My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 500
Nash’s eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself, “The Five
Poisonous Pines is an exclusive secret recipe of the Cloud Ascendant
Palace in Carrion Mountain. How did it get all the way here?”
Nash cast a sidelong glance at Carson. Could he be affiliated with the
Cloud Ascendant Palace in Carrion Mountain?
The Cloud Ascendant Palace was an existence that even his master
would not easily provoke. His master had warned him that if he ever broke through to the Profound Oriental Realm one day and
gained a new understanding of the world, he still must not step into the Cloud Ascendant Palace lightly.
His master speculated that the Cloud Ascendant Palace might harbor
a top-tier cultivator capable of evading heavenly tribulations. Nash
was currently only at the Profound Reality Realm, and the ethereal
Profound Oriental Realm seemed like an unreachable goal.
He never expected to encounter someone from Carrion Mountain so
soon, and that person seemed to be an enemy rather than a friend.
Unable to defeat Carson, Ken was knocked down with a blow to his
chest. Melody rushed forward and forced Carson to retreat step by step with her overwhelming combat power.
With a boom, Carson and Melody’s palms clashed, creating a
shockwave that sent all the people within a ten-meter radius flying. Carson’s right arm’s sleeve burst open. The bones in his arm
made a brittle cracking sound.
“Profound Reality Realm.” Carson stared at Melody in disbelief. First,

there was a stage seven grandmaster and then a grandmaster
capable of matching a great-grandmaster. Now, there was another Profound Reality Realm cultivator!
Moreover, they were all very young individuals. How could martial
strength in the secular world be so terrifying? Could they be core
students from hidden sects?
The elders had warned him not to engage in conflicts with other sects.
before he left and that bringing trouble to the sect would lead to his
expulsion. Melody clenched her fist and struck Carson with all her might, even creating a sonic boom with her punch.
The air quivered. It was a power that was impossible for a stage three
grandmaster like Carson to withstand. It was likely that it was also
beyond the capability of a stage five great-grandmaster.
Carson attempted to evade the attack, but there was not enough
time. Just when Melody’s fist was about to make contact with his face, a sword came flying from behind Carson.
Melody’s pupils shrank, and she immediately dodged to the side. A bearded old man with a conical hat looked at Melody
indifferently. ”
You’re quite ruthless, little girl.”
Carson turned his head and glanced at the person by his side. His face lit up with joy. “Senior, you got here so fast!”
This person was none other than his martial brother, Luther Wilhem.. Just then, Carson sensed a different aura rolling off the
man. It was as if he had become younger. Suddenly, Carson congratulated him joyfully, “Congratulations on breaking through to
the Profound Reality
Realm!”

Luther had been stuck as a stage nine grandmaster for eight years with no progress even after three years of secluded
cultivation. Yet, he had unexpectedly broken through to the Profound Reality Realm
within half a month after descending the mountain.
Luther nodded. “Yes, it wasn’t easy at all.” He then looked at the
chaotic fighting around him and asked with furrowed brows, “What’s
going on?”
Carson briefly recounted the events that had transpired.
Luther stroked his beard and said, “These people dabble in money
and problems that are not theirs. If they deserve a beating, then let’s
give it to them.”
Melody looked down on Luther and said, “You don’t seem like an ordinary person. If you belong to one of those hidden sects, I
advise
you to go back to your mountain. Otherwise, I’ll report you to the
National Martial Bureau.”
The National Martial Bureau was an organization dedicated to
managing martial artists. It had jurisdiction over both secular martial artists and those from hidden sects. They even had the
authority to use nuclear weapons.
Early on, the major sects had signed agreements with the National
Martial Bureau. They had autonomy within their sects, but outside them, they had to follow the rules.
Luther smiled faintly. “We’re dealing with martial artists. The rules of the National Martial Bureau don’t apply to us.”
With that, he flicked his longsword, producing a clear resonance

Severai almost solid sword forms shot directly at Melody.
Weaponless. Melody could only twist her body to evade the blades. Just as she dodged Luther’s attacks, a gust of wind blew in
front of
her. She knew Luther was coming even before she could look up He
was so fast that Melody could not react in time
