The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2388 There's nothing you can't tell others, tell him!

"Is he the strongest among the three religions?"

Liu Yun readily replied, "Yes, although our Longshan Sect and Buddhism are in a competitive relationship in a certain sense, in terms of strength alone, it is indeed the number one of the three sects. If you ask the Tao Sect about this, you will get the same answer."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Amazing! There's no first place in literature, but there's no second place in martial arts. To be able to win the respect of all three religions, this person's strength is truly formidable."

Liu Yun sighed, "He is indeed very powerful, but his condition is not very stable. So he usually seals his cultivation. He is naturally the most suitable person to step forward in the battle between the strongest of the Three Religions and the Sea God Sect, but we are worried that he will not be able to control himself after he breaks the seal."

Lin Chen tentatively asked, "What can't you control?"

Huiyun sighed and said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to control his inner demons and will turn into a demonic monk, a bloodthirsty butcher, slaughtering everyone in his path."

Lin Chen was startled. "Wow, this is a bit much!"

Such a powerful being, wreaking havoc everywhere, who can stop it?

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Is it possible for his inner demon to flare up, or is it possible for it not to?"

"Yes!"

Fu Yunzi replied, "When he seals his strength, he is just like an ordinary person, and his inner demons will not flare up. However, when he breaks the seal and fights with all his might, his inner demons will seize the opportunity to tempt him. If he can resist the temptation and continue to seal his strength after the battle, there will be no problem. If he cannot resist the temptation, then no one knows what will happen."

Liu Yun added, "If it weren't for the honor of the three religions, we wouldn't have agreed to let him participate in the battle. The best-case scenario now is that we win four out of the first six battles and end the war ahead of schedule."

Lin Chen suddenly realized, and a strong curiosity arose in his heart about that powerful being whose name he could not even mention.

What kind of being could make so many big shots admit their inferiority and even feel fear?

Where did you live before?

Lin Chen replied, "Within the Moon Goddess Sect, I am neighbors with Shangguan Wenyin."

All eyes immediately fell on Lin Chen's face. Xuan He, who had been listening silently, asked in surprise, "Shangguan Wenyin?" Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect."

Xuanhe asked with great interest, "Lin... cough, Uncle-Master, do you have any dealings with him?"

Lin Chen nodded and recounted how the strange phenomenon occurred after he borrowed the Sea Tide Pearl. After finishing his story, Lin Chen himself was stunned.

Good heavens, before I could say that my borrowing of the Tide Pearl was unrelated to the three religions, but now I've turned around and become a disciple of the Dragon Mountain Sect. How am I supposed to explain this?
This is a bit embarrassing.

The group exchanged glances, their expressions subtly different.

This matter is neither too big nor too small. If Xuanhe and the others win against Shangguan Wenyin, and he claims it's because of the Tide Pearl, and then shifts the blame to Lin Chen and the Dragon Mountain Sect, what will happen then?
Liu Yun decisively said, "Lin Chen only became a disciple after entering the camp, and outsiders don't know about it, not even the other two sects. Why don't we keep this matter hidden for now and talk about it after this matter is over, so that they won't find an excuse later?"

Fu Yunzi remained silent, then turned to Lin Chen and asked, "What's your opinion?"

Lin Chen himself was also somewhat conflicted. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to hide this matter from Shangguan Wenyin, after all, he was truly innocent. If the matter was exposed, he might not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the endless sea. However, Lin Chen was also unsure how Shangguan Wenyin would react if he told him.
Lin Chen pursed his lips and said, "I'll listen to everyone."

Now that I've joined the Longshan Sect, it wouldn't be right to only think of myself. I should listen to my master and do whatever he tells me to do. In the end, I might feel apologetic about this, but I have a clear conscience because I really didn't mean to harm anyone.

Fu Yunzi looked into Lin Chen's eyes and said, "Go back to the Moon God Sect and tell Shangguan Wenyin about your apprenticeship. Ask him if he is worried that this is a conspiracy. If so, you can change it to a best-of-five or best-of-three format and ask Shangguan Wenyin not to fight. We can accept either of those."

Fu Yunzi turned to look at the others and sneered, "There's nothing that can't be said. Shangguan Wenyin could have stopped this, but he didn't, which means he was willing. Lin Chen became a disciple after that, so this has nothing to do with it. If they want to use this to try and find a connection, they should say so sooner rather than later. We should change the competition rules sooner rather than later, so that we don't end up making excuses after we lose."

Since Fuyunzi had spoken, no one else objected, and the matter was settled.

“Alright, I’ll go back to him now, explain the matter, and then I’ll bid farewell to the Moon God Sect and move to this camp.”

"Alright, you can go on your own now, I won't go with you."

As Fu Yunzi spoke, he tossed over a token: "Here you go. If you encounter danger, infuse it with spiritual energy to activate it. As long as I'm not in some special perilous place, I will sense it and come to your aid immediately."
