The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 826 The Tomb of the Demon Emperor is about to be opened!
Qiao Wei appeared in front of Lin Chen with a look of surprise and delight.

"You're alright? I was so scared! I thought something had happened to you!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Thanks to the magic seal that my senior brother cast for me to conceal my aura, I was able to hide under the spiritual spring without being discovered by the golden lion and the drinking monsters. I waited until they were all gone before I slowly crawled out."

Qiao Wei's eyes widened: "You went to get the spiritual spring?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I don't think you took much, and you lured away the remaining monsters, so I went over to pack more, but then the golden lion came back. I hid underwater, and it was only a few dozen meters away from me."

Qiao Wei slapped Lin Chen hard on the chest and scolded, "I told you to lie down and not move, and not to be greedy, but you just wouldn't listen."

There were other people around, but Lin Chen didn't mention the divine fruit growing by the pool. Faced with Qiao Wei's concerned reproach, he could only chuckle foolishly.

"What's going on now? Is the Demon Emperor's tomb right down there?"

Qiao Wei nodded: "Yes, we originally planned to forcefully break into the tomb, but those demons interfered with us, so we couldn't continue attacking the tomb. Now we can only wait. Something must have happened in the Demon Emperor's Tomb, and it will open soon."

After a pause, Qiao Wei cautioned, "Don't join in the fun here. Once the Demon Emperor's Tomb opens, this place will soon become a battlefield. If you want to watch, stay far away."

Lin Chen was self-aware enough to know that these were all important figures in the Void Realm and powerful demons in the Transformation Stage. He couldn't afford to offend them. Even if one of those powerful demons casually struck him, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Just as Lin Chen was about to answer, a loud bang suddenly rang out in the middle of the lake.

"boom!"

The lake water transformed into countless water columns, shooting up hundreds of feet high. Then, the water level of the entire lake dropped rapidly. At the same time, a huge commotion came from underground, and the bottom of the lake slowly rose.

Qiao Wei's expression changed: "The Demon Emperor's Tomb is about to open, you'd better leave quickly!"

Lin Chen didn't dare to waste any words and quickly flew away, instantly moving far away. Zhu Yao and the others also quickly retreated a distance.

The colorful glow suddenly became even more intense, like a sword light that swept across the entire lakebed in an instant.

The lakebed rose rapidly, and all the silt was blown away by an invisible force, revealing the building below, which turned out to be a golden spire. The multicolored light was shooting out from the top of the golden spire.

The golden spire was completely enveloped in the light of the array, and as it rose into the air, everyone saw the huge, radiant portal.

The enormous golden spire rose completely above the ground, reaching a height of at least a thousand meters, and looked quite majestic.

"Break through the formation and charge in!"

As Li Ping'an calmly spoke, a group of powerful figures among the human cultivators launched their attack, with more than a dozen colossal hands, capable of blotting out the sky, beginning to bombard the entrance to the golden spire. The demon race, seeing this, did not intervene, as they too desired to enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

For tens of thousands of years, human cultivators have been searching for the tomb of the Demon Emperor, and the demon race has been doing the same.
The two sides are evenly matched in terms of strength; otherwise, they would have already started fighting, and wouldn't have had to wait until now.

The tomb is about to be opened, and it's too late to ask for help or find allies now. All we can do is wait for the Demon Emperor's tomb to be opened and then fight for it by our own means.

"boom!"

With each bombardment, the light on the spire's gates rapidly diminished.

Finally, in another earth-shattering impact, the light on the portal shattered.

As the light shattered, countless magical artifacts suddenly flew out of the portal, carrying beams of light that shot out in all directions.

Human cultivators like Li Ping'an made their moves to seize the magical treasures, while the demons on the other side also joined in the competition.

There were so many magical treasures that many missed, and the cultivators watching the battle were overjoyed. They all transformed into streaks of light and chased after the various magical treasures.

Lin Chen stood atop a mountain peak, watching this scene with a profound sense of awe.

The door has only just been breached, yet so many magical treasures have already been shot out; one can only imagine how many magical treasures are inside this tomb.

After everyone had retrieved all the magical artifacts that had been launched, they rushed toward the golden portal.

On the other side, the demon race also rushed over, and the two sides fought fiercely at the entrance.

Li Ping'an formed hand seals and pushed forward, causing the three-headed giant wolf opposite him to spit blood from all seven orifices. Despite its strength being at least comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it was directly killed by Li Ping'an's single move.

The snake woman rushed towards an old man, and with a spit of venom, the spiritual energy shield emanating from the old man's body was instantly melted by the venom. The venom instantly enveloped the old man, melting his flesh and blood, and even his primordial spirit was melted away before it could escape.

Lin Chen gazed at the terrifying battlefield from afar, his heart filled with shock.

These people are at least at the late Nascent Soul stage or even the Void Realm. Normally, they would cause the ground to tremble if they stomped their feet, but here, several of them died just from a mask.

How cruel!

As Lin Chen was observing, a beam of light shot out from the portal, passed over the fighting crowd, and flew towards the mountain peak in Lin Chen's direction.
