I twas 5:00 am on Corsage Mountain. The sky collapsed, lightning flashed, and a battered stargate suddenly appeared. A bloody figure fell from the sky. The man was covered in blood, and his eyes were dim. He looked at everything in front of him and sensed his surroundings… The man was none other than Philip! He dragged his battered body and stood on the top of the mountain. Looking around, he felt the energy around him. This was actually the ancestral land! The stargate brought him back to the ancestral land! “I can’t believe that I’m back! I've only been away for two or three years, but the ancestral land has changed so much.” Philip was very surprised. He sat on the ground and sensed the energy around him, trying to recover as soon as possible. The Dragon Finger totally destroyed Philip’s foundation. His practice level plummeted to rock bottom, and even his energy veins were all nearly severed! If he had not evaded the final attack at the point of Verge Tower’
“Damn it, is someone trying to steal my turf?” A young man with a childish face appeared in front of Philip, looking at him unhappily. “Who are you? How dare you steal my turf?” He was the third young master of the Skater family. After the energy returned to the ancestral land, the Skater family got the opportunity by chance and embarked on the path of practice. The world’s order had been reorganized. Normal people were seen as useless waste, while practitioners stood on top of the world and looked down upon everything. Killing was not an uncommon sight. As long as no big commotion was caused, the higher-ups could hardly intervene in the face of a family’s forces. “Who are you?” Philip was quite excited to see another person even though he had no idea who he was. After being away for so long, Philip was excited that he finally set foot on this land again. “Oh, are you here to practice too?” Cole sneered and motioned to his men to surround Philip. “Cole, what’s takin
“You! Are you an expert in the first zone?” He shouted in a panic, and the bodyguards around him did not dare to act rashly either. Although they could see that the move had consumed a lot of energy from Philip, no one dared to make a move. His strength was unfathomable, and they wanted to protect themselves! “Take me to the Johnston family!” Philip stepped forward and stared at the trembling Cole seriously. Cole was worried about his life. He staggered his way down the mountain. Philip’s priority was to go back to the Johnston family and see what the world had become. After Philip left, the bodyguard stepped forward to help Celia up and lead her down the mountain. “Report this matter to the patriarch quickly!” “Oh no, Miss Celia’s breathing is getting abnormal. We need to get her to the hospital!” “I can see that his strength is nothing much, but with Young Master Cole in his hands, we have to be careful!” The bodyguards hurried down the mountain and found that
The man stood next to the car with flowers in hand, looking at Martha excitedly. Upon seeing Philip, resentment and disbelief filled his eyes. Philip frowned. Had his mother-in-law found a younger man in the past three years? “You should go. I’ll look for you later,” Martha said anxiously to the man. Philip noticed a flash of panic on her face. “I’m going in.” Philip could not be bothered with Martha’s messy affairs. He just wanted to see Wynn and his kids as soon as possible! As Philip ran inside, Martha pulled the tall man outside. As soon as he entered the yard, Philip saw a seven-year-old girl watering the flowers. A woman with a good figure and a delicate face stood next to her. “Dad!” When the girl saw Philip, she immediately put down the watering can and ran to Philip with a sweet smile. Philip's eyes turned red. He knelt and hugged his daughter. “Mila, I’m home. I won’t leave again.” The delicate woman looked at Philip in surprise and excitement with
“Phil, you’ve been through a lot,” Wynn said gently. Despite a million thoughts in her mind, she could only manage this remark. Philip touched Wynn's head gently. He felt a lingering fear as he looked at his wife's pretty face. If he had returned too late, his lovely wife and daughter would have died from Golden Blood Syndrome. “Tale this medicine and your illness will be cured.” Philip shoved the Multidew Herb into Wynn's hand as if he was giving her something ordinary. “Mila, come and eat this.” Wynn beckoned to Mila. Mila ran over, took the herb from her mother, and stuffed it into her mouth. “Wow, Mom, this is tastier than chocolate. It’s sweet and melts in the mouth!” Mila grabbed her mother’s hand happily. Wynn swallowed the herb and felt it melting in her mouth. The sweetness made her feel comfortable all over. “Hey, Mom, you’re all dirty!” Mila covered her nose and exclaimed. “Ah, I’m dirty too!” Wynn and Mila screamed as they rushed to the bathroom
The call was hung up. Wynn looked at Philip apprehensively. “Phil, my mom wants me to go to Stardom Restaurant for dinner.” Philip guessed Martha’s intention. “It’s okay. I’ll go with you.” Philip gently stroked Mila's head and said, “Mila, stay at home and behave yourself, okay? We’ll be back soon.” Mila nodded seriously in agreement. Philip took Wynn to Stardom Restaurant in a car. The city streets were as bustling as ever. Although energy had recovered, the officials maintained the order very well. At least, normal people were not in danger, and social order was still preserved. They soon arrived at Stardom Restaurant. It was one of the top five-star restaurants in Rhineville. Only expensive ingredients were used, and the menu was specially catered for the wealthy. Philip and Wynn seemed a little out of place here. They wore simple outfits, while the other customers here wore branded clothes that exuded an air of nobility. Fortunately, the waiter did not judg
Martha scowled when she noticed Philip at the door. “Why are you here?” Martha's flattering smile faded, replaced with contempt. “What's this beggar doing here? Get lost! You’re not welcome here!” Martha looked at the private room nervously, afraid that Philip’s presence would make Gere angry. Gere noticed Philip, of course. He smirked and looked at Philip with interest. “There’s no hurry. After going missing for so many years, you must be starving by now. Why don’t you stay for a meal?” Gere spoke with a condescending tone that made Wynn very angry. “Hurry up and sit down. Do I need to invite you? I’m really ashamed to be associated with such a loser!” Martha kept throwing insults at Philip, and Wynn seemed more exasperated. Philip held Wynn's hand, sat at the other end of the table, and looked at them silently. Gere seemed very smug. He wanted to humiliate Philip in front of Wynn! He wanted Philip to know what power looked like. “You can order whatever you
Martha seemed disdainful. “He’s that person from the Clarke family! The most promising young patriarch of the Clarke family! It’s a pity that he has gone missing for three years. Now that the Clarke family is gone, the so-called most promising young patriarch of the family is nothing more than a loser!” The harsh words seemed to pierce through the depths of Philip's soul. “The Clarke family is gone?” Philip stood up abruptly. The first thing he did when he returned was to give the Multidew Herb to his wife and daughter. He did not have time to return to Arcadia Island to visit the Clarke family yet. Only three years had passed in the ancestral land. How did the world change so much? Philip frowned with a hint of murderous intent. If the Clarke family was gone, what about his father and the others? As the top family, Philip knew that many others coveted their wealth and power! If the Clarke family collapsed, everyone would swarm in and tear the Clarke family into pie
“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
