The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2279 Senior, you won't renege on your debt, will you?

Ignoring the raging Chi Zai, Mu Tianjun turned his gaze back to Lin Chen: "The matter here is settled. We shall meet again if fate allows."

Lin Chen asked with some doubt, "Senior, we are complete strangers. Why are you willing to teach me the Way of Sword Talismans?"

Lin Chen was genuinely puzzled. He didn't know Mu Tianjun at all, so why was he so enthusiastic about teaching him?

Lin Chen believes that everything in this world has a cause and effect, and there is no such thing as love without a reason.

Taixu showed mercy to him because the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror belonged to an old friend of his, and he had brought it back from the mortal realm. But what about Mu Tianjun?

Lin Chen decided to get to the bottom of it.

Mu Tianjun smiled slightly: "Did Chizai tell you that you are the destined one he has been waiting for?"

Lin Chen nodded: "He did say that it was what you told him back then, senior, and that you supposedly calculated it?"

Mu Tianjun nodded: "Yes, everything has a cause and an effect. Today's cause will be tomorrow's effect. We will meet again. Teaching you something is just to prepare you for the future. You don't need to take it to heart. When the time comes, you will naturally understand."

Lin Chen didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

what is this?
Can you predict your future destiny?

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Senior, you said to prepare for the future, what are you preparing for?"

Mu Tianjun smiled and said, "Fate is mysterious and cannot be explained. In short, just study hard, you will definitely need it in the future."

Mu Tianjun didn't explain, and Lin Chen had no choice but to nod and agree: "I will definitely study hard and strive to master the way of sword talismans as soon as possible."

Regardless of whether Mu Tianjun's calculations are true or not, it is ultimately a good thing that Lin Chen is able to learn the Dao of Sword Talismans. As for the future, how much Lin Chen will have to pay for what happened today, that can only be discussed later.

Mu Tianjun nodded and stopped speaking. He cleanly and neatly disconnected the projection. The large cluster of floating sword talismans in the air then exploded like fireworks, turning into countless dazzling points of light that illuminated the entire dark underwater world.

With the help of the intense light, Lin Chen finally saw Chi Zai's appearance clearly.

It has four legs, its body is covered in scales, and its body shape is somewhat like a horse, but its head is like a snake. There is a vertical slit in its eye, and its eyes give people a cold and sinister feeling.

"Senior, are you preparing to set off for the Crimson Immortal Realm?" Crimson Calamity's body had shrunk considerably, but even so, it was still as majestic as a mountain. Standing at the bottom of the water, it resembled a great demon god of the abyss, exuding an aura that made people's hearts tremble with fear.

"Yes, that despicable Mu Tianjun! He actually tried to lure me with the Liunian Gold Mine. He knows perfectly well that our Starry Sky Beast Clan has zero resistance to the Liunian Gold Mine. Once I get the Liunian Gold Mine, I'll run away. I don't believe he can catch me!"

Lin Chen did not intervene in the feud between Chi Zai and Mu Tianjun, but simply smiled and said, "Now that you are free, shouldn't you pay the rest of your payment?"

Red Calamity feigned ignorance: "What reward? Didn't we give you the Starry Sky Demon Orb before?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That was a deposit for the job. It was a deposit that I had to pay regardless of whether I could save you or not. Now that I have rescued you, the subsequent payment should naturally be made. After all, you are going to the Crimson Immortal Realm, and I don't even know where the Crimson Immortal Realm is."

Chi Zai casually brushed off Lin Chen, saying, "The Crimson Immortal Realm is located to the east of the Immortal Realm, near the Endless Demon Abyss."

"Endless Abyss of Demons?"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?"

Red Calamity replied, "A spatial rift connecting to the Demon Realm."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "The Demon Realm? Where is that?"

Chi Zai explained, "You can think of it as another immortal realm, only the cultivators there cultivate in a different way than us. Here we call them demons, so the world on the other side of that rift is also called the Demon Realm."

"The demons have been attacking the immortal realm through this huge spatial rift. The immortal realm will naturally not allow them to attack, so it has sent heavy troops to guard the Endless Demon Abyss to resist the demons that are attacking."

"The entire Crimson Realm is a huge battlefield. The Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm have been fighting here for a long time. The Immortal Realm has also invaded the Demon Realm, but it has not been able to win. The two sides are locked in a stalemate. Every once in a while, a battle will be fought here, and in each battle, countless immortals will die here."

After a pause, Crimson Calamity scoffed, "The Crimson Immortal Realm is separated from here by countless immortal realms. Anyway, this has nothing to do with you, so don't ask any more questions."

"Okay, I won't ask."

Lin Chen responded and stopped asking about the Demon Realm. Instead, he asked again, "Senior, you are a Starry Sky Demon Beast, such a powerful being. You wouldn't renege on your promise to a mere Celestial Immortal like me and refuse to pay the reward for saving you, would you?"
