The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2171 This is the best path for the Three Saints Sect!
Lei Hong's vision went black, and the scenery before him suddenly changed.

He felt as if he were at the bottom of an abyss, looking up at the sky, only to see a tiny patch of heaven, like the small opening of a well gleaming with sunlight.

Where is this?
This abyss, within the ancient tower...

Lei Hong was startled; this ancient tower actually contained its own world?
This ancient pagoda is amazing!

Lei Hong was about to transform into a streak of light and head towards the sky when he suddenly had an epiphany and abruptly turned his head to look behind him.

Deeper into the abyss, a massive black mass seemed to be surging, slowly approaching Lei Hong, accompanied by a terrifying aura that suddenly rose up.

Monster!

Lei Hong was taken aback. Fu Zongjing hadn't mentioned any demonic beasts; hadn't he said anything about some kind of opportunity?

what happened?

Could it be that the entrance landing point is random, and what he sees is different from what he sees?
Lei Hong wasn't particularly afraid. After all, he was at the Xiangxuan Realm. Even if there were demonic beasts, could they be stronger than him?
With that thought in mind, Lei Hong casually cast a light spell.

In the abyss, it was as if a small sun had risen, instantly becoming incredibly bright. Its light illuminated the abyss and also the enormous creature that was slowly approaching.

A towering black dragon head, exuding immense pressure, stared intently at him with its cold, dark eyes.

Ancient pagoda?

Black dragon?

A thought suddenly flashed through Lei Hong's mind: Wasn't this the ancient tower that Lin Chen owned?

Didn't Fu Zongjing say they were different?

Didn't he just come in? Didn't he encounter this black dragon?
How is this going?

"idiot!"

The Dark Ancestral Dragon stared at Lei Hong, whose eyes were filled with shock and confusion, and coldly uttered, "Don't you understand yet that you've been betrayed?"

Were you sold out?
Lei Hong was no fool. Reminded by the Dark Ancestral Dragon, he instantly became alert.

Think about how Fu Zongjing suddenly took the initiative to propose a plan to conquer the Thunder Immortal Realm and force Lin Chen out, and even offered to lead a team and ask to team up with him, so that he wouldn't be taken advantage of alone...

An ancient tower suddenly appeared in the wasteland...

He deliberately entered the ancient tower, then lured himself in with words...

He entered and exited the ancient tower without incident, and wasn't attacked by the black dragon, so... he and Lin Chen are in cahoots!

He betrayed himself!

This was all a trap set by Lin Chen and Fu Zongjing!

Lei Hong felt ice-cold all over.

He knew very well that since the other party had tricked him into the ancient tower, there must have been a foolproof plan inside, and it was unlikely that he could escape.

Despite his despair, Lei Hong was naturally not going to give up.

Wasn't it said that this black dragon was at the third level of cultivation?

I am no worse than him. Even if Fu Zongjing is added to the mix, I will be fighting two against one. Although I cannot win, I may still have a chance to escape!
Just as Lei Hong was calculating in his mind, the Dark Ancestral Dragon had already swung its huge dragon claws and swept towards Lei Hong, while coldly snorting, "You brat, always causing me trouble."

He had said he would help him deal with Yu Shoudao, but he hadn't said he would help him deal with anyone else. So he devised a way to lure them directly into the tower, where they landed right in front of him.

Since you're already here, just say whether you'll help or not. Even though the Dark Ancestral Dragon is cunning, ruthless, and vicious, he can't refuse such a small favor. After all, he's gained tremendous benefits by following Lin Chen all this way, and he'll need Lin Chen's help in the future.

Lei Hong unleashed his magic weapon and charged towards the dragon's claw.

"boom!"

Lei Hong's magical artifact was swept away like a toy, and then Lei Hong himself was also sent flying like a rag doll, spitting out a mouthful of blood, with countless bones broken in his body.

Lei Hong's body slammed into the rock wall of the abyss with a loud thud, smashing a huge hole in the wall.

Lei Hong felt as if his bones were about to shatter. He stared in horror at the colossal, mountain-like monster: "You're not a Xiangxuan Realm cultivator!"

The Dark Ancestral Dragon sneered, "The Profound Realm? That was before. Now I have recovered to the fifth level of perfection. If you know what's good for you, surrender quickly. Otherwise, I don't mind eating one more. Although the strength is a bit weaker, it is still somewhat useful."

Fivefold Perfection?
Lei Hong was dumbfounded and utterly shocked.

He was only at the third level before, and now, in just two or three years, he's already at the fifth level of perfection?

Finished!

He looked up and roared in frustration, "Fu Zongjing!"

Fu Zongjing's figure appeared in the sky, with Nangong Ye standing next to him.

Fu Zongjing touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Old Lei, I had no choice but to do this because of the circumstances. Please understand."

Lei Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you collude with Lin Chen and betray the sect?"

Fu Zongjing answered frankly, "We fell into Lin Chen's hands in the Heavenly River Secret Realm. We either surrendered or died. They were unwilling to undergo Nirvana Rebirth and their cultivation level dropped drastically. Why would I be willing? Do you, Lao Lei, want to?"

Lei Hong stared at Fu Zongjing in shock: "You guys?"

Fu Zongjing briefly recounted what had happened in the Heavenly River Secret Realm: "Old Lei, as you've seen, Senior Black Dragon has recovered his strength to the fifth level of perfection, no less than the sect master. Do you think the Three Saints Sect still has any hope of winning?"

Lei Hong fell silent.

He was shocked by everything, but the facts were already laid out before him.

The Three Saints Sect has no hope of victory.

He only had two paths before him: either die with the Three Saints Sect or surrender to Lin Chen.

Lei Hong remained silent for a moment, then coldly asked, "What is Lin Chen's purpose? He doesn't seem to be merely trying to stop us from attacking Thunder Immortal Realm..."

"Yes, he hopes that the Three Saints Sect can become a shield for the Thunder Immortal Realm. He not only wants to protect the Thunder Immortal Realm from our conquest, but also wants us to protect the Thunder Immortal Realm from being conquered by other forces. This is his ultimate goal."

really!

Lei Hong said coldly, "If he destroys the sect leader and controls us, he will become the new sect leader."

Fu Zongjing touched his nose, his expression slightly subtle: "He won't stay here for long. After dealing with the Three Saints Sect matters, he will go to the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. The Three Saints Sect will still be managed by us..."

Lei Hong had spent a lot of time with Fu Zongjing, and seeing his expression, he immediately guessed: "He wants you to be the new sect leader?"

Fu Zongjing nodded: "This is what he promised me: if you join us, our strength will be equal, I will be the head, and you will be the deputy, and we will manage the Three Saints Sect together."

“I know that doing this is somewhat unfair to the sect leader, but this is the best way out for the Three Saints Sect. It is because we surrendered that we are still alive, and those Pegasus Knights are still alive. Otherwise, do you think anyone could leave the Heavenly River Secret Realm alive?”

"Most importantly, even if we die, are reborn from the ashes, but our cultivation level drops drastically and we still don't know the truth, do you think we can stop him? Can we change the outcome of the whole thing?"
