The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3052 The Spark?
Lin Chen and the others did not have to wait long before a menacing army appeared on the horizon.

The three teams quickly formed battle formations, ready to fight.

Zhou Wu was shocked as he looked at the three teams, their murderous aura overwhelming. Was the strength of the Immortal Realm really that formidable?
How could a low-level squad of a thousand people possess such terrifying strength?

How could such a powerful celestial army be defeated?
"Don't panic, everyone. This is the army of my Great Wilderness Palace."

The army arrived riding the wind, like celestial soldiers and generals, a vast, dark mass floating in the sky, led by Qi Shouzhen, the Left General of the Great Wilderness Palace.

Qi Shouzhen was a burly man with a resolute and serious face. His sharp eyes scrutinized the three squads that had formed a battle formation.

Zhou Wu went up to Qi Shouzhen and reported the situation. Qi Shouzhen's tense face gradually relaxed a little.

Qi Shouzhen flew over and hovered in front of Lin Chen and the others.

"I am Qi Shouzhen, the Left Martial General of the Great Wilderness Palace. Are you all here to join my Great Wilderness Palace?"

Lin Chen cupped his hands and introduced himself: "We wish to join forces with the Great Wilderness Palace to fight against the Demon God Temple. We wonder if the Great Wilderness Palace is willing to accept us?"

Qi Shouzhen said in a deep voice, "The Great Wilderness Palace has no relationship with the Immortal Realm. Whether the Great Wilderness Palace will accept you is up to the Palace Master to decide. You may return to the Great Wilderness Palace to meet the Palace Master first."

Lin Chen nodded calmly: "Will it be safe for us to enter the Great Wilderness Palace?"

Lin Chen asked this question because there was actually controversy within the Great Wilderness Palace regarding the human race.

When the eighteen patriarchs first entered the Great Wilderness Palace, they were not initially accepted. It was the leading Quasi-Saint of Space who did the Great Wilderness Palace a great favor, after which the Great Wilderness Palace accepted the eighteen patriarchs, which led to the large number of human branches in the Great Wilderness Palace today.

With the Immortal-Demon Passage now permanently secured, the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm are now one. There has been debate within the Great Wilderness Palace about whether the Great Wilderness Palace should take the initiative to join forces with the Immortal Realm to deal with the Demon God Palace.

Supporters said that we are almost unable to survive under the oppression of the Demon Temple, so why do we care about whether we are of the same race or not? We are enemies to begin with, so isn't it normal to unite with the enemy of the enemy to defeat the enemy?

Opponents argued that the conflict between the Great Wilderness Palace and the Demon God Temple was an internal conflict within the demon race. If the Great Wilderness Palace were to collude with the Immortal Realm, it would be tantamount to betraying its own race—not only shameful but also potentially inviting a terrifying retaliation from the Demon God Temple, or even the wrath of a saint. The two factions argued endlessly, ultimately reaching a stalemate, and could only temporarily shelve the matter. After all, the Immortal-Demon passage remained in the hands of the Demon God Temple, and even if the Great Wilderness Palace wanted to join forces with the Immortal Realm, it simply didn't have the conditions for such an alliance!
If they can't even join forces, what's the point of arguing?

Isn't this just like a couple imagining how they'd spend their lottery winnings, only to argue and end up getting divorced?

Since there are already many humans in the Great Wilderness Palace, even if a few scattered soldiers from the Immortal Realm come to the Great Wilderness Palace, the Great Wilderness Palace will take them in. After all, a few scattered soldiers don't mean anything or change anything. This is also why Lin Chen was treated kindly when he entered the Great Wilderness Palace alone before.

However, Lin Chen has now deployed the entire Third Squad, which is a complete Immortal Realm army. Although the number of people is indeed small and cannot be compared with a legion, they are different from scattered defeated soldiers.

Under such circumstances, would they still be warmly received by the Great Wilderness Palace and happily join forces?
Are they worried about angering the Demon Emperor and being afraid to accept the three squads, or even targeting them?
Qi Shouzhen frowned, his tone slightly cold: "Regardless of the Palace Master's final decision, based on your four battles today, my Great Wilderness Palace will naturally treat you all as guests, and there is no need to worry about your safety."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's good. I also want to meet the Palace Master of the Great Wilderness Palace and have a chat with him in person."

Qi Shouzhen waved his hand and said, "Zhou Wu, take them back to the Great Wilderness Palace."

Zhou Wu accepted the order: "Yes!"

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the murderous Great Wilderness Palace army in the distance, and he asked, "General Qi, are you preparing to continue attacking the key points of the enemy's defensive line?"

Qi Shouzhen nodded: "You have already torn a big hole in the defense line. Whether you are human or barbarian, this debt will definitely be placed on the Great Wilderness Palace. Since we've already started fighting, let's tear this defense line apart completely!"

"Our Great Wilderness Palace has been keeping a low profile for so long, waiting for an opportunity. Now is the perfect time to show our strength, so that the Demon God Palace won't think we're easy to bully!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. Judging from this tone, the Great Wilderness Palace seemed to be much stronger than it appeared on the surface.

Show weakness to the enemy?

Now that the Demon God Palace and the Immortal Realm are locked in a fierce battle, the Demon Realm is short of troops. Therefore, the Great Wilderness Palace is preparing to reveal its long-hidden fangs and give the Demon God Palace a hard blow.

Did the actions of the three squads today become the fuse?
