The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 944 If you can't beat them, just run away; escaping is my specialty.

"There's news!"

Lin Chen was playing chess with Su Mubai when Yue Shanhe rushed in, looking quite excited.

Lin Chen looked up: "Seven Nether Sect?"

"No!"

Yue Shanhe replied, "We asked many people, and many merchants from the north and south, but none of them had ever heard of the Seven Nether Sect. However, we were able to trace the origin of the button we found."

Lin Chen nodded: "They claim to be from the Seven Nether Sect, but that's probably a fake identity. It's normal that we can't find out. What's the background of that button?"

Yue Shanhe replied, "The Three Ghosts Sect is a sect that excels in alchemy. They don't have a large number of members, but they are quite powerful. They possess very advanced alchemy techniques, and many cultivators seek their services. Their network of relationships is quite complex..."

Su Mubai thought for a moment: "The first character of both names, 'Three Ghosts Sect' and 'Seven Nether Sect,' is a number, and the second character has a similar meaning. Moreover, the Three Ghosts Sect is also skilled in alchemy. Although the way of alchemy and the way of refining are different, they may be similar in principle..."

Lin Chen stood up: "Whether it is or not, we have to go and see."

Yue Shanhe said, "I've inquired. The sect leader of the Three Ghosts Sect is at the late Nascent Soul stage, not particularly strong. However, it's said that there's a Supreme Elder who has been in seclusion for a long time and is at the Void Realm. If we go directly there, regardless of whether we can find any evidence, it will be very troublesome..."

Lin Chen frowned; he understood the subtext in Yue Shanhe's words.

They came to our door with murderous intent, but without finding any evidence, how could they possibly let it go? If they did find evidence, then since they dared to attack Kongyuan City, they obviously wouldn't be afraid of us. They have experts at the Void Realm. If we really fought, not only would we alert them, but who among us could withstand them?
The other side killed everyone in Kongyuan City, including the elders of the Wanjian Sect. If we were to walk into their trap, wouldn't that be like lambs to the slaughter?
Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Where is the Mountain Ghost Sect?"

"It's about a seven or eight-day journey from here."

Lin Chen nodded: "If there are too many people, it will be easy to alert them. Moreover, as you said, the other party has a Void Realm expert. If we go to their door, we will easily walk into the tiger's den. Furthermore, if we alarm them, they may simply move their sect and leave, changing their identity, and it will probably be difficult to find them again."

Yue Shanhe stared at Lin Chen: "Then what is your opinion, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Chen calmly said, "You guys stay put for now. I'll go check it out by myself first. I'm young and won't attract attention. I'll investigate secretly. If we confirm that the other party is the murderer, then we'll take action and try our best to ensure that no one escapes."

Yue Shanhe nodded: "This method is feasible, but Mr. Lin, you are alone. If you go deeper, you may encounter danger..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If I can't beat you, I'll just run away. Escaping is something I'm good at."

Yue Shanhe laughed: "That's true. Even the Crimson Dragon King and the True Dragon can't do anything to you. If you want to run away, they definitely can't."

Lin Chen made the decision: "It's settled then. I'll go investigate, and you send someone to meet me. The main task is to relay messages, since I'll need someone to pass on any information I find." Su Mubai volunteered: "I'll go."

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay!"

Lin Chen was only there to gather information, and the people he asked to meet him were just there to help out and pass on messages. It wasn't a battle, so there was no need to worry too much about combat strength. Su Mubai was a friend, so it was naturally easier for them to get along.

After obtaining the location of the Three Ghost Gates on the map, Lin Chen, Su Mubai, and Lu Daoren set off.

Ten days later, the three arrived at the Mountain Ghost Gate.

The Three Ghost Gates are located atop a majestic peak, with a massive barrier enveloping the entire mountain, making it appear as if it were shrouded in mist, exuding an ethereal aura.

The entrance to the Three Ghosts Gate was in a valley. Lin Chen was surprised to find that there were many people at the entrance of the valley, densely packed together, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

How is this going?

"I'll go check it out. You two stay here and wait for my news. Lao Lu, if anything happens, protect her."

Master Lu readily agreed, "Alright!"

Su Mubai cautioned, "Be careful, safety comes first."

"Don't worry, they can't kill me."

Lin Chen smiled and patted himself a few times. His intimidating aura immediately subsided, and he became much more ordinary.

Lin Chen took out his flying sword, which he hadn't used in a long time, and silently flew over on it.

No one paid any attention to Lin Chen; everyone's eyes were fixed on the man standing ahead, speaking arrogantly.

"Our Three Ghosts Sect has always followed an elite path, with relatively few disciples, and we rarely accept new disciples. However, now that the Demon Emperor has reappeared and the Human Emperor's Seal has also appeared, it is clear that the world is about to undergo a great change. Therefore, the sect leader has decided to recruit more disciples to increase the sect's strength and prepare for this great change."

"Time is of the essence, so this time we will not accept ordinary people or Qi Refining stage disciples. We will only accept disciples with Foundation Establishment stage or above. Whether you are Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or even Nascent Soul, as long as you are willing to join the Three Ghosts Sect, we will accept you..."
