A vast snow-capped mountain sprawled before their eyes. The rolling mountains looked like a giant dragon lying across the land. The mountains were towering and uninhabited. Even with the current technology, setting foot on Cochly Mountain would be a perilous experience. It had been shrouded in mystery since ancient times with numerous records of Cochly Mountain in history. As for whether a god existed here, no one knew nor could it be verified. Anyhow, Cochly Mountain had always been a revered place in the country. Philip looked at the sprawling snow-capped mountains and was filled with emotion. In this vast nature, human beings were so small and insignificant. The power of nature was simply amazing. The ravines between those mountains looked like they were cut by swords of men. What sort of power could carve such a mountain? The guardian maiden held the Beelzebub in her arms and looked at the endless Cochly Mountain through the porthole. She pursed her lips as if s
Almost immediately, everyone fell and died! Philip flicked the golden Desert Eagle he had pulled out, looked at the corpses helplessly, and said, “It looks like we’re not welcomed.” Fennel and the others also put away their weapons, walked over, and said coldly, “They couldn’t wait to kill us the moment we arrived. Those behind this aren’t that simple.” Philip stared into the distance with a frown and said, “Let’s take one step at a time. Cochly Mountain is much more complicated than we thought.” Then, he looked at 17 behind him and said, “Clean the mess up. Don’t leave any traces behind.” 17 nodded and quickly cleaned up the place with a few members of the Shadow Guards. After that, they changed into the uniforms of these Cochly Mountain guards and walked toward the armored vehicles in the distance. The guardian maiden seemed quite interested in the events and followed Philip while asking, “Who are you? Why were the guards of Cochly Mountain trying to kill you?” Philip
The two jeeps stopped because everyone had to get out of the cars and walk from there. They got out of the cars, looked at each other, and walked toward the guards at the gate. Several guards came over and glanced at Philip and the others. They looked at their documents and asked, “You don't belong to this area. Why are you here?” Philip was wearing the uniform of the guards of Cochly Mountain and said in a low voice, “We need to escort the guardian maiden back.” “The guardian maiden?” The captain of the guard raised his brows and looked sideways at Janike behind Philip. Immediately, he stepped forward and asked for Janike’s documents with a respectful expression on his face. Then, he said to Philip and the others, “We’ll take over the escort duty from now on. You can go back to the first line of defense!” Hearing this, Philip’s face darkened, but the other party could not see it through his mask. Janike quickly said, “No need, they’ll escort me.” The captain of the g
Philip still held the gun against the man’s head and watched as Fennel and the others went through the gate smoothly with Janike before he slowly walked inside. After they entered, the man angrily threw his hat on the ground and roared, “What's going on with this first line of defense? Are they crazy?” As he vented his anger, a voice suddenly came from the headset, “Everyone, alert! Outsiders have infiltrated Cochly Mountain! The seventh squad of the first line of defense has been killed!” Hearing this, the man's expression changed. His eyes widened as he looked at the departing backs of Philip and the others. He roared, “After them! They’re spies!” In an instant, several teams gave chase. After Philip and the others passed through the huge city wall, they strayed off the main road and braved the wind and snow to enter the nearby mountains. At this moment, they lay on the edge of a nearby cliff and looked down at the search parties. Fennel sneered and said, “He guessed it
While Owen flew into a rage, a group of people in special combat uniforms stopped in front of the building in a jeep. Several men stepped out of the car with special medals on their shoulders. They were wearing snow robes. They looked around with icy eyes before walking into the building. The guard at the door wanted to stop them but stepped aside and let them through after seeing their documents. They walked directly into the meeting room in the deepest part of the building. “Commander Greene, the people from the Supernatural Bureau are here,” a secretary barged into the meeting room and said. Owen was venting his anger. Hearing the secretary’s words, his eyes became cold, and he said with a frown, “Let them wait outside.” However, as soon as he said that, those people barged into the meeting room and looked around coldly. The man in the lead had a square jaw, a beard, a serious face, and cold eyes. He looked at Owen and said, “Commander Greene, how are you?” Seeing
Derek looked at Owen and said, “Commander Greene, the Supernatural Bureau would like to have a detailed report about the guardian maiden’s incident.” “Derek Pascal, don’t go too far! The guardian maiden is Cochly Mountain’s important secret! It's impossible to tell you anything!” “Deputy Commander Pascal, you’re getting ahead of yourself. This is only your first day on duty. Be careful of attracting too much attention.” Some people began to reprimand harshly. Owen’s face was dark, and he frowned tightly. After a beat, he said, “Hand the report to Deputy Commander Pascal.” Soon, a secretary took out a detailed report about the guardian maiden’s getaway. Derek took it, got up, and said with a smile, “Thank you.” After that, Derek strutted away. After he left, Owen punched the table and said coldly, “Damn that Derek Pascal!” “Commander Greene, what’s the Imperial Preceptor trying to do? Why did he let the Supernatural Bureau work with us?” “We need to report this matte
After these four tall and burly men landed on the ground, their icy gazes swept over Philip and the others. Seeing the four guys who suddenly fell from the sky, Philip and the others got ready to fight. That was because the other party’s strength was not low. They were at least disciples from the sixth zone. The man in the lead even had the strength of the seventh zone. These four burly guys wore black steel armor, and their bulging muscles were exposed in the cold air. All of them held weapons, and the man in the lead had a giant sword emblazoned on his chest. His gloomy eyes swept across Philip and the others before he looked at Janike and said in a hoarse, low voice, “Guardian Maiden, come with us.” Janike stood behind Philip and the others with Beelzebub in her arms. With struggle and hesitation in her eyes, she finally shook her head and said, “I won't go back with you. I want to follow them.” The leader held a huge sword in his hand. He frowned, looked coldly at Phi
The burly man bellowed angrily. Philip frowned and backed away. At the same time, he pointed the snow sword in his hand to the sky, where a white sword formation suddenly appeared. The drifting snowflakes froze in the sword formation and merged into snow swords. With destructive sword intent, the swords pierced through the air and stabbed the man on the ground like missiles! Buzz! One after another, the white snow sword energy blasted at the burly man’s attack! Boom! In an instant, a terrifying energy vortex storm engulfed this area! Snowflakes danced in the air, and the cold wind felt like small knives cutting the skin! Philip’s eyes were filled with snowflakes, and he could not see the surroundings at all. The burly man also disappeared from his sight. Philip stood on the spot with the snow sword in his hand. His eyes became abnormally sharp as he searched for the burly man in the snow. Bang! Suddenly, a figure as strong as a mountain with a giant sword fell fro
“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
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
