The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Capítulo 2237: Chapter 2237: Uninvited Guest, Arriving Without Invitation

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

With the sound of the bell echoing throughout the Sect, countless disciples of Green Bird City gathered from various places onto the massive square in front of the mountain gate.

Carson Flores and Lucas White were also mingling in the crowd, continuously being greeted by others, smiling back without saying much.

With the expedition imminent, most people were rather excited. After all, exploring such an undeveloped Secret Realm comes with many opportunities to acquire valuable items, which are very difficult to obtain in the outside world through mere strength.

If luck is on one’s side and one obtains some high-level valuable items, they can exchange them with the Sect for huge amounts of cultivation resources, or even some special items to aid their cultivation, enhancing their strength or even their realm.

There’s sure to be risk, but what doesn’t come with risk?

Immortal Cultivation is inherently a highly risky endeavor; how many have turned to dust amidst one breakthrough after another in the Heavenly Tribulation?

To stand out, how can one not go all out?

Ernesto Stein, the City Lord of Green Bird City, flew out from the Sect Main Hall, delivering a speech to boost morale, followed by the Hall Master of the Battle Hall announcing the exploration’s reward and punishment rules, reminding everyone to unite, forbidding internal fighting, killing, and looting, and explaining how such matters would be punished if discovered.

After announcing the rules, the Hall Master also unveiled the special reward policy for this expedition, which included detailed rewards for Void Lotus Herb and Harmony Spring, similar to what Icy Watson explained earlier. Essentially, as long as these two items are obtained, generous rewards can be expected; other items, once submitted, will be reviewed, and the Sect will provide substantial Points in return. Disciples can then use these Points to exchange for what they need.

Even when cultivators join a Sect, the monthly cultivation resources they receive are extremely limited. If they want resources, they must strive to earn them.

Many disciples, upon hearing such rewards, had their eyes lit up.

What does it mean to step to the top in one move?

This is, indeed, stepping to the top in one move!

With just a little bit of luck, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple or even apprenticing under a Great Land Sovereign could be at reach!

At that moment, all disciples were spirited and eager to immediately rush into the Secret Realm and start collecting.

Green Bird City evidently placed utmost importance on this exploration, with Sect Master Ernesto Stein personally leading the team, aboard several giant Flying Boats, heading towards the Secret Realm.

After several days of travel, they arrived at their destination.

In the mountain ranges shrouded in white mist, amidst which a giant Light Gate glowed brilliantly—constructed forcibly by a Space Great Power using Space Divine Power as a Teleportation Gate.

As the Flying Boat landed, all disciples disembarked, quietly waiting for arrangements.

Ernesto Stein spoke softly with the elder guarding the place, inquiring about recent conditions, when dozens of giant ships appeared from afar, rapidly approaching.

“Sect Master, Flying Boats!”

Ernesto Stein’s expression turned stern, flying upward to see the approaching Flying Boat, his face suddenly ashen.

From the flags flying on the fleet, he could already determine the opponents’ identity—none other than Mount Lingmiao and White Magpie Sect.

Originally, he wanted to use negotiation to delay them, but didn’t expect them to arrive precisely on time, evidently due to internal collaboration.

Ernesto Stein flew up with a chilly face, intercepting them atop a peak.

The fleet rapidly approached, then stopped before Ernesto Stein, aligning in rows, with Mount Lingmiao’s Flying Boats on the left, White Magpie Sect’s on the right.

“City Lord Ernesto, long time no see! Hope you’re well, haha!”

With a hearty and proud laugh, a burly figure rose from Mount Lingmiao’s giant ship—it was Eugene James, Master of Mount Lingmiao. Meanwhile, a graceful silhouette also flew up from another giant ship—it was a charming middle-aged lady full of allure, none other than Rachel Parrish, Sect Master of White Magpie Sect.

Ernesto Stein with a frosty expression: “Eugene James, Rachel Parrish, what does your joint arrival mean?”

Rachel Parrish from White Magpie Sect slightly smiled: “City Lord Ernesto, you’re just asking knowingly. Of course, we are here hoping to lend a hand in exploring the Secret Realm, considering its vastness; relying only on Green Bird City, you wouldn’t be able to fully explore it.”

Ernesto Stein sneered: “This Secret Realm was discovered by us, expending all kinds of resources to finally construct the Teleportation Gate and open the Secret Realm channel. We are entirely capable of exploring the Secret Realm without bothering you.”

Eugene James from Mount Lingmiao smiled: “City Lord Ernesto, your words make us feel like strangers. We all know that during your Secret Realm exploration, several Great Land Fairies have already perished, suggesting you need assistance.”

Ernesto Stein replied coldly: “What if I insist we do not need help?”

Eugene James sighed: “This Secret Realm also falls within the influence of Mount Lingmiao and White Magpie Sect. To be honest, long ago we detected this Secret Realm; we were just preparing when Green Bird City got there first. Now, wanting to monopolize it is something Mount Lingmiao and White Magpie Sect cannot simply allow…”
