The sky was about to fall! That was the Singer family, one of the ten great disciple families in the north! They were one of the three masters of Terrain Villa! There was also a king of disciples in the Singer family! The Singer family was one of the top three existences in the northern disciple community! An absolute behemoth! This time, Ronan Singer and Mr. Burdock were killed in Cherry Villa. This must be a magnitude-10 earthquake! The entire northern community would be shaken! Not to mention the Singer family! “M-Mr. Moon, Young Master Ronan Singer has been killed!” Cory Trent stammered with cold sweat on his forehead. It was because he could clearly feel the anger and chill from the other end of the phone! “Who did it? What’s wrong with Cherry Villa? Are they trying to turn on the north?” Mr. Moon was in a rage, his heart full of anger and fear! His anger was toward Cherry Villa. His fear was of the Singer family. “Mr. Moon, this matter has nothing
After being called to gather in the middle of the night, feelings of resentment were inevitable. Quentin Moon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood humbly in the hall, and lowered his head. He panted and stammered, “Villa Masters Hopper, Singer, and Turner, something has happened.” “Just spit it out already!” Villa Master Hopper, the middle-aged man with an unhappy expression, was wearing a black suit and fidgeting with two stress balls in his hand. He had an imposing demeanor, a ruddy complexion, and exuded a harsh intensity. Quentin glanced at Villa Master Hopper before his gaze landed on the person on his right. This was the current patriarch of the Singer family, one of the top ten disciple families in the north, Jenkins Singer! He was also one of the founding families of Terrain Villa and one of the three villa masters. His face was dignified as he sat upright. He wore a gray suit, and his hair was gray. He had a pair of deep-set eyes that looked very chao
After that, the atmosphere in the main hall plummeted to freezing point. It seemed that any movement would cause a catastrophic ending. Jenkins stood on the high platform, his eyes were full of anger. He clenched his fists and asked, “Did the people of Cherry Villa just watch my son get killed by an unknown junior?” Quentin quickly bowed and replied, “Villa Master Singer, Villa Master Leon Jefferson of Cherry Villa stepped in later. If I understood Cory Trent correctly, Leon wishes to protect the young man named Philip Clarke.” “Leon Jefferson? How dare he?!” Jenkins roared and shouted, “Immediately gather all the experts of the Singer family and go with me to Cherry Villa. I want to see who Leon Jefferson dares to protect in front of me! After killing my beloved son, no matter who the other party is, I’ll kill him with my bare hands!” As he said that, Jenkins clenched his fists tightly. Below the hall, a guard from the Singer family bowed in response and immediately walk
Back to Philip’s side. He followed Leon Jefferson through the lobby and passed through several doors before entering the core area of Cherry Villa. He saw a clear lake with a white arch bridge over it. On both sides of the lake, fully armed guards strictly kept watch. They were equipped with weapons specially targeted at disciples. These guards would be able to tackle any disciples of the fourth zone and below. A magnificent white castle stood across the lake and arch bridge. A sense of solemnity could be felt from the castle even from across the lake. In front, Leon invited Philip, “Philip, please come with me.” Philip glanced at the surrounding environment. The security measures in this place were quite impeccable. “Thank you.” Philip said politely and followed Leon to the arch bridge. They made their way to the white castle. When Philip got closer to the white castle, he realized that there was a special energy pressure around it that constantly suppressed the p
Everyone eagerly waited for Philip’s next words but after a long while, Philip said nothing. This made some people unhappy, and they said coldly, “Villa Master Jefferson, this young Philip seems very arrogant and only said his name. Does he look down on us?” “Hehe, Villa Master Jefferson, we have no objections if you bring newcomers in, but such a newcomer is too ignorant of the rules!” “Are you done talking?” Suddenly, Philip spoke and interrupted everyone’s reprimand that stemmed from their dissatisfaction with him. Hiss! Everyone’s faces tensed with anger. Smack! A middle-aged man slammed the table, stood up suddenly, pointed at Philip, and said angrily, “Presumptuous! This is Cherry Villa and the conference for the southern disciple families. How dare an unruly kid like you be so rude to the elders? Didn't the adults in your family teach you any manners and etiquette?” “Exactly! Even if you were personally brought here by Villa Master Jefferson, you should mind t
The middle-aged man was extremely furious. This was the first time someone dared to say such arrogant words to him here! He was told to get lost? Hehe, ridiculous! Everyone else crossed their arms indifferently, waiting to watch the excitement. After the middle-aged man scolded, he pointed at Philip and said sharply, “Junior! You’re simply too audacious. Now, I want you to kneel and apologize!” However, Philip shook his head and repeated with a sneer, “You said just now that those who get to sit here are judged by their strength. I think I’m stronger than you, so shouldn’t you get lost?” “Hahaha!” That middle-aged man laughed uproariously, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. He said, “You think you’re stronger than me? How dare a young brat like you brag like that? Very well, then. Let me show you my strength!” Bang! After that, the middle-aged man slammed the table, jumped into the air, and threw a punch at Philip’s stomach! He did not hold back at all with
Philip looked at everyone coldly and imposingly. Following his scrutiny, no one dared to raise any objection. Leon clapped his hands at this moment, stood up with a smile, and said to the subordinates behind him, “Men, bring Patriarch West to treat his injuries.” Then, he walked to Philip's side, patted him on the shoulder, and addressed the crowd, “Everyone, this is the new member of Cherry Villa. Please welcome him!” After saying that, Leon clapped heartily while sparse applause was heard from the crowd. However, Philip said, “Villa Master Jefferson, I didn’t agree to join Cherry Villa. I’m here to look for someone.” Leon smiled and said, “Philip, don’t worry. The Miss Johnston you’re looking for should have already gone back.” “Gone back? With whom?” Philip was anxious and frowned. Sure enough, Wynn had gone back. Leon motioned for everyone to continue the conference before he walked out of the main hall with Philip and said, “Philip, the person who brought Miss
Philip glanced sideways at Leon before he asked, “Do tell. If I can help, I’ll try my best.” Leon smiled, rubbed his hands secretly, and said, “I’d like to invite you to participate in the Disciple Competition between Cherry Villa and Terrain Villa one month later.” “Disciple Competition?” Philip frowned, a little puzzled. Leon quickly explained, “As you probably know by now, Cherry Villa in the south has always been at odds with Terrain Villa in the north. We compete both openly and covertly. When Mr. Lovelace single-handedly pacified the disciple community from the north and the south decades ago, the Disciple Competition became a tradition. After all, there have always been disputes between the north and the south, but to prevent the situation from escalating, all issues will be resolved at the Disciple Competition. The winner will decide how the issue will be handled. “This is also the reason why the southern supernatural disciple community has always been inferior to the n
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
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
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
“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
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
“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.
