The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2008 - 2007: Sanctimonious

The crowd was in disbelief upon hearing the news of the demonic beast attack.

The Eighth Prince, in particular, jumped up and kicked the messenger, cursing, "You blind fool, can’t you see what day it is? Everyone is here to enjoy the wind and moonlight, the poetry and wine are just getting interesting, yet you come over to ruin everyone’s mood. Get lost!"

The person repeatedly kowtowed and apologized, retreating in a panic.

The Eighth Prince smiled and pressed his hands down to calm everyone, saying, "Gentlemen, don’t panic. It’s just a small group of demonic beasts causing trouble, nothing serious. Let’s continue drinking and not let such a small matter spoil our mood."

Immediately, someone stood up to praise, "The Eighth Prince remains calm and composed, truly admirable, indeed a great leader who doesn’t panic in the face of danger. We shall all toast to the Eighth Prince."

A group of people stood up one after another, beginning to offer their compliments and toasts.

"Shameless!"

Chang Xi cursed silently in her heart, left with her sword.

Her white clothes were as pure as snow, making the Eighth Prince’s eyes greedily linger on her.

He turned and whispered a few words to the Taiyi Daoist beside him.

Taiyi Daoist’s face changed, declining resolutely, "Eighth Prince, mind your dignity. I am only responsible for ensuring your safety, I won’t handle other matters!"

The Eighth Prince pleaded, "Daoist, you’ve seen how she disrespected me at the banquet. It’s bad for my reputation, and it hinders the important task of marrying into the Yaochi Sacred Land. If I don’t use force, how can she submit to me? If you don’t go, I won’t attend court tomorrow, and let’s see how you’ll handle the Demon Beast Army below!"

Taiyi Daoist’s face twitched, and he whispered softly, "Just this once!"

He quietly retreated and disappeared in a flash.

Outside the mansion, Chang Xi had just taken a few steps after leaving.

A figure appeared in front of her, raising a hand to block her path.

She raised an eyebrow, speaking bluntly, "What, a dignified Elder of the Inner Gate of Heaven-Piercing Palace is also resorting to abducting women?"

The old man frowned and said, "Do you know this old man?"

Chang Xi chuckled coldly, "I heard from my master that five thousand years ago, you were also a renowned figure. How are you willing to become a lackey to the wealthy now?"

The old man said expressionlessly, "This is a grand scheme planned by big figures, what do you, a little girl, understand."

Chang Xi rebuked, "Don’t try to justify. Don’t think I can’t see through your intentions. You just want to let the demonic beasts clear the opposition outside, to control the cultivation resources of the Immortal King Star, and let the millions of innocents below become your scapegoats against the demonic beasts. You’re using their lives to trade for your luxury and glory, isn’t that right?"

The old man’s lips twitched, "Do you think letting them into Celestial Realms City ensures its survival? Do you know how much food and money they consume each day, how much loss and chaos they cause to Celestial Realms City?"

"Of course, I know!"

Chang Xi angrily retorted, "But that is not the reason to abandon them, nor is it a reason to selfishly use them as scapegoats. If you can’t unite the strength of the Human Race, even if you carry out your plan and exhaust the Demon Race, you still won’t achieve final victory!"

The old man’s expression turned cold, saying emotionlessly, "It’s their fate, they have to accept it even if they don’t want to. What we must do is desperately preserve the last bloodline of the Human Race. Until the final moment, no one knows if this plan will succeed!"

Chang Xi sneered coldly, "Your statement about the Human Race’s bloodline is disgusting, you’re only doing it for your interests! The plan proposed by the Consort Prince was clearly the best option, so why did you oppose him, hunting him down relentlessly? He contributed so much for the Human Race, what about you? Did you ever think of this when crossing the Heart-Refining Bridge?"

"That was his choice, what does it have to do with us?"

The old man’s deeply hidden thoughts were torn open by Chang Xi, causing him to angrily shout.

Chang Xi laughed disdainfully, "Is the senior angry? Then it seems I was right. You are worse than demonic spirits, at least they do evil openly, but you always carry the banner of the Human Race. Obviously committing evil, yet you hide behind a face of benevolence. Who are you living such a hypocritical life for?"

"You’re courting death!"

The old man snorted heavily, striking suddenly.

The Unity Realm Stage pressure released, and he raised his hand to materialize a Taiyi True Water Seal in the air, pressing down on Chang Xi.

The void buzzed and sank, imprinting five fingerprints on the ground.

On Chang Xi’s body, the moonlight shone brightly.

A Bright Moon Dharma Laksana rose, with a thunderous sound, holding up the descending seal.

The Lunar Sword in her hand swirled fiercely, charging toward the old man, trailing a Sword Qi in its wake.

"Presumptuous!"

The old man glared, the void in front of him churned, and with a bang, shattered the Sword Qi to pieces.

Though the Unity Realm Stage and Divinity Transformation Realm differ by just a level, they are already united with the Heavenly Dao.

From this point, one can sense the Heavenly Dao and is no longer an ordinary person.

Their understanding of the Dao far surpasses that of mortals, something Chang Xi cannot compare to.

He raised his hand, producing a green alms bowl, snorting coldly at Chang Xi, "Even your master doesn’t dare disrespect this old man like this, and you, a junior, dare be so arrogant. Don’t blame this old man for being merciless. Taking you tonight and binding you to the Eighth Prince, consider it a fortune bestowed upon you!"

The alms bowl in his hand lifted, and a ball of mist shot out, transforming into a rope, rushing toward Chang Xi.

Chang Xi cursed fiercely, "Shameless old man, I’d rather die than let you succeed!"

Her longsword swirled, clashing with the water rope with a swish and swish.

This was not ordinary water but the Taiyi True Water refined by the old man, indestructible.

The Sword Qi drawn by Chang Xi was instantly swallowed by this Taiyi True Water.

The Moonlight Dharma Laksana above her head was also being pressed downward by the Taiyi True Water Seal.

In the face of absolute power, there was no room for counterattack.

The Heaven-Blending Silk Ribbon on Chang Xi’s body unfurled, brushing in front of the Taiyi True Water, forming a white barrier.

The Taiyi True Water hit it with a pitter-patter, rebounding like raindrops scattered by the Heaven-Blending Silk Ribbon.

But just as the water shattered, it quickly reformed behind, turning into a water rope continuously attacking the barrier formed by the heaven-blending silk ribbon.

The clash of forces made the void tremble violently.

Cultivators inside finally heard the battle outside and came out to watch in excitement, gathering on the manor’s walls and gates in a throng.

In the center of them, the Eighth Prince was surrounded, fanning himself lightly, saying with a chuckle, "Look at this, the Holy Maiden of the Lunar Palace truly has a knack for drama. We invited her to dance, but she came here instead to duel with my guest elder."

Everyone laughed and teased, "It seems the Saintess truly has a fiery temperament!"

"The Eighth Prince’s literary and martial talents are unparalleled, only you are worthy of the Holy Maiden of the Lunar Palace!"

"I think she won’t be able to hold on much longer!"
