The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 942 This world is about to descend into chaos!

The skeleton lay on the ground, his right hand pinned under his body, only half of it exposed.

With the flesh gone, several dents were immediately revealed on the ground beneath the finger bones.

dent?

Character?
Strokes?

Lin Chen squatted down in front of Elder Chen's remains, lifted the sleeve of his right hand, moved his right hand away, and then lifted the clothes around his waist.

Because the flesh and blood had disappeared, the clothes were limply hanging on the ground. As Lin Chen lifted them up, the ground was immediately revealed.

"There are words!"

Su Mubai exclaimed softly, his face showing surprise, and the others immediately surrounded him.

There are two characters on the ground. The first character is crooked and simple, while the second character is only half written.

"This is the seventh... The character after it wasn't finished; only two strokes were written, it looks like a '冖'..."

Lin Chen stared at the two words and asked, "Since the other party entered the City Lord's Mansion and had close contact with him, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, they must have announced their identity. Of course, that identity could also be fake..."

"He was seriously injured, and the words he secretly wrote before he died could only be the identity or name of the other party. When we travel, we usually report our sect's information."

"Seven is clearly not a surname, so the most likely explanation is their sect. What sects start with the character 'seven'?"

People then began to speculate.

"Seven Treasures Sect?"

"No, for the character '宝' (bao), you should write the dot first, not the '冖' (mei) first..."

Several guesses were made, but none of them were quite right.

Zhu Lin thought for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be the Seven Nether Sect?"

"deep?"

Lin Chen turned around: "If it's 'Ming' (冥), then it matches the strokes... What's the background of this Seven Nether Sect?"

Yue Shanhe turned his head and asked, "Which sect is it? I've never heard of it before."

"The Seven Nether Sect?"

Zhu Lin blinked: "Why does it feel somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place it? Let me think..." Zhu Lin frowned, deep in thought, and no one urged him.

After a while, Zhu Lin suddenly slapped his forehead.

"I remember now. Two months ago, my subordinate mentioned to me during dinner that there was a sect called the Seven Nether Sect that wanted to meet with me, talking about a collaboration on weapon crafting. I was busy with other things at the time and hadn't really thought about any weapon crafting collaboration, so I casually declined. Since it was just mentioned in passing, I didn't take it to heart..."

Zhu Lin's expression was somewhat subtle, a mixture of horror and lingering fear: "If the Seven Nether Sect is truly a ferocious beast, does that mean their initial target was Sword Qi City, but I didn't give them the chance, so they chose Sky Origin City instead?"

Yue Shanhe asked, "What is the background of this Seven Nether Sect? Do you know anything about it?"

Zhu Lin shook his head: "I've never heard of it. I just thought that if I hadn't heard of a sect before, it couldn't be a big sect, so I just refused."

Yue Shanhe's expression was solemn: "They chose Sword Qi City first, and then Kongyuan City. Both of these are cities belonging to my Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Are they targeting my Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

Zhu Lin asked in confusion, "But we've never even heard of this Seven Nether Sect, let alone have any grudge against them. Why are they targeting us?"

Yue Shanhe thought for a moment and said, "Send people to the other cities to check if they have any contact with this Seven Nether Sect. Have each city strictly investigate any outside cultivators and send people to carefully patrol the area around the city to ensure that there are no formations or similar structures. Keep the barrier in a protective state and no one is allowed to close the barrier without reason."

"In addition, send people to inquire about the Seven Nether Sect from all over the country. No matter how small the sect is, as long as it exists, someone will know about it."

Zhu Lin nodded: "Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."

After searching the city lord's mansion without finding anything else, the group returned to the outskirts of the city.

"We have discovered three locations that surround Kongyuan City in a triangular formation. All the vegetation around each location has turned bright red and is dead."

Following Zhu Lin's introduction, the group arrived at the first array point.

Within a radius of 100 meters, all the green vegetation had turned bright red, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that the vegetation was lifeless and beyond dead.

"There were no signs of any array being set up on the ground, but all the grass on the ground showed signs of being heavily compressed..."

"Array Plate!"

Zhu Lin affirmed, "They are using array plates, made of high-quality white jade. The array is constructed on the white jade, and when in use, the white jade plate is taken out and enough spiritual energy is injected by manpower or spirit stones to activate the array on the white jade plate."

"They used three array plates, which should belong to one set. Once one of them is in use, all life within the triangular area covered by the three array plates will be refined, and all flesh and blood will be refined into pure blood energy, which will then converge to form the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Just how effective is the Myriad Spirit Blood Bead?"

Zhu Lin shook his head and said, "It is said that the more people who refine it, the stronger they become, and the more powerful the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl becomes. But I don't know exactly how powerful it is. After all, the art of refining has been lost for too long, and now it has reappeared. Sigh, I feel like this world is going to be in chaos..."
