The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1068 The lives of five hundred girls, you must pay!

Yelü Yuan was taken aback. How could this guy have guessed it?

Seeing Yelü Yuan's expression, Zhang Zhongyan knew he had guessed correctly and shouted, "That old bastard, he's crossing the river and burning the bridge! What did he tell you?"

Old bastard?

Gao Yi coldly said, "You secretly kidnapped many young girls, played with them, and finally killed them. That's a fact, isn't it?"

Zhang Zhongyan shouted, "Those girls were what that bastard Xu Xianxiang wanted! They're all going to die anyway, I was just having some fun with them..."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yelü Yuan halted his attack, but continued to watch Zhang Zhongyan intently.

Zhang Zhongyan was not as strong as Yelü Yuan. He only took two punches from Yelü Yuan before blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, he quickly said, "I had previously asked Xu Xianxiang to refine a magic weapon. He made a condition for me. He wanted me to find five hundred young girls for him. They had to be virgins. He taught me a method to absorb the blood of virgin girls and condense it into blood beads, which would at the same time imprison the souls of the dead."

Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly. The Way of Refining Humans?

He instantly thought of the Myriad Spirits Blood Array and the Myriad Spirits Blood Bead. This Xu Xianxiang was cultivating the Dao of Refinement.
Zhang Zhongyan continued, "I asked him what he needed the blood beads made from the essence of young girls for, and he said it was for refining weapons. I used some methods to gather five hundred young girls for him, and finally turned them all into blood beads and gave them to him."

"He helped me refine the magic weapon, and our deal ended there. But recently, he suddenly contacted me and asked me to find a way to get blood beads for him, and he asked for five thousand of them."

"He said that in return, he could forge a powerful magic weapon for me. Although I was tempted, I am, after all, the deputy city lord of Tianyuan City. If this matter were exposed, it would affect me, so I refused him."

“I refused him, but I was worried that he would cause trouble in the city and implicate me. So I asked him to leave Tianyuan City and threatened that if he didn’t leave, I would expose his affairs.”

"This old bastard saw that he couldn't threaten me, and was afraid that I would expose his secrets, so he actually sent you to kill me. Did you ask him to refine or repair magic weapons, and then his condition was that you kill me?"

Lin Chen asked, "Do you know Xu Xianxiang's background?"

Zhang Zhongyan shook his head: "His background is quite mysterious. Although I am certain that he has a sect behind him, I do not know which sect it is. He is very cautious and never lets anything slip."

Lin Chen paused for two seconds, then turned and said, "Brother Yelü, I have no more questions. Let's get started."

Yelü Yuan chuckled and pounced on Zhang Zhongyan again.

Zhang Zhongyan cried out in despair, "I am willing to pay the price to redeem my life!"

Lin Chen said calmly, "You must pay for the lives of five hundred innocent girls. As for Xu Xianxiang, if what you say is true, I will send him down to join you."

"Why!"

Zhang Zhongyan cried out in despair and resentment, "We are all cultivators, we are all defying the heavens, why should you decide whether I live or die?"

Yelü Yuan punched Zhang Zhongyan so hard he coughed up blood, then laughed loudly, "Because he's the Human Emperor!" "The Human Emperor!"

Zhang Zhongyan suddenly lost his focus, looking at Lin Chen with a shocked expression and disbelief.

Zhang Zhongyan was no match for Yelü Yuan to begin with, and now, due to a moment of distraction, half of his body was smashed apart by Yelü Yuan's punch.

Zhang Zhongyan's primordial spirit flew out of his body and crashed into the light barrier, but was blocked by the light barrier. Seeing Yelü Yuan rushing towards him again, he suddenly became fierce, and his primordial spirit suddenly emitted light.

"If you want to kill me, then we'll die together!"

Blow up!

Lin Chen's brow twitched, and almost instinctively, the Human Emperor Seal flew out instantly, trembling slightly in the air and emitting a crisp sound.

Zhang Zhongyan's primordial spirit seemed to have been struck on the head, instantly losing his senses and being frozen in mid-air.

"boom!"

In that brief moment of delay, Yelü Yuan's fist slammed heavily into Zhang Zhongyan's primordial spirit, shattering it instantly.

Zhang Zhongyan's primordial spirit dissipated, his gaze fell on the Emperor's Seal, and in the last instant, he regained his senses, his eyes filled with despair.

"Human Emperor Seal..."

Zhang Zhongyan's primordial spirit transformed into a turbulent flow of spiritual energy, sweeping in all directions.

Gao Yi put away the pottery bowl, and the spiritual energy quickly dissipated between heaven and earth.

Yelü Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Done!"

Gao Yi turned to look at Lin Chen: "Are you planning to kill Xu Xianxiang?"

Lin Chen nodded: "If what Zhang Zhongyan said is true, then Xu Xianxiang is very likely practicing the ancient evil sect's refining method..."

Gao Yi's expression changed slightly: "The Way of Refinement? Refining Humans?"

Lin Chen hummed in agreement: "Didn't I mention before that I wiped out a Void Realm cultivator in the early stages? That was the Supreme Elder of a pill-refining sect in Xihou Prefecture. The sect leader was his son. They obtained the ancient evil array, the Myriad Spirits Blood Array, from a mysterious person and used it to refine 400,000 people from a city under my Nanyue Hengshan sect into a Myriad Spirits Blood Bead."

"I traced the Three Ghost Sects back to them and discovered that they had also lured a large number of cultivators into their ranks, refining them into blood beads. I destroyed the entire Three Ghost Sects, but the identity of that mysterious person remains untraceable..."
