Philip ended the call and fell into deep contemplation. Arcadia Island had no record of a visitor from the Larson family. There were only two reasons for this. First, an internal Clarke family member assassinated the person sent by the Larson family and destroyed the visitor records. Second, the person sent by the Larson family did not leave Fernvale at all and was assassinated by the Larson family. While thinking about it, Philip called George again and asked, “Who was in charge of the visitor records back then?” George immediately investigated and replied, “Young Patriarch, the person in charge of the visitor records was someone belonging to Madam Giada. What happened?” Giada Wallis?! Philip frowned. Was this matter really related to Giada? Seeing the changing expression on Philip's face, Cynthia asked, “Philip, what’s the matter? Did you find something?” Philip raised his eyebrows, stroked his chin, glanced at Cynthia and Hogan, and said, “If I'm not mistaken, th
However, Philip said coldly, “It’s not impossible. Silva Larson is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals! His ambitions are beyond your imagination.” Hogan shook his head and said, “I still don't believe that Silva will do that.” Boom! However, as soon as Hogan finished speaking, there was a shocking explosion outside! A cloud in the shape of a mushroom rose on the sea! Immediately, a guard rushed in quickly, knelt on one knee, and reported, “Young Patriarch, someone has started attacking our frigate!” Philip’s eyes turned cold as he asked, “How many people are on the other side and who are they?” The guard replied, “An old man who claims to be Chip Larson of the Larson family. He wants to see you in person and said that he wants you to hand over the grandmaster of the Larson family. Otherwise, he’ll attack and sink the cruise ship and frigate!” Hiss! Hogan staggered a few steps back, his eyes full of disbelief. He said, “H-He actually dares to do this. Silv
Hearing Philip’s remark, Chip stopped pretending and said coldly, “Young man, this is the boundary of Fernvale. Even if the Clarke family is huge and powerful, you have to follow the rules of the Larson family. “So, I advise you one last time to hand over the grandmaster. Otherwise, there’ll be more than a few corpses in the high sea tonight!” After Chip said that, the seawater under his yacht began to surge! Splash! Suddenly, three water columns shot into the sky and turned into three dragons that were dozens of meters high! Roars of dragons resounded in the nearby waters! Seeing this, Philip’s face darkened as he said, “All battleships, prepare for battle!” In an instant, the muzzles of several frigates were aimed at the three water dragons and Chip! Seeing this, Chip stomped his foot slightly and shouted, “Don't blame me for being ruthless!” Roar! Three earth-shattering roars resounded! The three water dragons soared into the sky, stirred up monstrous waves, an
On deck, a group of combatants secured their bodies with ropes. Several steel artillery mounts were also swept away by the waves and fell heavily into the sea! As for the cruise ship in the center of the storm, it was calm and peaceful due to the kingship energy fields of Philip and Fennel! The huge two-layer red and platinum fields of kingship rapidly enlarged and shielded the battleships in the center! Philip’s expression turned cold as he jumped into the air with Fennel! Above the sea, two swords of kingship stood in the air at this moment and formed a huge energy pressure on Chip on the opposite side! Chip smiled and said, “The two kings in the sixth zone are indeed very powerful. It’s rare to reach this level at your age. But today, facing me is your misfortune. Young Patriarch Clarke, I’ll ask you one last time. Will you hand him over or not?” Philip hovered in the air and raised his right hand. Suddenly, sharp swords came flying from all around, which converged int
The tall waves formed a wall and trapped Philip and Fennel in the middle. Philip looked at the surging wall of seawater intently, raised his right hand, activated enormous energy pressure in the red-silver longsword in his hand, and slashed the wall! Splash! Sword slay! He cut through the seawater, but it quickly recovered and formed an airtight wall again! This was the sea with an endless supply of seawater! Moreover, water was the most delicate substance. No matter how many times Philip slashed in anger, he could not break through it! Chip sneered and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, this seawater prison is my pride. If you don't have the strength of the seventh zone, you’ll never break through it.” “So you have only one choice now, which is to hand the grandmaster over. Only then will I let you go.” Hehe. Philip snorted coldly and said with a trace of disdain, “I admit that you’re very strong. Based on my current strength, I’m indeed not your opponent, but nothing
Bang, clang! Dozens of ice spears were being cut down. They turned into ice cubes, then fell into the sea! Philip staggered back dozens of meters before he blocked the attack. A biting chill flashed in the corners of his eyes! Seeing this, Chip smiled and said, “As expected of the young patriarch of the Clarke family. Such strength and skills are amazing, indeed! However, that isn’t enough for me!” Chip was right. After the spar, Philip truly realized how big the gap between the realms was! A disciple of the seventh zone could render a king of the sixth zone helpless! Was this an insurmountable chasm? Philip looked grave and inwardly wondered why Uncle Tango had not taken any action. Seeing Philip’s appearance, Chip said with a smile, “Are you waiting for the person behind you to make a move? I’m sorry to inform you that he has been stopped by two seniors of mine. At this moment, I don’t think he has the time to bother about you. Hence, you have no other way out now.”
