The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2237 An Uninvited Guest Arrives Without Being Asked
"clang!"

"clang!"

As the bell tolled throughout the sect, countless disciples of Qingyuan City gathered from all directions on the huge square in front of the mountain gate.

Lin Chen and Bai Yunfei mingled in the crowd, and people kept greeting them. They smiled and responded but didn't say much.

With the expedition imminent, most people were quite excited. After all, exploring such an undeveloped secret realm offered many opportunities to obtain valuable items that would be difficult to acquire in the outside world with their own strength.

If you're lucky enough to obtain some high-level, valuable items, you can hand them over to the sect and exchange them for a huge amount of cultivation resources. You might even be able to exchange them for some special items to assist your cultivation and improve your strength or even your realm.

There are definitely risks involved; what doesn't involve risks?
Cultivating immortality is inherently a risky endeavor; countless people have been reduced to ashes during countless tribulations that break through realms.

If you want to get ahead, how can you do it without working hard?
Zhang Tianling, the city lord of Qingyuan City, flew out of the sect's main hall and delivered a speech to boost morale. Then, the head of the Zhanwu Hall announced the rules for rewards and punishments for this expedition, which were nothing more than the sect disciples must unite, prohibit internal fighting, killing and plundering, and how to punish those who were found to be fighting.

After announcing the rules, the sect leader also announced the special reward policy for this expedition, which included detailed rewards for the Void Lotus Grass and the Yin-Yang Spring. It was similar to what Qi Bingbing had mentioned before. In short, as long as you can get these two items, you can get generous rewards. Other items will be reviewed after being submitted, and the sect will give generous points as a reward. Then, disciples can use these points to exchange for the items they need.

Even if a cultivator joins a sect, the cultivation resources they can obtain each month are very limited. If they want resources, they have to work hard to earn them.

Upon hearing of such a reward, the disciples' eyes turned red with envy.

What is overnight success?
This is instant success!
With just a little bit of luck, becoming an inner disciple, or even becoming a disciple of a Great Luo Venerable, is within easy reach!

Immediately, all the disciples were excited and couldn't wait to rush into the secret realm and begin their search.

Qingyuan City clearly attached great importance to this expedition. Sect Master Zhang Tianling personally led the team, which set off towards the secret realm aboard several huge flying boats.

After several days of sailing, they arrived at their destination.

Amidst the mountains, white mist shrouded everything, and within this mist, a massive portal shone brightly—a teleportation gate forcibly constructed by a spatial master using spatial supernatural powers.

The flying boat landed, and all the disciples disembarked, quietly awaiting further instructions.

Zhang Tianling spoke in hushed tones with the sect elders guarding the area, inquiring about the current situation. However, more than ten giant ships appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching. "Sect Master, flying ships!"

Zhang Tianling's face darkened, and he leaped into the air, his expression turning ashen as he looked at the approaching flying boat.

He could tell who the other party was from the flags flying on the fleet. Who else could it be but Lingmiao Mountain and Baique Sect?

He had originally intended to use the negotiation as a pretext to stall them, but he did not expect that they would arrive just in time, which was obviously the work of an inside agent.

Zhang Tianling, with a cold face, leaped into the air and blocked the mountain peak.

The fleet quickly approached and then stopped in front of Zhang Tianling, lined up in a row, with the left half of the flying boats belonging to Lingmiao Mountain and the right half belonging to Baique Sect.

"Lord Zhang, it's been a long time! How have you been? Haha!"

With a hearty and triumphant laugh, a burly figure rose from the giant ship of Lingmiao Mountain. It was none other than Zhao Shirong, the master of Lingmiao Mountain. At the same time, a graceful figure also flew up from the giant ship on the other side. It was a charming and beautiful middle-aged woman who still retained her charm. It was Qi Huayu, the sect master of Baique Sect.

Zhang Tianling said coldly, "Zhao Shirong and Qi Huayu, what does it mean that you two have come together?"

Qi Huayu of the White Magpie Sect smiled slightly: "City Lord Zhang, you are asking a question you already know the answer to. We are here naturally hoping to help with the exploration of the secret realm. After all, the secret realm is vast, and your Qingyuan City alone cannot fully explore it."

Zhang Tianling sneered, "We discovered this secret realm, exhausted all kinds of resources, and finally built a teleportation gate to open up the passage to the secret realm. We are fully capable of exploring the secret realm, so we won't trouble you."

Zhao Shirong of Lingmiao Mountain smiled and said, "City Lord Zhang, you're treating us like outsiders. We all know that you've lost several Grand Luo Immortals while exploring the secret realm, which means you need help."

Zhang Tianling's expression was cold: "What if I insist that I don't need help?"

Zhao Shirong sighed: "This secret realm is also within the sphere of influence of our Lingmiao Mountain and Baique Sect. To be honest, we discovered this secret realm a long time ago, but we have been making preparations. However, your Qingyuan City beat us to it and now wants to occupy it all by yourself. Our Lingmiao Mountain and Baique Sect are not willing to accept that..."
