The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2154 The only problem is, we can't beat him!
What is your ultimate goal?

In response to Liu Chong's question, Lin Chen replied frankly, "At first, when I captured Nangong Ye, I hoped to use him as a hostage to get a promise from your Three Saints Sect that you would no longer invade the Thunder Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, you did not agree."

"Things have come to this point. I took away the Three Saints Sect's most treasured Reincarnation Scripture Stele and arrested so many of you. This is a slap in the face to the Three Saints Sect, or more accurately, a slap in the face to Yu Shoudao."

“Perhaps I can force Yu Shoudao to back down by using your lives as a condition, but Yu Shoudao’s desire to kill me will not disappear. So I thought, why not just destroy Yu Shoudao and take control of the Three Saints Sect?”

"If I take control of the Three Saints Sect, then naturally there will be no more Three Saints Sect invading the Thunder Immortal Realm. You can even help block other restless forces."

"This is my current thought, but my future is not in the Thunder Immortal Realm, nor in the Godfall Immortal Realm. After I settle things here, I will head to the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, where my family is waiting for me."

"Don't worry, even though your lives are in my hands, I can promise that when I leave, I won't force you to leave with me to be my henchmen or servants. You can still stay in the Three Saints Sect, as if none of this ever happened, and I won't make any excessive demands on you."

"The Three Saints Sect belongs to you. I hope it can become mine, but in the end it will still be left to you. If Yu Shoudao dies, Fu Zongjing, you are at the Xiangxuan Realm and have the highest strength, so you will become the new sect leader and lead everyone to continue moving forward."

Liu Chong said in a deep voice, "The sect leader is at the fifth level of the cultivation realm. All of us combined are no match for him. You think you can kill him with our help? That's simply impossible."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's all up to us. At least I'll set this goal first. If we really can't achieve it, we can always back down. As time goes by, things change, and we can naturally change accordingly. Who can say for sure what the future holds?"

After a pause, Lin Chen glanced at Liu Chong and the others, and smiled slightly: "In the beginning, could you have imagined that things would turn out like this? After all, in your eyes, I'm like a mouse being chased by a cat..."

“Everyone has their own path. If you choose to be loyal to the sect and Yu Shoudao, then I admire you as a man. I will give you a clean and decisive rebirth. Anyway, you will lose this memory after rebirth, and I am not afraid that you will betray us.”

"I must remind you that even if you all choose death, Zhao Xinyu will definitely return to the sect. At that time, I will know everything you do and say. The Three Saints Sect may still fall into my hands in the end, and so will you. In other words, you can be loyal to your own path, but your death may not change anything."

Lin Chen's voice was calm, without any intimidation or threats, just a simple statement, yet it put a lot of pressure on Liu Chong and the others.

Yes, you choose to die, but what about others?
If you were reborn and fell from your cultivation level, and others joined Lin Chen and swaggered back, fabricating a story, wouldn't you have been kept in the dark the whole time?

With these spies inside the sect, capturing Lin Chen and reclaiming the stone tablet would be a joke, wouldn't it?

On the contrary, with these inside agents, it would be too easy to harm other Grand Luo Venerables. Perhaps before long, all the Grand Luo Venerables in the entire Three Saints Sect, except for the sect leader, would either die and be reborn, or they would all submit to Lin Chen.

Will the sect leader ultimately win?

Hard!

Even if they don't fight the sect leader and collectively defect from the Three Saints Sect, it will inevitably lead to the division and decline of the Three Saints Sect.

He Qunshu was the first to make a decision: "If I had a choice, I would not want to fall back to a lower realm. After all, to return to the Great Luo realm, it takes more than just time; there are many other things involved. My talent is limited, and it's too difficult!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Welcome to the team. You made a wise choice." He Qunshu turned his head and looked at Liu Chong, saying: "Brother Chong, I'm sorry."

Liu Chong sighed: "Why are you apologizing to me? Everyone looks out for themselves. If ordinary people are like this, let alone those on the path of immortality. This path is not easy. After going through so much hardship to reach the Great Luo realm, who would want to fall back down?"

Liu Chong turned to look at Fu Zongjing, who was slumped on the ground: "Old Fu, what's your choice?"

Fu Zongjing smiled bitterly: "You're right. If your cultivation level drops drastically, you'll have to spend countless hours cultivating to recover, and you might not even be able to recover. Just thinking about it is terrifying. Who would want to go back to the old ways? Just give up."

Liu Chong seemed to secretly breathe a sigh of relief: "They surrendered?"

Fu Zongjing nodded: "Although I don't want to deal with the sect leader either, if I had to choose between his death and mine, I would definitely choose his death. Since things have come to this point, I should think more about myself. What do you think?"

After listening to Fu Zongjing's words, Liu Chong seemed to have resolved his inner conflict: "You're right, I really don't want to betray the sect or go against the sect leader, but I don't want to die either. Everyone has to be a little selfish!"

After a brief conversation, Fu Zongjing and the other two completed their mental preparation and ultimately all chose to surrender.

This result was not unexpected for Lin Chen. Who would die for someone else for no reason?
The path to immortality is one of solitude!

A sect is like a big tree, but when disaster strikes, the birds on the tree will still choose to fly away.

After Fu Zongjing and the other two offered their true souls and completed the ritual, Lin Chen felt a surge of joy.

The team has grown!

Not counting the Dark Ancestral Dragon, there are now seven Great Luo Venerables: Fu Zongjing in the Profound Realm, Nangong Ye and Liu Chong in the Illusion Breaking Realm, and Venerable Ziyun, Shu Zifeng, Zhao Xinyu, and He Qunshu in the Heavenly Origin Realm.

This level of strength is enough to establish a sect in the Divine Fall Immortal Realm, and even a sect with considerable status!
Since they were all on the same side, Lin Chen immediately took action to heal Fu Zongjing's injuries. After taking a few high-grade pills that were appropriate for the condition, Fu Zongjing's injuries improved significantly.

"What suggestions do you have for the road ahead?"

Lin Chen smiled and glanced around the tents: "You are most familiar with Yu Shoudao and know the Three Saints Sect best. Give me some advice on how I can defeat Yu Shoudao and take control of the Three Saints Sect?"

The crowd exchanged glances. Liu Chong hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Since you said you have no intention of changing the Three Saints Sect's power structure, then there's only one problem: how to defeat Yu Shoudao, because he's at the fifth level of the cultivation realm, and the difference in strength is too great."

"Besides, with Lao Fu around, it's easy to trick Lei Hong and the others. We can just use the same trick we used today. Lei Hong won't be on guard against Lao Fu after all. We can turn all of Lei Hong and the others into our own people, and then we can work together to deal with Yu Shoudao."

Liu Chong smiled wryly: "That's the only problem I mentioned. Even if we all joined forces, we still couldn't defeat him alone. This fight is hopeless..."
