The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

"According to the agreement, you should tell me about the Heavenly Alliance now, right?"

Callie Matthews looked at Carson Flores with much calmer eyes: "The Heavenly Alliance wants human captives to refine war souls."

Carson raised an eyebrow: "War souls?"

Callie explained: "Specially tempered primordial spirits, freed from the body's constraints. As long as the magic artifact doesn't break, they won't dissipate. They become soldiers without thoughts, obeying all commands of the owner until they completely die and the primordial spirit dissipates."

Carson was taken aback: "The Heavenly Alliance has such ability to extract a person's primordial spirit and refine it into a war soul to fight for themselves?"

Callie shook her head: "I don't know about that, but they exchanged with us for powerful human race captives for this purpose, even wanting Heavenly Immortals."

Carson furrowed his brow, wanting even Heavenly Immortals, meaning they have the ability to turn Heavenly Immortals into war souls too.

Huh... soul?

Carson suddenly paused, a figure appearing in his mind.

The man who went to the Spirit-Separation Sect that day, didn't he suspect he was from the Heavenly Alliance?

Heavenly Alliance, Spirit-Separation Sect, Soul Separation Technique...

The Spirit-Separation Sect is most skilled in divine spirit techniques, could the war soul matters Callie mentioned be conducted by the Spirit-Separation Sect?

The Spirit-Separation Sect has sided with the Heavenly Alliance, the Heavenly Alliance exchanges a large number of captives from the Dragon Clan, and the Spirit-Separation Sect helps the Heavenly Alliance refine these captives into mindless war souls, increasing the combat power of the Heavenly Alliance?

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

Anyway, Carson finally figured out the purpose of the Heavenly Alliance's captive transactions, and this should be a very important message.

Both the Heavenly Alliance and the Spirit-Separation Sect possess the means to transform captives into war souls, possibly providing the Heavenly Alliance with many powerful fighters.

Attack, obtain captives, refine into war souls, continue attacking, obtain more captives...

If there are no restrictions on refining war souls, what can stop the Heavenly Alliance?

Thinking of this, Carson felt a bit worried.

Previously, he heard about the Heavenly Alliance using Wildblood Gu to control members, forcing everyone to obey orders, which was already quite concerning. Unexpectedly, a new method for transforming war souls emerged, which truly adds insult to injury.

He must find a way to dig up the Spirit-Separation Sect thoroughly and get to the bottom of this.

Perhaps he really should make a trip to the Azure Dragon Palace to see if he can obtain more information about the Heavenly Alliance, but for now, cultivating and enhancing his strength comes first, as spirit veins are not something encountered often.

Carson thanked Callie: "Miss Matthews, thank you for the information. I have offended you before, please forgive me."

Callie looked at Carson apologizing, momentarily perplexed.

He clearly won, yet he apologized to her?

This guy doesn't seem so annoying after all; he was just risking to catch her to save his senior brother...

"There is no need to apologize when the Dragon Clan and Human Race are always fighting."

Carson smiled: "Miss Matthews has a kind heart, unwilling to see me perish, saving me into the barrier. Even if opponents or enemies, this deserves gratitude."

Callie shook her head, her heart momentarily chaotic, she didn't reply.

Carson observed Callie's reaction, smiled slightly, seems he defeated her, indeed giving her quite a blow, even her previous arrogance reduced significantly.

Anyway, resolving some grievances is always good.

The spirit vein soon started up, Carson and others all entered the spirit vein to begin cultivating.

This spirit vein is a middle grade spirit vein; though still gaseous, its quantity is much better than the lower grade vein discovered by the Black Cloth Blood Envoy before, and more pure in quality, making cultivation more efficient.

Carson focused on cultivation, sitting for a full year.

A year of mad cultivation, Carson's strength continuously soared, finally smoothly breaking through to mid-stage True Immortal.

Carson, pleased yet contemplative, sighed, beyond Immortal, the higher the realm, the tougher the advancement.

Such quality of spirit vein, such pure spiritual energy, such non-stop mad absorption, a whole year, yet only progressed a small stage. Still, although such a small stage, Carson's power at least increased several times!

Not only Carson was advanced; second senior brother Elijah White went from mid-stage Earth Immortal, directly to late-stage Earth Immortal, then to the peak of Earth Immortal, now retreating, reportedly preparing to break through to the True Immortal Realm in one go.

Callie Matthews advanced from mid-stage True Immortal to late-stage True Immortal, now steadily climbing towards True Immortal Peak.

Carson's progress speed slower than both, he felt it very normal as Carson's journey relied more on opportunities rather than cultivation talent.

His cultivation talent really isn't great, not better than Elijah White, nor better than Callie Matthews, it's too normal.

Carson did not continue to cultivate.

Strength improved, he needs some time to consolidate the realm, otherwise, taking too large steps can easily slip up.

More importantly, his time is already running short.

After some time, he needs to return to Heavenly Profound Continent to participate in the Heavenly Profound Martial Discourse, and before that, he wants to visit the Dragon Clan.

How busy it is!
