Dane knew very well that if he killed Philip outside, the news would definitely reach Zenith’s ears. If that happened, Dane would die for sure. Thus, he could only make a move inside. He could even shift the blame to others to protect himself. Frowning, Palmer said helplessly, “Are you sure you want to do this? I don’t think it’s good for us.” Dane fell silent. His clothes fluttered in the breeze, and his silhouette looked a little forlorn. After a long while, Dane sighed. “It’s a choice made out of desperation. The ancient Heavenly Court is not comparable to the royal families, after all. Let’s decide later.” Dane shook his head with a grimace and left. Palmer had no choice but to follow suit. … In the yard of the residence of Lookout City's mayor where the White Marsh royal family was located. An old man was leisurely drinking tea with Adonis and the others. Adonis asked cheerfully, “Sir, you certainly know how to enjoy life. Aren’t you afraid that something wil
This world was relative. If there was a holy path, there should be a demonic path. If there was light, there should be darkness. Adonis suddenly realized something. He stood up and bowed to the old man. “Thank you for your guidance, sir.” The old man ignored Adonis and closed his eyes as if he were sleeping. Adonis said no more and left. … Lookout City, in a hotel reserved by Big Dipper Palace. A woman appeared downstairs. She looked up at the hotel with a trace of hesitation in her eyes. A moment later, the woman gritted her teeth and walked into the hotel. As soon as she entered the door, two people with cold eyes appeared in front of her. “Who are you? This hotel has been reserved. Irrelevant people are not allowed to enter.” The woman tried to calm herself down. Her voice was steady with a hint of tremor. “I’m looking for Verdant.” The two people were startled. After they exchanged a glance with each other, one of them nodded. The other person asked, “What
Philip looked at the man coldly. A smack was heard before Philip could respond. The man was sent flying dozens of miles away while a slender hand slowly retracted. Bonnie had made a move. “How rude,” Bonnie said. Bonnie turned to Philip, still cold and aloof. Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “How domineering.” Bonnie said, “You can speak your mind.” He smiled without another word. Meanwhile, many people around sized Philip up. Philip raised his eyebrows at this scene. “Are they members of the Shank family?” Bonnie glanced at those people and said, “You can say so. You must have a purpose for entering the ruins this time. What's your main purpose?” Philip's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to find the Nine Lunar Resurrection Herb, but he had never mentioned it before. The other reason was for his mother, but Bonnie should not know about this. Why did she say that he had a purpose? His eyes darted around as he said with a smile, “Who doesn’t
A handsome young man with gentle eyes and a strong presence flew over from a distance. He quickly landed next to Philip and Bonnie with a smile on his face. Philip was about to speak but stopped upon seeing this man. Bonnie looked at the man and said, “You’re here. This is the practitioner I told you about.” The man glanced at Philip, and a glint of surprise crossed his eyes. “The laws of five elements? You actually managed to do this at nine stars. I have to applaud your courage. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to progress further in the future?” Philip was a little shocked. It was terrifying that this person could tell the laws he practiced after just one glance. By right, only a holy being could tell at this stage. However, this young man could do it so easily. Philip’s shock grew more intense. The man smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself, I’m Byron Shank. The Shank family has a technique that allows us to perceive your general thoughts and the laws
Philip frowned. What reason could it be? Bonnie continued, “You might be that person.” Philip was taken aback and asked in bewilderment, “Which person?” Byron said, “The one who can get the heritage and secrets of the ancient ruins of White Imperial City in the end. But you don't seem to want the heritage, because it looks like you can get something more important there. Or in other words, something better than the White Emperor's heritage.” Byron smiled gently and calmly as if this outcome would definitely come true. However, Philip shook his head with a chuckle and said, “I don’t think so. Do you really think the heritage of White Imperial City can be obtained so easily? What about those indomitable pseudo holy beings? Would they let me have it so easily? Besides, tens of thousands of people in White Imperial City will be competing for it.” Byron and Bonnie smiled but said no more. At this time, an old voice said, “It doesn't matter who gets it. We're not after the he
Zenith fell silent. Philip chuckled and said, “In that case, I agree to work with you, but I won’t tell you immediately after I get it. I’ll only do it once I leave the ruins and am safe. You also have to tell me what it is!” Old Shank smiled at Philip. “No problem. Even if I tell you, you can’t use it if you take it. It belongs to the Shank family.” Philip nodded. “That doesn’t matter.” Old Shank pondered silently before he sent a voice transmission to Philip. “Young man, it’s a very important chapter in the Energy Discerning Technique that has been passed down in the Shank family. Without this chapter, we won’t be able to carry on with the remaining practice. If you can return it to us, the Shank family will help you when you need it.” Philip fell silent. The most important chapter in the Shank family's Energy Discerning Technique. Philip had experienced that technique first-hand when it was displayed by Byron and Bonnie. If they could achieve greater heights in that
Old Shank was dumbfounded at Philip’s shameless remark but simply shook his head in silent agreement. Then, Old Shank looked at Zenith. “Let’s have a cup of tea.” Zenith smiled and nodded. “Let’s go.” The two vanished from the spot and reappeared high in the sky. A tea table appeared in the air with a cloud beneath it. Two stools made of clouds slowly took shape. Old Shank waved his hand gently, and a purple teapot steaming from the spout appeared on the tea table. Two cups stood next to the teapot. “I just got the teapot and tea leaves. Let's give them a try." Without further ado, Zenith sat down and took a sip of tea. After closing his eyes and savoring it carefully, he opened his eyes and looked at Old Shank in surprise. “Enlightenment tea? How did you get this?” Old Shank smiled, pointed downward, and said, “I found an enlightenment tea plant in this city. I got this teapot there too. I think the White Emperor used it before.” Zenith took another sip of the tea
