The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2317 Heavenly Fire Descends, Can It Be Stopped?
Lin Chen wasn't afraid of the Illusion Moon Sect, since his goal was only to save Mi Xiaowan, not to kill their young sect leader, Lin Yuanyi.

To the Illusion Moon Sect, Mi Xiaowan was just a plaything that Lin Yuanyi casually asked for; her life or death was of no importance.

The following days passed peacefully, without any unexpected events.

When Ziyun had free time, she would go to Mi Xiaowan for tea and a chat, and their relationship quickly became familiar. However, Lin Chen had never contacted Mi Xiaowan, which reassured Fang Shan'an a lot.

He was conflicted. He didn't want Mi Xiaowan to be sent to the Illusion Moon Sect and suffer misfortune, but he had no choice. He even had to harden his heart and cut off any possibility of Mi Xiaowan escaping, all so that he could send her into Lin Yuanyi's hands.

Lin Yuanyi said that if Mi Xiaowan didn't deliver it, then all agreements would be null and void.

The Wind and Snow Sect cannot afford to offend the Illusion Moon Sect.

The Illusion Moon Sect has more than 100 Grand Luo Immortals, and even some at the peak of the Grand Luo Immortal realm, while the Snowstorm Sect only has one Grand Luo Immortal, and he is only at the first level of the Grand Luo Immortal realm. The Illusion Moon Sect could easily destroy the Snowstorm Sect by sending anyone.

Even if they know the other party is using this as an excuse to extort money, what can they do?
Why did they accidentally kill one of the inner disciples?

They were in the wrong and couldn't win the fight, so offering only compensation was already a very lenient approach in the dog-eat-dog world of immortals.

Fang Shan'an knew that Mi Xiaowan had told Ziyun the truth, and he also knew that Ziyun sympathized with Mi Xiaowan. He did not stop the two from dating. In his opinion, this might be the last bit of happiness for Mi Xiaowan.

"We've been on the ship for two months already, how much longer will we have to wait?"

"We're almost there. We've covered most of the journey. Once we get through the storm zone, the speed will be much faster. I estimate we'll reach the coast in about two weeks."

Lin Chen casually asked, "Sea storm zone, what's that?"

Chen Youdong explained, "The weather in storm zones is unpredictable, with frequent sudden storms, tsunamis, and other severe conditions. If a ship encounters these special circumstances, the possibility of sinking increases, making it a high-risk area for navigation."

Lin Chen nodded: "How long will it take to cross the storm zone?"

Chen Youdong replied, "It depends on luck. If we're lucky and don't encounter any bad situations, we can probably cross over in seven or eight days. But if we encounter bad situations, the time will be greatly extended."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Even if we encounter bad weather, with a Great Luo Immortal in charge, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, he's the kind of person who can freeze the ocean completely."

Chen Youdong laughed and said, "Yes, that's the sense of security you get from riding a first-class ship. If it were a different ship, even a first-class ship, the guards on board might not be able to handle an extremely dangerous situation."

The Neptune entered the storm zone, and after half a day, the situation at sea began to worsen. Gale-force winds howled, giant waves surged, and the sky grew increasingly gloomy, as if storm clouds were churning low above the sea, creating a profound sense of oppression.

Even though the Neptune was like a fortress, it began to lose its balance and started to sway under the huge waves, and the swaying became more and more intense.

Just as many passengers began to panic, a guard flew out to the side where the giant wave was coming from, and used his magic weapon to directly shatter the giant wave.

The giant wave was shattered, and although there was still violent surging of seawater, it could no longer cause any damage to the fortress-like Neptune, and the fluctuations of the Neptune immediately decreased.

Man-made waves!

I have to say, this immortal is really useful.

The immortal guards of the Mountain and Sea Sect's Battle Sea Hall took turns attacking, shattering one towering wave after another, escorting the Sea King to brave the wind and waves and move forward.

Watching the guards on the Neptune skillfully escort the ship, everyone's fear of nature quickly dissipated.

With a supreme immortal protecting us, what's there to be afraid of?

However, on the fourth night after entering the storm zone, the attack suddenly struck again in an unparalleled and domineering manner.

The dark sky was suddenly illuminated by the firelight.

One after another, enormous iron spheres gleaming with metallic luster appeared in the air, descending from the heavens at an terrifying speed, piercing through layers of thick dark clouds, and abruptly appearing above the Neptune, crashing down upon it at breakneck speed.

Each of these enormous iron balls was covered with countless spikes. They trailed long fiery tails in the air, like shooting stars, and slammed heavily onto the barrier.

Each iron ball is at least hundreds of meters in diameter and its weight is unknown. Under such high-speed impact, each one contains terrifying energy.

The barrier is very sturdy!
Even such a terrifying impact, like a comet hitting a planet, failed to break through this incredibly powerful barrier.

The sharp spikes on the iron ball struck the barrier, then twisted under the impact of the enormous kinetic energy, and finally snapped with a crack.

The massive iron ball, now freed from the protection of numerous spikes, slammed directly onto the barrier and exploded with a deafening roar.
