The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1282 What kind of logic is it to shut out a distinguished guest at the door?

Lin Chen didn't take the matter of eradicating the remnants of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect to heart.

If he were to encounter them, he would naturally kill them on the spot, but it would be impossible for him to actively pursue them.

He has more important things to do now.

He's going to Penglai!
Lin Chen had originally thought that he might see Gu Yuexi and Chu Jiaxue, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, during this gathering of forces from all over the world, but to his surprise, neither of them showed up.

Among the people who came from Cangshan Cave Heaven was Lin Chen's old acquaintance, Chen Tongxian.

Chen Tongxian told Lin Chen that after Gu Yuexi received the information on the jade slip that Lin Chen had sent through someone, she went into seclusion in the Water Spirit Cave, a forbidden area in Cangshan Mountain.

Those who are in seclusion in this forbidden area may not leave until they achieve a breakthrough.

Gu Yuexi was working so hard because she felt that Lin Chen was facing a very strong enemy, and she had to work hard to cultivate so as not to hold him back and fight alongside him.

After listening to Chen Tongxian's account, Lin Chen's feelings were quite complicated.

Fight side by side?

I couldn't participate in the previous battles, and I didn't even have the right to watch them up close. I could only cower in the distance, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Fortunately, the ascension passage may be rebuilt soon, so it is a good thing that they are working hard to cultivate, so that everyone can ascend to immortality together in the future. Otherwise, wouldn't the two realms be separated again?
Gu Yuexi is in seclusion in the sect's forbidden area and won't be seen for a while, so Lin Chen is hoping to see Chu Jiaxue.

Lin Chen was already close to the mid-stage of the Void Realm. Although his cultivation level wasn't the highest, his combat power was definitely among the top in the world. Moreover, Lin Chen had four half-immortal servants by his side, so he could go anywhere in the world without fear.

They might not have given Lin Chen the respect he deserved in the past, but now Lin Chen is known throughout the world as the Human Emperor. He saved immortals and repelled the demon army. He wants to be with his wife forever. Who would be so foolish as to stop him and offend Lin Chen for that?
The fact that Cangshan and Xuanfeng Sect didn't rush to send them up shows how reserved they were.

However, until the end of the conference, not a single person from the Xuanfeng Sect, or even the four sects of Penglai, showed up, which made Lin Chen realize that something was amiss.

Although Gao Yi was previously the strategist of the Vajra Bandit Gang, the Vajra Bandit Gang's reputation wasn't actually that bad. In addition, since he was Lin Chen's spokesperson, no one cared anymore, and he has now successfully taken on an important position in the Human Race Federation.

Lin Chen, accompanied by his four servants, rushed to Penglai at an extremely fast pace.

Penglai is located at the easternmost part of Donghuangzhou, situated on the sea.

Lin Chen and his group stopped in the coastal city of Tiehai. Chu Jiaxue had mentioned that Tiehai belonged to the Xuanfeng Sect, so Lin Chen planned to gather information there.

Without delay, Lin Chen went straight to the Iron Sea City Lord's Mansion.

"None of the four sects of Penglai participated?"

City Lord Zhang Ying was extremely surprised: "I already had someone report the message to the sect when the messenger sent it. Given the relationship between Mr. Lin and Saintess Chu, the sect wouldn't have failed to send someone..."

Lin Chen's heart sank: "Are you sure you've already reported to the sect?"

"I'm sure," Zhang Ying replied confidently. "I sent my personal guard, and she's here now. Should I summon her and ask her?"

"That's not necessary."

Zhang Ying replied, "When I came to Donghuang Prefecture to participate in the medicinal herb trade festival before, I wanted to visit Penglai, but the timing wasn't right. Now that it's a good time to visit, could you find someone to show me the way?"

"Ok!"

Zhang Ying quickly arranged for Zhao Lan, a personal guard, to lead the way for Lin Chen and the others. She was the one who had gone back to deliver the message earlier.

Zhao Lan led the five people on a flying boat, flying over the vast sea for half a day. A giant island shrouded in white mist appeared before them. The island was shrouded in a barrier, making the entire island appear and disappear, like a mirage.

"Mr. Lin, we've arrived!"

The flying boat broke through the clouds and mist, and a bright and clear view suddenly appeared before us.

Majestic and towering peaks, cascading waterfalls, and soaring cranes create a scene of ethereal paradise.

The flying boat landed on a huge plaza made of white jade. At the end of the white jade plaza was the Penglai Mountain Gate. Beside the mountain gate was a huge rock a hundred meters high. The side facing the crowd was smooth and neat, with two huge characters written in a flamboyant style.

Penglai!

At the mountain gate stood four people, their eyes all fixed on the group: "Who goes there?"

Zhao Lan revealed her Xuanfeng Sect disciple token: "Xuanfeng Sect, Zhao Lan."

The gatekeeper's gaze swept over Lin Chen and the masked Ji Ruxue and the others: "Where are they?"

Zhao Lan frowned and said loudly, "This is the current Emperor Lin, get out of the way at once!"

Human Emperor!

The gatekeepers exchanged a glance, their faces showing undisguised surprise.

"Please wait a moment, I will report to the cave master immediately!"

The four people exchanged glances, and one of them quickly turned around and went into the mountain gate.

Zhao Lan frowned and said, "How can a disciple of Xuanfeng bring an honored guest back to the mountain gate and block the guest from entering?"

An old man at the entrance smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, you are of noble status. Your presence in Penglai is an honor to our humble abode. Please wait a moment, and our cave master will personally come out to greet you. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disrespectful to such a distinguished guest?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "No rush, I'll wait."
