The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 829: Chapter 829: We Owe Him a Big Favor

After the fox demon woman issued her command, a group of Great Demons was instantly invigorated, attacking with even greater ferocity.

However, the fox demon woman did not join the battle but transformed into a streak of light, chasing after the direction in which everyone had vanished.

Demonic Beasts surrounded them from all sides, while the Human Cultivators gathered into teams, fighting their way out together. In an instant, the sounds of battle rose, with people continuously falling from the sky, creating a scene of extreme carnage.

Kash Lam and the others came together, clearing the way with various magical treasures, while Fierce Fire blazed across the sky. The Demonic Beasts could not withstand it, and the encirclement was forcibly torn open.

The Cultivators rushed out through the gap and then threw out their Flying Boats, each escaping swiftly.

Leading Human figures who had joined in the attack also could not resist and retreated one after another.

The Demon Race pursued them for a while but then gave up, partly because they were hard to catch, and partly because they were still fixated on the treasures in the Tomb of the Demon Emperor. They turned back and flooded into the tomb, starting to search for loot.

Kash Lam and the others flew far away, finally shaking off the pursuing Demonic Beasts, and then they stopped.

After a quick headcount, they found no one was missing.

After all, they were mostly in the Divinity Transformation Realm, and each person possessed several powerful magical treasures, making their combat power extremely formidable. Even if they encountered someone from the Hollow Void Realm, it wasn’t easy to defeat them when they worked together.

”The Demon Emperor Heir has emerged, things have blown up, and now it’s going to turn the world upside down!”

”That slap was terrifying, we almost were done for.”

”If it weren’t for Carson Flores’s shout, we would have really been dead. It’s just strange, why did the Demon Emperor Heir kidnap Carson Flores, and why did he listen to Carson Flores and stop attacking us?”

Lainey Dragon frowned and said, ”Did you all notice that the Demon Emperor Heir didn’t show obvious traits of the Demon Race? Although his body was covered with eerie patterns, I feel he might actually be a human...”

Everyone was immediately shocked.

”The Heart of the Demon Emperor chose a human as its heir?”

”That’s impossible.”

Kenzo Conley from the Demon Sun Sect recalled, ”Although it was very rushed and just a glimpse, he indeed looked more like a human. It’s not impossible. The human body structure is most suited for cultivation, which is why many from the Demon Race eventually transform into humans to advance further in cultivation. The Demon Emperor was once the pinnacle of the Demon Race, and he had already transformed into a human. Choosing a human successor, from a cultivation standpoint, is not wrong.”

”But it’s quite awkward,” Kash Lam scratched his head. ”To command the Demon Race with a human body, it feels quite strange.”

Terry from the Demon Sun Sect said solemnly, ”The Heart of the Demon Emperor is in this heir, and I think the main controller must still be the Heart of the Demon Emperor, not the human’s own thoughts. Simply put, if the Heart of the Demon Emperor and the heir completely merge together, then perhaps he is no longer a human but rather a reborn Demon Emperor in some sense, a true member of the Demon Race.”

Lainey Dragon agreed, ”It should be like this. A towering figure like the Demon Emperor wouldn’t overlook this. To devote his own heart to make a human complete is absolutely impossible. The only explanation is, he has a way to turn this person into a thorough Demon.”

Kash Lam gave a bitter smile, ”Let’s not discuss this Demon Emperor Heir for now, shouldn’t we talk about Carson Flores? He has been captured...”

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions somewhat helpless.

Ty Baker from the Hollow Void Sect gave a wry smile, ”In terms of strength, we are far inferior to the Demon Emperor Heir. Even together we couldn’t resist his single strike. Even if we want to help, we’re powerless.”

”Previously when Carson Flores was attacked, we all gave our best effort, yet it was futile, and we almost lost our own lives,” Terry added, nodding his head. ”However, I think the Demon Emperor Heir has some purpose for capturing Carson Flores, probably won’t kill him. And Master Benson Bernard from Nutwood has already gone after them. His strength is staggering; he should be able to bring him back.”

Holden Simmons from the Jun Mountain sighed, ”Hopefully, no matter what, we owe him a big favor.”

Kenzo Conley from the Demon Sun Sect said, ”Let’s go, we should report this matter to the Great Sects as soon as possible.”

...

Carson Flores was carried by the sinister man, speeding all the way.

Carson Flores was bound by an invisible force, but he wasn’t afraid, and just like that, he looked up at the face that was both strange and familiar.

After running a distance, the sinister man landed on a mountaintop, set Carson Flores down, and then stood staring straight at Carson Flores’s face, with black mist swirling in his eyes and a shifting gaze that fluctuated between deep malevolence and benevolent excitement.

He clenched his fists tightly, his body slightly trembling, as if he was undergoing an intense internal conflict.

Without any words, Carson Flores suddenly understood.

The man before him was his father, Westin Flores, but not entirely; he was likely now more the Demon Emperor Heir. Perhaps, he was being forcibly transformed into someone else by the Heart of the Demon Emperor.

The blackness in Westin Flores’s eyes grew denser until his entire pupils nearly turned completely black.

”No!”

Westin Flores suddenly let out a low roar, clenched his fist, and fiercely smashed it into his chest, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood. He raised his right hand, which now held a dagger, and decisively plunged it toward his heart.
