The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3561 You just gave it to me like that? So carefree?
Chen Zu glanced at the man in white: "What do you plan to do with him?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We might kill them, or we might subdue them. We'll see how things go."

Chen Zu asked, "What's the difference?"

Lin Chen explained, "If I were already a saint when I left the Holy Domain, there wouldn't be many people in the world who could stop me unless they were deliberately plotting against me."

"As long as I am capable of protecting myself, I can spare his life. Although I do not know his identity, the fact that he can use so many saintly methods suggests that he comes from a powerful sect and holds a high position within it. He should still be of value."

"If I cannot become a saint before leaving, then I cannot let even the slightest word of it leak out. I will kill him or imprison him, so that he has no chance to reveal my information to the sect or the outside world."

Lin Chen glanced at the white-robed man slumped on the ground: "Although he looks like he's afraid of death right now, if I'm not strong enough and I've received your inheritance, senior, then it's hard to guarantee that he won't try to take a big gamble."

"All he needs to do is reveal my information to the sect, and the sect will set an ambush to capture me. Once they successfully capture me, he will be alive, and he will also make a great contribution. He might even indirectly obtain the inheritance of a senior. That would be a huge profit."

Chen Zu stroked his beard and smiled as he replied, "But if he knew that the probability of catching you was too low, and that the probability of his death was 100% once he leaked the secret, then he would be extremely cautious about informing you, unless he was not afraid of death and was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the sect."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's exactly right."

Chen Zu's gaze fell on Lin Chen, his eyes revealing satisfaction: "Come with me."

A portal of light appeared in front of Chen Zu. Chen Zu stepped into it and his figure disappeared.

Lin Chen leaped up, following closely behind Chen Zu, and stepped into the gate of light. As for the white-robed man slumped on the ground, Lin Chen didn't even bother with him.

Lin Chen took everything from the man in white, and his powers were sealed, so anyone could easily kill him.

Before the Sanctuary is opened, no one can escape.

Zhao Muran, who was hiding in the shadows, was the same.

Stepping through the portal, Lin Chen appeared in a picturesque place with clear waters and lush mountains. Beside a tranquil lake stood a small house made of rocks, each rock shape identical, creating a unique aesthetic when stacked together.

Lin Chen looked around for a moment and casually asked, "Senior, have you been living in seclusion here all along?"

Chen Zu calmly replied, "This is my grave."

Lin Chen was slightly startled and turned to look at Chen Zu.

Chen Zu pointed to the stone house: "My body is inside."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that even if a peak expert like Chen Zu perished, his body would remain immortal for eternity.

If the body is stored in a stone house, then isn't that stone house a tomb?
Chen Zu led Lin Chen into the house, where Lin Chen found it to be very empty, with no tables, chairs, or any signs of human habitation.

The empty house... truly resembled a tomb.

Following Chen Zu into the bedroom, there was a stone bed where Chen Zu's physical body lay quietly. Although an unknown amount of time had passed since his death, his body remained as it had been in life, without the slightest damage.

Ancestor Chen raised his hand, and the spatial ring on his finger on the stone bed flew up, then floated towards Lin Chen, and finally hovered in front of Lin Chen.

"Take it, all my things are in there."

Lin Chen reached out and grasped the spatial ring, his eyes wide with surprise.

The legacy of the Ancestor Chen was just handed over to him like this?
Doesn't it require any ceremony or explanation? That's too carefree.

Seeing Lin Chen's surprised expression, Chen Zu's face broke into a mocking smile.

"What, do you think it's too easy?"

Lin Chen nodded frankly: "Yes, it feels a bit unreal. I thought there would always be some procedures or explanations."

Chen Zu laughed and said, "Since we've already chosen you, no matter what procedures or explanations we go through, in the end these things will still be given to you, so why bother?"

"Why should I, someone who should have long since vanished from this world, bother trying to make a name for myself here? Finding a successor I'm satisfied with is enough. As for what you want to do in the future, that's your business, and I can't interfere with it."

After a pause, Chen Zu chuckled and said, "Of course, you could also put it another way. Your identity as a member of another race means that the path you take is different from that of other celestial races. As for what I think you should do, you will naturally do it as long as you keep going."

"If you achieve your goal, my wish will naturally be fulfilled as well. If you fail, then everything will be in vain, so why should I waste my breath at this moment?"

Lin Chen had already considered and anticipated Chen Zu's mindset, and replied, "Since you lost the battle for the Earth Attribute Godhood back then, if the person who harmed you is still alive, then he must be the current Earth God or a trusted subordinate of the Earth God."

"Although I have the five elements spiritual root, if nothing unexpected happens, earth attribute divine power will become my strongest combat power. I want to become a god, so the earth god is my goal. This is why the senior said that if I walk this path, the senior's wish will be fulfilled."

Chen Zu laughed and said, "It's so convenient to talk to smart people. Everything you want is in there. Study it yourself. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. But you only have three years."

Lin Chen quickly asked, "Why three years?"

With his hands behind his back, Chen Zu laughed freely: "I don't want my unique skills to be buried in the mud, but I also don't want them to fall into the hands of some mediocre people, which would ruin my lifelong reputation. I paid a huge price to finally leave behind a wisp of my spirit."

"After the Holy Domain was formed, it had its own rules and did not need my care. Moreover, I could not do anything in my damaged state. So I have been sleeping for most of the time. I will wake up once every ten thousand years to check on the situation of the Holy Domain."

"The Holy Realm has appeared. Since someone broke in, I have also awakened from my slumber and have been silently watching you pass through the trials, selecting my chosen successor."

"Many alien races have entered the Holy Domain, but they are all used as cannon fodder. Before I saw you, I never thought of choosing an alien successor."

“You are different from them. You are stronger, more ambitious, and more courageous than them. When I first seriously considered whether to choose you, I found that choosing you was much more suitable than choosing a Celestial Clan member as my successor. At least your path and my wishes are highly aligned.”

"Every day I exist consumes my already limited life force. I can only sustain this state for a maximum of three more years. After three years, I will return to dust. At that time, no one will be there to guide you anymore, and you will have to walk the road ahead alone. So you must hurry..."
