The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3384 Losing on one front, gaining on another

"Yes, for example, I hide my wives in the Dao Cauldron, enter it, and then release them."

Mu Tianjun laughed and said, "I advise you not to do this if you don't want to lose your loved ones."

Lin Chen was startled: "What will happen?"

Mu Tianjun suppressed his smile: "The Emperor once tried it. Only life forms that enter through the entrance of the Land of Opportunity can survive and move normally in that star field. Once other life forms appear, they will be instantly killed by the powerful force."

"When the Emperor entered, there happened to be a demonic dragon in the magic treasure whose strength was comparable to that of a quasi-saint. The Emperor released the demonic dragon, and the demonic dragon instantly exploded and died."

"The Emperor said that there are rules in that star field. Once those rules are violated, even a saint will not escape death. So you must not think about doing anything underhanded, lest you regret it for the rest of your life."

Even saints cannot escape death?
Lin Chen was secretly shocked. If that was the case, then if he had the chance to enter the Land of Opportunities, he would not be able to summon any helpers, let alone Chu Jiaxue and the others, and he would not even be able to summon the Enchantress Lord.

In that case, I'll have to rely on myself.

He was not afraid of the Burning Sea Immortal Lord, but while he might be able to defeat him, killing him would be too difficult.

If I were to attack him but fail to kill him, I would probably have to flee into space after I emerge.

Regardless of whether Ran Hai becomes a saint or not, if he wants to kill him, the Immortal Emperor will not allow him to live.

Trouble!
Lin Chen had originally planned to secretly capture Ran Hai before the place of opportunity opened, but now he had gone to the Immortal Emperor and was not coming back. When they met again, dozens of Quasi-Saints would be gathered together, and Lin Chen would probably not have a chance to make a move then.

Fortunately, he and the Burning Sea Immortal Lord are not enemies yet. The Immortal Lord is unaware that he possesses the Exquisite Pagoda and that he intends to cause trouble for him. Therefore, barring the factor of the Starry Sky Jump, the Immortal Lord will not attack him.

We'll just have to take it one step at a time.

"When to set off?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "We're currently gathering people. They were all scattered before, and they can't get back as quickly as you..."

Lin Chen chuckled: "So that means I'm still ahead of the pack."

Mu Tianjun chuckled and said, "That's right, I contacted you as soon as I finalized the list."

Lin Chen cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your care, Palace Master!"

Mu Tianjun stared at Lin Chen and said with great emotion, "Although I didn't witness your previous growth, I have watched you grow step by step since you became a Great Luo Immortal. You haven't had much time along the way, but you have experienced quite a few twists and turns."

“I always felt that you were destined to be with the Temple of War, so I brought you here. It turns out you really did something great. If it weren’t for you finding the Kryptonite, we would have had a hard time gaining the upper hand in this great battle and would probably have only suffered defeats.”

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I was just a gofer for Qingluan Immortal Lord's achievement."

Mu Tianjun rolled his eyes at Lin Chen: "Qingluan Immortal Lord is gone, he's probably in grave danger. Don't talk nonsense. Others may not know you, but I know you well enough."

Lin Chen said gratefully, "Thank you, Palace Master. Actually, when I came here, I was wanted by the Pantheon and had nowhere to go. It was thanks to the Palace Master that I was taken in and supported, which allowed me to stay here safely, and then all the things that followed happened." "My growth and contributions along the way are entirely inseparable from the Palace Master. No matter how the Immortal Lords or the Emperors view me, I am always grateful to the Palace Master."

Mu Tianjun nodded: "You are a loyal and righteous person, passionate but not pedantic, smart but humble. I hope you can give me another surprise at this place of opportunity. If you can really succeed, then I will have to rely on you for help in the future."

Lin Chen said modestly, "Palace Master, you're speaking too soon. Whether you can get in or not is another matter. Besides, Palace Master, you're going to participate too. Maybe this time you'll finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and ascend to immortality on the spot?"

Mu Tianjun shook his head and sighed: "I did a divination for myself once, and the result wasn't good. I reckon that even if I can get in, I'll probably be out of luck with this Great Dao. The word 'fate' is too mysterious."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Does the Palace Master also enjoy divination to inquire about his future? How accurate are the Palace Master's divinations?"

Although Lin Chen still respected Mu Tianjun and regarded him as a senior, the two of them were much freer in their interactions and conversations than before.

Mu Tianjun stared at Lin Chen, his gaze subtle: "I was thinking about what I had a premonition when I met you before, and considering what you've done all along, I couldn't help but do another divination for you."

Lin Chen looked at the Palace Master in surprise. He hadn't expected that Mu Tianjun cared so much about him and had even performed a divination for him.

"I've heard that this kind of divination comes at a price. The temple master is really kind to me..."

Mu Tianjun laughed and said, "If you want to do it, then do it. There will be a small price to pay, but no one will die anyway."

Lin Chen noticed the way Mu Tianjun was looking at him and asked curiously, "Palace Master, the way you're looking at me makes me a little uneasy. What was the result of the divination? Was it auspicious or inauspicious? Can you tell me?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "What is lost on one front is gained on another."

Lin Chen blinked: "What does this mean?"

"This is the result of the divination; it means exactly what it says."

Mu Tianjun replied, "If you ask me what it specifically indicates, I don't know. After all, it's just divination. If I could see the future directly, wouldn't I be calculating it for myself every day?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment: "Losing something on one side and gaining something on another, the original meaning is to suffer a loss or failure at this time and place, but to gain or succeed at another time and place. Losing something and gaining something, just looking at it this way, doesn't seem too bad, right?"

Mu Tianjun nodded: "It's not bad at all. I did a divination for you to see if you could find the Great Dao and become a saint in the land of opportunity, and this is the result. I have no way of knowing what you have gained or lost."

Lin Chen thought about it but still couldn't figure it out. After all, divination and fortune-telling are mysterious and profound. As Mu Tianjun said, they can't let you see the accurate future. Perhaps only after it actually happens will you suddenly realize what it means.

"Who cares? As long as we go in safely and come out safely, and don't lose our lives inside, that's good enough."

Mu Tianjun chuckled: "You're right to think that way. Anyway, just do your best. This divination indicates that you will lose first but gain later. Maybe it means that there will be twists and turns in the process, but the result will be good?"

Lin Chen shrugged: "I hope so."

As Lin Chen spoke to Mu Tianjun, he suddenly remembered that he had entered the Land of Opportunities not only to find the Great Dao Opportunity himself, but also to prevent Ran Hai Xianjun from obtaining it and to rescue Gu Yue from his clutches.

Is this divination result related to the two of them?
