The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2023: Chapter 2023: Run! Only by Staying Alive Is There Hope!

”Roar!”

In the cloudless sky, a thunderous dragon roar suddenly resounded, and the immense Dragon Might covered the sky, pressing down with overwhelming force.

All the demonic beasts in the White Cold Mountains felt as if struck by lightning, the weaker ones had their hearts abruptly burst and died, while the stronger ones lay on the ground, trembling with fear.

Nine majestic and imposing Azure Dragons pulled a Star Domain Flying Boat as massive as a Celestial Bastion forward smoothly. Behind the Star Domain Flying Boat was a vast crowd, resembling a silent army, following alongside.

All these people were Immortals, originally of prestigious status, yet here they were like slaves, without status, without dignity.

Many Immortals followed the Star Domain Flying Boat, but their attitudes varied.

Some bore cold and hard expressions, silent and speechless, with angry glimmers in their eyes, while others smiled with anticipation. However, the majority of the Immortals remained calm, their expressions revealing neither joy nor anger.

Aiden Roth was among the angry ones. His master, the Sect Master of the Ghost King Tomb, was incinerated in both body and soul by Sergio Wilkins with a flick of his finger, merely hesitating for a few seconds after Sergio proposed surrender.

The Sect Master of the Ghost King Tomb, one of the Top Ten Immortal Sects, was killed with as much ease as swatting a fly.

The Ghost King Tomb was bombarded by the cannons from the Star Domain Flying Boat, breaking the Mountain Protection Array. The Ghost King Tomb was flooded with bloodshed. Though filled with internal conflict and majority selfishness, everyone at the Ghost King Tomb couldn’t help but feel chilled and bitterly indignant at this moment.

Powerless to resist, all from the Ghost King Tomb fled in all directions. Aiden was among those trying to escape, but unfortunately, he couldn’t escape and was captured.

All surviving Immortals of the Ghost King Tomb were forcibly conscripted, compelled to follow the Star Domain Flying Boat, serving as battle servants for the Three Saints Sect, becoming the vanguard and cannon fodder for attacking other sects.

Aiden wasn’t afraid of battle, but he felt stifled and furious!

After all, the Ghost King Tomb was one of the top powers in this Immortal Domain, quite prestigious, but now beaten like a dog, becoming cannon fodder, and losing all dignity.

In Immortal Cultivation, strength is revered, and the weak are preyed upon; this is ordinary. Aiden could accept being weak and enslaved, yet he was still very angry.

His master was killed with as much ease as squashing a chicken!

No, killing a chicken might at least struggle a bit; it was akin to casually crushing an ant, silently and without resistance.

He gazed at the enormous flying boat ahead, resembling an imposing mountain, with irrepressible anger and killing intent in his eyes.

He wanted to storm the flying boat, to trample that arrogant youth under his feet.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

Great Land Sovereign!

That terrifying existence akin to a deity for everyone in the Thunder Immortal Realm.

”Face reality. Beyond Great Land, we can’t provoke.”

Harold James, the elder of the Ghost King Tomb, looked at him and sighed quietly, advising softly, ”They chose us, the Ghost King Tomb, as an example purely out of bad luck, for we were right on their path. They used us to kill the chicken to scare the monkey...”

Aiden gritted his teeth. Yes, the Ghost King Tomb was that chicken to be killed, and his master the head of the chicken, destined to be severed.

Unless his master had kowtowed at first sight, without uttering a word, he would certainly have met the same fate.

His master harbored no real intention of submission, after all, everyone knew the Ghost King Tomb couldn’t possibly withstand the Three Saints Sect or the Great Land Sovereign. Perhaps he held back habitually, wanting to bargain and secure better terms for the Ghost King Tomb.

He merely wanted to negotiate a bit, to see if a better result could be achieved.

In the end, he was gone.

Harold James sighed, ”The Three Saints Sect’s takeover of the Thunder Immortal Realm is set in stone. I know how painful the Sect Master’s death is for you, but no matter what, keep your emotions within, focus on cultivation. If one day you reach beyond Great Land, there’s still a chance for revenge on his behalf.”

”Now, living is the most important. Don’t think too much. Look at those people, cheerfully without the slightest anger of being conquered, but with the flattery excitement of serving a grand lord. If you display such anger, it might cause trouble.”

Harold James paused and lowered his voice, ”No chance now. If there’s a chance to fight, just run. Don’t worry about others. Escape to another Immortal Domain, and cultivate diligently.”

Aiden turned to Harold James and whispered, ”They impose collective punishment, if someone runs, others in the sect will also be punished...”

Harold James smiled bitterly, ”Others are also waiting for a chance. Do you think if there’s a real opportunity, they won’t run? Are you willing to be left behind as a scapegoat?”

Aiden was silent for a few seconds, his gaze firming up.

”Alright!”

Harold James whispered, ”The situation is set, no one dares to challenge, and there’s no chance. Perhaps only in a battle with the Celestial Palace will be the final opportunity, seize it then...”

Suddenly, Harold James stopped because he saw Aiden looking ahead, eyes filled with an incredulous joy.

Harold James turned and saw a young man looking back at Aiden with a smiling, carefree demeanor, sharply contrasting with those around him.
