The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1805: Infighting
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
Ye Shikai looked down and saw ten or more monsters behind him. Clearly, they were trying to stop him from destroying the Other Shore Flower. He didn’t know what was happening, but all the illusion techniques originated from the light emitted by the flower. These "monsters" below were actually people, definitely due to the illusion technique. In the eyes of these people, Ye Shikai and the Chen family members were "monsters," creating mutual confusion, making both parties mistakenly believe the other was a monster. As a result, as long as one side was "enchanted," a deadly struggle between the sides was unavoidable.
Jie Jie.
The monsters emitted terrifying cries, which must be another hallucination, Ye Shikai repeated in his heart, forcing his mind to stay calm. The illusion could deceive his vision, hearing, touch, and even his mind, so he had to remain rational no matter what.
Ye Shikai climbed up the cliff, and the monsters followed closely behind him. He could not relax for even a moment.
Breaking Sky Fist.
With one punch, Ye Shikai knocked down several monsters behind him. These people were likely cultivators; it would be best to avoid unnecessary casualties.
"Boy, hurry up and destroy the Other Shore Flower above, quickly." the Blade Soul urged.
"I’m almost there." Ye Shikai reached the top, when suddenly, a long spear shot toward him from afar, moving too quickly for him to react.
Scratch.
Ye Shikai felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and turned to see the spear had pierced right through it. He had an old injury there; now, with new and old wounds combined, it was real, living flesh pain.
"Damn these guys." Ye Shikai gritted his teeth and pulled out the long spear. Blood flowed freely, but he had no time to bandage the wound now.
"Go to hell."
Ye Shikai, holding onto the cliff with one hand, gripped the long spear with the other, swung his arm, and threw it forcefully towards the Other Shore Flower...
Boom.
With a thunderous crash, the spearhead pierced the Other Shore Flower. In the blink of an eye, the blood-red blossom was shattered into pieces. The powerful impact shattered the cliff, causing Ye Shikai to lose his grip and fall from above.
Agh agh.
The Other Shore Flower was reduced to powder, and the glow vanished. The "monsters" in front of him also disappeared.
"You’re... Chen family members."
"Zheng family."
"How could this happen."
Everyone was shocked; the "monsters" before them instantly turned into flesh-and-blood people. In reality, they had never turned into monsters; they were simply under the illusion of the Other Shore Flower.
"Everyone, stop immediately."
"Stop immediately."
The two families immediately stopped. The ground was filled with the corpses of their members, and there was no trace of monsters. Upon closer inspection of the wounds, it was clear these people had died at the hands of their own.
Everyone was silent, unsure of what to say. Their companions were killed, naturally bringing hatred towards each other. But it was indeed a misunderstanding, and they had killed many of the other side as well. For the moment, they had no words, only astonishment. Especially the Zheng family members, who had never encountered the Other Shore Flower before; this sight was a first for them.
"What on earth happened." Even the steady Zheng Li couldn’t help but shout loudly. He didn’t know if those monsters were real or fake, but certainly many Zheng family members had died, which naturally shocked him.
"It’s... the Other Shore Flower." Ye Shikai climbed out from the ruins. Goodness, he was almost crushed by the falling rocks, but his bones must be hurt.
"Kai." Seeing this, Chen Yuxin quickly stepped forward to help him up. The wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, looking frightening.
"Mr. Ye." Zheng Ji, seeing Ye Shikai, hurried forward to assist him.
"What on earth happened, Mr. Chen, can you provide me with an explanation." Zheng Li asked in return.
"Senior Zheng, let me explain," Ye Shikai said calmly.
"So it was Mr. Ye. You’re injured, are you okay."
"Don’t worry, it’s just a minor wound." Ye Shikai continued, "We were all influenced by the Other Shore Flower’s illusions just now."
"The Other Shore Flower, is it the legendary Other Shore Flower."
"Yes, I didn’t expect the Other Shore Flower to be in the Kunlun Secret Realm. Its purple-red glow can confuse minds, causing hallucinations. We were under illusion and mistook each other for monsters, leading to mutual slaughter." Ye Shikai explained to everyone. After such an event, rational people wouldn’t act rashly; despite the heavy losses, responsibility was shared. Moreover, having already suffered as much, further disputes would lead to greater losses; the priority now was to rescue the injured and preserve the remaining strength.
"Unexpectedly, all of this was an illusion." Zheng Li, aside from being shocked, felt deeply embarrassed. Among Huaxia’s cultivators, he was among the best, yet today, a mere illusion caused him such heavy losses, with so many people under him dying tragically.
"Enough, Family Head Zheng, don’t blame yourself. We’ve suffered the same misfortune. The illusion of the Other Shore Flower is difficult to resist unless the source is destroyed; otherwise, the illusion won’t cease."
"The most important thing now is to save people first." Ye Shikai sighed bitterly and found a place to sit. Chen Yuxin immediately approached to bandage him.
"Kai, how’s your injury? Does it hurt a lot."
"It’s fine, just a minor wound. This level of pain is nothing," Ye Shikai waved his hand. Pain was no longer an issue for him. He took out a few painkillers from the Storage Ring and swallowed them while using Inner Strength to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound. This kind of injury would heal in a few days.
This time, the Chen family and Zheng family had "mutually slaughtered," with both losing more than two hundred people, mostly seriously injured and urgently sent down the mountain. Although they fought, the two families didn’t harbor mutual hatred, knowing that it would sound bad if word got out they slaughtered each other due to illusions.
"Mr. Ye, we really must thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, we might have fought to the death here. But on that note, why are you at Kunlun Mountain? I heard you disappeared two months ago; what happened there." Zheng Li asked curiously.
"It’s a long story, and I’ll explain if I have the chance in the future."
"Alright, then, but why is the Other Shore Flower here."
"I’m not sure about that either. The secrets of the Kunlun Secret Realm are many. Including this time, I’ve encountered the Other Shore Flower twice; perhaps venturing deeper might lead to more encounters." Ye Shikai explained everything to Zheng Li. With the situation reaching this point, neither family planned to resume fighting; everyone wanted to secure the treasure, but only if they could leave alive.
