The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

"One-tenth is too little, it doesn’t fully express my gratitude. Let’s make it two-tenths. It’s decided, Kaelen, don’t refuse."

Raelith Rhodes looked resolute, giving Carson Flores no chance to refute, directly settling the matter: "It’s decided. We will exchange elixirs. Prepare yourself, we’ll set out together early tomorrow morning."

Carson Flores clasped his hands in gratitude, "Then I must thank you both."

Raelith Rhodes waved his hand, "When out in the world, rely on friends. It’s easier with more friends, don’t worry about it, let’s go!"

After Raelith Rhodes and Maedryn Cobb left, the smile on Carson Flores’ face disappeared, and he furrowed his brows slightly.

Since they sought me out first, let’s bring this to a conclusion.

As long as there are enough Crystal Scorpions in the Land of Demonic Qi, I can earn a wave of points, help Nerisse Blaine achieve her goal, and then I can retreat completely.

The night passed without a word.

The next morning, Carson Flores met up with Raelith Rhodes and Maedryn Cobb, and the three of them headed towards the Land of Demonic Qi.

"Kaelen, since we’re teaming up, let’s share our abilities with each other, mentioning what each of us excels at. This way, we can coordinate and maximize our combat power. After all, Crystal Scorpions are social creatures; finding one indicates there’s likely a nest nearby..."

Carson Flores had everything planned out. Without hesitation, he responded, "I practice Sword Dao, nothing special in Divine Skills, just the normal Sword Domain..."

Besides Sword Dao, Carson Flores could pretend to have the Five Elements Path of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, but his cultivation techniques were all Top Tier, each linked to a Sect. If he were to showcase them and be recognized, his identity as a Loose Cultivator would be instantly exposed.

The Primeval Myriad Sword Art from Immortal Gathering Island, the Divine Spring Myriad Wood Technique from Dragon Mountain Sect, the Ancient Profound Water Technique from the Abyssal Sect, the Sun True Scripture from the Sun Divine Palace, and the Sand Dragon Illusion God Technique from the Illusory Snake Sect, none could be revealed.

Carson Flores had a Sword Bone, previously practiced the Three-foot Sword Veil, combined with the Sky Sword Five Forms, and now he practiced the Primeval Myriad Sword Art. His practice of Sword Dao was very stable and absolutely wouldn’t expose him.

Sword Dao?

Stable!

Sword Dao emphasizes entering the way through the sword, the simplest and most straightforward method, not fancy at all. It focuses on one sword breaking ten thousand techniques, but because of this, the high or low Realm greatly impacts combat power.

Since Carson Flores practices Sword Dao, and his power is only that of a Great Land Fairy in the Triple Realm, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Once I act, he’s dead for sure, with no chance to escape!

"Alright, I practice the Water Path, nothing special in Divine Skills, just Water Domain, controlling water..."

Raelith Rhodes’ Water Path Divine Skills didn’t surprise Carson Flores at all. After all, the Abyssal Sect’s highest cultivation technique was the Ancient Profound Water Technique, and only those with Water Attribute Divine Skills could practice it. Unfortunately, only Niall Sinclair in the entire Sect succeeded in practicing it.

If Raelith Rhodes saw me exhibiting the Ancient Profound Water Technique, I wonder what expression he would have?

Carson Flores’ gaze shifted to Maedryn Cobb. Maedryn Cobb frowned as if reluctant to speak, but after hesitating, he finally said, "Metal Path, Divine Skill is the Hand of Gold."

Raelith Rhodes explained, "Cobb has a mysterious background, accustomed to close combat with Demonic Beasts since childhood. His hands are his most powerful weapon. After understanding Divine Skills, his hands became indestructible, stronger than magical treasures, so he prefers close combat against enemies. Even Barrier magical treasures struggle to withstand his hands."

Carson Flores’ eyes brightened, this Divine Skill was impressive.

With a Sword Bone, his bones were tempered harder than steel, but ultimately, it was a hardness achieved through repeated tempering. However, Maedryn Cobb’s Divine Skill manifested in his hands, making them comparable to a magical treasure.

What if his hands encounter my Sword Bone, which would hold up better?

"My power is much weaker than yours, but I’ll fully cooperate, follow your instructions, and not act recklessly..."

Carson Flores sincerely expressed himself as if he were a novice being guided, to which Raelith Rhodes smiled and responded, "As long as you don’t wander off and end up alone in a Crystal Scorpion nest, you should be safe, don’t worry."

Carson Flores nodded repeatedly, "Alright, I will follow orders."

Raelith Rhodes noticed Carson Flores’ docile demeanor and inwardly sneered, thinking that although he knew his place, he had provoked the wrong people.

The three flew swiftly, soon reaching the Land of Demonic Qi mentioned by Raelith Rhodes.

Hovering in mid-air, Carson Flores looked down at the land shrouded in black mist, surprised, "Such dense Demonic Qi, could the Starry Sky Magical Beast still be here?"

Raelith Rhodes laughed, "If it were here, with so many people coming and going in the Land of Demonic Qi, how could it remain unreactive? It’s likely a place where a Starry Sky Magical Beast lingered for a long time. Look at the terrain here, towering mountains surround this area, forming a basin. The thick Demonic Qi settles close to the ground, leading to this appearance over time..."
