The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3353 Enchantress Lord, is that you?

News of the Sacred Heart Immortal Realm's great victory quickly reached the Crimson Immortal Realm's military camp, where cheers erupted.

For the first time, everyone truly saw the hope of victory.

Later, more detailed information came in: what brought about this change was several kryptonite stones known as cosmic stones, which Lin Chen and Qingluan Immortal Lord had brought back from the depths of the universe.

Lin Chen!

It's Lin Chen again!

Most people subconsciously overlooked the name of Qingluan Immortal Lord. There's nothing they can do about it; after all, he is the Immortal Emperor's personal disciple, high above everyone else. Even if he did something like this, it doesn't seem like anything shocking.

On the contrary, Lin Chen, the little killing god who fought and grew alongside everyone and gradually became a quasi-saint, made everyone feel more familiar and real.

Lin Chen remained very humble in the face of the crowd who came to offer their congratulations and ask questions.

"I brought back the kryptonite with Qingluan Immortal Lord. I only assisted him; the credit went to Qingluan Immortal Lord..."

"Really, my job is just to get things moving. Well, I'm basically a coachman, taking Qingluan Immortal Lord to his destination and then bringing him back."

"I have a special ability to travel quickly, which is why this task fell to me. Otherwise, with so many experts, how could it have been my turn?"

"I can't compare to the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord. Who knows, he might become a saint someday."

Lin Chen's humility made everyone admire and like him even more, and they felt a sense of pride and excitement.

Lin Chen was also very happy; this war, which had previously seemed hopeless, was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

In the previous battle, countless immortals died. If the abyss demons cannot be contained, then it will not only be immortals who die in the future, but also countless billions of ordinary people will be killed by the abyss demons. That will be a catastrophe for both the immortal and demon realms.

Now, six of the eight lords have died in one fell swoop, and the saints have also gained the ability to destroy the purple crystal pillar base at will. Victory is just around the corner.

Surely the Lord of the Abyss can't just descend directly, right?
If he could, he would have arrived long ago. Why let a group of lords fight there for so long? He could have just arrived to suppress all the saints, eliminate all the quasi-saints, and then expanded continuously, devouring everything in his path.

Overall, it was good news, but Lin Chen felt a bit worried deep down, though he couldn't tell anyone about it.

If the war ends just like that, and there's no more pressure, will the number of spots in the Land of Opportunity change?

Lin Chen suppressed his worries and continued to help the Great Luo Peak cultivators he was visiting, offering advice to the right people, guiding them into the Dao, and then selecting suitable individuals for observation.

After witnessing the breakthrough and enlightenment once again, Gu Yuexi had her own unique insights. With further contemplation, she might be able to attempt to break through to the next realm.

Although Shang Wenyan is a little behind Gu Yuexi in terms of progress, as a water-attribute person, she has also received guidance from Lin Chen. After two rounds of observation and guidance, she has also reached the threshold.

Compared to Gu Yuexi and Shang Wenyan's rapid progress, Yao Xuanji's progress was slower, after all, her innate supernatural power was not on the same level as Lin Chen's.

Simply put, Lin Chen wasn't familiar with the subject, so he couldn't guide Yao Xuanji step by step like he did with Gu Yuexi and Shang Wenyan. However, even so, Yao Xuanji still gained a lot and made great progress.

With the battle going smoothly at the front and his wives safe, Lin Chen was naturally at ease back home.

Just as he was happily practicing with his three wives, a guest suddenly arrived at the camp.

Chen Shimei.

Lin Chen was quite surprised to see Chen Shimei at his door. "Fellow Daoist Chen, what brings you back?"

Chen Shimei smiled and said, "I was ordered to come back to take care of some business. I heard you were here, so I came to pay you a visit."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Is everything alright at the front lines?"

Chen Shimei smiled nonchalantly: "You don't want to ask about the front lines, but rather about your wives, right?"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I'm not worried at all. After all, the front lines have won a victory, so they're naturally fine."

Chen Shimei smiled and said, "That's true. However, since they knew I was coming back, they asked me to bring them something."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Then I'll have to trouble you. What is it?"

Chen Shimei replied, "It's not convenient to display this here. How about we find a quiet, secluded place?"

Seeing Chen Shimei acting mysteriously, Lin Chen's curiosity was piqued.

What is it that they asked Chen Shimei to bring to them, and why is it inconvenient to expose it in the camp?

"Okay, let's go somewhere else."

Lin Chen readily agreed and led Chen Shimei out of the camp. The two transformed into streaks of light and quickly disappeared into the distance. In the blink of an eye, they were already tens of thousands of miles away.

Lin Chen stopped amidst towering mountains, looked around, and chuckled, "There's no one around here, and we're thousands of miles from the camp. Even if we make any noise, no one will notice..."

Chen Shimei looked around and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "This place is indeed nice. Okay, let me get it for you. Hmm, just to be safe, I'll add a barrier to cover it up."

Chen Shimei took out an object from her spatial ring, pointed at it with her finger, and the object floated up, its light scattering outwards and instantly enveloping the area within a hundred miles, forming a barrier like a purple sphere.

Lin Chen looked at the suddenly appearing barrier and the familiar purple color, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

He had seen this kind of barrier before!
Previously, when Seven-Colored Immortal Lord was captured by the Enchantress Lord and taken to the headquarters of the Abyss Demons, the sky barrier that Lin Chen saw when he escaped looked like this!
Lin Chen's gaze fell upon the object emitting light, which then floated up, revealing its outline.

A purple crystal.

Lin Chen's mind went blank for a moment, as if an invisible string had been touched.

He put his hands behind his back and laughed, "This barrier looks pretty good."

As he spoke, he took out the Immortal Emperor's Token and held it in his right hand, while his left palm held the blood-red bead given by the Great Wilderness Sage, and his fingers held the leaf containing supernatural power given by the Primordial Sage.

Lin Chen's actions didn't seem to escape Chen Shimei's notice, but she didn't stop him. Instead, she looked at Lin Chen with a smile: "You seem very nervous?"

Lin Chen's eyelids nearly twitched wildly, but he said casually, "I'm just curious, what needs to be kept so secret, as if afraid of being seen..."

Chen Shimei stared at Lin Chen, her gaze fixed and shifting, filled with undisguised hatred.

"Judging from your guarded expression and tense body, have you already recognized me?"

Lin Chen sighed: "I am just an insignificant nobody in the Immortal Demon Army. Everything I have done is just to survive. If you want revenge, you should go to the Five Saints. What use is it for you to come to me? Even if you kill me, the current situation will not change. Don't you agree, Lord Enchantress?"
