The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1629: Chapter 1629: Losing My Wife and My Troops

”He got away!”

At the summit of the Black Thunder Sect, Cora Tate landed in front of Carson Flores, her tone tinged with regret: ”But that guy took a hard hit from me, he must be feeling terrible...”

Carson Flores wasn’t surprised by this result, after all, the Black Cloth Blood Envoy was incredibly powerful and escaped cleanly and efficiently; it was quite normal for him to get away.

”No matter what, this was a severe blow to Heavenly Alliance’s forces on the Divine Flame Continent. In the coming period, the Heavenly Alliance will probably have to restrain itself a bit.”

Carson Flores paused for a moment, reminding, ”But this time, since the Heavenly Alliance took a big hit, they definitely won’t let it rest. The Thousand Flowers Palace should be cautious moving forward.”

Cora Tate nodded, ”After returning to the palace this time, I’ll order the palace to go on lockdown; all non-essential departures will be prohibited. With the Sect Great Array, even if the Heavenly Alliance attacks with full force, we’re not afraid.”

Carson Flores hummed in agreement, ”The Heavenly Alliance is aggressively powerful. This time, with the Black Cloth Blood Envoy wounded, there’s no guarantee he won’t seek help from the headquarters or others. In any case, it’s best to be cautious and have a retreat plan ready, just in case.”

Cora Tate nodded, ”Our Sect has a Teleportation Array leading elsewhere. After returning, I will also secretly arrange a new Teleportation Ground. If the day truly comes when the Thousand Flowers Palace can’t be defended, we’ll choose to retreat, avoid their sharp edge, preserve our strength, and reassess.”

Carson Flores breathed a sigh of relief; what he feared most was Cora Tate’s fearlessness and not preparing a backup plan, because if the palace was truly encircled, no one would escape?

”It’s best to convey this news about the Heavenly Alliance to all major Sects to prepare them. It will also give everyone the impression that the Heavenly Alliance isn’t as strong and unbeatable as imagined. This way, when they face Heavenly Alliance’s solicitations and stand against the Celestial Palace, they’ll naturally consider more.”

Cora Tate readily responded, ”Alright, I’ll instruct someone to handle this.”

Thus, the purpose of this outing was perfectly accomplished, and the four of them embarked on their return journey.

...

Double Saints Sect.

The Vice Sect Leader, one of the Double Saints, Moshe Conley, entered with a stern face, swiftly entering Sect Master Leland Conley’s Cave Mansion.

Leland Conley was meditating, contemplating a Cultivation Technique, and was immediately surprised to see Moshe Conley rush in.

”Why are you back? You’re... injured?”

Moshe Conley sat opposite Leland Conley, his face pale, and began, ”Our outpost at the Black Thunder Sect was raided by three Heavenly Immortals led by Cora Tate from the Thousand Flowers Palace. Chen Chunhe was killed, over ten subordinates died, and I was pursued by Cora Tate. Although I escaped, I took a blow from her and was severely injured...”

Leland Conley’s eyes flashed with a puzzled look, ”Cora Tate was severely injured and unconscious after I struck her with Shadow God Break. How did she recover so quickly, and how did she find the Black Thunder Sect so precisely?”

Pausing for a moment, Leland Conley pondered, ”I had someone inquire; Jonah Arnold left for a farewell visit to the Azure Nether Divine Palace, also attempting to purchase Seven-Star Spirit Mushroom, but since it wasn’t there, the matter was dropped.”

Moshe Conley raised an eyebrow, ”Seven-Star Spirit Mushroom... isn’t that for creating Sanyuan Soul Stabilization Elixir? This elixir is highly effective for repairing Divine Spirit, but it’s a Premium Elixir of extremely high difficulty to concoct. Even renowned Alchemy Masters across the continent wouldn’t dare claim they could successfully create it. Does the Thousand Flowers Palace hide a highly skilled Alchemy Master, and they just happened to have Seven-Star Spirit Mushroom and succeeded in one go?”

Leland Conley shook his head, ”That’s not important anymore. What’s important is how they found the Black Thunder Sect. If they can find the Black Thunder Sect, can they find other places? Do they know our identities?”

Moshe Conley shook his head, ”The problem likely still lies with that Golden-Winged Great Roc, the sole connection with Carson Flores and the Thousand Flowers Palace. Although I checked it, there might have been some method I missed that allowed Carson Flores to track it, thereby precisely locating the Black Thunder Sect.”

”When they arrived, not sure what method they used, the magical treasure on the Golden-Winged Great Roc immediately severed its connection with me, making it impossible for me to sense its presence. Presumably, he used some magical treasure to cut off my connection with the magical treasure.”

Moshe Conley, at this point, slapped his thigh, ”Damn it, because of the Golden-Winged Great Roc’s massive size, it’s incredibly conspicuous. I even fed it a Demon Secret Fruit I acquired during my travels to the Heavenly Demon Continent early on. Now that I think about it, it truly is a case of losing both the lady and the soldiers!”

Leland Conley let out a sigh of relief, comforting, ”It’s just the Demon Secret Fruit; it’s effective on demons but has no effect on people like us, so no need to mind it... Carson Flores also came?”

Moshe Conley replied, ”Three women and one man came; that man is Carson Flores. He also used a storage-type magical treasure to destroy the physical body of a Golden Immortal Early Stage subordinate.”

Leland Conley frowned, ”This kid... he’s like a shadow, his power isn’t strong yet he’s everywhere, like a mudfish, slippery and elusive, impossible to catch...”

Moshe Conley asked, ”Brother, what do we do now?”

Leland Conley said in a deep voice, ”First, you heal your wounds. I need to attend to settling this newly recruited batch of strongmen. Once they’re thoroughly subdued, I have to make a trip to headquarters.”

Moshe Conley curiously asked, ”Why are you going to headquarters, to report?”

Leland Conley replied, ”The Alliance Hierarch has sent word for all higher-ups to attend. It’s likely something big is happening...”
