“We don't have any good things on hand. Why don’t we pool our money together to buy something valuable for Philip? I think we should get him a beast as a mount!” Twine suggested. He thought it was a very good idea. So far, no one noticed that Philip had a mount, so they decided to give Philip something good after much deliberation. They had more or less decided, but Philip did not know about their good intentions. Philip simply waited for Lyle to open the store while expecting the troublemakers. This problem had to be resolved eventually. There was no point in dragging it out or it might cause more problems. When he was almost bored out of his mind, a large number of people appeared on the street. Everyone was proud and arrogant, obviously looking for trouble. Aslan was excited at the sight of them. These people really showed up. Aslan loved fighting the most. After keeping a low profile for such a long time, he could hardly wait. “Philip, leave these people to me. I ca
Philip teased Rabbit, who scowled. “Don’t worry, I’ll look into this matter at once. I won’t let you down!” Rabbit hopped away without further ado. Philip shook his head at Rabbit's hasty retreat. He had no intention of eating the rabbit but thought it was fun to tease it. The rabbit soon disappeared without a trace as if it were serious about looking into this matter. Philip followed Aslan out of the store. They had not opened the store for business yet, and not many people were gathered at the door. After all, not many people were willing to spend so much money to buy something. They did not even dare to try. Most people simply watched and waited to see who would buy something. Only a few people knew that the old men had bought something from the store, but the news had not spread, so everyone thought only fools would buy from here. The people from the Pill Guild quickly surrounded Philip's store. They looked at Philip fiercely and seemed ready to take action. “As e
Therefore, the claim was valid. Everyone was willing to believe the Pill Guild when they felt their own energy fluctuations. Although Philip was good-looking, they had to be wary if he was a demonic practitioner. After all, no one knew what he might do. “Demonic practitioners should leave our city at once! This is no place for you!” “Demonic practitioners are not allowed to stay among us. Get out of here and go back to your mountains and forests!” Everyone cursed, wanting to drive Philip away. However, since Philip had been identified as a demonic practitioner, no one dared to take action. Demonic practitioners were far stronger than them. The people of the Pill Guild looked excited because their plan had succeeded. In fact, they had no idea if Philip was a so-called demonic practitioner. They just wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate Philip. It was easy to find an excuse to deal with him. Aslan was dumbfounded by these people’s slander. “Wow, you guys are re
Ted believed that he would have no problem dealing with Aslan with his strength. At this time, Aslan had a sudden idea of how to promote the things in their store. “Philip, let me show you how I can promote our products!” Aslan picked up a dagger from the side and waved it around. A dragon formed by the wind appeared in front of everyone. The dragon swept half of the people away, which looked astounding. Ted was shocked by this scene. “What powerful weapon is that? Is it a legendary divine artifact?” Ted's eyes were blazing. He could not wait to get his hands on the weapon. Philip sat on one side. With Aslan’s performance, he did not have to move a muscle. It would be a waste of time to deal with these people. They were simply good at creating hype but were not powerful at all. Aslan easily got rid of them. With the other half of the members left, Aslan wanted to change his weapon. “What weapon should I demonstrate next? Do you guys have anything in mind?” Aslan
Philip stared at those people in exasperation. “Did I allow you to leave?” Philip stretched out his hand and caught the two elders who were trying to leave. They fell in front of Philip before they realized what happened. Philip looked at the two people on the ground with disdain. “Is this all you have? I thought the so-called big guilds were very powerful. Why mess with me when you guys are so weak? I think you should start practicing from scratch again.” After saying that, Philip sneered and grabbed Steve. Steve trembled in Philip’s hand. He never thought that someone could catch him so easily, not to mention that this person was the so-called demonic practitioner who he had just humiliated. As the fourth elder of the guild, Steve was better at managing various administrative issues rather than practicing. Moreover, he was promoted to this position because he was related to the guild leader. He was simply here to back Ted up, but they took the fall instead. He was u
Everyone who left that place showed no vital signs as if something had taken away their lives. Moreover, all of them died horribly as if they had seen something very scary before they died. As a person in pursuit of the heavenly path, Steve had always been interested in the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour and yearned to visit that place. Over the years, however, he never found any traces of the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour no matter how much information he tried to collect. He was so disappointed that he was ready to give up by now. However, his interest was aroused again when he heard about the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour from Philip. “Are you saying you came from the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour? Are you a mysterious powerful being from that place?” Steve asked excitedly. Steve could not care less about being captured in Philip’s hands. He stared at Philip with expectation. If Philip was indeed from the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, he would not mind begging Philip on his knees. It would be
