My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1728

The Misty Templar Court's Mystique Loyalty Realm experts immediately lowered their heads in greeting. Meanwhile, their Great Elder, Eliana, merely called his name out softly.

The hierarchy in the cultivation circle was based on one's level. Eliana was over a hundred years younger than Barrett. Still, she was considered part of the same generation as Barrett because she had already achieved the Profound Oriental Realm. Barrett clasped his hands behind his back, his authority evident as he gazed sharply at Benedict. "Elder Saal is the Misty Templar Court's Great Elder. Do you think she's someone a youngling with no real-world experience can afford to offend?"

His mid-stage Profound Oriental Realm energy weighed down on Benedict. A cold look appeared in his eyes as he gazed at Barrett and explained, "I'm merely explaining the truth.

"The Divine Strategy Squadron is a government organization, and the fact that she assaulted one of the squadron's majors means she could be charged with the crime of treason!" "Preposterous!"

Barrett waved his large hands, and three gusts of sword energy immediately materialized. The Profound Oriental Realm crystal talisman once again unleashed its defenses. The three gusts of sword energy fell apart, and the crystal talisman shattered.

"No wonder you seemed so confident. It's because you've got a Profound Oriental Realm expert backing you up!" Barrett huffed coldly.

He had just finished speaking when the terrifying energy of a mid-stage Mystique Loyalty Realm expert blasted toward them. "Move..."

Dallas shoved Benedict out of the way.

That terrifying gust of energy hit Dallas straight in the chest.

The power of a late-stage Profound Oriental Realm expert could not be balanced out by that of a Mystique Loyalty Realm expert.

Despite using all his spiritual energy to ward himself against it, Dallas was still sent flying nearly ten meters away from where he had been standing.

"Mr. Cricton..."

Benedict's face turned pale as he hurried over to help Dallas, who was covered in blood, back onto his feet.

Dallas' face had turned ashen. His mouth and nose were covered in blood, and all the bones in his body had shattered as well. Even his mystique core had shattered into smithereens. It was evident that Barrett's strike had been meant to kill.

Benedict retrieved a crystal bottle

from his pocket and twisted the cap open so that he could pour out a jet-blackmedicinal pill. It was a

Grand Rejuvenation Pill that bet

great-grandfather had given him. Although it could not completely heal Dallas, it could help stabilize his vitals.

"Is the Zen Heart Sect openly challenging the country's honor as well?" Gerbind asked as he helped support June, who had gone weak as her face turned swollen. He gazed intently into Barrett's eyes as he spoke.

"So what if we are?"

Barrett gave Gerbind a look of disdain.

The secular sects and the capital had a deal. They would not get themselves involved in the matters of the worldly sects, but if anyone were to provoke them, they were allowed to retaliate. Narugi

By not killing these people, Barrett was showing a lot of mercy.

"If that's the case, wait for the Divine Strategy Squadron to attack the Zen Heart Sect!" Gerbind said coldly.

Barrett scoffed. "We were just going to teach you a lesson. However, since you wish to attack the Zen Heart Sect, I'll have to kill all of you first!"

He would kill them to silence them.

As long as he killed them all, no one would ever know what the Zen Heart Sect had done in the secret realm. The disciples in his sect would keep their mouths shut.

The Misty Templar Court and the Zen Heart Sect had always been on the same page, and since he was defending Eliana's disciple, there was no way they would betray him.

As Barrett arrived at that conclusion, he raised a hand and brought it forward.

A massive palm appeared in the sky and traveled downward.

Everyone in the Divine Strategy Squadron felt a massive surge of energy wrap around them, and they could not move. That was how terrifying a Profound Oriental Realm expert could be. When faced with a Profound Oriental Expert, even the peak Mystique Loyalty Realm experts felt like they were fighting against an immense mountain. They could not fight back. "The Zen Heart Sect has got guts!"

Just then, a run-down nine-story tower descended from the skies. In an instant, the massive palm that Barrett had summoned vanished.

The Chaos Tower landed on the ground.

Dante, Geronimo, and Minaba flew out from the seventh floor together. Eric and other Mystique Loyalty Realm experts also appeared. "Dante Hutton..."

Barrett's brows furrowed together as he asked, "Are you going to get yourself involved in this?"
