The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3412 Snowballing? You're overthinking it.

Wu Kun's heart skipped a beat, because with just one glance, he realized that neither the two men nor the woman were from the Celestial God Clan!
Although they are similar to the Celestials, they do not have the unique amethyst mark between their eyebrows, nor do they have the distinctive pointed ears.

Wu Kun turned his head and glared at You Kun: "You Kun, you framed me!"

You Kun cupped his hands in greeting and said with a wry smile, "I had no choice in the matter, so please forgive me. Besides, you were already at your breaking point, weren't you? Although I was indeed putting you in a difficult position, in other words, I was also saving you."

Wu Kun pointed at the three people opposite him and asked, "Who are they?"

You Kun replied, "They are cultivators from the lower realm. They call themselves humans. I was captured by them and am under their control. Simply put, I am their slave, so don't blame me."

Wu Kun's eyes widened in shock.

The purpose of the Celestial Trialers was to conduct trials and hunt, but now the Trialers have not only failed to capture these human cultivators, but have also fallen into the hands of the other side and become their slaves.

Go against Tiangang!

Wu Kun stared warily at Lin Chen: "So now you also want to capture me and make me your slave, is that right?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, as you can see, the Celestial Race is swarming in the training grounds. If we show up rashly, we will be surrounded and killed immediately. No matter how strong I am, I am no match for you. So, I have no choice but to ask you for help."

Wu Kun gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't agree, what will you do?"

Lin Chen readily replied, "If you don't agree, then I will naturally have no choice but to kill you. After all, if you don't cooperate, I have no way to control the amethyst mark and thus control your life."

“Your Celestial Race are the rulers of the universe, and you have high aspirations. You look down on us so-called cultivators from the lower realms. I can understand that, and I respect your choice. If you don’t want to become our slaves, then die with your heads held high.”

Lin Chen spoke frankly, and Wu Kun was sweating profusely.

Who wants to die?
Indeed, they were the noble Celestial Race, and they looked down on cultivators from the lower realms. In their eyes, no matter how powerful those cultivators were, they were nothing more than slaves of the Celestial Race. To make them slaves to others was a great humiliation.

But despite the humiliation, I'm still alive!
Wu Kun diligently gathered his spiritual power and quietly took out the token.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "There's no need to be secretive. You can try it openly. Whatever methods you have, you can try them. I won't stop you. If you have the ability to escape, then that's your luck."

Wu Kun's eyes widened. Holy crap, so arrogant?

Although Wu Kun knew that the other party must have been confident to say that, he still had to give it a try.

He channeled his spiritual energy into the token, and it lit up, but no portal appeared.

Space Forbidden!

Wu Kun felt an overwhelming sense of despair. The previous trial grounds were already forbidden areas, and now this magic weapon also possessed the ability to restrict space. Wasn't this a double spatial restriction?

What kind of message is this supposed to convey?!
They're doomed!

Clinging to a last shred of hope, Wu Kun pulled out a teleportation talisman from the Celestial Race and vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second, Wu Kun appeared in the sky above the empty valley. There was no one around, but it was clear that this place was still the space inside the tower.

He did not escape.

Before he could decide what to do next, Lin Chen's figure suddenly appeared opposite him.

Lin Chen didn't make a move; he just watched him with a smile.

Wu Kun was in despair.

This magical artifact is so wondrous, containing a world within it, and so vast; it's clear it's anything but ordinary. Lin Chen appearing before him in an instant already proves his power.

No need to fight!
Wu Kun gritted his teeth and asked, "What do I need to do to become your slave?"

Lin Chen replied, "Continue to overcome the challenges and seize the Great Dao Spirit for me. Don't worry, I will accompany you through the challenges from now on, and you won't have to work as hard as before."

Wu Kun pressed further, "If I don't obtain the Spirit of the Great Dao, can you let me leave after five years?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I will not kill you, but I will not let you leave after five years. I am afraid of bringing great disaster to myself and the Immortal Realm. I may not be able to go to the Heavenly God Realm, but you may have a way to come to us."

Wu Kun understood; Lin Chen was worried that things would be exposed and lead to retaliation.

If a few powerful beings from the Celestial Race were to arrive, how could the lower realm where he lived possibly withstand them?

Wu Kun gritted his teeth and said, "I can swear a blood oath to the gods that I will not reveal a single piece of your information!"

Lin Chen shook his head again: "No way!"

Wu Kun was in despair.

There's absolutely no room for negotiation!
Lin Chen calmly looked at Wu Kun: "If I fell into your hands, I don't think you would give me any chance to negotiate. After all, in your eyes, we are just slaves to be sold..."

Wu Kun was speechless, because what Lin Chen said was true.

"Fine, I surrender. I'm willing to submit to you!"

Wu Kun hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately chose to give in. After all, who would want to die if they could live?

Although he was strong enough and was a Quasi-Saint, in the Celestial Realm, a Quasi-Saint was nothing special.

So be it, living is the most important thing!

Since Wu Kun had given up, the next step was to follow the procedure. First, they manipulated Wu Kun's amethyst mark, and then summoned the Enchantress Lord to control Wu Kun a second time.

After Lin Chen finished controlling Wu Kun's amethyst mark, he frowned.

Controlling the amethyst mark requires the consumption of primordial spirit power, and when he controlled the second amethyst mark, the consumption of primordial spirit power was much greater than before!
"Why did it take me more primordial spirit power to control your amethyst mark than You Kun did?"

Wu Kun replied, "This is the wonder of the amethyst mark. The more amethyst marks you control, the more primordial spirit power you consume. Otherwise, wouldn't you be able to control them infinitely?"

Lin Chen was immediately disappointed. He had originally wanted to control more Celestial Race trial participants, and then, like a snowball rolling downhill, make them more and more numerous, eventually driving them to fight for him. Now he realized that he had been thinking too much.

Lin Chen estimated that if he didn't want to affect his original combat power, he could probably only control two more people at most.

In other words, he could only control a maximum of four Celestial Trialers.

Although his previous plan failed, Lin Chen was not too disappointed.

Four is quite a lot.

Controlling them was just a cover for myself; when it really comes time to fight, I still have to rely on myself.

However, if possible, it would be best to use the next two spots to select someone with better skills. Otherwise, if four useless people combined can't even beat one person, wouldn't they be useless?

Lin Chen returned to the group with a helpless and dejected Wu Kun, and said with a smile, "Let them rest for a bit. I'll go out and experience it myself, and see just how powerful this formation really is!"
