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
“There’s this place called the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. I don’t think you have heard of it before. Anyone who can survive there is the chosen successor of the heavenly path. “Every year, the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour will appear in a different location, taking people who have the chance to enter that place. They can only return alive once they're identified as successors. “Even if they don't return, they can thrive inside.” Steve explained smugly. This was the result of his investigation over the years. He expended a lot of effort to find this information and was quite certain that it was true. Becoming the successor to the heavenly path was everyone’s dream come true. Who would not want to take charge of the heavenly path that could dominate everything? “Some people were not strong enough to withstand the power of the heavenly path and were killed in the process. Countless corpses will be transported out every year, and the sight was horrendous. “More importantly, the se
Steve was unlikely to lie about this. Moreover, he had been severely humiliated earlier, so he had no reason to give up pursuit. Based on Steve’s character and temper, he should have gone all out to join forces with other guilds to seek revenge. However, reality proved otherwise. His actions spoke a million words. Although Steve was useless in practice, Ted had to give credit to his brain. “What should we do next? We've offended him quite badly this time. If we don’t prepare generous gifts to show our remorse, he’ll never forgive us.” Ted did not know what to do. He was a failure when it came to interpersonal relationships. “What else can we do? Kill Camden and Dwight and send their heads to Philip as an apology. We need to offer the treasures we've collected too!” Steve decided to go all out. After all, he had collected a lot of good things over the years. It was less embarrassing to offer these things, and they might catch Philip's eye. Ted scowled. He had collected man
Rusty smacked the table after saying that, ending the discussion. Seeing this scene, Ted waved his hand. “Hey, I don’t mean that. I want to tell you that I recently learned a secret…” Ted excitedly told Rusty about the secret he learned from Steve. Ted was all fired up at the thought of becoming a candidate for the heavenly path. The two quickly discussed it seriously. Rusty longed for it too. After all, no one would be uninterested in the so-called Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Philip had no idea that the matter would turn out this way. He simply wanted to bluff Steve. That guy seemed silly and easy to deceive. Soon, Steve prepared a lot of treasures and went to Philip’s store again. He wanted to try his best to please Philip. These were the treasures that he obtained from various places with great difficulty over half his life. He felt the pinch at the thought of giving them away. Lyle saw Steve approaching with things in his hands from a distance and was surprised
Lyle knew that Steve’s sudden change of attitude was due to their strength. They would have been in deep trouble if they were just ordinary people. Therefore, Lyle did not take Steve seriously. He simply sighed and watched as Steve walked away. “This person is annoying and pathetic. There’s nothing wrong with pursuing strength, but his problem is being too arrogant and domineering.” Steve quickly found Philip. He knelt in front of him with a thud and a heartbroken expression on his face. Philip was puzzled by this scene and was weirded out by Steve’s dramatic gesture. However, he simply took a sip of tea and stared at Steve indifferently without a word. “Everything was my fault, so I sincerely want to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me for what I did. Please accept these gifts as my apology!” Steve offered the gifts he prepared. He had given all his prized possessions to Philip. It would be heartbreaking if Philip refused to forgive him. “I see your sincerity.”
In a nutshell, Nimbus Mountain was an extremely dangerous place not accessible to ordinary practitioners. However, Philip was different. As the heavenly path’s successor, maybe he could go down the mountain to explore. Steve could take this opportunity to learn something about the foot of Nimbus Mountain. “Nimbus Mountain is a terrifying place that no one can reach. It’s rumored to contain various treasures, similar to the legendary Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. However, the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour is not open all the time. Unlucky people might end up dead after jumping off the cliff. “Since you’re connected to the heavenly path, maybe you can enter it?” Over the lengthy chat, Philip learned a lot about Nimbus Mountain and was curious about it. Since there was no way to jump off the cliff, maybe he could use a beast mount to fly down. Philip was excited at this idea. He finally found a clue to the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. He had to take a look no matter what. Even if the
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
