The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1832 Putting yourself in their shoes, could you tolerate this?

Inside the large tent, the Azure Dragon King sat on a wide chair in the center, sizing up Lin Chen.

The Azure Dragon King had shoulder-length white hair, a square face, and long, narrow eyes that were as deep as a still pool, as if they possessed the power to see into people's hearts.

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Lin Chen, Special Envoy of the Immortal Palace, greets the Clan Chief!"

The Azure Dragon King smiled and rose, extending his hand warmly, saying, "Special Envoy Lin, the Dragon Clan welcomes you. Please have a seat!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sat down as host and guest, and the Azure Dragon King asked, "Special Envoy Lin, what brings you to our Dragon Clan this time?"

Lin Chen got straight to the point: "I want to talk to the clan leader about the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

The Azure Dragon King nodded frankly: "We do have trade dealings with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but it is limited to trade relations only. We have not formed an alliance."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If the Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Dao Alliance had formed an alliance, I wouldn't have dared to come alone."

The Azure Dragon King smiled and said, "It's good that you understand, Envoy Lin."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I need information about the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

The Azure Dragon King smiled and said, "Although we are not allies with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, we are still in a cooperative relationship. If we give their information to the Immortal Palace, wouldn't that be betraying our trading partners?"

Lin Chen replied, "The clan leader must be well aware of the purpose of those prisoners traded between the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Dragon Clan. From the perspective of our Immortal Palace, you are aiding and abetting the enemy, aren't you?"

The Azure Dragon King's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice, "Does our dragon race have to report to your celestial palace whenever we make a deal with someone?"

As he concealed his aura, a tremendous dragon's might emanated from him, instilling in people a trembling urge to immediately kneel and submit.

Lin Chen's sword intent surged forth, resisting the terrifying dragon's might.

"The Dragon Clan has always been detached from the world and not subject to the control of the Celestial Palace, which has allowed them to do as they please. However, this is on the premise that the Dragon Clan does not harm the Celestial Palace. Now that the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Celestial Palace are enemies and fighting to the death, you are still trading with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, sending them a large number of powerful prisoners to turn them into a slave army to fight against the Celestial Palace. Do you think such behavior can still be considered neutral?"

The Azure Dragon King coldly replied, "What if I don't provide the Heavenly Dao Alliance with the information and insist on continuing the transaction?"

Lin Chen spread his hands: "Then I'll turn around and leave, and I won't come back. As for the clan leader, you should pray that the final victor is the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Otherwise, the day the Heavenly Dao Alliance is completely wiped out may be the day the Immortal Palace army besieges the Dragon Clan City!"

Azure light shot out from the Azure Dragon King's eyes like sharp blades, almost tangible, and the terrifying pressure intensified once more: "Are you threatening me?" Lin Chen calmly replied: "I am stating a fact. Suppose you are currently engaged in a life-or-death battle with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but the Immortal Palace is secretly supporting the Heavenly Dao Alliance from behind. After you defeat the Heavenly Dao Alliance, wouldn't you seek revenge against the Immortal Palace?"

The Azure Dragon King frowned; he couldn't refute Lin Chen's words.

Yes, if it were him, he would definitely make the same choice.

How can we tolerate this?

Even if you endure it, it's only for now; you can settle the score later!

The Azure Dragon King was silent for a few seconds: "But the Heavenly Alliance possesses things that can help the Dragon Clan develop..."

Lin Chen's tone remained calm: "Reason is reason, and strength is strength. If the clan leader believes that the Dragon Clan has the strength to fully confront the Immortal Palace, then you can completely disregard what I say and continue to do as you please."

Do the dragons have the strength to fight against the Celestial Palace?
They may have the strength to fight back, but they have absolutely no chance of winning!
The Celestial Palace rules over seven continents, and none dare disobey it, while the Dragon Clan only occupies one-third of the Dragon Spirit Continent. In terms of numbers and strength, they are clearly no match for the Celestial Palace.

Two-thirds of the human cultivators on the Dragon Spirit Continent have been fighting the dragons back and forth for tens of thousands of years. If the Immortal Palace intervenes, how long can the dragons hold out?
This is the source of Lin Chen's confidence in standing here.

The Azure Dragon King's eyes were filled with anger, but he did not lash out.

He could kill the kid in front of him, and then what?

Break with the Celestial Palace?
Intervene in the great battle between the Celestial Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance?
Lin Chen looked at the silent Azure Dragon King and calmly continued, "As far as I know, there are considerable conflicts between the various branches of the Dragon Clan. They live independently and no one can control anyone else. In other words, cooperating with the Heavenly Dao Alliance is the Azure Dragon Clan's idea. Do the other clans agree? If it triggers even greater trouble, how will they view the Azure Dragon Clan?"

The Azure Dragon King coldly replied, "Can you represent the attitude of the Celestial Palace?"

Lin Chen calmly took out the Immortal Palace Token, infused it with spiritual power, and the image of Yao Xuanji sitting high in the main hall immediately appeared in the air.

The Azure Dragon King looked slightly surprised: "This Celestial Palace Token of yours seems to be somewhat different from the Celestial Palace Tokens I've seen before?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Other people's Immortal Palace Tokens are standardized, but mine is made and authorized by the Domain Lord himself. Other Immortal Palace envoys may not be able to make decisions on some important matters, but I can."

The Azure Dragon King frowned, a serious look appearing in his eyes: "Why can't others do it, but you can?"
