The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3436 Talented Individuals in Prison
The door of the main hall.

The two old men watched as Lin Chen returned, accompanied by a charming and beautiful young woman.

"Where's the warrant?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I don't have a warrant."

The two elderly men's expressions changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

Without Lin Chen saying a word, the Enchantress Lord casually grabbed the two old men, who didn't even have time to resist before falling into her control.

These two aren't even quasi-saints, how could they possibly withstand the Enchantress?

If Lin Chen were to enter this place in his true form, he would be able to easily suppress them as well.

"who are you?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I already told you, Lin Chen. Anyway, you wouldn't know me. But just know that from now on, this place belongs to me. If you cooperate well, you can keep your lives. If you don't cooperate, then you'll die."

The two old men's expressions changed drastically: "Where is the Immortal Lord?"

Lin Chen replied, "If he hadn't fallen into my hands, and if he hadn't personally broken the seal on the Void Pearl, do you think I could have entered so leisurely?"

The two old men exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, chose to submit.

“We are the two guards here. Now that the Immortal Lord has fallen into your hands and the Void Pearl is also in your possession, we will naturally obey you.”

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, answer me first, are there any other guards here?"

"No, it's just the two of us."

Guard A replied, "This place is actually a prison, specifically for holding special individuals who are not fit to be in the light of day. Because of its special nature, no one can escape, so it's just the two of us."

"Our duty is to watch over these people, conduct routine checks, and feed them to prevent them from dying, so we don't need too many people. The reason we arranged two people is so that the immortal lord wouldn't be too lonely."

Lin Chen nodded: "Where is the ancient Yue Pass?"

Guard B quickly replied, "The third floor of the main hall, the last room."

Lin Chen asked, "How is he doing now?"

Guard A replied in a low voice, "He was already severely injured when he was brought here. Afterwards, the Immortal Lord used many methods on him, and his condition is very bad. We can only say he won't die..."

Lin Chen frowned, but didn't say anything.

This situation was not unexpected. After so long, the fact that he is still alive is already the best news.

As long as a person is alive, nothing else matters.

Lin Chen didn't rush to see Gu Yue, but instead asked, "Were any new prisoners brought in here recently? Was it a young woman...?"

"some."

Guard A replied, "She is being held in room number 7 on the second floor."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up; there really was one.

How is she?

"The injury is quite serious, but with proper rest, I can recover."

Lin Chen asked, "Did Immortal Lord Ranhai say anything to you when he threw her in?"

Guard A replied, "He just said this woman is very important and told us to keep a close watch on her and not let her die, but he didn't say anything else."

Lin Chen thought for a moment. Since Immortal Lord Ranhai had already obtained the Fire Attribute Great Dao Spirit, he probably wouldn't go to the Celestial God Realm again. He probably captured Huo Ling Shuang and took her back to the Immortal Realm because he wanted to extract more information from her.

Regardless, once Huo Ling Shuang falls into the hands of Immortal Lord Ran Hai, even if she survives, she will never have a chance to rise again. Now that she has fallen into his hands, who is about to go to the Heavenly God Realm, if she cooperates, she might actually have a chance to live.

How many people are in the main hall?

Guard A replied, "Forty-eight men."

"How is the strength?"

"The most powerful are Quasi-Saints, and most of them are at the peak of the Great Luo realm."

Lin Chen nodded: "Take me to see that woman."

"Yes!"

The two guards had their consciousness temporarily sealed, and like ordinary people, they led the two into the bronze hall.

Lin Chen looked around and found that the main hall was like a hospital or prison, with corridors on both sides, rooms on both sides of the corridors, and a staircase in the middle leading to the second floor.

Lin Chen went up to the second floor and walked along the corridor, while looking at the situation in the rooms on the left and right.

Some rooms were occupied, while others were empty. Most of the people inside were lying on the bed or sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating.

"Won't they go crazy being locked up like this all this time?"

The guard replied with a smile, "Although these people have had all or most of their strength restricted, they are basically normal people. We will provide them with all kinds of professional books to study. Once they develop an interest, time will pass quickly."

“Every now and then, we let them out to get some fresh air, and over time, they get used to it…”

Reading?

That's a good way to pass the time.

"Classic texts? What classic texts?"

The guard replied, "Formations, talismans, alchemy, weapon crafting, swordsmanship, and so on. They each have their own lineages. We will provide them with what they need so they can continue to study."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "Aren't they prisoners? How come they're so keen on improving their studies?"

The guard smiled wryly and said, "These are the rules set by the Immortal Lord. These people are imprisoned here for various reasons, but the Immortal Lord does not intend to keep them imprisoned indefinitely. After several years, when certain factors are no longer important, they can be released. However, they must choose to be loyal to the Immortal Lord and serve him."

"Although they are imprisoned here, the various classic texts they have studied are the most advanced in the immortal realm. If they achieve something, they will naturally become the most capable subordinates. After all, not everyone can endure loneliness and devote themselves to studying for thousands or even tens of thousands of years..."

Lin Chen was shocked.

Burning Sea Immortal Lord is a real talent!
The fact that he could secretly imprison these people meant they were no ordinary individuals. While imprisoning them to wear down their will, Immortal Lord Ranhai also provided them with a learning environment to help them improve themselves. This way, when they were willing to submit to him in the future, they could serve him better.

Lin Chen suddenly realized that Immortal Lord Ranhai had done him a great favor.

Wasn't I supposed to be going to the Celestial Realm?

If these people are all considered strong figures in their respective fields, shouldn't they help me if I release them?
Putting aside the fact that he saved his life, in the Celestial Realm, humans are destined to be slaves. Even for their own sake, shouldn't they band together with him and help him establish himself in the Celestial Realm?

Only when they establish themselves and have their own sphere of influence can they have freedom!

Lin Chen felt a surge of joy. "Immortal Lord Burning Sea, I have to thank you!"
It seems I'll have to find some time later to get to know these people who are being held here better, and see if they can be of any help.

Room 7.

Lin Chen stopped at the doorway and, through the array observation mirror on the door, immediately saw Huo Ling Shuang sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall in a daze.

Lin Chen's lips curled up.

I wonder what kind of expression Huo Ling Shuang will have when she sees me?
