The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2317: Chapter 2317: Skyfire Descends—Can You Withstand It?

Carson Flores was not afraid of the Illusory Moon Sect; after all, his goal was only to rescue Cirelle Moonshadow, not to kill their Junior Sect Master, Magnus Flores.

To the Illusory Moon Sect, Cirelle Moonshadow was just a toy that Magnus Flores casually mentioned. Her life and death were of no importance at all.

The following days were calm and uneventful.

Selah Ellison would go to chat and have tea with Cirelle Moonshadow whenever they were free, and their relationship quickly became friendly. However, Carson Flores had never contacted Cirelle Moonshadow, which reassured Oberon Foster greatly.

Inside, he was conflicted. He didn’t want Cirelle Moonshadow to be sent to the Illusory Moon Sect to face misfortune, but he had no choice. He had to harden his heart and cut off any chances of her escape, just to deliver her to Magnus Flores’s hands.

Magnus Flores had said that if Cirelle Moonshadow wasn’t delivered, all agreements would be nullified.

The Wind Snow Sect couldn’t afford to provoke the Illusory Moon Sect.

The Illusory Moon Sect had more than a dozen Great Land Supremes, and even Peak Great Land Supreme Immortals, while Wind Snow Sect had only one Great Land Immortal at the Great Land Immortal First Realm. The Illusory Moon Sect could send just anyone to wipe out the Wind Snow Sect.

Even if they knew it was borrowed extortion, what could they do?

They did accidentally kill one of the Inner Sect Disciples, after all.

In the Immortal Realm, where the weak are meat and the strong eat, merely compensating them was already a very gentle way to handle it.

Oberon Foster knew that Cirelle Moonshadow had told Selah Ellison the truth, and he also knew that Selah sympathized with Cirelle Moonshadow. He didn’t stop their interaction, thinking that this might be Cirelle’s last bit of happiness.

”We’ve been on this ship for two months, haven’t we? How much longer?”

”Almost there, we’re more than halfway. Once we get through the Stormy Sea Area, the following journey should be quick. Estimate about half a month to reach the coast.”

Carson Flores casually asked, ”Stormy Sea Area, what’s that?”

Selric Roth explained, ”Within the Sea Fury Region, the climate is unpredictable, with sudden violent storms, tsunamis, and other harsh conditions. If the ship encounters these, it increases the risk of shipwreck, making it a high-risk sailing area.”

Carson Flores nodded, ”How long does it take to get through the Sea Fury Region?”

Selric Roth answered, ”Depends on luck. With good luck and no harsh conditions, it might take about seven or eight days. But if we encounter bad weather, the time will extend significantly.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Even if there’s bad weather, with a Great Land Immortal overseeing, it shouldn’t be a problem, right? After all, he can freeze even the sea.”

Selric Roth laughed, ”Yeah, that’s the reassurance of being on a top-tier ship. If we were on another ship, even a Grade A one, in extremely harsh conditions, the guards might not handle it.”

When the Ocean King entered the Sea Fury Region, half a day later, the sea’s condition began to deteriorate.

With howling winds and surging waves, the sky grew increasingly heavy, like thunderclouds rolling very low, creating a great sense of oppression.

Even though the Ocean King was like a fortress, it began to struggle to maintain stability, swaying more and more under the powerful waves.

Just as the passengers began to panic, a guard flew to the side where the waves were rolling in, and with a magical treasure, shattered the approaching wave.

The massive wave was broken apart, and though the sea was still fiercely churning, it posed no threat to the fortress-like Ocean King, which steadied considerably.

Artificially breaking the waves.

Have to say, immortals do come in handy.

The Mountain and Sea Sect’s Battle Sea Hall’s immortal guards took turns handling the towering waves like mountains, escorting the Ocean King forward through the storm.

Watching the guards on the Ocean King expertly ensure safe passage, everyone’s fear of nature quickly dissipated.

With a Great Land Immortal escorting, what’s there to fear?

But just on the fourth night after entering the Sea Fury Region, an attack suddenly descended with an unbeatable and tyrannical force.

The dark sky was suddenly illuminated by flames.

Massive iron balls, gleaming with a metallic luster, appeared in the sky, descending from the Nine Heavens at a terrifying speed, ripping through thick clouds, and abruptly appearing above the Ocean King, plummeting downwards.

Each massive iron ball was covered with countless spikes, dragging long tails of fire like meteors, crashing fiercely into the Barrier.

Each iron ball was at least a hundred meters in diameter, unimaginably heavy, and at such a high impact speed, each one contained terrifying energy.

The Barrier was incredibly sturdy!

Even these comet-like impacts didn’t breach this extraordinarily powerful Barrier.

The sharp spikes on the iron balls struck the Barrier and were twisted under the enormous kinetic force, eventually snapping with a crisp crack.

The massive iron balls, stripped of their protective spikes, crashed directly onto the Barrier, then exploded with a resounding boom.
