The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1801: Other Shore Flower

"What on earth is happening here?" Chen Yuxin was also stunned by the scene before her. Are these monsters really from hell, or perhaps this place is hell itself? They had encountered hordes of monsters before, but these ones appeared around them like ghosts, and the flower sea that once covered the ground had turned into a Molten Purgatory, making everyone wonder if they had indeed arrived in hell.

Whew.

Beside them, a monster swung a long axe. Ye Shikai pulled Chen Yuxin down sharply, the axe swinging past in front of his eyes. If it had hit him, a person might literally be split in two, or else be flung far away.

"Master, watch out." Feng Ling thrust a dagger toward a monster’s neck and followed it up with a flying kick. But compared to these two- to three-meter-tall monsters, Feng Ling appeared somewhat "small." The dagger pierced the monster’s neck, but it was evidently not a vital spot, and such a small dagger didn’t cause much damage. Her full-force kick merely forced the monster back a few steps.

"Damn, these monsters aren’t easy to deal with." Ye Shikai felt a faint unease. Many around him were seriously injured or dead. These monsters had strong bodies, even cultivators who had reached the Soul Emergence stage found it difficult to resist, and their sudden appearance left no time for a response.

"Moonlight Formation." Ji Qian hastily activated the Moonlight Formation, fending off the attacks of several monsters, but ultimately, it was just buying time. They had to retreat immediately, otherwise, if the three families continued to linger here, it would only lead to a dead end.

"Xin, quickly, get everyone out, as fast as possible." Ye Shikai instructed urgently.

"It’s not possible now, everything’s out of control, these monsters are appearing all around, everyone’s caught up in a chaotic battle." Chen Yuxin was also quite flustered; this was the first time she had seen such a scene. Feng Ling, Xue Ming, and Limei, however, remained calm, quickly reacting by leading loyal members of the Shadow Organization to protect Chen Yuxin closely, surrounded by dozens of elders who began to retreat while protecting her. Meanwhile, the people of the Li Family and Ji Family also began to withdraw.

"Ah!"

Ye Shikai heard cries for help not far away, and when he looked over, he saw a person being cornered by two monsters, while the lava behind was already beginning to surge.

Kill.

Ye Shikai acted swiftly, taking advantage of the two monsters being off their guard, pushing them back with a sword strike, and grabbing the person’s shoulder.

"Hurry and evacuate, quick!"

"Yes... yes."

"Everyone, hurry and retreat." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, pulling a few severely injured people back while retreating. These monsters were also fast, and the chaotic retreat of the group left many people injured and fallen, soon to be trampled to death by the monsters behind them. Everyone was enveloped in a purplish-red glow, with the entire ground covered in blood and cries for help, oppressing them to the extreme, a scene too tragic to behold.

Cackle.

The monsters let out chilling cries; they had no time to waste, or else everyone would die. Ye Shikai knew how urgent the situation was, but it seemed that apart from the Chen family, the other two families had no intention of retreating.

"Senior Li, why aren’t you retreating yet?" Ye Shikai hurriedly went up to Li Changtian and asked anxiously.

"We’ve fought hard to get this far, how could we just retreat now? Wouldn’t that be a waste? These are just some monsters trying to ambush us while we’re unprepared. As long as we stabilize our formation, we can fight back against them." Li Changtian had no intention of retreating, and Ye Shikai’s repeated persuasion was futile.

"Li Yueying, are you going to stay here too? These monsters are different from what we’ve faced before. If we don’t leave soon, we’ll be wiped out here." Ye Shikai shouted.

"Ye Shikai, you should go first, I... I won’t leave." Li Yueying hesitated; she agreed with Ye Shikai’s view, but since Li Changtian disagreed, she had to stay put.

"You all, sigh."

Ye Shikai’s persuasion was ineffective, and similarly, Ji Tao did not endorse retreating. If they retreated now, it would all be in vain. In fact, he could understand Ji Tao and Li Changtian’s perspective; purely from a pragmatic standpoint, resisting further might cause at most a few hundred casualties. Even if they lost half, obtaining treasures from the Kunlun Secret Realm would allow them to cultivate thousands of expert cultivators immediately. With so many resources at hand, they could attract more people to join them.

"All members of the Ji Family, hear my order: hold out to the last person."

"Yes."

"Yes."

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

"Kai, let’s hurry and evacuate." Chen Yuxin held onto Ye Shikai’s arm, eager to leave.

"Xin, you’re pregnant, leave here quickly. Feng Ling, Xue Ming, you escort her out." Ye Shikai said, pushing Chen Yuxin backward, clearly showing that he still didn’t want to leave right away.

"Kai, let’s go together."

"The situation is urgent, and this place is too mysterious. I have to stay and find the flaw, or everyone will die here." Ye Shikai hurriedly explained, releasing Chen Yuxin’s hand.

"No, I want to stay here, if you don’t leave, neither will I." Upon hearing this, Chen Yuxin refused to go.

"Listen, don’t make it difficult, leave here quickly, I’ll come later." Ye Shikai quickly instructed Xue Ming and Feng Ling to escort Chen Yuxin out. Though the two women weren’t his subordinates, they would nonetheless ensure Chen Yuxin’s safety, so they complied.

Ye Shikai raised his head. The sky was a stunning purplish-red, extremely dazzling. It was this very light that had shone down, causing the appearance of these monsters, meaning that it was all rooted in that light.

"What is that?"

Ye Shikai’s gaze fell upon a "flower" suspended in the sky, a blood-red flower, incredibly captivating, just hanging there. He suddenly recalled, when everyone first arrived here, the flowers covering the ground were this very kind.

There must be some connection here.

"This is... the Other Shore Flower." At this moment, Sword Soul suddenly spoke.

"The Other Shore Flower, what is that?" Ye Shikai had only heard rumors about the Other Shore Flower, but had never seen it in person.

"It’s said that the red Other Shore Flower blooms in hell, while the white one blooms in heaven. But since it’s just a rumor, I never expected to see it in person today." Sword Soul explained to him.

"Red Other Shore Flower, hell." Ye Shikai realized suddenly that when they’d stepped into the flower sea, they had already crossed into the gates of hell.

But why would hell be within the Kunlun Secret Realm? This was simply puzzling.

"Sword Soul, what exactly is going on here? Why have we entered hell?" Ye Shikai asked earnestly.

"This... I’m not sure either, but don’t be misled by appearances, this might... just be an illusion."
