The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

The Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice was placed on the table in front of Carson Flores, with no prohibition around it. As long as the Broken Heaven Pathist wanted to flee, he could manipulate it to get out anytime.

Even if it only had a lingering primordial spirit, with Carson Flores’s strength, he definitely couldn’t stop it.

Carson Flores waited for a long time, the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice remained quietly there, without the slightest movement.

”Are you waiting for me to run away myself?”

The Broken Heaven Pathist sighed, saying with a hint of self-mockery, ”If I still had the ability to manipulate the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice, do you think I would have stayed in that place for thousands of years?”

Carson Flores thought for a moment, and it seemed reasonable. If he really had that ability, he would have already run away. Why hide mysteriously on that shelf, fearing being discovered by the Saint of Thieves and actively seeking his help?

”In that case, you should trust me even more. Tell me, what’s going on exactly, and see if I can help.”

The Broken Heaven Pathist seemed to have made up his mind and said solemnly, ”I want to find my daughter.”

Carson Flores furrowed his brow, ”Senior, tell me in detail.”

The Broken Heaven Pathist sighed, ”Back then, due to grievances and fighting with someone, I lost. The opponent wanted to eliminate me completely. I fled for years and finally shook off their pursuit in the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, exhausting my heart and blood to establish the Land of Chaotic Streams, hiding there.”

”I originally thought I was safe, yet I underestimated my opponent. Their divine skills were like a bone-corrosive poison—not only impossible to remove, but my injuries grew worse, like plants sprayed with pesticide, withering day by day. This is why though my body remains, it’s useless.”

”Helpless, I had to abandon my body and escape into the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice, relying on the power of the Innate Spiritual Treasure to protect my primordial spirit. Even so, my spirit is being gradually eroded. To this day, I have become deeply connected with the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice. If I leave, the corrosion will accelerate, which is why I dare not leave it.”

”My nemesis, with a vicious and unrelenting nature, having turned against me, will inevitably cut the grass to eliminate roots, targeting my daughter. So I suspect my daughter may already be dead, yet I cling to a one in ten thousand hope that she is still alive.”

”I, the Broken Heaven Pathist, am reclusive and obstinate. This disaster I face is normal. After all, in immortal cultivation, it is about victory and defeat. My daughter being implicated because of me makes my heart unwilling.”

”I hope you can uncover the truth of the past. If she is dead, so be it. If she is alive and safe, I hope to see her. If she is in danger, find a way to save her. This is my final wish.”

”Because my foe is a Quasi-Saint, I was afraid you might fear and refuse, so I didn’t dare to speak outright. But I assure you, I don’t want you to seek revenge for me, because I know that isn’t something you can achieve, moreover, the enmity of that battle back then was purely personal, I only lost, though it is regrettable, being technically inferior is nothing to complain about.”

Quasi-Saint?

Indeed, this matter is not simple!

Carson Flores had previously speculated this must be related to his downfall. Though he said it was to find his daughter, wasn’t the real cause still that Quasi-Saint?

If his daughter truly died, that would be somewhat better—knowing the result we can’t provoke, we hide. But if his daughter is not dead?

According to the account of the Broken Heaven Pathist, this rival was cruel and ruthless, eradicating the roots was standard action. If not dead, she might have already fled to some unknown Immortal Domain, impossible to find—that would be the best possible outcome. The worst and probably the most likely scenario is that the opponent captured his daughter, using her as leverage, should the Broken Heaven Pathist return, they would surely come knocking.

If you go looking, wouldn’t you just fall into their trap?

To stand against a Quasi-Saint face-to-face, isn’t that seeking death?

Carson Flores asked, ”Who is that Quasi-Saint?”

”The Thousand Demon Monarch Ferran Gibbs.”

The Broken Heaven Pathist replied, ”He’s called the Thousand Demon because he excels at controlling powerful demonic beasts. Under him are numerous powerful beasts. Some call him the Myriad Demon Monarch. He says there’s no Myriad, he doesn’t have that ability, but Thousand he does, hence the Thousand Demon Monarch.”

”Ferran Gibbs possesses exclusive secret techniques to manipulate demonic beasts, and he can even cultivate beasts to become increasingly powerful. He does not trust people, often saying that the human heart is complex and most difficult to guard against, whereas demonic beasts, though cunning, are much simpler than the human mind, making them far more trustworthy.”

”Carson Flores, if you can confirm my daughter’s life or death for me, if alive, find a way to save her. I see her one last time, and that fulfills my final wish. Once fulfilled, I can hand over the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice to you entirely, and all my savings, I’ll give entirely to you...”
