The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2411 The villain dies from talking too much, you really don't understand!
A fireball burned inside the cave, illuminating the surroundings.

Shangguan Wenyin stood at the edge of the flames, half of his body in shadow.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, why are you being so mysterious?"

“Someone is watching me, I have to be careful.”

With a wave of his hand, Shangguan Wenyin caused the light of an array to suddenly flash within the cave, enveloping the entire cave and completely sealing off the cave entrance.

Lin Chen didn't move, tilted his head slightly, and carefully examined Shangguan Wenyin, who was standing at the edge of the shadows. He suddenly sighed, "After all this time, it turns out he's a fake. No wonder he was being so mysterious."

"Um?"

The "Shangguan Wenyin" in the darkness raised his head, his tone tinged with surprise: "How did you recognize me as a fake? Was my disguise not convincing enough, or did my voice give me away?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You are hiding at the boundary between light and shadow. Even if your disguise is not quite right, I would hardly notice it. Although there are slight differences in your voice, it is not the reason why I can tell that you are not Shangguan Wenyin."

Shangguan Wenyin asked with a light laugh, "I would like to hear the details."

Lin Chen replied casually, "Shangguan Wenyin is a magnanimous person with an unyielding spirit. No matter where he stands, he exudes a special aura. But when you stood there, I didn't sense that aura at all; instead, you seemed rather eerie..."

"Clap clap clap!"

The man stepped out from the shadows, clapped his hands lightly, and said in a teasing tone, "Your insight is indeed keen. Fortunately, I was right after all. If Shangguan Wenyin asks for your help, you will definitely not go to the Sea God Sect to verify the truth, but will come directly to keep the appointment."

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, you calculated it correctly. Before you activated the formation to seal off the surrounding area, even though I was a little curious, I didn't suspect anything too much. But now that we've come this far, aren't you going to tell me who you are?"

The man stepped into the light of the fireball, removed his hat, and then tore off an exquisitely crafted mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.

"You just used the word 'ghostly' to describe me, and I think that's a very apt description. Let me introduce myself. I am Lou Zihan, also known as the Ghost Prince..."

"The Ghost Prince?"

Lin Chen frowned, scrutinizing the pale-faced, handsome man before him: "Do you have any connection with Ghost Master?"

Lou Zihan smiled and said, "The Ghost Master is indeed my master."

Lin Chen's eyes revealed obvious disappointment: "Ghost Master was half-crippled by the siege of the three sects' experts. If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably take him a thousand or eight hundred years to recover. He holds a grudge against me, so he sent you, his disciple, to avenge him?"

Lou Zihan said smugly, "Yes, I came before the sectarian conflict and have been secretly watching you, but you have been staying in the Three Religions camp, so I haven't been able to find an opportunity to deal with you."

"I'll hide in the shadows and wait quietly. The news about you and Shangguan Wenyin has spread far and wide these past few days, so I've come to believe that there must be something more to it between you. Now that he's preparing to leave, I'm taking this opportunity to send you a message. Even if you want to verify it, you'll only be asking whether the Sea God Cult will retreat, not inquiring about Shangguan Wenyin in detail..."

Lou Zihan suddenly stopped speaking, looking at Lin Chen with a slightly confused expression: "Why aren't you afraid? Instead, you seem quite disappointed?"

Lin Chen smiled and pointed to the surrounding formation: "Do you really think this formation can stop me?"

Lou Zihan sneered, "Why don't you give it a try? If you can escape, I'll turn around and leave!"

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and took a step forward. However, as soon as he stepped out, the space rippled, but Lin Chen remained in place and did not step into the void.

Lou Zihan laughed loudly: "Although this formation is small, it can isolate spatial passage. If you were a little stronger, or even a little weaker than me, you could have broken through the cracks in the formation and escaped. Unfortunately, you are too weak and can only wait to die."

Lin Chen nodded and praised, "The formation is indeed excellent. You've gone to great lengths to capture me." Lou Zihan frowned, seeing that Lin Chen remained completely calm even at this point: "You're about to die, why aren't you afraid?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If I act a little scared, will you spare my life and let me go?"

"You think beautiful!"

Lou Zihan sneered, "Not only will you not escape death, but I won't let any of your three women go. After you die, I'll capture them one by one. Hehe, each of your three women is a beauty, and I'll cherish them well before they die..."

Lin Chen's expression remained calm, but a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes: "Like master, like disciple. You and your master are both deserving of death!"

Lou Zihan laughed loudly: "That's right, we all deserve to die. There are many people who want to kill us, but we are all alive and well. On the contrary, those who wanted to kill us all died at our hands, including you!"

Lin Chen shook his head and said calmly, "My first reaction was that it was one of those guys hiding in the shadows who wanted to kill me and then frame Shangguan Wenyin, causing a bigger conflict between the Dragon Mountain Sect and the Sea God Sect, creating chaos so they could profit from the chaos. But I never expected it to be a disciple of Ghost Master..."

Lou Zihan was stunned: "You were disappointed just now because of this?"

Lin Chen nodded: "That's right."

Lou Zihan frowned, a hint of unease appearing in his eyes: "Did you know this was a trap before you came to this meeting?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I don't know, but it's normal for me to inform my master before I go out to see Shangguan Wenyin, right?"

Lou Zihan looked at Lin Chen, who was speaking calmly and eloquently, and his sense of foreboding grew stronger.

He suddenly lunged at Lin Chen, shouting fiercely, "As long as your life is in my hands, even if Fu Yunzi comes over, he can't do anything to me!"

Lin Chen didn't resist at all, letting Lou Zihan control him, and still smiled gently, saying, "Your idea is not bad, but unfortunately..."

Lou Zihan grabbed Lin Chen, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "What's the pity?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "If you had activated the formation the moment you saw me, immediately attacked and killed me, and then fled, you might have had a chance to escape. Too bad, you wanted to tell me how you hid and set up today's trap, to show off your deeds and let me experience the fear of death, but you may have forgotten one thing..."

Lin Chen stared at Lou Zihan, who was standing right in front of him, and said, word by word, "Villains die from talking too much!"

Lou Zihan's face was gloomy. He grabbed Lin Chen and rushed toward the door. However, at that moment, a hazy figure appeared outside the array that sealed the door.

The hazy figure raised its hand, as if knocking on a door, and gently tapped on the array's light screen.

"boom!"

The formation instantly shattered, air currents surged, and sunlight streamed down, illuminating the man at the door.

Fu Yunzi stood at the door, glanced at Lou Zihan, and then looked at Lin Chen, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Huh, you're still alive?"

Lin Chen was completely under Lou Zihan's control. Hearing this, he curled his lip and said disdainfully, "This guy is Lou Zihan, a disciple of Ghost Master. He calls himself Ghost Prince and lured me in here. He just kept rambling on and on..."
