The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2639 Crimson Immortal Realm, War is Imminent

Bai Yunfei had previously told Lin Chen that he wanted to invite him to join the Divine Void Sect, but he never expected that the old matter would be brought up again in front of the Divine Void Sect's Thief Saint.

Lin Chen glanced quickly at Sun Yixiao and found that he was just smiling and did not intend to stop him. He wondered to himself, "Could this old man also want to take me under his wing?"
Because of his own ability to create clones?
Or perhaps, you find yourself somewhat interesting?
Although joining the Divine Void Sect might bring him the care or even protection of a Quasi-Saint, Lin Chen still politely declined, saying, "Thank you for the invitation, Brother Bai, but as you know, my expulsion from the sect was just a ruse to avoid implicating the Dragon Mountain Sect. In reality, I am still a disciple of the Dragon Mountain Sect, just unable to return openly. My master has been very good to me, how could I possibly join another sect?"

Bai Yunfei wasn't surprised by the rejection and laughed, "Alright, I guessed you would refuse too, but I still want to give it a try. Anyway, whenever you want, the doors of my Divine Void Sect are always open to you."

Lin Chen expressed his gratitude again, after all, he was currently at odds with the Myriad Immortals Palace, so it was quite kind of them to take him in under such circumstances.

Sun Yixiao walked around the entire Seven Wonders Hall, and finally returned to the statue of Baiyu Xingjun. He smiled mysteriously at Lin Chen and asked, "Would you like to have a chat with Baiyu Xingjun?"

Lin Chen turned his head in surprise: "Chatting? How so?"

Sun Yixiao stood with his hands behind his back, gesturing with his chin to the white jade statue in front of him: "This white jade statue was carved by his own hand, and it contains a formation. Through this formation, one can contact him..."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock as he asked, "Really? Is that possible?"

After Lin Chen obtained the Seven Wonders Palace, he did study the white jade statue, but he never discovered that there was a formation inside it.

Sun Yixiao chuckled, raised his hand and cast several spells. The spells landed on the white jade statue and quickly disappeared into it. After a few seconds, the white jade statue began to emit a hazy glow, and a faint array appeared at the heart of the white jade statue.

Sun Yixiao cast another spell, which landed directly in the formation. The formation instantly shone brightly, forming a milky-white mirror of light.

The light on the mirror flickered and quickly stabilized, and then a figure appeared in it, none other than the senior that Lin Chen had met back then.

He looks exactly the same as he did back then, just like the white jade statue, without the slightest change.

As Baiyu Xingjun was walking amidst white mountains and black waters, he seemed to sense the summons of the formation, stopped in his tracks with a somewhat surprised expression, and turned to look at the people in the hall.

His gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Sun Yixiao's face. He chuckled and said, "Isn't this the Thief Saint of the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm? Where did you find my statue?"

Sun smiled and said, "I didn't find this statue. You gave it to someone else on your own initiative. He didn't know there was an array inside this white jade statue. I just activated it for him."

"A gift?"

Bai Yuxingjun's face showed a hint of doubt. He looked around carefully again and seemed to finally remember the "little thing" he had once made.

"Is this the Hall of Seven Wonders?"

Bai Yuxingjun's gaze swept across the crowd again, finally landing on Lin Chen. His eyes lit up slightly, and his expression became intrigued.

"Hey, isn't this the little guy who refined all his bones into sword bones? It's only been a few years, and he's already at the Great Luo Realm. His strength has improved so quickly!" Lin Chen bowed respectfully: "Junior Lin Chen greets Senior. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Senior Thief Saint. It was from him that I learned your name. I am grateful to Senior for gifting me the Seven Wonders Palace. I have escaped many calamities thanks to it."

Bai Yuxingjun laughed heartily, "It's just a little trinket, don't worry about it. I really admire you for giving up that opportunity to save your disciple. By the way, where is your disciple?"

Lin Chen answered truthfully: "My disciple received a fortuitous opportunity from the senior and was the first to enter the Great Luo Realm. After we moved to the Myriad Gods Immortal Domain, we encountered the Myriad Immortals Palace selecting disciples. She participated in the selection, passed the selection with the second place, and joined the Myriad Immortals Palace. Now she works in the Battle Hall of the five outer halls of the Myriad Immortals Palace. Her strength should be above the Great Luo Supreme Immortal."

Lin Chen and Shu Zifeng met briefly and didn't have time to talk much, so he didn't know Shu Zifeng's current situation. However, since she was someone Jiang Wanchun valued, her strength should be at least above the Great Luo Immortal level.

Bai Yuxingjun laughed and said, "The young lady is indeed talented. Such achievements are worthy of the opportunity you gave up back then. By the way, how did you end up with that old scoundrel, Thief Saint? That kid is no good."

Lin Chen was immediately embarrassed and before he could think of a reply, Sun Yixiao jumped up and started cursing: "Who are you slandering? Who isn't a good person? If I'm not a good person, then who are you?"

Bai Yuxingjun wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "We only met once, and you already had your eye on my treasure. If I hadn't been watching it closely, you would have stolen it. And I even treated you to drinks."

Sun Yixiao's old face flushed slightly, and he forced himself to explain, "You know I'm the Thief Saint, yet you still flaunt those good things in front of me. How can you blame me? Besides, I was just trying to scare you; I didn't really make a move. If I had, how could the dignified Thief Saint have returned empty-handed?"

Bai Yuxingjun laughed heartily: "I haven't seen you for thousands of years. What are you doing in the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm? Don't you want to come out for a stroll?"

Sun Yixiao noticed the background behind Baiyu Xingjun: "Isn't this place, with its white mountains and black waters, the Nine Netherworld Immortal Realm?"

Bai Yuxingjun nodded and said, "I am in the Crimson Immortal Realm. The Immortal Emperor ordered me to come and take a look around."

Sun Yixiao frowned immediately, and his voice became more serious: "The Crimson Immortal Realm, is it going to start another war?"

Bai Yuxingjun hummed in agreement: "More than a thousand years have passed since the last great war. The demons have been recuperating and are making a comeback. A fierce battle is inevitable. Fellow Daoist Sun, your thieving skills are unparalleled. Why don't you come and have a go? The demons have plenty of good stuff over there; you can steal as much as you want..."

Sun Yixiao pressed further, "Did the Immortal Emperor send many people with his orders?"

Baiyu Xingjun replied, "The war has not yet begun, so only a small number of people have been sent to come and check out the situation. If the war begins in full swing, then the order will definitely be sent to all the Immortal Realms."

Sun Yixiao hesitated for a moment before replying, "I still have some things to take care of here. Once I'm done, I'll come and take a stroll around the Crimson Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing Sun Yixiao's reply, Baiyu Xingjun smiled and said, "Good! As expected of the Thief Saint, you're a real man! When you come back, I'll treat you to a drink!"

Sun Yixiao laughed heartily: "Drinking is fine, but you'd better hide your good stuff well, or don't blame me if it disappears..."
