“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
On the westernmost side of the city, Philip found a mountain gate that looked vague and mysterious. When Philip and the others landed, they finally had a good feel of the environment here. A dry wave of heat rushed over them, and the sunlight burned their skin. They were surrounded by loess and ruins. It was as if a great war had happened here. There were four entrances and exits in the city. Philip and his gang landed on the small apron outside the east gate. After they landed, a local tour guide approached and asked in a local accent, “Hello, everyone, are you here for a holiday or to participate in the Mystic City Competition?” Philip glanced sideways at Fennel, who said with a smile, “Holiday.” The tour guide immediately said cheerfully, “My name is Doggo. I’ll bring you into the city for a rest.” Philip glanced around. Many groups of people were dressed up like they were here for business and seemed to be discussing with other tour guides too. “Sure,” Philip re
Seeing the four burly men approaching, Philip and the others frowned. They remained silent. Bang! The fat man in the lead had a round face and beard, as well as yellow teeth. He was smoking a cigarette and had a huge machete on his waist! He stepped on Philip’s chair, put his hand on his knee, and asked, “Hey, are you new here? Which faction do you belong to? Don't you know that this territory belongs to me, Sumo? Why didn’t you greet me when you walked in?” Philip frowned and said coldly, “I'm sorry, I don't know you. We’re here for a holiday.” Hahaha! The bearded fat man laughed, sized Philip up, and said, “A fair and delicate kid like you is here for a holiday? Who are you trying to fool?” “Boy, I saw you giving a banknote to Doggo just now. I can see that you’re very rich. It just so happens that we’re short of money, so give us some right now!” The fat bearded man stretched out his black greasy hand and motioned for money. This looked like daylight robbery. Man
The other guests in the hotel lobby were stunned at this scene! Someone with a gun! Oops, Sumo had run into a tough opponent! No one expected these ordinary-looking people to bring a gun with them! “Sir, I’m sorry, we were wrong. We’re blind and ignorant. Please give us a way out. We won’t do this again.” At this moment, Philip turned around indifferently. He propped his arms on his knees, and his hands were relaxed. The golden Desert Eagle was held in his right hand. He raised the golden Desert Eagle in his hand, placed it on Sumo’s neck, jerked his round face around, and asked, “How long have you been here?” “T-Three years.” Sumo stared at the golden Desert Eagle in Philip’s hand and squeezed out a smile. The fat on his face trembled as he said, “Sir, be careful or the gun will go off.” Sumo was scared. It was not as if he had not seen anyone with a gun, but he was unlucky enough to run head-on into one now. “Are you very familiar with this place?” Philip asked.
The person who walked in was a young and handsome man about 25 or 26 years old. He wore a white suit and black sunglasses. He was followed by six guys in black suits and had a black tattoo resembling the pearly gates on his neck! People from the Heavenly Court? Philip and the others immediately noticed the tattoos on these people’s necks. The young man in the lead nonchalantly exposed his wrist that had a golden tattoo of the pearly gates! In an instant, Philip recalled the information about the Heavenly Court that Fennel showed him last night. Everyone in the Heavenly Court had a tattoo for identification. It was the logo of the pearly gates. The black ones represented the guards, bodyguards, thugs, and so on. The silver ones represented the management of Heavenly Court. They had some strength and power. The golden ones represented the core personnel of the Heavenly Court, the leaders. In other words, the young man in front of them was actually the core personnel
Philip raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the man in front of him seriously. Under the sunglasses, there was a pair of cold eyes. The smile on the corner of his mouth made people uncomfortable. His lips were a little thin and small, unlike a man’s. He looked like a boy toy too. Click! Suddenly, Philip raised the golden Desert Eagle, placed it right between Ludo’s eyebrows, and said, “I hate it when others threaten me. Do you think I dare to kill you right here?” The other party seemed unafraid and said, “You won’t.” “Why?” Philip asked. Lord Ludo replied, “Because you’re interested in Heavenly Court, and you want to know more secrets from me.” Bull’s eye. However, Philip said nonchalantly, “I can kill you first, then ask your followers.” Lord Ludo shook his head and said, “That won’t work. If I’m dead, what awaits you will be the never-ending pursuit of the Heavenly Court. Besides, your sister, Hannah, will also face a crisis.” Hearing this, Philip put away
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
“What the hell did you do? Give Philip back. Stop messing around!” Aslan threatened the stone man. Aslan knew that the stone man must have taken Philip to a dangerous place. Philip must have been taken into a barrier or an unknown and terrifying place. Anyway, the stone man must be up to no good! The stone man calmly ignored them. “I’m your only opponent. I don't know how many stone people there are in the outside world, but as far as I know, I’m the only stone man in this world. “Since Philip is that powerful, I’ll give him six hours. If he can leave my secret realm, I’ll let you go. If not, be prepared to die.” After saying that, the stone man laughed wickedly and vanished from the spot, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. No one knew where he had gone, and no one knew what was going on. The people of the major races summoned their people in a panic. No matter what, they had to find the way out. “Hurry up and find an exit. We can't put all our hope
“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
