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.
Emery was watching the excitement, but he was taken aback by Delia’s enamored behavior. As a bystander, he could not bear seeing that. Emery coughed as a reminder to Delia, but she continued staring at Philip in admiration as if she did not hear him at all. In desperation, Emery had no choice but to nudge Delia on her head. “Stop looking at others like that!” Delia smiled in embarrassment at her father’s words. She thought she was stealthy enough, but everything was out in the open. “Oh no, was I that obvious?” Delia did not pay attention to the fight at all, which was out of her hands. She simply had to act pretty and wait for victory. As everyone was waiting for the next step, the members of the Pill Guild escorted two people over. The members of the Pill Guild were already frightened out of their wits by the scene just now, and their legs were trembling. Although they were practitioners, they were the weakest bunch of all. At first, they thought the guild l
Martha shouted frantically, afraid that Philip would give up on her. Skeeter glanced at Martha in displeasure. This woman was really annoying. Maurice condoned Martha’s yelling. The more excited she was, the more anxious Philip would be. “Stop shouting. This is the territory of the Smith Guild. Can’t you see how miserable these people look? They’ll definitely let us go. With my status here, what can they do?” Skeeter said in dissatisfaction, feeling very disdainful of Martha's cowardly behavior. Martha frowned at his sarcasm. “Hehe, when they first captured you, your behavior was worse than mine. Why were you not disgusted when you knelt and begged for mercy?” Martha was an arrogant person by nature. After enduring so much fear, she finally vented. Hearing their argument, Maurice glanced at Philip triumphantly. “Haha, Philip and Emery, as you can see, your people are completely at our mercy. If you want to save them, let’s have a chat. I won’t give in to you this time
Aslan could not stand this annoying woman any longer. He stepped forward and slapped Martha in the face. Martha immediately calmed down, but her battered face became worse. Philip nodded with satisfaction and agreed with Aslan's approach. Although he wanted to do it, he knew he could not. He was happy that someone did it on his behalf. “Am I safe now?” Martha exclaimed, pleasantly surprised that she was back to safety. Skeeter panicked at Martha’s rescue. “What about me? Save me!” Skeeter had no idea what he should do. It did not look like Emery was going to save him. Skeeter tried to speak to Emery, “Guild Leader!” His voice trembled with anxiety, fearing that Emery would ignore him. If Emery wanted to save him, he would have done so already. However, he took no action and even seemed like he was watching the fun. Skeeter was very worried about his attitude. In fact, Maurice was more worried than Skeeter. He did not expect that Philip would choose to
Skeeter was horrified that Emery would give up on him. As the guild’s senior member, he knew exactly how important his position was. The guild leader had never spoken harshly to him no matter what he did. That gave him all the confidence he needed. However, Emery disappointed him today. Emery was about to give up on an elite weaponsmith such as him. “Guild Leader, I recently found a new method of weaponsmithing. I’m sure that it can replace some traditional methods.” Skeeter was very worried to see Emery ignoring him. He started talking nonsense to display his value. Once he caught Emery’s attention, Emery would save him. The most important thing now was to survive. Even if Emery found out that he was lying, nothing would happen. After all, Emery was very lenient on him. “Cut the crap. An annoying person like you deserves this!” Delia said disdainfully. She had always found Skeeter to be a nasty person. Everyone felt very happy about Skeeter’s comeuppance.
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
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
