The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1796 Bai Mo has become a prisoner?

Zhao Yuan's expression showed some hesitation.

If Lin Chen were just an ordinary disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect, he certainly wouldn't have said much to him. However, Lin Chen is Su Shaoling's disciple, and his status is special, so it's not good to keep quiet.

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, no matter what he has encountered, please explain. Senior Brother Bai is like an elder brother to me, and he is very important to me."

Zhao Yuan sighed: "Some time ago, our Hundred Tribulations Sect and the Azure Dragon Clan fought over a spiritual vein resource. Because we were not well prepared, we were defeated, several experts died, and some were captured. Bai Mo was one of those captured."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "They captured you by the Azure Dragon Clan?"

Zhao Yuan nodded: "Yes, our sect is currently negotiating with the Azure Dragon Clan and trying to find a way to rescue these disciples. If the negotiations go smoothly, we will be able to rescue them soon."

Lin Chen frowned and said, "What if the negotiations don't go smoothly?"

Zhao Yuan frowned, not answering Lin Chen's question directly, but said, "The sect will not abandon any disciple and will do everything in its power to rescue them."

Lin Chen understood.

The sect will do everything in its power to rescue him, but the outcome cannot be guaranteed.

If the negotiations go smoothly, these disciples can return; if they don't, they probably won't be able to come back.

Lin Chen didn't complain. Since Bai Mo had joined the Hundred Tribulations Sect, he was a disciple of the sect. It was only right for him to fight for the sect. If he was captured because he wasn't strong enough, there was nothing that could be done.

The most important thing now is to figure out how to rescue these people.

The first thing that came to Lin Chen's mind was his identity as a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

The dragons live on their own little piece of land and have never given the Celestial Palace any face. The Dragon Spirit Continent is constantly in chaos, and the dragons are all tough fighters. The identity of a Celestial Palace envoy is not very useful.

Lin Chen's second thought was the Black Dragon King. However, the one who fought with the Hundred Tribulations Sect to seize the spiritual vein was the Azure Dragon Clan, not the Black Dragon Clan. Although the Black Dragon King was powerful, he probably couldn't control the Azure Dragon Clan.

If the Black Dragon King were to ask the Azure Dragon Clan for a favor and release Bai Mo, that would probably be feasible. But wouldn't that make the Black Dragon King owe the Azure Dragon Clan a favor?

There are also internal struggles within the dragon race. The Black Dragon King and I have no relationship. Why would he lower his head for me?
If it were him who got into trouble, perhaps the Black Dragon King would help him out of consideration for Yao Xiong's relationship. But his senior brother was an obstacle; he definitely wouldn't be willing. Difficult!
Lin Chen racked his brains for a solution, while simultaneously revealing his new identity: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I am currently in the Immortal Palace as a special envoy. Could this identity play a role in rescuing them?"

A special envoy from the Celestial Palace?

Zhao Yuan was quite surprised. If Su Shaoling's status as a disciple could earn him a little more respect, then his status as a special envoy of the Immortal Palace deserved his utmost respect.

The Celestial Palace is currently at war with the Heavenly Dao Alliance. In one battle, it wiped out more than ten Celestial Immortals, hundreds of Golden Immortals and True Immortals from the southern branch of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. This is quite a shocking event.

Everyone realized that even if the one currently in charge of the Immortal Palace was not the powerful Yao Xiong, but only his daughter Yao Xuanji, the Immortal Palace still possessed terrifying combat power to suppress any sect.

Even if you don't like the Celestial Palace and are unwilling to obey its orders, you must still show it enough respect, otherwise you might bring disaster upon yourself!
Lin Chen revealed his own token, proving his identity as a special envoy of the Celestial Palace.

Zhao Yuan's expression instantly became much more respectful, and he bowed again, saying, "So it's Special Envoy Lin. Please forgive my previous neglect!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are too kind. I originally just came to visit an old friend, but who knew I would encounter such a thing. So I hope to rescue the person safely. If possible, I would like to know more about the situation and participate in the next rescue operation."

Lin Chen's act of posing as a special envoy of the Immortal Palace was clearly intended to elevate his own status and put pressure on the Hundred Tribulations Sect, urging them to do everything possible to rescue Bai Mo and not to give up on him easily.

If there are huge benefits involved, it's normal for most sects to give up some less important disciples. Not every sect is as harmonious as the master and disciples of Hengshan Sect in Nanyue.

Zhao Yuan nodded: "That's no problem at all, Special Envoy Lin. Please wait a moment. I will ask Elder Liu Qingshan, who is in charge of this matter, to come over and explain it to you in person."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Zhao!"

Zhao Yuan said politely, "Special Envoy Lin, you're too kind. This is what we should do."

Soon, an elderly man with white hair and an air of otherworldly wisdom arrived in front of Lin Chen, cupped his hands in greeting, and spoke in a polite and respectful tone: "Elder Liu Qingshan of the Hundred Tribulations Sect greets Special Envoy Lin!"

Lin Chen returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Elder Liu, you are too kind. I apologize for the intrusion and for disturbing you."

Liu Qingshan stepped aside: "Special Envoy Lin, this is not a suitable place to talk. Please come with me!"
