The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3505 Is He the Real Master?
Exquisite Tower.

Nangong Li and Dugu Feng stared in shock at the world before them.

Many magical artifacts contain their own private spaces, but they had never seen a magical artifact that contained an entire vast and boundless world.

What level of magic weapon is this?

Soon, Lin Chen and the others appeared in front of them.

Seeing Lin Chen, Ning Hesheng, Duanmu Wen, and "Duanmu Lan" all standing together, Nangong Li and Dugu Feng instantly understood.

The two of them had been tricked.

These people are all in cahoots!

Could it be that Lin Chen took Duanmu Lan away and somehow managed to win her over, and then he also won over Duanmu Wen, causing Duanmu Wen to choose Ning Hesheng as his son-in-law, so they conspired to scheme against the two of them?

Lin Chen walked up to Nangong Li, picked up his spatial ring, and placed it in front of Nangong Li.

"Untie it."

Now that things have come to this, Nangong Li naturally has no bargaining chips. If he resists, he will only suffer more.

He cooperated by removing the restrictions on the spatial ring and handing over his magical artifact.

As the Holy Son of the Heavenly Path Sect, Nangong Li's magical treasures were naturally extraordinary, but Lin Chen still looked down on them.

Lin Chen quickly found the rubbing he had bought at the Yuntian City auction house, as well as the explanatory jade slip he received when paying the fee.

Lin Chen asked, "Why didn't you enter the Holy Domain earlier? Why are you still staying here?"

Nangong Li replied, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. The Holy Domain is right there and won't run away. It doesn't matter if we go a little later, since I have the rubbing. I have the advantage."

“So many people went in before, but they all died in the end. That means it’s actually very dangerous inside. Without a rubbing, it’s hard to get out once you’re in. So I’m not in a hurry.”

"If I succeed in the martial arts contest to find a husband, I will have the opportunity to directly enter the Saint Realm, and I may not necessarily need to venture into the Saint Realm. So I have made up my mind that if I fail here, I will go into the Saint Realm, and if I succeed, I will not go there for the time being."

Lin Chen nodded, indicating his agreement with the explanation.

Exploring the sacred realm can bring great fortune if successful, but failure could lead to utter ruin or even complete annihilation.

Lin Chen scanned everything, asked about some things he didn't understand, and then walked up to Dugu Feng.

Dugu Feng readily released the seal on the spatial ring and then said, "I can give you everything, and I can even compensate you with a large sum of cultivation resources. As long as you spare my life and let me leave, I can make the most vicious oath of the gods. If I break it, may my soul be scattered to the winds!"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't take your lives for now. Just stay here and rest easy."

Whether it's Nangong Li or Dugu Feng, they are both people with impressive backgrounds. Although the Linglong Pagoda can isolate the outside world, Lin Chen still dares not underestimate the amazing methods of the world's powerful figures.

What unpredictable actions might be triggered if they die?
As long as they are alive, wouldn't it be impossible to trigger it?
Fortunately, most of the cells in the main hall of the Void Pearl left by Immortal Lord Ranhai are still empty, so let them live there quietly.

"Let's stay here for a few hundred or a few thousand years. When we're no longer afraid, we can deal with them as we please—kill them when we want, release them when we want—without worrying about any future troubles." Upon hearing this, Nangong Li and Dugu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They had already resigned themselves to being killed when they fell into the hands of Lin Chen and his men, but now that they knew the other party wouldn't kill them, although they still couldn't escape, there was still a chance to live, wasn't there?

Nangong Li tentatively asked, "Keeping us here is actually pointless. If you were willing to release us, you could get a large ransom. After all, we are all of high status, and the ransom would be substantial..."

Lin Chen answered decisively, "Don't even think about getting out. It's impossible. Safety is my top priority. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of it putting me in danger, I won't do it."

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling utterly disappointed.

Having given up their hopes of leaving safely, Nangong Li and Dugu Feng suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why is it that when Duanmu asked, Ning Hesheng and the others remained silent, only Lin Chen spoke up to ask the question?

Lin Chen obtained all of the two people's belongings and inquired about them one by one. However, he did not hand them over to Ning Hesheng or Duanmu Wen, but instead kept them for himself.

This is not right.

Lin Chen was just a slave of a foreign race. How could he dare to keep so many good things for himself?
Why did Duanmu Wen and the others remain calm and silent, as if they thought everything was normal?
Something's really wrong here!
After Lin Chen finished collecting their spoils, he casually asked, "Where's Zhu Lie? Wasn't he with you?"

Nangong Li replied, "Zhu Lie is a free spirit. What he dislikes most is walking with disciples of so-called prestigious sects like us. In his words, we are an eyesore. After he realized that the two of us were preparing to deal with Ning Hesheng, he left alone."

Lin Chen nodded. It was good that Zhu Lie left. Otherwise, if he had come along, he might have had to arrest and lock him up as well to keep the secret.

Although Lin Chen and Zhu Lie had no connection whatsoever, Lin Chen felt that it was quite remarkable for a free spirit to have come this far.

It's somewhat similar to my own experience.

Seeing that Lin Chen had no more questions, Dugu Feng finally couldn't contain her curiosity and stared at Duanmu Wen and Ning Hesheng: "Senior, Fellow Daoist He, why are you both silent?"

Nangong Li couldn't help but ask, "Miss Duanmu Lan, didn't you say you were an ordinary person? How did you become a saint? Was all of this a setup by you? What is your purpose?"

The Enchantress smiled, her features shifted, her hair grew back, and she instantly returned to her original appearance.

"I am not Duan Mulan, you have mistaken me for someone else."

Nangong Li opened his eyes wide and stared at the human face of the Enchantress Lord, exclaiming in shock, "You are not a Celestial God, you are a Saint of another race!"

Lord Enchantress chuckled and said, "Yes, it's a pity you found out a little too late."

Nangong Li suddenly turned around and looked at Duanmu, asking, "Senior Duanmu, what exactly is going on?"

Duanmu Wen's face was cold and hard as he said in a deep voice, "We are all Lin Chen's subordinates, and we follow his orders."

Duanmu Wen ultimately couldn't bring himself to use the word "slave," which he found humiliating, and instead used the term "subordinate."

Even so, both Nangong Li and Dugu Feng stared wide-eyed, their faces showing as if they had seen a ghost.

With so many people here, how come Lin Chen is the host?
