The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 994: Chapter 994: If It Were You, Would You Refuse?

On the White Jade Platform, a massive bronze pillar, ancient and mysterious formation patterns.

All of this was split in two by a destructive blow that not only did that, but also tore the earth apart, creating a seemingly bottomless canyon.

What kind of power could deliver such a terrifying strike?

”Is the Immortal who breached the Sky-reaching Formation the same one who ordered you to guard this place?”

The white-haired elder shook his head, ”I’m not sure; the Sky-reaching Formation was already like this when we arrived. I don’t know if it was his doing?”

Tanner Bautista frowned and said, ”Aren’t you all curious? This is a passage for Ascension; don’t you want to become Immortals?”

The white-haired elder gave a bitter smile, ”We just follow orders; we don’t have the right to ask questions, and that person doesn’t like us asking too much.”

”You Immortal Slaves sure are loyal!”

The white-haired elder coldly said, ”The Sky-reaching Formation has been destroyed, and the portal between the Barbarian Wilderness Realm and the Immortal Realm has been severed. People from the Barbarian Wilderness can no longer ascend to become Immortals. If we hadn’t agreed to become Immortal Slaves, we would have turned into skeletons long ago; how would we have the chance to stand here and listen to your mockery?”

The white-haired elder paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his words sarcastic, ”You mock me, saying I am a slave to the Immortals, but if you touch your heart and ask yourselves, imagine if an Immortal appears now, offering you two choices: either he kills you or grants you ten thousand years of life, allowing you to become Immortals later, but the price is servitude for ten thousand years. How many of you would refuse?”

Many Hollow Void Practitioners, mocked by the white-haired elder, looked at each other, speechless.

Yes, they mocked others, yet deep down, didn’t they also envy them?

They are people from ten thousand years ago, yet they live well today!

If that Immortal truly keeps his promise, then after guarding this place for ten thousand years, they would be able to ascend to become Immortals. Who here wouldn’t be envious?

They fought desperately into the Valley of Death, wasn’t it to seek an opportunity to become Immortals?

The crowd searched around the White Jade Platform but found nothing special.

Although everyone captured all the details of the formations with Soulmirror Stones, they all knew that this was just the surface; it didn’t mean that copying a formation pattern like drawing a gourd could re-establish the portal between the two realms.

To establish a portal, not to mention anything else, at least the Immortal Realm must agree!

Thinking back, this attack on the Valley of Death resulted in many deaths, a huge loss of Spiritual Treasures and Magic Artifacts, and practically no gain.

Although the secrets of the Valley of Death had been uncovered, no one really got any real benefits because the biggest benefit, that Immortal’s arm, had flown away!

Although they captured a Demi Immortal, they felt it was like a hot potato; if his master comes to advocate for him, who could withstand it?

The crowd, with complex emotions, began to withdraw, heading back to the earlier Cultivator’s Camp.

Many Sect leaders discussed for a while and then dispersed. As for that white-haired elder, he was jointly guarded by those three Tribulation Crossing elders.

They only had three months to live anyway; three months later, they were supposed to undergo Ascension procedures, and without the portal opening in the Barbarian Wilderness, they couldn’t condense the Immortal Spirit Qi, dooming their Ascension to failure.

Failure meant death!

Before Carson Flores left, he discreetly went to see Sophia Roth.

Seeing Carson Flores, Sophia Roth’s eyes were full of laughter.

Carson Flores paid his respects with clasped hands, ”Sect Master Roth, now that I have slain Liam Malone, will Rajevols consider me an enemy until the death?”

Sophia Roth smiled and said, ”Marshall Tate of the Di Yuan Sect might hate you to the core and surely won’t miss the opportunity to deal with you if given the chance. However, since Liam Malone attacked you first, Marshall Tate can’t just come after you openly. After all, your master and your fellow disciples are no pushovers.”

”With Liam Malone gone, Mary Jimenez will naturally become the new child of Rajevols. She was never inferior to Liam Malone, just younger, and her progress in cultivating the Charm Lady Heart Sutra was practically tailor-made for her. Given time, she will certainly surpass Liam Malone.”

”Because of Mary Jimenez, my Xuan Feng Sect naturally considers you one of our own, and since the other two sects have no involvement, they won’t offend you either. So, you only need to be cautious of the Di Yuan Sect’s people.”

”Liam Malone’s father, Dallas Malone, is an elder of the Di Yuan Sect and is in the mid-stage of the void phase. Liam Malone was his only son, and he will certainly not let this go. Be extra cautious daily and avoid giving them the chance to attack you when you’re alone.”

Carson Flores, worried, asked, ”Then might they take their anger out on Mary Jimenez, since everyone knows about my relationship with her?”

Sophia Roth smiled and said, ”When I return, I will meet with the Cave Master to officially confirm Mary Jimenez’s position as the child of Rajevols. With the Cave Master covering her, who in Rajevols would dare attack her? Besides, for the future of my Xuan Feng Sect, I will also ensure her safety, so you don’t have to worry about that...”

Carson Flores breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, ”Thank you, Sect Master Roth. Mary is my wife. If anyone bullies her, no matter who he is, I will take his life!”
