Several men in black pinned Poppyโs parents to the ground with daggers on their necks. Poppy hesitated at this scene. If Poppy had left without looking back, maybe she might not have been threatened by this. โWhat are you doing?โ Poppyโs eyes filled with tears. โCome at me. Donโt touch my parents!โ Poppy ran to the men in black. Poppy's strength had improved greatly, so it should be easy to deal with a few men in black. The men in black did not expect that Poppy would attack them, not to mention her powerful strength. The ones nearest to her did not react in time and were kicked to the ground with their weapons taken away. Poppy was so furious that she picked up the dagger and started slashing at them, ending their lives. Ever since Poppy practiced the skills and techniques given by Philip, she could crush them in all aspects. Poppy was very talented in her practice, and none of the other partyโs attacks landed on Poppy at all. In the blink of an eye, Poppy killed
They never thought that their daughter would become so strong, but the outcome was the same. They had captured Poppy and thus could ensure the Wisteria family's safety for decades. It was a fair deal. The patriarch of the Wisteria family stepped out of the darkness. โThe two of you are so cruel that you can even harm your daughter,โ the patriarch said in disdain. Although he was happy that Poppy had been captured, the coupleโs behavior was a disgrace. โAlas, we have no other choice. Weโre doing this for the future of the whole family. If sacrificing my daughter can ensure our familyโs prosperity, itโs the best choice!โ Mrs. Wisteria said with great emotion as if she was very experienced in doing this. Poppy was pinned to the floor miserably. โMiss Poppy!โ At this moment, another woman was dragged out by force. She called Poppy pitifully, and she looked as if she had been tortured beyond recognition. Although the other party had wounds all over her body, Poppy recogn
At this moment, Mr. Wisteria exclaimed, โOh, Poppy gave me a pill earlier to heal my injuries too. The effect is simply incredible. Patriarch, I think you should search Poppy and see if sheโs carrying more pills on her.โ Mr. Wisteria's suggestion finally broke Poppyโs limit. Poppy sneered when she saw some people eagerly approaching her. โSince I dare to use it openly, it proves that I don't have many on hand. If you really want it, you can get it from my teacher. All my things are at my teacher's place!โ Poppy was smart enough to divert the attention. She would be safe if she could direct these people to look for her teacher. After all, Mr. Lindell was staying with Philip, and they could handle any danger together. Poppy was very confident in Philip's strength. Taking care of these losers would be nothing. โHaha, don't worry. Weโll look for your teacher, but not now.โ The patriarch seemed to have read Poppyโs thoughts. He waved his hand smugly and ordered his men to se
Poppy still felt a burning pain on her face until now. That slap brought Poppy back to reality. She finally realized what it meant to be alone. The status as the eldest young lady of the Wisteria family sounded very nice, but Poppy had to bear a lot of burden. Poppy knew that she was not up to it. As Poppy was being taken away, Penny explained the situation to her. โIt's because of Dustinโs return. Our family wants to join him, so they want to give you to him! At first, they wanted to trick you into staying, but now that you've become so strong, they have to do this instead.โ Penny had been tortured for a while and knew the inside story. Poppy sighed. Just a few hours ago, Poppy learned about the conflict between Dustin and her teacher, but the aftermath followed so quickly. โOkay, don't worry. If anything happens, I wonโt leave by myself. Iโll definitely take you with me!โ Poppy vowed. Poppy had suffered a great blow.โฆ On the other hand, Philip and the others w
Only Philip was able to see through the barrier, so Lyle and the others could only wait for Philip to tell them what he saw. โPoppy is locked up inside the cage,โ Philip enunciated each word. Everyone was dumbfounded to hear that. From the looks of it, it was Dustinโs handiwork. Aslan and Lyle wanted to deal with Dustin at once. In their opinion, Dustin was behind this. However, Philip stopped them. โDonโt worry, Poppy is with another woman. They're in pretty good shape, so we donโt have to act rashly for the time being. โLetโs enter the training ground first and try to get close to Dustin to figure out why he captured Poppy.โ Philip was a person with great foresight and knew his priorities. Acting rashly now would only ruin all plans. No one objected to Philipโs suggestion. Since Poppy was fine for now, they could wait a little longer. They had time to deal with Dustin after they entered the training ground. โIt's a pity that Poppyโs storage ring is with me. She
However, Dustin included Kemp in his plans. โHehe, youโll get a chance if you perform well later. Iโve given you the direction, but how much you can get will depend on your ability,โ Dustin said. He had aged a lot in the past few days. Therefore, Dustin could hardly wait to absorb some practitionersโ blood essence to maintain his youth. He was prepared to go all out to use an ancient secret technique to summon a legendary existence. Once he summoned it and allowed it to possess him, his strength would increase rapidly and his body functions would return to their youthful state. However, the price was great. He had to sacrifice the blood essence of at least 5,000 practitioners to summon that ancient being. Therefore, he used this training to attract those stupid practitioners to sacrifice their lives for him. โWe donโt have to kill everyone. We need to leave a few lucky ones to let everyone know that Iโm sincere about recruiting apprentices. So, you have to play your par
