Ludo said, “Based on the current situation, only Fitzgerald was found and confirmed to be from the other shore. As for the others, I don't know.” Hearing this, Philip breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “You mentioned just now that Windsor is Fitzgerald’s follower. Are you saying that Windsor is acting on Fitzgerald’s order?” Ludo nodded and said, “It’s very likely, so it’s best if you keep your distance from Windsor. His influence in Mystic City is not small, and he doesn’t only have Fitzgerald behind him. As far as I know, the Imperial Palace is involved too.” “The Imperial Palace?” Philip frowned. When it came to matters related to the Imperial Palace, Philip was uncertain too. Was someone in the Imperial Palace working with Windsor? Ludo said, “We haven't found out the specifics. The Heavenly Court has no way to infiltrate the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Preceptor is very powerful.” Philip was quite surprised to hear this evaluation of the Imperial Preceptor from
After waiting for a while, the burly man returned and said to Philip, “Miss Cleo Lovelace will see you.” Philip nodded and walked into the medical hall. Fennel and the others followed closely behind. The internal layout of the medical hall was quite simple, but there was no medical staff at the front desk or a guide for selling medicine. They followed the burly man to the back of the medical hall only to find that there was more than met the eye. There was a small courtyard inside where Cleo was talking to several guests. She wore a sexy black dress, looking charming and mature. Seeing Philip and the others walking in, Cleo greeted him with a smile and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I didn’t expect you to come looking for me.” Philip glanced around at the unfamiliar people in the yard. He looked at Cleo and said, “You know the purpose of my visit.” Of course, Cleo knew. She motioned Philip to sit on the side and said, “You’re here for Wynn’s memory chip, but I’m sor
Cleo said, “Relax, Young Patriarch Clarke. To us, Wynn is the only bargaining chip now. We won’t do anything to her, but we need her to do some things for us.” Hearing this, Philip's eyes became sterner as he said, “I won’t allow you to hurt Wynn! I won’t let the Lovelace family off!” After that, Philip turned around and left the medical hall with the others. After Philip left, Cleo breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes became cold as she said to the men behind her, “Tell the people at Cochly Mountain to hurry things up.” “Yes, Young Miss!” … After Philip and the others left the medical hall, Fennel asked, “Why didn't you take Cleo as a hostage?” Philip frowned and said, “It's not that simple.” They returned to the hotel. After a day's rest, Philip was invited by Ludo’s attendant to the hotel. It was still the same suite. However, Ludo was not dressed up as a man this time but wore a skimpy dress as she lay on a beach chair with sunglasses on. She was having a drink
However, when he got to the door, he found it tightly locked. “What’s the meaning of this?” Philip asked with a frown, his eyes with a hint of chill. He came to Mystic City firstly because of Wynn and the Lovelace family, secondly because of the Larson family’s secret vault, and thirdly for the secret treasure of the ancient sage. As for the internal battles of the Heavenly Court, he was not interested and did not want to get involved at all. Who knew what people existed in the Heavenly Court? Besides, according to Ludo and the information he found, the Clarke family broke away from the control of the Heavenly Court and developed on its own before it grew to such an enviable scale. Was it possible that the Great Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court did not bear a grudge toward the Clarke family or his father? Ludo put down the wine glass, showed off her proud figure, bit her lip, winked her beautiful eyes, and said, “Don't you have any thoughts about me at all?” Phili
“Why not? I don’t have to get involved in this in the first place. Philip added, “I can consider pretending to be your fiance, but I need to put forward my demands too.” “Go ahead.” Of course, Ludo knew that Philip would not help her for no reason. “I need relevant internal information about the Heavenly Court, especially of my parents and also about the real Heavenly Court in history.” After Philip finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Ludo thought for a while, pinched her chin with her tender hand, and said, “Okay, it’s a deal!” Soon, Philip left the hotel. As soon as he went out, Philip noticed that he was being followed by several men in black clothes. Philip thought about it and walked along the street until he reached a remote alley. Those guys stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the surrounding environment. They glanced at each other and pulled out daggers or pistols. When they entered the alley, they realized
As Dumbo Lane was drinking and having fun, he saw his subordinate rushing in. Hearing those words, Dumbo immediately stood up in fright and asked with wide eyes, “Who broke in?” He was sweating profusely! The subordinate covered in blood was just about to reply when a figure full of killing intent at the door kicked a few subordinates away and rushed in. “It’s me!” That declaration exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt! Dumbo looked up and saw Philip barging in alone with murderous eyes. “It’s you? Aren’t you dead yet?” Dumbo panicked, and a trace of doubt flashed in the corner of his eyes. Damn it! He had hired a few expert disciples. Why were so many people unable to take down one opponent? Philip chuckled and walked up to Dumbo. He sat on the sofa, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip. Seeing this, Dumbo’s eyes were full of chills! Damn it! Philip did not take him seriously at all! Outrageous! Dumbo shouted angrily, “Young Patriarch Clarke, this is
Seeing this, Dumbo waved his hand and yelled, “Kill him!” Bang, bang, bang! Rat-tat-tat! In an instant, gunfire filled the hall, and people were sent flying! The furniture and furnishing turned into smithereens! Dumbo thought that Philip would definitely die under such firepower! However, he was wrong—very wrong! That was because he saw that the bullets did Philip no harm at all! He really was a disciple! Roar! With a low roar, a fire chimera rushed out, knocking over a dozen people. They exploded in flames and turned to ashes! Roar! At that moment, the chimera pounced on Dumbo and stomped on his chest with flaming hooves! Dumbo’s face was pale as he fell to the ground, his clothes and hair burning. “Argh! Don’t kill me!” Dumbo yelled miserably. Philip walked out of the hall silently, leaving a pile of bodies behind him that were mostly charred or had already been burned to ashes. “Third Master Lane, what do you think now?” Philip asked with a grin. At
Philip followed the female attendant into Glenrock Den. It was an elegant garden with a simple yet classy atmosphere. There was a small lotus pond, a small gazebo, and many porcelain decorations. Claus was playing chess in the small gazebo with a guard behind him. The guard looked quite imposing with stern eyes and a cold aura exuding from him. Philip entered the small gazebo, bowed slightly, and said, “How do you do, Dragon King Motley?” Claus laughed and said with a wave, “Don’t be so formal. We’re friends here.” Philip sat down and glanced at the chess game on the table. It was very strange, seemingly with all dead ends. “Do you play chess?” Claus asked when he saw Philip looking at the game. Philip smiled, shook his head, and said, “I know a little bit. I've played with my father before.” Claus smiled and said, “That's great. Play this game with me.” Philip did not refuse, and the two began to play against each other. “Do you need to know something?” Claus ask
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
