The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1176 Three Sects, Three Schools, Three Grotto Heavens

The arrogant man stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Lin Chen with an air of haughtiness, as if a god were looking down on an ant.

"Zixiao Sect, Holy Son, Zhuo Jianqiu."

Lin Chen blinked, looking puzzled.

Zixiao Sect?
WTF?

Never heard of it.

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Qiao Wei and asked, "Never heard of her... Is she very famous?"

Zhuo Jianqiu's arrogant expression suddenly froze, and the expressions of the two men beside him also suddenly turned cold and stern.

Qiao Wei's eyes changed slightly, and she replied in a low voice, "Indeed, he is very famous, one of the Nine Lords of the Wilderness."

Nine Desolate Ones?

Lin Chen genuinely didn't know, and immediately asked, "I've never heard of this before, Senior Sister, please explain."

Zhuo Jianqiu said coldly, "You are truly ignorant. You haven't even heard of the Nine Desolate Sovereigns. Is this your first time venturing out?"

Lin Chen spread his hands, looking completely at ease: "I really don't know. Why don't you tell me?"

The middle-aged man next to Zhuo Jianqiu sneered, "The nine strongest forces in the Wilderness today are the Three Sects, the Three Schools, and the Three Cave Heavens, collectively known as the Nine Venerables of the Wilderness."

Lin Chen immediately became interested. A top-tier power in the Wilderness Realm?
Three Heavenly Caves?
Are only three blessed lands included in the list of grotto-heavens?

"Which nine forces are they? Tell me about them."

Hearing Lin Chen's enthusiastic tone, Zhuo Jianqiu and the other two were unsure of what to feel.

Is this guy serious?

It's clear that he genuinely didn't know the concept of the Nine Desolate Sovereigns, but knowing that the Purple Cloud Sect was one of the top powers, why didn't he show any fear?

Qiao Wei looked at Lin Chen's expression, pursed her lips, and forced herself not to laugh.

The Nine Desolate Lords are indeed powerful, but would Lin Chen be afraid?

Putting aside the fact that Fairy Xuanji is right here, who would dare to steal the vital elixir for her resurrection? Wouldn't that be like an old man hanging himself, tired of living?
Besides, even without Fairy Xuanji, with Lin Chen's current strength, would he be afraid of a mere Holy Son of the Zixiao Sect?
What was the outcome of Zhao Feiyu's plot to murder Lin Chen, as he was the son of Kunlun?
When Lin Chen was still in the Golden Core stage, he was able to make Zhao Feiyu, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, lose face. Later, he even personally fought Zhao Feiyu and crippled Yixiang's arm, turning him into an armless Arhat.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's connection with Kunlun, Zhao Feiyu would probably have been killed by Lin Chen this time. As the son of Kunlun, Zhao Feiyu is no less capable than your Holy Son of Zixiao Sect.

Zhuo Jianqiu stared coldly at Lin Chen, unable to figure out his true thoughts for a moment. After all, in his opinion, the Nine Lords of the Wilderness were the top forces in the Wilderness Realm. Who wouldn't be afraid of them, and who would dare to offend them?

Is this kid missing a screw in his head?

"The Zixiao Sect, Taixu Sect, and Shenxuan Sect are the three sects; the Qinglong Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Baihu Gate are the three gates; and Wangwu Mountain, Weiyu Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain are the three great grotto-heavens. These three sects, three gates, and three grotto-heavens are collectively known as the Nine Venerables of the Wilderness."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up; of the nine factions, he finally heard of one that sounded familiar.

Kunlun Mountains.

Lin Chen had a general idea of ​​Kunlun's power. With 100,000 cultivators and countless strong individuals, Kunlun was indeed incredibly powerful, ranking among the top in the entire Wilderness Realm.

With Kunlun Mountain as a reference, Lin Chen roughly knew the strength of the other eight forces.

It was indeed very strong, but Lin Chen wasn't afraid.

As the son of Kunlun, shouldn't Zhao Feiyu be attacked as well?
Lin Chen's attention immediately shifted to another topic: "What's with these three gates? They sound like they belong to the demon race."

Qiao Wei interjected, "The Three Sects and the Three Grotto Heavens are all from the human race, but the Three Gates are all from the demon race. The demon race doesn't have such strong sectarianism. They welcome any demon who wants to join their sect for cultivation. After all, each demon cultivator has their own strengths, and even if they obtain the cultivation method, their cultivation methods will differ from person to person. So, although there are three sects, there are actually countless demons under their tutelage, a number that the Three Sects and the Three Grotto Heavens cannot compare to..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, shouldn't there be a Vermilion Bird too?"

Qiao Wei explained, "Yes, the Vermilion Bird Sect does exist. The four of them are collectively known as the Four Saints of the Demon Clan. They possess the oldest inheritance of the Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan's cultivation methods were also passed down by them. However, something happened to the Vermilion Bird Sect later. It is said that they died, or it is said that they were reborn through Nirvana. In any case, the Vermilion Bird Sect's power was greatly reduced, so they were excluded."

Lin Chen subconsciously recalled the illusion he entered when he first came into contact with the Human Emperor Seal, where a huge, mountain-like azure dragon crashed down with the power of the Human Emperor Seal.

I wonder if that azure dragon is the Azure Dragon of the Four Saints of the Demon Clan, or just a member of the Azure Dragon Clan?

As Zhuo Jianqiu listened to Lin Chen and Qiao Wei discussing amongst themselves, with no one paying any attention to him, his handsome face immediately turned gloomy.

You think I don't exist?!
"Are you done?"

Zhuo Jianqiu's voice was as cold as the wind blowing from an ice cave, and his eyes held a fury that could erupt at any moment, like a volcano about to erupt.

No one has ever dared to ignore him like this before!
Lin Chen turned his head, looked at Zhuo Jianqiu's cold face, and laughed heartily: "Want the Divine Thunder Heavenly Soul Wood? No way!"
