The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2961 Responsibility on one side, life on the other
Zhou Daocang learned of Lin Chen's resounding victory immediately.

Zhou Daocang was completely devastated.

Panic filled his chest, because his first thought was of the missing Zhao Pingyang.

According to the Zhou family, he held off Chi Ya while Zhao Pingyang chased after Lin Chen alone, and then disappeared without a trace, his fate unknown.

Previously, the Zhao family and Zhou Daocang had many speculations, wondering if Zhao Pingyang had stolen Lin Chen's things and then secretly slipped away. Now that they know Lin Chen can instantly summon fifty great demons, the answer seems to have become clear all at once.

Zhao Pingyang is indeed powerful, but could he stop the fifty great demons?

Can he escape from the encirclement of the fifty great demons?
Lin Chen had a plan, but Zhao Pingyang was caught off guard. He was definitely tricked, either dead or in Lin Chen's hands, with the latter being much more likely.

The fact that Zhao Pingyang fell into Lin Chen's hands means that Lin Chen must have extracted information from him about himself as the mastermind behind the scenes!

Although he did not openly order the Zhao family to kill Lin Chen, his words and actions at the Zhao family's residence were enough to explain everything.

Murder doesn't need to be explained clearly, and neither does revenge require detailed evidence.

How to do?
Lin Chen actually possesses such great abilities that he can command fifty great demons!

How will he take revenge on himself?

Zhou Daocang did not believe that the other party would swallow his anger. Given the right opportunity, the other party would definitely kill him without hesitation.

He regretted it!

If I had known Lin Chen was such a tough nut to crack, why would I have bothered to provoke him?
Just swallow your anger, and it will pass, won't it?
Zhou Daocang was in a state of utter confusion, yet he was at a loss for what to do. All he could do was pretend that nothing was wrong while feeling anxious inside.

……

barracks.

The entire Haoran Sect was overjoyed, and the atmosphere was lively. The members of the neighboring Fifth Squad watched from afar with envy.

"What can we do now?" Chi Ya replied, "Cultivate, and wait!"

Chen Shuihe added: "Now it is wartime, and everything is managed according to wartime regulations. No one is allowed to leave the barracks without a reason, so as to avoid being unable to find anyone in case of emergency."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Then let's wait and see. Those who want to rest, rest; those who want to cultivate, cultivate!"

As for military regulations, Chi Ya was in charge, and Lin Chen was essentially a hands-off manager who only needed to give instructions.

Chi Ya said expectantly, "I will compile the battle records and submit them. If all goes well, the rewards will be announced soon. Sect Master, you have made great contributions this time and killed countless enemies. You should be able to qualify for the Ascension Array."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise: "You can enter the Spirit Ascension Array like this?"

Chi Ya explained, "The power infusion in the Spirit Ascension Array is extremely rapid. Entry qualifications are obtained by exchanging military merits. How long you can stay in the Spirit Ascension Array depends on the amount of military merits you have. The greater the military merits, the longer you can stay, and vice versa."

"Your great victory over the demon team this time, killing and wounding countless people, must have been a great achievement. If you are willing, you should be able to enter the Spirit Ascension Array, but I don't know how much cultivation time you can gain in return."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Isn't this wartime management? Even if I get the qualifications, can I leave the military camp to cultivate?"

Chi Ya smiled and said, "The war hasn't started yet. The First Legion has finished its rotation, but there are still four other legions and other squads. Basically, we will have a lot of free time, so you, Sect Master, will have plenty of time to cultivate."

"Even if a full-scale war breaks out, as long as you gain enough merit, you can still enter to cultivate. This is a war between two worlds, and the war will not be lost just because a few people are missing."

"The best way for those who win military merits to participate in the war is to quickly convert them into higher strength. This way, they can survive better and make more contributions in the next war. If, as you are worried, they cannot convert their military merits and have to wait until the end of the Immortal-Demon War to receive them, then many people's military merits will eventually turn into nothing. This will greatly discourage them."

Upon hearing the explanation, Lin Chen understood.

Although these immortals came to participate in the war, their primary purpose was naturally to protect the immortal realm, and their secondary purpose was to earn military merits and exchange them for various top-level cultivation resources to further enhance their strength.

Putting aside everything else, just consider those immortals who are stuck at a bottleneck, unable to advance any further, and gradually heading towards death—how many are there in the entire immortal realm?
If it were you, would you rather continue to sit idly by and wait to die, or would you rather make a contribution and take a chance?
Lan Xinyu has only been a low-grade Great Luo Immortal for a few years, yet she has already felt her limits and wants to participate in this war to try and gain the opportunity to enter the Spirit Ascension Array and improve her strength.

How many people like her are there in the entire Immortal Realm?
