Some people chose to buy weapons from Philip. Philip was not a philanthropist. He only sold weapons to people with better hopes of survival and ignored those who stood no chance. Dace nervously approached Philip. Although he was still headstrong, his gaze and tone were milder. “Um, can you sell me one?” Dace said nervously. He had conflicts with Philip’s subordinate, and Philip had reason to refuse. He glanced at Dace with interest. He did not expect that Dace would survive until now. Seeing his tenacity, Philip took out a big saber without hesitation. “Although you’re arrogant, I think you have hope to survive. If you can make it alive, stop following Dustin, and don’t fall into his trap.” Philip did not take his money but gave him a piece of advice. Lyle smiled. He was quick to make enemies but held no grudges. This guy had not really messed with him, so there was no grudge between them. Since Dace's desire to survive was so strong, Lyle did not object either. “
At this time, the woman who asked for help earlier approached Aslan. “Hey there, can you share some of your food with me?” Aslan felt disgusted with her feigned daintiness. This woman was far from his monster beast beauties. “What are you doing?” Aslan moved away in disgust. He did not want any physical contact with this woman. “I can do anything as long as you give me a bite!” Maybe she saw a change in Aslan’s attitude, but the woman increased her advances. “If you give me some protection, I’ll be yours!” In fact, she wanted more than a bite. It would be nothing if Philip and the others were eating normal meat, but it was beast meat. Judging from the aroma and the abundant energy in the meat, it had to be premium meat. One could restore a lot of energy with one meal, and that would be a lifesaver in such a dangerous place. More and more people abandoned their dignity to beg for a piece of meat at the expense of their chastity, but unfortunately, none of the thr
As Dustin looked around, a hand reached out and pulled him inside. Before Dustin could react, he was pulled into the barrier. Kemp panicked and rushed forward to rescue his teacher. However, only Dustin knew how to open the barrier. Kemp was helpless and nervous like a cat on a hot tin roof. He could not enter at all. “What the hell is going on?” Kemp was puzzled and looked at the entrance curiously. He felt both excited and worried when Dustin was captured. However, Kemp finally decided to ask for help. He could not afford the consequences if something happened to Dustin. More importantly, he had not learned everything from Dustin yet. He would lose the opportunity if Dustin died inside. Kemp’s cries for help quickly took effect. A team of guards ran over and frantically tried to break the barrier but to no avail. “Hurry up and think of a way to rescue my teacher. You’ll be in trouble if something happens inside!” Kemp ranted furiously, putting all the blame on
Dustin could leave with this stone. The second round of evil spirits would appear in a few minutes. He had no time to lose. Philip smiled at Dustin’s reaction. “Other than this stone, the other way out is to survive five rounds of evil spirits, right?” Philip said with a smile and put the stone into his pocket. He had tested it earlier. They could not leave with this stone at all. The formation had been activated, and the barrier had sealed them in by now. Unless Dustin could destroy the barrier or find the key to the barrier, it was impossible to get out. Aslan and Lyle stood in front of Philip to stop Dustin from grabbing the stone. Of course, they knew Dustin's nasty plan. On top of that, they wanted to avenge Poppy, so they only wanted to give Dustin a good beating. “What are you doing? Let go of Mr. Dustin!” “If you kill him, how can we leave? Can you save us with that worthless stone?” “We have the chance of becoming his apprentice. How could you do this to
Philip nodded. Dace was quite sensible. Although he was rude earlier, he seemed okay now. “That's right. He just wants to use your blood essence to complete a sacrifice. Without weapons to restrain evil energy, no one can escape, and your blood essence will eventually summon a legendary being,” Philip explained. He had a rough understanding of the whole situation now. He received a lot of information when he found the stone, so he knew some of Dustin's plans. Dustin scowled when he heard Philip exposing his secret. He knew someone would discover his secret when the stone went missing. However, he did not expect that this person would make this secret public. “What? Is that so? Are you saying that Dustin wants to kill us?” Dace cursed. He could hardly wait to kill Dustin. Others were ready to take action. Although some of them doubted Philip, it was easy for them to die in this evil place. “Mr. Dustin, we’ll believe you if you let us out!” someone yelled. As long as
These people dared not make a fuss and simply obeyed. Their lives were in Philip's hands, so they had to listen to him. “I can guarantee other people’s safety, but I can’t say the same for you,” Philip said to Dustin with a smile and handed the stone in his hand to Lyle. “Do you want this stone to open the barrier? Let me show you if this stone is useful!” Philip motioned Lyle to go to the entrance. Without hesitation, Lyle went to the barrier with the stone in hand. Everyone eagerly looked at Lyle as he approached the barrier, wondering if they could leave after this. Dustin looked at Lyle silently, trying to find a chance to sneak out. However, he did not get this opportunity. Lyle approached the entrance, but the barrier was motionless. He waved the stone at the entrance of the barrier, but there was no reaction at all. Obviously, using the stone to open the passage was not the correct method. “How is this possible?” Dustin was dumbfounded He never imagined tha
Although Dustin was not that weak, he could not deal with these evil spirits without preparation. “I’ll do it!” “Count me in! Sir, remember your promise!” Some people rushed forward excitedly and quickly surrounded Dustin to protect him. These people were simply unscrupulous, protecting Dustin with weapons given by Philip. Lyle was furious with their actions. “What are you doing? Don't forget, the weapons in your hands belong to us!” Lyle yelled angrily, trying to remind the turncoats. However, they ignored Lyle. “The weapons are in our hands. What can you do?” “We have the right to make our choice. Keep out of it!” These people were very arrogant and refused to return the weapons. Lyle almost passed out in anger. Aslan was furious and wanted to teach them a lesson. He could easily handle some ordinary practitioners. Philip felt disgusted with these despicable people. They fully demonstrated the nature of villains. Philip beckoned to their weapons, which fle
Philip's remark left Dustin speechless. He clenched his fists, at a loss for what to do. “Since you can bring me in, I’m sure you can let me out too. Name your price.” Dustin tried to buy time. He did not want to die here. “Tell me your reason for kidnapping Poppy,” Philip asked without further ado. Dustin was startled. For a moment, he had no idea what the other party was talking about. After a while, he finally recalled who Poppy was. “Oh, are you referring to that little girl? Haha, what’s the relationship between you two?” Dustin was not happy at the mention of Poppy. That girl had given him a lot of trouble. At first, he planned to teach Poppy a good lesson. When the time was ripe, he would display a mutilated girl to that good elder brother of his to show him the consequence of being his apprentice. When he entered the room where Poppy was imprisoned, however, he was attacked unexpectedly. This girl was much stronger than he thought, giving him the impressio
“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
