After a moment, a tiny worn

Before Phoebe could react, the Sky Serpent swallowed the venomous parasite in one gulp, its eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

Since The Great Warlock has come knocking on our door, I won’t let him make the trip in vain, Phoebe thought.
The Sky Serpent happily rubbed against Phoebe’sband, as if saying. “Mommy is the best!”
Raylan was surprised by how affectionate it was. “It’s really attached to you, he remarked.
Usually, spiritual creatures like this were cautious around human metaphysics practitioners.
Phoebe chuckled “It probably sees me as family”

Otherwise, if the s
Sky Serpent had hatched earlier and bonded with its mother first, it would not have been so close and dependent on her
Yes, Phoebe did not feel fortunate about it.
If given the choice, Phoebe would have wished for the Sky Serpent’s mother to survive instead.
Raylan immediately understood–Phoebe must have been the first person the Sky Serpent saw after hatching.
This girl’s luck is truly extraordinary, he thought to himself.
Raylan said, “It seems fare has already bound the two of you together. That’s a good thing”
Suddenly, he sensed something and frowned. “The Great Warlock is heading toward
Onar
During their previous duel, Kaylan had already locked onto The Great Warlock’s auıra
Hence, even from a considerable distance, Raylan could feel The Great Warlock drawing closer and closer in this direction.
Raylan then asked, “Is he coming after you for revenge?”
Raylan could not easily engage in full–scale battles with opponents of his level due to the city’s restraints and the natural laws governing this place.
The more energy he expended, the tighter the city’s grip on him became.
Though the city was lifeless, it gave Raylan an unsettling feeling, as though it were trying to consume him.
In the end, it was either Raylan refined this city, or the city devoured him completely
Raylan thought. Fortunately, Phoelse has found a way for me to refine the city. But if The Great Warlock has come seeking trouble with her…
He owed Phoebe a huge favor. Standing by and doing nothing was not an
an option.
Looks like I’ll have to step in, he thought
Kaylan caught the flicker of something unreadable in Phoebe’s gaze.
“Who said he’s here for revenge? I don’t have any bad blood with him. Who knows! We might even be able to work together” Phoebe chuckled.
Kaylan froze. “Work together!”
He shook his head with amusement. “You little trickster. So you planned this all along. Alright then, I guess I can stay out of this one.”
Phoebe chuckled, “Oh no, you won’t. You’re my senior, aren’t you? If I get into trouble, it’s your job to step in. But I have a question–Is The Great Warlock stronger than ine?
From the way Raylan spoke, it sounded like he thought she e could not take him on alone
Haylan’s tone remained steasly but resolute. “This strength surpasses yours by a significant margin.
“You’ve only just entered the Ascendance Realm, while he’s alreasly approaching its peak. Moreover, The Great Warlock has lived for over two centuries–his wealdi of hunte experience alone puts you at a disadvantage. So tell ine, do you really think you stand a chance?”

Now that she had finally reached Ascendance Realm, she could use a whole new arsenal of techniques
Raylan studied her expression. Phoebe did not seem arrogant–just assured. “Tid like to see that for myself someday,” he said.
Phoebe grinned. “We can spar sometime. Then you’ll see firsthand.”
It would be the perfect chance for her to assess Raylan’s true strength.
Phoebe noticed something when she mentioned Raylan’s name in front of The Great Warlock, the latter visibly tensed, looking both annoyed and
That told Phoebe everything she needed to know–Raylan was way stronger than The Great Warlock
Raylan smirked. “Not until I’ve completed ritually refining this city. Otherwise, using too much energy could backfire on me
Phoebe remembered Percival’s warning in one of his letters, where he had described the city as a cage and advised her to stay away if she could
Clearly, there was something strange about Orlar.
Phoebe had felt uneasy the moment she arrived, but her gut told her the issue was not with the city itself.
Either way, once Raylan had fully refined the city, those concerns should fade.
Phoebe said, “Then I’ll tell you the secret technique now, Raylan. If you finish the refinement quickly, maybe we can go to Solara City together”
Phoebe could not help but wonder how Howard would react if she brought Raylan back to Solara City. The thought made her a bit excited
Raylan’s eyes lit up with anticipation. “Sounds good. I’d love to go with you.
Phoebe beckoned Raylan closer, and as he tilted his head, she leaned in and whispered the secret technique into his ear.
Kaylan’s ability to comprehend was exceptional, and with his centuries of experience, he grasped the core of the technique after hearing it just
DULE.
However, he still needed to meditate on it before attempting to use it.
“I’m going back to my room to meditate. I’ll leave the rest to you,” Raylan said
He paused for a moment, then added, “If The Great Warlock causes you any trouble, just call my name, and Ill come to help.”
Raylan needed to immerse himself in studying the secret technique, so he would not notice what was happening in Oriar.
However, if anyone called out to him, he would sense it immediately.
Phoebe nodded. “Ainght”
No one else could perform the ritual; it was a
I; it was a responsibility only Raylan could beard
Raylan could bear due to his deep connection with Oriar.
Phoebe could not offer any help.
If she did, it could lead to unforeseen complications and cause Raylan trouble instead.

Plipele replied, “Just now Raylan put you to sleep temporarily so we could deal with the venomous parasite. The venomous parasite you won’t be bothered by it again, nor will there be any further danger”
Cyril was relieved. “That’s great! I knew I could count on you.”

As expected. Hughie and Angela were walking restlessly around the yard.
When they saw Phoebe and Cyril, both of them showed signs of nervousness. How is it?” they asked.
Cyril smiled. The venomous parasite has been successfully removed.”
Phoebe had said that it was successful, and Cyril could also feel it himself—his mind was finally free from the oppressive danger.
Hughie and Angela were overjoyed. That’s wonderful they exclaimed.
Phoebe was indeed much more reliable than Lydia
They both thanked Phoebe profusely and then suggested Phoebe take a look around the mine.
Hughie and Angela even advised Phoebe to take the Energy Stone if she came across it arid bring it with her.
They could tell that the Energy Stone would be useful for horoscope masters.
Hughie thought to himself. That despicable old man must have been after the Energy Stone, which is why he used Lydia to scheme against Cyril!
As a businessman, Hughie quickly understood the situation.
Hughie and Angela were deeply grateful to Phoebe and wanted her to search for the Energy Stone.
Phoebe thought about it and did not decline.
If the Energy Stone ended up in the hands of an ordinary person, it would be like a child holding a gold brick–too dangerous
Phoebe thought that if she could find it, she would either keep it for herself or feed it to the Sky Serpent.
It would also give her a chance to irritate Howard–killing two birds with one stone.
Afterward, Phoebe told Cyril and his family to return to Solara City, explaining that she still had some matters to another day.
The three of them were understanding and booked a flight for the afternoon
After they left, Phoebe sat cross–legged in the yard, meditating for the rest of the afternoon.
By evening, she suddenly opened her eyes and turned to the gate.
The Great Warlock had arrived.
