The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1417: The Only Person in the World Who Cares About Her

On the Eastflow Ancestor’s territory, they dared to abduct Spencer Steele directly. This was a blatant slap in the face to the Eastflow Ancestor, who is a Peak Golden Immortal thoroughly offended by this act.

Knowing such consequences, they still took decisive action. There is only one possibility: someone had informed them in advance of the Eastflow Ancestor’s death.

With the Eastflow Ancestor dead, the authority of Eastflow Sky Cave naturally falls apart. No need to give any more respect to Eastflow Sky Cave, after all, the only formidable force in Eastflow Sky Cave was the Eastflow Ancestor himself. Although there are many disciples, their strength is hardly worth mentioning.

Claire Harrison of Mingxin Sect!

She must have been the only one aware of the pursuit of Spencer Steele and who also appeared at the longevity feast. It is very likely that she and her elder uncle were the ones who informed the Tianhu Sect and abducted Spencer Steele before the rest of us could return.

Carson Flores returned to the main hall and glanced around, but he didn’t find Claire Harrison and her elder uncle anywhere.

On closer recollection, the two had quietly slipped to one side after leaving the island, and afterward, no trace of them was seen.

After a brief contemplation, Carson Flores leaped into the air, his voice crisp and reverberating through the entire main hall.

”Ladies and gentlemen, has anyone seen or knows the whereabouts of people from Tianhu Sect, Mingxin Sect, and others? The people from Tianhu Sect have abducted my maiden...”

Everyone in the main hall focused their attention on Carson Flores, and Eli Roth spoke out loudly: ”Has Tianhu Sect gone mad? To dare to abduct someone from the White Crane Immortal Sect in public?”

Carson Flores explained: ”I rescued Spencer Steele halfway, and those who were after her belonged to the Tianhu Sect, Mingxin Sect, and other sects. She is highly talented, and I was planning to take her as my disciple after returning, to inherit the legacy of Heavenly Sword Peak, but now she has been abducted by the Tianhu Sect...”

The crowd, initially not too concerned upon hearing she was a maiden—an identity usually not given much thought—now changed their perception. Hearing that Spencer Steele was the chosen True Disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak, the gravity of the situation became entirely different.

Kidnapping a True Disciple is a deadly feud!

A white-haired elder stood out from the crowd and cupped his hands: ”Daoist Flores, I have a magical treasure that can locate people, but I need an item that has been in contact with the person’s aura...”

Carson Flores’s eyes lit up as he approached the elder, taking out a volume of Sword Scriptures: ”These past few days, she has been closely studying this volume of Sword Scriptures, would this suffice...?”

”Let’s give it a try!”

The white-haired elder took out a compass-like magical treasure, summoned with his hand, and the Sword Scriptures fell onto the compass. The compass shone brightly, enveloping the Sword Scriptures in its light.

As a streamer of light ran through the Sword Scriptures, the needle on the compass trembled slightly, then pointed steadily and slowly towards the east.

The white-haired elder looked up, smiling: ”Towards the east, it shouldn’t be too far.”

Carson Flores was overjoyed—this magical treasure was really effective!

”Thank you, fellow Daoist. May I borrow this magical treasure?”

The white-haired elder smiled: ”There’s no need to borrow, I shall accompany you and see if I can be of any assistance.”

Eli Roth spoke out loudly: ”I’m going as well.”

Many others spoke up at the same time: ”We will go together!”

Carson Flores knew this was everyone’s way of expressing gratitude for his life-saving actions earlier, now actively offering help to repay the favor. He did not hesitate and cupped his hands: ”Without further ado, thank you!”

With a spell from the white-haired elder falling onto the compass, the magical treasure took off towards the east.

A large group soared into the sky, following closely behind the compass at high speed.

...

In the Nameless Valley, Evangeline Waters of Tianhu Sect looked coldly at Spencer Steele in front of her.

Spencer Steele was drawing a map.

Evangeline Waters didn’t give Spencer Steele any chances, coldly laying out two options.

Either draw the map or she would use the Soul Searching Technique directly.

Spencer Steele unhesitatingly chose to draw the map.

Her drawing skills were excellent, meticulous, comprehensive, and slow.

She was delaying.

Intuition told her that the man in front had no intention of letting her go. After she finished drawing the map, this man would likely immediately use Soul Search to verify its authenticity.

She had no choice.

Her only hope was in the heavens, hoping that Carson Flores would come to her rescue.

These people had quietly taken control of her and carried her away, journeying thousands of miles. In such a barren wilderness, even if Carson Flores realized she was missing, where could he find her?

Although she knew this hope was extremely slim, it was her only hope.

Now, in the entire world, perhaps the only one who cared about her life and death was Carson Flores alone.

She continued to draw, stroke by stroke, occasionally lost in thought as if striving to recollect her memories.

Evangeline Waters just stared coldly. He saw that she was delaying, but what of it?

Even if Carson Flores, a mere Human Immortal, had no power to save her, could he even find this place?

Appeal to the Sect for a mere maiden?

To ignite a sect war?

Is that likely?

No matter how slowly she drew, there would be a time when the drawing was completed. By the time she made the last stroke, her heart was filled with despair.

Evangeline Waters spoke coldly: ”Finished drawing?”

Spencer Steele stared at Evangeline Waters, clenching her fists: ”You said, if I drew the map, you would let me go.”

Evangeline Waters coldly replied: ”How can I be sure you didn’t just draw something random? I must verify it!”
