My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1717

The idea quickly took root in Sean's mind. It was the only explanation that made sense as to why Mondo’s body was gone.

...

Back on the battlefield, Alto emerged from the fire. His Sacred Light Shield had lost its luster, his clothes were in tatters, and his hair and beard had disappeared. His dark blue eyes were gloomy, and his face was filled with anger.

"Lord Alto!”

"Vice-President!”

Seeing that Alto was still alive, the Satanic Union members got excited. One of them immediately turned toward Roxy and exclaimed, "Didn't you lot say that Drakonian cultivators pay heed to martial ethics? Why did you interfere in their battle? You also used despicable and abusive methods!"

Roxy glanced at the man lightly and responded coldly, "Isn't it despicable for you to pit a Profound Oriental Realm expert against a Mystique Loyalty Realm expert?”

"You…" The man wanted to refute, but Alto stared at Roxy and said coldly, "Woman, you’re playing with fire.”

He never thought he would one day be injured by a first-tier Legendary Realm ant. Without giving her the chance to respond, he swung his short sword forward, and a hundred-foot-long blade radiance fell from the sky.

The blade radiance resonated with power at the peak stage of the Profound Oriental Realm as well as Alto’s terrifying will.

Faced with the upcoming blade radiance, Roxy found herself immobilized as the color drained from her face.

“Roxy, get back here quickly!” Summer shouted anxiously as she wondered why the woman was still not running despite being unable to fight him. Was she really still so concerned about her reputation right now?

Danta replied, "Alto's attacks are infused with his intense will. Even I would be restrained by his blade radiance. She's likely unable to move right now!”

When Summer heard this, she rushed toward Roxy in a flash. Her eyes were firm, and she faced the risk of death with a firm gaze. She had been watching over Roxy as she grew. She was also the head of the Sage Mantle Sect.
