The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3517 Urgent Summoning from the Sect?

Lin Chen spoke frankly because it was the truth.

There are quite a few humans in the Linglong Tower. The only one I'm on slightly better terms with is the Thief Saint Sun Yixiao. The others are either prisoners I rescued or prisoners I captured, so I don't have any real relationship with them.

People's hearts are unfathomable, and Lin Chen's Dao Spirit didn't come from nowhere, so he naturally wouldn't give it away to others casually.

Unaware that their actions had been witnessed and their identities exposed, the group, following Duanmu Wen's advice, embarked on their journey to the Chenzu Sacred Domain. Along this route lay several large cities, where they could inquire about potential opportunities to exchange items.

The spirit of the Great Dao is not like cabbage; you can't just get it whenever you want, let alone exchange it privately—it all depends on luck.

Lin Chen asked the Enchantress if she wanted to go out and move around since the situation in the Celestial Realm was now relatively stable, but she refused.

"Call me again when you can devour a saint. I'm not interested in the affairs of the Celestial Realm..."

Okay, this woman isn't interested in anything except becoming powerful.

Since that's the case, then let's stay in the Linglong Tower.

Abyssal demons originally had no gender; they were a special kind of life form. However, after coming into contact with many races, in addition to devouring and becoming stronger, they began to have an appreciation for beautiful things.

Since being captured and controlled by Lin Chen, and thus effectively breaking away from the Lord of the Abyss, the Enchantress has always appeared in the most perfect human female form. She seems to have accepted herself as a woman and taken this form as her true appearance, abandoning her previous one.

Living in the Linglong Tower, she had plenty of time and came into contact with a lot of knowledge that had nothing to do with being powerful, and began to live like a true human.

She even started growing flowers!

Lin Chen was quite pleasantly surprised to see the changes in the Enchantress Lord.

Although people's hearts are hard to fathom, if the Enchantress had a choice, she would definitely prefer to be free, but being controlled by Lin Chen doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Although Lin Chen controlled the life of the Enchantress Lord, he did not make any excessive demands on her. She stayed quite happily, and her original hostility towards Lin Chen gradually faded. Slowly, they began to feel like teammates.

In the first major city, the three went to the black market, but found no information about the Great Dao Spirits of the metal or dark attributes.

move on.

That day, the three of them were on the road when Lin Chen suddenly stopped.

Duanmu Wen and Ning Hesheng stopped and turned to ask Lin Chen, "What's wrong?"

Lin Chen's face showed a strange expression: "The Qiyun Sect is contacting me..."

Ning Hesheng frowned: "Is there something that requires your Starry Sky Jump?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Maybe, but never mind him."

Ning Hesheng stared at Lin Chen: "Aren't you going back?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Since we're already out, why go back? The most important thing right now is to break through to Sainthood. Nothing else matters to me, or even to you." Ning Hesheng nodded readily: "That's true, then we won't go back."

Lin Chen ignored the message from the Qiyun Sect and the three continued on their way. After a while, Ning Hesheng stopped again.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Ning Hesheng's subtle expression: "What's wrong?"

Ning Hesheng took out a piece of jade from below his neck; the jade was emitting a red glow.

“Each of our core disciples will have a pair of jade tokens. One token is on our person and the other is within the sect. The two jade tokens are connected. When one jade token breaks, the other jade token will light up as a warning.”

"If we encounter danger while traveling and the twin jades break, we can ask the sect's experts for help. This is usually used in situations such as exploring secret realms. However, if the jade stored in the sect breaks, it means that a major change has occurred in the sect, and we need to rush back immediately."

"The twin jades on our bodies are broken, which can be interpreted as a distress call. The sect's jade pendant is broken, which can be interpreted as an urgent summons. The sect has a rule that upon receiving this order, we must return immediately; otherwise, it will be considered a violation of the sect's rules."

Ning Hesheng looked up, frowning. "I guess they sent a message to you through a token, but you didn't respond, so they sent me back this way. And if I go back, I'll definitely have to take you with me..."

After a moment's thought, Lin Chen calmly asked, "Is there anyone in the Qiyun Sect that you care about particularly?"

Ning Hesheng shook his head: "I am all alone, with no ties or worries."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "In that case, let's not go back. What do you think?"

Ning Hesheng nodded: "You're in charge."

Although Ning Hesheng's life was in Lin Chen's hands and he could not resist any of Lin Chen's orders, Lin Chen still explained to him, "The Qiyun Sect urgently summoned us back, there must be something going on, and it certainly won't be anything good."

"Perhaps Zhou Yunfei's affair has been exposed, increasing suspicion on us, or perhaps there are other important missions. In any case, in their eyes, you are just a disciple, someone who controls me, a slave, and I am just a slave. So whatever they want to do, it will definitely not benefit you or me."

"With our current strength, if we go back, we will be in a situation where we are dominated and unable to resist. So we can't go back. We should wait until we complete the exchange, explore the Chenzu Sacred Domain, and then go into seclusion to break through our cultivation level. After that, we can go back without fear."

“If you and I both become saints, along with Mei Shi and Duanmu Wen, we will have four saints. Even if the three saints of Qiyun Sect come to our defense, we will have nothing to fear. If you have no ties, we don’t even need to go back. We can go anywhere in the world.”

Ning Hesheng's gaze was subtle: "You don't need to explain it like that."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "We'll be fighting side by side in the future, so if we can get along well, why should we be full of hatred? Wouldn't it be better to be happy?"

Ning Hesheng nodded: "I understand. Don't worry about them. Let's move forward. Even if we go back later and don't become saints, I can say that I was unable to leave a certain secret realm, and they won't be able to verify it."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Alright, let's continue."

As Duanmu Wen listened to Lin Chen and Ning Hesheng's conversation, his gaze toward Lin Chen became more subtle.

Lin Chen held their lives in his hands, yet he did not act like a master or insult them in any way. Instead, he treated them like partners.

As a saint, the Enchantress was first controlled by Lin Chen. Judging from her appearance, she seemed content with the status quo and showed no signs of dissatisfaction or rebellion. Perhaps that is why?
