The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2171: Chapter 2171: This Is the Best Path for the Three Saints Sect!

Mac Browning’s vision suddenly went dark, and the scenery before him abruptly shifted.

It felt as if he stood at the bottom of an abyss, looking up toward the sky, only able to see a small patch of sky like the tiny view one might see from inside a deep well.

Where is this place?

This abyss, within the Gutta...

Mac Browning was startled; could it be that the Gutta contained a complete world of its own?

This Gutta is truly something!

Mac was just about to transform into a stream of light and soar towards the sky when he suddenly had a realization, abruptly turning to look behind him.

In the deeper recesses of the abyss, it seemed that something massive and black was stirring, slowly edging closer to Mac Browning, accompanied by a sudden surge of terrifying aura.

Demonic Beasts!

Mac was taken aback—River Fulton hadn’t mentioned any demonic beasts, hadn’t he spoken of some opportunity?

What’s going on?

Could the entry point be random, with what he had seen being different from what Mac had encountered?

Mac wasn’t particularly fearful; after all, he was in the Realm of the Mystic Elephant. Even if there were demonic beasts, could they be stronger than him?

Mac thought this to himself, casually casting an Illumination Technique.

Within the abyss, it was as if a small sun had risen, instantly brightening everything, illuminating the abyss and the colossal creature approaching him.

A towering Black Dragon’s head, as imposing as a mountain, with an overwhelming presence, stared intently at him with chilling eyes.

Gutta?

Black Dragon?

A sudden flash across Mac’s mind—wasn’t this the Gutta that Carson Flores possessed?

River Fulton had said it was different, hadn’t he?

Hadn’t he just entered? So why hadn’t he encountered this Black Dragon?

What’s going on?

”Fool!”

The Dark Ancestral Dragon coldly rebuked, gazing with a sneer at the stunned and baffled Mac Browning, ”Don’t you realize you’ve been sold out?”

Sold out?

Mac, no fool, was immediately alerted by the Dark Ancestral Dragon’s reminder.

Thinking of River’s sudden proactive proposition to conquer the Thunder Immortal Realm to force Carson out, with the plan to team up so as not to be taken advantage of while alone...

The Gutta suddenly appearing in the wilderness...

Actively entering the Gutta, then enticing him with words to enter too...

If he could come and go freely in the Gutta and wasn’t attacked by the Black Dragon, then...he and Carson must be in cahoots!

He betrayed me!

This was all a trap set by Carson and River Fulton!

Mac felt an icy chill running through him.

He knew very well that since he had been deceived into the Gutta, there must already be a foolproof trap within; escape seemed unlikely.

Although facing despair, Mac wouldn’t sit still and await his doom.

Wasn’t this Black Dragon supposed to be in the Triple Realm?

I’m no weaker than it; even adding River into the mix, though not able to win, escaping isn’t yet impossible!

As Mac schemed internally, the Dark Ancestral Dragon already swung its massive Dragon Claw at him, muttering, ”Brat, always causing trouble for me.”

Though he did promise to help him deal with Armani Warren, he hadn’t agreed to fight others. Yet this was how he tricked people into the tower, right before him.

Since they’re here, you tell me if you’re helping or not.

Even if the Dark Ancestral Dragon was cunning and cruel, this minor effort couldn’t be refused. After all, following Carson had its huge perks, with more benefits reliant on Carson’s help in future.

Mac summoned his magical treasure and charged towards the Dragon Claw.

”Boom!”

Mac’s magical treasure was swept aside like a toy; he too flew back like a ragdoll, spraying a mouthful of blood, unsure how many bones were broken.

With a crash, his body smashed into the abyss wall, creating a huge hole.

Mac’s body felt shattered; he widened his eyes in horror at the monstrous behemoth: ”You’re not in the Realm of the Mystic Elephant!”

The Dark Ancestral Dragon sneered: ”Realm of the Mystic Elephant, that was before; now I’ve recovered to Fifth Level Great Perfection. Know your place and surrender quickly, else I don’t mind having a bite, your power though insignificant, could be of some use.”

Fifth Level Great Perfection?

Mac was dumbfounded, utterly astonished.

From Triple Realm just two or three years ago to Fifth Level Great Perfection now?

It’s over!

He shouted in defiance: ”River Fulton!”

River’s figure appeared in the sky, standing beside Sergio Wilkins.

River touched his nose, with a wry smile: ”Old Mac, circumstances forced my hand, please understand.”

Mac gritted his teeth: ”Why did you conspire with Carson and betray the Sect?”

River replied plainly: ”We fell into Carson’s hands in the Heavenly River Secret Realm; it was surrender or die. They were unwilling for Nirvana Rebirth, risking a realm plummet; I wasn’t willing either, were you?”

Mac looked at him in shock: ”You all?”

River briefly recapped the Heavenly River Secret Realm events: ”Old Mac, you see, the Black Dragon has regained Fifth Level Great Perfection power, no weaker than the Sect Master. Do you think Three Saints Sect still stands a chance?”

Mac fell silent.

The truth was glaringly obvious despite the shocking revelations.

The Three Saints Sect had no hope left.

Before him lay two paths: perish with the Three Saints Sect or surrender to Carson.

After a moment of silence, Mac coldly asked, ”What does Carson want, as it doesn’t seem merely to stop us from attacking the Thunder Immortal Realm...”

”Exactly, he desires for Three Saints Sect to serve as the Thunder Immortal Realm’s barrier. Not only to shield it from our onslaught, but to protect it from other forces, this is his ultimate aim.”

Indeed!

Mac retorted coldly: ”Overthrow the Sect Master, control us, and he becomes the new Sect Master.”

River rubbed his nose, with a subtle expression: ”He won’t linger here long; once Three Saints Sect matters are handled, he’ll move to Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, leaving the sect under our management...”

Mac, having known River too long, guessed at once from his expression: ”He wants you to be the new Sect Master?”

River nodded: ”He promised me this; if you join, our powers being comparable, I would be the main, you the deputy, to manage Three Saints Sect together.”

”I know this isn’t fair to the Sect Master, but it’s the best course for Three Saints Sect. By surrendering, we’re alive, and the Celestial Horse Knights survive too; else who would leave the Heavenly River Secret Realm alive?”

”More importantly, even if we die, endure Nirvana Rebirth, with our realm falling drastically, still oblivious, do you think we could stop him, alter this entire event’s outcome??”
