“Let’s go. There’s no point in staying. As one of the four unique races, others will only laugh at our embarrassment. Don’t act like the frog in a well.” After saying that, Ariadna took the lead to leave, but the others pouted as if they disagreed with her statement. “Let’s stop listening to Ariadna. We won’t have any problem if you listen to me from now on. Everything will be fine once I get the ancestral land back for us.” Arachne started brainwashing everyone. Arachne would take the credit if they gained anything, and she had to find a way to get all of Ariadna’s glory. Besides, Ariadna would die in a few days anyway. Ariadna would have no choice but to die once she failed to get Rabbit. Ariadna felt very somber and remained silent along the way. Ariadna used to be a carefree and vivacious woman, but something changed ever since she met Philip. She lost that free-spirited energy but felt irritable instead as if something was going to happen.… On the other hand, Philip
Philip was surprised to hear that Selma had a younger brother.Soon, a young lad walked out from the kitchen. Ronan looked like a burly man next to him. “Hello, I’m Selma’s younger brother, Cavin. It’s my pleasure to set out with you.” His words made him seem more immature. “In that case, we’ll set off after a meal.” After saying that, Philip sat down for a meal with his men. As humans, eating was a must at this time of the day. “Philip, the spider people have been watching us from behind,” Cavin whispered to Philip. Philip was surprised that Cavin was keen enough to discover Arachne, who had been hiding in the distance watching them. “I’m known for my observation. Although my ability isn’t that strong, nothing much can escape my observation.” Cavin smiled in shy modesty. Philip shook his head with a smile at Cavin’s shy reaction. “Don’t worry about those losers. They want to use us as cannon fodder to help them explore the ancestral land, but no one can guarantee who will
“What has it got to do with you? Anyway, I settled it. We just need to head out,” Arachne grumbled, fully displaying her annoyance. The others simply followed orders without a word. No one cared who was the person in charge. They just wanted to reach the ancestral land smoothly, figure out the secrets of their family and themselves, and most importantly, break the curse so that they could live a normal life. No one wanted to carry this terrible curse for the rest of their lives. At everyone’s silence, Arachne became more arrogant. “Ariadna, you should stop fighting me.” Ever since she pretended to reach a deal with Philip, Arachne became arrogant and did not take Ariadna seriously at all. After all, she knew that Ariadna would not question Philip about it, so she could say whatever she wanted. Philip and the others slowed down on purpose so that the spider people could keep up. He knew that the so-called mysterious ancestral land had to be full of danger. If he did not want
Philip knew that Ariadna had taken things too far. Although she seemed sorry about what happened, she never explained Rabbit’s incident. She did not apologize or take any action but simply tried to please Philip. Moreover, she did not carry it out until the end. Philip never cared about such short-sighted people. “Philip, you’re such a nice guy. Don’t worry. After this is over, I’ll teach them a lesson. It’s best if I can take them under my wing! It’d be spectacular if I could go out riding a few spiders!” Rabbit said with a smug smile as if he was already the lord of the spiders. Philip shuddered at Rabbit’s description and felt goosebumps all over his skin. “What weird fetish is that?” Philip was terrified at the thought of riding a spider under him. Although practitioners would find various monsters as mounts, who would choose such an ugly mount? Maybe demonic practitioners would prefer spiders. After all, it was a sight to behold. They might find it cool to scare others.
The spider people were angry and felt that Philip was trying to trick them. “What do you mean?” Someone stepped forward angrily, trying to teach him a lesson, but Arachne stopped him. Arachne had told them that she had reached an agreement with Philip. Her plan would be exposed if it was mentioned during an argument. Everyone would blame her for it, and she was unwilling to suffer the consequences. “Okay, let's take a break. We have plenty of time anyway.” The spider people had tacitly agreed that Arachne was the person in charge of this operation. Although they were angry, they sat down for a break at Arachne’s command. The most anxious person among them was actually Ariadna. Ariadna used to be the strongest among them, but due to the family’s curse, she was gradually weakening. She would die if she could not solve the problem within seven days. Fortunately, she had enough time to wait. “Have a good break, everyone. We’ll set off once we have our fill of food and drinks,
Whether the fine wine or the delicious beast meat provided by Philip, their strength improved greatly after the meal, which was simply too good to be true. Everyone guessed whether eating such meat on a long-term basis would make their bodies stronger. “Our business will definitely soar if we have such meat on the menu!” Selma marveled solemnly. She knew how attractive the meat was to humans or other races. It was worth looking forward to a meal that could improve one’s strength. Moreover, they could feel their bodies slowly absorbing the meat’s energy without going to waste, and they did not have to go through the effort of absorbing it, which was simply amazing. When Philip and his people left after having their fill, Arachne followed them with her people. Ariadna was so jealous that her thoughts became distorted. If she had not been so stupid back then, she might have gotten the chance to sit with Philip and enjoy the meal too. She lost the chance because she was stupid and
Arachne and the others saw the mist and were frightened. They quickly hid beside the snake people without lurking in the dark anymore. “What’s up with the weird mist?” The spider people brought more people than Selma’s team this time. Everyone was squeezed in this place, making it a little crowded. The snake people looked at them in disdain, shocked that they had the nerve to approach them. “Don’t you see how crowded this place is? Stop squeezing your way inside!” Cavin said with disdain. Although Cavin looked like a timid child who anyone could bully, he was quite manly in a confrontation. Rabbit huffed at them in anger but did not know what to say. Arachne rolled her eyes. “This is obviously the only safe place around. Where should we go if not here? You can leave if you think it’s crowded,” Arachne sneered with disdain. They knew that Philip had entered the danger zone, so they wanted to stay close to keep abreast of his updated situation. However, they overlooked
“On top of that, I can also help to expand your awareness and enhance your mental strength.” Philip persuaded the mist with everything he had, hoping that it would leave with him. He was strong enough to interact with the mist in an equal setting. If the mist refused to give in, Philip would consider beating it into submission. After much deliberation, the mist, who was more like an innocent child, agreed to Philip’s suggestion. Philip felt the excitement expressed by the mist. “I’ll take you into my space now. Don’t resist. You’ll feel that mysterious power in a minute.” He took the mist into his space, and the large expanse of blue mist vanished in an instant. The fierce killing intent in the passage disappeared with it. Philip looked at the disappearing mist in excitement. He found something very good this time. The mist was obviously still in its growing stage, an ignorant little thing at present. The mist would grow under his help into a strong existence. He was glad to
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
