The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2421: Chapter 2421: Delarosa, We’ve Got a Major Problem

Secret realm rotation?

As soon as Flowing Cloud said this, everyone’s expressions changed.

Could they really be so unlucky to encounter the once-in-decades secret realm rotation?

Everyone looked at the Ghost True Sage, who was still madly destroying the world, and the same thought flashed through their minds.

Could this secret realm rotation be related to what the Ghost True Sage is doing now?

Floating Cloud made a decisive decision: ”The safe zone is not far from here. As long as we escape back there, we can survive this calamity!”

Everyone’s eyes lit up. Yes, they had chased the Ghost True Sage from the safe zone, and it hadn’t taken long to catch up, meaning they weren’t far from the safe zone.

As long as they ran fast enough, they could escape back to the safe zone before the entire world was swallowed by the endless darkness, and then there would be a chance of survival!

”Let’s go!”

Floating Cloud grabbed Carson Flores’ arm, while Flowing Cloud grabbed Profound River. The four transformed into streams of light, heading north.

”Where are you going?”

The Ghost True Sage’s maniacal laughter echoed between heaven and earth. The black light that enveloped him instantly extended, transforming into four black ropes that cut through the sky, wrapping toward the four streaks of light.

The Ghost True Sage was burning his life force, erupting with terrifying combat power. The four people attempting to escape were instantly entangled by the black aura, unable to flee any further.

The darkness at the edge of the sky pressed rapidly over them, and Flowing Cloud shouted angrily: ”Why are you pulling us if we’re all trying to escape?”

The Ghost True Sage laughed wildly, a frenzied and maddened laugh: ”I burn life force to destroy this world, so I can perish with you! Ha ha, even heaven is helping me, the secret realm has actually reincarnated!”

”Ha ha, didn’t you want to kill me? Then die with me!”

The Ghost True Sage obviously had already given up on living, or rather, he was throwing everything away.

He was already burning his life force, cutting off any hope of survival. Even if he fled to the safe zone with Carson Flores and the others, he couldn’t survive. Besides, would Floating Cloud and the others let him leave alive even if he reached the safe zone?

Today’s hatred means it’s a fight to the death!

If I can’t live, then neither can you!

Floating Cloud’s expression was as calm as water. He summoned a flying sword, casually slashing, and a flash of light split the sky. The black aura entangling them was instantly severed.

However, Floating Cloud’s strike had no effect. Although the Ghost True Sage could not defeat them, he was desperate enough to delay them, which he could surely accomplish.

Floating Cloud’s sword light flashed like lightning, shattering skies and earth. The black aura surrounding Ghost True Sage was constantly severed, and his body was being damaged and shattered, yet he laughed madly, indifferent, as dragons of black aura tightly bound everyone.

Endless darkness swept in, crossing over their heads in an instant, rolling into the distance.

Everyone’s hearts sank; it was over.

There wasn’t enough time.

Endless darkness instantly enveloped the land, and the remaining distant light was quickly consumed by darkness, until the entire world was completely shrouded in darkness.

”Ha ha ha ha, you’re done for!”

Seeing that everyone was completely halted and immersed in darkness, the Ghost True Sage ceased trying to entangle them. In Floating Cloud’s and Flowing Cloud’s fierce attacks just now, the Ghost True Sage was almost fragmented.

Everyone’s hearts were heavy. They couldn’t believe their bad luck in encountering this situation.

Profound River said with a bitter smile: ”What do we do now? I’ve heard that until now, none of the secret realms that have been rotated out have ever reappeared, and none of the adventurers within have ever reappeared...”

Floating Cloud said solemnly: ”Don’t panic. At least this secret realm hasn’t collapsed, so this isn’t the worst outcome. We’re all still alive, our realms are high enough, and our lifespans are long enough. There’s always a chance!”

Carson Flores thought for a moment: ”Next, we don’t know what we’ll face. Let’s all enter the tower first. I’ll send out an incarnation to scout ahead, so even if something happens, we’ll have some buffer...”

Floating Cloud asked: ”If something does happen, can your tower withstand it?”

With things at this stage, Carson Flores didn’t hide anything and replied: ”It’s an Innate Spiritual Treasure with an Artifact Spirit and has powerful defensive power. Several Great Land Prime Immortals tried to kill me, but it blocked them.”

”We don’t expect it to withstand everything, but at least with the buffer, we can handle things better.”

Everyone thought about it and figured the reasoning behind this was sound.

Who knows what they might face next?

Carson Flores summoned the Ethereal Pagoda. Floating Cloud glanced at the Ghost True Sage, who was already weakened and dying. Suddenly, he reached out, and a rope flew out, binding the Ghost True Sage.

”Bring him along; he might be of some use.”

”Alright!”

Carson Flores brought everyone into the Ethereal Pagoda and entered it himself, letting an incarnation wait outside to see what would happen.

Where they stood was naturally not the bottom of the abyss but the palace on the mountain peak.

Outside was endless darkness, but within the Ethereal Pagoda was a world of light, giving everyone a strange feeling.

Delarosa sat in the palace, smiling at them.

Carson Flores greeted, ”Delarosa, we’re in big trouble this time. We came in to take shelter...”

Carson Flores further introduced, ”Master, this is my sister Delarosa. On my journey, she saved me countless times. Without her, I would’ve been dead.”

Floating Cloud courteously greeted, ”Fellow Daoist, apologies for the disturbance!”

As the Artifact Spirit of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, Delarosa certainly wouldn’t be younger than Floating Cloud, so even though Carson Flores was his disciple, Floating Cloud showed the appropriate respect to Delarosa.

Delarosa smiled and said, ”Make yourselves comfortable, fellow Daoists.”

Delarosa gracefully departed, leaving Carson Flores to entertain the guests.

Everyone now stood at the edge of the grand hall, gazing at the endless mountain peaks, and Floating Cloud exclaimed in surprise, ”This tower contains a whole world within itself...”

Profound River looked bewildered. Last time he was saved, he hadn’t received this treatment; they had been confined at the bottom of a dark abyss.

Carson Flores noticed his expression and cleared his throat, ”We weren’t familiar with each other before, so...”

Profound River quickly cupped his hands, ”Uncle Master, I understand.”

The Ghost True Sage, bound nearby, felt immensely depressed as he watched this scene unfold.

This kid actually possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure for protection, no wonder he could block my attack back then.

If it weren’t for my greed, coveting this tower and sending my disciple to kill Carson Flores and seize it, would there have been all this trouble?

If my disciple hadn’t been captured, how would they have known I was hiding in this secret realm to heal?

The world is vast, and I was in hiding, so how could they have found me?

Thinking it through, everything stemmed from my own greed!

The Ghost True Sage gazed at the surrounding brightness, and a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Could these guys really have a way to safely get through this catastrophe?
