Members of the Pill Guild were infuriated by Skeeter’s smugness and wondered how he could be so annoying. “Let’s teach him a good lesson!” “How dare he show his ugly face in front of us? How shameless!” “Is he older than Martha? We actually beat up an old man today.” “What’s the big deal with an old man? He deserves it!” “We don't know who this guy is anyway. He’s just a loser our elder picked up.” Everyone chatted with no intention of stopping. Skeeter overheard the conversation and understood. These people were so brazen because they did not know how noble his status was. “You don’t know my identity?!” Skeeter roared and struggled. Everyone was puzzled and wondered. “I’m the senior member of the Smith Guild, Skeeter! You guys are bullying me with your numbers! Do you know the consequences of messing with the Smith Guild?” Skeeter shouted angrily as if to hide his pain. Everyone was surprised by this coincidence. The elder simply grabbed a random person who tur
They hurried back to make some plans to attack. They saw Skeeter standing aside smugly. This man looked very triumphant with disdain written all over his face. Skeeter scowled at the new arrivals and asked, “Who are you?” He felt as if he had full control over these guys, but another group of people turned up again. They seemed like ordinary people with no practice levels. Skeeter nudged the member next to him and pointed at Maurice. “Tell this guy who I am,” Skeeter said unhappily. Fortunately, he had recruited several followers, which saved him a lot of trouble. As the senior member of the Smith Guild, he could go anywhere he wanted, and no one dared to do anything to him—at least in the practice world. The so-called followers were amazed by Skeeter’s audacity. Besides, who was Skeeter to give them orders? The members walked up to Maurice and greeted him. They were not as brainless as Skeeter. Maurice was their guild leader. No matter how stupid they were, t
“But I can’t tell you much about it. Every guild has its secrets, you know.” Skeeter spoke pretentiously, which not only highlighted his status but also prevented Maurice from asking more questions. Maurice was very satisfied with Skeeter’s reaction. “Okay, since you know so much, it’s better for us.” He waved his hand as a signal for his people to capture Skeeter. Everyone was quick on the uptake and understood his meaning. The members swarmed over and knocked the pretentious guy down. Skeeter was not very strong to begin with, and after consuming a lot of energy in the fight earlier, he was all the more unable to resist. Skeeter was pinned pathetically to the floor. He struggled to look up and said, “What are you guys doing? Do you remember who I am? You’ll end up dead if you dare to mess with the Smith Guild!” Skeeter was very angry that these people would dare to do this after knowing his identity. “Which guild do you belong to? Don’t think I’m afraid of you j
“It’d be great if the leader of the Smith Guild had your self-awareness.” Maurice smiled smugly. “Bring that woman here!” he said. Now that the hostages were in place, it was time to put the plan into action. The people from the Pill Guild marched to the Smith Guild.… Meanwhile, no one realized that Skeeter was missing. Skeeter was not a popular person, and his presence was not conspicuous. Everyone would feel better if he stayed away from them, so no one thought of looking for him even though he had been missing for a while. Philip and the others quickly came up with some plans, totally disregarding Skeeter’s unfounded plan. His plan was just to charge forward recklessly without thinking, but the Smith Guild was not the best at fighting. While there was still time, Philip led a team to set up a small formation. Delia learned seriously, afraid that she would miss something if she got distracted. Philip set up a formation in front of everyone, and Delia quickly
Maurice and his people had arrived at the Smith Guild. At first, they thought of attacking from the air, but they could not do so when they arrived in this area. It was difficult for them to walk, not to mention flying. Maurice was unwilling to give up and forced himself to remain standing. He would never kneel here. However, this was not a matter of sheer will but his physical ability. With a thud, Maurice fell to his knees. Everyone was shocked and hurried to help him up. They scowled as they found themselves kneeling next to Maurice the next second. They realized that they could no longer control their bodies. Maurice scowled as he guessed something. “Damn it, these people actually came up with a formation!” Maurice never expected this. Maurice was aware that the Smith Guild was learned in the art of formations, but he never thought that this formation was so powerful. Anyone wanting to attack them would be trapped inside, while anyone with peace of mind co
Having realized this, Emery was quite lighthearted. Whether the plan succeeded or not, he had nothing to fear with Philip around. At this time, Maurice was worried, and his people were panicking. They entered the formation by mistake, and everyone had suffered various wounds. This formation could attack them, resulting in various injuries. Everyone had the idea of retreating. They did not expect that a small formation could be so powerful. Delia was pleasantly surprised at their misery. So what if it was an ordinary formation? They could not escape from it. Everyone was frustrated about the formation around them. Maurice was all the angrier that this protection barrier was so powerful. “Damn it, why didn’t they use such a powerful formation earlier? Maurice said solemnly, trying to think of a way out. Everyone was flustered by his words. They would be dead if Maurice could not find a way out. Skeeter and Martha looked at each other as they stood behind the c
With their energy cores destroyed, there was no way they could continue practicing. Ordinary people could not make pills. Maurice could not bear losing half his members in one go. “Damn it, you went too far!” Maurice could not bear it anymore and started attacking the formation without qualms. He believed that as long as his attacks were stronger than the formation, he could escape. Philip and the others felt that they were very pitiful too. Seeing the heavy casualties, Philip deactivated the formation without hesitation. He did not expect that the formation he found in the book would be so powerful. This result had exceeded his imagination. The remaining opponents could hardly pose a threat to the Smith Guild now. The people trapped in the formation watched helplessly as Maurice attacked the formation frantically. Everyone pinned all their hopes on Maurice. Maurice was badly attacked by the formation and kept throwing up blood. Several of his ribs were broken.
“Philip, you'd better not push it too far.” Maurice gritted his teeth and scowled at the sight of his people behind him. Many of them died tragically. “I have to kill you to seek justice for my people.” Maurice was aware of his responsibilities. He would be doomed if he gave in. If he could not deal with the Smith Guild, he would lose his people’s trust. It would be a great blow to their dignity as a reclusive guild if they could not even handle some riffraff of the secular practice world. “The Pill Guild is a well-known existence in the reclusive practice world. I’ll never allow you to lord over us!” His wounds had stopped bleeding, and his scars looked very dramatic. However, no one from the Smith Guild sympathized with him. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. When the Pill Guild used their strength to overwhelm others, did they consider other people’s feelings? They were simply unwilling to accept the fact that they were the loser instead of the winner.
“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
