The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2577 Are you two visitors from another region?
The sun was high in the sky, yet the bright sunlight was not felt; a dark fog shrouded the world, obscuring the light and leaving only hazy shadows.

Under the shroud of black mist, the world was shrouded in darkness, like the last haze before nightfall.

There was no bright sunshine, no clear blue sky, and no beautiful scenery.

This is the Western Prison, a world where the light of day is dim.

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan have been in the Western Prison for several days and are gradually getting used to the world that is shrouded in twilight.

Because of the unique environment of the Western Prison, a unique Netherworld race has been formed. They look similar to humans, but their skin is dark gray. Furthermore, due to the long-term absorption of demonic energy, even if they do not become demonic beasts, they will undergo some changes. Most of the people of the Western Prison have reddish eyes, are irritable, and will fight each other to the death if they disagree.

The people of the Western Prison are inherently hostile to other realms. This hostility probably stems from envy, jealousy, and hatred. Why can you live under the sunlight while we have to live in this dark world that is like hell?

The harsh living environment of the Western Prison not only forged the resilient character of its inhabitants but also provided them with many conveniences for cultivation.

The spiritual strength, or soul power, of the people of the Western Prison is much stronger than that of people from other realms. This results in their faster cultivation speed. At the same level, cultivators from the Western Prison are often stronger than those from the other three realms.

In the previous selection by the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals, the one who won first place was the prodigy of the Western Prison.

The Western Hell is shrouded in mist. To reduce skin contact with the mist, most of the Western Hell people wrap their bodies in strips of cloth like mummies, and then cover themselves with long robes, dressing similarly to the residents who have lived in the desert for a long time.

Since entering the Western Prison, the two have come into contact with some local residents. In the eyes of these ordinary people looking at Lin Chen and his companion, there is not only undisguised awe, but also the strongest emotion is envy.

This gaze gave Lin Chen the illusion that these ordinary people from the Western Prison were like citizens living in hell, looking up at visitors from heaven with both awe and envy.

As for hatred? Hostility?

Perhaps they have these feelings in their hearts, but as ordinary people, they dare not show them in the slightest.

Ordinary people openly hostile towards immortals?

Do you think you have a long life?
"There's a village ahead, let's go ask for directions..."

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan entered the Western Prison, but a large part of it was the border of the Western Prison, and there was no one around for thousands of miles. Low-level magical beasts, such as magical beast dogs, roamed the ground, searching for food.

They had encountered two villages before, and stopped to ask for directions, but they had not received any useful information.

Villages may be thousands of miles apart, and there are no gathering places for ordinary people with cultivators. How would they know about the outside world, or where the City of Netherfire is?

They didn't even know where the immortals lived. This was a remote area forgotten by the Western Hell.

The two had no choice but to continue westward, since the entire Western Prison was located to the west of the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, and heading west should be the right way.

This is a settlement of several hundred people, surrounded by a fence made of thick trees. This fence can keep out even the lowest-level magical beasts and protect the safety of the residents in the settlement.

"Excuse me, are there any immortal sects nearby? You mean sects for cultivators?"

Ordinary people have a very small range of activity and have no idea where they are. However, the range of activity of immortal cultivators' sects is naturally much larger. Once you find an immortal cultivator's sect, you can continue your search.

The old man, who was being questioned, replied with reverence, "We do not know where the immortal gate is, but about a thousand miles north of here, there is a very high mountain where immortals roam..."

"Thank you!"

After thanking the old man politely, Lin Chen gave him several bags of grain and a bottle of low-grade pills for treating external injuries, and then headed north.

A thousand miles can be covered in an instant.

Lin Chen released his divine sense and searched the mountains. He found a place hidden by an array, which was probably the immortal's cave that the old man had mentioned.

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan arrived in front of the formation. Lin Chen asked, "Is anyone here?"

The array was activated, light shone out from within, and then the sounds of women's laughter could be heard.

A middle-aged man with a black crown on his head appeared at the door, glanced at the two of them, and smiled gently.

"Judging from your attire, you two are from outer realms?"

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, we two came from the North Sea, but after entering the country, we had difficulty finding our way. After asking around, we found our way here and would like to ask you for directions. Is that convenient for you?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "My secluded place is in a remote area, and I rarely have guests, let alone friends from other regions. Since you're here, you're a guest. Please come in and have a drink, and we can chat slowly."

Lin Chen and his companion entered the formation, and the view suddenly opened up before them.
