Ted’s thinking was quite simple. He felt that Samael could easily control these people. With Samael’s help, he could establish his own guild and make a name for himself. After all, he was the only one who could survive the torture of Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, a gift from the heavenly path. Other elders and guild members followed slowly, more cautious after the earlier incident. They walked carefully and soon reached their destination. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the words ‘Heavenly Path’. They had finally arrived after so long. “My efforts finally paid off. I’m finally here!” Steve was most excited to figure out this place. He had been looking forward to this for ages, so his excitement was to be expected. However, he had a bad premonition that this place was unsafe. He felt something was amiss, like he would encounter various dangers anytime and anywhere. “There’s something wrong with this place. I feel like it’s full of danger. I don’t feel like stay
The man was very handsome and elegant. “Are you the heavenly path’s guardian? You’re so handsome,” Carol approached the man and said without hesitation. Samael was surprised to see only one person this time. He subconsciously looked outside and saw many people there. He decided not to do anything to Carol for the time being but planned to trick everyone inside instead. Although his strength had been greatly reduced, he could still kill within Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. However, he could not touch anyone if they were outside the door. He would be helpless if they left before he could take action. Carol spoke to Samael earnestly with a hint of expectation, planning to have a good chat with the other party. However, Samael lost all interest in talking to her. He felt that she was very annoying. “What about your friends? Why don’t you tell them to come in?” Samael looked at Carol expectantly, waiting for her to invite them inside. The elders entered with the others excite
Steve was horrified by this scene. He staggered back and fell to the floor, rolling out of the range of Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Since he was out of range, he was fortunate not to be implicated, and Samael could do nothing about it. “What’s going on? Why are they not moving?” Steve was baffled and could not figure out what was going on, but he was frightened. Ted was excited to see this. He knew his plan had succeeded. It was just a matter of practice. He knew what he should do next. Steve quickly returned to his senses. He scrambled up and ran outside. He could not wait to find Philip. Samael devoured these people frantically and ignored Steve, who was too weak for his attention. It would do nothing for him even if he absorbed Steve. Ted was in a state of excitement and did not notice what was going on. Steve stumbled out. He was very scared and wanted to solve this problem quickly. “What’s going on? This is petrifying!” Steve was miserable and felt sorry for himse
Steve yearned to interact more with Philip, but given his status and position, he knew it was good enough to befriend Philip. It was wishful thinking to go beyond that. “Your injuries have recovered. Tell me what happened.” Philip made a pot of tea and sat in front of Steve. Philip savored his tea carefully but had no intention of asking Steve to drink some no matter how much he craved it. Steve looked at Philip helplessly but quickly told him what he knew.“That’s what happened. I might have died if I hadn’t been lucky enough to escape in time. That guy is a force to be reckoned with.” Steve trembled, obviously still scared. Philip knew what happened, but he was surprised to hear that Samael was strong enough to attack others even though he had been restrained. “You’re quite capable of finding your way to Heavenly Path’s Carrefour on your own,” Philip said with a half-hearted smile as if mocking Steve. Steve knelt in front of Philip nervously, at a loss for what to do.
Steve wanted to take this opportunity to join Philip, but Philip seemed reluctant to take him in. “Bring Ted to me and I’ll take care of him for you, but you need to do something for me.” Philip knew he could not rebuild Heavenly Path's Carrefour single-handedly. He needed help. Steve nodded. He knew what he should do. “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to get it done. This was my mistake. I should make amends.” Philip smiled at Steve’s awareness. “I want to look at your treasure vault. Is that okay? Don’t worry, I’ll just take a look without doing anything. I’m not interested in your treasures anyway.” Steve was a little worried, but he quickly calmed down. There was nothing to worry about. “You have a point. I don’t think we have anything worth your attention.” Steve quickly agreed to Philip's request and sneaked into the treasure vault with Philip. Philip brought Aloysius with him too. He needed Aloysius to identify if there was anything they needed. Steve often vis
Aloysius took the things nervously and felt that they should not be doing this. Philip rolled his eyes upon hearing that. He did not think there was anything wrong in doing this. On the contrary, he thought he was too kind. “What’s wrong with this? I gave him a pill.” Aloysius nodded. Philip had a point. They had used a pill in exchange for this. The pill that Steve had taken was indeed worth the treasures here. “This guild has been taken over by the demonic path. Since they’ll suffer from now on, we might as well take these things rather than leave them for others.” Philip searched as he walked around. In the meantime, Ted returned to the guild. He did not forget that Steve had escaped, and he wanted to lure the other guild members into becoming Samael’s nourishment. He was afraid that Steve would return to the guild before him and expose this incident, making it difficult for Ted to take action by then.… “Look, the first elder is back. We can hear from him all about
Steve had sneaked back from Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, so no one knew about it. He was waiting anxiously for Philip at the entrance to the treasure vault. Coincidentally, Ted wanted to take all the treasures from the vault too. Since this place would be abandoned, he might as well keep all the treasures for himself. In his opinion, it was easy to take these treasures. He had convinced all the members. He simply had to take the treasures and send these people to Samael’s doorstep. He believed Samael would reward him handsomely after that. Ted looked forward to that outcome and wished he could gain Samael's appreciation immediately. At this time, Ted saw Steve lingering at the door. They exchanged a glance, shocked to see each other. “Why are you here? What’s going on?” Ted asked warily, wondering what was going on. At the same time, he was nervous, afraid that Steve would expose his secrets. Steve stared at Ted with fear and caution, at a loss for what to do. “Stay away fr
“This guy has fallen into the demonic path. I’m dead if you refuse to save me. I can only survive if you save me. Otherwise, I’m dead for sure!” Ted sneered when he saw Philip and overheard their conversation. “I’m surprised to hear that this guy is one of yours now. I thought you were nothing worth mentioning, but it seems that I’m mistaken.” After falling into the demonic path, Ted could feel the increase in his strength, so he thought dealing with Philip was a piece of cake. While Ted was confident about dealing with Philip, the latter made a move. Philip lunged forward at an incredible speed and grabbed Ted in his hand. Ted was trampled under Philip’s feet before he knew what was going on. Philip looked down at him condescendingly. Ted was simply dreaming if he thought he could compete with Philip. “What are you thinking? Do you really think you can deal with me with your strength?” Philip laughed at Ted mockingly, his disdain obvious. Ted frowned and struggled a bit,
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
Rabbit was sunbathing in the yard and had no idea what was going on. He had a feeling that someone was setting him up, but he was powerless to resist. “Rabbit.” Philip calmly summoned Rabbit with no indication of his thoughts. Rabbit approached hesitantly and stared at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “Since you know that the Hexa Guild has declared war on us, we can't just sit and wait for things to happen. We have to show them how powerful we are.” Rabbit quickly understood Philip’s meaning. He wanted Rabbit to fight. Rabbit sighed and agreed. After everything Philip had done for him, it was time for Rabbit to take the stage. Philip wanted Rabbit to deal with the other party and do it in a humiliating way to show them that they were beneath a rabbit. “Okay, I know what I should do. Just sit and watch.” Everyone in Petal City knew that Rabbit was Philip's pet, so his actions represented everything. All the guilds kept an eye on the situation as Rabbit w
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
