The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3407 Controlling one isn't enough, we need to capture more!
Baiyun Xingjun's suggestion to capture a prisoner clearly indicated that he had no intention of traveling with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was only right to help Baiyun Xingjun fight after he had encountered him by chance, since Baiyun Xingjun had helped Lin Chen a lot. But if they were to travel together, and he were to be lucky enough to get the Great Dao Spirit in the end, who would get it?

Will they turn against each other and fight for control of the spirit of the Great Dao?

That would be too ugly.

Therefore, the best approach is to act separately, each relying on their own methods, and leave the outcome to fate.

Moreover, it's best to keep Lin Chen's possession of the Linglong Pagoda a secret as much as possible. Not only is the Linglong Pagoda itself a sensitive topic, but it also houses the Enchantress Lord and even the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord, whom he had captured.

These are all things that absolutely cannot be exposed. Even the legendary thief Sun Yixiao only takes him in when he is in danger and escaping for his life, and then quickly releases him to prevent him from discovering anything if he stays too long.

After exchanging the information they had, Bai Yuxingjun smiled and said, "You go first, I'll take a look around. If I can successfully capture a prisoner, I'll also go and take a look. If I can't capture a prisoner, then I won't go and join the fun. After all, there are quite a few Celestial Trialists in there, so you must be careful if you go."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's alright. As long as I don't run into Huo Ling Shuang, I'll run away as soon as things go wrong. There shouldn't be any major problems."

Baiyu Xingjun laughed and said, "That's right. You have Star Jump, which basically puts you in an invincible position. Well then, good luck."

"Please be careful, senior!"

Bai Yuxingjun left gracefully, and Sun Yixiao turned to Lin Chen and asked, "Bai Yuxingjun is very powerful, why didn't you invite him to team up?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The fewer people who know about the Linglong Pagoda, the better. Besides, Baiyu Xingjun has been kind to me. If we go together and I happen to obtain the Dao Spirit, should I give it to him or keep it for myself?"

Sun Yixiao smiled wryly: "That's true. With the opportunity to break through to the Saint realm right in front of you, who would dare say they wouldn't be tempted?"

After a pause, Sun Yixiao asked, "What about me? Aren't you worried if I come with you?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I don't owe you any favors, so it's easier for me."

Sun Yixiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and his face darkened: "So you think you can stab me in the back just because I don't owe you a favor?"

Lin Chen and Sun Yixiao had helped each other once before, which was considered an exchange, so Lin Chen didn't owe Sun Yixiao any favors. Since he didn't owe any favors, he naturally had no psychological burden in doing anything.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Senior, I never said that. You owe me your life now. What's wrong with helping me? When have I ever run away without taking you with me? Besides, if something really happens, you'll be the one to attack me. In that situation, how can you blame me for attacking you?"

Sun Yixiao was speechless.

Lin Chen was telling the truth. He owed Bai Yuxingjun a favor, but not him. On the contrary, Bai Yuxingjun owed Lin Chen his life.

He can only play a supporting role with Lin Chen now, after all, his combat power is really average and can't compare with someone like Lin Chen who is at the peak of Quasi-Saint. If there is anything he gains, it should definitely be Lin Chen's.

If I were to take something that didn't originally belong to me, then it would be perfectly reasonable for Lin Chen to take it from me.

Sun Yixiao muttered, "You're just bullying this old man!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If that's what you mean, senior, then let's part ways. As long as you remember your vow and don't reveal anything about the Linglong Pagoda, that's fine."

Sun Yixiao quickly shook his head: "No, no, I'll stay with you. I don't dare to think about the spirit of the Great Dao. I just want to go back safely. With you, the chances of survival are greater." After a pause, Sun Yixiao added: "Don't call me senior anymore. On the path of immortality, the strong are respected. Just call me Old Sun."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Alright, we're partners now, so I'll call you Old Zhao, it'll be more intimate."

Sun Yixiao rolled his eyes: "What do we do now?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Now that we know the location of the training grounds, we should go and take a look."

Sun Yixiao asked, "Should we have You Kun show up while we hide inside the Linglong Tower?"

Lin Chen nodded: "That's right. If possible, we can capture a few more prisoners. Anyway, there's no limit to the number of people we can control by using various methods."

Sun Yixiao's eyes widened: "You want to catch more?"

"Isn't that great?"

Lin Chen replied confidently, "With just You Kun, how could he possibly compete with those prodigies? Even if we went in, we could only watch and wouldn't dare to make a move. The more people we control, the safer we will be. If we can control one or two exceptional trial participants, such as Tuoba Peng or Huo Ling Shuang, then we will have the confidence to sit in the Linglong Tower and forcefully seize the Great Dao Spirit!"

Sun Yixiao stared in disbelief. After a long while, he gave her a thumbs up: "You've got guts!"

Lin Chen sneered, "They see us as prey, despise us, and hunt us at will. How can we just sit and wait to die? We have to show them our fangs. Do they really think we 'lower people' have no temper?"

Sun Yixiao looked at the confident Lin Chen, and felt a strange feeling for a moment.

After learning about the origins of this star field and the truth about the Celestial Race, he immediately gave up his plan to compete for the Great Dao opportunity. After all, he had almost lost his life before, let alone go to the trial grounds where powerful people gathered.

Lin Chen's decision was the opposite of his. He was ambitious and prepared to make a big splash by hunting down those Celestial Trialists. He was really audacious!

Lin Chen smiled and explained, "Huo Ling Shuang has the Anti-Air Magic Orb, and I have the Linglong Pagoda. Once the Linglong Pagoda suppresses a region, it can achieve the same effect as the Anti-Air Magic Orb, or even be stronger. Now that we have You Kun, the difficulty of capturing other people has been greatly reduced."

"Although these trial participants compete with each other, they are all ultimately members of the Celestial Race. Their wariness will never be stronger than when they are facing us. A little carelessness will be enough for us."

“Once we capture and subdue the person, we will hide them in the Linglong Pagoda. When we discover our opponent, we will lure them close to the Linglong Pagoda to suppress them. Then we will release the other captured trial participants. We won’t even need to show our faces; they will help us take down the opponent.”

"Given enough time, we will definitely be able to control enough people. With them protecting us, even if we don't find the great path to enlightenment, our own safety will be absolutely guaranteed."

After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, Sun Yixiao couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Believe it or not, this method actually works!

It must be said that Lin Chen not only dares to think, but also has a lot of courage.

"Then do it!"

Sun Yixiao's eyes gradually hardened: "I also want to see the expressions on the faces of those self-important Celestial Race trial participants when they are controlled and enslaved..."
