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
At this moment, Philip had reached the pseudo realm of the other shore, which was equivalent to nine stars in this world! The moment he broke through, he suddenly felt the surrounding energy pouring into him as if a dam had broken. An apocalyptic scene appeared in purgatory! A new place spawned inside his body. Energy gathered there and formed a vortex like a black hole. After he broke through, the flames on his body also turned red-white. The flames had upgraded to a new level too. Only a mighty being could possess a level 7S flame element. After all, to ordinary people, being able to obtain a level 5S flame element was already amazing! A flame element at level 7S was simply surreal. Before Philip could rejoice, he heard the rumble of gunfire. Philip frowned. Although he had expected that Conlay might resort to violence to suppress the other princes, there should not be such a big commotion. Philip promptly walked out of the purgatory cemetery and headed to the
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
