The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2529 Searching for the Previous Sea God, for the Sea God Cult!

"What's wrong? Can I help you?"

Although Lin Chen had found Shangguan Wenyin, whether he left or not, the mission would be considered complete. However, out of his admiration for Shangguan Wenyin, Lin Chen still hoped to help him leave early so that he wouldn't have to stay in this godforsaken place for a hundred years.

Shangguan Wenyin hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is too dangerous, and it's a private matter for me. I don't want to implicate you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If you can, you can tell me, and I'll decide whether to help you. What if I can?"

Shangguan Wenyin looked at Lin Chen, thought for a moment and said, "You haven't finished talking about what you wanted to tell me. Please continue."

Lin Chen didn't hesitate and readily said, "I want your top-grade mantra absorption technique. If that's not possible, just refuse me. If it is, you can name your terms."

Without any hesitation or thought, Shangguan Wenyin smiled and said, "I can give it to you, just don't tell anyone that I sent it to you."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. From Li Yunruo's words, he had learned that the management of the Willpower Absorption Technique was not very strict. Shangguan Wenyin might have agreed to it, but he did not expect the other party to agree so readily.

"I am a member of the Dragon Mountain Sect. Isn't this technique a top secret of your Sea God Sect? Why did you agree so readily?"

Shangguan Wenyin said with a subtle look in his eyes, "It's said to be top secret, but within the sect, all the powerful factions, as long as they are highly talented disciples, are practicing top-grade cultivation techniques..."

"While the technique for absorbing the power of will is important, the power of will is the most important. Without the power of will, what use is even the best absorption technique?"

Listening to Shangguan Wenyin's words, Lin Chen felt that he had changed a lot since then. He seemed to be full of disappointment with the Sea God Sect and was no longer as passionate and loyal as before.

"Thanks, I've obtained some wish power. Don't worry, it wasn't stolen by the people who killed you. Someone was parasitizing your Sea God Cult, and we killed them by chance. In a way, we've cleansed you of parasites..."

Lin Chen briefly explained the situation with the Black Demon Sect, and Shangguan Wenyin sighed: "The Sea God Sect is like a bloated giant, covered in sores and festering sores, with green-headed flies trying to swarm around it everywhere..."

Shangguan Wenyin handed over a jade slip: "This contains my cultivation method for absorbing the power of vows. It's not complicated. Take a look, understand it, and then return the jade slip to me."

Lin Chen accepted it without ceremony, and finally asked, "Tell me about your situation?"

Shangguan Wenyin looked at Lin Chen, then at Shang Wenyan, his expression hesitant.

Shang Wenyan chuckled and said, "How about I excuse myself for a moment, and you two talk?"

Shangguan Wenyin shook his head: "No need... I want to find the previous leader, the previous Sea God..."

Lin Chen was taken aback: "The previous Sea God is here?" Shangguan Wenyin's voice was solemn: "Yes."

Lin Chen subconsciously lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Are you looking for his belongings or for him in person?"

Shangguan Wenyin lowered his voice, making it sound solemn and eerie: "I suspect he is still alive."

Lin Chen's face showed a look of shock: "Your current leader, who is also the current Sea God, has been in office for quite some time now, hasn't he? Could it be that the previous Sea God went into seclusion here after relinquishing power?"

Shangguan Wenyin sighed: "Now that we've come this far, I won't hide it from you. Actually, there are rumors circulating within the sect about this, but no one dares to bring it up or question it."

Lin Chen pricked up his ears; his intuition told him that he was probably about to hear a major secret about the Sea God Cult.

Shangguan Wenyin said in a deep voice: "There was a rumor that the current leader rebelled and usurped the throne, harming the previous leader, which is why he took over as leader."

Lin Chen turned his head slightly and stared at Shangguan Wenyin with a look of surprise and suspicion.

"The current leader punished you by sending you here, and now you're here to find the previous leader. What do you want?"

Shangguan Wenyin said in a deep voice, "I want to find the truth. Also, if the previous leader is really still alive, and if he was really framed and forced to take the throne, then I hope I can do something. You know, when the previous leader was in power, the sect was definitely not as corrupt as it is now. If it continues like this, I'm afraid the Sea God Sect will not live much longer."

Is Shangguan Wenyin planning a rebellion?

To set things right?

Lin Chen was also shocked by Shangguan Wenyin's idea: "Friend, your idea is very dangerous..."

Shangguan Wenyin said in a deep voice, "If I can find the previous leader and return to the Sea God Sect, not everyone will stand on the side of the current leader. The old leader's prestige is far beyond what he can match."

"After the current leader took office, he ruthlessly suppressed the forces loyal to the old leader, causing a split in the sect. Although many forces dare not take action, as long as the old leader returns and raises his arms, they will surely rise up, follow the old leader, and overthrow the current leader."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I understand that, but what is your motivation? Is it because the current leader is suppressing you, which makes you want to rebel against him..."

Shangguan Wenyin interrupted Lin Chen and calmly said, "Everything is for the Sea God Sect!"
