The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2589 The Divine Sword of Burning Gods? Please wait in line!
Black Tower City, City Lord's Mansion.

"There are quite a few things here. Judging from the style, many of these items are from the Eastern Huangbei Sea. It seems that Black Tower City has caused quite a few harms."

Inside the treasure vault, Lin Chen, Shang Wenyan, and Yue Chengtian toured around, dazzled by the sights.

Shang Wenyan smiled and said, "In the end, it was us who benefited."

Lin Chen said with a clear conscience, "These people have either been killed by them or sold out by them. We have now avenged them, so these things are our reward. I think they are very willing to accept it."

Shang Wenyan asked, "What should we do about Black Tower City?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Although looting is rampant in Black Tower City, there are always some who don't join in. Just kill all the ringleaders and then hand the city over to a relatively upright person. After all, the ordinary residents here also need their protection. We can't just kill them all in one go."

Shang Wenyan nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Chen's suggestion.

Lin Chen turned to Yue Chengtian and said, "Take whatever you like or need."

Yue Chengtian happily thanked him, "Thank you, elder brother!"

She glanced at Shang Wenyan beside her, then added sweetly, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Shang Wenyan pursed her lips, smiling but saying nothing. Lin Chen, however, kicked Yue Chengtian, saying, "If you're going to take it, just take it already. Stop talking nonsense."

Yue Chengtian chuckled and ran into the treasure vault to pick and choose.

After Yue Chengtian was rescued, he helped set up an array to seal off Ge Chaojiang, which proved his strength.

He witnessed Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan's relentless slaughter, wiping out all the high-ranking members of Black Tower City. Then, they quietly entered Black Tower City, had the Bewitching Taoist use the city lord's order to bring back all the disciples who had set up plundering points in various places. Then, they ruthlessly took action and killed everyone.

Yue Chengtian was shocked by the two men's strength and methods, and became their biggest fan.

Yue Chengtian was very perceptive. He tentatively inquired about the relationship between the two and judged from their reactions that they were in a stage of liking each other but not officially together. So he immediately arranged to call her "sister-in-law".

Shang Wenyan neither agreed nor objected, nor did she offer any explanation, so Lin Chen naturally didn't feel it was appropriate to say anything.

Shang Wenyan didn't rush to explain, so why are you in such a hurry to explain?
Are they busy distancing themselves from the situation?
Yue Chengtian mainly collected materials related to formations; he didn't take any rare or precious materials, showing great shrewdness.

"Alright, let's pack it up and split it in half..."

Shang Wenyan chuckled and said, "You can keep it."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If we're talking about credit, you deserve more than me. I've already gotten half of it, so how can you not want it?"

Shang Wenyan chuckled: "These things aren't of much use to me, so you can keep them. I'll just ask you for them if I really need them."

"All right!"

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony. After all, Shang Wenyan had come with him, and since they were together, it didn't matter if he accepted the money.

If Shang Wenyan has to leave in the future, I'll just prepare a big gift for her.

Lin Chen has never been a stingy or selfish person. On the contrary, he is very generous and magnanimous to his own people.

After settling things in Black Tower City and handing it over to a bewildered middle-aged man, ensuring that the man could keep the city under control, Lin Chen and his companions left Black Tower City.

Through inquiries within Black Tower City, Lin Chen roughly learned the locations of Netherfire City and Snowwind City.

Netherfire City is roughly located in the central part of the Western Hell, while Snowwind City is in the far west.

To get to Snowwind City, you need to traverse the entire Western Prison.

"Brother, I'll go to Netherfire City with you first. If it's not on the way, I'll go to Snowwind City by myself..." Lin Chen smiled and said, "Alright, even if we stay in Netherfire City and don't head west anymore, we'll find a reliable caravan or other team to take you to Snowwind City."

Yue Chengtian said gratefully, "Thank you, brother!"

The three traveled westward, encountering numerous robberies and deceptions along the way. Fortunately, the two were alert and strong, managing to escape danger time and time again.

The Western Prisoners' hostility towards cultivators from other realms is fully demonstrated.

Whenever Lin Chen and his two companions appeared in a crowd, they were like fireflies in the dark night, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Suspicion, wariness, hostility...

To avoid trouble, the three had to change their attire, wearing gray robes, hats, and face-concealing artifacts.

Although concealing his face seemed a bit odd, at least he was no longer in the spotlight as before.

After traveling between cities for four months, the three finally arrived at Netherfire City.

The City of Netherfire is vast, magnificent, and populous, with lights illuminating the city like daytime, making it a very prosperous place.

The City of Darkfire is built against the mountain, and the city lord's mansion is located at the end of the city, at the entrance of the mountain range. It is huge and can accommodate thousands of people, but everyone knows that the city lord does not live in the city lord's mansion.

City Lord Gu Qinghai and the city's powerful figures all resided within the mountain range shrouded by an array for the convenience of cultivation, and the magnificent City Lord's Mansion served as the entrance to the mountain range.

The gates of the city lord's mansion were wide open, and although there were guards at the entrance, no one stopped them.

As Lin Chen and his companions entered, a middle-aged man greeted them with a gentle smile: "What brings you three here?"

Lin Chen revealed his true identity and cupped his hands, saying, "Lin Chen, a disciple of the Donghuang Longshan Sect, requests an audience with City Lord Gu."

The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged: "The city lord is in seclusion. May I ask what brings you three to see him?"

Lin Chen frankly told him, "I've heard that Lord Gu possesses a sword called 'Burning God,' which has the miraculous ability to sever life imprints..."

The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "That's true. So, the three of you wish to borrow my sword?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I am willing to pay the corresponding reward or price."

The middle-aged man chuckled and stepped aside: "Please follow me, all three of you."

Lin Chen was surprised. That's all?
Aren't you going to ask any more questions?
Lin Chen and his two companions followed the middle-aged man through the bustling hall ahead, then through many corridors, and finally into a large hall.

The hall was spacious, with plenty of tables and chairs, on which fruits and tea were laid out.

The hall was quite crowded, with some people sitting at individual tables and others in groups of three or five, making it seem rather lively.

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Where is this?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The City Lord's Mansion is responsible for handling all kinds of affairs in Netherfire City. Different types of affairs will be assigned to different places and will be processed in order."

"This room is specifically for handling matters related to the Burning God Sword, so please wait in line here. Staff will assist you shortly. Until then, you are free to rest and enjoy the fruits and tea as you please."

Lin Chen's eyes widened as he scanned the dozens of people in the hall: "You mean, all of these people want to borrow the Burning God Sword?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's not necessarily all borrowed, but... it's more or less the same!"
