Aslan felt uneasy seeing everyone so busy. “Philip, I want to join them!” Aslan wanted to join the battlefield, but Philip stopped him. “No rush. I sense something weird.” Philip's perception was very powerful. He felt that something was fast approaching the academy. Moreover, it seemed that the other party came from deep underground. Aslan stood on guard. If Philip was so nervous, this had to be weird. “No one has time to waste. Only the two of us are free. Let's go and take care of this.” Philip stretched his muscles as if he was ready for a fight. Hearing that, Aslan was excited and knew it was time for a good fight. “Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well have some fun. Let’s see how powerful that guy is!” Aslan and Philip went outside and waited nervously for the arrival of the underground creature.…Fennel and the others were not doing well. Fennel was almost exhausted. Even though he had supernatural abilities, he felt tired. “Fortunately,
“Philip, we've been surrounded,” Aslan said to Philip warily. He knew that this thing was not simple, at least nothing he had seen before. “This thing is eerie Quite spooky, indeed.” Philip decided to wait and observe before making a move, sensing this strange atmosphere. At this moment, Philip suddenly felt something attacking him from behind. It was not a pleasant feeling. “Boo-hoo, is there a kind Samaritan willing to save me?” An androgynous voice rang in Philip's ears, making him feel very uncomfortable. The voice whistled in Philip’s ears like a ghost as if harassing Philip. Aslan heard the noise and frowned in displeasure. “Stop fooling around and come out at once!” he roared in anger. He wished he could catch this arrogant and domineering fellow and beat them up. Philip calmed down and searched through Verge Tower. He felt as if he had missed something. He looked around Verge Tower for a while and finally found a small flag. “I think this thing can control t
“Philip, I feel like the day is getting closer,” Aslan said in a low voice when everyone was present. His hunch was very accurate. Fennel nodded. He felt a bad premonition too. When everyone was gathered, the whole world shook. Philip frowned and looked outside. The sky had turned dark and gloomy. The others looked at Philip solemnly, waiting for his orders. They knew that the crisis was finally upon them. The people of Mistral Temple rushed back in horror. They did not expect this day to arrive so quickly. “Why has it been brought forward?” Everyone stood in front of Philip in a panic, waiting for his orders. He was the only person they could rely on now. Philip did not speak but observed the changes in the world. It was impossible to stop the changes from happening. Ordinary people huddled in their houses in fear, watching the changes in the world in shock. All communication signals had been disrupted, and only static remained on their TVs. Many people tried to ca
Moreover, many practitioners had been busy with sealing activities recently, so the rest thought this had nothing to do with them. Although they were worried and lamented their weakness in this situation, they thought someone would save them eventually. However, they were wrong. Philip had never thought of saving such practitioners. If they had chosen to join the reinforcement team earlier, Philip would not give up on them easily. However, since these people were only concerned about themselves, Philip would not help them. The practitioners who had joined Philip’s team were now gathered at the villa, observing the world nervously. Philip was grateful for their help during this time. Similarly, they received corresponding rewards for their efforts. Philip would reward them with a pill when they went out for a mission. They earned a lot of money these days. Facing such drastic changes, those with treasures on hand were more unwilling to die. “What should we do? I’m sure
Martha was nervous and grabbed the hem of her husband's clothes, at a loss for what to do. “What’s going on? They've been so busy these days, but the effect is getting worse!” Martha grumbled, unhappy with everyone's efficiency. “Powerful practitioners like them should produce good results in whatever they do, but more and more are appearing. If the location of this villa wasn’t good enough, we’d have been dead already!” Martha read a lot of news during this time and knew that many places had fallen. She was worried that this place would be next. Fortunately, because many practitioners lived nearby and this area belonged to the academy, nothing much happened around here. Other than some screams and shouts, it was quite safe. However, the sky suddenly turned dark today, and they felt the pressure even though they turned on the lights. It was different from a normal night. If they did not turn on the lights while walking on the road now, they would be shrouded in the dark a
It seemed that the spirits wanted to take over human bodies and live again. Of course, Philip had to be prepared for such spooky things. After all, most people believed in ghosts and monsters while growing up, and they were exposed to knowledge about terrifying spirits. These spirits were not only good at scaring people but also harming them! Thus, Philip knew that these spiritual entities were the greatest threat to humans. “You have to take this sachet with you no matter where you go!” The parents of ordinary families quickly educated their kids. To prevent the kids from losing the sachet, they put it in their clothes. At this time, an eight-year-old child tore off the sachet from his clothes in disdain and threw it to the ground. “Who'd believe this bullshit?” This kid was known as a local bully with a bad temper since he was a child. He was unwilling to listen to others. “This sachet has no fragrance at all. It looks like an ugly package. I’m a boy. I won’t carry
The kid had no protection and had no choice but to allow the eerie presence to enter his body. “Ah! Mom, Dad, what is this thing?” The kid screamed as if he had seen something spooky. The couple just stared at their son. They wanted to help, but there was nothing they could do. The kid had been shrouded in a black fog, and they could not even see him. “My son!” The couple sobbed and wanted to save their son, but they were at a loss for what to do. “Let’s find the practitioners. They must have a way to save my son!” The woman shoved her husband hysterically, forcing him to go out and find the practitioners. The man sighed as he looked at the dark sky outside. He took out a flashlight from the drawer and illuminated it outside. The powerful flashlight seemed to have lost its function and could not light up the area at all. In the past, this flashlight could illuminate at least dozens of meters away, which was the reason he bought it. He was really scared now. “I
