The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1672 The Arena of Life and Death

Lin Chen's vision blurred, and he found himself in a stone chamber. The chamber was large and completely empty.

Behind Lin Chen stood a portal of light. Liu Yuqi and Fan Cuihong walked out of the portal, looking around with curiosity and excitement.

Lin Chen frowned because he couldn't see a door leading elsewhere.

The map and token are both valid, so this cave has obviously never been opened. So what is the purpose of such a large space?
The light gate rippled, and figures walked in one after another, men and women; in the blink of an eye, dozens of people entered.

These people included men, women, young and old, and all of them had their eyes on Lin Chen.

"Fellow Daoist, you found the cave dwelling, and you opened the door?"

Lin Chen shrugged: "This question doesn't seem important right now. If I said yes, would you leave everything untouched and let me take everything?"

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly realized that what Lin Chen said made a lot of sense!
Since we're already here, so what if you opened the door?

A middle-aged man in blue robes from the crowd replied, "Opportunities are only for those who are destined to have them. Now that everyone has come in, it is only natural that we should each compete for our own opportunities based on our own strength. Don't you all agree?"

Immediately, a large number of people around him answered and agreed.

"Yes, what you get depends on who's capable!"

"Each one depends on his ability!"

"Makes sense!"

Others nearby retorted, "The one speaking is from the Qishan Plum King Sect, right? You have the most people here, do you intend to use your numerical advantage to monopolize all the benefits here?"

Upon hearing this, the people around immediately moved away from the Qishan Meiwang Sect disciples dressed in blue robes. The crowd split into two groups: one group consisted of Qishan Meiwang Sect disciples, making up about one-third of the total, while the other group consisted of scattered cultivators from various sects and schools, making up the remaining two-thirds.

Lin Chen led Liu Yuqi and Fan Cuihong a few steps to the side, standing on the side of the scattered cultivators.

Many people saw Lin Chen's actions, but no one paid much attention.

As Lin Chen said, the cave entrance is now open, and no one will target Lin Chen anymore. Now it's all about individual ability, and the biggest opponent is obviously the Qishan Plum King Sect members guarding this place.

The man in blue who had spoken earlier frowned slightly. He had indeed received instructions from the sect's higher-ups to lead other disciples in seizing everything of value from the cave.

Although there were still powerful figures from within the sect guarding the outside, Golden Immortals could not pass through that gate of light. In terms of the number of people who entered this place, they would be at a disadvantage if a battle broke out.

He turned and looked around, then said in a deep voice, "There's nothing here. We don't even know if there's anything inside. If we start a fight here and cause a bloodbath, only to find nothing in the end, wouldn't that be a joke?"

Everyone thought it made sense. Even if they were going to rob or fight, they should at least see the item first. Besides, there were powerful members of the Qishan Meiwang Sect guarding the outside. If they killed someone from the Qishan Meiwang Sect, how would they leave?

"But there isn't even a door here, where can we go?"

"Are we going to break through the wall?"

"Let's search around and see if there are any hidden paths?"

The group temporarily set aside their hostility and began searching for possible paths in the surrounding area.

The man in blue breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Don't make a move yet. Once we find the treasure, we'll all act together. You help me intercept the others, and I'll be responsible for seizing the treasure. After it's done, everyone will get credit, everyone can learn the cultivation techniques, and the treasure will be converted into sect merits!"

"Yes!"

The man in blue waved his hand: "Search and see if you find anything."

The group split up and searched all the open spaces, but found nothing.

"What does this mean? It's completely empty, there's nothing there?"

"Could someone have come in first and taken everything away?"

"They moved everything out too cleanly, that's impossible!"

In a corner, Liu Yuqi asked in a low voice, "Young Master, what should we do?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No rush, let's take a look first."

Just as everyone was puzzled, a voice suddenly rang out in the empty room.

"I am Gao Yu from the Northern Star Immortal Realm. I was hunted down for stealing the Sun True Scripture, the top-level secret technique of the Sun God Palace of the Northern Star Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, I perished here, leaving behind a remnant of my soul to await a destined person."

Everyone was overjoyed and looked around, but they couldn't find where the sound came from.

“Cultivating the True Scripture of the Sun requires immense perseverance, profound good fortune, and a strong physique. Moreover, there is only one such opportunity, so only one person will receive it. Those who wish to obtain this opportunity must overcome the challenges I have set and pass through the trials of life and death.”

"The place where you are is the first test of life and death that I have set up: the arena."

Gladiator arena?
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow; this guy seemed to be up to something!
Sure enough, the next second, the aged voice carried a sharp killing intent: "Kill one-third of the people present, and the door to the next level will open; otherwise, you will be trapped here forever!"
