The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2598 Those who are afraid of death often die, while those who are not afraid of death can live!
Lin Chen sighed inwardly and nodded silently.

At this point, Lin Chen had already taken the blame, and he no longer cared what would happen if he followed the old woman. At least it seemed that the old woman had no intention of killing them.

Although Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan were not weak, she could easily kill them, so there was no need for them to feign compliance with her.

The battle flags swept across the sky, and the battle slaves, having finished their fight, disappeared once again into the flags with their spoils.

From beginning to end, these war slaves did not utter a single word.

As Lin Chen looked at the vanished war slaves, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he was immediately horrified.

This old woman seems quite adept at controlling war slaves. Could she also be trying to turn us into war slaves?

Thinking of the helpless state of these war slaves, Lin Chen suddenly shuddered.

"Don't worry, although I also create war slaves, I don't accept just anyone. Your strength is quite outstanding among the younger generation, but you are not qualified to be my war slaves."

The old woman's voice reached Lin Chen's ears. Lin Chen turned his head and met the old woman's deep and unfathomable eyes, as if she could see through all of Lin Chen's thoughts.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Senior's strength is so formidable, you're probably already at the Quasi-Saint level. You don't need someone with my strength; wouldn't that just be a hindrance?"

"Quasi-Saint, humph!"

The old woman snorted coldly, her eyes deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern her true emotions.

With a wave of her hand, the four array flags returned to her grasp, and she casually summoned a small flying boat.

"Come, you take control of the flying boat and head west."

Lin Chen nodded, silently picked up Yue Chengtian, and boarded the flying boat.

Just as Shang Wenyan was about to use her magic weapon to conceal her true appearance, the old woman calmly said, "Don't bother covering it up. Just leave it as it is. It would be a waste to cover up such a beautiful face."

Shang Wenyan paused for a moment, then silently lowered her hand.

"My face has caused me a lot of trouble, so I cover it up to avoid trouble..."

The old woman said coldly, "Since you're with me, there's no need to hide anything. If there's anyone who's blind to the danger, just kill them."

Shang Wenyan's eyes lit up, she lowered her hands, and obediently replied, "Thank you, senior!"

Lin Chen listened to their conversation and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the old woman, who seemed to have a strange personality, might be jealous of Shang Wenyan's near-perfect face. After all, a woman's strongest emotion towards a more beautiful woman isn't admiration, but rather jealousy—a desire to destroy and utterly annihilate the other woman.

Judging from the old woman's tone, she seemed to quite admire Shang Wenyan's beautiful appearance.

"Senior, how should I address you?"

The old woman said coldly, "You've probably called me a damned old hag a million times in your heart, haven't you?"

Lin Chen was extremely embarrassed: "Although your actions have left me speechless and may cause me a lot of trouble in the future, I still admire your strength immensely. Of the countless supernatural powers in this world, time and space are the most mysterious, and among these two, those who master time-related supernatural powers are even rarer. You are truly a rare powerhouse in this world..."

The old woman turned to look at Lin Chen and calmly asked, "You're quite the talker. What is your innate supernatural power?"

Without hesitation, Lin Chen answered honestly, "The Great Escape of the Five Elements."

The old woman was slightly taken aback: "That's quite rare, rather interesting."

Lin Chen chuckled: "That was the same comment my master gave me when he first met me."

The old woman waved her hand: "I'm afraid you can't go back to the Dragon Mountain Sect. From now on, follow me... Either you'll rise above others, or you'll die without a burial place."

The old woman's words were filled with an indomitable spirit, and it was clear that she was making a final decision, not a choice for herself.

Lin Chen had no choice.

Lin Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I originally came from a small town, all alone. Along the way, I have offended countless people and killed quite a few, but I can face it all calmly. After all, I am not a big shot and have no background. I will take it one day at a time and have no regrets along the way."

"Senior is so capable that he can take notice of me and let me follow him. That is my good fortune. However, my master Fuyunzi has been kind to me. If my actions implicate him and the Longshan Sect, it will make me feel guilty and obstruct my Dao heart."

"Senior, may I record a video to send to my master, so that I can sever ties with him and prevent him from being implicated by me..."

The old woman sneered, "You seem quite sentimental and loyal. You're afraid of implicating him, but aren't you afraid of dying yourself?"

Lin Chen laughed nonchalantly, "When I was still a mortal, I was a soldier, fighting on the battlefield to protect my country. I have long since become indifferent to life and death."

"In the world of cultivation, the strong are revered, and thrones are forged from bones. Those who fear death often perish, while those who are not afraid may have a glimmer of hope..."
