The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3042 You betrayed me the moment we met?
The guides changed repeatedly, and each time they had to verify the identities of Lin Chen, Bai Manmei, and the others.

tight!

Lin Chen was secretly amazed. These people must be the spies that the Great Wilderness Palace had sent out on the outskirts.
Whenever a powerful figure passes by, it will alert these spies, who will then use special means to relay the message back.

Lin Chen could roughly imagine that different people would definitely be treated differently, and the reason why he had a smooth journey was probably because of his special identity as a human.

The Mercenary Association is a neutral organization, and Bai Manmei and the others' identities were not faked, so these people were not so wary of talents like them.

After traveling for many days, Lin Chen and his group finally arrived at the Great Wilderness Palace.

The Great Wilderness Palace is built on the summit of a continuous snow-capped mountain. The huge metal buildings blend perfectly with the mountain peaks. Under the snow cover, they are a seamless whole, as if these majestic palaces grew out of the mountain peaks.

The guide had become a guard from the Great Wilderness Palace. Lin Chen followed the guard and casually asked, "Is this Great Wilderness Palace the secluded cultivation place of the Great Wilderness Saint?"

The guard glanced at Lin Chen and grunted, "Yes."

Is the Great Wilderness Sage here?

Deep within the snow-capped mountains, or perhaps inside one of the majestic metal palaces?

Lin Chen was led by the guards to the entrance of one of the main halls. He turned around and said, "This main hall is the residence of those human immortals. You can ask the guards in this hall for the person you are looking for."

This grand hall is located on the summit of a snow-capped mountain. The main body of the hall is at least a thousand meters high, but compared with the entire majestic and steep snow-capped mountain, it is like the peak of the mountain.

There was a reclining chair at the entrance of the main hall. An elderly man with white hair was leaning back in the chair with his eyes closed, looking very relaxed, just like the old security guard sunbathing at the factory gate.

The guards descended from the sky and landed in front of the old man. The guards bowed and said, "Old Zhang, someone is looking for you."

The white-haired old man opened his eyes, and Lin Chen casually took off his hood, revealing his true face.

The white-haired old man's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Chen: "Young man, you're quite handsome. Where are you from?"

Lin Chen replied, "The Immortal Realm, the Crimson Immortal Domain."

The white-haired old man frowned slightly: "The routed soldiers scattered by the Demon Flame Devouring Heaven Formation?"

Lin Chen replied, "Yes!"

The white-haired old man asked, "How can you prove it?"

Lin Chen took out his captain's badge and placed it on the table in front of the white-haired old man: "Before the Immortal-Demon Passage opened, an elder told me that during the twenty-first Immortal-Demon War, a team of powerful individuals broke into the Immortal-Demon Passage and has been missing ever since."

"Excuse me, senior, are the immortals living here one of those groups, or are they some other kind?"

The white-haired old man picked up the captain's badge and examined it, then his gaze fell on Lin Chen again: "Who told you that?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Master Taixu."

The white-haired old man's face showed surprise: "You are a disciple of Master Taixu?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, it's just that the senior likes me and takes good care of me, that's all."

The white-haired old man looked at the badge in his hand, his gaze complex. Nostalgia?
Sigh?
"I heard that your vanguard suffered heavy casualties when they broke into the Demon Realm, with many quasi-saints dying..."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Nearly 200,000 people attacked the Demon Realm, but fell into the trap of the Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo. Most of them died. I heard that more than a dozen Quasi-Saints died, and most of the rest were injured. It was because of this that the Demon Realm was able to break through the entire defense line in its counterattack."

"When we stormed in, an immortal suddenly appeared and shouted a warning, causing the trap to activate prematurely. Otherwise, the casualties in the immortal realm would probably have been even greater. Is that immortal related to this place?"

The white-haired old man nodded: "That kid was quite talented, and I had high hopes for him, but I never expected him to die like this."

Lin Chen was filled with awe: "He was a true hero. He disregarded his own safety and warned people for thousands of miles before being killed. If it weren't for his warning, the losses would probably have been even more devastating."

The white-haired old man waved his hand at the guard: "Alright, leave it to me, you can go now."

After the guards left, the white-haired old man's gaze fell on Bai Manmei and the others behind him: "Who are they?"

"The Mercenary Association brought me here, and they also wanted to inquire about the Great Wilderness Saint's situation..."

Lu Sen and the others widened their eyes, their gazes filled with shock and anger. "You've already betrayed us the moment we met?"
Bai Manmei wasn't flustered. Her life was in Lin Chen's hands. It was clear that Lin Chen and the white-haired old man had made contact after their conversation, so her life should be safe.

Luxembourg?

Let him die if he wants to; it's his own fault for coming along!
The white-haired old man did not react with the excitement that everyone expected. He had an indifferent and unsurprising expression: "There are many people who want to find out about the Great Wilderness Saint. They can't even see him. What can they find out? It's all a waste of effort."

Luxen was shocked. Everything was alright?
In the Great Wilderness Sage's territory, when someone said they wanted to inquire about the Great Wilderness Sage's situation, no one paid any attention.
Lu Sen couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you all been living here for a long time? Don't you even know how the Great Wilderness Saint is doing?"

The white-haired old man curled his lip: "We humans are nothing but guests living under someone else's roof. Do you think we can meet the Great Wilderness Saint? Do you think he will tell us how badly he was injured or how well he has recovered?"

"Over the years, waves of spies from the Demon God's Temple have infiltrated the area under various identities and using all sorts of methods to gather information, but none of them have succeeded. What makes you think you can find out anything?"

Bai Manmei's expression was subtle. She had previously made up a story that she had taken on a secret mission to find out about the situation of the Great Wilderness Saint, but she never expected to actually stumble upon it by sheer luck.

The white-haired old man's words provided a convenient excuse, and he no longer cared whether he would have a future or not.

If even the spies from the Demon God's Temple can't find out, isn't it normal that I can't find out either?

Luxen looked resentful. He had come all this way just for this?

The white-haired old man had no intention of receiving them. He waved his hand and said, "This hall is a human dwelling. Outsiders are not welcome. If you don't want to leave, go to the reception hall and find a place to stay."

Bai Manmei, naturally unable to leave, turned back with a carefree look: "I'll find a place to stay and contact you later."

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay!"

Having followed Bai for so long, Lu Sen was naturally unwilling to give up. He wanted to find out more about the situation, so he turned around and followed Bai Manmei with his subordinates.

"You seem quite happy. He's found the person he was looking for and is out of your control. You got nothing. What are you so happy about?"

Bai Manmei turned around and smiled slightly: "Since everything has been made clear, it means we can inquire openly and honestly, without having to be sneaky or furtive, and we won't get caught. We might not get any results, but at least we're safe. Isn't that something to be happy about?"
