The first three rows of the Leopard Cavalier held shields weighing hundreds of pounds that were stamped with leopard heads and snake prints! Thud, thud, thud! With every step they took, the ground shook slightly. The sound of the neat and uniform footsteps resounded in the ears just like a thousand troops on the battlefield! Thump! The shields in the hands of the three rows of Leopard Cavalier crashed heavily on the ground! The ground in the small square in front of the golden palace trembled! Swoosh! Instantly, three rows of the shield-wielding Leopard Cavalier separated and surrounded the Tiger Guards brought by Wade from three directions. Behind each row of shield-wielding Leopard Cavalier, there were several rows of more members of Leopard Cavalier standing. At this time! “Bows up!” Horace roared and stood aside. Instantly, the Leopard Cavalier behind the shields took off the silver bows from their backs neatly and uniformly! Swoosh! After that, they too
Horace snorted and said, “Third Elder, it’s wrong for you to say that. Since my nephew arrived on the island from the outside world today, your branch family has sent four waves of people to repeatedly harass my nephew. You even want to detain the heir of the main family. If my elder brother catches wind of this matter, do you think your branch family can still live quietly on the island?” “Hehe, Horace, are you trying to use the patriarch to threaten us now? If so, then you’re wrong! Our branch family has our chieftain and rules. Even Roger can’t easily interfere in our branch family's affairs!” Desmond shouted, and the cold intent in his eyes grew more exuberant! If they could not take down Philip today, it would not only be a loss of dignity to the branch family but also a loss of prestige! In the future, it would be difficult for the branch family to do anything! Wade also sneered and said, “Horace, have your men withdraw immediately and don’t hinder me from taking down t
Hearing this, Wade’s face dripped with cold sweat! Damn it! Horace had actually taken that step! In that case, why did he behave so meekly in the Clarke family in recent years? Anyone who had taken that step was not an ordinary person! Wade had been fumbling around for ten years but could never take that step, always hovering at the edge. Instantly, he felt a little flustered. If Horace was speaking the truth, then there was no way Wade could defeat him! This was their gap in strength and the difference of the realms! There was a look of horror in Wade’s eyes as he kept scrutinizing Horace. After a while, he bit the bullet and said, “Horace, even if you’ve taken that step, so what? I’m Wade Clarke of the branch family. I’m acting according to the family rules and am here on behalf of the law enforcement hall to make an arrest. If you dare stop me, you’ll be fighting against the branch family and law enforcement hall!” “The branch family?” Horace sneered and said o
Uncle Horace. Compared to Uncle Tim, he was not inferior. Back then, Uncle Horace once wielded a sword alone and disabled an elder of the law enforcement hall. At that time, the elders of the branch family rallied and attacked. The entire law enforcement hall, from inside out, was surrounded by guards from the branch family. However, a miracle happened! Just like that, Uncle Horace fearlessly walked out of the law enforcement hall in his white clothes while holding a long sword dripping with blood. Since that incident, Uncle Horace took up the position as one of the ten elders of the law enforcement hall. Later, it was rumored that a verbal message from the first elder came out of the courtyard before the branch family stopped. After that time, Uncle Horace’s fame in the Clarke family shot through the roof! Many years had passed. Uncle Horace had never made a move since that incident and became unknown again. However, everyone knew that he was a lion pretending to
The atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out! Horace’s Leopard Cavalier and Wade’s Tiger Guards had already gotten into formation by now! They were just waiting for their master’s command! However, at this moment, Philip walked over leisurely and said to Horace, “Uncle Horace, forget it. I’ll go with them to the branch family.” Hiss! As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent. Horace looked at Philip in disbelief and said, “Philip, what are you saying? You want to go to the branch family with them? You can’t do that! Don’t worry. With me around, there won’t be a problem here! Wade won’t dare to do anything to you! If he does, I’ll be the first to go after him! And I won’t spare the branch family either!” On the other side, Wade and Desmond were also very surprised. They exchanged a glance and wondered what Philip was up to. Why did he agree to their request so suddenly? What was he trying to do by putting on that murderous and death-defying look just now? Wade
“Very well, then! Everyone, let’s return! I want to see how arrogant this boy can still be once he gets to the branch family!” Wade shouted angrily and put his hands behind his back. Philip smiled calmly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and led the way. Behind him, the Griffin Army formed a square and followed closely. Wade and Desmond lagged behind everyone for fear that Philip would escape halfway. Horace looked at Philip getting farther away with his eyebrows raised in contemplation. What the hell was this brat trying to do? Was he going to kick up a big fuss in the branch family? Thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared on Horace’s face. However, after thinking about it, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After not seeing this brat for seven years, he dared to create such a big commotion when he just returned. In that case, Horace would go along with him for once. “Men, inform Third Madam as soon as possible. The rest of you, follow
It was just brief eye contact. Philip did not have much of an impression of Lex. The number of times he met Lex could be counted on one hand. Besides, Lex seldom did anything influential in the branch family and his reputation was so-so. At this moment, a man in a black outfit with burly muscles stood behind Lex. Next to him was a charming woman in a short purple dress, a pair of black high heels, and her hair was in a high ponytail. “Second Young Master, aren't you going to take a look?” the woman said, her voice soft. A delicate chill flashed in Lex’s eyes as he smiled and said, “Of course, why not? It’s so interesting. It’d be a waste to miss it.” As soon as he said that, the burly man in black attire straightened up from the wall he was leaning against and said, “Let me check out the situation first.” Lex shook his head and said, “No need. No one will make a move against me at this time. Just go with ease and confidence.” After saying that, Lex stared at Philip
Some young masters and young ladies present did not get a close look at the Griffin Army earlier as they were a distance away. At the majestic sight of the Griffin Army now, they could not help but tremble! What a strong aura! Was the young master of the main family here to admit his mistakes or pick a fight? Thud, thud. As their imaginations ran wild, Philip had already stepped into the memorial hall. He was standing in everyone’s sight fearlessly. Hansel immediately got angry and slammed his palm on the chair. He shouted, “Philip, how dare you?! Why aren’t you kneeling upon seeing your granduncles?” Philip smiled blandly and raised his eyebrows. His eyes were filled with disdain as he said, “You’re not worthy for me to kneel to you.” Smack! Hansel was furious and immediately stood up with a face full of anger. He pointed at Philip and roared, “Presumptuous! This is the branch family’s memorial hall. We are your granduncles. The purpose of opening the hall today is to
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
