The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2945 The military order arrives, and the Haoran Sect sets off!
"I told you long ago that your fighting power is beyond that of ordinary people, brother. See, I was right, wasn't I?"

Upon hearing the results of Lin Chen's competition, Gu Yuexi was overjoyed, wearing a smug expression that said, "I knew this would happen."

Everyone in the room looked at Lin Chen with great joy. Lin Chen's combat power had always far surpassed that of others in the same realm. Now that he had grown to the Great Luo Immortal stage, he had finally unleashed his full potential, reaching such a terrifying level.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you are the best! It's good that you advanced before the war between immortals and demons, otherwise it would have been troublesome if you had actually been on the battlefield."

Nalan Wushuang laughed and said, "Yes, the battlefield is ever-changing and danger is everywhere. Even if you have Senior Zhen by your side, you are still in danger if you are too weak. Now that you are strong, even if the opponent is a peak Great Luo Immortal, he cannot kill you instantly. Your safety has greatly increased."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Nalan's statement.

On the battlefield, if you encounter an opponent of similar strength, you may need to fight back with your skills. However, if you encounter a powerful opponent, a casual strike from them could unleash a devastating wave that you cannot resist.

This is like an ancient battlefield. You are a capable junior officer. If you charge head-on on the battlefield, you might be able to show your skills. However, you are unlucky enough to encounter the enemy's charging general. The enemy not only doesn't look at you, but also thinks you are blocking their way and is very annoying. So they casually stab you.

This strike might be a casual move for a general charging into battle, but for you, it's a fatal blow.

Now that Lin Chen has advanced, he is protected by the Linglong Tower, which allows him to unleash his full combat power. Combined with his own strength, Lin Chen's safety is guaranteed as long as he doesn't encounter a Quasi-Saint.

Shang Wenyan said worriedly, "I'm afraid the days of peaceful cultivation won't last much longer. I went out a few days ago and heard that cracks have appeared in the Immortal-Demon Passage, and a few demons have already rushed through the cracks to investigate the situation..."

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly: "Has the passage been opened?"

Shang Wenyan nodded: "Based on past experience, it takes about a year from the appearance of the crack to the complete opening of the passage. First there are small-scale battles, then large-scale battles, like a meat grinder, with both sides constantly pouring in troops. Finally, the battle continues until the passage closes again, and the war is considered over."

Every defensive battle is a bloodbath, both for the celestial realm and the demon realm. In every war between immortals and demons, both sides suffer heavy losses, but the war does not stop because of the bloodshed and losses; on the contrary, it intensifies.

The battle between the two realms is a fight to the death.

As long as both races exist, this war will likely continue indefinitely!

Lin Chen had read the timeline of the great war between immortals and demons given to him by Mu Tianjun. Although the time interval between the opening of the immortal-demon passage was getting shorter and shorter, the time from opening to closing of the immortal-demon passage remained unchanged.

Three years!

Each war between immortals and demons lasts exactly three years, no more, no less, because defense always has an advantage, and the immortal realm has not been very interested in conquering the demon realm, so they have always adopted a defensive posture.

Holding out for three years will be a victory!
Lin Chen nodded: "Now that the rift has opened, I reckon the order to return to camp will be coming soon."

Gu Yuexi asked with a sharp look in her eyes, "If the war starts, what should we do? Should we act together with the Haoran Sect, or stay in the Linglong Tower and wait for an opportunity to fight?"

Lin Chen had already thought about this matter and answered without hesitation: "I have accepted the appointment from the Palace Master, so I am an officer of the War God Palace and must obey military orders. However, you are not subordinates of the War God Palace. If you join as disciples of the Haoran Sect, you will be greatly restricted under military orders."

"You will live in the Linglong Pagoda. If I need your help, I will summon you. Otherwise, you can focus on your cultivation. In this way, military orders will not concern you, and you are free to come and go as you please."

The group did not object to Lin Chen's arrangement.

They all knew very well that Lin Chen was protecting them. After all, the Linglong Pagoda's defenses were incredibly powerful, and there were also two Quasi-Saints, a Starry Sky Demonic Beast capable of crushing a peak Grand Luo Immortal, and hundreds of Great Demons comparable to Grand Luo Immortals inside. Their contribution was actually quite limited. They simply wanted to fight alongside Lin Chen, to fight side-by-side. They didn't care how much they could contribute or whether they could achieve any merit.

We fight together, face powerful enemies together, and live peacefully together—that would be good.

Nalan Wushuang asked, "You've already decided who will go, haven't you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Aunt Lan, let's forget about Lao Lu. Someone has to stay at home. Let's just have the few of us. You always say that I won't take you with me when I'm in danger. This time, my husband and I will go to war together and fight the enemy together."

Nalan Wushuang chuckled: "Alright, I agree!"

Lan Xinyu frowned and said, "I still wanted to go to the battlefield to see if I could make a contribution. Why did you just abandon me like this?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "When the Haoran Sect sets off, there may only be the old, weak and disabled left in the sect. If something happens, there will be no one to take care of us. With you and Lao Lu staying behind, we will not have any worries. After all, not to mention the sect, there are still many of our family members here."

"If we can achieve military merit on the front lines, Aunt Lan will naturally have a share as well. Aunt Lan, just stay home and wait for our good news."

Lan Xinyu knew that Lin Chen was worried about her. After all, she had only just entered the Great Luo Immortal realm and could not compare with the group of prodigies like Lin Chen. If they really went to the battlefield, she would probably be the most in danger among them.

"Alright, military merits are a minor matter. The happiest thing is that you all come back safe and sound, with no one missing."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Lan Xinyu would insist on going to the battlefield, and he might not be able to take care of her then.

And that was the end of it.

As Lin Chen and the others had expected, a dozen days later, the Haoran Sect received a military order from the War God Temple.

The entire Haoran Sect's thousand-strong force has returned to camp!
The Haoran Sect acted swiftly, having been prepared in advance, and awaited the arrival of military orders. In just half a day, a thousand-strong force from the Haoran Sect boarded three giant ships and headed towards the War God's Mansion.

On the bow of the ship, Lin Chen, Chen Shuihe, and the others watched as the Haoran Sect's mountain peak gradually disappeared into the horizon, each of them with a rather heavy expression.

If a thousand men go to war now, how many will be able to return alive after the battle is over?

Five hundred people?
Or perhaps two hundred people?

Lin Chen glanced at everyone and said calmly, "We will definitely win, and we will definitely return safely!"

Looking into Lin Chen's calm eyes, a surge of heroic spirit welled up within everyone, dispelling the gloom in their hearts.

"We will definitely win!"

"We will definitely come back safely!"
