The prisoners simply thought they had been released for no reason. Their doors were opened one after another and in order. Some people were excited while others had mixed emotions at the thought that someone was here to save them. They liked this carefree life very much. If they could live a good life just by suffering from humiliation every day, it would be best. Hence, most people were unwilling to leave with Philip. Only a few people could not stand this life. They were young and should have a bright future, but their hopes were dashed because of their imprisonment. Although they knew that they were seriously ill, they still wanted to escape. Philip lifted his invisibility effect and caught someone who was about to escape. “Hey, buddy. Where are you going in such a hurry?” Philip asked curiously. The other party looked at Philip in contempt for his ignorance. “Don’t you know? The mine in front of us has collapsed. Everything will be over if we don’t run now!” “Wh
Philip tried to use his energy in this place but found a strange barrier blocking everyone's energy fluctuations, preventing them from using it. “This place is weird. This barrier is definitely left by an ancient mighty being.” Philip looked at his surroundings cautiously, surprised to encounter so many amazing things as soon as he arrived. He was not familiar with this place, but he could not help the strange feeling that he had come to a place more powerful than he imagined. “Rabbit, tell me more about the Precept Continent,” Philip said. He was not sure what was going on. Rabbit laughed and said smugly, “Hehe, so, you need my help too.” Before it could say anything more, Philip smacked it on its head. “Ouch!” Rabbit exclaimed and clutched its head in pain. Everyone was leaving quietly but looked around in horror at this sudden sound. “Who’s talking there?” someone whispered in horror. No one expected that someone would be stupid enough to make a sound, which at
The prisoners had been cooped up for so long that they had lost it and simply wanted to vent. They ran out as quickly as possible, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was unfazed. These people’s escape had nothing to do with him. He simply destroyed this place because it was convenient. “Let’s go. You’ll find out more about this place once we go out. This place is very strange as if it’s divided into various continents!” Philip was surprised to hear that. From this angle, this place seemed different from the place he went to back then. The people here were much stronger and exuded a different vibe. They finally made their way out after a while. Philip was surprised to see the prosperous world full of energy outside. The energy was far richer than that of other worlds. The prison was in a very remote place. They went through a forest and soon arrived at a city. Philip sighed at the surrounding facilities and buildings. “This place is very grand, indeed.” This pla
The signboard surged with energy fluctuation as if it were written by a mighty being. Although Philip could produce something similar, he felt this person was not that simple. “Everyone, I think we need to improve ourselves. The people here are quite strong. I feel as if we're Alice having an adventure in Wonderland,” Philip said with a smile. Philip was quite confident, but he did not want to make a splash. The guards at the city gates did not stop Philip and the others. They were used to seeing people dressed in strange clothes. There was nothing special about their weird attire. Besides, they paid the entry fee without a fuss, so the guards could not stop them for no reason. The order in Solstice City was very strict. No one was allowed to pick on civilians. Philip entered the city and admired the surrounding scenery. The people were simple with nothing strange about them. “We've been walking for so long and haven't seen anything weird. It’s pretty chill here,” Aslan
A glimmer of hope welled up in the old man's eyes. He looked at Philip excitedly as if he had seen a savior. “This store is very cheap, only 500,000 energy stones. This location is in the center of Solstice City, the busiest street!” the old man introduced diligently to retain Philip, a big customer. Someone passed by at this time. The man scoffed at the old man’s enthusiastic introduction. He seemed to look down on this old man, so he watched in dissatisfaction. “Sir, other stores in this area cost at least several million energy stones, but this store is only selling for 500,000 energy stones. You can already imagine what’s going on!” the man could not hold back any longer and interrupted. Aslan looked at him curiously, wondering what was going on. “Indeed, it felt spooky the moment I came close. Is it haunted?” Aslan laughed. As a monster beast, he could sense certain things but not powerful spirits. If a spiritual entity was messing around, he could not deal with it
Under normal circumstances, practitioners could somewhat predict their fortune. Although not necessarily accurate, they could predict something. Why would anyone engage a fortune teller? “Outsiders like you may not be aware of my ability. I can see the future and predict many things that ordinary practitioners like you can't! For example, you can't deal with the creatures here, but I have a powerful ability to suppress them!” Oracle was saying that every profession had a specialization. There was a reason why he was so special. Hearing that, Philip took note of this guy. He felt that Oracle was more than met the eye. “What do you think, old man? As I mentioned, I can exorcize the spirit for free if you give me half the ownership of this store.” Oracle looked at the old man triumphantly, stating his request clearly. The old man frowned at Oracle, reluctant to give in. “No matter how worthless this store is, I won't give you half of it!” Since it was getting dark, Philip be
Philip reminded everyone to stay calm. He had no idea what to expect, but it was better to be careful. They soon arrived at the door of the store. It was very quiet with no people on the street. They heard something as they approached. It was as if someone was breathing into their ears and laughing hysterically. They could not even tell whether the voice was male or female. Aslan shuddered, thinking it was terrifying. “Philip, what’s going on? Did the thing inside escape?” Lyle asked in puzzlement. Although he was not very scared, he felt chills all over. “Something inside is doing this. I noticed it during the day. The thing inside carries the same vibe as the fortune teller.” Ordinary people could not detect it, but Philip's five senses were more acute than others, so he could detect things that others could not. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other and realized something. “Philip, are you saying that the fortune teller is behind this? Did he bring this thing on purp
“You’re here. Are you interested in my store? You’re welcome to take a closer look. The yard at the back is very big. You can move right in! There are even small houses at the back!” The old man greeted Philip very warmly. He was probably very interested in this store to return. “Indeed, I'm quite interested in your store,” Philip said with a smile. Oracle turned up, surprised to see Philip and the others again. “Didn’t you take a look last night?” Although Oracle spoke to Philip smugly, Philip saw the fatigue in his eyes. Oracle’s booth was a wreck last night. Oracle had to replace the flag this morning and buy new stools for the booth. “I did take a look last night. I saw people knocking your booth over,” Philip said with a smile, waiting for Oracle’s explanation. “Hehe, only the street punks would do that. My booth has nothing to do with them!” Oracle cursed unhappily. Philip disagreed. “It won’t be a problem if you set up a booth in a designated area, but this p
“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
