The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1721: Bring Them In, Figure It Out, Then Kill!

Carson Flores dove straight into the pitch-black depths of the cave, with Daniel Patel hurrying to catch up.

”Young master, be careful, safety first!”

Carson laughed, ”I say, don’t be such a coward, alright? You’re a Golden Immortal after all. Even if you can’t strut around like you own the place, dealing with a few demonic beasts should be a piece of cake, right?”

Daniel reached Carson and complained, ”Young master, don’t be so reckless. If you get hurt or something happens, I won’t be able to explain to the old madam!”

Carson continued to fly downward, answering casually, ”Explain what? She just worries too much. It’s not that easy to get into trouble!”

The two of them kept up their back-and-forth banter, quickly delving deeper into the bottomless abyss.

This giant cave, its formation unknown, appeared to be thousands of years old, exuding a sense of ancient history.

Carson descended several thousand meters until he hit a layer of rock—he had reached the bottom.

Looking up, the formerly immense cave opening now appeared like a well head, providing just a glimpse of the sky above.

The cave turned to the right, and they continued to fly in that direction. After rounding a corner and flying a distance inside, they saw a faint light in the distance.

Carson exclaimed in surprise, ”Huh, there’s light ahead.”

Daniel chimed in, ”Could it be other adventurers? Young master, maybe we should turn back. This kind of situation can easily lead to misunderstandings.”

Carson, knowing full well their every move was under observation, flew forward in a feigned reckless manner while saying, ”I’m just here to take a look. I’m not here to steal their stuff. Even if we run into someone, so what? Are they going to kill me to silence me? Hello, is anyone there?”

Carson passed through the huge cave and burial pit, stopping in front of a faint black light curtain.

”Hey, come over here. There’s a light barrier blocking our way. This must be a barrier, right? A black barrier, that’s very rare.”

Carson gazed at the barrier array in front of him, surprised: ”Why is there a barrier in this cave? Could someone be living here?”

Daniel caught up, took a glance, and realized that beyond this barrier should be the location of the South Region branch of the Heavenly Profound Continent.

Why had no one come out to stop them even though they had flown all the way here?

Clearly, someone was watching from the shadows; why hadn’t they shown themselves?

Did they not fear that the two of them would leave and then broadcast what they’d seen here?

With confusion in his heart, Daniel once again advised, ”This could easily be the territory of some Sect. We’ve come uninvited; it’s easy to cause trouble. Let’s leave while we still can, before anyone comes!”

Carson laughed, ”What Sect would live in such a dark cave? It seems more like the cave mansion of some formidable expert. This must be a protective barrier. Do you think I might be the fated one, meeting a super powerful entity in the cave, who would be astonished by my cultivation talent and beg to take me on as a disciple, finally passing on a supreme cultivation technique and making me a peerless powerhouse?”

Even knowing Carson was acting, Daniel couldn’t help but be amused.

Have you perhaps read too many fantasy novels?

Though the Immortal Domains are vast and full of opportunities, those who can be called super powerful entities are only those above the Great Land Supreme. The Thunder Immortal Realm is merely a Middle Immortal Realm; where would you find a super powerful entity here?

The Thunder Immortal Realm does have some who surpass the Great Land Supreme, but typically, after breaking through the Great Land, they head to the High Immortal Realm. Otherwise, despite having a realm greater than the Great Land, without the massive spiritual energy to support them, they’d perpetually feel stifled, as if their hands and feet were bound and could barely breathe.

”Young master, read fewer fantasy novels in the future. There’s not that much destiny around; let’s hurry up and leave. Being discovered would be catastrophic!”

Carson, however, did not listen. Instead, he extended his hand and slapped the black barrier, as if knocking on a door.

”Hey, is anyone inside?”

...Meanwhile, deep inside the cave.

In a vast hall, hundreds of people were gathered, sitting cross-legged on the ground. In front of them, an elderly white-haired man, with an aura of immortality, sat cross-legged on a high platform, lecturing to the crowd.

”This Reincarnation Sutra is incredibly profound, brought by the Heavenly Alliance Hierarch from the High Immortal Realm. It’s normal if you can’t grasp it all at once. Don’t be discouraged; go back and practice more, contemplate more, and eventually, you’ll gain something.”

”The teaching session ends here. Everyone should go and cultivate more. In the next session, I’ll focus on answering your questions.”

”Dismissed!”

Hundreds of cultivators stood up, respectfully saluted the old man on the platform, and then departed the hall in an orderly manner.

A middle-aged man approached the old man, respectfully saluted, and whispered, ”Two flies have entered the cave entrance...”

The old man remained calm: ”Just deal with them.”

The middle-aged man responded, ”Two men, one old and one young. The young one seems like an aristocratic young master, and the older one seems like a family guard. The young one’s tone is boastful, claiming to possess a great treasure, acting as if he’s fearless...”

”Great treasure?”

The old man raised his eyes, showing a hint of interest: ”Then bring them in first, find out what’s going on before killing them.”

”Understood!”
