“Philip, we've been surrounded,” Aslan said to Philip warily. He knew that this thing was not simple, at least nothing he had seen before. “This thing is eerie Quite spooky, indeed.” Philip decided to wait and observe before making a move, sensing this strange atmosphere. At this moment, Philip suddenly felt something attacking him from behind. It was not a pleasant feeling. “Boo-hoo, is there a kind Samaritan willing to save me?” An androgynous voice rang in Philip's ears, making him feel very uncomfortable. The voice whistled in Philip’s ears like a ghost as if harassing Philip. Aslan heard the noise and frowned in displeasure. “Stop fooling around and come out at once!” he roared in anger. He wished he could catch this arrogant and domineering fellow and beat them up. Philip calmed down and searched through Verge Tower. He felt as if he had missed something. He looked around Verge Tower for a while and finally found a small flag. “I think this thing can control t
“Philip, I feel like the day is getting closer,” Aslan said in a low voice when everyone was present. His hunch was very accurate. Fennel nodded. He felt a bad premonition too. When everyone was gathered, the whole world shook. Philip frowned and looked outside. The sky had turned dark and gloomy. The others looked at Philip solemnly, waiting for his orders. They knew that the crisis was finally upon them. The people of Mistral Temple rushed back in horror. They did not expect this day to arrive so quickly. “Why has it been brought forward?” Everyone stood in front of Philip in a panic, waiting for his orders. He was the only person they could rely on now. Philip did not speak but observed the changes in the world. It was impossible to stop the changes from happening. Ordinary people huddled in their houses in fear, watching the changes in the world in shock. All communication signals had been disrupted, and only static remained on their TVs. Many people tried to ca
Moreover, many practitioners had been busy with sealing activities recently, so the rest thought this had nothing to do with them. Although they were worried and lamented their weakness in this situation, they thought someone would save them eventually. However, they were wrong. Philip had never thought of saving such practitioners. If they had chosen to join the reinforcement team earlier, Philip would not give up on them easily. However, since these people were only concerned about themselves, Philip would not help them. The practitioners who had joined Philip’s team were now gathered at the villa, observing the world nervously. Philip was grateful for their help during this time. Similarly, they received corresponding rewards for their efforts. Philip would reward them with a pill when they went out for a mission. They earned a lot of money these days. Facing such drastic changes, those with treasures on hand were more unwilling to die. “What should we do? I’m sure
Martha was nervous and grabbed the hem of her husband's clothes, at a loss for what to do. “What’s going on? They've been so busy these days, but the effect is getting worse!” Martha grumbled, unhappy with everyone's efficiency. “Powerful practitioners like them should produce good results in whatever they do, but more and more are appearing. If the location of this villa wasn’t good enough, we’d have been dead already!” Martha read a lot of news during this time and knew that many places had fallen. She was worried that this place would be next. Fortunately, because many practitioners lived nearby and this area belonged to the academy, nothing much happened around here. Other than some screams and shouts, it was quite safe. However, the sky suddenly turned dark today, and they felt the pressure even though they turned on the lights. It was different from a normal night. If they did not turn on the lights while walking on the road now, they would be shrouded in the dark a
It seemed that the spirits wanted to take over human bodies and live again. Of course, Philip had to be prepared for such spooky things. After all, most people believed in ghosts and monsters while growing up, and they were exposed to knowledge about terrifying spirits. These spirits were not only good at scaring people but also harming them! Thus, Philip knew that these spiritual entities were the greatest threat to humans. “You have to take this sachet with you no matter where you go!” The parents of ordinary families quickly educated their kids. To prevent the kids from losing the sachet, they put it in their clothes. At this time, an eight-year-old child tore off the sachet from his clothes in disdain and threw it to the ground. “Who'd believe this bullshit?” This kid was known as a local bully with a bad temper since he was a child. He was unwilling to listen to others. “This sachet has no fragrance at all. It looks like an ugly package. I’m a boy. I won’t carry
The kid had no protection and had no choice but to allow the eerie presence to enter his body. “Ah! Mom, Dad, what is this thing?” The kid screamed as if he had seen something spooky. The couple just stared at their son. They wanted to help, but there was nothing they could do. The kid had been shrouded in a black fog, and they could not even see him. “My son!” The couple sobbed and wanted to save their son, but they were at a loss for what to do. “Let’s find the practitioners. They must have a way to save my son!” The woman shoved her husband hysterically, forcing him to go out and find the practitioners. The man sighed as he looked at the dark sky outside. He took out a flashlight from the drawer and illuminated it outside. The powerful flashlight seemed to have lost its function and could not light up the area at all. In the past, this flashlight could illuminate at least dozens of meters away, which was the reason he bought it. He was really scared now. “I
The couple finally realized what it was like to be blind. As the two walked down the stairs according to their memories and headed in the direction of the academy, a familiar voice came from the right. “Teehee, Mom and Dad, why are you leaving without me?” The couple screamed in unison. The man waved the sachet back and forth in front of him. Suddenly, his right hand hit something, and the sachet in his hand fell to the floor. The next second, he lost his voice. Similar scenes happened in every ordinary family. Those who listened to instructions hid in their rooms without encountering any problems. If there was one disobedient person in a family, things would end up in a massacre. Philip had no time to bother about it. The sachets he made were meant to be salvation for ordinary people. At this moment, the sealed land had fallen. Philip saw a door of the villa slowly open. Maybe the other party chose to open this door because they sensed the presence of the sealing
“We can't know for sure if we can find something that makes people stronger, but this door is enough to drive some people crazy.” Philip could tell that something was definitely strange about this door. Just one door made so many practitioners lose their minds to the point of self-mutilation, which proved how powerful and weird it was. With a sudden buzz, the sealed door exploded with a white light that shrouded everyone. Before Philip and the others could react, the white light took everyone away. By the time everyone returned to their senses, they found themselves on a barren land. An abyss lay in front of them, clearly a dead end. They could only turn back. “Is this what it looks like in the sealed land?” Philip was confused to find himself there. “Verge Tower, why was I sucked in?” Philip could not figure it out. He had too many secrets. Everything would be over if he was exposed. Philip asked Verge Tower, curious to find out why he was taken in by the stone doo
“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
