The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2579 Did I encounter a ghost today?

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "You've bribed the people in the surrounding villages to deliberately lead us here?"

The Enchanting Taoist chuckled and said, "There's no need for bribery. Just show yourself, heal their illnesses, give them some things, and tell them about my cave. If anyone asks them about it, they'll naturally tell you my location."

"I don't need to go anywhere. I can just wait here. In any case, after a while, fools like you will come to my door. I don't need to do anything. I can just watch the singing and dancing, play with women, and drink fine wine. When people come, I'll offer them some spiked wine and then take them down."

"You two are young and quite capable; you'll likely fetch a good price..."

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid of running into someone you can't afford to offend?"

The Enchanting Taoist chuckled smugly, “Of course I can identify my targets. If the opponent is not strong, I will drug them first. If that fails, I will capture them directly. If the opponent is very strong and obviously not easy to deal with, I will not act unless I am confident. I will invite them for a drink, tell them what they want to know, and then let them leave.”

Lin Chen sneered, "It seems you think we're easy targets."

The Enchanting Taoist chuckled and said, "Although I cannot discern your strength, I can determine your approximate age. You are less than a hundred years old, and she is older than you, but not by much. How much strength could two little cultivators have? If I don't arrest you, who will I arrest?"

Lin Chen said coldly, "Then you've misjudged me today."

Lin Chen opened his mouth, and the medicinal wine that had been enveloped in spiritual energy flew out instantly, crashing to the ground and turning into a puddle of water.

Across from her, Shang Wenyan also spat out the medicinal wine, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

If I fall into the hands of the Bewitching Taoist and he sees my true face, I can easily imagine what will happen to me.

It's obvious that this guy has already cheated countless cross-border cultivators. He's like a black marketeer; if someone is easy to bully, he'll bully them to death, leaving not even a bone fragment.

The Enchanting Taoist's expression changed slightly, then he sneered, "I underestimated you. You are so cautious. No wonder you dare to venture out alone at such a young age. But so what if you didn't drink the medicinal wine?"

The Enchanting Taoist pointed to the house: "This house was originally a magic treasure that sealed off the space here. Now that you've entered, unless you defeat me, you won't be able to escape."

Lin Chen stared at the arrogant Bewitching Taoist: "May I ask what your cultivation level is?"

The Enchanting Taoist laughed loudly and said arrogantly, "Since I was sent here by the city lord, I naturally have enough strength. A peak Great Luo Immortal is nothing in the entire Western Prison, but dealing with you foreign devils who have crossed the border is a piece of cake." Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan exchanged a glance, their eyes looking rather strange.

That's arrogant enough, but you're really unlucky today!

What the Enchanting Taoist said actually makes a lot of sense. Lin Chen is only a hundred years old, and Shang Wenyan is a little older, but not by much. At this age, it is simply impossible for him to surpass a peak Great Luo Immortal.

Unless one is born into a wealthy family, cultivates top-tier cultivation techniques from birth, enjoys top-tier resources, and possesses exceptional talent, progressing smoothly and breaking through realms almost without pause, it might be possible to surpass a peak Grand Luo Immortal.

So here's the question: such prodigies are definitely the focus of wealthy families' cultivation, the future of those families. Once such a person goes out, he is usually accompanied by a powerful sect expert to protect him, lest he die unexpectedly while away from home.

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan are so young, yet they travel together across borders to enter the Western Prison without any elders accompanying them. Could such people be prodigies from wealthy families?
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "You're right, it's just a pity that I had bad luck today."

The Enchanting Taoist looked at the smiling Lin Chen, his expression changed slightly, and a sudden thought struck him.

isn't it?
isn't it?
If you walk alone at night for too long, you're bound to encounter a ghost. I hope I won't encounter one today.

Without Lin Chen moving, a series of sharp sword energies suddenly burst forth from his body, rushing towards the Bewitching Taoist.

The Taoist's expression changed drastically, and fear appeared in his eyes.

Although the opponent didn't move at all, the vast aura carried by that sword energy was definitely not something a Great Luo Immortal could possess.

The Great Immortal!

This kid is actually a Great Immortal!

With a flick of his hand, the Enchanting Taoist conjured a cyan umbrella that shone with a light like rain and mist, blocking his path.

The sword energy crisscrossed, like a torrential downpour falling on an umbrella, producing a dense and muffled sound.
