The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2268 Though there was resentment, there was no hatred.

The aged voice seemed surprised that Lin Chen spoke so frankly and frankly; he could tell that Lin Chen was telling the truth.

That's really what he thinks!
If he doesn't know his own origins, his own story, and doesn't understand everything clearly, he really will turn around and leave, staying away from danger.

Such a powerful figure was right before his eyes, which would be an immense opportunity for any cultivator. However, he turned around and left without asking any questions, which shows that the other party was determined and extremely cautious.

This kid has gone through so much along the way, and the fact that he's still alive is not only due to luck, but also inseparable from his own personality.

Not everyone can refuse such a seemingly direct opportunity to achieve instant success.

"Kid, you've got guts. Fine, I'll tell you anyway. If I need your help, you'll find out eventually."

The aged voice softened slightly as it began to tell its story: "My name is Crimson Calamity, and my true form is a Starry Sky Beast..."

"and many more."

Lin Chen interrupted the other person and asked in detail, "Starry Sky Beasts, what kind of existence are they, and how are they different from the other magical beasts I've seen?"

The aged voice didn't mind being interrupted by Lin Chen and explained in detail: "Strictly speaking, Starry Sky Beasts are considered demonic beasts, but they possess unique abilities. They can absorb the dark energy in the starry sky, transform it into demonic energy, and then use the demonic energy to nourish and strengthen themselves, forming a unique existence."

"The demonic energy transformed by the Starry Sky Beast will not cause backlash against itself, but the demonic energy it transforms and releases is enough to change the beasts of a world. If they continue to absorb demonic energy over a long period of time, they will grow wildly but at the same time lose their minds and become mad monsters that only know how to kill. That is why there is the special name 'demonic beast'."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "Does that mean that all the places with magical beasts are caused by you, just like you caused all the magical beasts in this world?"
Red Calamity replied, "Yes, but the number of our Starry Sky Beasts is not large, so the number of worlds we can influence is not large. The Demon Race is the mainstream of non-human cultivators, and the Beasts are just a small, unique, and mutated existence."

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the Western Prison of the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. Wasn't that a place rife with demonic energy and teeming with magical beasts? According to Chi Zai, the Western Prison was also changed because of the Starry Sky Magical Beasts.

Although it's hard to imagine a celestial beast changing a world, this is, after all, a world of cultivation. Immortals can destroy the heavens and the earth at will, and even wipe out the world with a wave of their hand. How could it be impossible for them to change a world?

Moreover, it's not something that can be done overnight by a Starry Sky Beast using demonic energy to change a world; it could take tens of thousands of years, or even longer. Such a long time is enough for a civilization to go from the primitive stage to the ultimate stage of science and then to self-destruction.

Lin Chen sighed, "The Starry Sky Beast is truly powerful. Why did that person suppress you here?"

Chi Zai sneered, "A few cultivators offended me, so I chased them all the way. Their sect members came to help, and I wiped out their entire sect. Since that sect belonged to his faction, he naturally had to stand up for them. We crossed star rivers and fought several battles, and finally here, he caught up with me and suppressed me with a single sword strike." Lin Chen asked curiously, "Since he had already defeated you, why didn't he just kill you?"

Chi Zai laughed loudly: "It's all just hypocrisy. He said that although I am guilty, it is not my fault, so my crime is not enough to warrant death. He said that it was not easy for me to grow to this point through cultivation, so he left me a way out. As long as I can escape from this sword, this matter will be over."

Lin Chen asked, "If you get out of trouble, do you plan to seek revenge on him?"

Chi Zai sneered, "Unless I can break through to the Saint Realm, what's the point of me going to him? Am I just going to get killed by him again? Although I mock him for being hypocritical, his strength is real. I can't afford to provoke him. The time he killed me was just my bad luck. In the Immortal Path, isn't it normal for the strong to prey on the weak?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Senior is quite open-minded."

Chizai spat, "You think you can drive yourself to your death? It's my fault for being no match for him. If I could advance to the Saint Realm, you'd see if I didn't find him and suppress him in some godforsaken place, letting him experience what I've been going through all this time..."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, senior, please continue your story."

"Haven't we already said that? What else is there to say?"

Chizai snorted coldly, his tone displeased: "A few ignorant brats, relying on the sect's treasure, tried to kidnap my child. I discovered them, so naturally I won't let them go. As for what happened later, they couldn't beat that person; they were simply outmatched. There's nothing more to say."

Lin Chen said "Oh," and then asked, "Is your child alright?"

"It's alright, I rescued him."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Chi Zai harbored resentment towards the sword's owner, but not much hatred.

Everyone has different perspectives, and it's already quite remarkable that the sword's owner spared Chizai's life.

"Alright, then, senior, how can I help you?"