Zenith looked at Old Shank and said gravely, “What’s going on? Tell me in detail.” Old Shank sighed., “My main responsibility in the Shank family is to monitor the fate of the Starfall Continent, so our family generally won't enter a power struggle. But some time ago, a weird feeling suddenly emerged. "If the Shank family doesn’t get involved in the turmoil this time, we might be completely wiped out. “If the Shank family gets involved, the Starfall Continent will undergo a drastic change, and the continent’s life force may be reduced. Some areas may even crumble into the oceans.” Old Shank was full of helplessness, while Zenith was filled with horror. When Old Shank said that he would take action against the Clarke family earlier, Zenith did not take him seriously at all because he knew that the Shank family could not do it. Based on Old Shank’s explanation now, however, the Shank family might take action against the Clarke family! Zenith gasped. “Are you serious?” Old
“Hey buddy, I’m sorry to bother you.” Yule's attitude was quite nice. He approached Lyle and looked at him anxiously. Lyle was at a loss to see the guy at his feet. He had no idea why he encountered this mess when he was only here for a meal. “What’s up? I remember you, but the deal between us is over. Don’t try to rip me off,” Lyle exclaimed in mock horror. Yule quickly explained, “I’d like you to explain the whole situation to me again. I can consider giving you another sum of money if you can match the testimony with my man.” Hearing that, Lyle shook his head. He had no time to waste on them. “Forget it, your rough actions have ruined my appetite. I don't want your money. Please don't follow me anymore. It’s annoying.” After saying this, Lyle walked away. Lyle seemed very unhappy as if he was done talking to them. Yule scowled at his disrespect. “Don't you think you've gone too far?” Yule frowned and said unhappily as Lyle tried to leave. Lyle did not look back. He d
The other party quickly told them about the situation, and everyone was fascinated. Suddenly, a roar came from the side. “Arden!” Everyone jerked awake from their enthrallment. They were familiar with this voice and found it odd to hear it. “Did you hear a voice just now?” “I think so. Is it our boss’ voice?” “How is it possible? Are you drunk? Why would he appear in this place?” They knew that their boss was a gentleman and would never step into this place. At this time, the man named Arden was pulled out by his hair. “Ouch!” he screamed in pain, unable to react. More terrifyingly, the person doing it was his boss. He turned and glanced at Yule anxiously.“What’s up with the information you gave me? Why is it different from what I've been hearing? Everyone said there’s no beautiful woman in the forest, only a powerful but ugly woman!” Yule roared as he wrecked the place. Seeing this, the others ran for their lives. Arden was knocked to the ground and had no idea
“Hey buddy, you seem very troubled. Do you know something? Why don’t you tell me about it?” Yule asked curiously. “There’s no point in doing this. You can't find this woman even if you know anything about her.” Philip rolled his eyes. He had matched his testimony with Aslan before this, so he knew exactly what to say. Yule was very excited. He looked at Philip curiously, waiting to hear what he had to say. “This woman has been living in a remote place for a long time, and she’s very powerful. You’re no match for her. I saw her in the beast forest before and know she’s a force to be reckoned with because she almost killed me. Besides, this portrait is too bland. In reality, she has five eyes and looks very scary. “Forget it, I won’t say anymore. It freaks me out just talking about her.” Philip took the money and left, unwilling to stay a second longer. Seeing Philip’s hasty retreat, Yule felt that something was not normal. If this woman was so mysterious, why would so many
Foxy was having tea with Philip, smiling brightly as she did. “So, this is tea made by humans. It smells pretty good. I wonder what it tastes like.” Foxy swallowed the tea in one gulp. Since tea leaves were quite precious, Foxy knew that she was in for a treat. After drinking the tea, Foxy was shocked to find some changes in her body and felt that she had become stronger. At this time, Aslan rushed over anxiously, staring at Philip in disbelief. “Philip, guess what I just heard?” Aslan was very worried about this development. Philip was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with Aslan to say this to him. “Well, since you didn’t guess it right, let me tell you. Someone is making inquiries about Foxy outside.” Philip and Foxy frowned, not expecting this turn of events. “What? What's going on? Tell me in detail. If someone is asking about Foxy, has she been exposed? How is that possible? We've been very cautious about it. How did this happen?” Philip was confused. They covered
Seeing Aslan’s greed, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but he was a smart man and knew what to do. “Indeed, a few energy stones aren't worth much. I can consider giving you something else if you can tell me more information.” Yule patted Aslan’s shoulder, trying to gloss things over. “No problem. As long as the price is right, everything can be discussed. To tell you the truth, this woman is nothing worth mentioning. “She’s not as beautiful as in the portrait. On the contrary, she’s very ugly. At least for me, I’ve never seen such an ugly woman in my life, but she’s quite powerful. Don’t think you can mess with her just because she’s ugly.” Yule frowned at this unexpected situation. “Are you saying that she looks different than in the portrait? If that’s the case, why—” Yule was interrupted before he could finish his words. “Now that I’ve given you such important information, you need to pay me or I won’t be happy about it.” Aslan beckoned Yule, waiting fo
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
