The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3637 Your choice doesn't matter, because the result is the same.

"cooperate?"

Lei Yu stared into Lin Chen's eyes and said coldly, "How do you plan to cooperate?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If we join the Earth Dragon Sect and work together to conquer all the surrounding forces, what do you think?"

Lei Yu showed no surprise, instead asking, "The three of you?"

"more than."

Lin Chen summoned the Exquisite Pagoda, and in the blink of an eye, Duanmu Wen and the Enchantress Lord appeared beside him.

"The five of us."

Lei Yu, who had been leaning back in his chair, suddenly straightened up, and his gaze instantly became much more serious.

"Are they all saints?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Not only them, but also me, all five of us."

Lin Chen pointed to An Wenwei beside him: "In terms of strength, he should be at the first-class level. The rest of us are a bit worse, but we're about the same."

Five saints!

Lei Yu's expression grew increasingly serious, and his previous ease had vanished completely.

He knew very well that although the other party was using the guise of cooperation, they were clearly after the Earth Dragon Gate.

If he doesn't agree, they might use force to attack him.

A first-rate saint, along with four other saints, is besieging me, a saint who is barely first-rate. Can I escape alive?

That's very risky!

If there is only one opponent, even if the opponent is top-notch and you can't beat them, you can still leave with ease, and you can easily come back to cause trouble later. The opponent can't do anything to you!
But the other side has five!

Five sages, according to the classification method of other regions, can already be considered to be at the level of the Xuanmen.

Although not as powerful as the Heavenly Sect, they are strong enough to establish their own sect and rule over their own territory. Now they have their eyes on the Earth Dragon Sect.

Lei Yu's mind raced. They clearly had an absolute advantage, yet they talked about cooperation. That meant that although the other party was after the Earth Dragon Gate's territory, they must have a backup plan besides forcibly taking it.

Lei Yu stared at Lin Chen: "You've been hiding it quite well. I didn't even realize it. Fine, just be frank about your purpose. No need to beat around the bush."

Lin Chen smiled sincerely: "I'm not beating around the bush, we really are here to cooperate with Sect Master Lei."

"The surrounding forces are either surging undercurrents or openly vying for power, and a major battle is about to begin, in which all forces will undergo a reshuffling."

"If what was said before is true, then Master Gao is incapable of attacking alone and is not good at defending. He is just stalling for time. Once they have a result, it will be time for Master Gao to step down and give way to a more capable person."

"But if Sect Master Gao is willing to back down now, then we can take the initiative to annex the weaker forces around us, incorporate them, and eventually create a snowball effect, and then deal with the stronger forces one by one."

Lei Yu asked in a deep voice, "How can I back down?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "You definitely won't be able to sit in the position of sect leader, but you can serve as the deputy sect leader, second only to the sect leader. Moreover, after this round of expansion ends, the territory of the Earth Dragon Sect will be many times larger than it is now. Although you are the deputy sect leader, your actual power will be no less than it is now."

Lei Yu did not get angry. It must be said that although the other party was prepared to seize his territory, they also left him a way out. Despite having an absolute advantage, they did not directly take it by force.

"What if I don't agree?" Lin Chen smiled slightly: "There are many forces around the Earth Dragon Gate. Whether we choose to cooperate with Gate Master Lei or other forces, it's the same for us. The only difference is who will be the deputy gate master. Of course, if the other party is weak, then we don't even need a deputy gate master."

“If Sect Master Lei does not agree, perhaps we can fight now and forcibly seize the Earth Dragon Gate, or we can turn around and find another force to fight back later. It will still be a fight, so there is no difference.”

"If Master Lei doesn't have any strong reinforcements, I think this outcome will remain unchanged."

Lei Yu fell silent.

Lin Chen was right. Whether he agreed or not was actually not important to Lin Chen and the others.

Those five saints possess enough strength to deal with me, and if they were to scheme against me, I might not even be able to escape.

What is your purpose?

Lin Chen answered honestly, "Find a foothold and gather resources."

Lei Yu frowned and said, "You are all saints, ordinary cultivation resources are useless to you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Just because we need it doesn't mean we'll use it ourselves."

Seeing that Lei Yu still seemed to be hesitating, Lin Chen persuaded him, "Sect Leader Lei, you are quite strong, which is why we chose you. Although I asked you to give up your position as sect leader, I will still give you a great deal of authority."

"Although I know that even if the territory is smaller, the feeling of being the boss is much better, the situation is already like this. If we don't change, it's only a matter of time before we lose this place. So why not take the initiative to change?"

Lei Yu thought for a moment and finally made a decision: "I can agree to your cooperation request, but before that, I want to see your strength."

Lin Chen was not surprised and smiled slightly: "Since we are going to cooperate, we should at least have some understanding of each other. That's only natural."

Lei Yu's request isn't outrageous; just by talking, who knows if it's true?

If you truly have that ability, then I am willing to step down and give way to a more capable person.

The six people left the main hall and ascended directly into the sky.

Lei Yu summoned a massive, jet-black bell and said in a deep voice, "Please, everyone."

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Everyone, let Sect Master Lei see our strength. Let's not make him step down unwillingly, lest it damage our harmony in the future."

Lin Chen turned to An Wenwei: "Go ahead and do it. Since Sect Master Lei is willing to cooperate, then he is no outsider."

Anwenwei nodded.

Having stayed here for so long, he naturally knew Lei Yu to some extent. Lei Yu wasn't some direct subordinate of the gods; he was just a bandit who ruled over his own territory. There was nothing wrong with revealing his identity as a devourer in front of such a person.

The Sixth District is the territory of the Creator God. The proportion of Devourers in the entire cultivator group was already low. In addition, the Creator God had an accident. Devourers living in other districts with strict rules would easily be labeled as remnants of the Creator God if they were not careful. Therefore, for their own safety, these Devourers all came to the chaotic and disorderly Sixth District.

Under these circumstances, encountering a Devourer in Sector Six is ​​perfectly normal.

The concerns Anwenwei had previously expressed were only likely to arise when facing the forces under the Heavenly God, but at this moment, there was no need to be wary of them at all.

A black sphere of light appeared before Anwenwei's eyes. The sphere seemed to be alive, with countless black rays flashing and leaping.

An Wenwei calmly looked at Lei Yu: "Please!"
