Philip quickly rushed to the room. Layla lay on the bed, her face pale. Her breathing was still very weak. He walked over, looked at Layla’s condition, and stroked her hair. Then, he got up, walked out of the room, and bowed to Dr. Hoff. He said, “Dr. Hoff, how is my friend doing?” The old man in front of him was talking to Claus. Seeing Philip, he smiled and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, don’t worry. Your friend is out of danger now. There’s nothing serious, but…” “But what?” Philip asked. Dr. Hoff shook his head and said, “She seems to have a condition that I can’t figure out. I’ve practiced medicine for decades, but I’ve never seen such a condition before.” “What condition?” Philip asked nervously. Dr. Hoff said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t tell. However, this condition can be both good and bad for your friend. The existence of this condition offsets the dead energy that ravages your friend’s body. It’s my first time seeing such a strange disease.” Hearing that, Philip
Philip looked at Fennel calmly and asked, “What do you think?” Fennel said, “I think we can’t go out now. We have Dragon King Motley to hold the fort here, and those people won’t dare to do anything for the time being. Once we go out, we won’t be facing some small forces but the world at large.” Philip frowned with coldness in his eyes and said, “Announce to those people outside that in three days, I’ll hold a dinner party to view the secret treasure of the ancient sage. They’re invited.” “Are you sure you want to do this?” Fennel was shocked and could not figure out Philip’s intention for doing this. Philip said with a smile, “This is the only way to do it. Staying here forever is not a solution, so I might as well invite them to look at it.” Claus walked in at this moment and said with a smile, “That’s right. I share the same thought with Young Patriarch Clarke. If you want to deal with those people outside, you can only make it public. The secret treasure of the ancient
Three days later, the ancient sage's secret treasure viewing event was held in the most luxurious hotel in Mystic City. All the forces in the city and various figures from the outside world were invited to attend tonight's dinner party. Although there were few luxury cars in front of the hotel, famous people graced the red carpet. Among them, people from the Larson family and representatives from the Gentleman Court and the Alliance attended too. Representatives of various disciple families and some large domestic forces were also here to view the secret treasures of the ancient sage. When the dinner began, the hall was already packed. Everyone chatted in low voices about the secret treasures of the ancient sage. “What do you think this ancient sage's secret treasure looks like?” “Who knows? But I heard that the secret treasure can help a powerhouse at the peak of the seventh zone to enter a half-step to the other shore directly!” “Really? We can watch a good show tonig
Claus Motley walked out from the back of the hall with a smile and greeted everyone, “Everyone, do excuse me for being late. I had to take care of some private matters.” As Claus spoke, he was already standing next to the main seat. Everyone nodded slightly to Claus. After that, Claus did not sit on the main seat but smiled at everyone and said, “I’m not the host for tonight.” Having said that, he stood on one side, looked at the door, and announced, “Let’s welcome Young Patriarch Clarke.” Then, Philip walked in with Fennel and the others. Tonight, Philip wore a dark gray suit with shoes, looking handsome and imposing. Especially that pair of well-defined eyes with a faint chill that made everyone avert their eyes. This young man’s presence was too compelling. Philip took his seat, and everyone looked at each other. An old man with a walking cane spoke up at this moment, “We’ve long heard of Young Patriarch Clarke’s reputation. I didn’t expect you to be so young. Yo
The knife and fork flew at Keith with extreme speed and force! Keith sneered, snorted coldly, and said, “Hmph, young man, you’re out of your depths!” While saying that, the slap he launched had already collided with the knife and fork! Boom! It could be clearly seen the knife and fork broke through Keith’s attack with great force and pierced through Keith’s palm with two poofs, spraying blood all over! “Argh! How dare you, young man!” Keith retracted his hand, his face full of anger! He actually suffered a loss in front of a young man in the early stage of the seventh zone! All the guests present were shocked by this scene. They thought that Philip would definitely suffer in Keith’s hands, but the outcome was reversed! Keith Stafford was a powerhouse in the late stage of the seventh zone, but he was injured by a junior in the early stage of the seventh zone! “Whoa, what happened? Keith Stafford was defeated in one move!” “Oh my, how strong is Young Patriarch Cla
Philip’s kick landed on Keith’s chest, which sent him flying a few meters away before he fell heavily to the ground! Everyone was shocked by this scene! Keith rolled to the ground, clutched his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Philip with dilated pupils and said, “W-What is going on? Why did I lose my strength?” Philip sneered, showed the white jade box in his hand to everyone, and said, “That’s because what I hold in my hand is the secret treasure of the ancient sage that everyone wants to see tonight!” Whoa! The crowd was in an uproar! Everyone’s eyes popped wide open as they stared at the white jade box in Philip’s hands. Was this the secret treasure of the ancient sage? Everyone’s minds raced. The secret treasure of the ancient sage was right in front of them now. It would be a lie if they said they did not want it. Lying on the floor, Keith looked at the white jade box in Philip's hand and said, “Can this ancient sage's secret treasure supp
The hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone’s eyes focused on the old man in fancy clothes. Claus was also taken aback when he saw the old man. He whispered in Philip’s ear, “Young Patriarch Clarke, this person has a solid background. He’s from the Imperial Palace and is one of the four chiefs. His name is Tyson Floyd, and his strength is unfathomable. Even the Imperial Preceptor has to show him some respect.” Hearing this, Philip frowned as he looked at the old man in fancy clothes. The old man looked very kind and friendly, and his eyes seemed wise. He smiled and put down the teacup in his hand. He looked at Philip and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, can you let me take a look at the secret treasure of the ancient sage?” Everyone in the hall held their breath at the request. This old man was from the Imperial Palace. he was the person with the highest status here! Tyson Floyd almost entered the Imperial Palace back then. The first half of his life could be described as s
Everyone looked in the direction of the old man who spoke. The old man had a ruddy and youthful face. He looked very energetic. Tyson frowned as a chill flashed in the corner of his eyes. He said, “Holt Woods, this is Northwest Mystic City. It’s my territory, not your Heavenly Court! I don’t need your permission to make a decision!” The old man in a suit laughed and said, “Tyson Floyd, do you think you can stop Heavenly Court if we really want to interfere? Even if the Imperial Preceptor were here today, he wouldn’t dare to question my actions, let alone you!” Bang! Tyson smacked the table and suddenly exploded with a strong aura no less than a half step to the other shore, which swept over the other party. He said coldly, “Presumptuous! How dare you belittle the Imperial Preceptor in our country? You have crossed the line!” Boom! This angry shout frightened everyone so much that they glanced at each other! It was like the sound of thunder! However, Holt Woods was not
“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
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
