The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1991 Junior Uncle, don't shoulder everything alone!
Lin Chen paused as soon as he stepped into the mountain gate.

The White Crane Immortal Sect has many main peaks, with numerous buildings and cultivators on them. However, what Lin Chen saw before him was a scene of ruins.

Several main peaks have collapsed, turning into piles of rubble.

The magnificent scene of the past is long gone, leaving only the desolation after the great war.

Lin Chen asked, "Is the Sect Master here?"

The disciple replied, "The sect leader has been unconscious since the battle, the grandmaster was seriously injured, and many senior uncles and senior masters have died. Currently, it is Senior Uncle Zhou Ting who is in charge of sect affairs..."

A surge of rage welled up in Lin Chen's heart. He was unsure whether he was responsible for this tragedy.

If so, how would he face these fellow disciples who died or were injured?

"Take me to him."

"Grandmaster Uncle, please follow me!"

On a still-standing giant peak, Lin Chen met Zhou Ting, the current manager of the White Crane Immortal Sect.

Zhou Ting was studying the prescription with a worried expression when she saw Lin Chen. Her eyes lit up and she dropped the prescription in her hand.

"Junior Uncle! You're back! The Sect Master is saved!"

Lin Chen stopped Zhou Ting, who was about to bow, and said, "Tell me what happened."

Zhou Ting respectfully replied, "Half a year ago, a group of people suddenly came to the sect. They claimed to have important matters concerning the life and death of the White Crane Immortal Sect to discuss. After the sect leader and others arrived at the main hall, they revealed their true colors. They were all people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance. The leader claimed to be Zhao Yukun, the Blue-Clad Blood Envoy of the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

"Zhao Yukun demanded that the entire White Crane Immortal Sect submit to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, or else be killed without mercy. Naturally, we would not agree. The sect leader sternly refused. This group of people came prepared and immediately attacked the sect leader and everyone else."

"Although there were formations in the main hall, these people were too powerful. Several of them were powerful Celestial Immortals. Even with the protection of the formations, we still suffered heavy casualties." "They attacked our main peak directly, and several peaks fell one after another. Our grandmaster broke out of seclusion and risked his life to use the sect's formations to instantly repel these people a hundred miles away. In that short time, he activated the mountain-protecting formation, thus preventing the entire sect from being slaughtered."

"Our grandmaster is seriously injured, the sect leader is in a coma, the higher-ups have suffered heavy casualties, and countless disciples have also been injured or killed. We dared not go out at all, so we could only keep the great formation open and the mountain gate closed until today when our uncle returned... Uncle, didn't anyone stop you outside?"

Immortal Lord Ziyun replied, "When I approached the White Crane Immortal Sect, there were indeed people spying on me, but I assumed they were from the White Crane Immortal Sect and didn't pay much attention..."

Zhou Ting said with a wry smile, "It seems they haven't given up their evil intentions and have sent people to guard us."

Lin Chen fell into thought. Half a year ago, around the time Yao Xiong returned and defeated Xuan Yuan Feiying, the Blue-Clad Blood Envoy of the Cloud Sky Continent suddenly revealed his identity and attacked the White Crane Immortal Sect. Was this an order given before Xuan Yuan Feiying made his move, or an order given after his defeat?
If it's the former, it means the other party has ambitions to sweep across the Immortal Realm, causing blood envoys from various continents to rise up and create momentum. If it's the latter, it might be a tactic of Xuanyuan Feiying sacrificing a pawn to save the king.
To get these blood envoys from the continents moving, attract the attention of the Celestial Palace, and thus protect their main force from being noticed?
Did they explain why they chose the White Crane Immortal Sect as their target?

Zhou Ting replied, "Our White Crane Immortal Sect has always been a loyal follower of the Immortal Palace, and we were also a major force in welcoming back Fairy Xuanji. If followers of the Immortal Palace like us submit, then others will naturally stop struggling. If we are unwilling, then they will make an example of us, and the effect will be the same..."

Lin Chen confirmed, "Did they mention me?"

Zhou Ting was taken aback for a moment, then asked with slight confusion, "No, why do you say that, Uncle-Master?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly, "I saved Yao Xuanji and thwarted the Red-Clad Blood Envoy Wei Jiao's schemes several times. I'm afraid they're taking their anger out on the White Crane Immortal Sect because of me..."

Zhou Ting suddenly realized and said with certainty, "Uncle, you are overthinking it. We are followers of the Immortal Palace, and it is our duty to save Fairy Xuanji. If the Heavenly Dao Alliance wants to deal with the Immortal Palace, it will naturally target us first. This matter should have nothing to do with you, Uncle."

"Even if there is some connection, everything you've done is aboveboard, and we are fully aware of and support you. If there are consequences, we will naturally share the responsibility. How can we let you, Junior Uncle, bear the responsibility alone?"

"Our White Crane Immortal Sect may not be considered a top-tier sect, but we have had our glory days, and we have face and responsibility. Junior Uncle, please don't shoulder this burden alone..."

Lin Chen nodded and said calmly, "No matter what, now that I'm back, I will definitely get justice. But before that, take me to see the injured people. Perhaps I can refine some pills to help..."
