The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Enemy Attack!

”Coming from the Mortal Realm, are these heartfelt words from you?”

Facing Kash Lam’s teasing, Carson Flores joked, ”Isn’t that the truth? In the Mortal Realm, I was an invincible being, but as soon as I entered the Barbarian Wilderness Realm, I became a Golden Core Initial Stage that anyone could bully. The drop in status is certainly significant.”

”Actually, I’m doing fairly well, considering I’m young and I’ve only just advanced not long ago. The number one expert I know from the Mortal Realm, he had the chance to enter the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens but hesitated, a significant reason being he couldn’t accept this drop in status.”

Lainey Dragon chuckled lightly, ”For us, the end of our lives is still far away, and whether we can enter the Immortal Realm isn’t that important. But for those at the Great Perfection of Hollow Void whose lives are in their later stages, that is their hope for survival.”

”Regardless of what the Immortal Realm is like, after ascending and becoming an Immortal, one’s lifespan is counted in ten thousand years, allowing one to have a prolonged life. As long as one is alive, isn’t that always better than sleeping eternally underground?”

Carson Flores smiled and nodded, but suddenly recalled what Elsie Matthews had said that day.

The Immortal Realm and the Barbarian Wilderness Realm are no different, it’s survival of the fittest, where the strong are revered!

Just like the two sisters before they ascended, they must have been at the Demon King level, capable of summoning the wind and rain, who would dare disobey them?

After their ascension, their True Dragon Forms were demoted to maidens, reduced to pulling carts. Thinking about it this way, the younger sister’s rebellion is not incomprehensible.

When these Sect leaders, who could shake the ground with a stamp of their feet, ascended to the Immortal Realm and suddenly faced a significant drop in status, with countless powerful Immortals able to control their fate, they must tread carefully. Their feelings must be quite mixed.

Perhaps, this is the price of living.

”Yeah, those who are most keen to ascend and become Immortals should take the lead. We, who are young, will just hide behind them, safety first.”

”With so many powerhouses, it won’t be our turn to exert ourselves; we just need to protect ourselves.”

”It’s just that when the time comes, we will all follow the Sect’s elders. How about it, Carson Flores, who will you pair up with?”

Carson Flores declined with a smile, ”No need, I’ll just follow along and watch. If anything feels off, I’ll run; it’s not a big deal.”

Kash Lam didn’t insist and laughed, ”Alright, your abilities in a fight aside, nobody can match your skill in fleeing.”

Three days later, the team of Cultivators set out impressively.

This time, they weren’t sneaking or dodging, but attacking openly and legitimately.

Overwhelming push!

Whoever stands in the way will be pushed aside!

Carson Flores followed behind the team, looking at the dense crowd in front, his heart filled with anticipation.

Such a formidable lineup!

At least fifty strong cultivators in the Hollow Void Realm led the way, and most of them were at the Great Perfection stage!

As the team advanced steadily and methodically, the going was not fast because of the crowd.

Five days later, a majestic and towering mountain loomed ahead.

Carson Flores looked at the mountain from afar, his pace slowing even further, distancing himself a bit from the team. It was at this mountain that he had encountered the lady in white before.

When the team reached the base of the mountain, the lady in white did not show up; the mountain was eerily quiet.

Carson Flores couldn’t help being surprised. Wasn’t the lady in white supposed to be the guard?

Where was she?

As night fell, the team stopped and set up camp to rest.

Carson Flores sat cross-legged in a corner of the camp, his mind clear and alert at all times.

During the day, neither the lady in white, Princess Hail, nor the madman Franklin Wyatt showed up, which was obviously abnormal.

From Carson Flores’s brief contact with Princess Hail, although they served as guards, they didn’t seem like those irrational Demonic Beasts that only attacked wildly without sense. They possessed the rationality of normal people.

Given the imposing presence of the Cultivator team, if they chose not to confront them head-on, it was highly probable they would choose to attack at night.

What Carson Flores could think of, the many leaders of the team could naturally think of too. Thus, when setting up camp, the Thirteen Battle Formation Flags, the treasure of the West Xu Shan, were planted and encompassed the entire camp.

The Array Flags were driven deep into the ground, becoming immense like pillars of heaven and earth, emitting frightening waves of Spiritual Energy. The flags were interlinked, forming a formidable net in the sky and on the ground.

At midnight, a violent wind howled.

Suddenly, a black blade light appeared like a ghost, cutting through the night and slashing towards an Array Flag.

The Array Flag flashed brightly as a spear shadow soared to the sky to meet the black blade light.

”Clang!”

The spear shadow shattered with a crash.

The blade light continued downward, cutting through as if it could split the heavens and the earth.

All thirteen Array Flags lit up with dazzling light, but they still could not stop this single slash.

The Array Flag snapped in two, its rupture echoing like thunder.

”Enemy attack!”
