Suddenly, Philip felt someone breaking into the formation. Philip waved to Fennel and led them to the entrance. To his surprise, the person barging through the formation was someone unexpected. It was none other than Delia. Philip was curious to find out why the young leader of Smith Guild was here. He looked at Aslan, who used his token to deactivate the formation. Delia, who was trapped in the formation, felt her vision brighten. Aslan appeared in front of her. Delia became more cautious instead of relaxing. “A-Are you real or fake?” Delia asked solemnly. She was trapped in an illusory formation, and the fantasies tricked her into going around in circles. Fortunately, the formation was not offensive but simply pranked the victim. Delia felt helpless by Aslan's sudden appearance. “What are you talking about? I'm just standing here. How can I be fake?” Aslan rolled his eyes and pointed to the door. “Follow me or you’ll still be trapped in the formation,” Aslan
Besides, Philip was always busy and had no time to entertain visitors. He would always help his friends when they encountered problems regardless of whether they often contacted him or not. Delia blushed at Philip’s candidness. “Please excuse me.” Delia cleared her throat and finally told them everything. Everyone scowled upon hearing her story. It seemed that the reclusive factions had integrated with the secular world. They took the initiative to go after the larger guilds that played a certain role in this world, such as the Smith Guild, and proposed to take over the guilds. Of course, no respectable guild would ever agree to that, but once they refused, they were doomed. The reclusive factions were very powerful. Conquering the secular world by force posed no problems to them. “The Pill Guild of the reclusive world has not only taken over the Pill Guild of the secular world, but they also want to attack us,” Delia said resentfully. These people simply relied o
Although she did not know if his words were true, Delia was unwilling to say no to that face. “If that’s the case, what should we do? My father has been put under soft house arrest. If we refuse to give in, I’m sure they’ll do something!” Delia said nervously. If she did not save her father, he might end up dead from torture! Although the Pill Guild seemed decent on the surface, their methods were despicable and disgusting in reality. “What should we do now?” Fennel asked Philip. He was not interested in this matter at all. The outcome of the Smith Guild had nothing to do with him. However, the Pill Guild had a grudge against Philip. Now that they were here, they would come after Philip next. If they really managed to take over so many guilds, they would definitely become a huge threat in the future. Philip had a good impression of Delia and did not intend to sit idly by. “You guys stay here and deal with anything that crops up. Fennel and I will go over.” The mem
As royalty among the lions, it would feel better to ride Aslan, the lion king. Philip felt very smug about it, while Wynn glanced at him helplessly. Sure enough, men were always boys. These men were very childish when they got together. Under Delia’s lead, they set off for the Smith Guild with great expectations. Aslan was not aware of the conflict between the reclusive guilds and was curious about it. “This Pill Guild is weird. As a guild that specializes in alchemy, what gives them the right to act so arrogantly?” Aslan always felt that these guilds were devils without conscience and looked down on them. “As far as I know, the Pill Guild is full of people without conscience. They make some useless pills, charge sky-high prices for them, and always act arrogantly. “It’s a pity that even though everyone is unhappy with them, they have no choice but to buy pills from the Pill Guild because they've monopolized the whole market!” Aslan was a steadfast person. When he was
The people of the Pill Guild were extremely arrogant. The Smith Guild would never give in to them. “After all this time, you still refuse to surrender? This is outrageous!” a man in green said loftily. He looked around to see if he could find some timid people, but they were very strong-minded and refused to pay him any attention. “Wow, you guys are pretty prideful, huh? Let’s see exactly how good you are!” He grabbed someone and stomped on the other party. During the past few days after he entered the secular world, he came into contact with various modern gadgets which he thought were amazing. Personally, he preferred the modern lifestyle. He was an external senior member of the Pill Guild. He used to be an internal member, but he was ousted to become an external member due to misconduct. However, that did not affect his strength. He had had enough of eating the humble pie in the Pill Guild, so he wanted to make a comeback. This was a good opportunity for him to r
“Stop it!” Delia rushed forward angrily, wishing she could rip that arrogant guy apart. The man in green kept humiliating her people and did as he pleased just because he was stronger than them. As the young leader of the Smith Guild, Delia could not allow this to continue. After waiting for so long, the man in green did not expect to see Delia. They had been looking for Delia everywhere, but Emery Camas refused to reveal her whereabouts. Unexpectedly, she appeared without any effort on their part. This woman was really stupid for showing up even though everyone was trying their best to protect her. Philip and the others watched solemnly. They knew that Delia would not be in any danger, but she would be humiliated by them. At this time, Aslan had resumed his lion form. Philip rode on Aslan’s back and marched to the Smith Guild. The commotion was quite big, and the people who were trying to pry information from Emery also noticed something strange outside. They
However, the Pill Guild knew that the pills would fetch a better price in an auction. Philip would never sell it to them at a fixed price—unless Philip did not care about the price. Otherwise, the pill would only be sold for more, not less. No one would not appreciate such a perfect pill. Several other elders had mixed expressions too. Most of them did not attend the auction and were not aware of many things. They only knew that the guild leader bought some amazing pills from a man named Philip Clarke. They spent a fortune to buy these pills. The guild leader even had to bow down to the other party! They felt that the other party was not selling pills but belittling their dignity as the Pill Guild. Some members of the Pill Guild were unhappy about this while others thought they should look forward. The obstinate people felt that Philip could never seize their monopoly regardless. After all, it was one person against so many of them. No matter how good he was, it
How could the secular practice world produce any experts? However, things were different now. After Philip battled through the arena, they realized there were experts in the secular practice world too. However, their worry and respect were only given to Philip. They still looked down on others. Not everyone in this world could be Philip. There was no way there could be so many freaks. It was good enough to have one genius who could fight beyond his level! Plus the stoic man named Fennel next to Philip, there were only two of them. If the people of the reclusive practice world stood united, no one would be afraid of them. Maurice scowled at Philip’s remark. He was surprised that Philip was connected to the Smith Guild. “Are you saying that the young leader of the Smith Guild is your friend?” Maurice asked. He heard that the young leader of the Smith Guild was very beautiful, far better than the women in the reclusive practice world. She was also very proficient i
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“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
