The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 960 You little liar, you'll die a horrible death!
"You despicable brat, I should have killed you sooner..."

The man looked at Chen Tianqiong, whose body was twisted and howling in despair inside the Soul-Connecting Pearl, and sneered: "Yes, after all, my strength is inferior to yours. Why don't you just kill me and take the Myriad Spirits Blood Array directly?"

"Let me tell you something last. Actually, I have absolutely no connection with the Thousand Evils Sect. Oh, well, you can't say that. After all, I obtained the ancient inheritance of the Thousand Evils Sect. To be precise, I don't know anyone in the current Thousand Evils Sect. Even if you kill me, no one will bother you."

"Unfortunately, you were all intimidated by me and didn't dare to lay a hand on me. You even obediently swore a great oath to the Demon Lord and signed a contract with me. Since you have failed and are no longer of any value, then just obediently disappear completely."

Chen Tianqiong screamed in despair, "Go to hell, you little liar, I curse you to a terrible death..."

Chen Tianqiong's voice disappeared completely, and the vortex inside the red sphere continued to spin, like a rotating millstone.

After a long while, the red vortex disappeared, and a wisp of spiritual energy, like thick white smoke, drifted out, just like the fine smoke of sandalwood, continuously entering the man's mouth.

The man's eyes became obsessed and frenzied, extremely excited, like a drug addict high on drugs.

The white smoke dissipated for about ten breaths, and the Soul Refining Pearl returned to its transparent state, as if nothing had happened.

The man took a deep drag of the last puff of white smoke, tilted his head back, and let out a low, manic laugh.

"The primordial spirit of a Void Realm expert is truly extraordinary; it's incredibly pure. It can at least help me advance to the next level. In this dog-eat-dog world, cannibalism is indeed the most direct and effective method, haha..."

The man's laughter sounded like a sigh, yet also like a wail, giving off an extremely neurotic feeling.

The man turned back to look into the distance and murmured, "As expected of someone favored by the Human Emperor's Seal, even this couldn't kill you. The combat power of the Sword Bone Path is terrifying. It's a good thing I didn't attack directly."

"Forget it, the path of cultivation is long and there's plenty of time. There's no need to rush. I should go and meet the Thousand Evil Sect. I inherited an ancient legacy, so wouldn't you say I'm their ancestor?"

The man leaped into the air and quickly disappeared into the distance.

……

"Wait a minute, I'm going to take a bath first."

In the valley, Lin Chen poured the spiritual spring he had obtained from Yin Yang Valley into a bucket, and then immersed himself in it.

Although the Spirit Spring is not as powerful as the Life Pearl, it still possesses excellent healing abilities.

Soaking in the spiritual spring, Lin Chen's bloody wounds began to heal rapidly, and new flesh gradually grew over the exposed bones. After soaking for half a day, all the spiritual energy in the spring was absorbed by Lin Chen, and his injuries improved significantly, no longer resembling his previous miserable state.

"What kind of medicine is this? It works really well."

"The spiritual spring of Yin-Yang Valley".

Lin Chen replied, "It's also an antidote for the Yin-Yang Valley's rare poison. We sold most of it before, and there's still some left."

Su Mubai smiled and said, "You've entered two of the six forbidden zones of the Wilderness Realm and left safely both times. Your skills and luck are truly extraordinary."

"Just lucky."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "The Three Ghost Gates have been destroyed, which can be considered revenge for the 400,000 innocent souls of Kongyuan City. It's a pity that we haven't found the mastermind behind it."

Su Mubai said in a deep voice, "He possesses the Myriad Spirits Blood Array, yet he hasn't collected the Myriad Spirits Blood Pearls himself. There must be a reason for this..."

Lin Chen replied, "Not strong enough?"

Yue Shanhe said that the activation of the Myriad Spirits Blood Array takes a certain amount of time, during which time the defenders will inevitably launch a counterattack.

The city lord's strength is at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and this level of strength has a strong counterattack capability. The reason this person dares not take action is most likely because he cannot kill the Nascent Soul stage city lord first or prevent a counterattack from a Nascent Soul stage expert.

Su Mubai nodded: "I think that's the reason. According to what you said, this person is most likely one of the adventurers who entered the True Dragon Secret Realm back then. His strength is not very high, and he is most likely a disciple of a sect in our Xihou Prefecture. After all, the three sects he mentioned are all in Xihou Prefecture."

"With the Three Ghosts Sect destroyed, he lost his source of the Myriad Spirits Blood Pearl. Such a person is like a devil who has gone astray. He will not give up so easily and will definitely try to cooperate with other sects or choose weak villages and towns to attack."

"No matter what, as long as he is alive, he will definitely show his true colors again. His identity can be hidden for a while, but it cannot be completely hidden."

Seeing Lin Chen's furrowed brows, Su Mubai guessed what Lin Chen was worried about and comforted him, "The path of refining has existed since ancient times and has never been extinct. Even the ancient powerful beings have not completely eradicated them. How can you and I completely eradicate them?"

"You've already destroyed the Three Ghost Gates, which can be considered an explanation to the innocent souls of Kongyuan City. Moreover, you've risked your own life, so you've done your best and have a clear conscience. Therefore, you don't need to be disappointed because you didn't catch the mastermind behind it all..."
