The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3746 The Murderer Returns to the Crime Scene
The giant ship sailed into the dock, and after a series of procedures, everyone was settled in.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

Huo Ling Shuang smiled and said, "Okay."

Lin Chen and Huo Ling Shuang left the camp and strolled outside.

Looking around, there were cultivators everywhere, densely packed, like ants.

Lin Chen casually remarked, "With so many people, if two powerful experts were to engage in a fierce battle here, wouldn't many people die?"

Huo Ling Shuang couldn't help but chuckle: "This is a celebration of the gods, where the gods themselves will descend. Who would be so bold as to cause trouble here and result in countless casualties? Their primordial spirit might be extracted and used as a lamp wick, burning for millions of years!"

"When the gods punish people, they don't just kill them. Many of their methods are quite cruel. Compared to these punishments, death is the happiest ending."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's true. Who would dare to disrespect a god?"

Because so many sects and countless cultivators came to participate in the celebration, all sorts of giant merchant ships came to do business, making the place extremely lively.

As Lin Chen and his companion walked and talked, they suddenly saw a group of people ahead with familiar markings on their bodies.

"We've already arrived at Xuefeng Palace. I wonder if Xi Yunlang has arrived yet."

Huo Ling Shuang smiled and said, "He will definitely come. He is the most talented prodigy in the Snow Phoenix Palace and is hailed as the next Palace Master of the Snow Phoenix Palace. Now that it is the Heavenly God Celebration, he will naturally come. He might even be able to show his face in front of the Heavenly God. After all, with his status, he is qualified to have a few words with the Heavenly God."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Look, this is status. These people are still thinking about how to stand out among so many people and how to show their faces, but they directly have the qualifications to sit in the seats."

Huo Ling Shuang glanced at Lin Chen, wanting to confirm whether Lin Chen was being sarcastic.

Lin Chen looked at Huo Ling Shuang's actions and smiled, "It's the truth, not sarcasm."

As they spoke, the two approached a group of people from Xuefeng Palace and spotted Xi Yunlang in the crowd.

Lin Chen walked up behind Xi Yunlang. Before he could speak, Xi Yunlang turned around and his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Chen.

"Hey, we were just talking about you, and here you are."

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Have you been here long?"

"It's almost the day, and we're here watching the excitement."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What's all the commotion about?"

Xi Yunlang replied, "The Black Palace is bustling, hehe, everyone's talking about it now..."

Black Palace?
Lin Chen feigned curiosity and asked, "What happened at the Black Palace? What's wrong?"

Xi Yunlang chuckled and said, "The people from the Black Palace came here to participate in the celebration. Then someone delivered a message to Zhao Tianjue, an elder of the Black Palace. Zhao Tianjue went to the meeting alone. Then, the deputy palace master Liu Xian received Zhao Tianjue's distress signal and used the star jump to go to the rescue. Then the two of them disappeared together."

"The other powerful figures from the Black Palace followed closely behind, finding a place where a chaotic battle had broken out. Among them, a powerful figure with the attribute of time used rewind to try and find the truth..."

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could it really be like this?

Lin Chen felt a pang of panic, but quickly regained his composure. If the time reversal had succeeded, these people wouldn't be here gossiping so enthusiastically; they would have arrested him long ago. "What was the result? Did they find the truth?"

Xi Yunlang replied, "Found what? If we really found the truth, the Black Palace would have sent all its experts out to rescue and kill people long ago. Why would we be stuck here, at a loss, being laughed at by everyone?"

A person next to him said, "I heard that the time travel failed. Each time, it could only rewind to a blurry figure, and then the image completely collapsed. You could only vaguely see a few figures, but you couldn't tell who they were or what happened."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but feigned curiosity and asked, "What happened? Why can't we rewind?"

The man explained, "Perhaps the opponent was prepared for this move when they made their attack, and used a special magic weapon to disrupt the energy there, making it impossible for people to trace back effectively. Or perhaps the opponent was too powerful, making it impossible for people to trace back at all."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "They should all be top-tier experts, right? How much stronger could they be? Could it be that the one who attacked them was a celestial being?"

"So!"

The man laughed and said, "Everyone says it must be some kind of magic weapon that caused the chaos around us, which means that everything was planned by them."

Xi Yunlang chuckled and said, "That's the strange thing. Let's not talk about Zhao Tianjue. Although he is strong, he is not at the peak. But Liu Xian is not only top-notch in strength, but he also has the Spirit of the Star Chart and the great supernatural power of jumping through the stars. He can receive distress signals and jump over to save people. So how come he can't escape?"

Lin Chen widened his eyes, feigning realization: "Could it be that the other party anticipated Zhao Tianjue's possible distress call and prepared a corresponding magic weapon in advance? After Liu Xian arrived, they used the magic weapon to prevent Liu Xian from using the Starry Sky Jump to leave, and then captured the two of them directly?"

Xi Yunlang nodded: "That's right, their plan is very meticulous. Moreover, the Black Palace now believes that their ultimate goal in searching for Zhao Tianjue is to lure Liu Xian to rescue him. In other words, their target is not Zhao Tianjue, but Liu Xian!"

Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise, "The spirit of the star map?"

"Correct!"

Xi Yunlang replied, "That's the only explanation. But these people are really bold. They actually made a move before the celebration, causing such a huge impact. Aren't they afraid of divine intervention?"

Lin Chen thought to himself, "I didn't want this to happen either."

Before I came here, I didn't even know that the Black Palace was the holy site of District Thirteen. I only found out about it when I was halfway there. What could I do?
Although it was risky, I had no choice but to take the risk, and fortunately things went relatively smoothly.

Seeing everyone discussing this, Lin Chen felt a mix of emotions.

Hehe, does this count as the murderer returning to the crime scene?

Are they just eating their own melon seeds?
Lin Chen feigned curiosity and asked, "So what was the result? When did it happen?"

Xi Yunlang spread his hands: "It's been many days. The Black Palace has tried everything, but they still haven't gotten an answer. It seems like this is a messy situation that can't be resolved."

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the other party dared to act so brazenly here, they must have prepared everything in advance. How could they be easily tracked down?"

"The Black Palace is very powerful. No matter who made the move, if this matter is exposed, they will definitely not be able to withstand the Black Palace's crazy retaliation."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement: "That's true. It seems that the Black Palace has no choice but to accept this loss."

Xi Yunlang laughed and said, "The number of Star Chart Spirits is limited. As long as they keep an eye on this, if a Star Chart Spirit appears anywhere in the future, that person will inevitably become a suspect..."

Suspect?
Go ahead and doubt it!
That's the creator god! What can you do if you doubt him? Are you going to bite him?
