The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3004 The Sea God is Actually a Woman
Jumping in line?

Lin Chen was speechless for a moment, and could only nod silently.

If Kong Wenlong hadn't made reservations in advance, would he have cut in line today in order to get Chu Jiaxue and the others into his group?

Lin Chen didn't hesitate at all; he'd do anything, from cutting in line to snatching people away!

No means necessary!

But if it weren't for Chu Jiaxue and the others, and it was just a normal selection of replacements, would Lin Chen have tried to snatch people away?
Maybe not!

Lin Chen is a kind-hearted person, but he's not overly compassionate. To him, apart from his family and friends, all other reserve personnel are the same.

Lin Chen was willing to risk his life for Chu Jiaxue and others, and he would do his best for Chen Shuihe, Chi Ya and other people with whom he had a good relationship. Apart from that, Lin Chen could only say that he would do his best for the other three teams.

Because the people had been decided in advance, and Kong Wenlong came in person, there were no major issues. The people from the four sects and Ice Snow Fortress were gathered together.

Lin Chen glanced at everyone and, without any formalities, said frankly, "Many of those gathered here are my relatives and friends, so I won't stand on ceremony and will just explain the situation to everyone."

"The First Legion is the strongest legion in the War God's Mansion. We always fight in the most dangerous places against the strongest enemies, so our casualties are usually not low. Next, we may be involved in an extremely brutal battle with very high casualties. It is even possible that we will be completely wiped out."

"Those who are not afraid of death, who want to seek wealth and fortune in danger, and who are willing to risk their lives can join my third team. There are a total of 500 spots. Those who want to develop steadily and do not want to take risks can choose to stay. You may be picked up by other teams, or you may be added to the newly formed reserve legion. As for where you will go to the battlefield and what enemies you will encounter, that is not something that a squad leader like me can know."

"In short, joining us offers a great chance to make a contribution, but it's also extremely dangerous. If you want to join, you're welcome; if you don't want to, I won't force you."

"I'll give you ten minutes to discuss and make your own choice."

"Just a reminder, there are no sects or cults here. Everyone who joins the army has only one identity: soldier. Your life is your own, and you are in charge of your own destiny."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, the leaders of the major forces all gathered around.

The monk Kurong raised one palm and softly chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Young friend Lin, could you tell us about the current situation on the battlefield?"

Lin Chen didn't mince words and simply replied, "The Immortal-Demon Passage will not be closed again. The Demon Clan's offensive will not stop. Defense will not bring victory. So we should be preparing to counterattack the Demon Realm. The upcoming battle will escalate. Everyone will be a soldier, and no one can escape. Our First Legion should be the vanguard, which is why I said it will be very dangerous."

Everyone immediately understood. Monk Kurong said without hesitation, "Young friend, you are so young and yet you are not afraid. If we old folks are afraid, wouldn't we be a laughing stock? Besides, if the Immortal Realm falls, none of us will have a good ending. Since we are already here, we should do our part."

The Taoist leader was Master Tianguang, whom Lin Chen had met before. In the battle between the three religions and the Sea God Sect, the Taoists were represented by Master Tianguang. He was one of the Taoists' most trusted old men, and belonged to the top tier of the peak Great Luo Immortal level.

Master Tianguang smiled and said, "Our Taoism also wants to do its part."

Fu Yunzi remained silent. He was Lin Chen's master. Did he need to take sides at this point?

As for being afraid of death?

If the apprentice isn't afraid, why would the master be?

Shangguan Wenyin declared without hesitation: "We will stand with Brother Lin through thick and thin."

Qiu Wushuang blinked: "I feel safest with you." Qiu Wushuang knew that her senior sister Zhen Liuxue had recovered and was now a true quasi-saint. Although she hadn't seen Zhen Liuxue, she was certain that Zhen Liuxue was by Lin Chen's side.

In that case, wouldn't following Lin Chen be the safest option?

Lin Chen nodded and smiled, “I understand everyone’s feelings, but I suggest that those with lower strength should stay as much as possible. Although the reserve force will also form new legions, I think that as long as those of us in front do not collapse or perish, even if they go to the battlefield, they will not encounter enemies as powerful as our opponents.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Lin Chen's statement.

Several factions checked the number of people and then drew a line: all those below the Heavenly Immortal level could stay, and those above the Heavenly Immortal level who were unwilling to risk their lives could also stay. After this process of selection, the five hundred slots were finally decided.

Shu Zifeng stood quietly to the side, not saying a word, her eyes fixed on Lin Chen.

Master is so handsome!

Looking at the final statistics, Lin Chen was quite pleased. These five hundred people could be considered the elites of the four sects and the five major forces of Ice and Snow Fortress. They were all experts through and through. Their addition made the overall strength of the three teams expand again.

Figures like Daoist Tianguang and Fuyunzi are among the top in the peak Great Luo Immortal level. Monk Kurong is even more ferocious; if he were to go mad and become a demon, his strength would rival that of a Quasi-Saint!

The three teams now have a total of 1,500 members, and the overall proportion of Great Luo Immortals has increased significantly again. Considering the hidden strength in the Linglong Pagoda, it's incredibly frightening.

Two Quasi-Saints, Chu Jiaxue (half-step Quasi-Saint), Monk Kurong, and the Starry Sky Beast Tia, along with a large group of peak Grand Luo Immortals like Fuyunzi and Daoist Tianguang, hundreds of Great Demons, nearly a hundred Grand Luo Immortals, at least three hundred Grand Luo Supreme Immortals and Grand Luo Profound Immortals, and the rest were basically all Celestial Immortals.

This display of strength is enough to give anyone a huge shock!

Lin Chen was quite excited. He hadn't thought too much about how to earn military merits. He just thought that with such strong strength, it would be easier to survive on the battlefield.

Lin Chen led five hundred men back to the camp. At this point, Chu Jiaxue finally concealed the water on her body and revealed her true colors.

Apart from a few high-ranking members of the Longshan Sect who knew the truth and were not surprised, everyone else was greatly astonished.

The sea goddess is actually a woman?

Still so young?
Not to mention the people of the three religions, even the members of the Sea God Sect were shocked when they saw this scene.

They had never known that the Sea Goddess was a young woman. If it weren't for the Sea Goddess Seal in Chu Jiaxue's hand being genuine, and Shangguan Wenyin's calm demeanor, they would probably have suspected that the Sea Goddess had been replaced.

Chu Jiaxue did not reveal her identity to Lin Chen, as she did not want to cause him any trouble.

She only wanted to fight alongside Lin Chen, and it would be even better if she could protect him with her own abilities.

She rushed over as fast as she could, wasn't that what she wanted to do?

From the moment they met, Lin Chen had always been protecting and helping her. Now, she was finally able to help Lin Chen on her own.

This is something she's always wanted to do, and now her dream has finally come true!
