The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1716 Tell me, what can I do for you?
I can't say it, or I'll die.
Lin Chen asked telepathically, "Senior, do you know what kind of technique this is?"

Cao Hechuan replied, "The oath of promise is similar to the great oath of our inner demons. It is a contract of honesty and keeping one's word. Once it is broken, one will be punished. The specific severity of the punishment is determined by the oath."

"People can deceive each other, but they can't deceive the will of Heaven."

Lin Chen seemed to understand: "So the reason why the Heavenly Dao Alliance is so secretive is because of the method of the Oath of Promise?"

Cao Hechuan nodded: "That should be it. This oath of promise is very effective in keeping secrets, but it is not something that ordinary people can do. It must be done by a great being who has mastered the Way of Truth, or by using some kind of instrument made by a great being using the Way of Truth as a medium."

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly: "Does this mean that the Heavenly Dao Alliance has a powerful figure who has mastered the Dao of Truth?"

Cao Hechuan explained, "That's not necessarily true. A medium can also be a commodity, with a price, and can be purchased. In higher immortal realms, such commodities circulate, but the price is very high."

"Isn't the leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance from the Higher Immortal Realm? It's perfectly normal for him to be able to produce something like this. It's even entirely possible that the Heavenly Dao Alliance has the support of a major force from the Higher Immortal Realm."

Lin Chen frowned: "This is really not good news."

Cao Hechuan said with concern, "Indeed, the Heavenly Dao Alliance may be even more powerful than we previously estimated."

Lin Chen wasn't flustered. So what if someone had a powerful background? If he couldn't win, he could just run away.

Go out to cultivate and gain experience. When you're stronger, come back and reclaim everything that was originally yours!
Lin Chen turned to look at Feng Zhiyin and said calmly, "It seems you're not going to make it."

Feng Zhiyin's eyes were filled with despair: "Yes, if I don't tell, you won't let me go; if I do tell, Heaven won't let me go."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Since we're going to die anyway, why not be straightforward and maximize the benefits of our death?"

Feng Zhiyin asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's talk about your son, or someone else, in short, the person you're most worried about right now. How about it? I don't think this will be included in your promise, right?"

Feng Zhiyin understood.

Lin Chen was preparing to negotiate a deal with him. After a moment of silence, he replied, "That doesn't include that."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Look, we've found a place where we can communicate. Tell me, what can I do for you?" Feng Zhiyin looked at Lin Chen, then at Cao Hechuan, who was watching calmly without saying a word, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is he? Can he be the master of the Immortal Palace?"

Cao Hechuan replied, "He is a special envoy of the Immortal Palace and the deputy captain of this operation. He reports directly to the Domain Lord, so... he can make the decision."

Feng Zhiyin looked at Lin Chen in surprise, his face full of disbelief: "Is there no one left in the Immortal Palace? Can a mere Earth Immortal really take on such a great responsibility?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "On the Cloud Sky Continent, I fought against the Red-Clad Blood Envoy Wei Jiao three times and killed two of her Heavenly Immortals. On the Divine Fire Continent, I fought against the Black-Clad Blood Envoy and killed dozens of Golden Immortals and one Heavenly Immortal, and severely injured the Black-Clad Blood Envoy. On the Heavenly Profound Continent, I fought against Wei Jiao again and killed one late-stage Heavenly Immortal. All of these were things I did alone before I came to the Immortal Palace."

"My strength is indeed not high, but I have dealt with the Heavenly Dao Alliance just as much as you have. So far, I am still alive and well, but those Heavenly Immortal powerhouses who thought they could crush me like an ant have been completely annihilated and disappeared from this world."

"I know the Heavenly Dao Alliance is strong, but not as strong as you imagine. Perhaps you think the Heavenly Dao Alliance will inevitably defeat the Immortal Palace and rebuild a new order, but until the very end, who knows what the outcome will be?"

"You may have reasons to place the bet, but I have to say, you placed the bet too hastily and too early."

Feng Zhiyin and the other two looked at Lin Chen with shock in their eyes.

Without relying on the power of the Celestial Palace, he fought against the Red-Clothed Blood Envoy and the Black-Clothed Blood Envoy separately, and not only was he unharmed, he killed several Celestial Immortals, and even the Black-Clothed Blood Envoy was severely injured.

What kind of myths are these?!
Not to mention Feng Zhiyin and the other two, even the other people in the surrounding Immortal Palace were shocked.

This little guy is such a handful!

He single-handedly opposed the Heavenly Alliance and is still alive?

Neither the red-clad blood envoy nor the black-clad blood envoy could do anything to Lin Chen; in fact, the black-clad blood envoy was even severely injured.

Of course, they didn't think that Lin Chen did it all by himself, after all, he was just a lowly immortal. But as a lowly immortal without any background, no matter what he did, the fact that he achieved this level was remarkable in itself!

No wonder Yao Xuanji favored him so much, directly appointing him as the vice-captain. This was clearly an attempt to elevate him and give him sufficient status and influence within the Immortal Palace!

Lin Chen ignored the surprised expressions on everyone's faces and calmly looked at Feng Zhiyin, saying, "Let's talk. Perhaps I can do something for you. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can give me some information before you die—place names, names..."
