The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 973 Enemy attack!

"You come from the human realm, is this something you felt compelled to say?"

Faced with Zhu Yao's teasing, Lin Chen joked, "That's right. In the mortal realm, I was an invincible being, but after entering the Wilderness Realm, I'm just a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage who can be bullied by anyone. That's quite a difference."

"I'm actually fine. After all, I'm young and I haven't been promoted for long. The number one expert in the human realm that I know isn't without opportunities to enter blessed lands, but he's always hesitated. A big reason for this is that he can't accept the difference in status."

Long Yan'er chuckled and said, "For us, the end of life is still far away, and whether we can enter the Immortal Realm is not so important. But for those who have reached the late stage of the Void Realm, that is the hope of survival."

"No matter what the celestial realm is like, at least after ascending to immortality, one's lifespan is measured in tens of thousands of years, and one can have a long life. As long as one can live, it is better than sleeping underground forever."

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, but suddenly remembered what Meng Lan had said that day.

There's no difference between the Immortal Realm and the Wilderness Realm; it's a world where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty are respected!
Just like those two sisters, they must have been demon kings before they ascended to immortality, commanding the wind and rain, and who would dare to disobey them?

After their ascension, the two women, who were originally dragons, were reduced to maids and carriage pullers. Thinking about it this way, the younger sister's rebellion is not incomprehensible.

When these powerful sect leaders, whose mere stomp could shake the ground, ascend to the Immortal Realm, their status suddenly plummets, and countless immortals and great powers can now control their lives. They must now live cautiously, and their feelings must be a complex mix of emotions.

Perhaps, this is the price of living.

"That's right. Whoever wants to ascend to immortality the most should go first. We're so young, so we should stay in the back. Safety first."

"With so many big shots around, it's not our turn to help. We just need to protect ourselves."

"But at that time, we will all have to follow the elders of the sect. So, Lin Chen, who will you be with?"

Lin Chen smiled and politely declined, "No need, I'll just follow along and see. If anything seems wrong, I'll run away. It's not a big problem."

Zhu Yao didn't press the matter and laughed, "Alright, putting aside your fighting skills, no one can match your ability to run away."

Three days later, the cultivators set off in a grand procession.

This time, it wasn't a sneaky, dodging attack, but a straightforward, open assault.

Side push!

Whoever gets in the way, we'll push them away!

Lin Chen followed behind the group, looking at the dense crowd ahead, his heart filled with anticipation.

What a powerful lineup!

There were at least fifty Void Realm experts ahead of us, and most of them were at the Great Perfection of the Void Realm!

As the group continued onward, attackers soon appeared along the way. These monsters, with bloodshot eyes, launched a fierce and fearless attack on the group!
These demonic beasts were essentially committing suicide in front of so many powerful beings, but they showed no fear and rushed forward to their deaths one after another.

Because of their large numbers and cautious approach, the team's advance was not particularly fast. Five days later, a majestic mountain peak blocked their path.

Lin Chen gazed at the mountain peak from afar, slowing his pace once more and distancing himself slightly from the group. It was on this very mountain that Lin Chen had first encountered the woman in white.

The group reached the foot of the mountain, but the woman in white did not appear; the mountain was completely silent.

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised. Wasn't the woman in white a guardian?

What about people?

As darkness fell, the group stopped and set up camp to rest.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged in a corner of the camp, his mind clear and alert, always on high alert.

During the day, neither the woman in white, Ji Ruxue, nor the madman Yan Chusheng appeared, which was clearly abnormal.

Based on Lin Chen's brief interaction with Ji Ruxue, although they were guards, they were not like those berserk monsters that would only attack irrationally. They possessed the rationality of normal people.

The massive army of cultivators was so impressive and well-prepared. Since they didn't choose to confront them head-on, it's highly likely they will choose to attack at night.

What Lin Chen could think of, the many big shots leading the team could naturally think of as well. So when setting up camp, the thirteen array flags, the treasures of Xixuan Mountain, were lowered down, enveloping the entire camp.

The array flags were driven deep into the ground, becoming enormous, like pillars of heaven and earth, radiating awe-inspiring spiritual energy. The array flags were interconnected, forming a veritable net.

In the middle of the night, a fierce wind howled.

A black blade of light suddenly appeared like a ghost, slicing through the night and slashing down at a battle flag.

The battle flags flashed with light, and a spear shadow shot into the sky, heading towards the black blade light.

"clang!"

The gunshot shattered instantly.

The blade continued its downward strike, as if cleaving the heavens and earth in two.

The thirteen battle flags lit up with dazzling light at the same time, but they still couldn't stop the attack.

The battle flag snapped in half, producing a thunderous roar.

"Enemy attack!"
