The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3398 Getting burned
After Lin Chen relayed the order, the Phoenix Hairpin was completely subdued in just a few dozen breaths.

Lin Chen entered the Linglong Tower and saw the phoenix hairpin neatly placed on the table.

Although the phantom image on the phoenix hairpin was still there, it no longer had the fierce and irritable appearance it once had; instead, it resembled a tiger that had been drugged.

Qi stood in front of the table, looking at the illusory image on the phoenix hairpin, her expression complicated.

Lin Chen asked, "Sister Qi, did you figure something out?"

Qi raised her head, her eyes shining, and said, "This is the first time I've seen such a magical artifact. It's an ingenious fusion technique..."

Lin Chen's knowledge was far inferior to Qi's, so he immediately asked, "What does the method of fusion mean?"

Qi replied, "By fusing the spirits of demonic beasts with magical artifacts, they can be considered artifact spirits in a way, but unlike me, they are not complete entities."

After pondering for a moment, Qi continued, "These spirits are pure energy bodies, similar to the primordial spirit of cultivators. However, much of their original consciousness has been erased, leaving only their fighting instincts."

"Although I don't know how they did it, the presence of a demon beast's spirit on a magical artifact greatly increases its power. Could it be that all the magical artifacts of the entire Celestial Clan are crafted in this way?"

Lin Chen thought about the magical treasures that the three Celestial Clan trial participants he had seen had brought out. Apart from the golden ring that the cold and beautiful woman brought out last, which did not have a demonic spirit image on it, all the other magical treasures, such as the ancient hairpin, the small sword, the phoenix hairpin, and the dragon turtle shield, had demonic spirit images on them.

The golden ring that can collect and transfer the opponent's attack elsewhere either has no demonic phantom image, or it was not released.

When these magical artifacts are not activated, the demonic spirits reside and lie dormant within them. They only emerge when the controller activates them for battle.

"Can we communicate?"

Sister Qi shook her head: "No, they only have the instinct to fight left now. They can't communicate normally with people. From the perspective of intelligence, these demon beasts died the moment they were refined into demon spirits. All that's left is the instinct to fight."

Lin Chen said with great regret, "I was hoping to suppress it and then glean some information from this demon spirit."

He glanced at the phoenix hairpin lying on the table: "Can the connection between the phoenix hairpin and the other party be completely severed?"

Sister Qi shook her head again: "I've tried, but it doesn't work. The other party isn't bound to this hairpin, but to the demon spirit on the hairpin. The demon spirit and the hairpin are now one, inseparable."

"Eliminating the demon spirit means that although this hairpin is a very powerful magic weapon, without the demon spirit, it is just powerful. As for the spiritual binding on the demon spirit, it can only be broken if the demon spirit actively removes the binding or dies."

Lin Chen praised, "This method is ingenious; it can prevent one's magic treasures from being stolen and used by others."

Qi smiled and looked at Lin Chen: "It is indeed very ingenious, but you can only look at it. You can't use this thing."

Although Lin Chen was somewhat disappointed, he wasn't exactly frustrated. After all, the other party was a Celestial Race member, a ruler of the universe. It was only natural that he would have some amazing abilities.

"Alright, let's leave it here then. Who knows, we might run into that woman again someday and we can negotiate. Wouldn't that come in handy then?"

Lin Chen concluded, "The enemy we're facing this time is too strong. We might have to use the Linglong Pagoda. You'll have to cooperate with me to suppress the enemy. As long as we can trap them inside the pagoda, with the Enchantress Lord there, no matter who enters the pagoda, they'll only face certain death."

Qi readily agreed: "I will fully cooperate with you."

Lin Chen said, "We don't know where Immortal Lord Ranhai has gone, but since the Celestial Clan is undergoing trials there, they must be more familiar with the rules of the Great Dao opportunity. Immortal Lord Ranhai may not have it so easy, and we still have a chance."

Qi's eyes were full of expectation: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Qi followed Lin Chen all the way. In order to help Qi find her former master Gu Yue, Lin Chen even kidnapped the Immortal Emperor's personal disciple. However, after kidnapping him, he realized that he had kidnapped the wrong person and was now preparing to kidnap him again.

Qi was very grateful to Lin Chen.

Originally, it was thought that it might take thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years to get a result, but in just over a hundred years, Lin Chen found out the truth for Qi.

As soon as Lin Chen left the Linglong Tower, he saw Sun Yixiao waiting anxiously outside, and immediately told him what he knew.

Sun Yixiao exclaimed, "The title of the ruler of the universe is well-deserved. His skill in refining demon spirit fusion magic treasures alone is truly astounding."

"Let's go. Since the demon spirits can't speak and we can't communicate, let's go capture a Celestial God. As long as we capture one alive, we'll know everything." Sun Yixiao looked at Lin Chen and gave him a thumbs up: "You're really awesome!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I had no choice. They saw us as prey. Even wild animals have to fight back when they are about to be captured and killed."

Following the guidance of Sun Yixiao's magic weapon, the two headed towards the sea of ​​stars.

This departure lasted for a month.

During this month, Lin Chen and his group took many detours, but fortunately, Lin Chen left coordinates along the way. If they went the wrong way, they would use Star Teleportation to return to the previous coordinates and explore again.

The signs of battle are becoming increasingly clear, and there are more and more remnants in the starry sky.

On this day, as the two continued their journey along the broken traces, three beams of light suddenly appeared in the starry sky and rushed towards them.

Three!

Judging by their appearance, they are the Celestials!

Lin Chen originally wanted to turn around and run away, but thinking of the large group of cosmic ghosts he had just encountered, he had a sudden thought and directly summoned the Linglong Pagoda.

"Are you just going to run away? Be careful."

After Sun Yixiao entered the tower, Lin Chen flew up and ran away.

The three beams of light chased straight towards Lin Chen at an incredibly fast speed.

Lin Chen ignored them and flew straight ahead, even letting them get closer and closer.

Just as they approached Lin Chen from behind, a large group of cosmic ghosts appeared in front of them.

As soon as Lin Chen turned the corner, he rushed towards those cosmic ghosts.

The three Celestial Clan men were about to catch up with Lin Chen when they saw him rushing haphazardly towards the distant Cosmic Ghost, and they hesitated.

"Is this kid crazy?"

"He's trying to scare us away with those cosmic ghosts!"

"Screw running! He's ahead of us. If anyone's going to die, it'll be him. Keep chasing!"

"Our speed is such that even a cosmic ghost couldn't catch up with us. What are we afraid of? Keep going!"

"He wants to die, so let him have that wish!"

Three beams of light accelerated toward Lin Chen, and by this time they had already reached the front of the large group of cosmic ghosts.

The cosmic ghosts ahead had sensed Lin Chen's presence and transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards him.

Lin Chen stopped and turned around to launch a powerful attack on the three people chasing after him.

The man among the three summoned a shield and stood in front of them.

"boom!"

The violent energy crashed into the shield, causing it to explode violently, and terrifying energy waves instantly radiated outwards in all directions.

Those distant cosmic ghosts all sensed the presence of living beings and instantly transformed into streaks of light, like dark currents, rushing rapidly towards the four.
