The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3315: Battle for Quota
"The Starry Sky Beast race knows about the existence of the Abyss Demons, and even knows a lot of information about them?"

In the hall, the Immortal Emperor sat in the highest position, his eyes fixed on Lin Chen, his gaze slightly subtle.

He didn't know Lin Chen before, but Lin Chen's brilliance in the previous incident was so dazzling that even a saint couldn't hide it, which made him notice Lin Chen and pay some attention to him.

Not everyone can make a saint suffer a defeat and still live well. Perhaps Lin Chen is the only one who can do that.

When Mu Tianjun suggested he withdraw all troops, he casually asked about Lin Chen, who was preparing to go into seclusion to comprehend and break through to a higher realm. Now that they met again, not too long had passed, and Lin Chen had actually broken through successfully.

A quasi-saint over a hundred years old, hey!

Even though the Immortal Emperor is now a saint, the supreme ruler of the Immortal Realm, he couldn't help but subconsciously recall his own growth process and compare himself to Lin Chen. Then, he felt a rather subtle feeling in his heart.

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, but he only vaguely heard the clan chief mention it, and he himself does not know the details. So I think it is necessary to send someone to the ancestral land of the Starry Sky Beasts to consult with the clan chief of the Starry Sky Beasts and find out the details of the Abyss Demon Clan."

The Immortal Emperor nodded calmly, acknowledging Lin Chen's statement: "This matter is of great importance and we should indeed make the trip. If we gain anything, it may be of great help to us. In the end, we know too little about the Abyss Demons. We have been fighting for so long, but we only know some superficial things. Where do the Abyss Demons come from? What kind of existence is the Lord of the Abyss? Do they have any weaknesses? Or do we have any special methods to deal with them? We know nothing about any of these."

“Since you have a past with the Star Demon Clan and you possess the supernatural ability to leap through the stars, you are naturally the most suitable candidate. However, going alone would not show how much importance we attach to this matter. I will arrange for another person to accompany you, so that you can have someone to look after you if anything happens.”

Lin Chen made no mention of what Chi Zai had said—that if someone else went, they might not get anything—and cupped his hands, saying, "I will obey the Emperor's command!"

Lin Chen told Mu Tianjun everything about Chi Zai. If anyone wanted to bring it up, he would let Mu Tianjun do it. He didn't want to invite trouble himself, lest he give people the impression that "everyone else can't do it, but you can."

Mu Tianjun glanced at Lin Chen, hesitated for a moment, and when he realized that Lin Chen hadn't mentioned the Crimson Calamity at all, he couldn't help but curse him inwardly as a little sly.

This kid told me everything before, but now he's acting like he'll do whatever you say in front of the Immortal Emperor. Isn't that just passing the buck?

The Immortal Emperor is the ruler of the Immortal Realm and the superior of everyone. Whatever he orders, we do. Even if something goes wrong, it's not our fault. But if we argue with our superior and say that only we can do it and that others can't, what will our superior think?
Even if you succeed in this end, your boss will definitely not have a good impression of you, let alone if you fail.

If you fail, you'll probably have to pay the price.

Lin Chen brought this up for the sake of the Immortal Realm, but he didn't want it to cause him any trouble.

If he were to handle the matter privately, he would certainly be acting with the public good, but if he did not handle it well, he would surely incur the displeasure of the Immortal Emperor. Now that Lin Chen has reported the matter, the Immortal Emperor can send whoever he wants, ensuring that he takes full responsibility and avoids any blame.

Now that the Immortal Emperor has decided to go himself, if he wants to find someone to accompany him, then the two of them can go together, and they can discuss the specifics of the journey later.

Lin Chen still had some worries. He was concerned that if the Immortal Emperor asked a sage to accompany him on his journey, then he and the sage would be alone in the depths of the universe. What if the sage took a fancy to the Star Chart Spirit?

Mu Tianjun reported, "Your Majesty, Chi Zai once said that the ancestral land of the Starry Sky Beast Clan is an absolute secret and it is impossible for outsiders to enter. Lin Chen helped the child of the first warrior of the Starry Sky Beast Clan, so he may gain something from this opportunity. However, if others come along, the Starry Sky Beast Clan may not see him and he will return empty-handed."

The Immortal Emperor frowned. He naturally wanted to know the details of the Abyss Demon Clan, but he hoped that this firsthand information would come from someone he trusted, rather than from Lin Chen.

Although Lin Chen is also human and a member of the Immortal Realm, he has no reason to hide information about the Abyss Demons. But who knows what kind of information he might obtain? What if there is some extremely crucial and hidden information among these pieces of information?

The Lord of the Abyss is so powerful, what kind of being is he, where did he come from, and how did he cultivate?
The Immortal Emperor even wanted to go there himself, but he knew very well that others would not agree.

He thinks this way, and so do others!

The only solution is for everyone to stay home and send subordinates instead.

The Immortal Emperor pondered for a few seconds: "Although Lin Chen is very strong now, he is still just one person. If he encounters any trouble, he will not have anyone to help him. Here's what I'll do: I have three disciples. Choose one of them to accompany Lin Chen on this journey. I will also instruct them to prioritize Lin Chen and make completing the mission their top priority."

The Celestial Emperor is the ruler of the Celestial Realm. If he has said so, who can say anything?

Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the saints didn't go together.

Although the three immortal lords are powerful, I shouldn't be afraid of them now. Even if there are any problems, I should be able to handle them.

Lin Chen didn't think he was being petty or suspicious. After all, one can't be too careful. If he had acted recklessly, he would have died countless times along the way.

Mu Tianjun turned to Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, what do you think?"

Lin Chen answered crisply, "I think it's fine, but I wonder which immortal lord will accompany me on this journey?"

"wait a minutes."

The Immortal Emperor transmitted his voice to the three Immortal Lords, and soon, the three Immortal Lords, Seven Colors, Azure Phoenix, and Burning Sea, appeared in the hall.

"That's how it is. Who among you is willing to go through this with Lin Chen?"

The three immortal lords all turned their gazes to Lin Chen's face, their expressions filled with undisguised amazement.

He broke through to a higher realm in such a short time?
Lin Chen is amazing!

Seven-Colored Immortal Lord spoke first: "Lin Chen saved my life before, so why don't I go with him this time? I believe we can cooperate very well on the way."

Not to be outdone, Immortal Lord Qingluan smiled and said, "Senior Brother, you were injured in the accident before, and your injuries haven't healed yet. It would be best for you to rest and recover. I'll go this time."

After a pause, Immortal Lord Qingluan added his reasoning: "The Starry Sky Demon Clan belongs to the demon beasts, and I am also a demon cultivator. We are of the same kind, and naturally, we are much closer. It is naturally most suitable for me to go on this mission..."
