The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 989 If you want to latch onto a powerful figure, you'd better do it early!

"I can't open it, what should I do?"

"There must be a way, otherwise, why would so many people be needed to guard this place, including both the undead and demigods..."

"If we capture Yan Chusheng and his gang, they'll definitely know a way!"

After a brief discussion, the three Tribulation Transcending stage experts abandoned their attack on the formation and instead headed towards the cave the four had entered earlier, to pursue the four wounded immortal slaves.

The others stayed in this space to heal and rest, as the series of battles had taken a toll, and many were injured.

Many people rushed to the barrier to look at the hand, as if they were visiting a giant panda.

Lin Chen didn't approach; instead, he sat at a distance.

Zhu Yao and the others walked over. Zhu Yao sat down with a thud and asked curiously, "Lin Chen, what's your strength now? You actually sent An Ziwu flying with one punch and shattered his defensive magic weapon with two punches. That's too amazing!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Nascent Soul stage is at its peak."

Long Yan'er laughed and said, "It's only been half a year, and you've already advanced from the early stage of Nascent Soul to the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul. Your speed is too fast."

Ji You sighed, "Including the time before, it's only been three years since he came to the Desolate Realm from the Human Realm. He advanced from the early stage of Golden Core to the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul. Who can have such a speed? Even someone with a natural Dao Body probably couldn't level up as fast as him!"

Speaking of innate Dao physiques, Lin Chen immediately thought of Zhao Feiyu and asked curiously, "Why didn't Zhao Feiyu come for such an important event?"

Zhu Yao curled his lip and said, "Kunlun will protect him. After all, Death Valley is full of all sorts of mysteries. Although he was born with a Dao body, he is only at the Nascent Soul stage. If he really encounters those freaks, it will be a matter of one strike."

Long Yan'er laughed and said, "Many of the most outstanding young disciples from various sects didn't come. Look at our Xihou Prefecture team, only the four of us came, the others didn't come."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "You are all rising stars of your sects. Why did the sect send you here? Aren't you afraid you'll all die here?"

Zhu Yao curled his lip and said, "If you really hang here, that's fate. Although cultivators defy the heavens, they can't change their own destiny. If you don't have that fate, even if you hide at home, misfortune will still befall you."

"Our Zhu family's style has always been to fight if we disagree, and our cultivation of disciples is more about letting them grow wildly, depending on each person's fate. Besides, with so many Void Realm Great Perfection experts protecting us, as long as we don't rush to the front, there won't be too much of a problem." Zhu Yao paused, looking at Lin Chen with admiration: "I admire you more and more now. In a situation with so many powerful people, you can still stand out and make people pay attention to you. You are really amazing."

Lin Chen replied modestly, "However, it just so happens that the Water and Fire Mirror can absorb blood mist. If it really comes down to a fight, I'm not even a match for a single undead guard."

Ji You asked curiously, "How did you escape from the horde of undead you fell into? You don't seem to be hurt at all."

Lin Chen didn't reveal that he had comprehended the Death Seal, and casually replied, "I have the Cicada Robe. I ran all the way, and before they could react, I ran over and rushed into a cave, using the Cicada Robe to conceal my presence."

"These undead can't sense my presence, so they naturally leave. Hey, running with hundreds or thousands of undead, if I'm even a second slower, I'll be torn to shreds. That feeling is incredibly exciting!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xiao Rulong laughed and said, "No wonder you passed through the cave unscathed and avoided all the guards. An Ziwu really underestimated you. Judging from your three punches, I think your fighting power is no less than ours, and may even be higher!"

Zhu Yao exclaimed enviously, "Sword Bone is indeed powerful. It is said that your senior sister was able to fight against people in the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm when she was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. You should be no worse than your senior sister!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "More or less."

Lin Chen's current combat power is definitely stronger than when Qiao Wei was at the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul. After all, Lin Chen's sword bone has been refined by the essence of fire and earth, and then his whole body has been tempered by the blood of the true dragon. Otherwise, how could he have killed Chen Tianqiong, who was at the early stage of Void Realm?

Lin Chen recalled the help he received from the elders earlier and said, "Thank you all for speaking up for me earlier, and thank you to your sect elders as well..."

Zhu Yao chuckled: "Of course, you saved our lives before. Besides, my elders said that since you have been recognized by the Human Emperor's Seal, it means you are definitely worth befriending. They told me to make friends with you."

"They also said that you might eventually gain the final recognition of the Human Emperor's Seal and become the future Human Emperor. If I become your friend, wouldn't I be making a huge profit? Even my family might benefit from this."

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "Isn't this too early? It's not even close to happening yet."

Long Yan'er smiled slightly: "It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. If you really want to curry favor, then we have to do it as soon as possible. If we wait until you are incredibly powerful and have become the Human Emperor before we talk about being friends with you, wouldn't it be too late then?"
