The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3737 My Own Interests Are the Most Important
Young man?

Wearing a mask, is their face obscured?
Zhao Tianjue's expression was subtle as he waved his hand, "Go ahead."

After the messenger left, Zhao Tianjue's gaze fell once again on the jade slip in his hand.

A burly middle-aged man emerged from the rear camp and called out, "Tianjue, what's going on?"

Zhao Tianjue turned around and hesitated slightly: "Someone wants to meet me to discuss some personal matters."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Need any help?"

Zhao Tianjue shook his head and smiled, "It shouldn't be necessary."

"are you going alone?"

The middle-aged man casually tossed him a token: "Contact me if you need any help."

Zhao Tianjue did not refuse the token and smiled, "Thanks."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "There's no need to be so formal between fellow disciples."

Zhao Tianjue watched the middle-aged man's departing figure, his gaze slightly hesitant, but ultimately he didn't speak.

Zhao Tianjue withdrew his gaze, his expression returned to calm, and he stepped out of the camp, heading west.

There was only one sentence in the jade slip.

"If you want to know about Zhao Muran, follow the instructions on the jade slip to come see me."

The sanctuary was closed, and everyone who had entered was thrown out, signifying that the sanctuary had completed its selection of a master.

He had carefully investigated and found that a total of six people had entered the Heavenly God Arena. Three of them had perished before the seal was lifted, leaving only Xi Dongcheng from the Western King's Palace, Zhao Muran from the Black Emperor's Palace, and Lin Chen, the alien boy he had chased and who had finally escaped into the Holy Domain.

Lin Chen's fate is uncertain, but given his alien race identity, he will inevitably face a joint attack from other Celestial Gods geniuses. In other words, he will be the one who dies the fastest.

This was a choice that the Celestial Race didn't even need to consider, not to mention that Zhao Muran, who was determined to hunt down Lin Chen and knew his background, was also involved.

If Zhao Muran is alive, how could Lin Chen not be dead?

In other places, Lin Chen might be able to escape, but in the Holy Domain, where can he run to?

If he doesn't die, who will?

Excluding the alien boy Lin Chen, if the Holy Domain were to choose a master, it would inevitably be between Xi Dongcheng and Zhao Muran.

A few years ago, he suddenly received news that Xi Dongcheng had returned. After some investigation, he finally got Xi Dongcheng's explanation.

Xi Dongcheng did not obtain the inheritance of the Holy Domain. He was besieged by Zhao Muran and others, which caused him to be trapped in the Holy Domain. He only got the chance to escape now.

The answer seems to have become singular.

Zhao Muran really succeeded and became the successor of Chen Zu?
He suddenly received a message on a jade slip, in which the sender claimed to know news about Zhao Muran, which made him suspicious of the sender's identity.

Aside from Xi Dongcheng, Zhao Muran himself only had the alien boy Lin Chen.

Could it be that Lin Chen is not dead?

Zhao Tianjue did not tell the others in the sect about Lin Chen's background. If others knew, even if the plan succeeded, he would still get a share of the credit.
If you don't succeed yourself, that's fine. But if you tell others and they succeed, and you end up being the one who just lent a hand, isn't that like doing someone else's work for free?
The prosperity of the sect is everyone's responsibility.
nonexistent!

My own interests are the most important!
It's certainly hard to accept one's own failure, but it's even more heartbreaking to see others succeed.

Feeling remorseful for Lin Chen and his group's escape last time, Zhao Tianjue spent a fortune to purchase several high-level, consumable talismans.

Anti-Flight Talisman. As long as you carry an anti-flight talisman and activate it at a crucial moment, the talisman's power will radiate in all directions, forming a special barrier over a large area.

This special barrier has no effect on other spells or supernatural powers, but it uniquely affects spatial supernatural powers, making it impossible for people to move through space.

In Zhao Tianjue's view, Lin Chen was only at the level of a sub-saint before. Even if he obtained the inheritance of the Saint Domain, how much strength could he have in just thirty or forty years?
Although he wasn't exactly top-tier, he was still at the peak of first-class strength. Dealing with Lin Chen would be a piece of cake for him.

As long as the other party can't escape, taking him down will be no problem at all.

Because of this confidence, Zhao Tianjue did not tell anyone after receiving the jade slip, and he remained silent even when questioned by Vice Sect Master Liu Xian.

If it's Lin Chen, then this is a great opportunity that came knocking on his door.

Good things should be enjoyed by oneself.

If successful, I might become a master of interstellar leaping, and my status would be greatly elevated. I would no longer have to waste time traveling throughout the Celestial Realm like before.

A small magic array was attached to the jade slip, pointing to a certain target. As long as he injected spiritual power, the array would be activated and guide him there.

Zhao Tianjue traveled all the way, and in the blink of an eye, he had traveled tens of thousands of miles away. It was only when he reached a desolate wilderness that the magic array stopped operating.

Arrived at the destination.

Zhao Tianjue hovered in mid-air, gazing in all directions.

"I have arrived as promised, why haven't you shown up yet?"

The next second, Zhao Tianjue's gaze suddenly locked onto a grove of trees in front of him, from which a figure soared into the sky.

Zhao Tianjue was secretly surprised. He had just scanned the surrounding area for hundreds of miles with his divine sense, but he had not sensed the presence of anyone. However, the other party suddenly appeared the next second.

Did Lin use his Starry Sky Jump to teleport here, or has he been hiding here all along without me noticing?
Zhao Tianjue's eyes locked onto the masked man opposite him. Seeing that familiar figure, a murderous intent surged in Zhao Tianjue's heart.

Lin Chen!

He actually survived!
How did he, a member of a different race, survive among so many geniuses of the Celestial Race?

Because of his prejudice against Lin Chen's identity, he subconsciously assumed that the other party was dead, so he did not continue to investigate Lin Chen. Now, however, the other party is alive and well in front of him.

"Lin Chen?"

Zhao Tianjue sneered, "Don't think I won't recognize you just because you're hiding your face."

Lin Chen had no intention of hiding it from the other party, and said with a smile, "Elder Zhao has good eyesight. It's been a long time. How have you been?"

Zhao Tianjue's cold gaze locked onto his opponent, already prepared to activate the anti-flight talisman he had placed on his body at any moment.

"What do you want to talk to me about by inviting me here?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "There were six competitors for the Holy Domain. Three died and three survived: Xi Dongcheng, Zhao Muran, and me. I'm sure you know this very well, right?"

Zhao Tianjue sneered, "Since this involves Mu Ran, I naturally need to find out more about it. I also know that Xi Dongcheng suddenly returned a few years ago, but he did not obtain the Holy Domain inheritance."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You believe him just because he says so? Is it possible that he's acting, putting on a show for outsiders like you?"

Zhao Tianjue frowned slightly. What Lin Chen said might indeed be true, but he didn't quite agree with it.

"He was trapped in the Holy Domain for decades, yet he still maintained the strength of a Quasi-Saint, that much is certain, isn't it? If he had obtained the inheritance, how could he still be a Quasi-Saint?"
