The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1824 Sparring among peers? That's a bit unfair!
"The Ancestral Dragon's body has perished, leaving only its primordial spirit. There are special laws in the Holy Land that allow its primordial spirit to live forever. Once it leaves, the primordial spirit will fall into the rules of the world, constantly depleting and eventually dissipating."

Meng Shuyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course, I've also heard other rumors, namely that the Holy Land is actually the place where the Ancestral Dragon is imprisoned. Since it's called imprisonment, it's natural that they don't want him to come out."

Imprisoning the Ancestral Dragon?

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the demon ancestor who suddenly appeared in the Wilderness Realm. She had been silent for ten thousand years, waiting for an opportunity to possess another body and be reborn. Once she was reborn, the demon race immediately fell into a delicate state.

Should we listen to the Demon Emperor or the Demon Ancestor?

If the Ancestral Dragon reappears and is resurrected, then who will the Dragon Clan listen to?
Below the Ancestral Dragon are the patriarchs of various branch dragon clans. They are powerful figures in their respective regions. If the Ancestral Dragon were to return, wouldn't these patriarchs also have to listen to him?

"How did the Dragon Clan's sacred land come into being?"

Meng Shuyu shook her head: "I don't know."

Lin Chen was immediately quite curious: "Your dragon clan's sacred ground, as a member of the dragon clan, and even a member of the Azure Dragon Palace, how come you don't know about it?"

Meng Shuyu hesitated for a moment before replying, "Back then, the Ancestral Dragon knew his lifespan was limited, so he sealed off heaven and earth, concealed the secrets of heaven, and changed the rules of the world, allowing himself to live in the Holy Land forever. Every so often, the Ancestral Dragon would answer the call of the Dragon Clan, open the Holy Land, meet the most outstanding descendants of the Dragon Clan, test them, and reward the excellent ones..."

Looking at Meng Shuyu's expression, Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "You just said you didn't know, which means that everything you just said is what everyone else thinks, but not what you think, and you even have serious doubts about it?"

Meng Shuyu's eyes widened slightly in surprise, seemingly not expecting Lin Chen's reaction to be so quick, hitting the nail on the head.

She had just spoken without thinking, and was caught off guard, so she said a few extra words. Now she suddenly realized that Lin Chen was a human, and it was obviously inappropriate for her to say these things in front of him.

"How old am I, and how old is the Ancestral Dragon? They've spanned so long in the river of time, how would I know the truth? I'm just someone who likes to overthink things. Alright, stop asking, it has nothing to do with you anyway."

Lin Chen chuckled and said no more.

He could tell that Meng Shuyu herself had some long-hidden doubts in her heart, otherwise she would not have subconsciously said such things. Perhaps it was because she had never dared to tell these things to any dragon clan member, and had been holding them in for too long, so she just blurted them out today.

Lin Chen was curious, but not particularly concerned.

As Meng Shuyu said, what does it have to do with me?

I'm not a dragon, so what does it matter to me whether the Ancestral Dragon exists or not, or whether it's resurrected or not?

He simply wanted to talk to the Azure Dragon Clan Chief about the Heavenly Dao Alliance to see if he could get more information about the Heavenly Dao Alliance or even the Soul Separation Sect.

As a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, he should at least fulfill his duties. Lin Chen was the only human on the entire ship, and not wanting to cause trouble, he stayed in his room, meditating and cultivating to consolidate his realm.

However, just because Lin Chen doesn't want to provoke anyone doesn't mean that others don't want to provoke him.

"dong dong dong"

The knocking startled Lin Chen from his meditation. He got up, opened the door, and saw seven or eight people standing there. The one leading them was Meng Ziyuan, whom he had met once before.

Lin Chen calmly asked, "Fellow Daoist Meng, is there something you need from me?"

Meng Ziyuan looked coldly at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with a strong sense of provocation: "Having nothing better to do, I thought that since you are a special envoy of the Immortal Palace, you must be very powerful, so I wanted to come and have a match with you."

Discuss?

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "I am just a special envoy from the Immortal Palace. My strength is average and I can't compare to the prospective young patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan. Let's skip this sparring."

Meng Ziyuan sneered: "When did the Immortal Palace become so cowardly that it doesn't even dare to participate in a sparring match? Don't worry, we will compete with you based on our strength at the same level, and we won't bully you."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "This is not good, this is not good, this is a bit bullying."

Meng Ziyuan laughed loudly: "You don't even dare to compare with someone of the same realm. What qualifications do you have to represent the Immortal Palace, let alone want to see our clan leader? You should just go back now."

The surrounding dragons also burst into wild laughter, loudly mocking them.

"The Celestial Palace is truly declining day by day. If this were before, the Celestial Palace envoy would probably have attacked us immediately if we had said this. It's amazing that we've managed to hold back..."

"What can we do if we don't hold back? We can't beat him in a fight. Didn't you hear him say that we're bullying him too much in a duel between people of the same realm? He's already said that. What else can you expect? Let's disperse."

"Haha, I've heard that the Immortal Palace is not what it used to be. Seeing it today, I can see for myself. No wonder the Heavenly Dao Alliance wants to take its place."

Lin Chen looked at the noisy and arrogant crowd with a calm expression, showing no anger whatsoever, and even smiled.

"I think you've misunderstood. I didn't mean you bullied me, but rather that in the duel between those of equal skill level, I really did bully you a bit..."
