At this time, Ayana Wisteria slumped to the floor sadly, and people from other groups whispered, “There, that
woman is the third princess of the White Marsh royal family. She and the holy son of the Moon Worship Creed are
childhood sweethearts. They were engaged to be married!”
“Is that so?”
“But why did someone say that the Moon Worship Creed is a cult just now? And what has it got to do with the White
Marsh royal family?”
That person continued, “Every year, the Moon Worship Creed selects newborns from the information database and
trains them. At a certain age, those kids will be put together to kill each other, and the last one who survives will
have the chance to become the holy son.”
“What savages!”
“Will their family members agree to such brutality?”
The man shook his head and said, “Those who agree will be given compensation. I have a distant relative who
disagreed, which ended up in the deaths of the couple while their kid was taken away.”

“Alas, these kids are really pitiful, going through such suffering at a young age.”
Not far away, the people of the White Marsh royal family took care of the bodies. After Ayana calmed down, she put
away Leroy’s clothes and made up her mind to ask her father to find Leroy’s killer and tear him into pieces when
she returned.
The commander of the White Marsh royal family was a holy-tier existence, and Ayana did not think there were
stronger existences in this world besides the nine royal families.
At this time, Hiram carried Philip and found an unopened secret room. They hid inside.
Just when Hiram breathed a sigh of relief, the voice of an old man next to him startled him.
It was none other than the Bamboo Swordsman, who stroked his beard and said, “You seem to have encountered
some danger.”
Hiram had seen the remnant soul of the Bamboo Swordsman in other secret rooms earlier and recognized him
immediately.
He patted his chest and said, “Your sudden appearance nearly scared me to death…”
The Bamboo Swordsman chuckled and said, “Before I left, I left nine remnant souls in this world. You’re lucky
enough to have seen me once.”
The Bamboo Swordsman stepped forward, checked Philip‘s condition, and said, “This kid has extraordinary luck
He’ll definitely grow a lot after such an ordeal.”
Hiram chatted with the Bamboo Swordsman before resting, waiting for Philip to wake up.
After about half a day, the glow on Philip’s body finally died down. His body was like white jade, and his skin was
crystal clear.
Hiram said in amazement, “Whoa! I’d have taken more stone fluid if I’d known earlier.”
Philip woke up after his eyelids twitched a few times.
Hiram asked him if he remembered what happened. Philip said that he only remembered what happened after he
went berserk due to the moonlight.
Hiram described the events in detail, and Philip felt some lingering fear. If not for the power of his bloodline, he
would probably be dead by now. Then, Hiram took out all the space rings he collected earlier and handed them
over to Philip.

Philip smiled and shook his head. After breaking the restriction of several space rings and taking a few items, he
gave all the space rings to Hiram.
“These things are not very useful to me. Just take them.”
The few items Philip took are the secret manual to Leroy’s body practice, the Nine Lunar Technique, a human skin
mask that could change various appearances in the space ring of a red crescent member, a pile of precious
metals, and several communicators belonging to the White Marsh royal family. These items were enough to support
the practice of a small faction.
Hiram said gratefully, “I’ll never forget your kindness and generosity!”
After checking his body to make sure that he was alright, the two called out the Bamboo Swordsman.
“Bamboo Shoot asked us to bring you a message. He wants to know why you’ve been refusing to see him for so
long.”
The Bamboo Swordsman was startled. He did not expect to hear this.
After a moment of silence, he found a place to sit down and said, “During that battle, it was due to my
incompetence that Bamboo Shoot was almost destroyed.”
The two looked at each other in surprise.
