The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2137: Chapter 2137: My Soldiers, Awaken!

”I’ll deal with you later!”

Everyone remained silent. James Yue didn’t dare to make a move, afraid of angering the powerful.

Carson Flores ignored James Yue; after all, he wasn’t considered a threatening opponent.

He was watching the Heaven One Sect.

In the ranks of Heaven One Sect, Lord Sosa sat cross-legged at the head and tail of the team, his expression solemn and unmoving like a mountain.

Not far behind Heaven One Sect was River Fulton of the Realm of the Mystic Elephant from the Three Saints Sect, also sitting cross-legged. His gaze fell on Lord Sosa in front of him, his expression somewhat complicated, as if he wanted to say something to Lord Sosa but did not dare to.

The group was neatly assembled indeed.

Under the watchful eyes, with the disparity in strength, Carson Flores couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to, he could only watch the situation unfold.

Suddenly, a deep and authoritative voice resounded throughout the space, ”After sleeping for so many years, it’s unimaginable that this world has degraded into a secret realm for others to explore and plunder opportunities...”

Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.

It’s here!

The monk Owen from the Suspended Temple raised one hand in prayer, chanting the Buddhist name: ”Amitabha, since Fellow Daoist has awakened, why not come out and meet us?”

”No need to hurry, now that I have awakened, we have plenty of time.”

The majestic voice was calm and composed, carrying an air of complete control. With his words, numerous human figures suddenly appeared in the air, falling down with a thump.

The crowd immediately tensed up, wary and on guard, yet froze in surprise when they looked clearly.

The figures appearing in the air were all adventurers who had entered this secret realm. They looked dazed, like puppets, falling straight down from the air onto the ground.

Carson Flores scanned through the crowd and spotted a rather familiar face.

Brodie Fleming!

Brodie Fleming no longer had his previous imposing appearance. Like a wooden sculpture, his expression was blank, his eyes lifeless, appearing foolish and silly.

Judith Hamilton asked in astonishment, ”What happened to them?”

”They’ve had their evidence searched and souls shattered.”

Ben Singleton spoke calmly: ”Someone directly read their soul memories. It’s a gruesome torture they couldn’t bear, shattering their souls. Those a bit luckier might retain a trace of spiritual wisdom; the less fortunate ones are completely mindless, their bodies reduced to mere shells!”

Carson Flores looked at Ben Singleton and asked in a low voice, ”Was that voice just now Emperor Howard?”

Ben Singleton’s eyes showed a complicated expression, as if both angry and fearful: ”Yes.”

Carson and others were shocked; Mack Conley and others cast puzzled looks at Ben Singleton.

Ben Singleton’s current demeanor was entirely different from before; even those who hadn’t noticed anything before began to feel something was off.

”Fellow Daoist Ben, how can you be so certain?”

Ben Singleton smiled slightly: ”Since this is Emperor Howard’s tomb, in this tomb, who else would speak with such authority but him?”

Although everyone felt Ben Singleton’s answer didn’t seem direct enough, as he was too certain, they couldn’t find any flaw.

Carson Flores was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a low voice: ”Emperor Howard is searching these people’s memories, obviously to learn about our backgrounds. What will he do to us next? What should we do?”

Ben Singleton shook his head: ”How would I know, but it probably won’t be anything good. Let’s see how it unfolds.”

The sudden appearance of these helpless individuals instantly made the atmosphere in the hall tense.

Monk Xuan Nan asked: ”What did you do to them?”

The authoritative voice echoed throughout the hall: ”I’ve slept for too long and have no idea of the current world. Naturally, I need to see it with my own eyes... Although this world is destroyed, it is now connected to the God Immortal Domain, which is not bad. Endless immortal domains, quite good, haha, my long wait was not in vain!”

Listening to this person’s words, a bit of terror slowly crept into everyone’s hearts.

Though he never mentioned what to do with everyone, an overwhelming sense of command in his voice was evident, clearly disregarding them completely.

Lord Sosa stood up, his expression serious: ”Are you Tatum Howard?”

”Yes!”

Tatum Howard’s voice reverberated through the entire space, shaking the heart: ”I thought I would sleep forever. After countless years, I finally awakened!”

Everyone’s expressions became extremely serious. Previously, the Five Directions Immortal Sect discovered a suspected tomb of the Unfettered Dragon King, suffering severe losses without even catching a glimpse of the figure.

Now they unexpectedly encountered something even stronger than the Unfettered Dragon King, Tatum Howard, the former dominator of this world!

Lord Sosa pondered for a few seconds before softly saying: ”Congratulations on awakening, Fellow Daoist Qin. I wonder, what purpose do you have for gathering us all here?”

Tatum Howard laughed heartily: ”As an emperor, how could I not have soldiers and generals? I give you an opportunity: offer your True Soul, submit to me, obey me. Otherwise, I’ll take your bodies; after all, my numerous generals and soldiers are still waiting!”

Tatum Howard’s voice paused, then suddenly became stirringly impassioned, resounding through the firmament: ”My soldiers, awaken!”
