The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3057 Is it that they can't leave, or that they don't want to leave?

"Dawn Camp?"

Shangguan Wenyin laughed and said, "Have we been incorporated into the Great Wilderness Palace?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, from now on we are native people of the wilderness. We are the descendants of the eighteen ancestors and one of the armies that the Great Wilderness Palace has been cultivating in recent years. Our unit is called the Dawn Battalion."

"We report directly to the Palace Master, obey his orders, fight alongside the Wildlings, and may also receive some special missions. In short, this will be our new home for the time being."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they had been hiding in the Seven Wonders Palace, they were uneasy, after all, being in the Demon Realm meant that danger lurked everywhere.

Now we've finally found a place to stay. With the Great Wilderness Palace as our shelter, we no longer have to feel so uneasy. At least we don't have to worry about being wiped out by the Sage.

It must be said that sages are truly too powerful. The actual gap between sages and those below them is a chasm that cannot be bridged by simply adding more people together.

The Great Wilderness Palace occupies a corner of the Black Heaven Demon Realm, while the power of the Demon God Temple is many times greater than that of the Great Wilderness Palace. If the Demon God Temple were to truly destroy the Great Wilderness Palace, it might only need to exert a fraction of its power, and with a casual strike, the Great Wilderness Palace would be reduced to ashes.

Why doesn't the Demon Temple do that?
It's all because there's a Great Wilderness Sage in the Great Wilderness Palace!

If the Great Wilderness Palace is completely wiped out, and the Great Wilderness Saint comes out in a fit of rage, then the entire Demon Realm will probably be filled with bloodshed, and the Demon Domain might even be shattered!

In the war between the realms of immortals and demons, millions of humans and demons fought on the battlefield. In the end, however, the scales of victory tipped directly in favor of the demons because the demons gained a minor demon emperor named Cheng Tuo.

The power of a sage is truly terrifying!
Lin Chen casually pulled up a chair in the center of the barracks and sat down. He turned to look at Bai Manmei, who had been obediently following him, and smiled, "What do you say?"

Without hesitation, Bai Manmei knelt on one knee, cupped her hands in a salute, and said, "Please spare my life. I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse, and I will definitely prove my worth!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You can be my personal bodyguard for now."

Bai Manmei breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully replied, "Yes!"

Bai Manmei is quite strong. Anyway, her life is under Lin Chen's control, so he's not afraid of her doing anything reckless.

Moreover, Lin Chen might still be traveling in the Demon Realm, and having a high-ranking demon from the Mercenary Association by his side could reduce a lot of trouble.

After everyone was settled, Lin Chen went alone to the main hall where the human race lived once again.

Qi Tian remained lying on his recliner, holding an ancient book in his hand, engrossed in reading it.

Lin Chen walked up to Qi Tian and bowed respectfully: "Senior!"

Qi Tian looked up, saw Lin Chen, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You're quite capable. I misjudged you..."

Lin Chen smiled and apologized, "I hid my identity before because the demons were nearby and they knew my name. Please forgive me, senior."

Qi Tian put down his book, reached out, and a chair appeared in front of Lin Chen: "Sit down and talk."

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony; after thanking him, he sat down neatly and efficiently.

Qi Tian laughed and asked, "Who are you?"

Lin Chen replied, "Captain of the Third Squad, Ninth Battalion, First Legion of the War God's Mansion."

Qi Tian frowned and asked, "Squad leader? Those demons shouldn't have gone to the battlefield, so how do they know your name?" Lin Chen explained, including how he disrupted the demons' teleportation plan and how he became famous on the battlefield.

Qi Tian looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "So, you are a great hero of the Immortal Realm. If their plan succeeds, the Immortal Realm will be thrown into chaos, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "This shows that Heaven is still on the side of humanity."

Qi Tian sighed, "No wonder you're hiding your identity. If this gets out, a quasi-saint from the demon race will surely come to kill you..."

Lin Chen replied, "I've already captured everyone who knows the inside story. Even if some demons find out about this in the future, I'll just be considered someone with the same name, since I'm now a native of the Wilderness!"

Qi Tian asked, "What did you come to ask me?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I just wanted to inquire about the Eighteen Ancestors. I might visit one of them later."

Qi Tian stared at Lin Chen: "Who?"

Lin Chen replied, "Lü Shuyi."

Qi Tian rubbed his chin: "You have a relationship with her?"

Lin Chen explained, "There is a senior who was a good friend of her former Daoist partner. I was asked by the senior to visit her and ask her some questions."

Qi Tian thought for a moment: "Her Daoist partner? Huo Tianyu?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Huo Tianyu was the former owner of the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Mirror and an old friend of Master Taixu.

Before Qi Tian could ask, Lin Chen added, "The senior who entrusted me with this task is Master Taixu. I wonder if Senior Qi has heard of him?"

"He."

Qi Tian nodded: "Of course I've heard of him. Back then, besides Mei Mingzhi, he was the most famous for his spatial teleportation skills. It's said that they considered having him lead the team, but Mei Mingzhi said the trip was dangerous and took the initiative to take on the mission... How is he now?"

Mei Mingzhi was the senior who led the team into the Demon Realm to investigate. He was skilled in spatial crossing, and Master Taixu once said that Mei Mingzhi's expertise in spatial crossing was no less than his own.

When Master Taixu said this, ten or twenty thousand years had passed. He was probably comparing Mei Mingzhi now with Mei Mingzhi back then, which suggests that Mei Mingzhi was probably stronger at that time.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "He is a famous spatial master in the Immortal Realm, a top figure among Quasi-Saints. He also participated in this battle, but I don't know his current situation. At that time, the Demon Flame Devouring Heaven Formation disrupted everyone's plans."

Qi Tian sighed, "No matter how powerful a Quasi-Saint is, when facing a Saint, there is only one path: defeat and death. Being more powerful only gives you more ability to escape."

Qi Tian sighed, "Back then, when the eighteen of us broke through the Immortal-Demon Passage, we were immediately attacked by many powerful figures in the camp. Fortunately, Mei Mingzhi was prepared and led us to break through space and escape."

"No matter how strong an individual is, they all seem insignificant in the context of the war between immortals and demons. We have tried many ways, but we still cannot return. With the immortal-demon passage open, although the two realms are connected, they must pass through the immortal-demon passage. Spatial crossing cannot bypass the spatial passage."

Qi Tian paused for a moment: "I'm also very curious about how the Demon Realm sent people to the Immortal Realm before the Immortal-Demon Passage was opened. I might try to find out if I get the chance. If I figure it out, maybe we can bypass the Immortal-Demon Passage and go directly back to the Immortal Realm."

Lin Chen nodded: "I will be careful. If there is a chance, would you like to travel together, senior?"

Qi Tian was silent for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly and said, "I guess we can't leave..."

Lin Chen frowned and asked softly, "Is it that you can't leave, or that you don't want to leave?"
