The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2246: Chapter 2246: Invisible Strangulation, Man-Eating Forest

The male cultivator from Mount Lingmiao and the female cultivator from the White Magpie Sect exchanged a glance. The male cultivator spoke, ”We just happened to bump into each other to settle some old grudges, that’s all.”

The female cultivator snorted, ”Fight if you want, who’s afraid of you.”

Orion Watson’s face wore a faint smile, ”Settle grudges? Haven’t discovered anything? Well, I’ll look around, and if I find anything, it’s mine. When that time comes, the two of you better not fight over it.”

The male and female cultivators’ faces both showed subtle changes. They exchanged another glance, seemingly reaching some understanding in that moment.

The male cultivator spoke, ”Search as you like, we won’t interfere.”

The female cultivator added, ”We said it’s just about settling old grudges, what’s there to find?”

Orion Watson made a gesture to fly downward, and the pair’s eyes had a somewhat peculiar look, but they didn’t stop him.

Orion Watson was worried that the two would join forces to attack him, so he kept a watchful eye on them. Seeing that they did not stop him, but rather held a subtle expression, he felt a chill in his heart and stopped descending.

The male cultivator from Mount Lingmiao laughed, ”Fellow Daoist, weren’t you going to search carefully? Why stop now? We didn’t stop you.”

Orion Watson smiled slightly, ”The white mist is thick, and divine sense is hard to discern. It’s difficult to search alone...”

Orion Watson turned and shouted toward the horizon, ”Icy, bring them over.”

The onlookers in the distant sky hurriedly rushed over together.

Orion Watson extended a finger, drawing a circle over a large area below, ”Thoroughly search this area; don’t miss any corner.”

”Yes!”

As Orion Watson spoke these words, his gaze remained on the pair, but discovered that they still didn’t stop him. Yet, their eyes were rather nuanced, seemingly with a hint of expectation.

Expectation?

What are they expecting?

Orion Watson casually called out, ”Icy, you stay behind.”

Icy Watson was slightly stunned but quickly answered obediently, ”Okay.”

Carson Flores, who was following the crowd into the white mist, instinctively raised an eyebrow upon hearing Orion Watson’s words.

Something’s wrong!

The fighting couple did not hinder the crowd’s search and even appeared eager for them to hurry, indicating something?

Orion Watson obviously noticed something unusual, hence asking her to stay and avoid danger.

Carson Flores felt a drumbeat of anxiety in his heart. Those two were obviously Great Land Immortals, and anything that made them wary wasn’t ordinary.

Carson Flores slipped into the white mist, covertly summoning the Ethereal Pagoda and retrieving the Golden Sphere given by the Ancestor Dragon.

This Golden Sphere could withstand the Dark Ancestral Dragon’s attack for five minutes, showing its formidable defense.

With double-layered protection, Carson Flores’ courage rose a bit, and he carefully flew close to the ground.

In the hazy white mist, several people searched slowly.

Suddenly, as a disciple stepped through a mountain pass, it seemed as if some invisible ripple gently vibrated within the mist. The disciple’s protective dharma treasure was instantly crushed, the barrier silently shattered, and his body was directly ground into a mass of blood mist within the silent ripple.

Most astonishing was that this disciple was not very far from the three powerful figures in the sky, yet they seemed to sense nothing, continuing their watch below without any reaction.

Carson Flores also didn’t realize that a disciple ahead had silently died, and he continued to proceed slowly forward.

Another disciple walked to a certain mountain base, encountering the same situation again.

An invisible ripple appeared again in the air, silently grinding the disciple into a mass of blood mist that quickly dispersed into the surrounding white mist, as if it had never existed.

Soon, Carson Flores also reached the extension line of that invisible ripple. As he stepped out, he felt a sudden emptiness.

What lay before was solid ground, but Carson Flores seemed to step into void space, his body tilting forward as if he had stepped into a bottomless pit.

The invisible ripple instantly enveloped Carson Flores, exerting terrifying crushing pressure. The Golden Sphere in his arms immediately reacted, manifesting a barrier around him.

The ripple persisted, and the barrier’s color visibly thinned and trembled involuntarily with the ripple, finally bursting silently along with the Golden Sphere in Carson Flores’ arms.

Just as the Golden Sphere managed the ripple pressure, the Ethereal Pagoda reacted, enveloping Carson Flores in a golden light.

The invisible ripple shattered the Golden Sphere and fell upon the golden barrier released by the Ethereal Pagoda. The barrier, indistinguishable from that of the Golden Sphere, quickly dimmed, trembled violently with the ripple, and silently collapsed.

The Golden Sphere’s barrier and the double-layer strong barrier of the Ethereal Pagoda were silently crushed by the ripple, yet they bought Carson Flores a tiny bit of time.

Inside the Ethereal Pagoda, a golden light fell on Carson Flores, who disappeared at the moment the invisible ripple enveloped him, entering the Ethereal Pagoda.

The ripple struck the Ethereal Pagoda, producing a crisp sound.

This sound transmitted through the white mist, up to the Heavenly Dome, reaching the ears of the three powerful figures above.

Orion Watson’s expression changed, waving his hand in a way that a gust arose from the ground, violently blowing away the thick mist between the mountains, revealing the scene before him in an instant.

The area where he dispersed the mist was precisely where Carson Flores was, where the sound originated. Yet it was utterly quiet, with no figures and no signs of any battle.

Orion Watson frowned. How can there be no one?

He clearly heard the sound coming from there. Where did the person go?

Orion Watson solemnly said, ”Pause the search, everybody come out.”

Two silhouettes leaped from the white mist, with a hint of perplexity on their faces, evidently not understanding why they had to stop suddenly when they were searching well.

Orion Watson’s face dramatically changed.

Icy Watson’s face also changed, her eyes filled with unconcealed terror.

They both knew well that there were originally seven people following Orion Watson. Apart from Icy Watson, there were six others. One was killed by a poisonous spray from a serpent-like magical beast, leaving five who entered the white mist below. But now, only two remained.

Where are the other three?

Where did they go?

Icy Watson turned pale, calling out, ”Master Han, Junior Chen, Junior Zhou, come out quickly!”

No response!

The mountain area was as quiet as ever, with no traces of battle, yet three Hollow Void Stage cultivators silently vanished as if this forest had silently devoured them!

Orion Watson turned his head, adopting a cold expression as he looked at the pair opposite, solemnly asking, ”Shouldn’t you tell me something?”
