The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3441 We all underestimated you

After dealing with Huo Ling Shuang, Lin Chen finally awakened the Burning Sea Immortal Lord, who had been unconscious and had his five senses sealed.

As soon as the Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea opened his eyes, he saw Lin Chen.

At this point, Lin Chen no longer concealed his appearance. After all, he had obtained the Void Pearl and rescued Gu Yue. Since Immortal Lord Ranhai had no more bargaining chips, he naturally no longer needed to hide his true face.

Immortal Lord Ranhai's eyes widened suddenly.

He never expected that the man hiding his identity was actually Lin Chen!
"Lin Chen, it's you!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Immortal Lord, it's been a long time!"

Immortal Lord Ranhai frowned and asked, "Those people who made the move outside seem to be trial participants from the Celestial Clan. What does that have to do with you?"

Lin Chen replied, "They have been subdued by me and are now my subordinates."

The Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea looked at Huo Ling Shuang, who was hovering beside Lin Chen: "You ambushed me for the Great Dao Spirit that I obtained, didn't you?"

Lin Chen nodded: "That's one reason."

Burning Sea Immortal Lord frowned. Apart from the spirit of the Great Dao, what other reason could Lin Chen have for attacking him?

He and Lin Chen were indeed competitors for the Great Dao Spirit, but there was no enmity between them.

"What are the other reasons?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "We are currently inside a tower called the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Tower."

The Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth!
Immortal Lord Ranhai's eyes suddenly widened, and his face showed an expression of utter shock. Countless thoughts flooded into his mind in an instant, and his previously confused mind suddenly became clear.

He got it!

No wonder Sun Yixiao attacked the Void Pearl as soon as it appeared. While the other party's purpose in dealing with him was to seize the Spirit of the Great Dao, the more important reason was to seize the Void Pearl!
They want to rescue Gu Yue!
How did Lin Chen and the others know that Gu Yue was inside their Void Pearl?
Only the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord knew about this, after all, he had schemed against the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord back then. The Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord later realized that Gu Yue had been taken away by him, and that he had imprisoned people in the Void Pearl.

No wonder they had to hide their faces; they were afraid that if they guessed the truth, they would use Gu Yue's life as leverage to negotiate with them!
Since Huo Ling Shuang, who was imprisoned in the jail, has been rescued, Gu Yue, who was imprisoned at the end of the third floor, must have been rescued as well.

They had no more bargaining chips left, so they stopped hiding their identities and faced him with their true colors.

Burning Sea Immortal Lord's heart skipped a beat. Since the other party hadn't hidden their identity, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get out.

"The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda is in your hands?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Burning Sea Immortal Lord smiled bitterly: "So, you're saying that Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord was also harmed by you?"

Lin Chen nodded again: "During the journey through the Star Sea, Immortal Lord Qingluan tried to do something underhanded to control me, but what he didn't know was that I wasn't controlled..."

Immortal Lord Ranhai stared in disbelief, then sighed helplessly after a long while: "We all underestimated you. Now it seems that our eldest brother is the luckiest. Of the three of us, two of us fell into your hands, but you saved his life and are now your friend..."

"Is Qingluan dead?" Lin Chen replied, "He is not dead, he is just imprisoned in this world."

Burning Sea Immortal looked at the Enchantress Lord beside Lin Chen: "How did you get involved with the Enchantress Lord? Are you doing her bidding?"

Lin Chen replied, "She once disguised herself and went to the Crimson Immortal Realm to attack me, but fortunately, I not only have many methods rewarded by the saints, but I also have a kryptonite. With the help of this kryptonite, I defeated her and controlled her. Now she acts on my orders."

The Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea had a blank expression and looked completely dazed.

Lin Chen actually defeated the Demon Lord?
Did Lin Chen subdue the Demon Lord?
It sounds like a myth, but it's actually true!

"No wonder Qingluan suddenly disappeared back then. The Enchantress Lord transformed into Mu Tianjun, lured Qingluan away from the camp, and then suddenly attacked. With her strength, Qingluan naturally had no chance to resist. No wonder he disappeared without a trace without even sending out a distress signal. Even when Master intervened, no clues were found..."

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I had previously inquired about two Quasi-Saints who exposed their identities by attacking Gu Yue, and then I found the Azure Phoenix Token and traced it to the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord. Unfortunately, he was not the real mastermind behind that incident, but fortunately he had attacked me before, so I felt justified in arresting him."

Having figured everything out, the Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea was filled with despair.

With the Enchantress Lord present, he had absolutely no chance. Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda had already suppressed him. With his own strength, it was impossible for him to break out.

If it weren't for the Enchantress Lord and the sealing of his power, it might still be possible. After all, he still possessed powerful techniques given to him by his master, but now they have all benefited Lin Chen.

"Am I going to die?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Your fate is up to Senior Gu to decide. As far as I'm concerned, I don't actually have any hatred towards you."

Immortal Lord Ranhai nodded, agreeing with Lin Chen's statement. After a long while, he said helplessly, "I have been waiting for the appearance of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, but I did not expect it to appear under such circumstances, especially since it was after I had gone to great lengths to obtain the Spirit of the Great Dao. It can be said that all my efforts have been in vain."

Lin Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, "Next, I'll have to trouble you to cooperate and extract the spirit of the Great Dao. As for what happens after that, let's wait for Senior Gu to decide."

When the Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea had figured out all the problems, he had already foreseen the possible consequences. His expression remained calm, and he did not go crazy because of his defeat and falling into the hands of others: "The victor is king, the loser is villain. I have no problem."

After a pause, Immortal Lord Ranhai asked, "What if he doesn't kill me?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If Senior Gu doesn't kill you, then you can go and keep Qingluan Immortal Lord company. I will be going to the Heavenly God Realm next, and I don't know what the future holds."

The Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea opened his eyes wide, revealing a look of surprise, but after a few seconds he slowly calmed down.

"You possess the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. You need to gather the five Great Dao Spirits—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—to become a Saint. This trial ground does not have enough of the Five Elements. If you wish to become a Saint, you must go to the Celestial Realm..."

"Given your personality, and with the Enchantress Lord by your side, you'd definitely take the risk and try it..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I'm definitely going to take the gamble."

The Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea looked at Lin Chen with deep, unfathomable eyes. After a long while, he let out a long sigh: "We knew you were extraordinary before, so we tried to win you over. But looking back now, we all underestimated you..."

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "When you stand on high ground and look down, you often can't see things very clearly, which is normal."
