The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2324: Chapter 2324: A Familiar Plot Repeats Itself!

Inside the Light Gate, with a single gesture, a hand summoned back the prayer beads that had been knocked away by the Flying Sword, and an angry voice thundered like King Duncan’s roar, shaking the heavens.

”Who are you, daring to meddle with our Sect, let me see if I can’t kill you.”

The man in black said coldly, ”If I wanted to tell you who I am, why would I wear a mask? This is the Sea Fury Region, a place I’ve carefully chosen as the stage for action. You can’t get through, even if you extend a hand here, you won’t be able to block it.”

Profound Power knew the man in black was speaking the truth, his voice like thunder, ”Junior brother, I’ll hold him off, you take the others and go first!”

”Alright!”

Sage of Empty Insight knew even if he stayed, he wouldn’t be of much help, so he efficiently protected Dharma’s Son Wyland and the other disciples, advancing north.

They had hardly gone far when a figure suddenly appeared in the sky—an elderly figure with white hair wearing a mask, his posture indicating old age.

He stood with his hands behind his back, leisurely blocking Sage of Empty Insight and the others’ path, ”Hey, Black Cloak, your strike isn’t sharp enough.”

Sage of Empty Insight and the others stopped, overwhelmed with fear.

Another master?

The man in black said coldly, ”Less talk, quickly kill Wyland before it’s too late.”

But the old man wasn’t in a hurry, replying, ”Adalira went to kill that Pathist Sect heir, this one is mine. One for each of us, isn’t that nice?”

The man in black’s eyes flashed with anger; he understood the old man’s meaning of one each.

One Three Sects Disciple for each.

The man in black would kill Dragon Mountain Sect heir Profound River, the old man in white would kill Dharma Sect’s Wyland, and Adalira would kill the Pathist disciple Profound Clarity. Once they were killed, the primary goal of this operation would be accomplished.

But perhaps he hadn’t been able to kill Profound River!

However, with the situation as it was, he couldn’t admit weakness and weaken their momentum, so he commanded decisively, ”Get them!”

The great battle reignited.

Profound Power was very strong, able to temporarily hold off the man in black with just one hand, but Sage of Empty Insight and the others suffered.

How could they withstand this white-haired elder who also had the power of a Great Land Prime Immortal?

”Scatter and flee!”

All the monks instantly turned into dozens of long rainbows, fleeing in all directions.

The old man in white chuckled low, his laugh like a night owl’s hoot, ”Trying to escape? You think you can? Let me kill you, and you’ll suffer less!”

As he spoke, the old man in white had already started pursuing Wyland, and in the meantime, many interceptors and Sea Demons emerged, chasing after the fleeing disciples.

Sage of Empty Insight knew he couldn’t win, but he couldn’t let the old man in white hunt down Dharma’s Son Wyland, so he took a deep breath, swallowing the taste of blood, and chased after them at top speed.

”Wyland, die now, and there will be peace in death!”

The old man in white caught up with Sage of Empty Insight in an instant. With a wave of his hand, boundless fiery fire appeared out of nowhere, burning towards Wyland.

Wyland was deep in the opponent’s domain, like he was in quicksand, unable to escape. Seeing the terrifying flames approaching, Wyland steeled his heart, letting a page of scripture fly from his brow, covered in dense Dharma texts.

The page of scripture flew up, instantly shining with a thousand rays of golden light, illuminating hundreds of miles around.

The scripture spun up and hovered over Wyland, like a makeshift shelter, able to shield its owner from wind and rain.

”The First Origin Sutra?”

The old man in white’s eyes gleamed with greed, truly worthy of being one of the Three Sects’ Disciples, protected not only by powerful Elders but also by such a magnificent magical treasure.

The First Origin Sutra, a precious treasure of the Dharma Sect, was said to consist of nine pages with recorded scriptures. Yet, too many were lost, and the Dharma Sect had searched for countless eras, only finding three pages.

The nine pages of the First Origin Sutra each possess different recorded content and effects. The one in Wyland’s hand is of super strong defense, given to him precisely to ensure his safety.

The thin scripture’s golden light splattered, each character seemed alive, detaching from the page and meeting the endless fiery flames head-on.

”Boom!”

The golden light on the scripture faded, and those once soaring characters suddenly seemed lifeless, returning to the scripture.

Linked to the scripture, Wyland felt as if struck by lightning, spewing a mouthful of blood, his face suddenly pale as ash.

Though the First Origin Sutra shielded him from a fatal strike, he was severely injured, his body like a meteor smashing into the sea.

The old man’s Divine Sense stayed locked on Wyland in the water, ready to launch a deadly second attack, but Sage of Empty Insight finally arrived, throwing his Kasaya, letting it cover the old man in white.

The old man in white sneered, boundless flames sweeping up, enveloping the radiant Kasaya instantly.

The old man in white blocked Sage of Empty Insight’s attack, raised his hand ready to strike Wyland again, but suddenly halted.

Eh?

Where’s Wyland?
