The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 983 Did you think you had victory in the bag?

How did he escape from so many dead souls?

He successfully passed through the passage and arrived at this underground space. How did he escape from those undead guards?
Was he so lucky that the passage he chose had no undead guards at all?
An Ziwu remembered that Lin Chen looked back before falling into the horde of undead, and it seemed that their eyes met. Did he recognize him?
An Ziwu wasn't too afraid. After all, Lin Chen was all alone, and the four sects of Pengmen were present, as was the cave master. Even if Lin Chen had any ideas, what could he do?
How could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator possibly do anything to me?
Let him say whatever he wants, as long as you don't admit it.

Without evidence and since you can't beat them, you're doomed to suffer this loss!

The four celestial servants glanced at Lin Chen, then focused their attention back on what was in front of them.

He's just a lone kid, not worth paying attention to!

As for the crowd ahead, with so many powerful individuals, today will likely be difficult.

Tang Fenkong, the cave master of Kunlun Mountain, said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we have entered this place only to explore the secrets of Death Valley and find information about the Heavenly Array. We have no intention of fighting to the death with you."

"You are all geniuses from ten thousand years ago, and you are all our predecessors. We are all human beings, so what can't we discuss?"

Yan Chusheng gripped his black battle blade tightly and said in a deep voice, "We are ordered to guard this place. If you destroy the formation and take what we are guarding, we will be derelict in our duty and will be killed. So no matter what you say, we will not give way."

Ji Ruxue sneered, "What, do you think you've got victory in the bag just because you've gotten this far?"

The cave master of Xixuan Mountain shouted, "The four of you are all seriously injured and unable to fight anymore. Do you really think that these few undead guards can stop us?"

Ji Ruxue sneered, "These few? Do you think there are only a handful of them in the entire underground? We let you attack on purpose, just so we could wipe you all out in one fell swoop!"

Everyone's expression changed slightly.

The Supreme Elder of Mount Luofu asked, "You say you are here on someone's orders to guard this place. Whose orders are you on?"

The white-haired old man chuckled strangely, "Naturally, it's the destiny of an immortal. Do you think there's anyone in this world who can command us?"

Fairy!

The Supreme Elder of Cangshan Cave Heaven said in a deep voice, "You have guarded this place for ten thousand years, but the passage between the Desolate Realm and the Immortal Realm has been severed. What are you after?"

"What's the point? It's to ascend to immortality, of course!"

Yan Chusheng said coldly, "You're risking your lives to break in now, isn't it all for the same goal of ascending to immortality? We all have the same goal, just different methods."

Tang Fenkong asked, "You can live for ten thousand years and have such formidable strength, aren't you considered immortals?"

A fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Yan Chusheng's face. Were they immortals?

Calculate!
Are they immortals?

No!

They are merely celestial slaves!

A half-immortal with a long lifespan is still a step away from a true immortal. He has the lifespan of an immortal, but not the formidable strength of one.

If they were truly immortals, why would they need to fight so miserably?

The white-haired old man was clearly much thicker-skinned, and said coldly, "If we weren't immortals, how could we have lived for ten thousand years?"

Tang Fenkong asked, "Who is the immortal who gave you the orders? He shouldn't be in the Wilderness Realm, right? Is your purpose in becoming immortals just to stay here and act as guards?"

The white-haired old man replied, "This is the price of the exchange. When the time comes, we will naturally ascend to the Immortal Realm. If we stay here forever, what kind of immortals are we?"

Having said that, everyone should now have a general understanding of the current situation.

These four people did indeed come into contact with immortals, and may have even become immortals themselves, but the person who commands them now is far more powerful than them, so even if they become immortals, they still have to accept the fate of being guards here for ten thousand years.

This is the price.

The Supreme Elder of Chicheng Mountain Grotto asked, "Whose arm is that?"

Ji Ruxue coldly replied, "That's not something you need to worry about. What you need to worry about right now is your own lives..."

The black dragon beside him roared, "Why waste words with them? Summon the undead guards and kill them! Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area must die!"

The white-haired old man turned around and placed his palm on the altar, where a sudden surge of intense blood energy rose up.

As the blood-red light rippled, the sound of a giant creature running suddenly echoed through the passages, large and small.

Everyone's expression changed drastically. They originally thought that the undead guards they had encountered before had been almost completely wiped out, leaving only the few guarding the altar. But now it seemed that they were completely wrong!
We fought our way through so much hardship, and all we managed to do was wipe out the undead guards in this one passage!
There are countless passages here, each guarded by undead guards. The total number of undead guards would be terrifying!