In an instant, raging waves of energy pressure and the power of rules surged in the sea! Three figures were locked in a dreadful battle! If they were not on the high seas, the nearby towns would have been destroyed long ago! However, even if Philip and Fennel joined forces, they could not gain an advantage over Chip! Chip was too strong! This was the strength of a mid-level half-step kingship of the seventh zone! He could easily suppress two kings of the sixth zone! As Chip had used the power of rules of heaven and earth, his comprehension of the rules was much deeper compared to Philip and Fennel. Moreover, the shadow of the octopus behind him had an illusion of being a solid form. This was an image formed by the influence of the rules of heaven and earth. However, Chip was also shocked. He was a mid-level disciple of the seventh zone and a half-step to kingship. His strength had long surpassed the secular world. He could deal with ordinary kings by just lifting
Boom! A shocking explosion! Several tentacles slammed down from the air while others stirred up huge waves from the bottom of the sea that rushed at Philip and Fennel! There was no chance for them to escape! Philip’s face trembled. He raised his right hand, and a dazzling fireball erupted from his palm! Enhanced with the wind attribute, this fireball quickly enlarged, forming a huge fireball. It shrouded Philip and Fennel inside! It was a fireball shield! The eight huge tentacles smacked on the fireball and stirred countless flames! Sizzle! The seawater evaporated instantly, and the tentacles seemed to be roasted with a crackling sound! The fireball shield shattered, and Philip and Fennel were sent flying hundreds of meters away by the enormous energy pressure! The eight huge tentacles quickly wiggled apart and submerged into the sea, sending waves of white smoke billowing! Roar! The octopus shadow behind Chip growled. It seemed that the attack just now had
“Let’s walk ahead. I believe this is an illusion created by the stone man to confuse us. As long as we stay calm, he can’t do anything to us,” Philip said calmly as if he knew what was going on. He and Rabbit walked forward and soon saw a huge oasis in front of them. Rabbit was delighted to see the oasis because that meant there was still hope for them. Although the desert environment was harsh, they should be able to bump into some indigenous people and figure out what was going on. “Philip, are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see an oasis ahead of us. This is great. In that case, we can find a way out!” Rabbit knew that Philip had been looking for a way out but to no avail. Something had to be preventing him from doing it. They might have to pass a test before they could leave. In that case, they had to figure out the secret. Philip glanced at the oasis in front of him and relaxed a little. At least, he could tell that it was not a mirage. They excitedly ran to the oasi
The black shadow was not bothered about revealing its identity because it liked being a stone man. “The stone people have strong minds and a firm resolve. They're never as disgusting and selfish as humans. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to develop. I found a fragmented scroll that recorded some techniques for development. Among them is a technique most suitable for the stone people to become stronger through a sacrificial ritual.” The stone man seemed very earnest as he explained the details, but he was, in fact, using this time to solidify his body until he was finally complete. “Haha, everything is over once I get rid of you!” the stone man laughed. His figure shook, and clouds of black energy formed again. However, the black energy was only aimed at Philip. In his opinion, the others would die once he got rid of Philip. Philip was surrounded by black energy before he could react. In a split second, he could not see anything around him. Seeing this, Rabbit rushe
Before this, these people kept insulting Philip and wished they could tear him into pieces. They even thought it was unlucky to see him here. Surprisingly, events took a sudden turn, and Philip became their savior instead. “Enough with the crap.” Philip did not want to respond to their gratitude. He just wished they could get the fight over and done with so that they could leave. “By the way, I'm curious about something.” As the fight reached the boiling point, Philip turned to the black shadow curiously. The black shadow was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. “What are you curious about?” The black shadow wanted to buy some time. It was just a step away from forming a solid entity, which could improve its strength significantly. Philip would have to think twice about dealing with it by then. Thus, the black shadow was excited that Philip wanted to chat with it. “How did you make that mysterious old man convey the news?” According to most people, they found out about
