Chapter 3572

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 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.”
