The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2817 The Last Thought
The Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp was placed on the table in front of Lin Chen, with no restrictions around it. If Duan Tian Dao Ren wanted to run away, he could control it to run away at any time.

Even if it's just a remnant of his primordial spirit, Lin Chen's strength certainly wouldn't be able to stop him.

Lin Chen waited for a long time, but the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp remained standing there quietly, without making a sound.

Are you waiting for me to run away on my own?

The Daoist of Broken Heaven sighed, as if mocking himself, and said, "If I still had the ability to control the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp, do you think I would have stayed in that place for thousands of years?"

Lin Chen thought about it and realized it made sense. If he really had that ability, he would have run away long ago. Why would he hide on that shelf in such a mysterious way, afraid of being discovered by the Thief Saint and taking the initiative to ask him for help?
"Since that's the case, you should trust me even more. Tell me what happened and see if I can help."

The Daoist Duan Tian seemed to have made up his mind as well, and said in a deep voice, "I want to find my daughter."

Lin Chen frowned: "Senior, please explain in detail."

The Heavenly Daoist sighed: "Back then, I lost a fight because of a grudge. The other party wanted to kill me. I fled for many years and finally escaped their pursuit in the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. I exhausted my efforts to build the Turbulent Land and hid there."

"I thought I was safe, but I underestimated my opponent. Their supernatural powers were like a bone-corroding poison. Not only could I not get rid of them, but they also made my injuries worse. Like flowers and plants that have been sprayed with pesticides, they gradually wither away day by day. That is why my body is still there, but it is useless."

"With no other choice, I had to abandon my body and hide in the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp, relying on the power of the innate spiritual treasure to protect my primordial spirit. Even so, my primordial spirit is gradually being eroded. Now, I am deeply connected with the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp. Once I leave, the erosion will accelerate. This is why I dare not leave the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp."

“My enemy is ruthless. Now that he has turned against me, he will definitely try to eliminate my daughter completely. So I guess my daughter may be dead, but I still hold on to a one in ten thousand hope that she is still alive.”

"I, Duan Tian Dao Ren, am a loner and do things my own way. It is normal for me to suffer this calamity today. After all, cultivators believe in the principle of the victor taking all. However, I am very resentful that my daughter has been implicated because of me."

"I hope you will seek the truth of the past. If she is dead, all is well. If she is still alive and safe, I hope to see her. If she is in danger, I hope to find a way to save her. This is my last wish."

"Because my opponent is a Quasi-Saint, I was worried you'd be afraid and wouldn't dare accept it, so I haven't dared to tell you directly. But I assure you, I don't want you to avenge me, because I know that's not something you can do. Besides, the battle back then was purely a personal grudge between him and me. I just lost. Although I was unwilling, I was simply outmatched, so there's nothing to say." Quasi-Saint?

This matter is indeed not simple!

Lin Chen had guessed before that this matter was related to his fall. Although it was about finding his daughter, in the final analysis, wasn't it still because of that Quasi-Saint?
If his daughter really died, that would be better; we know we can't afford to mess with her, so we'll just stay away. But what if his daughter didn't die?

According to Duan Tian Dao Ren, this adversary is ruthless and eliminating all enemies is his normal practice. If he is not dead, he has either fled to some unknown immortal realm and cannot be found at all, which is the best outcome. The worst, and most likely, outcome is that the other party has captured his daughter and used her as a bargaining chip. Once Duan Tian Dao Ren returns, he will inevitably come looking for him.

If you go to find them yourself, wouldn't you be falling into their trap?

To confront a quasi-saint head-on is practically suicide, isn't it?

Lin Chen asked, "Who is that quasi-saint?"

"Duan Tianchou, the Thousand Demon Lord".

The Daoist Duan Tian replied, "The reason he is nicknamed Thousand Demons is because he is most skilled at controlling powerful demonic beasts. He has many powerful demonic beasts under his command. Some people once called him the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, but he said that he did not have ten thousand demons because he did not have that ability. However, he did have a thousand demons, so he became known as the Demon Lord of Thousand Demons."

"Duan Tianchou possesses a unique secret technique that allows him to control demonic beasts. Moreover, he can nurture demonic beasts, making them stronger and stronger. He doesn't trust people. It is often said that the human heart is the most unpredictable and hardest to guard against. Although demonic beasts are also cunning, they are much simpler than the human heart and are more trustworthy."

"Lin Chen, as long as you help me confirm whether my daughter is alive or dead, and if she is, find a way to save her, I will see her one last time. That will fulfill my last wish. Once it is fulfilled, I will give you the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp in its entirety, as well as all my savings..."
