“Philip, can I bring some people to pick up my family members?” Aslan said nervously. He had family among the lion monster beasts too.No one knew what would happen next. It was better for everyone to stay together. Philip nodded in agreement. “At this rate, I think we’ll fall in a week,” Philip frowned as he analyzed solemnly. Without further delay, Aslan rushed back to the villa and quickly informed everyone about it. Meanwhile, Philip patrolled the surroundings to observe the changes. For the time being, he could not sense anything wrong in the city area. Other practitioners felt the changes in the air. It did not occur to them that a crisis was looming. They just thought that their era was coming. The reclusive practice world had integrated with the secular practice world. The law of the jungle remained unchanged. Everyone felt the changes in the surroundings. Some were nervous while others mapped out their grand plans. The Stein family and the Zucker family had met
“We suffered heavy losses back then, and the stone used for sealing those creatures is more or less defective. We were forced to use some other methods to contain those troublemakers.” Everyone was solemn, especially Philip. The other party had been trapped in the sealed land for a century, giving them ample time to focus on practice. With their return, they'll definitely make a comeback with all they have and devour the ancestral land. Philip had no idea how many monsters were trapped in the sealed land. If the number was large enough, even he could do nothing no matter how powerful he was. Did he really have to give up everything and take his family and friends to hide on the Guzo Continent? Philip wanted to treat the Guzo Continent as his stronghold, not his safe house. “We’re here for a reason, little one,” Elijah said awkwardly. As a centenarian, he felt embarrassed to ask a young man for help. Elijah was quite young when he joined the war back then. He did not contr
“Is it okay for my clergy members to stay here for a few nights? I’ll take them to visit other forces next.” Elijah made his request. He did not plan to bring too many people with him. This operation would be very difficult, and people of the reclusive guilds might not be so cooperative. He did not want to let his people down. Philip did not refuse. It was no big deal for him. “Stay here in peace. We probably only have a week before the big day arrives. We have to come up with a plan within a week,” Philip said solemnly. Elijah nodded and said, “The biggest problem we have is that we don't have the sealing stone on hand. No one found any traces of it after its disappearance.” Without the sealing stone, they could not trap the extraterrestrial creatures completely no matter how good they were at laying formations. There was no point in temporarily trapping them for a short duration. This remark caught Philip's attention, and he smiled. Philip took out a stone from his po
Elijah looked at Philip with awe and respect. He merely saw Philip as a powerful junior, but there was more than met the eye. Elijah felt that he had underestimated Philip. Maybe he should think twice about the force behind this seemingly elegant young man. Novak watched nervously as Elijah handed the stone back to Philip. He opened his mouth but found no voice. He knew that it was not his place to speak. “Please keep this stone carefully. It’ll play a big role when the time is ripe," Elijah’s voice quivered as he said. He knew the importance of this stone, which could help them seal those extraterrestrial creatures. Elijah wanted to study the stone but knew it belonged to Philip. “I’ll leave my clergy members in your good hands. Time is very precious now. I have to contact other guilds at once!” Elijah waved his hand and told his clergy members to thank Philip. The clergies of Mistral Temple were extremely excited after learning that Philip owned the sealing stone. They
Elijah read Novak’s thoughts but could not say anything openly. Novak scowled, surprised that Elijah would say that so directly. Novak planned to forge a good relationship with Philip and see if he could steal the stone. He had been studying seals since he was a child. He had a thorough understanding of seals and was quite proficient at them. More importantly, he wanted to complete the final sealing ceremony in person. Only the person who owned the stone could activate the sealing ceremony. He did not want Philip to steal his limelight. Once he took charge of this event, he would become the successor of Mistral Temple. Novak was restless at the thought of it. Novak turned a deaf ear to Elijah’s warning. It was every man for himself. Novak would not give up the sealing stone so easily. Seeing Novak’s earnest behavior, Elijah got busy with his own affairs. Philip instructed his people to find accommodation for the clergies before he returned to his room. He wanted
If Novak was a decent person, he would not go upstairs without the owner’s permission, especially when he was not allowed. Novak agreed cheerfully and acted as if he had lost his way. After saying goodbye to Preston, he entered the washroom. He had to play the part and continue with his act, but he kept replaying Preston’s words in his mind. Why did he tell him not to go upstairs? If it was just an ordinary storeroom, why was no one allowed in there? Novak was curious about Philip and wanted to know how Philip obtained the stone. …While Philip had time, he accompanied Mila to read and write and taught her some new pill and weapon-making skills. Wynn watched them with a smile on her face. She had been longing to see this. Wynn heard the conversation just now and knew they would be facing a war of the century before long. This war was related to the safety of the whole ancestral land! If they lost, the whole ancestral land would be in danger. Wynn was worried and scar
After running around for a while, Elijah failed to convince anyone. Even if they knew a crisis was imminent, they wanted the biggest profit for their force. Elijah almost went crazy when he realized their thoughts. He had not encountered this situation when he did this with his teacher a century ago! Back then, everyone was very protective of their homeland and immediately stood united against extraterrestrial invaders. On the contrary, people nowadays were very self-centered, with no comparison at all. In desperation, Elijah had no choice but to return to the villa. Since Philip was also at the villa, he deactivated the formation. He did not have time to make extra tokens for everyone. Martha had been hiding in her room, trying to avoid Philip. She knew it would be over once Philip found out about it. Fortunately, Philip seemed very busy and had no time to pay attention to her at all. While everyone was about to have dinner, Elijah dragged himself home tiredly. Philip qu
Philip could set a rule that anyone who wanted to purchase his pills had to take part in the war. In this way, all the forces, large or small, would be forced to take part. Philip's words aroused Elijah's curiosity. He looked at Philip in puzzlement but hesitated to ask. In the end, he simply nodded and started eating. Since Philip was so confident that he could handle everything, Elijah would forget his worries for now and wait for tomorrow.… The next day arrived. Elijah got up early and sat on the couch waiting for Philip. He was surprised to find many kids doing morning exercises. He thought it was a routine morning exercise like the ones in school, but he later discovered that the kids were absorbing the energy in the surroundings. It was simply amazing. Some of the stronger kids had reached the seventh zone while the weaker ones were at the peak of the sixth zone. After the morning exercise of absorbing energy, they took out their alchemy furnaces and medicinal materia
