The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1100: So arrogant, won't he get beaten up?
Didn't they reveal anything?

Zhou Yin shook her head: "The cultivators look down on us. They haven't revealed anything to us, and they won't let us participate in the exploration. They've isolated us. But I heard that they found some descriptions in Liangchang Mountain before, saying that Baishi Mountain Grotto offended a certain immortal and was cut down to the mortal world by the immortal's sword..."

Did I offend a deity?
Lin Chen blinked, then smiled and said, "No matter what, we'll find out once we investigate. Go on downstairs."

The two descended into the funnel-shaped pit and found a path leading into the underground space and towards the buried White Stone Cave Heaven. However, a light shield covered the entrance to the path.

Lin Chen could tell at a glance that this intersection resembled a small path connecting Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue to the human world. As long as one stepped onto that path, one could enter the grotto.

Hundreds of people were gathered around the light screen, some trying out their own methods, while others watched and discussed.

The arrival of Lin Chen and his companion immediately attracted the attention of many people who turned to look.

"Cultivators from the mortal realm are forbidden from entering this area. Return immediately, or you will be killed without mercy."

Lin Chen said calmly, "Nanyue, Lin Chen."

Everyone paused for a moment, then pursed their lips, saying nothing more. However, someone's gaze was fixed on Zhou Yin: "I remember she's a cultivator from the mortal realm, I've seen her before..."

Lin Chen replied calmly, "She is mine."

"your people?"

Someone sneered, "You're quite arrogant. Everyone agrees that cultivators from the mortal realm are not allowed to interfere in the investigation. What, you're not going to abide by it?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone shouted, "Get out if you don't obey!"

Zhou Yin's expression showed a slight panic. After all, these people were all cultivators from various blessed lands and grotto-heavens, and they were clearly not ordinary rookie disciples from sects. They were all powerful figures with considerable status and strength in their sects.

"Brother Chen, how about..."

Lin Chen waved his hand and laughed, "You're all so arrogant. If you're so capable, why don't you break the barrier? You can't even break a barrier, yet you're bragging about exploring the cave. How are you going to explore? Rely on your imagination or just daydreaming?"

Lin Chen's words immediately made everyone lose face, and many people were even furious with embarrassment.

"You brat, what are you saying! Are you looking for death?"

"Are you asking for a beating?"

"You're spouting nonsense, you deserve a beating!"

"If we can't break through it, do you think you can? It's just that the spiritual energy in this mortal realm is thin, while the spiritual energy of this protective barrier is provided by the internal formation. We don't have that much spiritual energy outside..."

Zhou Yin's face grew paler and paler. He hadn't expected Lin Chen to come in and immediately start provoking the hundreds of people present. This was just too outrageous.

Being so arrogant, won't you get beaten up?
Lin Chen laughed and said, "You know what, I actually have a way to break it." Everyone's expression changed immediately, and their eyes became suspicious.

"You? You think you can do this?"

"The spiritual energy is so thin, how can it be broken? It can't even supply enough spiritual energy to control magical artifacts in battle, let alone its power."

"You're really talking big without thinking! Come and break it open and see!"

"Come on! If you can't break through, I'll beat you to death!"

Lin Chen chuckled: "I don't get anything out of it, so why would I break it open? If I do, you'll all swarm in and grab the good stuff. Am I crazy?"

Someone sneered, "If you can't break it, get lost and stop getting in my way!"

"Take this woman and get out of here, or you'll be crippled!"

Lin Chen remained calm, even sporting a slight smile: "I heard the people from Mount Tai of Dongyue have arrived. Are they there?"

From the crowd, an elderly man with white hair spoke coldly: "I am Fan Kaili, Elder of Mount Tai of Dongyue. What do you want?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Your surname is Fan, so there should be another person with the surname Zhou, right? Zhou Wuyuan's father..."

A middle-aged man standing next to the white-haired old man stared coldly at Lin Chen: "I am Zhou Yuanguo, Zhou Wuyuan's father."

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the middle-aged man, and he said calmly, "A few days ago, you injured a cultivator, crippled her legs, and are going to make her sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Is that true?"

Zhou Yuanguo suddenly became agitated: "You just said your name is Lin Chen, did you kill my son?"

Lin Chen grinned: "Yes, are you happy? Unexpected?"

A murderous glint suddenly appeared in Zhou Yuanguo's eyes: "That's perfect, I'll kill you today so my son can rest in peace!"

The old man beside him, Fan Kaili, suddenly reached out and stopped Zhou Yuanguo, who was about to make a move: "You delivered yourself to our doorstep. What do you want? You even said you could break through the protective barrier. Do you want to use this to threaten others to deal with us?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Your imagination is quite rich, and this method is not bad. However, you guessed wrong, because it is not necessary at all."

Zhou Yuanguo sneered, "You have a path to heaven but you choose not to take it, and you barge into hell when there's no way out. Today I'll grind you to dust!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too..."
