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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe incident back then, and the fire phoenix general also died in my hands. I’m here with the ninth prince today to
seek justice for him…”
“He’s no longer interested in participating in your struggle for imperial power, but someone wants to wipe him out.”
While he spoke, Philip unleashed his aura.
Sometimes, strength was something one could decide not to use, but one must not be without it. Right now, Philip’s
identity was Conlay’s trump card.
Philip’s display of his strength was a deterrent to everyone at this time.
Being able to kill the fire phoenix general proved that his strength was not inferior to the Great Preceptor.
Anyone who wanted to attack Philip and Conlay had to carefully considerthe other faction’s actions. After all, before
Philip and Conlay appeared, the two factions had always maintained a balance. However, it seemed that this
balance was about to be broken.
Finally, Philip said, “Well, don’t the other princes have anything to say to the ninth prince?”
At this moment, the second prince walked up to Conlay and Philip with a smile and said, “Ninth Brother, why don’t
we go to our eldest brother’s place and listen to what he has to say?”
The sixth prince approached them and said, “I think that’s not necessary. I can tell everyone why the fire phoenix
general went to Conlay’s desert oasis this time.”
Before everyone could react, the sixth prince said, “If Second Brother hadn’t contacted the people of the ancient
Heavenly Court and asked them to go to the desert oasis, none of this would have happened.”
Conlay stared at the second prince coldly and said, “Second Brother, is it true? Did you tell the people of the
ancient Heavenly Court to go to my desert oasis?”
The second prince was silent. This was indeed his plan. Including banishing Conlay from the imperial city of the fire
phoenix royal family, it was the second prince who operated everything behind the scenes.

“From now on, as long as I, Conlay Nox, live, I won’t let the fire phoenix royal family rest in peace!”
Suddenly, Conlay’s eyes filled with anger.
If anger could kill, the second prince would be riddled with wounds by now.
The sixth prince spoke again, “Ninth Brother, the fire phoenix royal family is your home, after all. You don’t have to
make the whole fire phoenix royal family your enemy. If you wish, you can come back anytime you want.”
Hearing that, Conlay turned around abruptly.
The seventh prince followed his cue and said, “Everyone knows what happened back then was a misunderstanding,
so if you really want to come back now, no one will stop you. Even if someone does, I’ll be the first person to stop
them.”
Nothing attracted Conlay more than this. He had intended to return to the fire phoenix royal family. Now, this
remark was his greatest motivation.
Finally, the Great Preceptor could not bear it any longer.
He pointed at Conlay and said coldly, “How can a rebel like you reenter the fire phoenix royal family? If you really
want to come back, you have to suffer in purgatory to atone for your crime.”
