The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2399: Chapter 2399: Fellow, You Are Destined with My Buddha

With so many people in the camp, why was he the only one chosen?

This was Carson Flores’ biggest doubt.

The Wither-Bloom Sage smiled, with a clarity in his eyes that seemed to understand everything: ”When you previously closed your eyes and didn’t wake up, you were dreaming, your entire body exuding clarity. The technique you’ve been practicing is the Dragon Mountain Ultimate Skill Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art, and you’ve mastered it, haven’t you?”

Carson was startled. This monk was truly terrifying.

To be able to tell at a glance that he had succeeded in his practice?

Even many people in the Dragon Mountain Sect didn’t know about this yet.

Carson tried to stabilize his shocked heart and said with a smile, ”Master truly has discerning eyes. I am indeed practicing the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art, but I have not mastered it. I can only say I’ve had a slight understanding, am in the process of comprehending it, felt something, and had to interrupt my practice...”

The collaboration of the Three Sects this time counts as an alliance, but in reality, the Three Sects have always been competitors. Given that everyone in the Dragon Mountain Sect was unaware he had mastered the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art, would this monk plan to do something against him?

After all, having successfully practiced the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art, he would definitely become an important figure in the Dragon Mountain Sect, and thus an important opponent to Dharma.

Is it not a perfectly normal tactic to squash a potential threat in the cradle?

The Wither-Bloom Sage looked into Carson’s eyes and smiled slightly: ”When I was under the control of a Heart Demon, it was your Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art aura that attracted me, but luckily, otherwise, I might have wrought endless slaughter. Fellow Flores, you’ve done me a great service.”

Carson laughed, ”Everyone being unharmed is the best outcome.”

The Wither-Bloom Sage sighed, ”You may not be a follower of Dharma, but to understand such profound Buddhist principles shows you have a connection with our Buddha. It’s a pity you’ve joined the Dragon Mountain Sect, practicing their sect’s Absolute Skill, otherwise, I could have guided you into Dharma to take refuge in our Buddha.”

Hearing this, Carson felt secretly relieved; luckily, he joined the Dragon Mountain Sect, otherwise, he wouldn’t be taken away to become a monk?

”Thank you, senior, for your appreciation. It’s just that I’m a glutton and lustful, with several wives at home. If I were to join Dharma, my heart might not be able to stay calm.”

The Wither-Bloom Sage thought for a moment, took out a Token, and handed it to Carson: ”Because of you, Fellow, I successfully got rid of the Heart Demon without going on a killing spree and creating much slaughter. I owe you a huge favor—take this Token. If you encounter danger, infuse it with Spiritual Power, and I will appear to help you resolve the danger.”

Carson was delighted and happily accepted the Token: ”Your true form, or a projection?”

”My true form,”

The Wither-Bloom Sage smiled and said, ”You are a disciple of Floating Cloud; ordinary danger would naturally not trouble you. Only when you encounter difficulties or dangers that even Floating Cloud cannot resolve should you use this Token.”

”This Token can only be used once, so use it cautiously.”

Carson was secretly shocked. This Wither-Bloom Sage was indeed formidable. From his words, no matter the distance, he could apparently Traverse Space with his true form, which was much more impressive than the powerhouses of the Three Sects who initially offered him Tokens.

People like Flowing Cloud, Cyrion, Profound Power, and others could manifest physically during his encounter with Ghost True Sage because they had already arrived at the North Sea, not far from Moon God Island. If they were still back in Eastern Radiance, with a great distance in between, they could at most send a projection of their true forms.

This Wither-Bloom Sage is said to already possess the unique presence of a Saint’s Divine Skills. With this Amulet, it’s basically as if Carson has gained another life.

No matter the enemy faced, as long as the Wither-Bloom Sage arrived, even if he couldn’t kill the opponent, he could at least ensure a safe escape for Carson.

Carson was overjoyed; though he had been scared half to death earlier by The Wither-Bloom Sage possessed by a Heart Demon, having earned such a significant favor meant he now had an extra life—it was indeed a huge gain.

Fortune favors the bold!

However, Carson hoped that similar incidents wouldn’t happen again—just thinking about it still filled him with some lingering fear.

Even the smallest misstep, had the Buddhist chant he recited not touched the monk’s soul, he would likely be doomed.

The Flying Boat raced onward, and Moon God Island quickly reappeared before them.

Soon, Carson reappeared at the Three Sects’ camp. The arrival of the two caused quite a commotion, and soon everyone from the Three Sects was out on the open ground.

Flowing Cloud still looked pale, but his eyes were filled with joy: ”Carson?”

Carson leaped off the Flying Boat and asked with concern, ”Uncle Master, are you alright?”

Flowing Cloud shook his head and warily looked at The Wither-Bloom Sage: ”I’m fine, what’s going on?”

Before Carson could answer, The Wither-Bloom Sage had already joined hands in a gesture of respect towards Flowing Cloud: ”Fellow Flowing Cloud, earlier I was controlled by a Heart Demon and injured you—I’m truly sorry. I have an elixir here as a token of apology...”

The Wither-Bloom Sage turned his hand, and a red elixir flew toward Flowing Cloud.

Many present couldn’t help but exclaim instinctively when their eyes fell on the elixir.

”Spirit Buddha Pill!”

Flowing Cloud’s expression softened as he caught the elixir and said solemnly, ”Is the master alright now...?”

The Wither-Bloom Sage replied: ”With Carson’s help, I successfully suppressed the Heart Demon and have now returned to normal...”
