The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2151 Was it just my imagination?

The red light emanating from Xiao Shubo was deep red, while the red light emanating from Lin Chen was light red. As the red light continued to transfer from Xiao Shubo to Lin Chen, the red color on Lin Chen's body gradually deepened.

When the red light emanating from the two people was almost identical, Xiao Shubo released his hands.

The red light emanating from the two individuals instantly receded back into their bodies, disappearing without a trace.

Lin Chen looked down and asked, "What's this?"

"Borrowing transport".

Xiao Shubo replied, "People with strong destiny can use special means of borrowing luck to lend their luck to others. At this moment, you and I are both people with strong luck."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "This shouldn't be permanent, right?"

Xiao Shubo nodded: "The invisible luck on my body is generated by a strong destiny, and it has a source. After the luck is consumed, it will be replenished over time. However, the luck I lend you is like water without roots. Once it is consumed, it cannot be replenished. Therefore, as the luck is consumed, it will eventually vanish."

"I can't permanently transfer my luck to you, so I'll use this trick in the hope that it will be of some help to you."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up with joy: "Thank you for the gift, I really like it... Will it dissipate with time, or with the good fortune that follows?"

Xiao Shubo replied, "During the period of borrowing luck, your luck will improve, but as lucky events occur, your luck will also be consumed. The luck I lent you will eventually be completely used up."

"I'm not sure how long it will last, but I believe it will bring you some good luck and hopefully help you leave the Heavenly River Secret Realm safely."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Am I now a chosen one of destiny?"

"Yes."

Xiao Shubo's face was slightly pale, but his smile was bright: "You are now the chosen one."

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you. After I finish dealing with the matters of the Three Saints Sect, I will settle down in the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, probably near the Azure God Sect. We'll meet again someday!"

Xiao Shubo bowed and saw them off, saying, "See you again if fate allows!"

Lin Chen said no more, took a step, and instantly disappeared from Xiao Shubo's sight.

"Let's go see what the situation is like at the Three Saints Sect now."

Following the guidance of the mark left by Sister Qi, Lin Chen traveled forward and soon found the place where the Three Saints Sect was located.

There were about twenty members of the Three Saints Sect who entered the underground chamber, but now only seven or eight remain, and almost all of them are injured.

The leader, Fu Zongjing, a cultivator at the third level of the Profound Realm, lay on a smooth, flat stone. His face was pale, his body was covered in blood, and his breathing was disordered, indicating that he was seriously injured.

Originally, the team included Liu Chong, who had broken through the Illusion Realm, Zhang Wu, who had reached the Heavenly Origin Realm, and He Qunshu. Now, Zhang Wu is nowhere to be seen, and it seems that he has most likely perished in this chaotic battle.

In a terrifying battle at the level of a Great Luo Immortal, it's perfectly normal for several Great Luo Profound Immortals to die.

Even if Yu Shoudao, the sect leader of the Three Saints Sect, came, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would leave alive.

"Fu Zongjing seems to be seriously injured. The team leaders are now Liu Chong, who is at the Breaking Illusion Realm, and He Qunshu, who is at the Heavenly Origin Realm. What should we do?"

Nangong Ye said in a deep voice, "I can deal with Liu Chong, but it will be difficult to kill him. I think the most important issue is to find out the extent of Fu Zongjing's injuries. If he can still fight, we have no chance of winning."

Lin Chen pondered for a while: "The Linglong Pagoda can conceal all auras, making it difficult for the other party to detect us. We'll just follow them and look for an opportunity to strike. I don't believe they've all been together all along!" Nangong Ye nodded: "Yes, as long as they separate, we can defeat them one by one."

Lin Chen nodded: "We're not in a hurry, let's just follow along!"

In the valley, Liu Chong looked at the seriously injured Fu Zongjing with a rather grim expression.

This time we've suffered a huge loss!
More than a dozen Pegasus Knights died, Zhang Wu died, and the leader Fu Zongjing was seriously injured. The losses were heavy. However, what was most unacceptable was that they fought such a battle in a muddle and gained nothing!

There were no cultivation techniques, inheritances, or treasures!

The War King self-destructed, and the Carefree Dragon Lord chased after the Qin Emperor without a trace. Most of the remaining people died from their self-destruction, and a few escaped to an unknown location.

The tomb was destroyed; all that remained was a huge pit, nothing was left.

As he was pondering, Liu Chong suddenly seemed to sense something, his figure flickered, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

The next second, Liu Chong appeared in the sky above a mountain peak, his eyes shining with golden light, his divine sense sweeping across a hundred miles in all directions like a fishing net.

Liu Chong frowned because he hadn't noticed anything amiss.

Is it my own illusion?

Why do I feel like I'm being watched?

Could it be a hallucination caused by excessive tension?
Unwilling to give up, Liu Chong searched again, but still found nothing.

Liu Chong flew back to the valley, and He Qunshu asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Chong shook his head: "It's nothing. How is Lao Fu's injury?"

"Very heavy, it has basically lost its ability to fight."

Liu Chong's face darkened: "Can it be cured?"

He Qunshu smiled wryly and said, "It can be cured, but recovery takes time. Even with enough medicine, he will need at least a month to recover."

Liu Chong frowned: "A month? The Heavenly River Secret Realm would have ended long ago."

He Qunshu spread his hands: "In the current situation, what's the point of exploring the secret realm? The Carefree Dragon Lord and the Qin Emperor have both run away. Where are we going to find them? Besides, even if we did find them, what could we do? The difference in strength is too great."

Liu Chong knew He Qunshu was telling the truth, but he was still unwilling to give up: "Are we just going to go back like this, all humiliated?"

He Qunshu said with a wry smile, "What else can we do? This time, we're not the only ones who are unlucky. The Five Directions Immortal Sect, led by a Grand Luo Immortal, also suffered countless casualties and heavy losses. Who would have thought that these people are still alive? Not only are they alive, but they have also summoned such a powerful army. If the Five Directions Immortal Sect hadn't joined forces and hadn't been prepared, we would probably have been the ones wiped out."

Speaking of this, Liu Chong was still shaken: "Fortunately, we won. Otherwise, all the adventurers would probably have become their prisoners and eventually their soldiers, fighting for the Qin Emperor. Once these people left the Heavenly River Secret Realm, probably no one in the entire Divine Fall Immortal Domain could escape."

He Qunshu nodded: "Qin Huang is a war maniac. Once he is resurrected and enters the Divine Fall Immortal Realm, who can stop him?"

Liu Chong nodded, remained silent for a long time, and finally said, "Since we can't continue, let's go and meet up with Zhao Xinyu, and then everyone can leave together!"

He Qunshu approved of Liu Chong's decision: "Alright, they haven't participated in any other adventures, so they must have mined a lot of Ink Immortal Crystals. This is at least some compensation..."
