The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2537: A Lingering Feeling of Resentment

"Wu Baiyu?"

Fan Tianxing looked at the half-compass in front of him, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

He reached out and took the compass, gently stroking its old patterns.

This compass was clearly a magical artifact, but it looked as if it had been sliced ​​in half by a sharp blade, rendering it useless.

Fan Tianxing remained silent for a while before finally speaking, "What do you want to do?"

Shangguan Wenyin cupped his hands and said, "This junior may ask, when you passed the position of sect leader to the current sect leader, were you subjected to some kind of scheme, and it was a helpless move?"

"Yes."

Fan Tianxing sighed: "He misjudged people and fell into a trap. He has no one to blame but himself."

Shangguan Wenyin asked in confusion, "Since you were murdered, why haven't you revealed the truth after all these years?"

Fan Tianxing shook his head and said, "Back then, he poisoned me with the 'Ashes of Calamity' and I almost died. His men kept chasing me. In the end, I faked my death and pretended to be a prisoner to escape into this land of exile, which was how I barely managed to get away."

"He may have found some clues later and sent people in here to continue searching for me. I hid on the seabed with the help of this giant turtle to avoid the power of the tides."

"The poison of the Ashes of Calamity severely injured me and greatly diminished my strength. I have been hiding here for so long, and my strength has only recovered to about 70% at most."

"If I were to fight that person one-on-one, I would be no match for him. So even if I leave here, even if I want to deal with that person, I'm afraid I'll be willing but unable to do so."

Shangguan Wenyin said in a deep voice, "Senior, you have a high reputation within the sect. Even though you are injured now, as long as you are willing to stand up and reveal the truth about his past plot against you, I think most of the sect members would be willing to follow you."

"In the years since you left, the Sea God Sect has gone from its zenith to its current state of decay and collapse, and it has reached the point where it must be reformed. You wouldn't want to see the Sea God Sect fall apart, would you?"

"Since Dean Wu gave me this token and asked me to find you, it's clear that he supports you. With the support of the Elders' Council, you certainly won't lose to him."

Fan Tianxing stared at Shangguan Wenyin: "I heard you were punished by him to be here for a hundred years... all for the Sea God Cult?"

Shangguan Wenyin calmly replied, "Although he listened to Wei Deyuan and made me take responsibility for the defeat in the competition with the three religions, I don't hate him for that alone."

"The Sea of ​​Bitterness may be a prison for others, but for me, it is a place of cultivation. I have only been here for a few years, but I have already broken through to the Carp Dragon Realm, and now my strength is steadily increasing." "The position of Holy Son is more of a responsibility than a privilege for me. Since I am still in this position, I must do things that are beneficial to the Sea God Sect. If you suspect that I am doing this for my own selfish reasons, you can remove me from the position of Holy Son afterward and select a new one based on merit."

After a pause, Shangguan Wenyin said calmly and confidently, "I can say with certainty that among the younger generation of disciples, no one is more outstanding than me."

Fan Tianxing nodded calmly: "You're quite confident."

Shangguan Wenyin cupped his hands and said, "Please, senior, come out of seclusion, revitalize the Sea God Sect, and restore its former glory!"

Fan Tianxing stared at the half-compass in his hand for a long while before sighing softly, "Alright, so much time has passed, but I still can't let it go. Let's go out then."

Shangguan Wenyin was overjoyed and invited Fan Tianxing to come out of seclusion. Although he, as the Holy Son, had staked everything, he was not afraid.

As he said, he was deeply saddened by the fact that the Sea God Sect was now colluding with each other, and he wanted to correct all of this. As for the people he was correcting, Shangguan Wenyin did not discriminate against any one of them.

If you are a follower, then correct the follower; if you are a leader, then correct the leader!
Furthermore, now that he has confirmed that the cult leader came to power through despicable means and almost killed the renowned Fan Tianxing, he naturally hopes even more to set things right and correct all of this.

"Since you're leaving, then prepare to depart, but don't alert anyone..."

Shangguan Wenyin nodded: "That's for sure. My lifespan is still a long way off. If I'm discovered, it will definitely alarm them."

Fan Tianxing asked, "How do you plan to get out?"

Shangguan Wenyin looked at Lin Chen, and Lin Chen nodded to him.

Shangguan Wenyin nodded and said, "He has a magical artifact that can hide people and isolate them from all traces of their presence, which can lead us out."

Fan Tianxing turned and glanced at Lin Chen: "He's your subordinate? He cultivates the Qi Refining Path..."

Lin Chen was startled. As expected of the old sect leader!
Now that Shangguan Wenyin had persuaded Fan Tianxing, Lin Chen no longer concealed his identity and cupped his hands, saying, "Lin Chen, disciple of Fuyunzi of Longyun Mountain, Longshan Sect, greets senior."

Fan Tianxing frowned: "Are you Fuyunzi's disciple?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I have concealed something before, please forgive me, senior. I came here this time not only because I have some personal matters to ask the Holy Son for help with, but also because I have been entrusted by the Li family of the Sea God Sect to rescue the Holy Son..."
