"Keith, Keith!"
Lady Phoenix, after her initial shock, seed to sense so ominous premonition. Forgetting the dignity of a noblewoman, she stumbled and rushed into the room.
When she saw the person curled up on the ground like a shrimp, with blood staining the floor beneath him, Lady Phoenix’s eyes nearly burst. She couldn’t hold it in any longer and let out a piercing scream,
"Ahhhh! Keith!!!"
...
Keith Phoenix was ruined.
Although his life was spared, he beca a complete wreck.
And the mastermind behind it all, Autumn, disappeared without a trace after her attack, leaving only an eerie, cold whisper in everyone’s ears on that day,
"An eye for an eye. Keith Phoenix, in the days to co, I want you to live mocked and humiliated just like . Even until you die, I will keep watching you."
Once the words were spoken, Autumn’s resentful energy dispersed, yet the Heavenly Dao delayed in delivering punishnt.
Lady Phoenix and Hudson Phoenix at this mont had already forgotten their other son who had been hungry for two days. Compared to that, the fact that their eldest son’s life was destroyed drove them to madness.
Yet they couldn’t catch Autumn and could only direct their hatred towards Lily Phoenix.
If it weren’t for her last words, that female ghost wouldn’t have shown such ruthlessness to Keith Phoenix.
If she hadn’t stopped the Immortal Master from destroying the ghost, Keith wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Both of them wished they could tear "Lily Phoenix" apart.
Facing the fury of the Phoenix family couple, Scarlett Jennings, the so-called "Lily Phoenix," said,
"In five days, it will be the coming-of-age ceremony. The opportunity for your beloved daughter to beco queen is right before you. Are you sure you want to spread a joke about the entire family at such a critical mont and let all your efforts go to waste?"
With one sentence, the furious Phoenix couple fell silent.
As for later, Keith and Jordan Phoenix, while enduring great anguish, learned that their parents chose to pretend nothing had happened for Edith’s sake. For the first ti, the two brothers resented the existence of this "sister," but that is a story for another ti.
anwhile, after watching the commotion with Keith Phoenix, Scarlett Jennings was still negotiating with Alexander Gibson.
"This Eight Drigrams Plate, consider it borrowed. Just for a month."
Alexander Gibson didn’t expect to make this trip and not succeed, only to have his sect’s Magic Artifact coveted. He imdiately refused sternly,
"No way! This is my sect’s Magic Artifact! It exists as long as I do! Not even for a day, let alone a month!"
Scarlett Jennings then slashed the ti, "Half a month then."
"No!"
"Ten days!"
"No!"
"Seven days, no less."
"Not even for an hour! Give it back!"
"Seven days, three hundred taels, and I guarantee it won’t be damaged."
"...Deal."
It wasn’t that he insisted on lending the sect’s Magic Artifact, mainly because, for so reason, once the artifact was in Scarlett Jennings’s hands, it wouldn’t leave...
Using the fifty taels obtained from Mada Liao as a deposit, they agreed he would co to the Phoenix residence in seven days to retrieve the item. Satisfied, Scarlett Jennings took the Eight Drigrams Plate back to her courtyard.
After Alexander Gibson left, Lily Phoenix reappeared, hovering beside Scarlett Jennings. Perhaps because her obsession had lessened, the whole ghost appeared more lively.
She looked curiously at the Eight Drigrams Plate Scarlett Jennings was playing with,
"Scarlett, what are you borrowing this for? Are there other ghosts to capture in this residence?"
Scarlett Jennings didn’t answer until she returned to her courtyard. She closed the door and then placed the Eight Drigrams Plate on the table, instructing,
"Co out."
Lily Phoenix watched curiously and saw a familiar ghostly figure slowly erge from the Eight Drigrams Plate—it was Autumn, who had previously possessed Keith Phoenix and severed his lineage!
"You! When did you get trapped inside?!"
Lily Phoenix exclaid in surprise.
Autumn only looked at Scarlett Jennings.
To be precise, after completing her revenge on Keith Phoenix, she discovered Scarlett Jennings had quietly drawn a rune with spiritual power on the back of the Eight Drigrams Plate to restrain its mana, and Autumn took the opportunity to dive into the artifact and be taken away by her.
Primarily, she also didn’t know where else she could go.
Though she didn’t understand why this person would have a ghost identical to her original form as a Ghost ssenger.
But since she could have a Ghost ssenger, perhaps she could accept another like her.
Lily Phoenix, realizing it was because of her, noticed Scarlett Jennings was not surprised by Autumn’s hiding and finally understood,
"So you spent three hundred taels on purpose to borrow this Magic Treasure specifically for her?"
Autumn again looked at Scarlett Jennings, her eyes brightening slightly.
Three hundred taels—she couldn’t even earn that much money when she was alive.
Scarlett Jennings glanced at her and then at Lily Phoenix, rely stating,
"Not just for her, she’s just a bonus."
Scarlett Jennings insisted on bringing back this Eight Drigrams Plate because of the other aura hidden within it.
She sensed it the mont she first touched the Magic Artifact.
Though uncertain, at this mont, with no one else around, Scarlett Jennings didn’t bother to hide it.
Imitating Alexander Gibson’s earlier movents, she swiftly changed the spell in her hand, modifying the incantation simultaneously,
"Heavenly and Earthly Peace, Heaven and Earth’s Essence... I now summon, Four True Spirits, open!"
Unlike the previous ti, when the Magic Plate powerfully dispelled an evil spirit, this ti it reopened the Magic Plate.
According to Scarlett Jennings’s understanding of such artifacts, they also have the function of trapping Wicked Phantoms.
As for using magic, once one is familiar, they can generally understand all.
Sure enough, as Scarlett Jennings’s spell concluded, the hexagram spun quickly, and then a spiritual light gently erged.
From that light’s split space, a faintly familiar aura emanated.
As Scarlett Jennings tapped the Magic Plate with her finger, that aura seed to sense the signal and suddenly flew out from the spiritual light.
A small fla soared out from the Magic Plate, circled once in the air, rapidly transforming into a mini Fire Phoenix, then rushed towards Scarlett Jennings,
"Sister!"
A familiar, tender, and clinging voice ca from the Fire Phoenix’s mouth, accompanied by a weak Phoenix’s Call—it was Susan!
Scarlett Jennings hadn’t anticipated that Susan’s consciousness, upon arriving in this ti-space, didn’t reincarnate like hers but instead was trapped in soone else’s Magic Artifact in a soul form!
No, to be precise, she wasn’t trapped but had hidden herself there.
Seeing how Alexander Gibson had easily lent out the artifact, it was clear that he was unaware that his Magic Artifact housed a Phoenix Divine Soul consciousness.
But this way, Scarlett Jennings didn’t have to work hard to locate Susan. She only needed to et up with Samuel Chalrs and then find the Five-Colored to borrow his Divine Soul, and their task this trip would be complete.
As for finding the Five-Colored, Scarlett Jennings already had so clues in her heart.
On the other side, though Susan’s appearance caused a slight commotion, the Phoenix Divine Soul’s aura was too significant to ignore.
At this mont, in Edith Phoenix’s courtyard, confirming no one was around, a fla entwined with a red spiritual light flew out from her body.
The fla seed to sense sothing amiss, flying anxiously in the air, and vaguely, a voice could be heard, filled with slight panic,
"True Phoenix Aura, how is there another True Phoenix Aura?! Is it possible they found ?!"
What should she do?
If the Phoenix Clan discovered what she had done, she would die!
