Philip stood on the spot and observed Samael silently. Samael was obviously not very smart and easy to fool. They were quickly taken to the other party’s residence, which looked quite luxurious but creepy. Philip could hardly imagine who would live in such a terrifying place with peace of mind. Marcel had changed his appearance, wearing a bright smile on his face as he stared in their direction. He was quite interested in Aloysius. Similarly, he was curious about Philip, just as Philip was curious about him. In his opinion, Philip was not a simple person. Perhaps he was hiding a lot of secrets. “I didn’t expect to see you guys so soon. I believe you should know what I'm going to do next,” Marcel said with a sinister smile. No one recognized him because he had disguised his appearance—except Philip. He had a powerful Verge Tower on hand that could detect anyone’s true appearance easily. Any superb method the other party used to hide his identity would be useless in front of
Philip nodded, moved by Aloysius’ decision. Although the brotherhood between the two was good, Aloysius was willing to make the right decision for justice in this situation, which was enough to prove that his strength should not be underestimated. Marcel was puzzled by their conversation, wondering what they were talking about. “What are you saying?” Marcel felt unhappy about their disregard for him. He smacked the table angrily, and a wisp of black energy zoomed toward Philip. Philip turned around and dodged the attack as he unleashed his power. “There’s no need for this place to exist anymore, so I’m going to destroy it. Welkin Island is nothing but a disgusting place,” Philip announced calmly. He knew that he had to stop this. Although he was not a saint, he was not a villain who would do things against his conscience either. Since these people were so cruel and terrible, Philip would destroy them if he could. It was nothing worth thinking about. Before Marcel realiz
“How did you discover my true identity? My mask has a powerful concealing effect. Normal people can't discover it at all!” Marcel never made a move as he subconsciously thought that Aloysius was just an ordinary human and maybe Aloysius found a good henchman by chance. He never thought that Aloysius had chosen to submit to Philip. “You have a habit of touching your nose when you talk, and you display some obvious body language from time to time. Only long-term friends like us can notice each other's actions.” They had worked together for many years, so they knew each other very well. He never thought that Marcel would be exposed by such a minor detail today. “Hehe, you’re quite smart, but so what? Things have progressed to this point. Do you think we can return to the past? I can tell you more. I was the one who destroyed Heavenly Path's Carrefour!” Everyone was surprised to hear that. Philip was shocked by his boldness in admitting everything openly. “I knew it was relat
Marcel never thought they would have such a powerful treasure. He was so scared that he knelt and begged for mercy, but no one paid him any attention. Samael was dumbfounded to see a weapon that was specifically used to deal with them. He was more surprised to see Marcel being taken down so easily. He had always thought that his master was powerful and invincible. He used to be a powerful existence back then, but he encountered a misfortune later and ended up in this state. Marcel took him in, cured all his injuries, and imparted some powerful techniques to save his life. Since then, Samael had been loyal to Marcel and never thought of betraying him. That was the reason Marcel proposed to disguise his identity, and Samael would agree to Marcel’s every request. It was simply unacceptable for such an invincible and supreme being in his heart to be defeated so easily. “Impossible! My master is an invincible God of War. How could he lose to you guys?” Samael felt that his worldvi
As a bystander, Samael had no way to get out of this mess. Aloysius grabbed him and planned to take him back to Heavenly Path’s Carrefour too. Samael looked at Marcel and made eye contact with him. Then, as if they reached a consensus, Samael roared and tried to jump out of his restraints. As he was not tied up with the Indestructible Rope, he easily broke free from his restraints and flew up. He quickly appeared in the sky above Welkin Island. The innocent civilians looked at him blankly, wondering what strange event was going on. “Is the person in the sky the legendary Lord Samael? What is he up to? Is he going to kill again?” “Let him do whatever he wants. We can’t put up a fight anyway. What else can we do?” “Well, that’s what we're here for.” Some people complained while others laughed at themselves. Everyone was full of pain and suffering. In the sky, Samael roared in misery too. “I want to bury the entire Welkin Island with me today! You stupid mortals can only
“Demonic practitioners are always so full of themselves, but you’re nothing. Who said that demonic practice makes you powerful? You’re simply using some cruel means to achieve your goal.” Philip had always looked down on them. In his opinion, they were simply wasting their luck by doing bad things. Samael could hardly think. Philip had given him a serious psychological trauma. “That's impossible! How could you possibly defeat me? Someone like you should stand no chance against me, but you’re so strong!” Philip looked no different from an ordinary human, but he resolved this problem so easily, crushing Samael to a pulp. Philip’s strength should not be underestimated as he was clearly far better than him. A man in his 20s with a strength that he could never reach in his lifetime—what a scary idea. Others looked at this scene in horror. As ordinary people, they had no way to resist this. Everyone thought they were going to die, but a mysterious person saved them. No one knew w
Aloysius would not show mercy to Marcel. Instead, he would use cruel means to deal with Marcel. Very soon, they returned to the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Philip stood aside without a word. He knew it was best to let Aloysius deal with it. Marcel was devastated by his easy defeat. He went through all the hardship to become a demonic practitioner so that he could stand on top of the world one day. He never thought someone could defeat him so easily one day. “Did you not become a normal human?” Marcel was puzzled to find that Aloysius could still fight. “If you didn’t become a mortal, how did you escape?” He remembered setting a restriction on Aloysius. He would never escape the barrier unless he became a normal human. They quickly arrived at the barrier. Marcel was shocked to find that the barrier and rope he prepared for Aloysius had been destroyed. He could hardly imagine the power possessed by the other party that could break the restraints by force. “I’m no longer the
“You can break free from the shackles if you’re strong enough," seeing Samael’s anger, Rabbit kindly reminded him. Hearing that, Samael gradually calmed down. As Marcel’s follower, he knew about the Heavenly Path's Carrefour. Every once in a while, many people would explore this place. Once they entered the Heavenly Path's Carrefour, it was equivalent to turning up at his doorstep. He could use these practitioners to quickly improve his strength. After he broke free from the shackles, he could seek revenge on Philip. He knew who his true target was. Although Aloysius seemed to be the culprit, he could do nothing without Philip's help. Hence, the real culprit was actually Philip. Philip’s strength should not be underestimated. Samael had to reach the level of Demon King before he could deal with Philip. Demonic practitioners were undead beings and did not have to worry about the passage of time. As long as he was given enough time, he could get rid of Philip eventually. Thin
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