The couple finally realized what it was like to be blind. As the two walked down the stairs according to their memories and headed in the direction of the academy, a familiar voice came from the right. “Teehee, Mom and Dad, why are you leaving without me?” The couple screamed in unison. The man waved the sachet back and forth in front of him. Suddenly, his right hand hit something, and the sachet in his hand fell to the floor. The next second, he lost his voice. Similar scenes happened in every ordinary family. Those who listened to instructions hid in their rooms without encountering any problems. If there was one disobedient person in a family, things would end up in a massacre. Philip had no time to bother about it. The sachets he made were meant to be salvation for ordinary people. At this moment, the sealed land had fallen. Philip saw a door of the villa slowly open. Maybe the other party chose to open this door because they sensed the presence of the sealing
“I think she’s right. You have no right to despise her for being ugly! If you have the ability to cure the groom’s disease, you can marry into a wealthy family too! You’re a loser for putting her down because of her looks!” Ronan’s sudden interruption surprised the bride. She never thought that someone would speak up for her in this situation. “Enough with this fiasco. Hurry up and end it!” Lazlo frowned and glanced at the people next to him. He had replaced the useless guards earlier. These people were carefully selected experts. The experts quickly flagged Ronan as a troublemaker and wanted to throw him out. “Let’s call off the wedding for the time being. We didn’t think it through carefully. We’ll decide after careful consideration. Please excuse us,” Lazlo said calmly but he was fuming inside. He knew that this was a disgrace to the family. He had never thought a woman could play him out like that. Lazlo glared daggers at Celeste in front of him. 'I wouldn’t have be
By right, everyone should respect Lazlo, but these people simply wanted to humiliate him instead. Lazlo always took advantage of them during their business dealings, so they wanted to teach him a lesson. For the sake of his dignity, Lazlo could not lose his temper either. “Hehe, the bride is coming!” Lazlo gritted his teeth and asked someone to bring the bride out. Everyone looked around eagerly, waiting to see what this legendary woman looked like. The bride wore a veil on her face, and no one could see her appearance clearly. “The bride is bound by the rules of her race, so she’s not allowed to show her face in public, but you can tell from her figure that she's indeed very beautiful. My daughter-in-law is not to be underestimated!” Lazlo laughed. It was the only option he could think of. Some nosy people created a gust of wind that blew the veil away. Very soon, the woman’s ugly face was revealed to the public. Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene. They gulped nervous
“But she’d be very attractive if she covered her face.” Her figure was very good, but her face was scary. Anyone who saw that face would probably be haunted by nightmares. Philip was curious. The woman could cure the groom’s disease, which proved that she had that ability. In that case, why was she in such a hurry to marry? With an ability like that, she could easily survive on her own. “She caught me red-handed peeking at her. Although it was embarrassing, she was very gentle and didn’t say anything. It’s a pity that I can’t deal with that appearance!” Ronan said awkwardly, ashamed at the thought of being caught red-handed. Philip rolled his eyes helplessly. He was no longer in the mood to watch the fun. Staying there was just a waste of time. He would rather leave. He was not interested in the free meal. Suddenly, they smelled a strange fragrance. Ronan frowned and rubbed his nose. The smell made him feel uncomfortable. “Someone is poisoning us,” Philip said calmly.
Lazlo knew that he would be doomed if he fell into Philip's hands. He decided to run away in a panic, but it did not mean he was going to give up. Celeste was his only hope to regain his dignity, and he would never let her off. “Keep a close eye on the situation. It’s best if you can knock Celeste out and bring her to me,” Lazlo ordered his men before he left. Since his men could not do it openly, they had to resort to some underhanded tricks. Lazlo had more than a team of guards under his command. Although the captain of the guards was no match for Philip, it did not mean that Lazlo was out of options. He had to solve this problem at all costs. Philip had no choice but to take Celeste away. Who knew they would encounter such a mess? “I never knew I was so charming that the guy wants me to marry his son,” Celeste said ironically. To think that something like this would happen to her. The people of her race were so valuable that they could not marry just anyone, let alone
The guards laughed. “No way, does he think he can handle us?” Everyone mocked Philip and did not take him seriously. So what if Philip had powerful abilities? They could easily overwhelm him with numbers. Everyone laughed as they surrounded Philip, and Lazlo smiled smugly. He rarely took action in such things. He simply watched the fun to appease his anger. “Just accept your fate. An ordinary man like you can't possibly fight us,” Lazlo taunted Philip, confident that he had nowhere to escape. When Lazlo was about to capture Celeste, he saw someone flying out. He thought his men had taken action and was surprised by their newfound power. Before he could do anything, he heard wails of agony. “Ouch, it hurts!” “This is too much. You broke my leg!” “Why is this man so powerful? He can fight us all by himself!” When Lazlo heard the screams clearly, he scowled darkly. “What's going on? Are my guards defeated?” he said in horror. Lazlo looked over and saw his guards ly
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
