Even if he died fighting today, he had to seek justice for the fishermen. The little girl and her family fled in the direction of the Imperial City, running and stumbling along the way, looking miserable. Tom had recovered some strength during this time and could fight the merfolk. Although at a disadvantage, Tom did his best. The fishing village was not too far from the Imperial City so the little girl and her family soon arrived. After verifying their identities, the guards let them in. Although they looked strangely flustered, the guards could not stop people with normal identities from going in. The Imperial City was not as quiet as the small fishing village. It was a time when the nightlife was the busiest, and Lyle and Aslan were out having fun. After learning that Philip would go to the world of the gods soon, they cherished their life here, fearing that they would not be enjoying this sense of superiority before long. “To be honest, I look forward to that place, b
This man named Tom was probably related to Marina, and their enemies were after him. Tom asked this little girl to pass on the message, hoping that someone could save him. Philip asked the little girl about Tom’s location. “Where is Tom now? We’re practitioners. Maybe we can save him.” The little girl was very happy to hear that and pointed out a direction. Philip gave the little girl an address and told her to wait there. “Since you have nowhere to go, stay there and wait for us to bring Tom back.” After saying that, Philip and the others disappeared from the spot, as terrifying as ghosts. The family was still in shock. They looked at the address Philip handed over and went to the place while asking for directions along the way. Meanwhile, Marina was uneasy and felt that something bad was about to happen. Philip and the others quickly appeared in the small fishing village. The small fishing village was in shambles and the scent of blood could be smelled from a long d
Tom's expression changed upon hearing Aslan’s remarks. No one was allowed to humiliate his young lady like this, but on the account that they saved his life, Tom forced himself to endure it. “Please take me to my lady as soon as possible. We’re not from this world. Our bodies will be affected if we stay here any longer!” Tom said anxiously, his sincerity apparent. Philip nodded and signaled the others. They led Tom back to their house. Marina was wandering outside because she was uneasy. Although she did not know what happened, she felt uncomfortable. “Is Tom in trouble?” Marina paced back and forth worriedly. She wanted to find Tom but had no idea where to go in this big world. At this time, Tom saw Marina pacing back and forth in the garden. Tom rushed up and knelt in front of her excitedly. “My lady, I failed to protect you and caused you to be stranded alone outside for such a long time.” Tom was so excited to see Marina again that tears welled up in his eyes. H
Marina had obviously taken a turn for the worse. The scales on her body were dull, not at all shiny as before. Marina looked at her dull scales dejectedly, knowing very well that she was in trouble now. Things would be tricky if she could not leave in time. “When can we set off?” Marina asked instead of answering Philip’s question. If Philip could open the portal in time, she would not have to stay in this place anymore. “Tomorrow.” Although Philip was very curious about the world of the gods, he knew it was not a place normal people could visit at random. Their lives would be at risk if anything happened. Thinking of this, Philip decided to make the final selection. He would only bring Lyle and Aslan with him for now. At this time, Foxy appeared in front of Philip. As someone not involved in this incident, Foxy wanted to tag along too. “Don’t leave me behind. I want to see what the world of the gods looks like.” Foxy kept flicking her ears, which looked cute and
“Tom, what brings you here at this hour?” Philip said curiously. This guy was not on his side so this was clearly not a social visit. There must be a reason for this visit. “I want to ask for a favor. Can you take the little girl away with you? I want to take her to the world of the gods but my lady refused!” Tom was a forthright person and spoke his mind. Philip was surprised to hear this. He always thought that these creatures were heartless but Tom was different. “My lady said that only gods can live in the world of practitioners so I can’t bring the little girl with me.” Hearing that, Philip smiled brightly. He always wanted to learn more about this so-called world of the gods, and a tour guide just turned up at his doorstep. “I want to help you, but I don't know anything about that place. Why don't you tell me about the situation in that world first? If there’s no big problem, I’ll help you,” Philip said, trying to pry for information. Tom was excited upon hearing th
Philip smiled at the little girl’s words. This took no effort at all. He was still wondering how to speak to her but she took the initiative to approach him instead. “Why do you want to become stronger?” Philip smiled calmly as if he could read her thoughts at a glance. “You may think that I want to become stronger because of Tom, but that's not the case. I want to become stronger to avenge my family. Since the monsters come from the so-called world of the gods, I want to follow you to that world and kill them all!” The little girl's eyes were full of anger. She could hardly control her emotions when she thought of these creatures killing her family, relatives, and friends. “Tom is a nice guy, but I don’t care about such things. I’m more concerned about avenging my family!” Philip nodded with satisfaction at the little girl’s declaration. The little girl knew what she wanted and did not disappoint him. “In that case, take these pills and eat them. You have to bear with it
“Are you planning to bring her along?” Marina pointed at Katie standing behind Philip in surprise. In Marina's opinion, a powerful practitioner like Philip should not have any dealings with these ordinary women. “Yes, I’ll bring Katie with me and practice with her. Do you have any objections?” Marina shook her head. She did not have any objection but felt pity for Philip. “Forget it, you’ll regret your decision to bring such a burden with you when you reach the world of the gods.” After saying this, Marina fell silent as if she was unhappy with Philip’s stupid decision. Philip simply took out the stone from his pocket and poured some energy into it. “Get ready to leave.” As more energy was infused, a portal soon appeared, and everyone was excited to see the door. Marina dashed inside without hesitation and disappeared behind the door. Philip and the others walked in one after another. After a short wave of dizziness, Philip and others saw the world in front of the
“I finally realized why we couldn’t breathe normally in that strange sea area. It’s because our strength isn’t there yet, not because there’s a problem with it!” Lyle shared with everyone his discovery via voice transmission. Everyone ignored his jokes. They looked around curiously, trying to see what was going on. They stopped when they came across some mermaids in a miserable state. The mermaids were seriously injured with their scales ripped off. Tom rushed over in a panic, wondering what was going on. “Lady Marina is back. She escaped the merfolk's pursuit and came back!” someone shouted excitedly after seeing Marina. An elderly man rushed out from a corner. “Tom, take Lady Marina and leave. This place isn’t safe anymore. Many of our people have left. The merfolk will come back again if we don’t leave now. We can't fight them!” The old man was obviously seriously injured. After speaking so anxiously, he coughed blood and looked very miserable. Marina shed tears
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
