The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3738 Now that you say so, I'm relieved!

Lin Chen laughed at Zhao Tianjue's explanation.

"What remains in the Holy Domain is inheritance, not the spirit of the Great Dao. Even when Ancestor Chen is about to die, he still goes to great lengths to prepare the spirit of the Great Dao for his future successor. Do you think that's possible?"

Uh……

Zhao Tianjue's brows furrowed even more deeply.

What he said makes so much sense.

If it were you who received the inheritance but remained at the level of a Quasi-Saint, would you put on a show after leaving?

Most likely!
After all, no one can say for sure whether a sage might have the idea to secretly kidnap him and forcibly seize the inheritance of the Ancestor Chen.

Zhao Tianjue pondered inwardly, but his expression remained cold and stern: "You say he obtained the inheritance, then what about you and Mu Ran? How could he let you leave alive?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I can tell you the truth, but after this, we'll go our separate ways. Don't cause me any more trouble. Just pretend we never met, okay?"

Zhao Tianjue sneered inwardly, "Since you're here, you're not leaving today."

"Fine, as long as you tell me the truth and tell me Muran's current situation, we'll call it even!"

Lin Chen is acting.

Zhao Tianjue is also acting.

Zhao Tianjue's target was Lin Chen, but he also wanted to know Zhao Muran's current situation.

Lin Chen's target is not only Zhao Tianjue, but also Liu Xian behind Zhao Tianjue. At the same time, he also wants to find out if anyone else knows about his affairs.

If the people in the Black Palace knew about his affairs, he might have to consider other methods. After all, under such circumstances, killing Zhao Tianjue might escalate the situation.

The two continued acting.

Lin Chen accepted Zhao Tianjue's promise without even asking him to swear a blood oath to Heaven.

"Zhao Muran is still alive, but she is trapped in the Holy Domain."

"She has a magic weapon that can create a hidden space where people can hide and be found by outsiders."

Zhao Tianjue's eyes lit up. He naturally recognized this magic weapon; it was the trump card he had prepared for Zhao Muran.

Zhao Tianjue had instructed Zhao Muran that if they encountered great danger, they should hide in the space and wait for an opportunity.

Once the successor of the Holy Domain is confirmed, Zhao Tianjue will approach the other party and, in his capacity as an elder of the Black Emperor Palace, make a deal to exchange Zhao Muran for him.

In the Holy Domain, it's normal for people to fight and kill each other. However, since the Holy Domain's inheritance already has an owner, the other party naturally has no need to kill Zhao Muran. They have to give face to the Black Emperor Palace.

This is also why Zhao Tianjue felt at ease letting Zhao Muran enter the Holy Domain; even if she couldn't win, at least he could guarantee her survival.

Before that, when Xi Dongcheng did not receive the inheritance, he was still hoping.

Three people are definitely dead, including Lin Chen. The only ones who are definitely alive are Xi Dongcheng and Zhao Muran. Does Xi Dongcheng's elimination mean that Zhao Muran is the winner?
However, Lin Chen suddenly appeared today and told Zhao Tianjue that Xi Dongcheng was the victor.

"You know that Xi Dongcheng betrayed the Western Palace, right?"

Zhao Tianjue asked with a puzzled expression, "When did this happen?"

"It happened not long ago."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "In the years since he returned to the sect, he has gained the appreciation of the peak master of the weapon refining peak due to his outstanding performance. The peak master lent him a top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella to study weapon refining techniques, and then he ran away with the top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella." "Do you think he was a core disciple in the Western King's Palace with a promising future? Why would he defect? ​​And why would he take the Heavenly Mystery Umbrella, which can conceal his aura and prevent tracking and location, before he defected?"

Zhao Tianjue's eyes lit up immediately.

"He obtained the inheritance of the Holy Domain, which probably means he got something extraordinary. The sect might have asked him to hand it over, but he was dissatisfied and thus defected. To avoid being tracked down, he even stole the top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella before leaving?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's what I think too."

Zhao Tianjue had initially been somewhat skeptical, but now he suddenly believed it.

So that's the truth!
It wasn't in vain that I acted alongside you for so long!
Now that you've got the information you wanted, you can go die.

Just as Zhao Tianjue was about to make a move, Lin Chen continued, "Now I've told you the whole truth. If you want to save Zhao Muran, you can try contacting the Western King Palace. He's been back for so long, the method of controlling the Holy Domain must have already been handed over to the Western King Palace. After all, the Western King Palace might allow him to keep some techniques and supernatural abilities, but it's impossible for them to leave him with such a complete Holy Domain."

Zhao Tianjue smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

Lin Chen continued, "I have kept my promise, so let's call it even. By the way, do the others in your sect know about my matter? I don't want you to let it go, only for the others in your sect to come after me."

Zhao Tianjue laughed heartily: "Don't worry, only Muran and I know about your affairs. I haven't told anyone else, and no one will bother you except me."

As Zhao Tianjue spoke, he had already secretly activated the anti-flight talisman.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

All I've said is to lower your guard, to make you think I'm really here to make peace, and then to get some real information out of you, right?
You probably think you have the upper hand and are ready to take action against yourself.

"That's good, no one else knows. I don't want anyone to know I possess the spirit of the star chart..."

Lin Chen was cautious in his actions. He said so much, firstly to gather information, and secondly to be on the safe side.

What if the other party runs away?

If the other party really runs away, then his words will have an effect, which can be considered a patch for Lin Chen's actions.

As long as he doesn't believe he has obtained the Holy Domain's inheritance, he won't go to the gods to complain about himself. Instead, he will secretly look for opportunities to deal with me in the hope of obtaining my Star Chart Spirit.

If this effect is achieved, Lin Chen's trip to the celebration will be safe.

If they didn't escape, then there's nothing more to say.

I hope I'll be smarter in my next life.

Zhao Tianjue guessed that the anti-flight talisman had taken effect, and his smile turned evil and sinister: "They won't bother you, because today you will become my prey, and your Star Chart Spirit will be mine!"

Lin Chen's divine sense stirred, and he instantly sensed the anomaly in the surrounding space.

This guy used some means to seal off the surrounding area.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry; instead, he felt relieved.

Since the other party was prepared to take his life, they naturally wouldn't tell anyone else. In other words, Zhao Tianjue was the only one there at that moment.

For the time being, no one can escape this space.

Lin Chen sneered, "What, you want to go back on your word? Let me tell you, since I dared to come to see you, I naturally had my reasons."

Zhao Tianjue laughed loudly: "Prepared? Haha, what preparations do you have? Show them to me!"