The black shadow gained strength by devouring other people’s flesh and blood. Philip knew that he might be no match for the black shadow once it devoured everyone present. After going through all the trouble, it would not let all its efforts go to waste. Philip's appearance had ruined its plan. It would probably go crazy if it could not devour these people. “No one can stop me today. So what if you’re strong? I don't believe you can save everyone!” After saying this, the black energy rushed to the merfolk. The merfolk ran to Philip in a panic, hoping that Philip could protect them. “Lyle,” Philip said. Philip was exasperated by these stupid merfolk. Lyle rushed forward and attacked the black energy. Back then, Philip had given them sachets to ward off evil energy. Lyle had a sudden idea and hurled a sachet at the black shadow. It was just an experiment, but it worked. After sensing the powder in Philip's sachet, the black energy shrank back and stopped moving as if it h
The black shadow was surprised that Philip would say such a thing. As far as it knew, humans were not so easy to speak to. Humans had always been selfish and would never speak for other races. “I haven’t shown you my strength yet. If you leave now, I’ll consider sparing your life.” After saying that, the clouds of black energy surrounded everyone again. It was afraid of Philip. Philip and his men were a force to be reckoned with. They were definitely no ordinary people. Even if it formed a solid entity, it might not be able to beat Philip. So, it decided to trick Philip into leaving. It could still complete its plan once Philip left. “Since you killed my people, there’s no point for you to stay here. You should leave. I’ll let you go.” It was very calm as if confident that Philip would leave. “But you can only take your people with you. The others are none of your business.” Hearing that, the others stared at Philip nervously. The other races who fought side-by-side with
Although the other races were at odds with Philip, they had a common enemy, so there was no need to trigger a conflict. Although the merfolk were uncertain about Philip’s reaction, they joined the battle too. Although Philip did not indicate that he would help them, Philip was fighting. As long as they won, they would survive. “Keep it up. Don’t let Philip down. Let’s do our best and show Philip what we can do!” the merfolk roared. They knew that it was not easy to show their strength. They had suffered greatly in the previous battle. They were lucky enough to be alive right now. Philip knew that they were injured, but he had no intention of helping them. Although not all the merfolk were bad, their leader was a different story. If that high and mighty chief was willing to approach him and show his servitude, Philip might consider giving him a chance. However, he was still putting on airs, which was simply a joke. As Philip fought, he saw the merfolk fighting too. Although th
The merfolk begging Philip for help did not think Philip had done anything wrong in the previous incident. They knew what happened to their holy maiden was related to Tom. Philip was not at fault at all. Many of them also had some opinions about the merfolk chief, but they had to keep their mouths shut if they wanted to survive.They were really scared this time. The merfolk begged Philip on their knees. Although undignified, it was the only way to survive. Other races stared at the merfolk in surprise, wondering what was going on. Many people knew that the merfolk had suffered a great blow, but they never thought they would become so cowardly. What happened to the merfolk was not a secret. Everyone knew about their holy maiden. However, most of them did not know the details. They thought the merfolk simply encountered some difficulties. Coupled with the appearance of the demons, everyone gradually forgot about it. Seeing the merfolk again, their curiosity was piqued. “W
Aslan and the others scowled at the empty space. There was no exit in this direction. Everyone was worried. There was nowhere to run even if they wanted to. “Philip, we have been surrounded. We can only go through the black energy if we want to leave!” Aslan said anxiously. He did not have to touch it to know how toxic the black energy was. “Don’t touch that thing!” Black Rabbit jumped out in a panic. “I saw some stubborn people going through the black energy and dying of poison!” Philip sighed. They could not afford any more deaths. The statue was clearly triggered by the dead people’s blood. At this rate, they would be in big trouble. Everyone was in the same boat. They could not afford any careless mistakes. “Forget it. We can’t handle them. Do we have any pills that can withstand that black energy or any armor to protect ourselves?” Aslan suggested. Philip waved his hand. “It’s too late.” The black energy was slowly forming a human shape. Everyone followed Phi
Someone was brave enough to touch the black energy. At one touch, he realized the error of his ways because he was devoured by it. He turned into a puff of blood mist with no chance of recovery at all. Some people took out some pills and stuffed them into their mouths, but they lost consciousness before the pills took effect. They turned into puffs of blood mist and vanished into the air, but Philip noticed something. He looked in the direction where the blood mist disappeared. The blood mist was following an invisible route to a black statue. Philip would not have believed that there was a huge and terrifying statue in this place if he had not followed the blood mist. He watched as the wisps of blood merged into the statue, turning it red. The statue looked terrifying. Only the statue’s eyeballs remained black while the rest was an eerie blood red. “We can’t have more people dying.” Philip scowled and told everyone what he had seen. At this rate, he was worried about what
