The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2108 The Comatose Young Man
"They just left like that..."

Inside the Linglong Tower, Lin Chen, having witnessed the entire spectacular drama, sighed, "This time, the Five Directions Immortal Sect truly suffered a double loss. They coerced a thousand people to break into a grave, earning a bad reputation, but in the end, they didn't even gain a single hair. Many of their disciples were killed, three Grand Luo Venerables died, and they used up many powerful secret treasures..."

Venerable Ziyun laughed and said, "Everything they did was to find the cultivation techniques of the One Emperor, Two Kings, and Three Sovereigns, but who knew they would actually find a living one? This is a powerful figure that their Five Directions Immortal Sect can't compare to."

Shu Zifeng asked curiously, "Did the person in the coffin eventually die?"

Lin Chen's gaze fell on Qi: "Sister Qi, what do you think?"

Qi Ping shook his head calmly: "The commotion was too great at the time, so it was impossible to perceive or judge. However, I personally think he may have been injured and escaped."

Lin Chen immediately perked up: "Not dead?"

Qi replied, "The Carefree Dragon Lord is a Great Luo Primordial Immortal, while those who just made their move were all Great Luo Profound Immortals. The difference in their realms is too great. Even if they used powerful secret treasures, it's not so easy to completely kill a Great Luo Primordial Immortal. Even a broken ship has three pounds of nails. Even if a Great Luo Primordial Immortal has just awakened, how can he be killed so cleanly and neatly?"

Venerable Ziyun nodded: "I think so too. Since he set up the Thousand Graves to awaken the essence blood, there must be other preparations in the black coffin. After all, the existence that can break the Thousand Graves must be a considerable force."

Lin Chen thought it made sense.

"This is going to be interesting. We came here to explore the secret realm, but now a super powerful being has been resurrected there. It seems that things will not be peaceful in the secret realm from now on."

Venerable Ziyun asked, "What's the next step?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Let's go find Xiao Shubo and the others and continue our adventure. With the resurrection of the Carefree Dragon Lord, the Five Directions Immortal Sect is probably in trouble. Hehe, if the Three Saints Sect runs into him, that would be awesome!"

Venerable Ziyun laughed and said, "This secret realm is boundless, and it's not easy to stumble upon it."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Of course, isn't that exactly what I've been hoping for?"

Fearing discovery, Xiao Shubo and the others remained inside the cave. As Lin Chen walked in from outside, their expressions became rather subtle.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you're back."

Lin Chen, now reverting to his old-man appearance, smiled and asked, "Yes, are you all alright?"

Hong Guiling replied with lingering fear, "We were tracked here by someone using the Water Mirror Technique. Fortunately, we concealed our presence, so that person didn't discover us and didn't have time to search us, which allowed us to escape. In fact, we should thank you for your ability to conceal our presence; otherwise, we might have been discovered."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright. Now that the people from the Five Directions Immortal Sect have left, there is no danger anymore, and we can continue our exploration."

Fearing discovery after cutting the water mirror, the four dared not move again. Hearing Lin Chen's words, Song Jun asked curiously, "They retreated. Did they find anything?" Lin Chen recounted the events in the valley to everyone: "I only found out because I met an adventurer who had been captured to desecrate graves but miraculously survived..."

The Carefree Dragon Lord didn't die, he's awakened?

The Five Immortal Sects were almost completely wiped out?

Xiao Shubo and the other three were all stunned by the news. Thinking back to how they had actually tried to take advantage of the situation, they felt a deep sense of fear.

I'm really like an old man who hangs himself; I'm tired of living.

After calming themselves down, the five of them set off again.

Although they were quite dissatisfied with Lin Chen's previous behavior of "being afraid of death" and running away alone, they no longer had any complaints about Lin Chen because his Life and Death Technique helped them overcome a major crisis.

Putting aside other matters, Lin Chen's technique of concealing one's life force might come in handy in the future when facing another crisis. After all, they might be facing powerful demonic beasts or powerful adventurers. Concealing one's life force and preventing the opponent from finding one is incredibly useful, isn't it?

The five set off again, naturally led by the chosen one, Xiao Shubo. The previous setbacks did not seem to have diminished Xiao Shubo's luck; they traveled thousands of miles and acquired many more good things.

"Roar!"

The fierce roars of demonic beasts came from the horizon, sounding as if a fierce battle was taking place.

No one was surprised; such things happen from time to time.

Perhaps it's monsters fighting each other, or perhaps it's monsters fighting adventurers. Didn't you pick up a pair of frost giant elephant tusks before?
The group cautiously approached, but all they saw was a wrecked forest; they couldn't find any trace of the monsters.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Lu Xinyan suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Hey, isn't that a person?"

Following the direction Lu Xinyan pointed, everyone looked and sure enough, someone lay motionless on the grass by the river.

"Go and see!"

As the crowd approached, they saw clearly what the person lying on the ground looked like. He was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth, handsome features, and his eyes were closed; he was unconscious.

Hong Guiling looked around: "Has it been attacked by a monster? Coming to the secret realm at such a young age, they really aren't afraid of death..."
