The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2707 Who is responsible for the unlucky guy's death?
Kong Ling's expression was slightly strange.

Lin Chen's eyes widened as he looked at him: "Could it be that he died in the Bloodbath Scheme?"

"Yes."

Kong Ling smiled bitterly: "He participated in hiding his identity. Logically speaking, he was very strong and had a powerful magic weapon to protect him. Even if he couldn't win, he could still run away. At most, he would just abandon the sign and would definitely not be in any danger. However, in the decisive battle just now, he was killed in a muddled way."

"He has an old servant at the Great Luo Immortal level by his side who usually protects him closely. This time, he concealed his information and joined a sect's team, participating in this bloody battle as a kind of training."

"Given his status, even if he encountered a powerful enemy he couldn't defeat, and his magic weapon couldn't withstand the attack, as long as he revealed his identity, who would dare to kill him? After all, he was the grandson of the Barbarian King. Who knew he would die so suddenly and in such a muddle?"

"I heard that this sudden end was due to the fact that the situation was already settled and the barbarians would suffer heavy casualties if the fighting continued, and also because the old servant found the barbarian leader and revealed his identity. They immediately surrendered and forcibly ended the bloodbath, but it was too late."

"Once your dozen or so explosive magical artifacts detonated, many barbarians were trapped in an illusion. The barbarian king's grandson was probably one of them. Being in an illusion, one cannot perceive the outside world, is unaware of the danger approaching, and is therefore unable to defend oneself."

"He was originally very strong, so he was in the front line of the barbarian army, and he was also the one who directly faced the strongest first team of demons in a head-on attack. He was probably in an illusion and didn't even have time to react before he was killed, his body and soul completely destroyed..."

Lin Chen was completely bewildered after hearing this: "So, this barbaric grandson, the most powerful third-generation cultivator in the Southern Wilderness, participated in this competition by hiding his identity, originally intending to gain some experience, but unexpectedly he was wiped out?"

"Yes."

Kong Ling said with a bitter face, "Yes, that's right. It's all in an uproar outside. The barbarians are demanding an explanation from the demon race, but the demon race says it's a fair fight. No matter who he is, if he participated in the bloodbath, he has to bear the consequences. They're arguing about it right now."

Lin Chen thought about it carefully and immediately felt something was wrong: "If the other side demands an explanation from the barbarians, won't the blame ultimately fall on the Illusion Serpent Sect, or even on me?"

If we are to investigate the death of the barbarian king's grandson, the person who killed him is certainly the direct murderer, but who really caused his death?

It was a magical artifact created by Lü Wenjing that could generate an illusionary realm. It was his clone that broke through the barbarian camp and detonated more than ten magical artifacts on its own ears!

Kong Ling had obviously thought of this as well, and said softly, "That's what I was thinking, which is why I rushed to tell you. Why don't you guys run away first? This is actually an innocent disaster for everyone. You were originally here to help me, so there's no need for you to stay and take the risk..."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen swiftly summoned the Exquisite Pagoda, taking Shang Wenyan inside. Then, a clone emerged and smiled at Kong Ling, saying, "Leave a clone to check the situation." Kong Ling couldn't help but laugh, "This trick of yours is really convenient for saving your life."

Lin Chen stared at Kong Ling and said, "They all know we're your friends. Won't you get implicated?"

Kong Ling laughed and said, "Unless they are prepared to destroy the entire Illusion Serpent Sect, they still have the sect leader to protect them. You are outsiders, and you are wearing the skin of the Myriad Immortals Palace. They might really want to hand you over. After all, they think that with the identity of the Myriad Immortals Palace, they can let you clash with the Barbarian King without hurting themselves. But if they hand over the disciples, they will lose all their dignity. That is impossible."

Lin Chen nodded: "In that case, I'll leave first. My clone will handle the rest."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he stopped wasting words and directly burrowed underground, instantly disappearing from the spot.

Kong Ling's eyes flashed with admiration. This method might not improve combat power much, but it was extremely useful for escaping.

No wonder Lin Chen has always managed to escape danger despite encountering so many perils along the way; it's inseparable from his amazing survival skills.

Lin Chen, in his clone form, laughed and said, "Alright, I'll wait here. I also want to see how your sect leader will handle all this. Speaking of which, he already knows I can create clones..."

Lin Chen had already left, and Kong Ling relaxed, jokingly saying in a light tone, "Perhaps that's why he'll go with the flow!"

As the two were talking, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

The two looked towards the doorway, only to see Lü Wenjing step in with a solemn expression.

Kong Ling asked proactively, "Senior Brother Lü, how is it outside now?"

A mocking look flashed in Lü Wenjing's cold eyes: "They're scared. Although they're still arguing their case, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long."

Kong Ling pressed further, "Does this mean you're planning to hand over some people to be held responsible for his death?"

Lu Wenjing nodded, turned to look at Lin Chen, examined him carefully for a few moments, and the coldness on his face softened a bit: "Your strength has decreased quite a bit, are you an avatar?"
