Philip had long noticed this. If the people of the floating city did not fight back, the fate that awaited them would be annihilation. Philip’s plan now was to help the floating city get rid of the fire phoenix royal family’s pursuit in a different form. Conlay dashed out at this time. He walked to Philip's side and said with a smile, “Philip, it's all thanks to you this time. If not, our counterattack wouldn’t have been so successful.” Philip did not smile but asked Conlay seriously, “What's your plan for the next step? Don’t tell me you don’t know that the fire phoenix royal family will be launching a full-scale attack on you next.” Conlay sighed. He had led the floating city to deal with the fire phoenix royal family for so long. How could he not know what the fire phoenix royal family was thinking? “The truth is they just want to kill me. After all, I’m still the ninth prince of the fire phoenix royal family. “Although I’ve defected, some people just want to pull the
Philip’s and Conlay's outrageous behavior had certainly caught the attention of the fire phoenix royal family. Although this method was conspicuous, to Philip and Conlay's surprise, not only did the fire phoenix royal family not behave differently, but they even opened the door and allowed them to enter the fire phoenix royal family's imperial city. All the members of the fire phoenix royal family simply looked at Philip and Conlay. Along the way, Philip was poised to fight and did not expect this situation at all. Entering the imperial city again and looking at the banners of the fire phoenix royal family, Conlay sighed. It had been a long time since he was last back in the imperial city. At first, he planned to make a big fuss with Philip here, but seeing the familiar streets, buildings, and scenery, he could no longer arouse such emotions. This was his home, and he was the ninth prince. The streets were full of people from the fire phoenix royal family’s battalion. J
Conlay nodded. “Now, the imperial city is almost completely controlled by the people of the Great Preceptor. They hold no grudges against us, and we’ve even done them a small favor.” Hearing that, Philip merely nodded. However, he did not believe that the fire phoenix general’s faction would let him and Conlay go. Amid the cheering crowd, Philip heard them shouting, “Phoenix Tribulation, Phoenix Tribulation!” A hint of reminiscence crossed Conlay’s eyes. He said to Philip, “I forgot all about the Phoenix Tribulation.” Seeing Philip's bewilderment, Conlay explained to Philip what the Phoenix Tribulation meant. It was a special rite circulated in the fire phoenix royal family a long time ago. Every member of the fire phoenix royal family, or rather, a young adult under the age of 20, must go through this stage before they could officially evolve into members of the fire phoenix royal family. The phoenix totem would appear on their bodies only during this time. “Afte
Conlay said, “Everything will not start until after the Phoenix Tribulation, so we probably need to wait for a day or so.” Hearing that, Philip nodded before he suddenly remembered the matter of the Multidew Herb. “By the way, is there any place in the imperial city that sells special herbs?” Hearing Philip's question, Conlay asked in wonder, “Didn't you go to Blossoms Valley earlier? What couldn’t you find there? Why would you want to buy herbs in the imperial city of the fire phoenix royal family?” Philip sighed and told Conlay about what happened in Blossoms Valley. Conlay was shocked. He never expected such a thing to happen in the territory of the fire phoenix royal family. When Philip was about to buy some herbs, he saw a fight at the entrance of the imperial city. It was the fire phoenix royal family’s battalion. Philip looked carefully and realized that they were people of the fire phoenix general who left and had returned. The Great Preceptor’s people were bl
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly flashed in the Great Preceptor’s hand, and it soared into the sky. The sky rumbled. A cloud of fire enveloped the imperial city of the fire phoenix royal family. Seeing this scene, Philip secretly speculated about the Great Preceptor’s strength. Judging from the situation and his methods, the Great Preceptor should have reached the peak of nine stars. “What other proof do you need? Isn’t it proof enough that the murderer is now in the imperial city of the fire phoenix royal family? Do you need me to capture the murderer, Great Preceptor?” the seventh prince said at this moment. Compared to the sixth prince's elegance, he was more frivolous. Only the eighth prince remained silent, but he tightly held his spear in his hand. The soldiers of the fire phoenix royal family behind him watched his movements closely. At his command, they would rush into the imperial city of the fire phoenix royal family without hesitation.
Conlay turned to the second prince who spoke to him and said, “I was framed by a villain back then and had to leave the imperial city of the fire phoenix royal family to live in a quiet corner of the desert oasis and keep myself away from worldly affairs.” Then, Conlay turned around abruptly, looked at the sixth prince and the others, and said, “But not long ago, the fire phoenix general actually led his troops to the desert oasis to kill me. So you tell me, should I have killed the fire phoenix general?” Hearing this, no one in the imperial city spoke. It was well known within the fire phoenix royal family that Conlay was driven out of the imperial city in a scheme. Even those living in the imperial city were well aware of this. Seeing that Conlay had entered his role, Philip walked to Conlay's side and said, “I was with the ninth prince during the incident back then, and the fire phoenix general also died in my hands. “I’m here with the ninth prince today to seek justice
Purgatory! Conlay's heart sank. Purgatory was the fire phoenix royal family's final judgment on treason. Once a person entered purgatory, he was as good as dead. Conlay fell silent. The Great Preceptor said coldly, “Ninth Prince, since you can't make up your mind, why don't you let me help you?” As he spoke, his hand moved slightly. The fire cloud in the sky began to move. The scorching temperature shrouded the imperial city of the fire phoenix royal family. “Please enter purgatory, Ninth Prince.” The Great Preceptor suddenly shouted, and the fire cloud in the sky produced a strong suction force at this time, trying to pull Conlay into the air. At the Great Preceptor’s sudden attack, Philip also made a move. A strong flame element appeared in Philip's hands, and level 6S flames spread all over Philip's arms in an instant. Philip grabbed Conlay’s shoulders as his feet left the ground. Philip threw out a flame chimera at the fire cloud in the sky. The flame ch
To Philip’s surprise, the sixth and second princes approached him not long after Conlay entered the cemetery. Seeing the expressions on their faces, Philip knew that they were trying to win him over. The sixth prince was the first to speak. “I think there must have been a big misunderstanding when you fought against the fire phoenix general earlier, but seeing that my ninth brother has someone like you by his side, as his elder brother, I feel relieved.” Philip said nothing. The sixth prince's opening remark was not interesting. The sixth prince glanced at the second prince and continued, “But with your talent, don’t you think it’s a waste to stay in that desert oasis?” Philip understood the sixth prince's meaning very well. He wanted to arouse Conlay's ambition to come back and fight for the throne. The second prince spoke at this time, “Conlay is back to atone for his crime. You haven't given him an explanation about the fire phoenix general yet, but you’re already tryi
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
