The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1757 This guy is a really smooth liar
"and many more!"

In the mist, Chu Yue suddenly stopped and turned to look behind him: "Something is following us."

The two looked at each other and saw the expectation in each other's eyes.

Could it be a seven-colored jade rhinoceros?

"Hide!"

The two dropped the Xuan Shui Clams they were holding, and Lin Chen casually tossed the array flags of the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Array around them, preparing for battle.

As the mist swirled, a massive figure emerged from it—a one-horned rhinoceros with a single horn atop its head. Unlike the black horn of ordinary rhinoceroses, this horn was as lustrous as jade, with shimmering light and shifting colors, making it look quite magical.

Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros!

Lin Chen and Chu Yue were overjoyed, but they didn't rush to make a move.

The Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros emerged from the mist and walked to the corpse of the Mysterious Water Clam, its expression a mixture of excitement and doubt.

It followed the strong fishy smell, only to find a dead monster in front of it.

How can a dead monster run away?
It looked around but found nothing unusual, so it stopped worrying and began to tear the corpse of the water clam into pieces and start eating.

"How to do?"

Lin Chen was momentarily confused and rushed forward to start killing?

It is said that although the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros is very docile, judging from the scene of it devouring meat and leaving blood everywhere, it is obviously a powerful hunter with strength comparable to a peak Celestial Immortal. If it gets angry, who can withstand it?
But if we don't go up there, how can we get the horn of the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros?

The two looked at each other, neither able to come up with an effective solution for a moment.

Why don't you just go out and say hello?

Didn't someone say that they successfully removed the horn of the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros without any fighting?
"Will the poison from the Mystic Water Clam have any effect?"

Lin Chen examined it carefully and replied, "The areas it tore at are all unpoisoned areas, so I'm afraid that won't work."

Chu Yue smiled wryly, "We were unprepared. If we had known, we would have hidden some poison pills on the Xuan Shui Clam. Once it was poisoned and weakened, we could have taken the opportunity to steal its horn!"

Lin Chen said helplessly, "No matter what, let's try to step in. If that doesn't work, let's try using an array to see if we can trap it."

Lin Chen wondered if he could slowly freeze it by releasing the cold air from the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Formation, and then take its horn.

The two emerged from their hiding place. The seven-colored jade rhinoceros, which was eating, suddenly raised its head and looked at Lin Chen and the other person warily.

Lin Chen examined the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros, secretly surprised. It was clearly a terrifying beast comparable to a peak Celestial Immortal, but was the wary look in its eyes, like that of a deer, for real?
Don't you know how amazing you are?

Lin Chen stretched out his right hand, trying to communicate with the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros: "Hey, don't be nervous, we need your horn, but we won't hurt you..." Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, someone suddenly approached from the air.

"You two brats, have you seen any disciples of my Five Poisons Hall... Huh?"

The Five Poisons Elder, the sect leader of the Five Poisons Hall, emerged from the mist, but his gaze was suddenly drawn to the seven-colored jade rhinoceros in front of him.

"Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros!"

The Five Poisons Elder's eyes revealed a look of surprise: "There really is one."

Lin Chen and Chu Yue exchanged a glance, both of them filled with a strong sense of vigilance and crisis.

This old man exuded a powerful and unsettling aura of oppression.

Furthermore, he said "a disciple of my Five Poisons Hall," and considering his age, could he be the Five Poisons Elder, the sect leader of the Five Poisons Hall?

The Five Poisons Elder, whom even other peak Celestial Immortals and Immortal Lords feared?

The Five Poisons Elder's gaze fell on the corpse of the Xuan Shui Toad, and his brows furrowed: "The wounds on this Xuan Shui Toad were inflicted by the poison array of my Five Poisons Hall. The Xuan Shui Toad's corpse is here, but my Five Poisons Hall's disciple is dead... Who killed him?"

The Five Poisons Elder's gaze fell on Lin Chen and the other person, his eyes were gloomy and filled with murderous intent.

Lin Chen quickly replied, "They fought a masked man, were trapped by his formation, and were all killed..."

Chu Yue blinked subconsciously, forcing himself not to turn his head.

This guy is a really smooth liar!

The Five Poisons Elder coldly said, "Since you were watching from the side, why didn't that person kill you all as well? Why is the corpse of the Xuan Shui Toad here with you?"

Lin Chen, without changing his expression, took out the Celestial Palace Token, infused it with spiritual energy, and activated the image: "Because I am a special envoy of the Celestial Palace."

The Five Poisons Elder frowned, but accepted Lin Chen's explanation.

Although he ignored the Immortal Palace, it didn't mean he dared to directly provoke them.

If there's no life-or-death benefit involved, why take the risk?
If they oppose the Immortal Palace, can the Five Poisons Hall still exist?
The masked man probably had the same thought, so he let Lin Chen go.

Why did he kill my Five Poisons Hall disciples?

Lin Chen explained, "The disciples of the Five Poisons Hall found a lake and discovered the Xuan Shui Clam in it. They set up a binding array and a poison array to kill the Xuan Shui Clam. The masked man also came over. The disciples of the Five Poisons Hall told him to leave, saying that the Xuan Shui Clam was already theirs."

"The masked man, however, showed no respect and even attacked directly, killing the Xuan Shui Toad, and then the two sides started fighting..."
