The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2003 As long as the money is there, even a celestial being can be rendered useless!
"Is this Qingyun Valley ahead?"

"Correct."

Venerable Ziyun's eyes were subtle, gleaming with a cold killing intent.

Returning to this familiar place brought back a flood of memories, instantly turning her mood somber.

Lin Chen asked, "How do we get in?"

Venerable Ziyun replied, "I have a token. If it hasn't been altered, I should be able to enter directly, but it will inevitably arouse suspicion. I am now seen as a traitor by everyone, and they might directly use the Gu worms to control me..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "In that case, you can stay in the Linglong Tower. I'm visiting as a special envoy of the Celestial Palace. I don't think they'll refuse me entry, will they?"

Venerable Ziyun blinked: "Asking for punishment?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Qingyun Valley sent assassins to help the Heavenly Dao Alliance deal with the White Crane Immortal Sect and fight against the Immortal Palace. Whether I am the peak master of the Heavenly Sword Peak of the White Crane Immortal Sect or a special envoy of the Immortal Palace, I am here to question them with a clear conscience."

Venerable Ziyun pursed his lips: "Alright, I'll listen to you. The mother Gu King that controls my body is inside a round, hollow sphere, which hangs on the Valley Master's waist. You can see it as soon as you see him."

Lin Chen kept this in mind: "Should I destroy it, or take it?"

Venerable Ziyun replied, "Take it. Only it can control the Gu worms in my body and make them leave. Otherwise, even if I kill it, without the antidote, the Gu worms in my body will still go out of control."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, don't show yourself for now. As long as you are in the Linglong Tower, even if he is right in front of me, the Queen Gu Worm will not be able to sense your presence and will not be able to control the Gu worms in your body."

"Yes, I'm counting on you for everything."

Venerable Ziyun wasn't worried, after all, Lin Chen still had the Linglong Pagoda, and the giant beasts inside the Linglong Pagoda had already been trained to be obedient by the Dark Ancestral Dragon. As for those unruly and disobedient ones, they had long been directly annihilated by the Dark Ancestral Dragon and fed to Little Gold.

During this period, Xiao Jin devoured the corpses of many ancient bloodline giant beasts, undergoing another transformation and experiencing a surge in strength, comparable to the late stage of a Celestial Immortal. After communicating with it, Lin Chen left it on the Heavenly Sword Peak of the White Crane Immortal Sect, thus leaving a guardian beast for the sect.

Given time, Little Gold will grow to be comparable to a peak Celestial Immortal. With its protection, the White Crane Immortal Sect can enjoy peace for ten thousand years.

Lin Chen summoned the Exquisite Pagoda and took Venerable Ziyun inside. Then, he and Shu Zifeng swaggered towards the gate of Qingyun Valley.

The entrance to Qingyun Valley is very well hidden, nestled among the clouds and mist of a canyon, completely invisible to the naked eye. Moreover, its remote location and steep mountains mean that no one except cultivators could possibly reach this place. Even cultivators, without precise directions, would likely find it difficult to locate the entrance to Qingyun Valley amidst these towering mountains.

Lin Chen shouted loudly, "I am Lin Chen, special envoy of the Immortal Palace, and I request an audience with the Valley Master of Qingyun Valley!"

After waiting for a few minutes, a melodious and deep male voice drifted out from the valley: "My Qingyun Valley lives in seclusion and has no dealings with the Immortal Palace. May I ask what brings the special envoy here?"

Lin Chen said coldly, "I'm here on behalf of the Immortal Palace to ask if your Qingyun Valley is tired of living, daring to send people to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance and help the Heavenly Dao Alliance fight against the Immortal Palace?"

The man's voice held a hint of doubt: "Our Qingyun Valley has never opposed the Immortal Palace, so where did the envoy get this question from?"

Lin Chen sneered, "Did Zhao Yukun, the Blue-Clad Blood Envoy of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, hire your assassins? These assassins followed Zhao Yukun, forcing the Boundless Sword Sect to surrender to the Heavenly Dao Alliance. They also launched a fierce attack on the White Crane Immortal Sect, a loyal subordinate of the Immortal Palace, almost wiping out the entire sect. Doesn't this count as opposing the Immortal Palace?"

The man was silent for a few seconds before laughing and saying, "The envoy has probably misunderstood. Since you have come to Qingyun Valley, you must know a lot about us. All we do is seek wealth and do things for money."

"The Wuji Sword Sect and the White Crane Immortal Sect are both sects on the Cloud Sky Continent. Even if we were to take action, it would be a sect rivalry, not a confrontation with the Immortal Palace. Our Qingyun Valley doesn't have that kind of guts. Of course, if the Immortal Palace needs us, we are willing to fight for the Immortal Palace as long as the price is right."

Lin Chen said coldly, "Is that so? As long as the money is right, even a Celestial Immortal can be rendered useless, right?"

The man chuckled and said, "Yes, we are just trying to make a living and have no intention of opposing the Celestial Palace. Please don't misunderstand, Special Envoy."

Lin Chen sneered: "That's fine then. Since you like doing business, I also have a big deal to discuss with you..."

The man smiled and said, "Please speak, Special Envoy!"

Lin Chen sneered, "I've long heard that your Qingyun Valley is mysterious and unpredictable, but now it seems you're hiding your true colors and don't even dare to show your face, so you just want me to stand at the door and talk business?"

The fog was quiet for a moment, then the clouds and mist churned in the valley, and a gate of light appeared in the fog.

"Special Envoy Lin, please come in!"
