The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2562 The Seal of the Sea God
The Sea God Cult has a supreme leader.

Below the leader are two vice leaders and the Holy Son.

The deputy leader is the leader's assistant.

The Holy Son is the successor chosen by the leader of the church, and is the next leader.

Even the vice-leader has absolutely no chance of succeeding the leader. So even though the vice-leader's position is higher than the Holy Son's, his real power is less than the Holy Son's.

Although the current leader, Han Zongji, has confirmed Shangguan Wenyin's position as the Holy Son, he does not like Shangguan Wenyin because Shangguan Wenyin is loyal to the Sea God Sect, not the leader.

If possible, he would definitely support someone loyal to him to become the Holy Son, but unfortunately, he was hopeless. Shangguan Wenyin took the lead and others couldn't catch up with him. He gained the support of the Dean of the Elder Council, so Han Zongji had no choice but to accept it for the time being.

For this reason, in the conflict between sects, when the Sea God Sect was not in power, the Holy Son should have been the leader. However, Han Zongji used the excuse that the Holy Son was too young to shoulder such a great responsibility, so he appointed Wei Deyuan as the person in charge, thus stripping Shangguan Wenyin of his power.

After the Sea God Sect was defeated, Han Zongji knew that the responsibility did not lie with the Holy Son Shangguan Wenyin, but he still used this as a pretext to sentence Shangguan Wenyin to exile in the Bitter Sea for a hundred years, and at the same time established the acting Holy Son Yuwen Yuanshan.

Now that Fan Tianxing has regained power, he has given Shangguan Wenyin sufficient authority.

One person is inferior to ten thousand people.

Although two new vice-leaders have been appointed, their power is not significant.

After Fan Tianxing regained his position as leader, he lived a secluded life and rarely appeared in public. Many people speculated that he was seriously injured in that battle and was now recovering.

With Fan Tianxing's authorization, the Holy Son Shangguan Wenyin carried out a sweeping overhaul of the entire Sea God Sect, resulting in the purge of countless factions and followers.

Even now, the purge is still ongoing, and the entire Sea God Cult is in a state of panic, with everyone feeling insecure.

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh, "He's using his position as Holy Son to exercise the power of a sect leader. He can finally do what he wants to do..."

Shang Wenyan smiled and said, "Yes, he finally got what he wanted."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Since we're not far apart, let's go pay him a visit as a farewell congratulation. We can also interview him and ask how he's feeling, whether he's having a great time."

Shang Wenyan was amused by Lin Chen's words and smiled brightly: "Compared to being depressed before, it must feel great to be bold and do what I want to do now."

The two walked hand in hand toward the headquarters of the Sea God Cult.

Five days later, Lin Chen and his companion met Shangguan Wenyin, whom they had not seen for more than a year.

Upon seeing the two, Shangguan Wenyin smiled happily. "I was just saying I'd write to you after I finished this busy period, inviting you to come visit, but you came on your own..."

Lin Chen shrugged and joked, "After we separated from you, we found a place nearby to cultivate until today. When we inquired, we learned that you had successfully seized the throne. Since it's not far, we came to check it out."

"How does it feel to wield the power of a sect leader as the Holy Son and reform the entire Sea God Cult?"

"tired!"

Shangguan Wenyin gave a wry smile: "The Sea God Sect is like a giant covered in festering sores. How easy is it to remove all the sores?"

"I've been incredibly busy this past year, and so far I've only managed to achieve some results. I don't know how long it will take to make a complete change."

Lin Chen comforted him, saying, "As long as you're on the right path, no matter how far the destination is, every step you take brings you closer to it. As long as you keep moving forward, you'll definitely reach it."

Shangguan Wenyin laughed heartily: "I never expected that it would be you, a disciple of the Longshan Sect, who would comfort and encourage me..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We are rivals, but not enemies. There's no need to worry."

The joke was over, and Lin Chen's smile faded: "How's the situation? Is everything under control?"

Shangguan Wenyin's smile vanished, his brows furrowing into a deep frown: "On the surface, things seem fine, but according to all my information, he still controls a considerable number of people, secretly watching us, ready to retaliate at any moment..."

Lin Chen frowned: "You mean Han..."

"Don't say it!"

Shangguan Wenyin interrupted Lin Chen, his gaze solemn as he reminded him, "You cannot speak."

Lin Chen stared at Shangguan Wenyin in astonishment, his eyes filled with doubt: "Didn't he lose?"

Shangguan Wenyin said with a wry smile, "He lost, but he didn't die. He escaped, and the Seal of the Sea God is still in his hands."

Seeing that Lin Chen still looked confused, Shangguan Wenyin explained, "The true leader of the Sea God Sect is actually the Sea God, but the Sea God has always served as the sect leader as well, so the Sea God is the sect leader and the sect leader is the Sea God."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen understood: "The one who possesses the Seal of the Sea God is the Sea God, and the leader of the Sea God Sect. Senior Fan has now regained the position of leader, but the Seal of the Sea God is still in that person's hands, so that person is still the Sea God... Is that what you mean?"
