The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3636 How about we cooperate?
"That's a good idea."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The entire Yingyue Mountain Range and the surrounding area are all within the sphere of influence of the Earth Dragon Sect. The Yingyue Mountain Range is vast and can produce not only a large amount of medicinal herbs and minerals, but also countless demonic beasts, which perfectly meets our current needs."

"I've heard that there's only one Sage in the entire Earth Dragon Gate, so how about we start from there?"

An Wenwei smiled and said, "Even if Mr. Lin hadn't said it, I would have made the same suggestion."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Alright, let's go out first, find out more details, and then decide how to proceed. We must strike with our full force."

After leaving the Linglong Tower, Lin Chen glanced around and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be taken care of?"

An Wenwei's gaze remained silent: "The Yingyue Sect is long gone. For me, this place is just a memory sealed for ten thousand years. There is nothing else here."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Who destroyed the Reflecting Moon Sect back then? Did they ever think of revenge?"

Anwenwei replied, "None of that matters now. What matters is helping you regain your divine status. If there comes a day in the future when you want to take revenge, it will be up to you to decide."

"Row!"

Lin Chen didn't waste any more words: "In that case, let's go!"

The three left the ruins of the Moon Reflection Sect and the Moon Reflection Mountain Range, and reappeared in a nearby city.

The Earth Dragon Gate is the ruler here, and it's not hard to find out about its situation. After some inquiries, Lin Chen gained a general understanding of the Earth Dragon Gate's situation.

Lei Yu, the leader of the Earth Dragon Sect, was quite powerful. Although other saints tried to seize his territory or take a share of the spoils, they were all driven away by him.

When your strength reaches the level of a saint, if you can't kill or completely crush your opponent, then no one can possibly back down.

Take Lei Yu for example. He occupies such a large territory and enjoys the thrill of being the boss. Why would he easily give up his territory?
If you can easily defeat him, he will definitely not hesitate to do so; but if you are not strong enough, he will definitely ignore you.

Judging from the information I've gathered, Lei Yu's strength is quite good; he should be at least at the top-tier level.

If An Wenwei goes all out, he should be able to defeat Lei Yu, but if An Wenwei hides his identity and doesn't reveal his identity as a Devourer follower, then it's hard to say.

However, Lin Chen's side doesn't just have An Wenwei; there are also four saints: Lin Chen, Ning Hesheng, Duanmu Wen, and Mei Shi. With An Wenwei on the team, dealing with Lei Yu would be no problem at all.

After making their decision, the group went directly to the Earth Dragon Gate.

Talk first, then fight.

If Lei Yu is willing to hand over the Earth Dragon Gate, Lin Chen can retain his position as deputy sect leader. But if he is not willing, then the only option is to take it by force.

Don't think that forcibly taking things is unreasonable; such things are very common in the entire Sixth District.

Sharks eat big fish, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. The greater one's strength, the greater the benefits one reaps.

Even under the influence of the Earth Dragon Gate, the management of major cities and other resource and mineral resources were all obtained through their own strength. It's just that they have Lei Yu above them.

The headquarters of the Earth Dragon Gate is located in a beautiful, huge valley. Lin Chen led Ning Hesheng and An Wenwei to the entrance of the Earth Dragon Gate.

"Who is coming?"

The disciples standing at the entrance of the Earth Dragon Gate Valley stared warily at Lin Chen and his companions, sizing them up and down.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We are here to visit Sect Master Lei. Please inform him of our presence." After a pause, Lin Chen added, "Our titles are not important, but what we have to discuss concerns the life and death of the entire Earth Dragon Sect."

The disciples of the mountain gate changed their expressions slightly. Not daring to delay, they turned around and cast a spell. The spell shot into the depths of the valley like an arrow of light.

Before long, a beam of light flew from afar and landed in the hands of a disciple of the mountain gate.

After reading the message sent through the spiritual incantation, the disciple waved his hand and said, "Please, the sect leader is waiting for the three of you in the main hall of the sect."

The three followed the disciple into the valley. Looking around, they saw numerous buildings standing in the valley, making it seem like a valley city.

In the center of the valley, in a grand hall, Lei Yu sat on a high seat, looking at the three people who walked in. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as a sword, scrutinizing the three without restraint.

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting: "Lin Chen, a rogue cultivator, greets Sect Master Lei."

"Rogue cultivator?"

Lei Yu's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he frowned, because in his opinion, this person had the strength of a sub-saint.

The two people next to Lin Chen, however, were emanating strong energy, suggesting they were saints.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

Lin Chen swaggered into his seat, but Ning Hesheng and An Wenwei did not sit down. Instead, they stood behind Lin Chen's chair, one on each side, like bodyguards.

This scene, witnessed by Lei Yu, immediately made him freeze in shock.

"I don't know what brings you all here. You start by talking about the life and death of our Longmen. Isn't that a bit alarmist?"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "No, no, no, it's absolutely not an exaggeration."

Lei Yu said coldly, "Oh, then please tell me, I'm all ears."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Earth Dragon Gate has maintained its current territory for a long time. During this time, many people have been eyeing this land and have even tried to seize it many times. It is only because the Thunder Gate Master is strong that the Earth Dragon Gate has been able to keep its territory intact."

"Currently, many forces around the Earth Dragon Gate are stirring up trouble, and a new struggle is about to begin. Does Gate Master Lei have the confidence to protect the Earth Dragon Gate's territory in this turmoil?"

Lei Yu squinted and said, "Could it be that you are agents of some power, trying to persuade me to surrender to you?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Sect Leader Lei, you misunderstand. As I just said, we are independent cultivators, meaning we are not affiliated with any sect or faction, and we are definitely not lobbyists for any organization."

Lei Yu raised his head, staring intently at Lin Chen: "It is indeed true that the surrounding forces are fighting each other, and I am also somewhat worried. Do you perhaps have a way to resolve this?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Although Sect Master Lei is powerful, he is ultimately just one person. As the saying goes, one arm cannot support a building. If things continue like this, once the surrounding forces have fought each other out and consolidated their power, their strength will inevitably far surpass that of the Earth Dragon Sect. By then, Sect Master Lei will probably be powerless to reverse the situation. He will have no choice but to either retreat or surrender."

"The predicament of Sect Master Lei is that he is all alone. In the current situation, he can barely maintain his position, but he is powerless to attack and unable to expand his influence. He can only stay here and wait for his inevitable fate. Am I right?"

Lei Yu frowned deeply: "So what exactly are you trying to say? Are you planning to help me?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, we're here to discuss cooperation."
