The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 994 If it were you, would you refuse?

A white jade platform, massive bronze pillars, and ancient and mysterious array patterns.

All of this was cleaved in two by a devastating blow. Not only that, the blow also tore the earth apart, creating a bottomless canyon.

What kind of power could cause such a terrifying blow?
"Is the immortal who broke through the Heavenly Array the same person who ordered you to guard this place?"

The white-haired old man shook his head: "I don't know. When we arrived here, the Heavenly Array was already like this. I wonder if it was the work of that person?"

Tang Fenkong frowned and said, "Aren't you all curious? This is the passage to ascension. Don't you all want to ascend to immortality?"

The white-haired old man smiled bitterly and said, "We are just following orders. What right do we have to ask questions? That person doesn't like us asking too many questions."

"You celestial servants are truly loyal!"

The white-haired old man said coldly, "The Heaven-Reaching Array has been destroyed, and the passage between the Desolate Realm and the Immortal Realm has been severed. The people of the Desolate Realm can no longer ascend to immortality. If we hadn't agreed to become immortal slaves, we would have already turned into skeletons. How could we have the chance to listen to your mockery here?"

The white-haired old man paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his words mocking: "You mock me, saying I'm a slave to immortals, but ask yourselves honestly, if an immortal descended now and gave you two choices—either kill you or grant you ten thousand years of life, allowing you to ascend to immortality in the future, but at the cost of being slaves for ten thousand years—how many of you would refuse?"

Many Void Realm experts were mocked by the white-haired old man, but they looked at each other speechlessly.

Yes, they mock others, but deep down they envy them too.

They lived ten thousand years ago, yet they are still alive and well!
If that immortal truly keeps his promise, then after guarding the area for ten thousand years, they will be able to ascend to immortality. Who here wouldn't envy that?
They risked their lives to enter Death Valley, wasn't it all in search of immortality?
The group searched the white jade platform but found nothing of note.

Although everyone used the recording stone to photograph all the details of the formation, they all knew that this was only the surface and did not mean that simply copying the formation would allow them to re-establish the passage between the two worlds.

To establish a passage, at the very least, you need the approval of the Celestial Realm!
Looking back carefully, this attack on Death Valley resulted in the deaths of many people and the loss of a large number of magical artifacts, but there was practically nothing gained.

Although the secret of Death Valley has been solved, no one has gained any real benefit, because the biggest benefit is that the immortal's arm has flown away! Although they have captured a half-immortal, they feel that he is a hot potato. If his master comes and really wants to stand up for him, who can withstand it?
With mixed feelings, the group began their evacuation, eventually returning to their previous cultivator camp.

After discussing for a while, the many sect leaders dispersed. As for the white-haired old man, he was jointly guarded by the three tribulation-crossing elders.

They only have three months to live anyway, and after three months they must enter the ascension process. However, the passage between the two realms is not yet open, and the Wilderness Realm cannot form the seal of immortal spiritual energy, so the ascension is destined to fail.

Failure means death!
Before leaving, Lin Chen quietly went to see Chen Meifeng.

Chen Meifeng looked at Lin Chen, her eyes full of smiles.

Lin Chen bowed respectfully and asked, "Sect Leader Chen, now that I have killed An Ziwu, will Penglai consider me an enemy, and fight me to the death?"

Chen Meifeng smiled and said, "Guo Ruhai of the Diyuan Sect may hate you to the bone, and he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to deal with you. However, in the end, it was An Ziwu who harmed you first, so Guo Ruhai does not dare to openly cause trouble for you. After all, your master and your senior brothers are not to be trifled with."

“With An Ziwu dead, Jiaxue will naturally become the new Child of Penglai. She was no worse than An Ziwu to begin with, but she lost because of her age. Moreover, she cultivated the Heart Sutra of the Maiden of Enchantment very smoothly. It was practically tailor-made for her. Given time, she will definitely be more powerful than An Ziwu.”

"Because of Jiaxue, my Xuanfeng Sect and you are naturally considered to be on the same side. The other two sects are none of our business and will not offend you. So, you only need to be careful of the people from the Diyuan Sect."

“An Ziwu’s father, An Kaicheng, is an elder of the Diyuan Sect, with strength at the mid-stage of the Void Realm. An Ziwu is his only son, so he will definitely not let this go. Be careful in your daily life and don’t let him get away with it. Just give them the opportunity to deal with you.”

Lin Chen asked worriedly, "Won't they take their anger out on Jia Xue? After all, everyone knows about my relationship with Jia Xue."

Chen Meifeng smiled and said, "After I return, I will go to see the Cave Master to formally confirm Jiaxue's status as the Son of Penglai. With the Cave Master protecting her, who in Penglai would dare to lay a hand on her? Besides, for the future of my Xuanfeng Sect, I will do everything in my power to protect her safety, so you don't need to worry about that..."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble Sect Leader Chen. Jiaxue is my wife. If anyone bullies her, no matter who they are, I will take their life!"
