My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1961

Clint and Nash both exclaimed excitedly in unison.

Zaafea inspected the worn iron gate and then gathered strength in his hands.

"Alright, I more or less understand the difficulty level now. These talismans are powerful and can neutralize most of my attacks, but..."

Whether it was talismans or ritualistic weapons, anything that had gone through refinement contained true energy. The best way to damage such objects was to continuously infuse true energy into them until the refined object's maximum tolerance was reached!

The dark energy mask appeared.

"Zavtin!" Zaafea roared and then slowly approached the iron gate, where he threw a punch.

Many of the talismans began to turn to ashes.

Zaafea delivered another kick. This time, the iron gate flew open with a crash.

Instantly, extremely powerful true energy erupted from within the forbidden grounds, pressing both Clint and Nash to the floor and preventing them from moving.

Swiftly, Zaafea wrapped dark energy around himself to block the impact.

The true energy slowly subsided, enough for Clint and Nash to finally get back on their feet.

"I told you, the guy inside isn't easy to deal with," Zaafea said, retracting the dark energy. "Let's go."

With that, the three entered the forbidden grounds.

Inside the forbidden grounds, a disheveled boy covered in wounds was bound by iron chains within an array. Beside him was the sect master of the Endless Horizon Sect, who had been turned into a stone statue.

"What on earth happened here?" Clint asked, looking at the young boy and the statue.
