Fennel frowned and said, “It’s difficult to say. Among the forces in Cochly Mountain, it’s not that easy to deploy so many experts at once. Moreover, the other party's targets are you and Janike.” “You have no contact with Cochly Mountain, so it doesn’t make sense for so many people to come after you. Even if there were, it should only be those few.” “Which ones?” Philip asked. “First, the Lovelace family. They know you're here and want to kill you, but that doesn’t match up with the message Wynn left you earlier. I don’t think the Lovelace family wants to kill you but to use you to achieve their ulterior motives instead. “Second, the people from the Nonagon. You have a grudge against Cooper Berry, so his intent to kill you is greater. “Third…” Fennel did not continue but frowned. Philip’s face darkened and said, “Who’s the third?” Fennel said, “This is the last thing I want. Someone in Cochly Mountain wants you dead. If that’s the case, it means that someone in Cochly
Philip and the others looked over and found that most people in the training camp were disciples. They had arrogance and disdain written all over their faces. Philip also felt powerful energy fluctuations and the power of rules from them. The disciples of Cochly Mountain in this training camp were not simple. The murderous and fierce aura exuded from them seemed as if they had just experienced a bloody battle. The weakest person had the strength of the fourth zone. Philip and the others followed Owen inside. Seeing Owen, the disciples bowed slightly and greeted him. Owen merely nodded with his hands behind his back. He led Philip and the others inside. As they passed through the training grounds of the training camp, Owen introduced as he walked, “These are disciples on rotational duty at the stargate. All of them are brave and good at fighting, but as you can see, they’re unwilling to concede to anyone. I hope you guys can interact with them more in the future.” Phil
Philip shook his head helplessly, glanced at Fennel, and said, “What do you think?” Fennel shrugged and said, “They’re here for you. We’ll go to our rooms first.” After saying that, Fennel turned around and went into the dormitory with 17 and the others. Seeing their blatant disregard for them, the bald man scowled and shouted coldly, “Kid, you’re very cocky, huh? I asked you a question!” Philip looked at the man, raised his hand, clenched his fist, craned his neck, and said, “If you want to fight, just go ahead. I have other things to do.” “Damn it! You’re too arrogant!” “This is Cochly Mountain. How dare a newbie like you talk to Evan like this?” “Boys, let’s go! Let’s show him who’s in charge here!” With that said, these five people attacked Philip from five different directions! The bald man threw a punch with a flaming fist. He was a disciple with the fire attribute! The others had the ice attribute, the wind attribute, and the earth attribute respectively with
With that threat, the bald man ran away. Philip’s expression darkened. He glanced at the people watching the fun in the distance and shouted coldly, “Anyone else wants to try?” Those people snorted, turned around, and went on with their own business. Philip stood for a while before turning around and entering the dormitory. Fennel and the others were already resting on the beds, while 17 was polishing her scimitar. “How was it?” Fennel asked while lying on the bed with his head pillowed in his arms. Philip sat on his bed and said, “I tested them. They’re so-so.” “Who do you think sent them?” Fennel got up and asked. Philip thought for a while and said, “We just arrived and didn’t really run into anyone. Either Commander Greene wants to test our strength, or the group of people who tried to kill us earlier want to spread the rumors on purpose.” “Are you referring to Reynold?” Fennel asked with a frown. “Bingo.” Philip nodded, got up, and said, “Do you still remember
Janike spread her arms open, and her body suddenly glowed like white jade. The bright glow poured into the black stargate, which its end could not be seen. It was as if the stargate was a monster that devoured everything, constantly consuming the mysterious power of rules from Janike. This process continued for several hours. Janike became very weak, and her lips turned pale. Marquis Fulmore waved his hand, brought Janike away from the stargate, and said to the servant behind him, “Bring the guardian maiden to rest.” Marquis Fulmore and the others looked at the stargate that was finally calm and said, “Peace has been restored at last. A few days later and I’m afraid we wouldn’t even be able to restrain the stargate if we join forces.” Another marquis nodded and said with a frown, “The lord took Juno Yarrow to seal the stargate again back then. Why does the stargate still show such abnormal fluctuations?” Marquis Fulmore shook his head and said, “I don't know either. Maybe
The Death Canyon was marked on the map as the most dangerous and heavily guarded place. Heavily armed guards were stationed at the entrance of Death Canyon. Many high-level disciples also stood guard nearby. Philip and Fennel hid in the snowy woods on one side, looking into the darkness in the distance at the patrolling guards and the huge searchlights. Basically, no living person could break in. In the dark, the guards were chatting and smoking. Not even the cry of a bird could be heard, only the whistling cold wind. Philip glanced at Fennel and asked, “Do you think you can break in?” Fennel shrugged and said, “Almost impossible.” “Look, the ones with the giant axes are the warriors guarding Death Canyon. They look quite strong, probably disciples at the peak of the sixth zone. Once we fight with them, there’s sure to be a big commotion. It’ll be difficult to get in at that time.” Philip frowned and looked at the entrance of the Death Canyon where the four fat guys w
“Do you know that your appearance in Cochly Mountain has attracted the attention of many people?” Marquis Fulmore asked. Philip frowned and said, “I know.” Marquis Fulmore sighed and said, “I know what you're thinking. Your recklessness will ruin the overall plan. Cochly Mountain is not as simple as you think. The forces here are many and complicated, and everyone serves their master loyally. If you act impulsively, you’ll most likely offend some people behind them. When the time comes, I can’t stop them if they want to do anything to you.” Philip frowned and said, “Even a powerful half-step to the other shore like you are afraid of those people in the dark?” Marquis Fulmore turned around, glanced at Philip with a hint of admiration in the corner of his eyes, and said, “To many people, a half-step to the other shore can practically rule over a country single-handedly. But in Cochly Mountain, strength doesn’t mean everything. The scheming and chess game behind this, as well as t
His father knew of the reason? Philip was solemn as a bad premonition welled in him. This sudden turn of events had caught him off guard. They actually wanted to forcefully open the stargate and select talents to enter the other shore for this so-called training. “Marquis Fulmore, have you conducted similar training before?” Philip asked. Marquis Fulmore nodded and said, “Yes, but all ended in failure. None of the trainees who entered the other shore survived. However, we still persisted in doing so every time. Only by doing so can we understand the level of civilization and strength of that world and prepare ourselves better.” Hearing this, Philip frowned and asked, “My father and the others, have they never trained on the other shore before?” Marquis Fulmore shook his head and said, “No, but according to historical records, our predecessors have returned safely from the other shore before. Those supreme powerhouses have left a strong legacy in history, but they didn’t say
