“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
Now that they had started fighting, it seemed that things would not end well. Moby had no idea whether he should root for Philip or not. “Philip, don’t give up!” After much deliberation, Moby finally decided to cheer for Philip. He stood a better chance to survive once Philip won. He would pay with his life if anything happened to Philip. Besides, he had just decided to join Philip when Philip generously rewarded him with some precious elf water, which proved that this was a boss worth following. He might get more benefits by sticking with Philip, so he did not want anything to happen to Philip. Meanwhile, Philip was stuck in the swamp. He was just about to break free from the swamp when he felt something strange. The swamp did not hurt him but strengthened his body instead, making his skin unusual. Philip already had a divine body, and combined with all the powerful pills and various herbs he had consumed before, his body was far beyond anyone’s imagination. It turned out
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
Moby quickly told Philip everything he knew. He knew that he had to tell Philip the truth to gain Philip’s approval. The fish creatures would get a lucky break once Philip approved of them and accepted them as their followers. Meanwhile, the demons knew Philip's strength through Akash’s escape. Not only were they not deterred, but they became more interested in Philip. They were curious to find out more about him. They even spread news about Philip in the city, but no one knew if they were doing it for revenge or to stir things up. While Philip learned more about the situation, Lyle and the others went out again. They simply could not sit still at home. Although the outside world was a mess, they could learn more about local sights and customs. Lyle and Aslan preferred to sit in a tavern and listen to gossip around them. At this time, the storyteller arrived excitedly, almost bursting with important news. “I heard something big today. Guess what?” Everyone looked at him e
“Get ready. I’ll bring you along to break the barriers later. I believe it won’t be difficult for you to sneak inside.” Adam and Carlos decided to enter the place for a look. No matter what, they had to figure out the situation. No one wanted to cause trouble for no reason. “Since you've decided to go in, I’ll break the barrier for you.” The mayor’s residence was full of barriers. One wrong move and they would be in trouble. Adam and Carlos were surprised to hear Philip’s remark. No one expected to find barriers in this place. “What?” Carlos exclaimed in surprise. “I sense something wrong with this place. We may encounter an accident if we’re not careful.” Adam was better at such things and expressed his helplessness at this scene. “Are you sure you can handle it?” Adam asked cautiously. He was not familiar with this area. Although his practice level was high, he was not knowledgeable in this area. Things like making pills or setting up formations were unknown to him.
Although the city belonged to the lark people, they generally allowed people from other families to reside there. This old woman was obviously not one of the lark people, so she was quite emotional about such things. “This member of the lark family is very powerful with a high status, not someone ordinary people like us can speak about.” Although she said so, she still told Adam everything she knew, catching all his attention. “This is fascinating.” It never occurred to Adam that the person getting married would be the woman he had been thinking about. He just simply thought that it was an event worth celebrating. “Do you know what the woman looks like? Can you describe her appearance to us? I’m quite curious about it,” Philip said with an expectant chuckle. The old woman described the bride’s appearance, but her description was not very credible. She simply said that the bride was very beautiful. “The bride has a bad reputation. It seemed that she went missing for a wh
Renee felt helpless at Carlos’ jibe. He was insufferable. Philip frowned at their brainless banter. “Cut the crap. Don't you see that everyone around you is eavesdropping on you? One wrong word and you’ll expose yourselves.” Visitors were welcomed in this city, but they treated outsiders with caution and would never let them stay for no reason. “I have to say that the lark people are really rich and influential to own such a large city. They must've been around for thousands of years,” Adam said with relief. In his opinion, his lover seemed more mysterious now, most probably the daughter of a big family. He felt like he had won the affection of a rich woman. “In that case, it's even harder for you to marry into a wealthy family. They have very strict requirements for their sons-in-law, and you’ll most likely end up being inferior to a woman. That’s not a good thing.” Carlos shook his head helplessly. They had seen many such cases and knew about the mess. Adam ignored Ca
“You have to believe that the people of this family don’t value feelings at all. Those things are worthless to them.” Renee had been dealing with them for a long time. She knew them very well and hated their behavior. In their opinion, nothing was more important than themselves. They would only cause trouble for others and never value feelings. “No one can say for sure what will happen. Maybe after our relationship, Ashley has changed her mind and decided to be with me.” Adam was still hopeful. In his opinion, he had a chance to win Ashley back. “Since you don't want to believe me, let's give it a try. I want to see how this infamous family will treat you.” Renee arrived in disguise. Since Renee had a big conflict with the lark people, she had to disguise herself. Philip was very good in this area and turned Renee into another person, making sure that no one would recognize her. Adam did not change his looks. He was very satisfied with his appearance and could not wait to
The spokesperson was the grandmaster of the lark people, and he suffered a great blow. After much deliberation, he finally decided to deal with this matter properly. The woman who had embarrassed the lark people had to die. He had thought they could get rid of the woman easily, but she was very good at hiding. Now that so many years had passed, he was no longer keen on pursuing the matter anymore. Unexpectedly, someone used this incident to mock his family today. This time, he vowed to get rid of that woman even if he had to deploy all the forces of the family. At least, they could not allow the reputation of the lark people to be tarnished. “Send someone to find the whereabouts of that woman. You have to capture her alive at all costs. I want to execute her in public,” he ordered his shadow guards to take action. No matter what, the lark people had to right the wrong. The scouts of the lark people quickly got to work. As professionals, they knew what to do. Renee had been
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
