Reed frowned and said with a nod, “Well, Cody Crane was once a famous character with fame no less than the five marquises. He once had the reputation that the world would tremble under his feet.” The world would tremble under his feet? Philip frowned. Reed shook his head and said, “Forget it, it’s best if you don’t get involved with this person. However, since your grandfather said so, you can look for him if you really get into any trouble. Maybe you can get some unexpected results.” “Okay.” Philip nodded, glanced at the letter in his hand, and said, “I’ll leave Fernvale to you, then.” Reed smiled and said, “I just received an order from the Imperial Preceptor. He’s ready to make a move against Fernvale, so I’m not helping you but simply carrying out his orders.” “The Imperial Preceptor wants to make a move against Fernvale?” Philip asked. Reed said, “Yes, he has lost patience with the situation here in Fernvale. Time is running out for those troublemakers.” Hearing
Philip immediately perked up. He took the information from Fennel and glanced through it carefully. Heavenly Court?! This organization was called the Heavenly Court? What a domineering name! This was a name that only appeared in ancient mythology! In modern society, those who dared to use such a name as the name of an organization were either very influential or powerful! This term was very meaningful! “Is this their name?” Philip asked with a frown, still in disbelief. The logo of this organization was the pearly gates of heaven, which looked huge, profound, and grand. Fennel shrugged and said, “Yes, Steven sent this. To be honest, I was shocked when I found out as well. Those who can use this name are definitely not ordinary people!” Philip was grave as he carefully looked at some of the information about this so-called Heavenly Court. The information sent by Steven was not much, most of which was superficial intelligence and clues. There was also a little int
Based on the information, his mother suddenly disappeared from the Heavenly Court more than 10 years ago. Since then, the Heavenly Court had no leader for a while and was temporarily managed by the Great Heavenly King of the neutral faction. All three factions had a Great Heavenly King. The strength of the Great Heavenly King was not mentioned, but Philip guessed that they should be a half-step to the other shore. That was because during the disciple competition between the North and the South, the person who fought against Grandmaster Turner was the Great Heavenly King of the conservative faction! At this point, Philip could not help but gasp. He looked up at Fennel and asked, “How credible do you think this information is?” Fennel thought about it and said, “I believe in the intelligence of the Smith family. At least 80% of this information is true. This Heavenly Court will become our formidable enemy in the future. We have too little information about it, and it has been
The people of the Heavenly Court would be going to Mystic City too? Philip asked in surprise, “Why would they go there? Did something happen in Mystic City?” Fennel said gravely, “I don’t know the specifics, but according to the information, something extraordinary seems to have appeared in Mystic City, which has attracted the attention of all parties. This time, I’m afraid we might run into many forces and acquaintances.” “What is it? It has attracted so many people's attention, and even the Heavenly Court that has always been hiding in the dark has sent some people over?” Philip asked. Fennel said solemnly, “It’s said to be an object left by the ancient sages that can suppress the stargate. However, no one knows what it is. This is the rumor for now.” At this point, Fennel paused and said, “I suspect that someone is secretly manipulating something. Mystic City may have become a chessboard for a certain big figure who’s making a move right now.” Hiss! Hearing this, Phili
Cynthia dried her tears and said, “Why are you here?” Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at the moon in the night sky that rarely made an appearance, and said, “I was afraid you’d do something stupid.” Hearing this, Cynthia laughed through her tears and said, “I’m not that fragile. I just…” Cynthia did not complete her sentence. Philip suddenly said, “Cynthia, you should understand that I can't make any promises to you. Feelings are like that. I admit that I don’t hate you and even like you a bit.” Hearing this, Cynthia became a little excited. “But I can’t think about this right now. Maybe I’ll change my mind in three to five years. After all, as a man, loving someone is not the same as liking someone. Wynn is the love of my life. I won’t hurt her or make her sad. “If you’re willing, wait for me for three years. After three years, I’ll give you a reply and a status.” After Philip finished speaking, he looked at Cynthia seriously. Philip did not know
“What?!” Hearing the guard's words, Hogan was shocked and said with disbelief, “The grandmaster was fine a few days ago. How did this happen?” “Fourth Master, we don't know the specifics. The patriarch asked you to return to the Larson family quickly,” the guard said. Without delay, Hogan and Cynthia hurried back to Larson Manor. As soon as they entered the manor, Hogan and Cynthia sensed the unusually heavy atmosphere. In the main hall, Silva and the other two brothers as well as the other Larson family members were there. They seemed to be waiting for Hogan and his daughter. Seeing them return, Zayn was the first to chastise them. “Good for you, Hogan Larson! How dare you collude with outsiders and plot against the Larson family? You’re disloyal and unfilial! How dare you come back?” Nash followed suit. “Hogan, kneel down and plead your guilt in front of everyone!” Hogan’s face was cold, and an aura that had never appeared before surged from his body. He shouted ang
Finally, Hogan turned around, pointed at Silva who was sitting on the main seat, and shouted, “And you, the head of the Larson family, Silva Larson! You betrayed the Larson family’s rules, turned against your predecessors, colluded with outsiders, and dragged the Larson family down because of your wild ambitions! You even plotted to kill your relatives. You should be executed immediately!” Rumble! A blast of thunder exploded above Larson Manor! All the members of the Larson family were shocked, and their faces turned pale! Silva sat on the main seat, his face ashen and his fists clenched. He shouted angrily, “Enough! Hogan, do you know what you are talking about?” The angry shout resounded throughout the hall! Silva’s face was full of anger, and his eyes seemed to be blazing as he stared at Hogan! Hogan snorted coldly and shouted, “I respect you as the head of the family and my eldest brother, but your actions recently are despicable!” With that said, Hogan turned aroun
Hogan immediately turned down Cynthia’s offer and said, “No way. We can’t let Philip know about this. He’s on his way to Mystic City now. That place is dangerous. Don’t let him be distracted by the grandmaster’s problem.” “What should we do, then?” Cynthia asked anxiously. Hogan looked at Chip who was standing at the door and preventing them from entering. He said coldly, “Chip, you actually betrayed the grandmaster.” Chip sneered and said, “Fourth Master, you’ve misunderstood. I've been loyal to the Larson family all my life.” “Loyal to the Larson family? Hehe.” Hogan sneered and said, “One day, you’ll understand how stupid your actions today are!” Then, Hogan looked at the yard and said to Cynthia, “Let’s go and look for Supreme Williams!” With that said, Hogan left with Cynthia. The Larson family could no longer stop Hogan and Cynthia at will right now. Seeing them leave, a chill flashed in Chip’s eyes as he said, “Everything we do means the most to the Larson fami
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
