The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3497 I'm in big trouble!

Duanmu Wen stared in shock as the young man before him suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Committed suicide?
Duanmu was completely bewildered, his face showing utter confusion.

How could this person commit suicide while talking? What happened to the spirit of the star map he had been plotting against?

What did he mean by what he just said? Does he mean he'll come back to find me?

A bad feeling rose in Duanmu Wen's heart.

This alien slave possesses the ability to jump between stars, yet his master's sect tolerates it. Does this indicate that his master's sect is extremely powerful?
He had originally planned to easily defeat Lin Chen with his own strength, obtain the Star Chart Spirit, and then flee far away, but he never expected that the other party would commit suicide without hesitation.

Duanmu Wen was, after all, a sage. After carefully investigating, he frowned deeply.

This dead guy was actually a clone!
This person not only possesses the supernatural ability of leaping through the stars, but also the ability to create clones.

Things are in trouble.

Originally, I wanted to secretly kill the other party and steal the Star Chart Spirit, but my actions had already fallen into the other party's calculations, so the other party only sent the clone over, while the real body was hiding somewhere.

Duanmu Wen released his terrifying divine sense, radiating outwards to search for Lin Chen's possible hiding place, but found no trace of him.

Duanmu couldn't find Lin Chen, but he was certain that the other party was not far away, and perhaps he was still watching him.

Duanmu Wen recalled Lin Chen's words and suddenly realized that the other party said he would come to find him, so how would he find him?

Duanmu Wen quickly examined himself, and upon doing so, his face immediately turned grim.

He's cursed!
This curse will not harm Duanmu Wen in any way, but it will reveal Duanmu Wen's location.

This was a curse cast by Lin Chen's clone at the cost of his own life, leaving a mark on Duanmu Wen.

Lin Chen was able to track himself down based on this mark!

This is the source of his confidence that he will come back to find himself.

Duanmu gritted his teeth, realizing he had failed miserably. Not only had he failed to obtain the Star Chart Spirit, but he had also made an enemy, and there was no guarantee that the other party wouldn't retaliate against him.

Duanmu Wen wasn't afraid of Lin Chen. No matter how powerful he was, he was just a sub-saint. What he was worried about was the sect behind Lin Chen's master.

During the martial arts contest to choose a husband, Lin Chen's master, He Sen, never revealed his background. However, it is likely that his background is not bad. There must be many saints in his sect. Since he had schemed to take something from someone else's sect, the other party would definitely not let it go.

If a few saints came, following the mark, and surrounded him, would he have any chance of survival?
Duanmu Wen dared not linger any longer and turned to leave.

Lin Chen can jump between stars, which means that he can return to the sect in the blink of an eye. Perhaps he has already complained to the sect by now.

If they don't leave soon, Lin Chen might bring his men back.

By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave even if I want to.

I need to leave quickly and find a place where I can hide and avoid the curse. I need to figure out how to remove the curse from my body first.

Not long after Duanmu Wen fled at top speed, the Linglong Pagoda flew up from a distant mountain peak, flashing with golden light. Lin Chen appeared, accompanied by the Enchantress Lord.

"Your fears have come true; this old man really did intend to kill and steal the treasure..."

The Enchantress smiled and said, "However, he is under your curse. Unless he hides in a place like the Exquisite Tower that can completely isolate him, he will have a hard time escaping your pursuit."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "The method you taught is quite effective."

The Curse Technique was given to Lin Chen by the Lord of Enchantment; it's a type of supernatural power. While it can't harm enemies, it's completely unremovable for a certain period. The Lord of Enchantment was able to easily find Duanmu Wen using this curse.

Lord Enchantress chuckled, "This is a method passed down from the Lord of the Abyss. You must know that he was once a celestial being. How could an ordinary saint withstand such methods?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Since this guy is ungrateful, it is only reasonable for us to take action against him and seize the spirit of the Great Dao. However, he is a saint after all, so it will probably not be easy for us to deal with him."

Lord Enchantress smiled and said, "It would be difficult to kill him in a direct confrontation, but if I find a suitable opportunity, I can impersonate his daughter to get close to him and make my move."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Give it a try."

Lord Enchantress, accompanied by Lin Chen, followed the scent of the curse and gave chase.

Duanmu Wen fled for a long time before finally stopping.

He entered a cave and then released a barrier at the entrance, sealing himself inside in the hope of shielding himself from the other party's perception.

Duanmu Wen, thinking of his daughter, released her from the bead.

Duan Mulan's eyes were bloodshot. She looked around and asked Duanmu angrily, "Father, did you kill Young Master Lin?"

Duanmu sighed, "I've been tricked. That guy had anticipated that I might try to seize the Star Chart Spirit. The one who came to see me wasn't his true self, but his clone."

Duan Mulan asked in surprise, "Is Young Master Lin alright?"

Duanmu Wen looked at his delighted daughter, but felt very depressed: "He's fine, it's me who's in trouble now."

Duan Mulan asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Duanmu sighed: "That kid's clone self-destructed, using his life to cast a curse on me. Now I have his mark on me, and he can track me based on the mark. I'm releasing a barrier now, hoping to block the tracking."

Duan Mulan said angrily, "It's all because you, Father, are unreasonable and repay kindness with enmity. Young Master Lin kindly saved me, and instead of thanking him, you even tried to kill him and steal his treasure..."

Duanmu had no answer.

How could he have known it would end like this?

If he had known beforehand, he certainly wouldn't have taken such a risk. Unfortunately, there's no going back.

Since Lin Chen said those words, it means that the other party will definitely seek revenge and will not let it go so easily.

Now that things have come to this, there is no other way but to hide in this barrier and try to remove the curse from my body.

"I'm going into seclusion for a while. Take care of yourself during this time and don't leave this cave."

Duan Mulan gave a cold "hmm," her anger still lingering.

Although Lin Chen was alright, which relieved Duan Mulan, she still couldn't forgive her father's ungrateful behavior.

How can someone be like that?

"I don't want to stay in the cave!"

Duan Mulan didn't want to stay with her father. Seeing him reminded her of his past actions, which made her feel ashamed.

Duanmu Wen roughly understood Duanmu Lan's feelings and tossed her a token.

"It allows you to freely enter and exit the cave. I know you don't want to see me, but don't go too far; it might not be safe outside."