They were at each other’s throats earlier but were on friendly terms the next second. This feeling was indescribable, indeed. “Tell me everything you know about the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. I also want to know what everyone is saying about us behind our backs,” Philip said as he sipped his tea. Steve had no doubts about Philip by now and worshiped him as a god. Someone who could drink that tea and use that mysterious weapon could not be an ordinary person. Such things were valuable to ordinary people like them but nothing to Philip. All the signs proved that Philip was indeed an existence from the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. “Legend has it that the place is elusive. No one knows where it'll appear next. Only a few lucky ones have the chance to enter it, but over the years, no one has ever returned alive! Because of that, no one knows what’s inside."We only know that the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour is very mysterious and should not be underestimated!” Steve told Philip everyt
Steve was excited by Philip’s words. Although Philip was reprimanding him, he revealed some details too. Philip would not give him anything this time because he had just offended Philip and lacked sincerity. Steve believed he could get something if he apologized with more sincerity next time. It was normal for a powerful person to have his pride. A humble being like him would not dare to say a word. “Yes, you’re right, it was my fault. I wouldn’t have disturbed you if I hadn't been deceived by a villain.” Steve was very humble and planned to deal with Camden when he returned. It would be best to expel this guy from the guild. They would not have decided to deal with Philip if Camden had not given them the wrong information. Steve was happy that Philip spared his life. It was best if he remained alive. It would be a blessing if he could ride on Philip’s coattails. “That’s enough. You may leave. Bring me more gifts when you visit me next time, preferably ones that can sat
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
“Are you referring to humans like us or unique races like them?” Philip was surprised that Rabbit sensed something that he did not. Philip stroked Rabbit's round head with satisfaction as a compliment to him. Rabbit wiggled his short tail in pride. He really felt something was wrong, so he hoped Philip would pay attention to it. “I don’t think they're one of us. They're more likely one of the unique races.” Rabbit did not kick up a fuss after he noticed something was wrong but simply spoke to Philip on the side. He knew that these people might go crazy if they found out people were living in their ancestral land. Philip looked at Rabbit solemnly. After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Selma about the discovery. Meanwhile, Selma was still thinking about how to get rid of Ariadna when Philip pulled her aside all of a sudden. Selma looked at Philip shyly with a hint of panic in her eyes. “I need to tell you something. Be mentally prepared for it,” Philip said se
If Philip had not been on guard, he might have been misled by the mist into thinking that it was nothing. Others rushed over, eager to find out what happened. Ronan looked around excitedly. He wanted to judge the situation by the traces left behind, but surprisingly, there was no sign of a battle. He was confused and wondered what had happened. He had been expecting a fierce battle. After all, it was very difficult to subdue such things. However, he saw a scene of peace in front of him. “Philip, what happened? Something feels wrong. There should be something toxic here, but I don’t see anything. Are you too strong or are those things too cunning?” Ronan was very curious and felt that things were more than met the eye. “You’ll find out soon. Anyway, did those guys follow you?” Philip looked back at the restless people mockingly. They were not that strong, but they would never miss any chance to take advantage of others. “Some of them did follow us, but they're not very quick
“On top of that, I can also help to expand your awareness and enhance your mental strength.” Philip persuaded the mist with everything he had, hoping that it would leave with him. He was strong enough to interact with the mist in an equal setting. If the mist refused to give in, Philip would consider beating it into submission. After much deliberation, the mist, who was more like an innocent child, agreed to Philip’s suggestion. Philip felt the excitement expressed by the mist. “I’ll take you into my space now. Don’t resist. You’ll feel that mysterious power in a minute.” He took the mist into his space, and the large expanse of blue mist vanished in an instant. The fierce killing intent in the passage disappeared with it. Philip looked at the disappearing mist in excitement. He found something very good this time. The mist was obviously still in its growing stage, an ignorant little thing at present. The mist would grow under his help into a strong existence. He was glad to
Arachne and the others saw the mist and were frightened. They quickly hid beside the snake people without lurking in the dark anymore. “What’s up with the weird mist?” The spider people brought more people than Selma’s team this time. Everyone was squeezed in this place, making it a little crowded. The snake people looked at them in disdain, shocked that they had the nerve to approach them. “Don’t you see how crowded this place is? Stop squeezing your way inside!” Cavin said with disdain. Although Cavin looked like a timid child who anyone could bully, he was quite manly in a confrontation. Rabbit huffed at them in anger but did not know what to say. Arachne rolled her eyes. “This is obviously the only safe place around. Where should we go if not here? You can leave if you think it’s crowded,” Arachne sneered with disdain. They knew that Philip had entered the danger zone, so they wanted to stay close to keep abreast of his updated situation. However, they overlooked
Whether the fine wine or the delicious beast meat provided by Philip, their strength improved greatly after the meal, which was simply too good to be true. Everyone guessed whether eating such meat on a long-term basis would make their bodies stronger. “Our business will definitely soar if we have such meat on the menu!” Selma marveled solemnly. She knew how attractive the meat was to humans or other races. It was worth looking forward to a meal that could improve one’s strength. Moreover, they could feel their bodies slowly absorbing the meat’s energy without going to waste, and they did not have to go through the effort of absorbing it, which was simply amazing. When Philip and his people left after having their fill, Arachne followed them with her people. Ariadna was so jealous that her thoughts became distorted. If she had not been so stupid back then, she might have gotten the chance to sit with Philip and enjoy the meal too. She lost the chance because she was stupid and
