The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2450 Wasn't it you who caught him?

Fu Yunzi and the other three were fighting so fiercely that the heavens and earth seemed to tremble, when a sound came from the sky that startled everyone.

The Phoenix Fire Spirit has been captured and handed over to that important person?

Ghost Master's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Guo Cheng! Jiang Wenyun!"

In the blink of an eye, the three Guo brothers and the pale-faced Jiang Wenyun appeared in Ghost Master's line of sight.

When Ghost Master saw Jiang Wenyun, his brows furrowed immediately. It wasn't them?

Upon hearing that the Phoenix Fire Spirit had been captured, Ghost Master's first reaction was that Guo Cheng and the others had betrayed him, captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit, and then handed it over privately. However, seeing their terrified expressions, Ghost Master knew that he had probably misunderstood.

"Who captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit?"

Guo Cheng said with a bitter face, "I don't know. Jiang Wenyun used a magic weapon to freeze the Phoenix Fire Spirit. I only took a few seconds to dig out the Xuanbing, but the Phoenix Fire Spirit was no longer in the Xuanbing. It had already broken out of the ice."

Fearing that Ghost Master wouldn't believe him, Guo Cheng waved his hand, and the huge piece of Xuanbing flew over from a distance, hovering in mid-air.

Ghost Master frowned as he looked at the large hole beneath the Xuanbing ice: "You activated the magic weapon from below to seal the Phoenix Fire Spirit?"

Jiang Wenyun nodded hurriedly: "I was sure it was sealed properly, but I didn't expect the Phoenix Fire Spirit to be so powerful, able to break through the Xuanbing in such a short time..."

"It wasn't it that broke through the ice."

Ghost Master's facial muscles twitched slightly: "The ice my magic weapon can create wouldn't be this small... After sealing it, you left the underground?"

Jiang Wenyun nodded blankly: "Yes, I'll go up and tell Brother Cheng and the others to dig it out..."

Ghost Master subconsciously clenched his fist and glared fiercely at Jiang Wenyun: "While you were gone, someone underground made a move and melted at least half of the Xuanbing in a very short time, which allowed the Phoenix Fire Spirit to break out of the ice. And the other party captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit!"

Guo Cheng and the others were dumbfounded, and Jiang Wenyun turned deathly pale.

If he seals the Phoenix Fire Spirit and simply guards it, or does it himself, it might take longer, but it will prevent others from taking advantage of the situation.

I never imagined that besides myself, there would be someone else in this world who could use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through the earth).

Is this person hiding their true identity so well?

Having concealed itself for so long, it now launches a surprise attack at this crucial moment, successfully capturing the Phoenix Fire Spirit.

The thought that this person was about to gain freedom while he himself would be stuck here forever made Jiang Wenyun feel as if he were being bitten by a venomous snake.

Ghost Master glared fiercely at Guo Cheng and the others, wishing he could just reach out and kill them all. However, his superior had already ordered a halt to all fighting, and if he were to kill anyone, he would be disobeying his orders. Besides, even if he killed all four of them, it wouldn't change anything. "Go back!"

Ghost Master coldly said, "I'd like to see who's hiding so well!"

Not far away, Xuanhe, Lou Zihan, and Fuyunzi Liuyun had also joined up. They had naturally heard the conversation between Gui Zhenren and the others, and when they looked at each other, they saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Who else but Lin Chen could be a person who can burrow underground?

The fact that half a piece of ice melted away silently is clearly thanks to the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Mirror.

Lin Chen really did it!
Seeing Ghost Master's long face, Fu Yunzi, in a great mood, couldn't help but mock him: "Oh dear, how did the Phoenix Fire Spirit get captured by someone else? You all calculated and planned, but you didn't expect this."

Ghost Master coldly replied, "What are you so happy about? Others have captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit, but you can't go back. You can only stay with us and be a slave forever."

Fu Yunzi replied with a smile, "It's nothing. I'm happy to see you plan all this but fail."

Ghost Master looked at Fuyunzi, then at Liuyun and Xuanhe, and found that they all looked relaxed, even with a hint of malicious mockery. He was immediately filled with doubts.

What are they having so much fun about?

We can't even get out, what's there to be happy about?
A thought arose in Ghost Master's mind, and he subconsciously clenched his fist.

No way?
Could it be that the earth-遁者 who secretly captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit had already joined Fuyunzi's camp?

Are we holding them back, but they're also holding us back?

Ghost Master's face immediately darkened. Without asking any further questions, he turned and ran wildly towards the camp.

Even if it really was Fuyunzi and the others, the matter has now been settled. If I were to ask any further questions, I would only be humiliating myself. It would be better to go back to the camp, where the truth will naturally come out.

Fu Yunzi smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Let's go back too!"

When Ghost Master returned to the camp, he found it bustling with activity, with all the returning members gathered outside, discussing the matter.

Ghost Master grabbed a man and coldly asked, "Who captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit?"

The man was taken aback: "Wasn't it you? We were all guessing, everyone thought you were the ones who caught him..."
