The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1677 Alliance
"Your sect, sir?"

Lin Chen answered honestly: "Cloud Sky Continent, White Crane Immortal Sect."

The young man in black frowned. Clearly, in his mind, the White Crane Immortal Sect was not a powerful sect. The only powerful one, Su Shaoling, was said to be above the Great Luo realm and had left the Thunder Immortal Domain for thousands of years.

"Ghost King's Tomb".

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled: "A major sect, huh?"

Ghost King's Tomb is one of the ten major immortal sects in Thunder Immortal Realm. Competition among the sects is fierce, and members grow by fighting each other. Generally speaking, the disciples who can emerge from Ghost King's Tomb are all extremely powerful. Their combat skills, experience, cunning, and ruthlessness are far superior to those of disciples from other sects.

"Although the sect is large, I am just an insignificant little figure within it..."

Suddenly, Lin Chen heard a telepathic message in his mind: "Is there a problem here?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. This guy was indeed from the Ghost King's Tomb; he was cunning, shrewd, and quick-witted.

He had deliberately hinted twice that he wanted to leave alive. Others thought he was afraid of group battles, didn't want his consciousness to be sealed, and was afraid of being tricked. But he understood his subtext.

This place is dangerous; it's already a great blessing to be able to leave alive!
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "It's said that the disciples of Ghost King's Tomb are not only ruthless and cunning in their fighting, but also constantly scheming against each other. Today, I've truly witnessed your methods."

While casually replying aloud, Lin Chen answered through his primordial spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness: "I obtained the map and token, and the information I received was that the immortal here had died, leaving behind a legacy of cultivation techniques. However, after entering, Gao Yu is still alive."

"In the first challenge, he instigated everyone to kill each other. Although only a third of the people were killed, it completely changed everyone's mentality, plunging them into hostile relationships and making it difficult for them to unite."

"In the second stage, he used the True Fire of the Sun to continue to lure everyone into fighting. Although he did not require everyone else to be killed, the victor would have to render everyone else incapable of fighting in order to obtain the True Fire of the Sun. In other words, in the end, only one person would still be able to fight, and most likely they would be seriously injured."

"Whether the True Fire of the Sun can be absorbed is one question. Even if it is absorbed, whether the True Scripture of the Sun exists, and whether one can truly receive its inheritance, is another. He has claimed from beginning to end that he is a wisp of remnant soul, yet he has never revealed his true form, only hiding in the shadows..."

The young man in black casually replied, "You say you won't participate in the war, so how can we be sure you won't interfere at the last minute?"

The spirit transmitted a voice: "You mean, this is a trap, and we might all be their prey?"

Lin Chen replied, "Don't forget, I found both the map and the token. Besides, I don't have a fire spirit root. I wouldn't dare risk my life to absorb the true fire of the sun. If I lose my life, no amount of immortal fortune will help."

The primordial spirit transmitted its voice: "I have seen a peak Golden Immortal set up an array under the guise of a birthday banquet, intending to refine all the guests and absorb their essence and blood to break through to a higher realm. This place is mysterious, and I must conserve my energy to deal with possible changes."

"The boundary here is below True Immortal. If the other party truly harbors ill intentions, it means they are likely in a weakened state. Whether it's a resurrection of their true form or preparation for primordial spirit possession, their combat power shouldn't be very strong. With a full-force battle, there's always a chance. If they're severely injured, they'll be like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others." The black-clad youth stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "Fine, I believe you. But I warn you, if you dare to interfere at the end, I'll take you down with me even if it means self-destruction! Don't think you're the only one who dares to self-destruct!"

"cooperate?"

Lin Chen gave a casual reply, answering telepathically, "Okay."

How can we ensure a cooperative spirit?

"I am Su Shaoling's disciple, Lin Chen, the peak master of Tianjian Peak. Is that... enough?"

The young man in black paused for a moment, seemingly surprised, before his eyes lit up with realization.

"Alright, I believe you because of Su Shaoling's reputation. I am Chen Haoran, the Ghost King's Tomb, fourth on the True Immortal Ranking."

Lin Chen was also slightly taken aback. He had thought the young man in black was extraordinary, but he never expected him to have such a background.

"Try to deal with the others first, and lure Gao Yu out first."

"If the Sun Sutra turns out to be true, then we'll decide!"

"The true fire of the sun is not so easy to absorb, so be careful."

Since the other party is ranked fourth on the True Immortal Ranking and is the Ghost King's Tomb Ghost Child, it must mean that he has the strength to fight against Golden Immortals and has many powerful magic weapons, possessing strong combat power. Lin Chen patiently reminded him a few more times.

This person is someone I can work with!

The sun is truly fiery, the sun is truly sacred—is Lin Chen envious?
Naturally, they were envious, but everything before them indicated that this place was not simple, and a moment's carelessness could cost them their lives.

Lin Chen no longer possessed the three destructive sword energies bestowed upon him by a powerful being. Facing a peak Celestial Immortal, even if the opponent's body was weakened or they only possessed a primordial spirit, they were still an extremely powerful being.

Lin Chen wasn't entirely confident that his preparations would be successful, so it was necessary to join forces with Chen Haoran.

Chen Haoran stood up and shouted, "It's settled then! Come on, friends, let's start the party!"
