The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2429

The woman in red casually flicked her finger, and a point of red light landed on Ghost True Sage’s body.

Ghost True Sage had previously burned his life force attempting to shatter this realm, and was almost completely exhausted, but once the red light entered his body, his condition surprisingly improved rapidly.

Carson Flores withdrew his incarnation into the Ethereal Pagoda; since things had been said to this point, it naturally had to rely on real skill.

Carson did not rush to seek help from True Sage Grand Void, as this was his last resort and he would not employ it unless absolutely necessary.

He did not know the identity of the woman in red, only that she, like True Sage Grand Void, was a Quasi-Saint. Did True Sage Grand Void know her? Was she an enemy or an ally? Could he suppress her?

The many uncertain factors made this event full of variables.

Carson’s intuition told him that even if True Sage Grand Void intervened, it might not be possible to rescue themselves from the woman in red.

The woman in red knew the owner of Delarosa, knew Delarosa’s name, and said she was not an enemy, so in that case, this might be an opportunity.

As for the test mentioned by the woman in red, well, they would have to take it.

As a Quasi-Saint, if she really wanted to do something to them, she would do it directly; why would she need to beat around the bush?

Since there was an opportunity, why not try it? If they passed the test, they might get some additional benefits.

The woman in red glanced over everyone, smiled, and said, "Return to the place from earlier. I will open a teleportation gate. You go through it obediently, and do not play any tricks. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

With that, the woman in red vanished into the darkness in an instant.

The crowd exchanged glances; Floating Cloud broke the silence with a smile: "Things are better than we imagined, at least we won’t all be wiped out."

Flowing Cloud also consoled everyone: "As long as we’re alive, there’s hope. Besides, didn’t she say earlier that if we achieve her set goals, she can let us go?"

Floating Cloud turned towards the Ethereal Pagoda and asked, "Fellow Delarosa, you and her..."

Delarosa responded calmly, "I don’t know her. She won’t give me any face. You’ll have to rely on yourselves."

Floating Cloud slightly bowed, "Naturally, if not for Fellow Delarosa, she wouldn’t have given us any special consideration, offering us an opportunity. Regardless, we are already very grateful to Fellow Delarosa."

Ghost True Sage, who was previously extremely weak, noticeably rejuvenated after being treated with the red light, spoke slyly, "The heavens really favor me, I’ve survived again. You must be very disappointed!"

The group exchanged looks, all with somewhat subtle expressions.

At that time, Ghost True Sage had been almost killed by Floating Cloud and in despair desired to drag everyone to death together, but unexpectedly, the woman in red was unwilling to lose such a perfect laborer and actually used her holy hand to revive him.

Since the woman in red saved him and had spoken, no one dared to make a move against him at the moment; they could only pretend not to hear his sarcastic remarks.

Ghost True Sage sneered, "I’ve already died once; this life is borrowed. Let’s hope in the coming days you don’t give me a chance, otherwise, you’ll surely regret not having killed me completely in the tower beforehand!"

Floating Cloud responded calmly, "Wherever it may be, if I could kill you once, I can kill you a second time."

Ghost True Sage’s sneer instantly froze, and for a moment he couldn’t find any words to retort, merely snorting coldly and turning his head away.

As Ghost True Sage turned, he met the eyes of Daryth Loxley. As their eyes met, Daryth Loxley’s face changed dramatically, and he stepped back two steps.

Ghost True Sage sneered, "You are my good disciple, after all, bringing outsiders to kill your master. Daryth, you better hope you don’t fall into my hands; otherwise, I will surely take good care of you, just like your third senior brother."

Daryth Loxley’s body began to shiver slightly, his eyes filled with boundless fear, obviously, Ghost True Sage’s words triggered traumatic memories hidden in Daryth Loxley’s heart.

Daryth Loxley quickly moved to Carson Flores and Floating Cloud’s side, clearly prepared to cling to them for safety, refusing to give Ghost True Sage any chance to deal with him.

Floating Cloud did not reject his closeness either; although Daryth Loxley wasn’t exactly a good person and had done many bad things, at its root, he was forced by Ghost True Sage, making him somewhat sympathetic.

No more words were wasted; everyone headed straight to the previous location.

When the crowd arrived, a brilliant light gate had already appeared in the dark sky, so striking in the pitch-black night.

A dense group of adventurers gathered, led by Zauren, whom they had seen before.

Zauren, glowing all over, stood suspended in the air, addressing loudly, "I am Zauren, Supreme Elder of the Spirit-Separation Sect, part of the Ten-Thousand Immortals Hall - Twelve Immortal Gates. I request the Secret Realm owner to appear."

Zauren’s voice had just fallen when a cold and calm female voice resonated in the air, like thunder rolling through the Nine Heavens, echoing across the Secret Realm.

"In half a month, the Secret Realm will be destroyed. If you wish to live, enter the teleportation gate in the due north of the Secret Realm."
