Philip frowned and said coldly, “She promised me that she’d show me around this place.” The man pushed his glasses, and rays of light exploded from his body. His strength was the middle stage of eight stars, and that aura made Roscoe breathless. “She doesn’t have that authority here.” After saying that, the man pulled Brianna, who kept her head lowered, and was about to enter the elevator. Roscoe barely recovered and shouted at the girl, “Brianna, come back if you don't like this place!” The girl turned her head and smiled at Roscoe. The elevator doors closed quickly, but the two saw the tears in Brianna’s eyes. The guards stepped forward and said to the two sternly, “You can leave now.” Roscoe lowered his head without a word, but he did not want to leave. Philip took Roscoe out without saying a word. After getting into the car, Philip said to the sluggish Roscoe, “Kid, do you drink?” Before Roscoe could answer, Philip parked the car in front of a bar on a commercial
Roscoe passed out drunk on the table after a few drinks, still holding the Nine Lunar Technique tightly in his hands. Philip was about to take Roscoe to find a place to sleep when he was hit on the back of the head with a wine bottle. Although the hit was not forceful, Philip was caught off guard. The aftereffect of the alcohol was quite strong that it rendered Philip’s reaction a little slow. Philip turned around and stared at the bald man behind him holding a broken bottle. Before Philip could speak, the bald man asked, “Did you touch my wife’s ass just now?” A seductive woman pretending to be pitiful stood behind the bald man with a bunch of vicious-looking people. Some regular customers recognized these people. They would blackmail and threaten anyone whom they thought was rich. Relying on their numbers, they made a lot of money through this method. Since this matter had nothing to do with them, none of the regular customers stepped forward to help for fear of getti
The senior officials of the ancient dragon royal family received news that Philip had fled back to the White Marsh royal family and made a stern diplomatic statement, raising strong objections against sending spies to the other party. However, after the White Marsh royal family received this allegation, they were at a loss. Only members of the royal family could inherit the mark of the White Marsh, so where did this Philip Clarke come from? After checking the photos, the White Marsh royal family confirmed that this person was not one of theirs, and because Philip could utilize the White Marsh mark, they decided to arrest him. “Gentlemen, we should be going.” The woman in the White Marsh royal family outfit got up and said. “What a hassle.” The bearded man reluctantly finished his drink and said. The woman called up the nearby surveillance through her tablet, and the screen showed Philip going into a high-end hotel. “Is he really that cocky? How interesting,” the bearded
“Damn it!” The woman steered the car to the window, looked at the wide open window, gritted her teeth, and said, “It seems that he has escaped.” “This kid is really fast.” The bearded man pursed his lips, nudged the spectacled man next to him, and said, “You still need to develop your mental strength.” After a while, several vehicles with the logo of the White Marsh royal family rushed over, led by two eight-star powerhouses. Although one felt very strong, his power was unstable. He seemed to have just reached the late stage of eight stars, while the other person was in the middle stage of eight stars. They opened the door and went in. Roscoe woke up from his sleep groggily. Seeing the roomful of White Marsh royal family, he jolted to his senses. He was about to call for Philip when he found that Philip had disappeared. “So you don’t know anything about him.” “I was just hitching a ride with him, so how would I know anything?” Roscoe guessed that these people must be
“What?” Hearing this difficult challenge, the guy hesitated. “Are the people of Lily Sword Court all talk but no action?” Seeing no response from the other party, Philip said. “I’m not afraid of you!” With that said, the guy raised his sword and chanted under his breath. The guy’s sword intent soared, and his clothes flapped in the blowing wind. It was not bad for a seven-star practitioner to produce such sword intent, but it was not enough for Philip. Finally, the man's sword intent reached a certain peak, and he opened his eyes. His face was red as he slashed his sword at the lake. Bang! Crack! The lake water splashed more than ten feet high following this green sword energy. The man gasped and yelled at Philip, “What do you think?” Philip applauded and said, “Not bad, not bad.” “It’s your turn!” “What’s the hurry?” Philip held the Caelum Sword, and strong sword intent instantly enveloped the sword body. Compared to the man's chaotic and raging sword int
After Billy was taken away, the sound of whipping was heard not far away accompanied by Billy’s painful howls. The court master turned to Philip and said, “Our court rules were created to protect our members who have just learned how to fly with the sword, but it’ll be organized collectively and then notified to all parties to restrict the airspace. It’s really inappropriate for Billy to change the rules privately. As for the rules, we’ll make some changes, so you may rest assured.” The court master saw Philip's imposing manner and explained patiently. The rule was not as bureaucratic as Philip thought, so it did not matter if they made no changes, but Philip was happy to have taught Billy a lesson. “If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave. I’ll visit again if there’s a chance in the future.” Seeing that Philip was about to leave, the female sword practitioner from earlier stepped up and told the court master about Philip’s sword strike just now. “Are you serious? Did
Seeing Philip unmoved, Chase asked, “What is the purpose of your trip this time?” “Special herbs.” “In that case, you should really go to the First Continent. You can find all the special herbs in the territory of the fire phoenix royal family that can’t be found in the ancient dragon royal family.” Philip did not reply. He could not reveal his whereabouts to others. After the meal, Chase noticed that Philip had no intention of staying. He insisted on giving Philip an elder’s token with Lily Sword Court engraved on it. He said, “Elder Clarke, please leave us your contact details.” Unable to argue with this person, Philip had to exchange his contact information with him. Philip set off again. After a while, he received the names of several forces sent to him by Court Master Nunez, complete with their leaders’ information. Presumably, these must be the friendly forces mentioned by the court master earlier. This person was a little interesting. Philip smiled as he thought so
Philip felt a little creeped out as he looked at the old man with only half a body intact holding his thigh. He said, “What are you talking about?” Suddenly, black mist exuded all over the old man’s body. He cackled and said, “I said I can live!” The old man's mental strength suddenly jumped out and attacked Philip. “Oh no!” As this mental strength invaded, Philip realized that the other party was trying to take possession of his body. His consciousness went black, and he fell into the bottomless transparent mucus below. Philip's body was like transparent white jade, and only the hair on his body was corroded. At this time, the old man was confronting Philip in his consciousness. “My body is useless now, so use your body to save me.” After saying that, he pounced on Philip. This old man should be quite close to the holy tier before this, so his mental strength was also very powerful. Even if Philip was in his consciousness, he could barely withstand the attack. “You
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
