The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2977 Ambush! Can you kill them?
"Daocang!"

With a desperate shout, Zhou Tianlin rushed forward and caught Zhou Daocang, who was collapsing to the ground.

Zhou Daocang's head slumped down, his eyes devoid of light, filled with despair and resentment as he stared at Zhou Tianlin, as if asking him why he hadn't saved him.

Zhou Daoyuan appeared outside the hall, and upon seeing this scene, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

He never expected Lin Chen to be so violent, daring to kill someone outright!
Who is this woman? She's incredibly powerful!
Even though Zhou Tianlin only barely made it into the Upper Grade Great Luo Immortal realm, and his strength was only considered low among Upper Grade Great Luo Immortals, he was still an Upper Grade Great Luo Immortal no matter what!
That woman easily bypassed Zhou Tianlin and easily killed Zhou Daocang!
Zhou Daocang himself was a Great Luo Immortal, but in front of this woman, he was completely powerless to fight back.

Zhou Daoyuan gritted his teeth and turned to look at Lin Chen: "Fellow Daoist Lin, aren't you showing a lot of disrespect to the Zhou family by openly killing someone like this?"

Lin Chen calmly said, "A person is respected because he has something special. The Zhou family patriarch shed blood and risked his life on the battlefield to bring glory to the Zhou family. I respect that glory, but if that glory has been corrupted, then I will naturally no longer respect it."

"Since I no longer respect him, does it still matter whether I take him seriously or not?"

Zhou Daoyuan was speechless for a moment, after all, this matter was ultimately Zhou Daocang's fault.

If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed yourself!
Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting to Zhou Daoyuan: "Before coming here, I inquired about the Zhou family. Everyone praises the eldest young master's character. I apologize for offending you today. If there is a chance, I will invite the eldest young master for a drink to make amends!"

Zhou Daoyuan was somewhat at a loss; such a thing had never happened before.

Lin Chen was indeed in the right, but he openly killed someone in the Zhou family, and it was a disciple surnamed Zhou who was killed. If I just let him walk out like that, then many people will probably criticize me afterwards.

But the person is dead, and the grudges are settled. Shouldn't we stop while we're ahead?

Do we have to make a big fuss, bring it up to the temple master, and get slapped twice and beaten up before we'll be satisfied?
Just as Zhou Daoyuan was struggling with his inner conflict, Zhou Tianlin had already put down the person in his arms, stood up with bloodshot eyes, and stared at Lin Chen with hatred: "You killed someone and you still want to leave!"

Lin Chen stared at Zhou Tianlin and said calmly, "I'm a fair person who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Zhou Daocang harmed me, so I killed him, and that settles the matter. But if you want to avenge your son and attack me, that's a different story..."

"Take action?"

Zhou Tianlin roared, "I'm going to take your life today... Where are the Zhou family's honored guests? Come out now!"

Zhou Tianlin's voice resounded throughout the entire Zhou family mansion. Five figures flew out from behind, hovering in mid-air and instantly surrounding everyone. Zhou Tianlin pointed at Lin Chen: "This man came to my Zhou family, killed my son, and treats my Zhou family as nothing. All of you retainers, kill him!"

Lin Chen smiled coldly, and with a flick of his right hand, the Demon-Summoning Banner appeared in his hand.

Just as the five powerful figures in the air were about to make their move, Zhou Daoyuan shouted, "Stop!"

The five elders paused their attack and looked at Zhou Tianlin.

Zhou Tianlin roared, "My son is dead, can't you see that? What use are you to the Zhou family? Make your move and kill him!"

Zhou Daoyuan immediately shouted, "Stop! The patriarch has ordered that whenever I am stationed at the War God's Mansion, I am in charge of everything here... No fighting is allowed!"

Zhou Tianlin turned and glared at Zhou Daoyuan: "Daoyuan! You watched your seventh brother being killed and did nothing? When has our Zhou family ever been so weak that we let others come and bully us without daring to fight back?"

Zhou Daoyuan took a deep breath, stared at Zhou Tianlin, and said in a deep voice, "Seventeenth Uncle, Dao Cang harmed people first in this matter. Fellow Daoist Lin is in the right to take action. If you take action now, it will inevitably trigger a great battle. Everything here will be destroyed and countless people will die. When the Palace Master holds us accountable, who will take responsibility?"

After a pause, Zhou Daoyuan asked again, "The five elders are powerful, but do you think they can kill Lin Chen? If they do, wouldn't it be like old grudges being settled only to be followed by new ones? If you, Uncle Seventeen, were to be killed now, wouldn't your death be in vain?"

Zhou Tianlin's gaze fell on the demon-summoning banner in Lin Chen's hand, and then he looked at Zhen Liuxue beside him, who looked relaxed and even had a slightly amused expression. His angry mind suddenly cleared up.

Yes, even if all five elders attacked together, could they kill him?
Lin Chen's demon-summoning banner contains fifty great demons comparable to the Great Luo Immortals. If he releases them all, an area of ​​unknown size will likely be destroyed. In the end, who will be held responsible?
Is the Palace Master helping Lin Chen, this favored meritorious official, or helping himself?
Seeing that Zhou Tianlin had calmed down, Zhou Daoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

If a fight really breaks out, then things will get really serious.

At that time, let alone myself, even if the head of the Zhou family came, he would be terrified. It was hard to guarantee that the Zhou family patriarch would have to personally handle the matter in the end.

How to deal with it?

Should we just swallow our pride and beg for mercy?
Even if Lin Chen killed someone, he was in the right.

The matter has blown up and become public, so everyone knows about it. Do we still need to say what the outcome will be?
