The fiery Phoenix accompanied by the calls of a phoenix flew out from the blaze and smoke.
Like a divine bird descending upon the Mortal Realm after rebirth, it clearly reflected in the eyes of all the guests present, and even everyone in the Capital City of Heavenly Origin.
"Phoenix! It’s a real Phoenix! A Phoenix charging out from Lily Phoenix’s courtyard!"
Soone exclaid loudly, looking incredulously at the fiery bird erging from the blaze, as if doubting they were witnessing a real rebirth Phoenix.
As that call of the Phoenix echoed, the birds around the capital seed to be summoned, flying up, chirping, and heading straight towards the Fire Phoenix.
The Fire Phoenix led the hundreds of birds, and with a whoosh, ca towards where Scarlett Jennings was, and then kept circling over her head, as if in a parade.
"Hundreds of birds flock to the Phoenix! This is the real descent of the true Phoenix!"
Compared to the earlier slight anomaly shown by Edith Phoenix, the scene in front is what can truly be called a miracle.
How fortunate they are to witness such a sacred scene firsthand.
Soone among the guests knelt down first, and the next mont, all the guests whooshed to the ground, kowtowing reverently towards the Fire Phoenix circling in the air, as well as in Scarlett Jennings’ direction.
Unlike previous exclamations of surprise and admiration for Edith Phoenix, everyone’s reverence for Lily Phoenix is truly heartfelt and sincere.
Even many of the servants in the Phoenix Family subconsciously knelt down towards Lily Phoenix, eyes revealing piety.
Hudson Phoenix and Lady Phoenix were already stunned by the scene before them.
And Edith Phoenix, looking at the crowd of people kneeling in the courtyard with jealousy and hatred in her eyes that almost transford into another Fire Phoenix.
She wanted to question, why could Lily Phoenix’s blessing summon a real Fire Phoenix while she had only a little blaze and anomaly?
What is this?
Unfortunately, no matter how she clamored, the fla within her body no longer responded.
Edith could only turn her gaze back to Lily Phoenix.
Unwilling to watch her being considered the Heavenly Maiden by everyone, she couldn’t help but step forward and shrill,
"Sorcery! She’s using sorcery! This is not the real Phoenix appearing! Everyone, don’t be fooled by her!"
She didn’t believe Lily Phoenix could summon the Phoenix.
The real Phoenix should have been with her...
Edith’s irrational shouting didn’t win support but rather made everyone look at her like she was a fool, a madwoman.
Unable to bear these gazes, Edith decisively turned to Lily Phoenix, sharply questioning her,
"It’s you who are playing tricks! What are you really?! Are you a Mystical Creature?! Speak!"
Scarlett Jennings, at this point, calmly turned to look at her, her eyes devoid of emotion, as if she was looking not at her but at the thing hidden within her body.
Even though she hadn’t forced that thing to appear earlier, at least its aura was completely exposed.
Now, it’s ti to pull it out of Edith’s body.
Scarlett Jennings watched Edith and with a gentle command,
"Susan, go."
With that command, the Fire Phoenix that had been circling overhead suddenly charged towards Edith.
The hundreds of birds scattered, and the guests, startled by the abrupt change, fled in all directions.
And Edith, was dumbfounded.
The oppressive power of the Phoenix’s fla almost engulfed her, and the fla within Edith trembled, seeing the fla ready to consu it and Edith entirely, that fla couldn’t sit still anymore.
Suddenly it drilled out of Edith’s body and quickly flew far away.
Scarlett Jennings looked at the fla containing Phoenix Power and slightly raised her eyebrows, but well-prepared, she wouldn’t let it escape.
Talisman Array activated, several Spirit Light Chains flew from all directions, instantly locking the fla tightly.
The Phoenix form transford by Susan seized the opportunity, flew, and with a mouth, swallowed that fla.
The combat ended too abruptly.
Even Scarlett Jennings was sowhat caught off guard.
...The contingency plans she had prepared for a few days hadn’t even been used yet.
And it’s already been swallowed?
More importantly, that fla didn’t look like a real Phoenix.
But if not a Phoenix, why did the fla contain familiar Phoenix Power?
Though doubtful, Scarlett Jennings waved to let Susan leave first.
Since she caught that thing, she could ask clearly later.
Right now, she had to resolve the chaos at the scene first.
With Scarlett Jennings’ wave, Susan transford into a Fire Phoenix and soon disappeared with the fla into the sky.
The guests planning to flee from the Phoenix Family didn’t even see clearly what happened, only knowing the Fire Phoenix suddenly charged toward Edith and then suddenly vanished.
As for the fla flying out of Edith’s body, in front of the surrounding Phoenix flas, it was directly ignored by everyone.
But as the person involved, Edith saw her Phoenix Lord being swallowed by the Phoenix.
Edith couldn’t believe what she saw, couldn’t believe that the Phoenix shielding her was defeated just like that.
Realizing, she again glared venomously at "Lily Phoenix."
"It’s you! You used sorcery to kill my Phoenix! You’re fake! Everyone, don’t believe her! I’m the true Heavenly Maiden blessed by the Phoenix!
It’s her! She used sorcery to steal my identity and killed my Phoenix! I’m indeed the one chosen by the Phoenix!!"
Edith’s frenzied yelling not only failed to arouse suspicion about Lily Phoenix among people around but made them silently step further away from her.
Even Lady Phoenix and Hudson Phoenix, who have always cherished her like their own daughter, were only standing far away, looking complicatedly at this daughter.
Ultimately she’s their beloved daughter over the years, Lady Phoenix felt unwilling to see her daughter going mad and wanted to step forward.
But Hudson Phoenix held her back.
Unlike others, they saw the fla fly out of Edith’s body firsthand.
But that fla was almost instantly swallowed by the Phoenix summoned by Lily Phoenix.
No matter the truth of her words, the result is —
She lost.
Regardless of whether Lily Phoenix’s Fire Phoenix was sorcery, she did summon the Phoenix.
Even... It’s possible she’s indeed the true Heavenly Maiden recognized by the Phoenix from the Phoenix Family...
Thinking of this possibility, Hudson Phoenix felt his once cold heart suddenly igniting again.
He was about to step forward to say sothing.
At this mont, a commotion arose outside the Phoenix Family’s gate.
The next second, a group of armored guards filed in, quickly sorting the crowd into two sides, and then, a familiar and solemn procession erged from the path split by the guards.
Accompanied by a tall, dark figure walking slowly in, a deep and hoarse voice followed,
"Who is the true Heavenly Maiden, I have the final say."
All guests, seeing the procession clearly, once again knelt down en masse, this ti including Hudson Phoenix and his wife, and Edith Phoenix also knelt towards the newcor.
But in the crowd, only Scarlett Jennings stood alone in place.
Rather than focus on the identity of the person coming, she imdiately noticed the familiar and glaring Golden Light on the newcor.
The Golden Light Bracelet on the wrist seed to sense sothing, lit up, and swayed towards the person.
Scarlett Jennings raised her hand gently gripping the position of the Golden Light Bracelet, then watched the approaching figure, lightly smiling —
Samuel Chalrs, you ca.
