The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Ways to Resist the Peculiar Poison of Harmony Hollow_1

Carson Flores settled in the City Lord’s Mansion, with a Late Phase of Transforming Spirit expert present, there was no need to worry about Tobias Singleton taking desperate measures.

He might not be too concerned about killing Carson himself, but the temptation of a Great Secret Technique was definitely not low.

When life was at stake, one could never be too careful.

In his room, Carson sat cross-legged, the Heaven-reaching Lotus Seed in his mouth; he calmed his mind and spirit and entered a state of introspection, slowly extending his spiritual power to his Dantian.

The Dantian was like a world unto itself, with Spiritual Energy like the sea, and the Golden Core suspended, shining brightly. From the perspective of the Dantian, it looked like a dazzling golden giant egg in Nebula City, exuding a bracing aura.

Carson’s spiritual power was like a sieve, scanning over this world bit by bit, with a particular focus on the golden giant egg.

After what seemed an eternity, Carson stopped.

On the glittering Golden Core, there was a small black imprint.

Carson examined meticulously; the black imprint was like a Rune, tightly clinging to the surface of the Golden Core. If you did not look carefully, it was absolutely invisible.

As the Spiritual Energy flowed through the Golden Core, with the continuous movement of the Spiritual Energy, the black imprint would produce subtle fluctuations, extremely faint, but yet enduring and clear.

Found it!

A Spiritual Imprint had indeed been planted on him!

Tobias Singleton aiming to kill him, the Silver Flood Dragon Scissors’ thrice consecutive attacks becoming fiercer with each strike, before Carson revealed his Ground Shrinking Technique, there was absolutely no chance of escape. Under such circumstances, why would Tobias think to plant a Spiritual Imprint on him?

After Carson used the Ground Shrinking Technique to escape, Tobias Singleton never got close to him again; he simply didn’t have the opportunity to plant another Spiritual Imprint.

The answer seemed to clear up all at once.

The Spiritual Imprint was not planted on him by Tobias Singleton, but rather, someone had planted it on him using some special method while he was at Mount Kahdas.

Tobias Singleton was not killing him without reason; he had been waiting for Carson to appear.

He wanted to kill Carson!

Who else could make a Divinity Transformation Expert like Tobias Singleton wait outside to kill him, if not Bryant James?

Once Carson figured it out, he did not feel too surprised; he simply sighed softly.

In the end, he still encountered it.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Carson gathered his attention and concentrated his spiritual power, starting an assault on the black imprint.

Originally, Carson was worried that his spiritual power was not strong enough and he would fail to destroy the Spiritual Imprint, but when his spiritual power struck the Imprint like a blade, the Runes on the black mark instantly shattered, then the black imprint itself completely collapsed, turning into countless points of light and disappearing into the Dantian.

Is it done?

Carson was both shocked and delighted, but after careful thought, he surmised that the Spiritual Imprint must have been planted some time ago, meaning it had already worn down quite a bit and was no longer as sturdy, which is why he was able to shatter it with a single blow.

Having removed the Spiritual Imprint, Carson’s mood relaxed considerably.

Tobias Singleton was a Deity Transformation Expert, and if Carson were caught off guard, Tobias could have easily taken his life in a single strike.

Although Carson had a Dragon Turtle Pendant that could be activated automatically, it obviously wouldn’t have stopped Tobias.

Carson took out the Communication Stone and sent a message to Joaquin Moses, then the two met in a private room at a tavern.

Joaquin Moses smiled and said, ”You were away so long, you didn’t even allow someone to bring a message...”

Carson cut to the chase and asked, ”Where did you learn about the Tomb of the Demon Emperor?”

Joaquin Moses was a bit dazed, Carson had previously seemed indifferent, so why did he immediately ask about this upon meeting and with such a serious expression?

”My father mentioned it in the Jade Slip he left for me. Where he learned about it, I’m not sure,” Joaquin replied.

Carson sighed, ”The information is probably not a tightly-kept secret; quite a few people might already know about it.”

”Ah?”

Joaquin was somewhat bewildered, ”Why do you say that?”

Carson answered, ”Ten years ago, in Mount Kahdas, a Supreme Elder led three hundred Kahdas Disciples into Harmony Hollow to explore the Tomb of the Demon Emperor. Only the Supreme Elder escaped back, all three hundred either died or went missing, and this included my father.”

Joaquin’s mouth fell open in shock, ”They took action ten years ago? Did they find it?”

Carson shook his head, ”No, they didn’t even make it deep inside before the entire team was annihilated.”

Joaquin cautiously asked, ”Then your father...”

Carson nodded, ”Unless something unexpected happened, he likely died in Harmony Hollow.”

Joaquin’s eyes suddenly filled with sympathy and a touch of commiseration as he looked at Carson.

Joaquin’s father was killed by someone, and Carson’s father died while exploring Harmony Hollow; they were both without fathers.

”Tell me the information you didn’t previously disclose. Rest assured, if I go in, I will take you with me,” Joaquin said.

Looking into Carson’s earnest eyes, Joaquin hesitated, then said, ”It’s about how to resist the bizarre poisons of Harmony Hollow...”
