The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2288 Nobody wants to be robbed every day!

Bai Yunfei took out three spatial rings, his expression slightly smug: "Although they set up restrictions on the spatial rings, it's no problem for us Shenkong Sect disciples. I've already broken them all, and now they have nothing to do with their original owners."

Lin Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Those who can control this spatial ring and safeguard all the spoils are obviously people of high status and great strength from the three sects. Although Brother Bai is a peak Great Luo Profound Immortal, he is not a Great Luo Supreme Immortal. How did you manage to do it so secretly?"

Bai Yunfei laughed and said, "The divine abilities of the Divine Void Sect can break through spatial limitations and steal or replace items silently without anyone noticing. Of course, if the target is very powerful, then you need to use words or actions to interfere with the other party's perception, divert their attention, and make their emotions fluctuate. Under such circumstances, the success rate can be greatly increased."

"Stealing, whether it's a mortal or an immortal, the process and principle are the same. Mortal thieves have ways to shield themselves from the senses of mortals, and immortals have ways to shield themselves from the senses of immortals. When the secret techniques of the Divine Void Sect are practiced to a high level, one can steal things from a distance, even through formations, so that your things can be stolen without anyone noticing."

Lin Chen gave a thumbs up: "Even a Great Luo Immortal couldn't defend against you, amazing!"

Bai Yunfei chuckled: "No matter how skilled you are, you're still just a thief. If you succeed, that's good; if you fail and escape, that's fine too. But if you fail and get caught, that's really bad."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "If a disciple of the Divine Void Sect is captured, will they be killed by the other side?"

Bai Yunfei shook his head: "It's highly unlikely, but you'll definitely suffer a lot."

Lin Chen was very surprised: "You're all in this state, why haven't those people killed you yet?"

Bai Yunfei's eyes held undisguised arrogance: "If they are confident that they can kill someone silently, making them vanish without a trace, then they will definitely be willing to kill us. But if we have already spread the news that we have been captured, then they will be more cautious. After all, no one wants their home to be burgled every day."

Lin Chen's expression turned quite strange. Could this really be possible?

Is theft a threat?
Bai Yunfei explained with a grin, "If we get caught, we must spread the word before we are caught who we stole from and who caught us. If the other side is powerful and not afraid of the Divine Void Sect, then we are most likely doomed."

"But if the other side isn't that powerful and is wary of the Divine Void Sect, then our chance to survive will come. Usually, in this situation, we'll suffer a lot of physical pain, but we won't die. In the end, we'll pay a huge ransom, several times the value of what we stole, to redeem ourselves. We'll also swear a solemn oath to the heavens that we'll never approach their forces again, nor will we ever seek revenge, thus settling this grudge." Lin Chen suddenly realized that for the victims, if the Divine Void Sect disciples failed and were captured, they actually suffered no loss. Rather than killing the thieves and creating a blood feud with the Divine Void Sect, it was better to vent their anger, extort a large sum of money, and completely settle the grudge.

As for those who were successfully robbed, the disciples of the Divine Void Sect would flee far away after the theft, living a nomadic life. It would probably be difficult to find them, and such a thing would also bring shame to their sect if it got out. Most of the time, they would only investigate in private or let it go.

The Divine Void Sect is truly a remarkable sect. To be a thief and reach such a level is truly astonishing.

Bai Yunfei handed three spatial rings to Lin Chen: "This exploration lasted long enough and the harvest was quite considerable, especially the twelve Void Lotus Grasses. These are very useful to both of us. We'll each have half, and you can decide what you need from the rest. If not, we can just divide them up."

Twelve plants!
That's quite a lot.

On second thought, although he had the "cheat code" of Crimson Calamity, which allowed him to quickly find the Void Lotus Grass, he was still alone, and his search speed wouldn't be that fast. In contrast, the explorers from the three sects numbered in the thousands, and their search speed was far beyond his reach.

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then answered frankly, "For the past six months since we parted ways at the place where Chi Zai was suppressed, I have been searching for Void Lotus Grass with Chi Zai. I have found quite a few. You can keep these; I won't share them."

Bai Yunfei shook his head, neatly separated six Void Lotus Grasses, and threw the six boxes directly to Lin Chen.

“One thing at a time. What you’ve found is all earned through your own hard work, so naturally it’s all yours. What I’ve gained is thanks to your efforts, so we should divide it as we see fit.”

"If you hadn't told me about this, I wouldn't have been able to find even one, let alone six. I'm currently stuck at a bottleneck, and this Void Lotus Grass is enough to help me break through it and advance to the Great Luo Immortal realm. You've really helped me a lot..."
