Neon and the others were different. They were quite weak, so it would be bad if they encountered any trouble now. “Don't worry, I can take care of myself,” Neon nodded and said excitedly to Philip. This trip was indeed exciting, especially for Neon, who had never been outside Imperial City. In the mysterious valley of South City, an old woman was vomiting blood while bedridden. Many people gathered around, worried about her health. “Mom, are you okay? Your health is getting worse by the minute. What happened today?” a man said anxiously by the bedside, shocked by his mother’s condition. His mother had always been very energetic, leading everyone in the valley to practice their secret techniques. However, her health started deteriorating this morning. First, she vomited blood, and her body twitched all over. Now, she could not even walk. “Based on what you taught us, are you suffering a backlash?” the young man asked with doubt and caution. If his mother suffered a b
The young man's name was Abell Lauder, the most outstanding young talent in this valley. As the descendant of the old woman, his talent was unparalleled. “If I’m not mistaken, they’ll be here soon.” The man sat on the stool and closed his eyes as if he had anticipated everything. Abell grimaced in surprise to hear that. “Don’t worry, Dad. So what if they're here? I won’t show them any mercy.” Abell was still kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on. He only knew that he had to defend his mother. The old woman was not happy that her secret had been exposed. She had planned to keep everything a secret. In fact, the old woman had harmed more than one person. Most people who knew her secret had been killed. She left only one man to carry on the family line for her. If the old woman could stand up and resist, she would kill her husband at once. However, her strength was slowly failing. She would probably die if she did not get treatment soon. “Find a white
“Philip, are you sure we’re in the right place?” Philip nodded. Although various formations had been laid out to mislead them, Philip easily deciphered them. At this time, Philip and the others met Abell, who was looking for white ganoderma in the mountain. Abell was shocked to see outsiders on the mountain, and they broke their formations too. “Abell, do you think those people entered the formations by mistake or broke through them?” a woman asked curiously. Everyone knew about the formations in the valley, so they never went out, and no one entered by mistake either. Mr. Bell Senior was lucky enough to enter the formations by mistake without dying and experienced a romantic encounter on top of that. Later, he managed to leave with his overwhelming luck. He was the only outsider they knew over the years. Abell glanced at the group of people with disdain. “They probably broke in by mistake. Maybe they destroyed the formations, but it's not a big deal. We just need to fi
The relationship between Nero and Neon was much stronger against unknown enemies. Abell felt a little transfixed by the two men who resembled him. “What a loony,” Aslan grumbled under his breath. That guy seemed fierce, but something was not right with his head. “We’re looking for someone in this valley. Maybe you’re the person we’re looking for or a descendant of the person we’re looking for,” Philip said with a smile, revealing their purpose. Aslan felt something was wrong, and the hunters discussed it among themselves. “I think this guy looks a bit like our employer!” “Yeah, I would've thought they were brothers if I didn’t know better!” The hunters felt that this stranger seemed familiar. Neon scowled. He felt the same. The two brothers looked at each other and saw doubts in each other’s eyes. “Who is this guy? Why does he look so similar to us?” Neon asked unhappily. No one present could answer this question, and even Philip looked at them curiously. Phil
While everyone was bickering, Abell released the bugs he had carefully raised. He had the best grades and had raised many bugs in private. Killing the people in front of him with his bugs was a piece of cake. Moreover, these people would die in pain and torture under his bugs, which was most satisfying! Abell could not wait to see these troublemakers kneeling and begging for mercy. Philip acutely sensed his movements and signaled to Aslan, who instantly understood. On the way here, Philip had told Aslan some characteristics of these secret techniques. One of the biggest features was making use of bugs to penetrate someone’s body by force and torture them from within. These bugs could even drain someone of all their blood. More importantly, the bugs were very small, almost unnoticeable, so many people would fall for it without knowing it. Aslan found one of the small bugs. As a monster beast, he was a natural deterrent to bugs and the like. Under his control, these bug
Therefore, this was nothing to Aslan. It was simply an appetizer. “I’m going to kill this ugly bug. Does anyone have any objection? Ugly bugs are mostly poisonous. They may cause serious side effects if we don’t get rid of them in time!” Aslan said and was about to crush the bug to death. Abell almost lost his composure at Aslan’s actions. “All lives are precious. That bug must have a purpose for appearing here. Why don’t you let it go?” Abell was very worried that Aslan would kill the bug, which would cause serious damage to him. His mother was in the same situation. Someone must have killed the bugs she planted, so she ended up in this miserable state. He would be doomed if Aslan killed the bugs he carefully raised. Abell released ten bugs just now. He would feel tired for a while if Aslan killed one. Everything would be over if Aslan killed all ten of them. He would be half-dead and take a long time to recover. Aslan was aware of Abell’s concerns, so he deliberat
Neon and Nero looked at each other, already realizing by now that Philip must have taken action to protect them as they were clueless. “You’re simply ridiculous. You were the one who used some dirty tricks to sneak attack on us first!” Aslan said angrily, shocked that the other party accused them first. “Weren't you trying to torture us with these bugs?” Philip said with a smile, not angry at all. Neon and Nero quickly understood the situation with that remark. The man wanted to use bugs to attack them, so it looked like he was from that village. Their father had been suffering under that vicious attack over the years. They trembled in fear as they recalled their father's pain. They would be doomed if the bugs attacked them. They only hoped Philip could save them. Otherwise, they would have to live in pain for the rest of their life. They scowled at Abell angrily, wishing they could kill him. Abell was the most furious. He realized the disparity in strength between them
“Keep this thing with you, and don’t let your guard down. Remember not to let it leave you at all,” Philip instructed Neon and Nero, afraid they would be careless and overlook many details. Aslan did not require his help. Aslan was very resistant to poisons and would not be affected even if all the bugs crawled over him. Aslan was smart enough to catch the bugs and keep them in a small bottle that he carried with him. He could make use of these bugs to threaten the other party later. These bugs were still alive and posed a big threat to Abell. Abell had no idea that Philip had noticed something as he led them into the village. The path he chose was full of traps. Anyone who walked on this path would trigger the traps and be attacked by bugs. Abell’s friends had left to tip off the news. They had to be careful after experiencing this incident. The elders in the village were resting. They knew that Julie was going to die soon. Although they felt sorry, it was beyond their c
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