Lyle's learning ability was the best Aslan had ever seen. Even Mr. Lindell was no match for him. โHehe, if I can learn more, Iโll take his place soon enough! I made a bet with him earlier. If I can learn the art of formations or weaponsmith in this duration, heโll give me the position of senior apprentice!โ Lyle said smugly. He would go all out to win this bet. Philip did not comment. He was not bothered about their titles in private. Philip was happy with this learning atmosphere. After some time, they finally reached their destination. Philip and others became solemn. โPhilip, do you feel that?โ Aslan glanced at Philip seriously. He was in no mood to joke around now. โOf course.โ Philip frowned and looked around but found nothing suspicious. As soon as they entered this place, Philip felt something was wrong. The evil energy around them was so strong that it made him feel very uncomfortable. Similarly, Aslan was a monster beast with strong positive energy, so
โThat damn geezer just left us here?โ Aslan snorted, feeling that the evil energy was getting stronger. Lyle frowned as he looked around warily. โThat guy must have mastered the method to open the training ground. Once the place is activated, the surrounding evil energy will become more and more intense, and all sorts of monsters and evil spirits will appear soon,โ Philip quickly guessed the situation. He quickly took out his weapon and stood ready, and the others followed his cue. Everyone was certain that Dustin was up to no good. Although the others were scared, they followed Philipโs cue. They held their weapons nervously and carefully observed their surroundings. The timid women formed a team of their own, worried about their safety. At this time, a man stepped forward heartily. โWhat are you guys afraid of? We just need to kill some evil spirits. Isnโt it a piece of cake for practitioners?โ He looked at the trembling women with disdain and annoyance. The women
โWow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.โ 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 Hogsterโs 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. โHeโs quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,โ 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. โArenโt you very full of yourself? Keep going.โ Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. โStop!โ 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. โIโm the pride of the Hexa Guild while youโre just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,โ Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. โMy favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?โ His remark struck the Hexa Guildโs 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. โHehe, cut the crap. Weโll know the outcome after a fight!โ 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. โLetโs see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that weโre no match for them.โ 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
โThis is interesting.โ 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. โOh, I see, youโre the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.โ Vannaโs opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. โThe outcome has yet to be determined. I donโt think youโre any better either.โ After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vannaโs provocation. โVery well. Since you donโt know whatโs good for you, let me show you what Iโm capable of!โ 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 partyโs 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 Philipโs kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. โI know that your wine can improve someoneโs strength, but itโs no help to us right now!โ The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyoneโs comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. โMy 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!โ Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. โMaybe 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.โ 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. โPhilip, donโt you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,โ 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 peopleโs strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. โDon't think too much. There is a problem with them, and itโs 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.โ 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. โWhat should we do? All th
โYou should prepare for the competition.โ Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. โWhich guild does Philip belong to?โ 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. โPhilip doesn't belong to any guild, but heโs an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!โ 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
โI can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think sheโd appear there?โ Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. โIโll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman youโre looking for, Iโll think of a way.โ 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. โSure!โ 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. โIโll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,โ 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. โWhat?โ The old monk gaped at
