The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1775: Clash Once More

"It doesn’t matter, no matter who it is, they must be eliminated. Go and prepare, Xue Ming, Limei, you both go along too," Chen Yuxin ordered softly.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Feng Ling led the members of the Shadow Organization, hiding in a blind spot around a corner, waiting for the people behind to arrive.

"Quick, they’ve left, let’s hurry and follow."

"Okay."

The group followed for a while, worried about being discovered. The Ghost followed from a distance, unable to stay too close.

"Ghost, do you really think this is a shortcut? I feel something’s off," the Demoness said, looking around with a faint sense of unease, "The direction we’re heading seems off, like we’ve veered off course, and we’re surrounded by dense forest."

"Yes, I also feel something is not right. It seems like we’re not heading up the mountain, but taking another route," Nightmare also sensed something amiss, and being sensitive to direction, he confirmed that they were going the wrong way.

"Everyone, be careful and stay alert to any changes around us."

*Whoosh.*

"Who goes there," suddenly a dart flew over, and Nightmare swung his halberd to deflect it.

"Seems you’re not entirely foolish," a female voice came from the shrubbery to the side. Feng Ling slowly emerged, although she hadn’t interacted much with them, everyone was well aware of Feng Ling’s strength, the leader of the Shadow Organization’s ’Four Seasons,’ ranking above in prowess, not inferior even to Ye Shikai of that time.

"Feng Ling, it’s actually her," Ghost murmured.

"You all really are like lingering ghosts, the master doesn’t want to annihilate you completely, yet you insist on following," suddenly, people appeared from all directions. Xue Ming and Limei were among them. In the blink of an eye, members of the Three Temples were surrounded. After the Main God Conference, the strength of the Three Temples had severely diminished. The War God Temple was destroyed, and the Moon God Temple and Netherworld Palace had nearly abandoned their foreign territories, with significant personnel loss. Most crucially, Ye Shikai and Ji Qian were not present.

"Haha, I thought Chen family’s daughter would look after her trusted aides, but didn’t expect she sent you to your death! Oh well, I usually don’t hit women, but you all are an exception," Wang Kai sneered.

"Come, if it’s a fight you want, then fight, no need for all this talk," the Demoness also stepped forward.

"Hmph," Feng Ling suddenly charged forward, twin blades stabbing at Wang Kai.

"Came so quickly," Wang Kai kicked back several meters, thrusting a spear in return, though an inch longer an inch stronger, Feng Ling was no simple opponent, her speed was almost equal to Ye Shikai’s.

"You woman, quite the looker, but quite the temper too, let me see what you can do," Wang Kai sneered, as Feng Ling launched another attack without saying a word.

"Everyone, take action."

At the Heavenly Chasm, after being repelled by the cultivator families, those monsters seemed afraid and stayed hidden within the abyss, not daring to emerge, even the original pulling force had vanished.

Seizing this opportunity, the families all crossed the Chasm. Though the distance of nearly a hundred meters was a bit of a strain, without obstruction, it was not impossible.

"Everyone, be mindful."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Has everyone crossed?" Ji Qian inquired.

"Young miss, everyone has crossed, rest assured," Chen Ligong reported. Ji Qian was somewhat worried about the Three Temples’ members. Since the avalanche, they had lost contact. She couldn’t help but worry. If they reached the Heavenly Chasm and found that everyone had already crossed, what would they do?

"Qian’er." Just as Ji Qian was lost in thought, Ji Tao approached.

"Father, what is it?"

"All families have crossed now, but there’s no rush to continue. Let’s rest here for a while," Ji Tao said calmly. Having dealt with those monsters, everyone crossed safely. Logically, the ’Alliance’ formed by the families should have disbanded, but unsurprisingly, not a single family moved first. They were all waiting for Zheng Li’s command.

"Father, they seem to be waiting for Zheng Li."

"Indeed, though they have successfully crossed the Chasm, greater dangers undoubtedly lie ahead. One wrong move could lead to disaster," Ji Tao said with a faint smile. "Furthermore, Family Head Zheng led all the families through a crisis, establishing his prestige. If any family were to leave rashly now, they would surely be branded as ungrateful, burning bridges. Besides, it’s safer to face the dangers ahead as a group than alone."

"I understand," Ji Qian nodded in agreement.

"If all families reach the Kunlun Secret Realm, the Zheng family will likely emerge as the biggest winner."

Before long, Zheng Li commanded everyone to move forward. The day was growing late, but they were too close to the monsters’ lair at the Chasm’s edge. If the monsters attacked at night, the families would suffer heavy losses. For safety, Zheng Li decided to camp in the woods ahead.

.................................

"Damn, why is it so cold," Ye Shikai huddled in his tent, shivering under the blanket. The higher they ascended the mountain, the quicker the temperature dropped. At first, he thought he was ill, but later realized the temperature had indeed become much colder.

"Indeed, crossing the Chasm and going further, the temperature drops fast. Even for cultivators, it’s hard to endure," Dao Hun nodded in agreement. Ordinary cold doesn’t affect cultivators much. They can resist it with inner strength, but Kunlun Mountain is unlike any other place. Like the Holy Mountain, its biting cold is beyond even a cultivator’s endurance.

"From here to the summit, there’s a difference of several miles in altitude, plus the road is all mountain paths. Who knows how many wrong paths we’ll take," Ye Shikai questioned. "So, what’s your plan?"

"At the moment, you must proceed ahead of everyone else to be the first to enter the Kunlun Ruins," Dao Hun analyzed. "If those families come and encounter the harsh cold, they will surely find a safe place to camp and advance steadily."

"Could it be... they won’t proceed overnight?"

"You’re considered a Body Integration Realm master now. Among the tens of thousands present, only about thirty or forty are at Body Integration Realm. You feel the biting cold, so they must as well. If any Family Head recklessly advances, they wouldn’t get further than two miles before the low-cultivated ones freeze solid. They won’t be that foolish."

"True, it’s so cold outside, and the wind is so strong. If one’s cultivation is weak, the body can’t withstand it," Ye Shikai acknowledged, realizing he overlooked this fact.

"Those Family Heads are likely anxious too, but they can only wait until daytime to proceed."
