The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2169 Encirclement and Reinforcement, forcing you out!
The Three Saints Sect, the Venerable One's Court.

All the venerable ones of the Three Saints Sect gathered together to discuss the important matters concerning the sect recently.

Apart from Nangong Ye, who betrayed the Three Saints Sect, all twelve other members of the Venerable Academy were present. However, there was now one more non-Great Luo Venerable member, Zhang Wu, who died on his way to the Heavenly River Secret Realm.

Among the twelve Venerables, Mo Yunsen, Zuo Guhong, and Zhang Wu are now all below the Great Luo level. Sitting in their positions, they are silent and appear rather lonely.

The three of them were originally only at the Heavenly Origin Realm, so they didn't have much say, let alone now.

As is customary, the meeting drew to a close after addressing several major issues that the sect had recently faced.

Yu Shoudao's gaze swept over everyone: "Still no news from Lin Chen and the others?"

Everyone immediately perked up, and even Zuo Guhong and the others who had been silent all looked up and focused their attention.

Lei Hong shook his head: "After the Tianhe Secret Realm ended, he disappeared again. No one has seen any trace of him. I even wonder if he is still in the Divine Fall Immortal Realm. Maybe he will give us a false alarm and then run away."

Fu Zongjing said casually, "A year is just a short time for cultivators. Since he went to the Heavenly River Secret Realm and made such a big fuss, he might have gained something. He might be hiding somewhere to cultivate and improve his strength."

Yu Shoudao nodded, agreeing with Fu Zongjing's words. Indeed, a year might be a bit long for ordinary people, but for cultivators, especially powerful immortals, it's just a blink of an eye.

When the Great Luo Venerable goes into seclusion, it can easily last for a hundred years.

“This guy is hiding and not showing himself, which is a problem. That traitor Nangong Ye stole the Reincarnation Scripture Stele. If it drags on for too long, the stele will fall into someone else’s hands, and it will be troublesome to get it back.”

Fu Zongjing was also a little puzzled. Lin Chen had said before that he would contact him every three to five months, but now a year had passed and there was still no word.

Could it be true, as he said, that he has gone off to cultivate himself?

However, considering that he had obtained so many Ink Immortal Crystals from Zhao Xinyu, it was reasonable for him to quietly cultivate somewhere.

wait.

As long as the sect leader doesn't mention conquering the Thunder Immortal Realm, they can pretend nothing happened. This is Lin Chen's only request.

Thinking of Lin Chen, Fu Zongjing's thoughts were also somewhat strange.

He said that if Yu Shoudao was killed, he would make himself the sect leader of the Three Saints Sect!
This promise was still quite tempting to him. After all, under normal circumstances, as long as Yu Shoudao was around, it would never be his turn. Even if Yu Shoudao was gone, there was still Lei Hong.

Although Yu Shoudao mentioned Lin Chen briefly, he didn't have any specific solutions, so he let it go.

"Meeting adjourned!" Just as everyone was leaving the meeting room, Fu Zongjing suddenly had a thought and took out his communication stone, where a message lay quietly.

Fu Zongjing's pupils contracted slightly. He wouldn't come if he didn't say so, but he did come when he did. This guy is really punctual.

Fu Zongjing returned to his cave as if nothing had happened. After a short while, he left the sect and headed northwest.

Soon, Fu Zongjing met Lin Chen on a mountain peak.

Fu Zongjing's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he was slightly startled. This man's aura had improved a lot compared to before.

"Mr. Lin!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Have you been waiting long?"

Fu Zongjing smiled and said, "No, not really. I guessed before that you had gone to cultivate, and now that I see you, you have improved a lot. May I ask what realm you are in now?"

"Late stage of Celestial Immortal realm".

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I've advanced two levels. I originally wanted to continue cultivating to the Great Perfection, but I was afraid you'd be getting impatient, so I put it aside for now and came over first."

Fu Zongjing was taken aback. In just one year, he had gone from the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm to the late stage. Even with the Ink Immortal Crystal, the speed of his advancement was terrifying.

Fu Zongjing cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lin. It seems that it won't be long before you reach the Great Luo realm."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's still early. What's the situation with the Three Saints Sect right now?"

"Rest and recuperate."

Fu Zongjing replied, "During this period, we lost one Illusion Breaking Realm cultivator, three Heavenly Origin Realm cultivators, and over a hundred Heavenly Horse Knights, significantly reducing our strength. Therefore, we've been relatively quiet this year, focusing on healing and recuperation..."

Lin Chen asked, "Has Yu Shoudao made no move against me?"

Fu Zongjing shook his head: "If he can't find you, no matter what he does, it's useless. I think he's a bit helpless now. He probably knows in his heart that the chances of finding you are slim, but he can't give up and can't lose face. So the situation is just stuck like this."

After a pause, Fu Zongjing added, "However, I did hear him say privately that he's planning to send troops to the Thunder Immortal Realm again in a large-scale operation. He guesses that you must be personally or have someone else keeping an eye on the Three Saints Sect. The Three Saints Sect's actions definitely won't escape your notice, and perhaps they can force you to come out..."
