The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2982 We don't want to be targeted, but we won't shirk our responsibilities either!

"Sect Master, why have their attitudes towards you changed so drastically? What have you done?"

"Yes, they seem to be afraid of you..."

Faced with questions from Chen Shuihe, Chi Ya, and others, Lin Chen did not hide anything and told them about the Zhao family and Zhou Daocang.

Chen Shuihe and the others all widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.

They all knew about the Zhao family's previous attempt to ambush Lin Chen, and originally thought that perhaps at the right time, Lin Chen would seek justice from the Palace Master. However, they realized that they had completely underestimated Lin Chen.

The Zhao family is one thing, since Lin Chen can command a group of demons and destroying the Zhao family is no problem. But Lin Chen taking the initiative to visit the Zhou family and then killing Zhou Daocang in front of the Zhou family members is a bit exaggerated.

What kind of power does the Zhou family have?
Lin Chen was fearless and went straight for it!

Doesn't he consider the consequences?

Chi Ya said worriedly, "The Zhou family is not simple, they..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Don't worry. Although Zhou Daocang is a disciple of the Zhou family and quite outstanding, he is not even a direct descendant. I have made my words very clear. The Palace Master will protect me. The Zhou family will not be foolish enough to turn against me for a disciple who is not important."

“Even if someone attacks me, it’s just Zhou Daocang’s parents or his closest blood relatives. Their actions only represent themselves, not the Zhou family. If they dare to come, I dare to kill them. It’s no big deal, after all, I’m in the right.”

Chi Ya and the others knew that the Palace Master had said, "As long as you are in the right, I will not let you suffer any injustice." After thinking about it carefully, their tense hearts immediately relaxed.

With Lin Chen's current strength, unless a Quasi-Saint makes a move, who can kill him?
As long as Lin Chen cannot be killed instantly, he can summon fifty great demons in the blink of an eye. Let alone killing anyone, it would be good enough if he didn't get killed in return.

Chi Ya exclaimed sincerely, "Sect Leader, you told the captain about this?"

Lin Chen nodded: "He didn't explain it completely, but it's obvious that he understands."

Chi Ya immediately laughed: "No wonder Gao Ming and Chen Chong changed their attitude towards you. With the precedents of the Zhao family and Zhou Daocang, even if the captain is a member of the Kong family, he probably won't dare to target you anymore. After all, no one can be sure whether you will turn around and kill someone if you are targeted."

"If you tell the Palace Master that you were in the right, wouldn't his death have been in vain?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Our relationship hasn't reached the point of no return. There's absolutely no need to push it to the point of mutual destruction. As a captain, how could he not understand these principles?"

Chen Shuihe breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his usually serious face: "That's great. I suppose he won't target the sect leader or the third team anymore. We don't have to worry about being targeted."

Xiong Yaxiong laughed gruffly: "More than that, his sending us into battle before was clearly a targeted move. Since he wants to put an end to the past, under normal circumstances, he will not only not target us in the future, but may even protect us."

Chi Ya said, "We also hope to prove ourselves on the battlefield. As long as we are not targeted, we are willing to accept fair assignments, even if it means making huge sacrifices!"

Lin Chen nodded: "That makes sense. We don't want to be taken advantage of, but we're not afraid of trouble either. We won't shy away from it. When it's our turn to fight, we'll fight!"

Chi Ya's eyes lit up as she said, "When the next war starts, the sect leader will make a great contribution and then go to the Ascension Hall to cultivate. Who knows, he might reach the upper level someday... Sect leader, after the Immortal-Demon War ends, will you leave?"

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback: "The war between immortals and demons is far from over, why are you asking this question?"

Chi Ya said expectantly, "With the sect leader leading us, we have a brighter future." Lin Chen smiled and said, "There are too many variables in the future, and I don't know where the future will lead. Don't worry, even if I really have to leave, I will definitely make sure everyone's future is settled. Even if I am no longer the sect leader of Haoran Sect, if anyone bullies you, I will definitely come back to deal with him!"

Lin Chen was only a mid-grade Grand Luo Immortal, while everyone present was a high-grade Grand Luo Immortal. Lin Chen's realm was the lowest, but he said those words very naturally.

He spoke naturally, and everyone listened naturally, all with joy on their faces, as if they had received an important guarantee.

No one thought that Lin Chen couldn't do what he said; everyone believed that Lin Chen definitely had the ability!

"What's the situation on the front lines lately?"

Chen Shuihe's expression turned serious again, and he said in a deep voice, "The Immortal-Demon Passage is opening much faster than before. A large number of demon troops have already arrived here, and a great battle is probably about to begin!"

Lin Chen frowned: "The Immortal-Demon Passage was opened completely ahead of schedule?"

"Yes!"

Chen Shuihe's eyes showed worry: "Although the time interval between each Immortal-Demon War is getting shorter, the opening and closing time of the Immortal-Demon Channel has always been stable. However, this time an accident has occurred."

"Based on the previous progress, in this amount of time, the Immortal-Demon Passage would probably only be one-third open, or even less. But now it's 80% open. This is very unusual, but we can't figure out why."

"This war between immortals and demons will likely take some unexpected turns, and it's probably heading in a worse direction..."

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Chen thought for a moment and then comforted them, saying, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Cultivators are no weaker than demons, so what's there to be afraid of? This Immortal-Demon Passage opens quickly, but it might close just as quickly."

Chi Ya sighed, "If only that were the case."

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "Don't overthink it, just focus on preparing for the battle! We've won twenty-seven times, and this time will be no exception!"

Everyone's eyes lit up slightly, all encouraged by Lin Chen's words!

Yes, in the previous twenty-seven wars between immortals and demons, there were many times when the defenses were completely broken, but in the end, didn't we still win?
In any case, if we can get through these two years, victory will still belong to the Immortal Realm!

With so many powerful beings in the Immortal Realm, could it be that they can't even last two years?
Once the Immortal-Demon passage is closed, no matter how many come, they will all become isolated. Even if they achieve a temporary victory, they will be wiped out in the face of the Immortal Realm's counterattack!

For the Demon Realm to achieve victory, besides possessing formidable and invincible combat power, it must also ensure that the celestial-demon passage remains open and that the two realms are permanently interconnected. Only in this way can the Demon Realm's power be continuously channeled into the Celestial Realm, enabling it to conquer territories and expand its influence.

In the past twenty-seven wars between immortals and demons, the closure of the immortal-demon passage has never failed, and this time will likely be no exception.

Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing the ancient martial arts gazes of the crowd.

Morale is the most important thing for an army. If you want to win and not collapse, morale must not be broken!

After everyone left, Lin Chen sat in a chair, his brows slowly furrowing.

What exactly happened in the Immortal-Demon Passage?
