The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2246 Invisible Strangulation, Man-Eating Forest

The male cultivator from Lingmiao Mountain and the female cultivator from Baique Sect exchanged a glance. The male cultivator said, "It was just a coincidence that we bumped into each other. We're just settling an old grudge."

The female cultivator snorted coldly, "Fine, let's fight! Who's afraid of you?"

Qi Wuchang smiled faintly: "Settle the score? Didn't find anything? Alright, I'll look for it. If I find anything, it'll be mine. Don't try to take it from me then."

The male and female cultivators both showed subtle changes in their expressions. They looked at each other again, and it seemed that in that instant, they reached some kind of tacit understanding.

The male cultivator said, "You can search anywhere; we won't interfere."

The female cultivator added, "I already said, it's just about settling old scores. What discovery did we make?"

Qi Wuchang made a move to fly down, and the couple looked at him with a slightly strange expression, but did not stop him.

Qi Wuchang was worried that the two would attack him together, so he kept an eye on them. Seeing that they did not stop him but instead had subtle expressions, he felt a chill and stopped flying down.

The male cultivator from Lingmiao Mountain laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, weren't you going to search carefully? Why did you stop? We didn't stop you."

Qi Wuchang smiled slightly: "With this swirling white mist, it's difficult to detect with divine sense, and it's not easy for me to search alone..."

Qi Wuchang turned his head and shouted towards the horizon, "Bingbing, bring them here."

The crowd, who had been watching from afar, quickly rushed over.

Qi Wuchang stretched out his finger and drew a circle over a large area below: "Search this area carefully, don't miss any corner."

"Yes!"

As Qi Wuchang spoke, his gaze fell on the couple, only to find that they still did not stop them, but their eyes held a rather subtle look, as if they were expecting something.

expect?

What are they expecting?
Qi Wuchang casually called out, "Bingbing, you stay."

Qi Bingbing was slightly taken aback, then obediently replied, "Yes."

Lin Chen was following the group into the white mist when he heard Qi Wuchang's words and subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

has a problem!
The two fighting men and women did not hinder the search; instead, they had expectant expressions that said, "You guys hurry up and search, I'm waiting." What does this mean?
Qi Wuchang had clearly sensed something was wrong, which was why he stopped her, not wanting her to take any risks.

Lin Chen felt a little uneasy. The two men and women were obviously also Great Luo Immortals. If they could make them feel wary, they must be no ordinary danger.

Lin Chen's body disappeared into the white mist. Under the cover of the mist, he silently summoned the Linglong Pagoda and then took out the golden ball that Zulong had given him earlier.

This golden ball is strong enough to withstand the Dark Ancestral Dragon's attacks for five minutes, so its defensive capabilities are naturally extremely powerful.

With double-layered strong protection, Lin Chen's courage immediately increased, and he carefully flew slowly close to the ground.

In the hazy white fog, several people slowly searched.

Suddenly, a disciple walking along a mountain stream took a step forward. It was as if some invisible fluctuation in the white mist trembled slightly. The disciple's protective magic treasure was instantly crushed, the barrier collapsed silently, and his body was directly torn into a cloud of blood mist in this silent fluctuation.

What's most surprising is that this disciple wasn't particularly far from the three powerful figures in the sky, yet they seemed completely oblivious, still intently staring down without the slightest reaction.

Lin Chen, unaware that a disciple ahead had died silently, continued walking slowly forward. Another disciple reached the foot of a mountain, only to encounter the same fate.

A silent ripple appeared in the air once more, and the disciple was silently crushed into a cloud of blood mist. The blood mist quickly dissipated into the surrounding white mist, as if it had never existed.

Soon, Lin Chen also arrived at the extension line of that invisible fluctuation. When Lin Chen took a step, he felt his body suddenly become empty.

There was solid ground in front of him, but Lin Chen's step seemed to step into thin air. His body tilted forward as if he had stepped into a bottomless hole.

An invisible shockwave instantly enveloped Lin Chen, and the terrifying shockwave instantly swarmed towards him. The golden ball in Lin Chen's arms reacted instantly, and a barrier suddenly appeared on Lin Chen's body.

The tremors continued, the color of the barrier thinned at a visible speed, and the barrier itself began to tremble involuntarily before silently exploding, along with the golden ball in Lin Chen's arms.

The moment the golden sphere was subjected to the pressure of the shockwave, the Linglong Pagoda reacted, and a golden light enveloped Lin Chen.

An invisible shock shattered the golden sphere, which then landed on the golden barrier released by the Linglong Pagoda. The barrier was no different from the one released by the golden sphere; its color quickly dimmed, and the barrier trembled violently with the shock before collapsing silently.

Although the golden sphere's barrier and the Linglong Tower's double-layered powerful barrier were silently crushed by the tremors, they bought Lin Chen a tiny bit of time.

Inside the Linglong Pagoda, a golden light fell upon Lin Chen. In the instant that the invisible shock enveloped Lin Chen, he disappeared from his original spot and entered the Linglong Pagoda.

The shockwave landed on the exquisite pagoda, producing a crisp sound.

The sound traveled directly through the white mist, reaching the sky and falling into the ears of the three powerful figures above.

Qi Wuchang's expression changed, and he waved his hand, creating a sudden gust of wind that instantly blew away the thick fog in the mountains, revealing the mountain scenery to him in an instant.

The place where he blew away the white mist was exactly where Lin Chen had made the sound, but the place was completely quiet, with no figures in sight and no signs of any battle.

Qi Wuchang frowned. How come there was no one there?
I clearly heard the sound coming from there, so where did the person go?
Qi Wuchang said in a deep voice, "Stop the search and come out."

Two figures leaped from the white mist, their faces showing a hint of confusion. Clearly, they didn't understand why the search, which had been going well, had suddenly stopped.

Qi Wuchang's expression suddenly changed.

Qi Bingbing's expression also changed, and her eyes revealed undisguised terror.

They all knew very well that there were a total of seven people who had followed Qi Wuchang before. Apart from Qi Bingbing, there were six others. One of them was killed by the venomous spray of the serpentine beast, and five others entered the white mist below. But now there were only two left.

Where are the other three people?

Where did they go?

Qi Bingbing's face was pale as she shouted, "Senior Brother Han, Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Zhou, come out quickly!"

No one responded!

The mountains were as quiet as ever, with no signs of battle, yet the three Void Realm cultivators had vanished without a sound, as if they had been silently devoured by the forest!

Qi Wuchang turned his head, his face cold as he looked at the man and woman opposite him, and said in a deep voice, "Shouldn't you tell me something?"
