The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 943 No matter who it is, no one has it easy.

"Since it uses an array plate, doesn't that mean activating the array is very simple?"

Yue Shanhe replied, "Yes, but the formation will take some time to activate. This place is not far from the city center. Once the Myriad Spirits Blood Formation is activated, there will be strong signs. Although the time is not too long, it is enough for cultivators to launch a counterattack."

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "No wonder they entered the city first and killed the strongest city lord and his guards. They were afraid that the city lord would notice and retaliate when they set up the formation..."

"That's the truth!"

Yue Shanhe looked around and said, "Mr. Lin, if you're not in a hurry, let's go to Sword Qi City first and see if there's any more news."

"Row!"

Lin Chen agreed, his gaze falling on the distant city: "The corpses in the city..."

Yue Shanhe said in a deep voice, "I will send a team of cultivators to collect all the remains and bury them together in one place."

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay!"

Just as everyone was about to turn and leave, Qiuqiu, who was standing on Lin Chen's shoulder, suddenly darted out and ran into the nearby woods, picking up a shiny object from the grass.

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he called out, "Qiuqiu, come here!"

Qiuqiu turned back and proactively placed the shiny object in Lin Chen's palm.

This is a crystal button.

The button was exquisitely crafted, and inside the crystal was a magic circle emitting a faint white light, within which blood energy was spreading.

Yue Shanhe leaned over and took a look: "Sect Badge!"

Seeing Lin Chen's slight confusion, Yue Shanhe explained, "Sects usually have standardized uniforms, such as clothes. They are all custom-made and have the sect's emblem embroidered on the chest. Some sects also have patterns on the collar and the exquisitely crafted buttons."

"This button is well-made. Under normal circumstances, the pattern on this button should be the sect emblem. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone maliciously planted it. Leaving someone else's unique item at the crime scene is a common tactic in the cultivation world."

Lin Chen nodded: "Regardless, let's investigate."

Yue Shanhe said in a deep voice, "An investigation is definitely necessary. Since there is a badge, whether it is the real culprit or a frame-up, we will eventually find it. At least we will have one more clue to follow up."

Lin Chen glanced at Qiuqiu and reached out to rub its head.

"Well done, here's a bag of snacks for you."

Qiuqiu chirped softly and nuzzled Lin Chen's head. The group headed to Sword Qi City and checked into Zhu Lin's City Lord's Mansion.

Yue Shanhe, stationed in Sword Qi City, dispatched many elites from his sect to investigate the matter.

Gathering information takes time, so Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry. After all, he had only been in seclusion for more than half a year and was feeling a bit tired. He figured he might as well go out for a walk to clear his head.

When you're stuck in a rut, go out and explore, look for inspiration, and maybe the feeling will come, and you'll find the key.

Lin Chen was lying on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion when Su Mubai appeared beside him.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Su Mubai, who was dressed in white and looked like a fairy, and smiled, "Daydreaming... Sit down."

Su Mubai looked at the recliner Lin Chen had set out and couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you always carry a recliner with you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "In the human world, ordinary people go to work every day to earn money to support their families. When they get home, their greatest enjoyment is lying down. Only when they are lying down do they truly belong to themselves."

Su Mubai sat down in the chair and leaned back like Lin Chen, casually asking, "Then, when you're standing, to whom does it belong?"

Lin Chen replied, "It belongs to my wife or husband, to my parents, to my children, in short, it doesn't belong to me."

Su Mubai was slightly taken aback, and after a long while, he said softly, "The ordinary people in our Wilderness Realm are actually quite similar; most of them are just struggling to make a living..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Although cultivators have no worries about food and clothing, it's not all the same. Without cultivation resources, they have to struggle in the dangerous wilderness. If they're not careful, they'll lose their lives. Even Void Realm experts start to worry about not being able to ascend to immortality..."

Su Mubai laughed and said, "If you put it that way, it seems like no one, no matter who it is, has an easy time."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's just that seeing 400,000 people in Kongyuan City being refined has inexplicably given me a lot of thoughts. But thinking so much is useless. In the Wilderness Realm, whether you're an ordinary person or a cultivator, who dares to say that they will definitely live to see tomorrow?"

Su Mubai nodded: "Compared to this, although the human realm is ordinary, it may not be worse than the desolate realm."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "But the longest-lived person in the human world is only about a hundred years old, and ordinary people are only about seventy years old. The Wilderness Realm is lacking in everything, but it has immortality."

Su Mubai suddenly asked, "If you find out who did it, what will you do?"

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If I can kill, I will kill. If I can't, I will ask my senior brothers and sisters to kill. Four hundred thousand lives, four hundred thousand innocent souls, deserve an explanation!"
