The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2862 Is he really that brave?

Lin Chen's casual answer temporarily satisfied their curiosity, and they didn't ask any further questions. Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen are both master craftsmen, so they must know more about the famous magic treasures in the immortal realm than ordinary cultivators. They are also top experts, so they probably know about the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. Lin Chen is a little worried.

Lin Chen didn't know what Qi Jie's former master had gone through, but he was certain that her former master's opponents were very powerful, possibly a group of quasi-saints, and that he was ultimately the loser, while the victors were definitely still alive.

If this matter is accidentally leaked and they find out, Lin Chen will be in danger.

Even if Lin Chen already has Zhen Liuxue by his side, he might not be able to handle this grudge.

The Xuan Kong Gate was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, bustling with activity and filled with countless guests, creating a joyous atmosphere.

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen identified themselves and were immediately given a high-level reception, while Wanyan Jie arrived at the first opportunity.

"Junior Sister Gong, where did you go before? Why did you suddenly leave like that?"

Outside Xuanbai Valley, Lin Chen and his companions were kidnapped by men in black robes. Although they were not far apart, the ancient blue bell created a misty world, so no one was alerted.

The competition had already ended, and everyone thought that Su Hao, Dai Yunshen, and others had left. Even Wan Yanjie did not expect that Gong Jianying and Lin Chen had gotten into trouble.

Among Master Taixu's disciples, who dares to lay a hand on him? Do they have a death wish?

Gong Jianying replied, "I was trapped and only escaped today."

Wanyan Jie was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Who dares to lay a hand on my junior sister on my Xuan Kong Sect's territory? Isn't that disrespecting my Xuan Kong Sect?"

Gong Jianying shook his head: "Where is Uncle Wanyan? We have something important to report."

Wanyan Jie quickly led the group to find Wanyan Bo, who was quite surprised to see Su Hao and Dai Yunshen.

Although he was the sect leader of Xuan Kong Sect and his reputation was widespread, Su Hao and Dai Yunshen, as master weapon refiners, were no less prestigious than him. Moreover, Wanyan Bo did not have much of a relationship with them. It was indeed strange that they would come to Xuan Kong Mountain together to celebrate his birthday.

Was it because you participated in the Xuanbai Valley weapon-refining competition, so you did it on the side?
But didn't the weapon crafting competition end three months ago?
Gong Jianying asked, "Uncle, did you send people to the Red River Mountains to investigate the man in black robes? What were the results?"

Wanyan Bo shook his head and said, "That area was completely destroyed. We only found some scattered and broken refining materials. We didn't find any black-robed men. I guess after your explosion, even if they were still alive, they all ran away, since we'd already been exposed..."

Gong Jianying spoke up, "The leader of the black-robed men is a quasi-saint. He attacked Seniors Su and Dai. Because we happened to be with them at the time, we were trapped as well!" Wanyan Bo's expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly stood up: "What does he want to do?"

Quasi-Saint!

Although the Xuan Kong Sect is powerful, it does not have any Quasi-Saints. Now, this Quasi-Saint is causing trouble in the Xuan Kong Sect's territory and has even attacked two weapon-refining masters. It is clear that the other party is up to something big.

No matter what the other side is up to, Xuan Kong Sect will probably be the first to bear the brunt!
Su Hao said in a deep voice, "We suspect that the man in black robes is a demon."

Wanyan Bo felt a sudden chill run down his spine, and his eyes widened in horror: "Demons! How could they be here?"

Su Hao recounted the previous deductions of everyone. Wanyan Bo's expression was solemn, but when he heard that Wen Mengsheng had appeared and was chasing after the man in black robes, he felt somewhat relieved.

"It would be great if he could take action."

After a pause, Wanyan Bo asked, "Is there anything my Xuan Kong Sect can do?"

Su Hao shook his head and said, "Brother Wanyan, there's no need to worry for now. Just send your disciples to search the vicinity and see if there are any suspicious black-robed people. Their main purpose is to set up a teleportation array. The previous teleportation array was destroyed. Now that they have the materials, they haven't been able to successfully refine the array core, so they can't complete the construction of the teleportation array in a short time."

"We'll wait for Fellow Daoist Wen to return and then decide what to do. If this is true, we must report to the Domain Lord and do everything in our power to wipe them out, leaving no one alive. Otherwise, once they establish the teleportation array, the consequences will be endless!"

"it is good!"

Wanyan Jie, who was listening nearby, was completely numb.

I was just accompanying Gong Jianying to look at weapon forging, how did it get involved in such a dangerous matter?
He felt out of place listening to the discussions among the others.

Looking at Lin Chen standing next to him, he felt quite strange.

Although he barely spoke, everyone—Gong Jianying, Su Hao, and Dai Yunshen—was clearly paying attention to Lin Chen. In particular, when Su Hao recounted his escape, he mentioned that "Lin Chen used his skills to hold off the man in black robes until Wen Mengsheng arrived." Upon careful consideration, one can discern the significance of this statement.

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen were both injured, yet Lin Chen was able to hold off a Quasi-Saint?
Is he really that brave?
