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
However, Philip quickly realized that the man was not trying to harm Conlay but helping him instead. At this moment, Conlay actually started to engulf those white flames. On top of that, the phoenix totem on his body also turned red-white. Philip was relieved and sat down cross-legged again. When he looked at this middle-aged man, Philip was thoughtful. By right, the fire phoenix royal family should be full of experts. However, even though Philip made such a big commotion before, only the Great Preceptor made an appearance. This was quite unusual. Including the scene on the street today, although those princes seemed very interested in the throne, they did not seem to have many trump cards or bargaining chips in their hands. When the middle-aged man finally stopped all movements, Philip walked over and asked, “Are you the emperor of the fire phoenix royal family?” The middle-aged man did not even look back but just nodded. Philip understood instantly. No matter ho
Hearing this voice, instead of being surprised, the middle-aged man seemed as if he had expected it. “First, you harmed your eldest brother, and then your third and fifth younger brothers. Do you know I never confronted you for this?” The middle-aged man’s voice was very even and calm. The second prince was solemn upon hearing that. “I only thought you were clearing the obstacles for your ninth brother, but I overlooked your ambition.” At this time, the Great Preceptor said, “Second Prince, if we make a move now, I can guarantee nothing will go wrong.” The second prince nodded without a word. The Great Preceptor started chanting under his breath. Following his chants, energy spells enveloped the whole cemetery. The cemetery was like a cage, and the red-white flames scurried around. Even with Philip’s level 6S fire element, he could hardly bear the scorching temperature of the flames and had to mobilize his energy to resist the surrounding heat. However, the middle
Philip transformed into a giant, and the energy spells fell on his huge body. The source of life continuously replenished the energy in Philip’s body. When the green source of life made contact with the energy spells, it seemed to neutralize the raging energy. Seeing this scene, both the second prince and the Great Preceptor showed panic on their faces. “How is this possible? My energy spells don’t affect Philip at all.” “How did he neutralize the energy spells?” The Great Preceptor did not know that the source of life was simply a high concentration of energy. The so-called energy spells simply arranged the energy in a certain order, so the logic was the same as a snowman melting under sunlight. The second prince said, “Since you can't control him, order the fire phoenix royal family’s battalion we deployed earlier to raze this place to the ground.” Hearing that, Conlay said coldly, “Second Brother, do you really think you can mobilize the battalion now?” Conlay’s
Conlay’s heart dropped at this scene. He never imagined that his second brother would die right before his eyes one day. Although he had already made up his mind to make a clean break with his second brother and his past, when things really happened in front of him, his heart ached painfully. On the other hand, Philip sighed softly at this scene. Everyone was different, after all. At the last moment, Conlay wanted to give the second prince another chance. On the contrary, the second prince was thinking about how to kill Conlay. Conlay looked at the limp body of the second prince and asked, “Did I make the right decision or not?” Conlay's voice was a little hollow. In the entire fire phoenix royal family, apart from the second prince, he felt no affection for anyone else. “You've already made your choice, haven't you?” Philip said flatly. The supreme warriors of the fire phoenix royal family knelt around Conlay. “You’ve done everything you can, so you don't have to
Therefore, Philip wanted to take advantage of this time to see if he could further improve his flame element. However, he had to make sure he was in peak condition. After all, this purgatory that everyone feared was not that easy to handle. Conlay's life was not in danger earlier because the flame element had been isolated by the emperor of the fire phoenix royal family with his phoenix totem. At this moment, Conlay carried two phoenix totems on his back. That was why Conlay was so calm in the face of adversity, while Philip had to rely on the source of life in that purgatory. Without this source of life, Philip would have died long ago. The advancement of the level of the fire element was something one could only hope for, so how could he give up this opportunity? After preparing himself, Philip slowly walked into purgatory. The moment he stepped in, the red-white flames immediately surged and covered him. The burning pain on his skin penetrated deep into the bone ma
Members of the Wagner family nodded vigorously, and even those who were not participating in the competition were excited. Everyone knew that they had to win, whether for the family or their personal honor. The young man taking part in the competition laughed smugly. As a grown man, how could he lose to a child? It would be too embarrassing if he lost! Defeat never crossed his mind, so he immediately sprang into action when the alarm rang. He launched a fierce attack without further ado, trying to end the fight quickly and show the child his powerful strength. However, when he charged at his opponent at full speed, the child was gone! The kid was nowhere to be found as if he had vanished into thin air. “You’re too slow.” A delicate voice sounded from behind him, and the child appeared in front of him. The guy was sent flying out of the battlefield with a kick before he realized what was going on. According to the rules, the fight would be over once one party died or was sent
Ronan quickly picked his opponent. He was surprised and wondered if Lady Luck was smiling at him or if the draw was rigged, but he actually picked the deep-sea merfolk right away. Although he wanted to teach them a lesson, he had to carry on with the act too. “Haha, this took no effort at all. Our opponent is Ronan!"Although Ronan is strong, we’re fully prepared this time. No matter how powerful he is, he’ll never escape our clutches!” The deep-sea merfolk sounded very confident, smiling brazenly as if certain of their victory. They had sent their strongest fighter this time. They had planned to reserve this person to deal with Philip, but they faced Ronan instead. Their contestants were not fixed in advance. Under unforeseen circumstances, they could choose a substitute. Therefore, they decided to assign this strongest fighter to face Ronan and Philip. This person’s name was Tangy. Tangy knew that he had to face two opponents, but he was not nervous at all. He hoped that h
