The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 724 I'm not leaving!
The city lord's mansion collected six million spirit stones, and Lin Chen and Situ Xiu contributed twenty-five million spirit stones. Of these thirty-one million spirit stones, twenty-two million had already been burned in the previous six days.

The first day burned through five million, and over the six days it averaged out to three and a half million per day, which is much less than previously estimated.

On the fourth day, after Feng Jixin left, the amount of spirit stones consumed each day dropped rapidly, but this also made everyone feel uneasy.

What did Feng Jixin do?
He wouldn't just leave for no reason, would he? If he abandoned the mission, then there would be no point in the others staying here.

He will definitely come back, perhaps with helpers, perhaps with secret weapons.

Despite our concerns, we still have to defend this city.

Lin Chen accepted the spirit stones brought by Su Mubai and said, "You look exhausted. Go and rest for half the night, and leave before dawn tomorrow."

Su Mubai shook his head: "I'm not leaving."

Lin Chen frowned: "It's dangerous here. If Feng Jixin reappears, something might happen. You might be in danger if you stay."

Su Mubai smiled and said, "It's alright. If there's any real danger, I'll run away. Besides, I'm from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and I didn't even lift a finger. Feng Jixin won't do anything to me."

Lin Chen couldn't refuse Su Mubai's suggestion, and besides, what she said made a lot of sense.

Although the Holy Flame Sect is powerful, it will not make enemies without reason. Su Mubai is a representative of the younger generation of disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect, and her ancestor is also a high-ranking member of the Myriad Swords Sect. Before she takes action against the Holy Flame Sect, the Holy Flame Sect will definitely not deal with her and would only provoke the Myriad Swords Sect.

"Alright, you can stay, but you have to promise me you won't help."

Lin Chen said one thing, then added, "To be honest, if we can't even hold them off, your intervention as a Golden Core cultivator will only put yourself in danger; it won't do you any good."

Su Mubai smiled and said, "I understand. If there's a real problem, you should run away quickly. Don't worry about me. I won't do anything, and nothing will happen to me."

"It's a word."

The seventh day passed without incident.

The eighth day passed without incident.

On the ninth day, after having breakfast, Lin Chen went to visit his senior sister Qiao Wei again.

Qiao Wei's physical condition has improved a lot. Although she has not yet woken up, the poison from the Divine Intoxication in her body has gradually dissipated. It seems that she will wake up today or tomorrow.

Su Mubai watched Lin Chen come out and asked, "How was it?"

"The toxins are almost gone, he'll wake up soon."

Su Mubai smiled and said, "I hope he wakes up soon, and this crisis will be over." Lin Chen nodded, but his mood was not much brighter. The disappearance of Feng Jixin always weighed heavily on Lin Chen's heart.

The attacks from the group of Nascent Soul cultivators in the sky had become almost ineffective, as they knew that Qiao Wei was about to wake up.

Feng Jixin hasn't returned yet. If they're left here, and Qiao Wei wakes up and comes charging in, aren't they just waiting to die?
Besides Feng Jixin, who can stop Qiao Wei?

At noon, the sun shone brightly under a cloudless sky. Lin Chen sat cross-legged on the high platform, and suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly turned his head.

A black dot appeared in the distant sky, flying rapidly towards this direction and quickly arriving above Baitao City. It was none other than Feng Jixin, who had been missing for several days.

Lin Chen's heart sank; this guy really had returned.

Gu Yuanjie appeared before Lin Chen with a grave expression and said in a low voice, "If the spiritual energy barrier is broken, run immediately and don't linger."

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "If the city really falls, he will definitely come for me for the first time. How can Bai Tao City compare to the Water and Fire Mirror? Besides, I have humiliated him so much. He must catch me to avenge himself. At that time, you must take advantage of the fact that the people above have not come down yet and run away quickly..."

Qingling clenched her fists nervously: "The city's defensive formation... he can't break it so easily by himself, can he?"

Lin Chen said in a low voice, "Let's wait and see."

In the sky, Feng Jixin looked at the group of people in front of him and said coldly, "I will blast open the light barrier, and then I will go inside. Once the protective barrier dissipates, you will all go in and kill all the cultivators!"

With a venomous look in his eyes, Zhao Yutian, who had lost an arm, said, "We must catch that brat Lin Chen. I want to tear him to pieces."

Feng Jixin smiled slightly: "The first thing I'll do after I get in is capture him. Don't worry, I'll leave him alive for you."

A sinister smile appeared on Zhao Yutian's face: "I will peel him apart piece by piece and make him regret ever being born!"

Feng Jixin nodded, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

All you need to do is snatch the Water-Fire Mirror, and you can kill anyone you want. If he really is Shi Changsheng's disciple, and Shi Changsheng comes for revenge, then you, the murderer, can even take the blows for him.

With a wave of his hand, Feng Jixin conjured a spherical magic weapon about one meter in diameter in front of him. He slapped the magic weapon with his palm, and it immediately lit up with a blinding light, while rapidly falling downwards.

In the blink of an eye, the spherical magic weapon fell thousands of meters and then crashed directly into the top of the spiritual energy shield of Baitao City.

"boom!"

Like a nuclear explosion, the entire world shook violently, and a hole several kilometers in diameter instantly shattered at the top of the city's spiritual energy shield.
