Philip followed the female attendant into Glenrock Den. It was an elegant garden with a simple yet classy atmosphere. There was a small lotus pond, a small gazebo, and many porcelain decorations. Claus was playing chess in the small gazebo with a guard behind him. The guard looked quite imposing with stern eyes and a cold aura exuding from him. Philip entered the small gazebo, bowed slightly, and said, “How do you do, Dragon King Motley?” Claus laughed and said with a wave, “Don’t be so formal. We’re friends here.” Philip sat down and glanced at the chess game on the table. It was very strange, seemingly with all dead ends. “Do you play chess?” Claus asked when he saw Philip looking at the game. Philip smiled, shook his head, and said, “I know a little bit. I've played with my father before.” Claus smiled and said, “That's great. Play this game with me.” Philip did not refuse, and the two began to play against each other. “Do you need to know something?” Claus ask
Claus said, “Look at the arrowhead.” Philip looked at it carefully and saw a golden dragon gate! That was right! It was that symbol! The same one that Philip saw in the space tunnel! It was the logo of the real Heavenly Court! “Have you seen it before?” Claus asked when he saw Philip’s expression. Philip frowned and said with a nod, “Yes, I have.” Claus nodded and said, “This is the logo of the real Heavenly Court. There were many historical records, but they’re very obscure. Moreover, many archaeologists didn’t study this topic in-depth and only thought of it as a coincidence.” Hearing this, Philip nodded and made a chess move. Claus looked at the chess game and shook his head with a smile. He said, “Your chess skills are not bad.” Philip smiled and said, “It's just a coincidence.” Claus got up and invited Philip into the courtyard. The two sat down, chatting while drinking tea. “Mystic City is very complicated. If you want to get something here, you need t
The first Dragon King. Hearing Philip’s question, Claus put down the teacup in his hand and stared at the birds and flowers in the yard. After a long time, he said apprehensively, “I’d advise you not to ask about him. It’d be better for you.” Hearing Claus’ remark, Philip’s heart skipped a beat. Did the first Dragon King have a huge background? Claus actually showed such apprehension and also advised Philip not to ask about him. After a moment of silence, Philip said, “I still want to know because I don't want to be controlled by others. I can only make corresponding judgments and preparations when I understand the other party.” Hearing this, Claus thought for a moment and said solemnly, “I can tell you some things, but you have to keep the information to yourself and not disclose it to the people around you. Otherwise, it’ll bring disaster to the people around you!” The atmosphere became tense. Philip nodded. Claus used the water from his teacup and wrote a word on t
Philip returned to the hotel where Fennel and the others were waiting for him. “An old beggar came over just now and asked me to give this to you,” Fennel said with a piece of broken jade in his hand. Philip took the jade and glanced at it. It seemed quite unusual, like a part of a larger object. “What old beggar?” Philip asked. Fennel shook his head and said he did not know. Philip frowned, looked at the jade again, and decided not to dwell on it. “By the way, Windsor Well just sent someone over to tell us that the Treasure-Digging Event at the Mystic Cave will be held ahead of schedule,” Fennel said. “Ahead of schedule? When?” Philip asked. “Tomorrow,” Fennel said. Philip scowled and frowned. Why would the Treasure-Digging Event be brought forward? “Anything else?” Philip asked. Fennel said, “He also wants to know if you’ve thought about it.” Philip pondered and said, “What do you think?” Fennel said, “I don't think it’s necessary to work with Windsor. We
Bang! The other party once again rushed over with the dagger in his hand! Philip frowned and kicked out again! Not to be outdone, the other party stopped abruptly before running toward the windows! “Do you want to run?” Philip frowned and punched the figure by the window! Roar! A low roar resounded throughout the hotel and even disturbed the entire street! A flaming fist full of raging energy bombarded the figure! Boom! The figure was sent flying by the flaming fist, and the wall collapsed! Philip stomped on the ground with both feet and jumped out, fighting the person again! The two ran and chased, constantly fighting each other! Crack! Suddenly, the black figure raised his hand and made a grabbing motion at the sky. Several thunderbolts landed on Philip’s head! Philip frowned and quickly retreated! Rumble! Lightning completely engulfed this area. The floor shattered, and gravel flew. The surrounding houses and other facilities were also reduced to ru
More terrifyingly, this fire chimera looked more realistic than before. It was as if it really existed! Philip focused and felt as if he had some subtle connections with this fire chimera! This huge flame chimera stepped on the ground with four hooves. The surrounding space seemed to have melted, and the floor tiles cracked! The other party frowned as dazzling light shot out from between his eyebrows! Roar! A roar resounded throughout the area! A white giant snake suddenly appeared next to the person. It was covered with the power of lightning, and its scales burst with sparks! The white giant snake hissed with a red tongue and stared at Philip and the fire chimera with scarlet eyes. To Philip’s surprise, the giant snake was even more realistic than his fire chimera! “Hehe, do you really want to fight?” the other party asked with a sneer. Philip frowned and made the first move! The fire chimera jumped into the air with four hooves and pounced on the giant lightn
A huge battle broke out between the fire chimera and the giant snake! This scene happened in one corner of Mystic City and attracted the attention of many forces! “Who’s fighting? Such terrifying energy fluctuations are no less than the strength of disciples in the sixth zone!” In an attic, a man with a folding fan asked with a frown. “Young Master, we haven’t received any news yet,” a servant replied. The handsome man frowned and gazed sharply in the direction where the battle broke out in the distance, and his pupils were filled with flames and the power of lightning! “Find out immediately! I want to know the detailed information of the other party. If we can’t control such people, we must kill them!” the man said coldly. “Yes, Young Master!” The servant immediately turned and left. At this moment, a stoic middle-aged man walked out from behind the young man. He had gray hair and his hands were behind his back. His angular face looked serious and resolute. “Uncle
Hiss! Hearing that, the masked man scowled, and his body tensed. Philip actually guessed it. Philip’s face was dark, and his eyes were cold. He had already guessed it long ago. The only person in Mystic City who wanted to take Philip down could only be Dragon King Well! The masked man staggered up from the ground, glanced at Philip, and said, “Even if you let me go now, I won’t be grateful to you. Maybe you’ll even die under my hands one day!” After saying that, the man quickly backed away and left quickly. Philip frowned as he looked at the other party leaving. At this moment, Fennel and the others rushed over. “Are you alright? Who was it?” Fennel asked. Philip said lightly, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be someone sent by Dragon King Well. He’s quite good.” “Why didn’t you make him stay?” Fennel asked. Philip shook his head and said, “I don’t want any trouble. Letting him go is a warning for Dragon King Well.” With that said, they turned and left this pla
“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
