Chapter 3359
The First Heir
At this time, Ayana Wisteria slumped to the floor sadly, and people from other groups whispered,
âThere, 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!â
âIs that so?â
âBut 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?â
That person continued, âEvery 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.â
âWhat savages!â
âWill their family members agree to such brutality?â
The man shook his head and said, âThose 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.â
After that, a bout of curses rained on the Moon Worship Creed.
âAlas, these kids are really pitiful, going through such suffering at a young age.â
Not far away, the people of the White Marsh royal family took care of the bodies. After Ayana calmed
down, she put away Leroyâs clothes and made up her mind to ask her father to find Leroyâs 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, âYou seem to have
encountered some danger.â
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, âYour sudden appearance nearly scared me to deathâ¦â
The Bamboo Swordsman chuckled and said, âBefore I left, I left nine remnant souls in this world. Youâre
lucky enough to have seen me once.â
The Bamboo Swordsman stepped forward, checked Philipâs condition, and said, âThis kid has
extraordinary luck Heâll definitely grow a lot after such an ordeal.â
Hiram chatted with the Bamboo Swordsman before resting, waiting for Philip to wake up.
After about half a day, the glow on Philipâs body finally died down. His body was like white jade, and his
skin was crystal clear.
Hiram said in amazement, âWhoa! Iâd have taken more stone fluid if Iâd known earlier.â
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.
âThese are the things you have obtained by virtue of your strength. I wonât take any of it.â
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.
âThese things are not very useful to me. Just take them.â
The few items Philip took are the secret manual to Leroyâs 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, âIâll never forget your kindness and generosity!â
After checking his body to make sure that he was alright, the two called out the Bamboo Swordsman.
âBamboo Shoot asked us to bring you a message. He wants to know why youâve been refusing to see
him for so long.â
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, âDuring that battle, it was due to my
incompetence that Bamboo Shoot was almost destroyed.â
The two looked at each other in surprise.
