Fernand made it clear that he bore a deep grudge against Philip. He seemed serious about getting Lance to deal with Philip. Lance arrived at Philip's house as quickly as possible and broke into Philip's room in a panic. Philip was idling his time away when someone barged into his room. “Philip, something bad is about to happen. Someone wants to screw you!” Philip was dumbfounded by Lance’s crude language. “Young man, watch your words!” Lance was not quiet about it, and Aslan heard him at the door. Aslan walked over and looked at Lance expectantly. “What’s up?” Aslan was more curious than anyone else. Philip shrugged. He had no idea. “Fernand ordered me to kidnap you and bring you to Dustin’s house, but I don’t know the details!” Lance said everything in one breath. After saying that, he took a big gulp of tea. He had run with all his might just now. Seeing his appearance, Aslan kindly gave him a pill. “Here, take a pill to restore your energy.” Lance was mov
“That’s settled. You can find an opportunity to bring Philip over. Let’s see who’s arrogant enough to attack Philip!” Aslan decided before Philip could speak. Lance nodded at the sight of Philip’s consent. “In that case, okay!” Lance wanted to get it done quickly as well. Maybe they could follow the clues and find out the forces behind Fernand. “By the way, I heard that the Spada Guild has been acting up recently,” Lance said in a low voice. He was afraid that the Spada Guild had spies around. “Are you referring to their checkpoints at the city gates?” Philip said with a smile. Lance nodded. “I don't know who they're looking for. I heard that they had a dispute with someone at the city gates and a butcher died, but I didn’t find out the specifics.” Lance was upset about it. Although he had nothing to do with the butcher, he felt sorry for him. “I heard that someone took the butcher’s cleaver. The butcher tried to take it back, but he was killed. Don’t you think it’s
Philip shook his head. “Maybe it’s more than meets the eye. These people are probably not interested in me but in my technique of turning a cleaver into a spiritual weapon.” Philip’s remark shocked everyone into realization. They thought Philip had a point. “You’re right. That must be it. In that case, should we put on a show for them?” Lance said with a smile. He thought of an idea to deal with this guild. “I think so too.” Philip and Lance quickly reached a consensus and made some plans together. Very soon, Philip was bound in ropes and transported to Dustin's house. Aslan sneakily followed behind and observed the surroundings. As a monster beast, he could conceal his presence very well. Although Aslan had nothing to fear, he was worried that the Spada Guild would send some powerful experts over. Philip was brought to the room prepared by Dustin with his head covered. Lance stared at this disgusting guy indifferently. This old man always had a bad reputation,
Was Dustin a pervert? Manta had arrived before Philip could dwell on it. The Spada Guild was not far away, and Manta made haste, so he quickly arrived at Dustin's home. “You’re so quick to get hold of Philip.” Manta was impressed by Dustin. Although Dustin was not very strong, he was pretty efficient at doing things. “Of course, I'm very interested in his secret!” Manta ignored Dustin’s bragging but stepped forward and took off the black cloth from Philip's head. Philip slowly woke up and solemnly stared at the man in front of him. “Hello, we meet again.” Manta looked down at Philip condescendingly with the expression of a victor. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Philip. Philip’s handsome appearance was enough to make him angry. Combined with his powerful ability to turn ordinary weapons into spiritual weapons, Manta was even more upset. “Hmph, I don’t want to see you at all,” Philip said unhappily. Suddenly, Manta’s communication token rang. Manta warily stepped a
Manta nodded. This woman was Ira Dion, the holy maiden of the guild. Ira’s status was so special that even Manta had to please her. In fact, they were not siblings. Manta simply made use of his nice reputation to trick Ira into seeing him as an older brother. Manta believed that he could win the heart of the holy maiden one day. When he returned to the guild earlier, he told Ira about his discovery. Ira was very interested in this topic and kept asking Manta about it. Manta wanted to show off his abilities, so he invited Ira. He believed that he could win Ira’s heart soon. It would be a legend if the most powerful senior apprentice and the holy maiden of the guild got together. Manta was very smug at the thought of it. “This person is the key to unlocking the secret. We’ll gain a lot if we can make him talk.” Manta pointed at Philip smugly with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. He would rip Philip into pieces if he refused to talk. “You’d better tell us your
Manta killed the butcher for no reason. Philip could not let it go. Although Philip had killed before, he mostly targeted bad people, never killing indiscriminately. He would never do anything to an innocent butcher. Manta was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. He glanced at Ira in a panic, fearing that she would pursue this matter. Now that Ira had been mesmerized by Philip, she was interested in this topic too. In Ira’s opinion, Manta was an upright person. If Manta did anything bad, his good image would take a hit. “What are you talking about? What butcher at the city gates? I have no idea what you’re talking about. You must be out of your mind!” Manta huffed. Dustin had no idea what they were talking about, and he did not sense the change in Manta’s mood. Dustin said, “I know about it. So what if a butcher was killed? Manta is the most powerful senior apprentice of the Spada Guild. What’s wrong with killing someone? With his status, even if he massacres the whol
“I never knew that you were such a person, Manta. I was wrong about you!” Ira sighed helplessly. Ira walked up to Philip and untied him. “Don't worry, I’ll let you go if you tell the truth.” Ira seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Philip was confused by her actions and wondered why someone from the Spada Guild would be so kind. Members of the Spada Guild should be a bunch of scumbags, but Ira was different. “Don't worry, I won’t let anyone bully you.” Ira looked at Philip lovingly, with admiration and affection in her eyes. Manta saw this scene from behind them and almost exploded with anger. After so many years of planning, he finally got closer to Ira and was regarded as her brother. However, their relationship turned sour with just a few words from Philip. Moreover, it seemed that Ira had fallen in love with Philip and treated him very well. Dustin looked at Philip, jealous of his good luck with women. Although Dustin was very old, it did not stop him from
“Besides, Manta found someone to kidnap me. Don’t you think I should be compensated for my mental trauma?” Manta felt very frustrated when Philip mentioned his name again. He was very angry at himself for inviting Ira over. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you a reasonable explanation if you agree to trade with us. Our guild has discovered a secret realm recently. If you agree to the deal, we can give you access to the secret realm,” Ira said gently. This was a big transaction for Ira. Manta was upset upon hearing it. “No way, how could you give this person access to the secret realm? If he finds anything inside…” Manta smacked the table, tossing all his gentlemanly persona out the window. No one could bear this. The woman he loved had been stolen under his nose, and this woman gave another man a good opportunity. Manta was heartbroken and wished he could cut Philip into pieces. “So what if he finds an opportunity? He deserves it! On the other hand, we'd receive some benefits
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
