Feeling the power from the stone, Philip believed the old man’s words a little. Seeing that Philip was still somewhat doubtful, the old man said to the other members of the White Marsh royal family, “You may return to the Jade Marsh Palace.” The leading eight-star and nine-star powerhouses hesitated for a moment but quickly took their leave. At this time, a little girl ran over, grabbed the old man's hand, hid behind him, and stared at Philip who was not far away. “Grandpa, he’s wearing clothes now.” “My good child, I told you he’s human.” “But he has no hair, and he looks very fierce.” These two did not treat Philip as an outsider and just chatted freely. Philip watched as the old man chatted with his granddaughter. After a while, he approached them. “Please excuse us. This is my eldest son's daughter.” The old man turned to the girl behind him and said, “Gladys, say hello.” Seeing Philip approaching, the girl shrank back even more. “I won’t eat you.” Philip
“Uh, I can’t tell you that.” Seeing the old man going straight to the point, Philip replied. “You should be from the ancestral land. No one here can secretly get the mark of the White Marsh royal family.” The old man's eyes were sharp, and Philip could only answer yes. The little girl opened a little gap in her room door and peeked at the two people in the living room. The two were silent for a while before the old man said thoughtfully, “Rather than the land of the sinned blood, I still prefer to call it the ancestral land.” That was right. This old man really was the former emperor of the White Marsh royal family! An indisputable holy-tier powerhouse! Philip was very nervous. He actually met the legendary emperor of the White Marsh royal family! This was a genuine holy-tier powerhouse! He was unexpectedly peaceful and approachable. Philip learned from the old man that he had four children. The eldest was currently in charge of the White Marsh royal family. The sec
After saying that, the old man raised his hand, exposing his forearm. He could hardly control the violent trembling, even if he was a holy-tier powerhouse. “I fought him once over this matter. I wanted to teach this rascal a lesson, but I didn’t expect to be so useless now that I’m old.” Philip could tell that the other party was helpless. “The food is ready, Mr. Clarke.” The old lady cleared the table and diffused the awkward atmosphere. Gladys was the first to run over and sit down at the dining table. The food was mostly home-cooked dishes but tasted delicious. The old lady said to the old man, “If you’d told me earlier that there’d be a guest, I’d have gone shopping.” “I get it,” the old man said impatiently as he ate. “See, he’s so impatient after just a few words.” Pursing her lips, the old lady served Philip some food and said, “Have some more. If it's not enough, I'll keep cooking.” Philip nodded. Putting aside their identities and his son’s problem, Phi
As Philip pushed the door open, he froze and said firmly, “I’ll make them regret ever coming, then. Also, I’ll be keeping your protective stone.” After saying that, he entered the elevator and waved goodbye to the three of them. Philip went downstairs and found a very burly figure standing in front of the entrance. From the light shining outside, he seemed to be wearing the outfit of the White Marsh royal family. The man crossed his arms and leaned against the door. When he saw Philip coming out, he said in a steady and powerful voice, “Did my father tell you anything unnecessary?” Philip guessed that this person was Mallow's eldest son, Salvatore Wisteria, currently the person with the highest authority in the White Marsh royal family. It was not surprising that he appeared here, and without any entourage around, this should be a private visit. “Nothing much. It was just a casual chat.” With that said, Philip was about to walk past him. “That's good, but I advise you
Philip sat in a dim private room with complete facilities. If not for the auction table under the transparent glass cover in front, this place would look more like a clubhouse. “Sir, if you want to make a bid, just enter the amount through this panel. The auction will start in about half an hour. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. There’s someone outside the room if you need help. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time.” After finding a good viewing spot and sitting down, Philip flipped through the auction items on a tablet, some of which caught Philip’s interest. He pressed a button, and a sexy woman walked in from outside. She said, “How may I help you, Sir?” “Can the item I bid for be offset with the item I put up for auction in terms of star dollars?” The few items that Philip took a fancy to were very important, but he was afraid his pocket was not deep enough. “Yes, Sir.” The woman replied, but seeing that Philip did not speak again, she as
“Let me introduce to you a mermaid captured from the west coast of the continent!” After the host finished speaking, everyone stood up one after another, wanting a clearer look. They took off the cloth, and there was a mermaid curled up in a transparent glass case—quite similar in appearance to those mermaids in the movies. The mermaid was curled up into a ball, and no one could see her face clearly. A person standing on the side pressed a button. An electric current surged in the small glass case, and the mermaid inside rolled and howled in pain. The mermaid’s brown-red curly hair floated in the water. Her skin was like crystal clear white jade, her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and her scales were a mysterious blue-purple of the ocean. “Oh dear, I can't let them torture such a cute woman like this. Seeing her is like a gift from God.” “Her face is simply perfect.” “I want to keep her in my fish pond and make her my precious collection!” “Hahaha, I want t
“Third Princess, I have my ways to get this thing, so you don’t have to spend so much money on it,” a young man on the side said. “That’s right, my dear sister. We can give something else if we can’t get this. My dad's latest research results this year are pretty good.” Seeing that Ayana's bidding had slowed down, Philip held on relentlessly and finally won the goggles at 644,000 star dollars. Philip felt a pang of heartache. He did not expect to spend so much for such a gadget. The crowd below had watched a good bidding war between two distinguished guests in the private rooms fighting over a gadget, and various rumors spread out quickly. Later, several weapons auctioned by Philip went on stage one after another. Some of them had good elemental effects, and a few people with a discerning eye kept increasing the prices, which Philip was happy to see. “The Five-Element Herb, due to the power of five elements, can’t be absorbed by people. But if you plant it in your room, it
“Oh?” Unexpectedly, the murderer was still nearby. Philip jumped up. He really wanted to see what the murderer looked like. A red-haired boy dressed in rags entered his sight. He carried a large fish tank on his back, which contained the mermaid that had just been auctioned off. The boy saw that Philip was just staring at him quietly. After putting the mermaid down, he revealed a pair of sharp claws stained with blood. “You don’t seem human,” Philip said lightly. Hiss! Roar! The boy crouched down and growled as if warning Philip not to approach him. “You probably don’t understand what I’m saying.” Suddenly, the boy bared his teeth and rushed over, waving his sharp claws. Philip had no choice but to knock him out and carry him over to the mermaid, who kept shrinking back in horror. However, there was only that much room in the glass case. With these two merpeople, Philip sneaked into the aquarium from earlier, which was closed at this time. When looking over them,
“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