“That’s enough. You may leave.” Ronan turned around and returned to Philip's side, unwilling to exchange more fake pleasantries with Cameron any longer. In his opinion, such empty talk was meaningless, and he did not want to say another word to that person. Philip smiled at Ronan’s indifference. “If you want to deal with the deep-sea merfolk, you need to make sure you don’t lose. Acting must be done wholeheartedly. Don’t let anyone realize that you’re acting,” Philip said to Ronan earnestly. Rabbit nodded vigorously. No one was better than him in acting. Ronan suddenly felt a little pressure. “Oh no, the pesky flies are here again.” Ronan frowned unhappily as the patriarchs of the families approached them. “I’m sure they're here for our wine!” Ronan did not want to sell the wine to them. Not to mention how much the wine had improved his strength, Ronan was a drinker himself. He would be left with nothing if they bought all his wine. “Ronan, we’re here again!” “You s
“Ronan, I know you’re unhappy with me, but the family is depending on you!” Cameron had to bite the bullet because he could not think of anyone but Ronan who could win the first prize. “Since I promised you, I’ll take part in the competition,” Ronan said calmly. However, Cameron could not help but feel something strange in his words. Ronan had come up with a plan after a discussion with Philip last night. Ronan was not in favor of helping Cameron because their relationship was so bad that it was not necessary for them to work together anymore. However, Philip had a different opinion. He was certain that the Claude family would put all hopes on Ronan, so he wanted Ronan to set them up. Ronan was not concerned about his reputation because he was not a hypocritical and superficial person. Hence, losing the competition meant nothing to Ronan. In that case, Philip did not want to miss this opportunity. Ronan would take part in the competition as agreed and try his best but witho
Of course, Philip knew that Nolly would seek revenge, but he was not worried at all. Philip had given Nolly the method to seek revenge before they left. Beating him in the family competition was a good way to take revenge. Philip knew that Nolly had accepted his suggestion and was probably thinking of a plan to deal with him. Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Nolly patted his chest. “Don’t worry about it. I have a plan. Since they’re so arrogant, they should be ready for it. We were careless and almost fell into their trap!” Nolly was unwilling to admit that he was not as strong as Ronan. In his opinion, he was at a disadvantage because of his carelessness. No one raised any objection. Since their chief had decided, they just had to follow orders. “I have to say that Philip is quite arrogant!” a man who looked more normal said unhappily. It seemed that he had a different opinion about this incident. “Doffy, what are your thoughts?” Nolly asked curiously. Doffy w
Ronan was very pleased with the outcome. Nolly glared at Ronan. He never expected that Ronan would be so difficult to deal with. He had done his best but could not do anything to Ronan. He felt that Ronan was just toying with him without using his full strength at all. “It’s very late. Everyone should go back to bed. I know that the deep-sea merfolk is going to take part in the family competition. In that case, let’s settle this on the battleground. We can place a bet or something at that time. What do you think?” Philip suggested, and Nolly thought he had a point. More importantly, Nolly knew that he definitely could not beat Ronan now. In that case, he should stop for now and find a way to deal with Philip later. Therefore, he pretended to consider Philip’s proposal. “You have a point, so I'll agree. In that case, let's meet again on the battlefield. I look forward to seeing your actual strength!” Nolly waved to his men in panic, signaling everyone to leave with him. His
However, the commotion came from outside the door. It felt as if someone was trying to raze his house to the ground. When he was about to go out for a look, Sadie, the jinx, ran up to him. Seeing her, Cameron felt a bad premonition, and his heart skipped a beat. “Patriarch, the deep-sea merfolk are here, fighting with Philip and Ronan. What should we do? I saw Ronan fighting with them just now, and the battle is very intense. Ronan doesn’t care about us at all. How could he fight in the manor? He’s simply outrageous!” Sadie added fuel to the fire. Cameron thought Philip was fighting, but it turned out to be Ronan. He was a little disappointed. “It’s Ronan?” He rushed out in a panic, afraid that something might happen to Ronan. It would be fine if it was just a simple fight, but they would be in trouble if Ronan was hurt and unable to participate in the competition! Cameron had done so much. He would not allow anything to ruin his plan. Thinking of this, he was very angry. “
Nolly looked at Ronan in puzzlement, wondering if he was right in the head. Nolly was here to kill them, not to reminisce about the past. Why was this guy so affectionate? “What are you doing? Do you think I won't kill you? You’re hanging out with that murderer, which tells me that you’re not a good person either. I won’t let you off!” Nolly scorned, full of killing intent. “Oh!” Ronan hummed obediently, catching Philip off-guard. Philip started coughing. Ronan was quite a handful. “Since they're here, I’ll leave it to you. Make it quick.” Anyway, Philip had set up a barrier. No one would notice even if a big fight broke out, so they had nothing to worry about. Philip would not have bothered to set up a barrier if he had not been afraid of destroying the surroundings. “Of course, my barrier will only protect your mother's territory. I can’t guarantee that other places won’t be destroyed if you take them a little farther away.” Philip’s seemingly innocent reminder stoked R
“Go through that passage and try not to alert anyone. Just get rid of him quietly!” Nolly nodded. Since Sadie was giving him this convenience, he would not make things difficult. He led his people to the house. After getting Philip’s exact location, he just had to go there. Ronan was drinking when he felt that something was wrong. “Philip, I have a feeling that someone is coming for us and wants to kill us! That killing intent is very strong!” Ronan looked around warily. Since drinking Philip’s wine, Ronan’s strength had increased significantly. Philip and Rabbit remained calm as if they had already expected this. “Don’t worry about some troublemakers. I believe they’ll be here soon,” Philip said calmly. He swaggered into the garden and finally decided not to destroy this place after looking at the surroundings. After all, this was where Ronan’s mother used to live, a place of memorial significance for Ronan. He would probably feel bad if this place was destroyed. “I’ll
