The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2444 If I kill you, the Phoenix Fire Spirit will be mine.

"The Phoenix Fire Spirit was in the valley ahead. I hadn't gotten very close when the bell rang, so I immediately stopped."

Everyone stopped, and Ghost Master instructed, "Fellow Daoist Meng and I will intercept Fuyunzi and Liuyun. Jiang Wenyun will approach from underground first, and Guo Cheng, the three of you will go from above to surround Phoenix Fire Spirit."

"If the Phoenix Fire Spirit escapes underground, Jiang Wenyun, try to get as close to it as possible and activate the magic weapon I gave you. A huge area will be frozen into ice. The Phoenix Fire Spirit will be sealed in the ice and will not be able to escape for a short time. You just need to stay in place and then notify us."

Guo Cheng and the others all nodded and were about to take action when Ghost Master gave the four of them a sinister look, waved his hand, and four black pills flew towards them respectively.

"To make sure you don't have any ulterior motives, I'm asking everyone to take a pill. If you try to take the Phoenix Fire Spirit and run away, you won't make it to the camp, and you'll lose your lives."

Guo Cheng and the others' expressions changed drastically; they were being asked to take poison.

Ghost Master coldly added, "Don't worry, once you get the Phoenix Fire Spirit, I will give you the antidote. If you don't take it, it means you already had designs on it..."

The Ghost Master didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning behind it was crystal clear.

If you don't eat, then you have ulterior motives.

If you harbor disloyal thoughts, then there's no point in living!

Guo Cheng and the others felt bitter inside, but they also knew that they had no room for resistance.

Since the Quasi-Saint has lifted the ban, even if Ghost Master kills me here, I will not be punished. If I die, it will be a pointless death!

Left with no other choice, Guo Cheng and the others swallowed the pills.

Ghost Master watched as Guo Cheng and the others swallowed the pills, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

If they can actually get out, wouldn't these three people just be perfect tools?

It just so happens that the last disciple has already betrayed them, and there's no one left to serve them.

"Alright, we'll hold them off. You guys get to work, and hurry up, don't let the Phoenix Fire Spirit get away!"

Ghost Master didn't say what would happen if Phoenix Fire Spirit ran away, but everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Ghost Master is a ruthless demon who kills without blinking an eye. We even took the poison he gave us. If Phoenix Fire Spirit escapes this time, perhaps our last bit of value will be gone, and there will be no point in living.

Jiang Wenyun landed on the ground, used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape from underground), and instantly disappeared from the ground, approaching the canyon ahead. Guo Cheng and the other two waited a few breaths, estimating that Jiang Wenyun had approached from underground, before rushing towards the valley. Fu Yunzi and the others were not far away, but did not rush over to make a move.

Since Lin Chen had also already infiltrated underground and was approaching from the ground, if they acted too early and scared away the Phoenix Fire Spirit, no one would benefit.

Ghost Master and the middle-aged man surnamed Meng turned around and sneered, "Even if you catch up, it won't do you any good. You can forget about getting the Phoenix Fire Spirit!"

Fu Yunzi calmly said, "Kill you, and the Phoenix Fire Spirit will be mine sooner or later!"

Ghost Master sneered, "In a one-on-one fight, I might not be your weaker opponent, but in a two-on-two fight, you might not have the upper hand."

Fu Yunzi's gaze fell on the middle-aged man: "Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to get involved in this matter?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Since I have a chance to regain my freedom, I naturally have to fight for it. Besides, that place doesn't allow infighting. I haven't fought in a long time, and my whole body is itching. Today is a good day to loosen up my muscles."

Liu Yun said, "If you ally with Ghost Master, the outcome is uncertain. But if you ally with us, victory will surely be ours. We have fewer people than them, so isn't the probability of being allowed to leave much higher?"

Ghost Master's pupils suddenly contracted. It has to be said that Liu Yun's words were truly "heart-piercing".

Fu Yunzi and Liu Yun are fellow disciples, so they are naturally allies who can rely on each other without worry. Although he recognized Meng Hui and tried to recruit him, there was no real unity between him and Meng Hui.

If Meng Hui were to join forces with Fu Yunzi and others for the sake of freedom, the probability would indeed be much higher, practically 100%.

Ghost Master was also a little nervous for a moment. After all, what does an alliance mean in the face of freedom?
Will Meng Hui betray us?
His strength is no less than mine; if he really wants to betray the camp, I have no way to deal with him.

Faced with Liu Yun's invitation, Meng Hui smiled and said, "I have committed many evil deeds and dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with you righteous masters. Besides, I am also very curious about just how powerful the number one expert of the Dragon Mountain Sect is. Now that we have run into each other, how can I miss this opportunity?"

Liu Yun frowned slightly. Since winning them over didn't work, then fighting was the only option.

We are all top-tier Grand Luo Immortals, all big shots who care about face. We invited you once, and since you refused, then let's fight. Who's afraid of who?

Moreover, Fu Chenzi and Liu Yun both knew that whether they won or not was not important; all they needed to do was to completely restrain the people on the land surface.

Fu Yunzi's gaze was cold: "Since that's the case, then let's give it a try."
