The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1262 She chose you, not me

"The path of refining exists in the Immortal Realm as well, and its situation is similar to that of the Wilderness Realm. After all, you can imagine that many people would disapprove of this kind of cultivation method that harms others for personal gain. However, they are like maggots, they will always exist and cannot be eradicated."

Yuwen Tuo readily replied, "Wei Jiao has subdued many powerful subordinates, one of whom is a cultivator of the Dao of Refinement, and Wei Jiao trusts him very much."

"He needed a large number of Myriad Spirit Blood Pearls for his cultivation, so Wei Jiao sent him down to the Wilderness Realm. Firstly, to help Wei Jiao deal with the boss, and secondly, to refine humans and collect Blood Pearls."

"It's just that he's encountered some problems in his cultivation recently and can't descend to the mortal realm for the time being, so Wei Jiao entrusted this matter to me. However, he couldn't bear to part with these blood beads, so he sent one of his subordinates to descend to the mortal realm with me."

"The three of us arrived at the demon royal palace, found the demon emperor, and gave him two choices: either we would directly wage war against the human race, pressuring them with our army to force you and the boss to appear, or if he refused to fight, we would kill him and replace him with someone willing to fight to lead the demon race."

"The Demon Emperor immediately agreed to go to war with the human race. The fellow who came with me and cultivated the Dao of Creation suggested that wherever the army passed, all the people in the cities should be refined into blood pills."

"The Demon Emperor refused, saying that if the human race were gone and the demon race had no slaves, then even if the continent were unified, the significance would be at least halved."

"I could tell that the guy was unhappy, so I chimed in and helped the Demon Emperor. The guy had no choice but to step back and said that cities that surrendered without resistance would be spared, but any city that resisted would have its defenses breached, the city sealed off, and all cultivators and citizens would be refined."

Lin Chen listened in silence, then pressed for an answer: "Where did those people from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect come from?"

Yuwen Tuo replied, "When we descended to the mortal realm, we didn't go to the Demon Emperor's Palace immediately. Instead, we went to the Eastern Emperor Prefecture to investigate the disappearance of Wei Jiao's primordial spirit clone when it descended to the mortal realm. We learned that you, the Human Emperor, were the last person she saw."

“We rushed to Hengshan in Nanyue, Xihouzhou, originally intending to capture you or your relatives to threaten you. However, the entire Hengshan in Nanyue was deserted, except for a few elderly and weak people left to guard the gate.

Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he felt a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, when he saw Wei Jiao's primordial spirit descend to the mortal realm, his first reaction was to ask his senior sister to go back and inform everyone to move.

Without this operation, the entire Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue would likely have been awash in blood, with no one able to escape.

"During this process, that guy contacted the people of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. To be honest, the guys who cultivated the Dao of Refinement in the Wilderness Realm were originally their disciples and grand-disciples. When those people saw the people from the Immortal Realm, they were all as happy as if it were New Year's Day. Without saying a word, they followed them to Dongsheng Prefecture. In the end, they took advantage of the enemy's power and acted with the army. When they encountered cities that resisted, they refined them all into Blood Pills."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen finally understood everything completely.

Lin Chen silently healed Yuwen Tuo's injuries and stood up, saying, "It's done."

Fairy Xuanji calmly said, "Rest for two hours, then set off!"

Yuwen Tuo readily agreed: "Okay, boss!"

Fairy Xuanji didn't mind him calling her "boss." Whether he was master or boss, as long as he served her wholeheartedly, that was enough. If he truly made contributions in the future, she wouldn't kill him; instead, she would give him an important position. Unlike Wei Jiao, who was merely her boss and could betray her at any time, Wei Jiao's true soul was in Xuanji's hands. If he dared to betray her, Xuanji could kill him at any moment. Such a person was naturally someone she could use with confidence.

Fairy Xuanji turned to look at Lin Chen: "Walk with me for a while."

Lin Chen blinked: "Okay!"

The two rose into the air and arrived at the summit of a mountain. Fairy Xuanji landed and stood at the highest point of the mountain, her robes fluttering, like a fairy in a painting.

Okay, she is an immortal in herself, her aura is amazing!

"I'm leaving."

Fairy Xuanji's voice was clear and crisp, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

Lin Chen pursed his lips, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Lin Chen knew that Fairy Xuanji was leaving the moment Yuwentuo revealed the plan.

After capturing those two immortals, they must take advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, fly straight to the Immortal Realm, and then infiltrate the gate to the realm. Otherwise, if they miss this opportunity, they may never be able to enter the Immortal Realm again.

If Wei Jiao knew that these three immortals had failed, who knows what heinous things she would do to prevent Fairy Xuanji from returning to the Immortal Realm.

For Wei Jiao, losing would most likely mean death, so she would naturally go to great lengths to kill Fairy Xuanji.

Lin Chen replied, "Okay."

Fairy Xuanji turned her head, her beautiful, star-like eyes fixed on Lin Chen: "I'd like to borrow the Ghost Tower from you..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Ghost Tower hasn't signed a master-servant contract with me yet. It's free. As long as Sister Qi is willing, that's fine."

Fairy Xuanji said seriously, "Although the contract has not been signed yet, she has chosen you, not me."

Lin Chen asked with slight confusion, "I am just a minor cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, while you are a favored daughter of heaven, the daughter of a domain lord, and an immortal. Why doesn't she choose you directly?"
