The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2716 Even Lin Chen himself was stunned!
"Senior, are you really going to get involved in this matter?"

Qi Gongji disappeared without a trace, which infuriated Zhong Dechun, but he was at a loss for what to do.

Everyone's disappeared, what can we do?

What's the use of killing everyone else if Qi Gongji is alive? It will only invite Qi Gongji's crazy revenge. With his strength, how many people can stop him in a one-on-one assassination?
His very existence is a huge problem!

Zhong Dechun came prepared and would certainly not let Qi Gongji escape, but now the plan has completely failed.

Lin Chen naturally saw the disciples of the Illusion Serpent Sect lower their heads deeply. He even saw some of them trembling slightly, which was clearly not out of fear, but rather because they were laughing so hard they were shaking.

You guys are really thick-skinned to still be laughing at a time like this!

My identity has been exposed, and you're all in big trouble!
Lin Chen mentally scoffed, but outwardly remained nonchalant: "Haven't I already intervened? Do I need to consider your feelings when I want to do what I want?"

Zhong Dechun was initially very suspicious, but Qi Gongji's sudden and silent disappearance in front of everyone made her even more hesitant to act rashly.

"This junior wouldn't dare, but we've already made our move today, thus incurring his deep hatred. Now that you've helped them, he'll surely take his revenge on us in the future..."

Lin Chen interrupted Zhong Dechun: "I have some connection with the Barbarian King. I stopped you, so naturally I won't let him take revenge on you. After all, it hasn't come to the point of being irreconcilable yet. I saved his life, so naturally he has to listen to me."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhong Dechun breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands, saying, "Since you insist, senior, I will naturally comply. However, now that you have come to the Southern Wilderness, would you be willing to return with me? I think my father-in-law would be very happy to see you."

"happy?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Are you sure he'll be happy? I think he probably doesn't want to see me again, after all, haha..."

Lin Chen didn't finish speaking, but Zhong Dechun and the others had already completely filled in the blanks in their minds.

The barbarian king lost, lost face, and had no face to see the Sunset Star Lord again!
Before Zhong Dechun could say anything more, Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "You all go ahead. I have some things to take care of. If I have enough time after I finish, I will go and see him."

Zhong Dechun nodded helplessly: "Yes, senior, then we'll take our leave."

Zhong Dechun waved his hand, and led a group of peak Grand Luo Immortals, leaving behind the captured Illusion Serpent Sect disciples, and strode away.

Lin Chen stared blankly as he watched Zhong Dechun and the others disappear into the horizon.

Yes, even Lin Chen himself was stunned.

They actually left!

They actually fell for their own trick!
Unbelievable! My clone's strength is only at the level of a Great Luo Immortal. If they had just scanned me back and forth with their divine sense a few times like this, my true strength would have been exposed. But they didn't do that at all!

Was it because he appeared with the demeanor of a quasi-saint that he frightened them?
This is too exaggerated!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Of course, the most ingenious part is the way Lin Chen's real body cooperates when Lin Chen's clone attracts everyone's attention.

Those besieging Qi Gongji were afraid of his dying counterattack, so they kept a great distance away. In addition, the ground was covered with dust and smoke, so they could only lock onto him with their spiritual senses. None of them expected that someone would quietly approach Qi Gongji from underground.

Lin Chen sent a telepathic message to Qi Gongji, instructing him to generate some spiritual energy fluctuations. Qi Gongji cooperated, displaying a final, unwilling struggle despite his impending death.

The powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy concealed Lin Chen's approach from underground. Lin Chen quietly slipped out, summoned the Exquisite Pagoda, and silently absorbed Qi Gongji into the Exquisite Pagoda.

At the same time, Lin Chen instantly vanished into the earth and remained motionless.

Because he had long ago imbued himself with the power of life and death, when he remained still in the earth, he was nothing more than a lifeless stone.

This resulted in Qi Gongji disappearing without a trace, which, combined with the clone's words, gave Zhong Dechun a huge shock. After all, to be able to do such a thing through a sealed formation meant that the other party's methods were extraordinary, and there was no doubt about it.

Furthermore, since Qi Gongji had already escaped, it was no longer important whether or not the others were killed, so she simply chose to retreat.

At this moment, all the elders and disciples of the Illusion Serpent Sect who had been keeping their heads down dared to raise their heads and look at Lin Chen with admiration.

As expected of a disciple of the Battle Hall of the Myriad Immortals Palace!

That was quite a show!
We never imagined that our lives would be saved because of him!

Lin Chen spoke up before anyone else could, saying, "No need for thanks. I was just passing by, couldn't stand by and do something, so I just stepped in."

Lin Chen's words startled everyone.

He was still acting, which suggests that although Zhong Dechun and others may have retreated, they may still be monitoring the area!

Everyone came to their senses and dared not utter a word, quickly bowing respectfully: "Thank you for saving our lives, senior!"

Lin Chen waved his hand: "Your sect leader is too badly injured, I'll take him with me first. You'd better take care of yourselves..."
