The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3284 A Little Guy Who Was on the Mind of a Sage

“That’s a solution!”

The Shadow Saint sat cross-legged there, and all anyone could see was a dark shadow. The shadow was like a black hole, attracting the surrounding light and making it impossible to see his true face.

"But each crystal pillar is a mother, nurturing a demon with the power of a lord. We can certainly move the battlefield to the world they've transformed, or launch a surprise attack to completely destroy those crystal pillars, but what if those demons are released? What do we do then?"

Everyone fell silent for a while.

There are over a hundred demons whose strength rivals that of saints. Who can defeat them?

The Great Wilderness Sage smiled gently: "I think things aren't as bad as we imagine..."

The Immortal Emperor's gaze fell upon the Great Wilderness Sage's face, and he calmly asked, "What do you mean?"

The Great Wilderness Sage said in a relaxed tone, "Each crystal pillar is a mother, nurturing a sleeping demon within. The demon's strength is comparable to that of a sage, isn't that right?"

The Demon Emperor snorted, "Nobody's deaf. Just say what you have to say, stop keeping me in suspense!"

The Great Wilderness Sage gently tapped his knee: "These words were spoken to us by the Demon Lord himself, so these words are the biggest loophole!"

The Great Wilderness Saint's voice rose a few decibels: "If they really possess hundreds of demons comparable to saints, then why are they still holding out against us? Just release them! Hundreds of lord-level demons, and we only have a few people, who can stop them?"

"This is something anyone could think of, but why don't they do it? It can't be because they have pity on us, can it?"

"There is only one answer: they have no way, or rather, they cannot release these hundred sleeping demons. I am assuming that there is really such a powerful demon in each crystal pillar."

"Did you notice any difference between the demon that emerged from the crystal pillar and those demon lords?"

The sages could clearly recall everything that happened on the battlefield, and with keen insight, when they heard the Great Wilderness Sage ask such a question, they immediately searched their memories and soon discovered the clues.

The Primordial Saint's tone became more excited: "He seems like a mad beast, full of aggression. Although he has powerful combat strength, he doesn't seem to be very bright."

The Demon Emperor's eyes gleamed: "During the battle, those lords seemed to deliberately avoid his side. When we finally stopped fighting, they had the demon surrounded, with Lord Aojue standing behind him. The demon was still very agitated, like a mad dog, ready to attack the lords..."

At this point, everyone suddenly understood.

Shadow Saint said in a deep voice, "It is true that there is a sleeping demon in the mother body. This demon's strength is comparable to that of a saint, which should also be true. However, this awakened demon is full of aggression and may attack anything that gets close to it, including even the abyss demon race itself!"

The Immortal Emperor pondered, "The demon is conceived, but it also maintains the operation of the mother body. Perhaps in this process, some changes will occur that we do not understand. The final result is that after the demon awakens, it will not recognize its own family. Even the lords can only suppress it, but cannot command it normally." "Because of this, although there are so many mother bodies that have conceived so many abyssal demons, because of their uncontrollability, the demon lords dare not release them and can only treat them as guardians of the crystal pillars."

The Immortal Emperor paused, glancing at the four sages around him: "If that's the case, what would happen if all these crystals were broken and all these demons were awakened?"

No one answered for a moment, each pondering the answer to the question.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at Mu Tianjun and the others, and smiled, "You are all free to speak your minds."

Mu Tianjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps we don't even need to break all the crystal pillars. If we break a part of them, the demons inside will awaken and attack wildly. They might even destroy the entire incubation world, which would be a favor to us. What we need to do is hunt down these awakened demons one by one."

"Although they are powerful, they are irrational and will not form alliances. They may even fight each other. As long as the battlefield is still in the Sacred Heart Immortal Realm, even if the entire Sacred Heart Immortal Realm is completely destroyed, as long as this matter can be contained and the Abyss Demons can be eliminated, all the price will be worth it."

Mu Tianjun paused, his voice tinged with worry: "The biggest problem now is the unknown. We can't be sure what the outcome will be if we break the crystal pillars and release them all. What I just described was only the best-case scenario. What if there are other outcomes?"

"For example, when a demon first awakens, it will go berserk and not recognize people, but after a period of time, the demon lords have a way to restore its sanity or make it clear-headed. Or, do the abyss demons have an endless supply of crystal pillars?"

"I think what we need to do most right now is to thoroughly understand the message behind this. Only by fully understanding it can we formulate the right strategy. If we rely on gambling, we may not be able to afford the final result."

Mu Tianjun's words sounded like he said something and then didn't, sometimes wanting to break the silence and sometimes not wanting to, but that's the reality now.

No one knows what the consequences will be after breaking those crystal pillars and releasing a bunch of demons.

The mysterious Lord of the Abyss has yet to show himself; who knows what other powerful moves he might have in store?

The Great Wilderness Sage supported Mu Tianjun's argument: "I support what he said. What we need to do now is not to fight, but to find out what will happen after these demons are released. However, it will not be easy to gather information. After all, only the lords probably know the most about these things, and it is absolutely impossible for us to get accurate and true information from them."

After a pause, the Great Wilderness Sage's gaze fell on the Immortal Emperor's face: "Currently, only the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord has ventured deep into the Demon Realm. He might know something about Xiao Xi. If he can return, he might be of help to us."

The Immortal Emperor calmly replied, "He fell into the hands of the Enchantress Lord and his strength was sealed. How could he possibly come back? Even if I wanted to rescue him, it would be impossible. I don't even know where they are hiding."

The Great Wilderness Sage smiled slightly: "I heard that there is a little fellow who is cultivating in a magic treasure carried by the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord. The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord's strength is sealed, but that little fellow is not. There might still be a chance for things to turn around."

The Immortal Emperor's gaze flickered slightly, and before he could ask, Mu Tianjun beside him exclaimed in surprise, "Lin Chen?"
