The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3364 The Unexpected Truth

Lin Chen frowned slightly in the black mist.

Is it unrelated to Immortal Lord Qingluan?
Is it an excuse, or the truth?

Lin Chen and others had previously speculated that Qingluan Immortal Lord's attack on Gu Yue might simply be a front man for the Immortal Emperor.

"Then tell me, what is the truth?"

The Azure Phoenix Immortal asked, "If I prove that I have nothing to do with this matter, will you let me leave?"

Lin Chen remained silent, but walked up to him and pointed to his forehead.

When the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord saw this, he immediately panicked.

Is this a plan to use soul-searching magic directly?
"Stop! I'll talk!"

Although he couldn't get a promise from the other party, Qingluan Immortal Lord had no other choice. After all, even if he didn't say anything, he could still find out the secret he wanted to hide by searching his soul.

Since I'm already in someone else's hands, I have no choice but to speak up.

"The matter of using the Azure Phoenix Token to gather a large group of Quasi-Saints to besiege Gu Yue was done by my subordinate Zhou Yuren, but he did it not on my orders."

Lin Chen calmly pressed on, "The Azure Phoenix Token is yours, isn't it? You're saying you didn't give the order?"

Qingluan Immortal Lord smiled bitterly: "The Qingluan Token is mine, but I only gave it to him during my seclusion so that he could manage affairs on my behalf. Who knew he would pull this trick on me?"

Before Lin Chen could ask further, Qingluan Immortal Lord had already given a clean and concise answer: "It was not me who instructed Zhou Yuren to do this, but my junior brother, Ranhai Immortal Lord."

Ok?
Lin Chen was stunned.

He had considered that Qingluan Immortal Lord might reveal the name of the Immortal Emperor, but he never expected that he would reveal the name of Ranhai Immortal Lord.

The mastermind behind it all is actually the Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea?
Qingluan Immortal Lord further explained, "Zhou Yuren is one of Ranhai Immortal Lord's people. He has been hiding by my side all along. It was only during this operation that I saw through Zhou Yuren's identity."

"After I came out of seclusion, Zhou Yuren told me that he had gathered a group of quasi-saints to attack Gu Yue, wanting to seize the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda and present it to me, so that I could present it to my master in exchange for my master's favor."

"But this matter is no small thing. Gu Yue is a person even Master admires. Yet, without my permission, Zhou Yuren took care of him directly in my name."

“His reasoning was quite reasonable. He said I might have my own ideas, but I wouldn’t do them, so only he could make the decision for me, and he would be responsible for any wrongdoing.”

“I am a very suspicious person, and I did not believe his words because of that. I used the Drunken Immortal Pot on him, and after he was tricked, he revealed the whole truth.”

“He has always been a hidden pawn placed by Immortal Lord Ranhai by my side. This time, he acted on the orders of Immortal Lord Ranhai, using my Azure Phoenix Token.”

"If he succeeds, he will defect and disappear, and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda will fall into the hands of the Burning Sea Immortal Lord. If he fails, he will stay behind and throw all the blame on me."

"After the operation, Gu Yue refused to submit and sent away the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda. Gu Yue fell into Zhou Yuren's hands. Zhou Yuren handed Gu Yue over to Immortal Lord Ranhai, but told me that Gu Yue refused to submit and used a secret technique to self-destruct."

After listening to Qingluan Immortal Lord's account, Lin Chen was secretly surprised. The struggle between these three fellow disciples was far too intense.

On the surface, everyone seems to love each other, but in private, it's a life-or-death struggle where they stab each other in the back.

Lin Chen roughly believed the story, but now that the Quasi-Saint army had already launched its attack, he certainly couldn't let Lord Mei Shi capture Immortal Lord Ran Hai anymore.

Lin Chen asked, "You returned from the Star Sea this time, bringing back kryptonite and making a great contribution. Did the Immortal Emperor promise you that he would help you become a saint?" Immortal Lord Qingluan was greatly surprised. This matter was a top secret, and not many people knew about it. How did the person in front of him know about it?

He inquired about the ancient Yue matter, so he couldn't possibly be from Ran Hai. Most of the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord's subordinates had died, so there couldn't possibly be someone so powerful.

The man saw me but used black mist to conceal his voice, which means that he must know me!

The other party was not only worried about seeing his face, but also didn't want him to hear his voice, fearing that he would recognize the other party from his voice.

Qingluan Immortal Lord's mind raced, and one suspicious person after another appeared in his mind, only to be quickly eliminated by himself.

When Lin Chen appeared, Qingluan Immortal Lord was startled, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

Although there is no clear evidence that Lin Chen attacked him, based on Lin Chen's previous and subsequent attitudes towards him, Qingluan Immortal Lord's intuition tells him that this guy is most likely Lin Chen!

Qingluan Immortal Lord's eyes lit up with joy. If it was Lin Chen, then he wouldn't die today!
"Lin Chen, isn't that you?!"

Lin Chen was taken aback. He had concealed himself so thoroughly, yet the other party had still discovered his identity?

How did he find out?
"Lin Chen? You've got quite the imagination. I'm not Lin Chen..."

When Qingluan Immortal Lord uttered Lin Chen's name, his eyes were not on Lin Chen in the black mist, but on the Enchanting Lord beside him.

When the Enchantress Lord heard the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord call out Lin Chen's name, he subconsciously turned his head, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Seeing the reaction of the Enchantress Lord, the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord instantly confirmed that his guess was correct.

This person really is Lin Chen!

Immortal Lord Qingluan relaxed immediately, a hint of smugness appearing in his eyes.

Haha, Lin Chen, you didn't expect this, did you? I've already got you, your life is in my hands!
If you dare kill me, you'll die too!

Lin Chen also noticed the reaction of the Enchantress Lord and knew that he had been exposed. He stopped hiding and directly dispelled the thick fog, revealing his figure.

"I'm curious, how did you find out my identity..."

Qingluan Immortal Lord smiled slightly: "It's my intuition. I'm not actually sure if it's you, but after thinking about it, the only one with a little ability to accomplish what's in front of us is you."

"Although I don't understand who this Mu Tianjun is or why he possesses such terrifying strength, I just felt it was you, and thankfully I was right..."

Lin Chen said calmly, "Now that you know my identity, what are you so happy about? I'm not going to let you leave!"

The Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord laughed loudly: "Yes, you can't let me go, but if you kill me, you will die too!"

Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly. He naturally understood the reason that Qingluan Immortal Lord had mentioned, and asked leisurely, "Oh, how could I die?"

The Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord said smugly, "At the Starry Sky Beast Outpost, when I attacked the guards, you were also captivated by me. At that time, I used my methods to control your primordial spirit!"

“Your life has always been in my hands. Originally, I was worried that you wouldn’t obey me on the road, so I kept a backup plan, and also for the future. But you’ve always been quite sensible, so I haven’t exposed this matter.”

"I never would have guessed! My actions back then actually saved my life today! Hahaha, it's truly a miracle that heaven hasn't forsaken me..."
