestial Palace is about to re-establish its authority, if they do that, they might very well become the chicken used as a warning to others.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Chen began to listen to the detailed account of the entire incident.

Due to geographical reasons, the Hundred Tribulations Sect and a branch tribe of the Azure Dragon Clan in the north are relatively close to each other. As a result, there are certain conflicts in terms of territory, interests and other aspects, and the two sides often have friction.

Some time ago, the Hundred Tribulations Sect discovered a spiritual vein in the continuous mountain range to the north. It was a gaseous spiritual vein of medium quality and quite large quantity.

A spiritual vein is naturally of great importance to a sect. The Hundred Tribulations Sect was overjoyed and secretly made modifications to it, sending promising disciples to cultivate in the spiritual vein to improve their strength.

Although Bai Mo has only been a member of the sect for a short time, the fact that he was able to ascend to immortality from the barren wilderness where spiritual energy was scarce means that he is a very promising seed for cultivation. Not to mention that Bai Mo has such high comprehension, with thousands of cultivation techniques and his own creation of the Amazing Cicada Technique, he can be considered a peerless genius. The Hundred Tribulations Sect also values ​​Bai Mo highly and directly accepted him into their inner sect.

Among the disciples who went to cultivate in the spiritual vein this time was Bai Mo. At the same time, they also sent powerful experts from their sect to guard it. However, somehow, the news of the spiritual vein was leaked and was learned by the Azure Dragon Tribe in the north.

The dragon race and the human race have always been enemies, fighting each other for years. Now, for the sake of the spiritual vein, they will naturally not let it go.

The Azure Dragon branch tribes launched a joint attack on the spiritual vein, killing two people, seriously injuring several others, and capturing all the Hundred Tribulations Sect disciples who were cultivating within the spiritual vein.

This group of disciples are all highly valued and promising disciples by the sect, and the Hundred Tribulations Sect also values ​​them highly. However, due to the fear of harming the sect, they dare not start a large-scale battle for the time being. They are currently negotiating with the Azure Dragon Tribe, hoping to safely rescue the disciples of the sect.

How many people were captured in total?

Liu Qingshan replied, "Eighteen people, fifteen of whom are disciples, and three are our fellow disciples."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "How are the negotiations going?" Liu Qingshan sighed, "Not good. They're very aggressive. Not only do they want us to withdraw from the spirit vein and promise not to have any further designs on it, but they also want to compensate us with a large sum of spirit stones..."

Lin Chen offered no comment, but simply asked, "What is your sect's opinion?"

Liu Qingshan looked troubled: "Special Envoy Lin, we are also in a difficult position. The battle with the Dragon Clan has never stopped. We are enemies. We discovered, modified and developed the spiritual veins. They should belong to us. Now they are asking us to give up the spiritual veins. This is completely unreasonable."

“I understand that cultivators don’t care about reason but about strength. If our Hundred Tribulations Sect has no fighting power and can only swallow our anger, then I’ll accept it. But we are clearly no weaker than them, so why should we give in?”

"Not to mention that this time they launched a surprise attack on us, killed two of my junior brothers, and captured our people. This is already a blood feud. If we choose to back down, wouldn't that be admitting that we are inferior to them and surrendering? Would my Hundred Tribulations Sect still have any face left?"

Zong Chairman Junshan spoke sincerely: "Special Envoy Lin, Bai Mo is a junior we value highly. Although he has only been a member of the Hundred Tribulations Sect for a short time, his talent for cultivation has already been demonstrated. Moreover, his talent for combat is even stronger. He can learn any technique in no time and can adapt and integrate it. He is a key person we are cultivating."

“If there were any chance, we would definitely want to save him, but this matter concerns the dignity of our sect, this matter…”

Lin Chen said, "They launched a surprise attack and captured our people, showing no sportsmanship. Since that's the case, we can certainly repay them in kind..."

Xi Junshan was slightly startled: "Special Envoy Lin, what do you mean?"

Lin Chen replied, "They took us hostages, trying to force us to submit. We are hesitant to act, having the strength but not daring to start a war. So why not try a different approach? Let's find a way to launch a surprise attack on them and take some important hostages. That way, we can have normal negotiations and not be completely controlled by them."

Xi Junshan's eyes lit up: "We actually had the same idea, but we were afraid that if the operation failed, things would get even worse..."

Lin Chen was originally worried about Bai Mo's safety and would put pressure on the Hundred Tribulations Sect to make him agree to the Azure Dragon Tribe's demands. However, he did not expect that Lin Chen would not mention this at all and would instead say that he wanted to attack the Azure Dragon Tribe and take their hostages.

This is a very radical act!

Regardless, Xi Junshan breathed a sigh of relief. He had told the truth. He also wanted to save his disciples, but if he trampled on the dignity of a sect for the sake of his disciples, who could withstand it if someone captured a Hundred Tribulations Sect disciple and did the same thing again?
