The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2362 The Strange Old Man Who Appeared Silently
Because a large number of cultivators came from the North Sea and the Eastern Empire to watch the sectarian conflict, Yue Shen City was already overcrowded, so many cultivators were sleeping in the wilderness.

It's not unusual for cultivators to sleep in the wilderness, since they all possess magical arts and treasures and don't actually have to endure the elements. However, that doesn't mean they're safe.

Although this is Moon Goddess Island, which falls under the sphere of influence of the Moon Goddess Sect, the sect is only responsible for maintaining order within the city and does not concern itself with the conflicts in the wilderness outside the city. This has resulted in a situation where the city is peaceful, while the outside is constantly embroiled in conflict.

At this time, there was still some time before the sectarian conflict, and neither the Sea God Sect nor the three Eastern Huang sects had arrived.

They may be ready, but they will definitely not show up until closer to the date.

This temporarily thwarted Lin Chen's plan to join the Three Religions of the Eastern Empire, leaving him with no choice but to spend the night in the wilderness like other cultivators.

The valley Lin Chen chose was very remote, and he didn't want to be disturbed.

He set up a simple protective array in the valley, which was a common practice for cultivators to camp in the wild. This kind of temporary protective array was not very powerful; its main function was to provide cover and warning.

Even if you don't take off your clothes while sleeping in the wilderness, who would want to be watched or observed by passersby while they are practicing meditation or sleeping?
Cultivators have very keen senses. Under normal circumstances, they can easily sense someone approaching, whether they are cultivating or sleeping. However, if the other party uses methods to conceal their life force, they may not be able to sense it.

In such a situation, if the other party wants to get close, they will inevitably have to break the formation, and the person controlling the formation will be able to detect the anomaly immediately.

Night fell, and a sudden, brief, violent tremor could be faintly heard in the distance.

Nanan Wushuang looked up: "Are people fighting?"

Lin Chen lay leisurely on the bed and smiled, "With so many cultivators gathered here, and the Moon Goddess Sect not caring about the security outside the city, it's perfectly normal for people to fight."

Lin Chen was telling the truth. Places where cultivators gather in large numbers often mean various conflicts and grudges, and there may even be bandits taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble and plunder property.

Since the Moon Goddess Sect has said they won't interfere outside the city, if anyone gets into trouble or is robbed, they can only accept their bad luck.

Ziyun assessed the situation and laughed, "The exchange was brief, but it's clear that the two sides were vastly different in strength, with one side being completely overwhelmed."

Lin Chen put his hands behind his head and replied leisurely, "There must have been a lot of fighting and killing outside the city these days. As long as others don't provoke us, that's fine. What else is it to us?"

Lin Chen was right. In one night, Lin Chen and the others sensed at least ten battles. Some of these battles ended in one move, while others were fiercely fought, and some even saw people rushing across the sky.

During the day, Lin Chen and his group went to Moon City again and went on a shopping spree, buying a lot of clothes, cosmetics, and other items, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

In the evening, the group returned to the valley they had chosen earlier and started a fire to cook.

Having reached the Great Luo realm, they no longer have much need for food, but that doesn't stop them from enjoying their appetites. Moreover, the ingredients they consume are top-tier rare and precious, beneficial to their cultivation. Lin Chen leisurely cooked the meal, and soon, the aroma wafted over, spreading far and wide.

"This is the last dish, let's eat..."

Lin Chen was taking the last dish out of the pot when he casually said something, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

The three women were chatting with me just now, so why did they suddenly go silent?

Lin Chen suddenly turned around, his body tensing up abruptly.

At the hastily arranged dining table, an elderly man dressed in black leaned closer, gently smelling the dishes laid out on the table.

Lin Chen's heart suddenly clenched, and an undisguised fear flashed in his eyes.

Who is this old man in black?
When did he show up?

It's one thing if I didn't notice him getting closer, but he had already entered the formation and come to the dining table, so close to me, yet I didn't feel his presence at all?

He was standing there, but he was like air, attracting no one's attention.

Nalan Wushuang and the other two women stood to the side, their eyes all fixed on the old man, their eyes filled with terror.

The old man wore a very ordinary robe, simple and old, but very clean. His hair and beard were gray, but very clean. He had only a simple wooden hairpin in his hair, and no other ornaments on his body.

"Yeah, it smells good!"

"Heavenly Fragrance Mycelium, Golden Dragon Abalone...tsk tsk, these are all rare finds."

"We're in for a treat today."

The old man rolled up his sleeves and sat down directly on the stool. At the same time, the last plate of food that Lin Chen had just served flew up and landed in front of the old man.

The old man didn't even glance at Lin Chen. He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily, as if Lin Chen and the others beside him didn't exist at all.

Lin Chen was terrified. Who was this person?
That sounds amazing!
