The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2719 Father-in-law, please do justice for me!

"Snapped!"

The expensive teacup shattered on the ground.

Zhong Minchun's eyes widened, flashing with a fury that seemed to devour the heavens: "Say that again!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Majesty replied that he had heard of the True Man of the Void, but had never heard of or seen any Lord of the Setting Sun."

Zhong Minchun's face turned ashen: "So that means we've been deceived, and that person isn't the Sunset Star Lord at all, nor is he a Quasi-Saint?"

The subordinates dared not utter a sound, standing obediently below, awaiting her orders.

Zhong Minchun paced around twice: "That kid impersonated a Quasi-Saint, but how did he manage to rescue Qi Gongji from the sealing formation without anyone noticing in front of so many Great Luo Immortals?"

Zhong Minchun stopped, frowning as she recalled the scene. Suddenly, her eyebrows shot up: "When that kid appeared, all the Illusion Serpent Sect disciples we captured had their heads bowed, not one of them looking at him. Logically, he was everyone's hope for survival; everyone should have been praying to him..."

Zhong Minchun suddenly looked up: "Is that kid a disciple of the Illusion Serpent Sect?"

Zhong Minchun was stunned by the deduced answer.

He led a large group of peak-level Great Luo Immortals, yet he was scared away by a disciple of the Illusion Serpent Sect?

Zhong Minchun trembled uncontrollably and shouted almost maniacally, "Get that kid's image, go ask him, find out his identity!"

"Yes!"

The subordinates left as ordered, and once again, a series of cracking sounds echoed in the hall.

Zhong Minchun didn't have to wait long; her subordinate returned quickly, his expression complex and his demeanor cautious.

When Zhong Minchun saw his subordinate's expression, his heart skipped a beat.

"You found out? Who is that kid? Is he a disciple of the Illusion Serpent Sect?"

The subordinate lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhong Minchun's face, and answered in a low voice, "He is Lin Chen, a disciple of the Battle Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace."

"boom!"

The ground beneath Zhong Minchun's feet shattered instantly, and countless valuable pieces of furniture around her turned to dust.

Zhong Minchun had considered countless possible outcomes, but she never imagined that the other party would be one of the culprits who killed her son!

Previously, Jin Chengyuan's old servant went to capture Lin Chen, but only caught his clone, which then self-destructed. After the old servant returned, he was punished by the enraged Zhong Minchun, beaten half to death, and thrown into prison. Then she personally led a group of people to take revenge. Because of this mistake, no one recognized Lin Chen on the spot.

Lin Chen killed her son and then, in front of her, impersonated a quasi-saint, scaring her and her entire group away.

This cannot be expressed simply by the word "shame".

If this gets out, she'll become a laughingstock in the entire cultivation world!

She, a Great Luo Immortal and the daughter-in-law of the Quasi-Saint Barbarian King, led a group of peak Great Luo Immortals to avenge her son, only to be frightened away by a few words from the true culprit who killed her son—a mere low-grade Great Luo Supreme Immortal.

The subordinate trembled and dared not utter a single word.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't have wanted to report this news at all, facing the furious Zhong Minchun.

Zhong Minchun's eyes turned red. Several seconds later, she stomped her foot angrily, leaped up, and headed towards the place where the barbarian king lived in seclusion.

"You can run away, but you can't hide! Since he's a member of the Battle Hall of the Myriad Immortals Palace, I'll demand him from the Myriad Immortals Palace!"

Zhong Minchun moved with lightning speed, arriving at the barbarian king's cave in an instant. She then knelt down in front of the cave and cried out, "Father-in-law, please do justice for your daughter-in-law!"

"come in."

The barbarian king's voice rang out, filled with domineering arrogance: "Wipe away your tears! What kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing like this!"

Zhong Minchun quickly wiped away her few tears and hurried into the cave.

The barbarian king was tall and imposing, dressed in a simple black robe without any extra accessories. Yet, the fierce and domineering aura he exuded sent shivers down one's spine, instilling an instinctive urge to kneel and submit.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhong Minchun recounted everything: "Yuan'er was killed while participating in the Bloodbath under a concealed identity. He certainly needs to bear the corresponding responsibility, but the Wanxian Palace has really gone too far. A disciple of the Battle Hall disregarded the Barbarian King Palace and humiliated me in this way. I beg you, Your Excellency, to uphold justice for me!"

The Barbarian King looked somewhat surprised: "That kid who impersonated the Sunset Star Lord, is he the Wanxian Palace disciple who possessed the ability to create clones and indirectly killed Yuan'er?"

"Yes!"

The Barbarian King thought for a moment and said, "Since Yuan'er took the initiative to participate in the bloodbath, he is a member of the Barbarian tribe and no different from others. The battlefield is ever-changing, and one should be responsible for one's own life and death. Although I am heartbroken by his death, I cannot hold others accountable for it."

"You've already caused trouble for the Illusion Serpent Sect. Since they've escaped this calamity and were forced to abandon their sect by you, let's drop this matter and not pursue it any further. As for this kid, I'll go ask the Myriad Immortals Hall to see what's going on..."
