The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 704 Just how strong is Senior Sister's combat power?
I slept well all night.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Chen walked out of his room and bumped into Qingling. He casually asked, "Good morning, Qingling, where is Senior Sister?"

"She went to the Wujin mine."

Lin Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes widening in surprise: "Who did she go with?"

Qingling replied, "She went alone."

Lin Chen snapped out of his daze and immediately became worried: "Doesn't she bring anyone with her?"

Qingling replied, "The peak master said that if she can't win, bringing others along won't help. If the other side has ulterior motives, bringing too many people might actually cause trouble. She'll go scout ahead first before deciding what to do."

Lin Chen frowned. Being a city lord could be easy or hard. It was easy because he could be a hands-off manager, but hard because he had to fight for his life whenever something happened.

"What is the strength level of the cultivators stationed in Baitao City?"

Qingling smiled bitterly: "You know the situation of the disciples of Flying Waterfall Peak. Most of them are not considered by the four major sects. Only a very few are not joining the four major sects for special reasons. The peak master's unique skills are not suitable for ordinary disciples. Not to mention the problem of talent, the sheer amount of resources is enough to overwhelm them."

"That's why there aren't many strong disciples at Flying Waterfall Peak to begin with. Gu Yuanjie is considered one of the best among them, but he only has the strength of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. With that strength, he simply can't guard a city. It's all thanks to the prestige of the peak master that he's here."

"The peak master has been stuck at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage for a long time. Of course, this is because she wants to wait until she has fully mastered the Sword Bone before advancing to the Divine Transformation stage. However, in the eyes of outsiders, they think that she is definitely not capable enough and not strong enough to advance to the Divine Transformation stage, so they gradually stop taking her seriously."

"Ignoring Nascent Soul stage experts, the city lord of Jinghun City is at the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul stage, and there are many more Nascent Soul stage experts. If a full-scale war breaks out, as long as someone can hold off the peak master, then Baitao City will definitely not be able to defeat Jinghun City."

"The attack on the Black Gold Mine by Jinghun City this time is likely a test. If the Peak Master can't deal with them, their next step might be to annex Baitao City."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What level is Senior Sister's combat power? How does she fare against a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Qingling replied, "Ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are no match for peak masters, but in a real battle, it depends on the opponent's specific strength, the power of their magic weapons, and so on. For example, if you have the Water-Fire Mirror, you can withstand even a tree demon at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage for so long. So whether you can win or not, we'll only know after the battle."

Lin Chen immediately felt a little worried: "Won't there be any danger?"

Qingling comforted him, "The Peak Master might lose, but it will be very difficult to keep her here. Her three-foot sword barrier is extremely powerful in close combat; anyone who gets close enough to stop her will suffer." Lin Chen took two steps, then stopped, "So what should I do now?"

Qingling smiled and said, "The Peak Master brought you here not to ask you to help fight, but to let you see the Wilderness Realm. You helped save Gu Qianqian yesterday, which was already a great help to the Peak Master. After all, Gu Yuanjie usually helps the Peak Master manage Baitao City and has made great contributions. If something happens to Gu Qianqian, the Peak Master will feel guilty, and then things will probably get out of hand."

Lin Chen understood what Qing Ling meant by "this has blown up." If it were an ordinary cultivator who died, it might be handled according to normal procedures. But since it was Gu Yuanjie's daughter who died, Gu Yuanjie, a meritorious figure, would definitely seek revenge. That might mean a full-scale war with Jinghun City and the Holy Fire Sect.

At that time, the war would never have stopped unless many people died.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go for a stroll in the city."

"Go ahead, text me if anything comes up."

Lin Chen took off on his sword and flew directly towards the center of Baitao City.

According to Qiao Wei, Bai Tao City was just a remote small town, but in reality, the city was not small at all. It was square in shape, with a length and width of at least twenty miles, densely packed with houses, well-connected streets, and a large population.

If a city of this size can only be considered a small city, then how big must a large city be?
As Lin Chen was observing, a giant airship, over two hundred meters long, rose from the city. The airship was filled with goods and quite a few people, making it look rather spectacular.

In the desolate realm, cities are usually far apart and there are many monsters, making road construction impossible. Therefore, trade between cities relies entirely on large flying ships, similar to air transport in the human world.

Lin Chen felt he should also buy a small flying boat. Flying on a sword was fine for short periods, but it would be quite tiring for long periods.

Flying boats are different. You just need to slap a spirit stone onto the flying boat, the formation will be activated, and the flying boat will fly forward on its own. It's fast and easy. As long as the spirit stone's energy doesn't run out, it can keep flying. You don't have to do anything. You can drink tea if you want, or cultivate if you want.

Lin Chen descended onto the most bustling street, intending to browse the spirit medicine shops and, if the prices were right, dispose of the spirit medicines he carried and sell some spirit stones to prepare for the future.

What if we encounter Xuan Tie Wu Jing?

Lin Chen walked a few steps along the street, then suddenly stopped, his eyes showing surprise and astonishment.
