The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3430 Give Me a Promise

Yes, you guessed right.

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "So, what choice will you make next, regarding your own life?"

Ning Hesheng was silent for a few seconds: "The two people next to you surrendered to you?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, their lives are in my hands, but apart from them and you, no other Celestial Trialists know that they surrendered to me, a human."

Ning Hesheng stared at Lin Chen's composed face, then suddenly his expression changed slightly: "You want to go to the Celestial Realm!"

"Intelligent! No wonder he's called a prodigy!"

Lin Chen readily admitted, smiling as he looked at Ning Hesheng: "Then will you help me?"

Ning Hesheng's cheeks puffed up. He was a prodigy, and it was hard to bear to submit to a human. But he also knew very well that the other party was willing to do anything to keep him alive in order to cover up his information.
Who told me to be so impulsive as to apply the Shadow Mark?

If this hadn't happened, he would have just wanted to stay away from me instead of fighting me to the death. After all, although the other side won this battle, he also paid a heavy price.

"If I don't agree, will you kill me?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. But I'll definitely cripple your strength first, and then make you live here. Who knows, when I go to the Celestial Realm, I might end up in your territory. Maybe you can even help me out."

Use up their strength!

Ning Hesheng's brow twitched. To have one's strength crippled, wouldn't that be worse than death?
Given the choice between losing his cultivation and death, he would rather choose death.

What about death and surrender?
Ning Hesheng hesitated!

"What do you want to do in the Celestial Realm?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "The world is so big, I want to go see it!"

Ning Hesheng said coldly, "You have more than one spiritual root. In your battle against me, you used four different divine abilities: wood, fire, metal, and earth. If I'm not mistaken, you should also have a water-attribute divine ability that you haven't used yet. You have five elemental spiritual roots?"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Smart!"

Ning Hesheng raised an eyebrow: "Although you have obtained the Wood Attribute Great Dao Spirit, it is not enough for you to advance to the Saint level. You not only need five Great Dao Spirits, but also each one must correspond to one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Great Dao Spirits in this trial ground have all been absorbed, and there are none left. Once it closes, you will no longer be able to enter, let alone the Heavenly God Realm."

"So, in order to become a saint, you are preparing to go to the Celestial Realm. Your human identity will definitely not escape detection, so you plan to enter the Celestial Realm as a slave captured by the Celestial Trialers. You will then have the Celestial Trialers under your control provide cover for you, while you secretly try to collect the remaining Dao Spirits until you break through to sainthood!"

"Of course, it's possible you have even greater ambitions, such as wanting to become a god, the sole being of the Dao..."

Lin Chen clapped his hands: "A prodigy is a prodigy. I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already figured out all my plans clearly and thoroughly."

"Yes, this is indeed what I plan to do. So what is your choice? Do you choose to have your strength crippled, live here for now, and die quietly one day, or do you choose to submit to me and return to the Celestial Realm as a victor?"

Ning Hesheng asked, "How will you control me?" Lin Chen explained, "Two ways. One is to control the amethyst mark, and the second is some of my special methods. Even if you take advantage of my ignorance and deceive me with the amethyst mark, I still have enough power to kill you."

Ning Hesheng sighed: "Can we discuss the terms?"

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What conditions do you want to discuss?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "If I want to live, I must submit to you and do my best for you. But even if I am subject to you for the rest of my life, I hope that one day I can become a saint."

"Although my life is always under your control, and I am always your subordinate or slave, in the realm of gods, the status of a saint is far higher than that of a sub-saint, a world of difference."

"Your goal is to become a saint, which is definitely the highest priority. The Great Dao Spirit that I possess will inevitably become your spoils of war. I understand and accept all of this. I hope you can make me a promise: after you have collected five Great Dao Spirits and become a saint, you can help me collect one Dark Attribute Great Dao Spirit so that I can also advance to the saint level."

“You are just one person, and the spirit of the Five Elements is enough for you. More would be valuable to you, but none of them would be as valuable as a sage’s subordinate. Although you have given up a portion of the spirit of the Five Elements, you have gained a loyal sage subordinate who would not dare to disobey any of your orders.”

"If you can ensure this, I will choose to submit to you and do my best to help you. After all, only by sending you to the position of saint can I have any hope of advancing to sainthood myself."

"If you're not willing to agree to this, then just kill me."

Lin Chen listened quietly, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked, "What is your background? Does your sect have any saints, and how many?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "I come from the Qiyun Sect. The sect has three Saints and hundreds of Quasi-Saints. The sect's strength can be considered average in the entire Heavenly God Realm."

Lin Chen was secretly shocked. With three Saints and over a hundred Quasi-Saints, the strength of this sect was almost enough to rival the strength of an entire Immortal Realm!
The Celestial Race is indeed powerful!
How many sects are there like yours?

Ning Hesheng smiled wryly and said, "I don't know, there are many, many, no one has ever counted them."

Lin Chen's mood grew increasingly heavy. No wonder the Celestial Race was known as the rulers of the universe; with such strength, which race could withstand them?

According to the Starry Sky Beast race, among all the races in the universe, the Immortal and Demon realms are already considered quite powerful, but compared to the Celestial God race, they are simply incomparable.

"Does anyone else know that you seized the Dao Spirit with spatial attributes?"

Ning Hesheng shook his head: "I drove everyone out of the main hall. When I killed the spatial attribute Dao spirit, there was no one else around."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "That person is a spatial ability user, how did you manage to stop him?"

Ning Hesheng calmly replied, "If I had met him outside, I might have been able to defeat him, but I wouldn't have been able to stop him. However, as soon as he came out, I ambushed him and seriously injured him before I was able to capture him."

"died?"

Ning Hesheng answered frankly, "Yes, I want to extract his Dao spirit, so naturally I can't let him live any longer. Although the chances of him seeking revenge are not high, if I can kill him, why keep him alive?"

Lin Chen nodded: "One last question, how will you get me out of here and ensure my safety? I must remind you first, I've fought Tuoba Peng and Huo Ling Shuang in their true forms before. I even performed Star Jump in front of them, and I also took Huo Ling Shuang's phoenix hairpin..."
