Chapter 2972 Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's Spirit

Davis appeared before a scarlet pearl that seemed to be unmoving, but it occasionally released a ray of light, a sign that Patriarch Killian Zenflame seemed to be still trying to overpower his way out.

'Has he lost his mind? The Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic is a High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Artifact. To break it open is impossible even for me. On the other hand, to have it use up all its energy would take even more time...'

Davis felt that Patriarch Killian Zenflame at least needed to maintain these attacks at the same rate for a week or two to completely expend its energy, at least allowing him to be expelled from it. However, would the freed artifact spirit allow it? Not to mention the air inside was devoid of heaven and earth energy, only allowing for one to maintain sustenance by using pills.

Therefore, Patriarch Killian Zenflame would run out of energy even before he came face to face with him.

That said, Davis didn't know what to do either.

Going inside would mean that the connection with the messaging talisman could be severed, not to mention he could also get trapped if the artifact spirit didn't let him out. On the other hand, if he went inside with his soul body, then he might not be able to properly torment Patriarch Killian Zenflame as the other party might still have something up his sleeves.

On the other hand, if he brought out Patriarch Killian Zenflame, he might start destroying the inner palace, which he didn't want to see as he failed to see the need to sacrifice it anymore.

'However, if I could bring the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's Artifact Spirit under control...'

Davis thought.

He touched the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic with his bare hand, relaying his intent through Enigmatic Heart Laws. His intent to converse peacefully seeped through his palms and encased the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic.

Soon enough, there was a response as the artifact spirit manifested before him.

It seemed to be a female spirit, clad in a white-crimson robe and sporting stylish crimson hair adorned with phoenix ornaments. Her curvy, phoenix eyes were also good to look at, but those eyes were further squinted.

"What do you want?"

She seemed wary at the very least, causing Davis to smirk.

"Are you no longer under his control?"

The artifact spirit shook her head.

"That's good." Davis nodded, "I sensed that you hadn't taken any movements back then to save him, so I'll spare your life. From now on, your master is s.h.i.+rley. Do you understand?"

"What? You have no right to command me."

The artifact spirit's tone was angered.

"I am s.h.i.+rley Davis, the fourth inheritor of the Fire Phoenix Clan."

Suddenly, a firm voice resounded from the messaging talisman, "Whether you choose to believe me or not is none of my concern, but if you don't heed my words now, then you will be erased along with the other higher-ups of the Fire Phoenix Clan."

"I have heard about you. Master Hirona and Master Sierra also said to listen to you and that you're this person's wife, so I'll obey..."

"Good." s.h.i.+rley's voice resounded, "Obey my husband."

"Yes"

Davis's gaze flickered as he saw the artifact spirit reluctantly answer.

It went that easy?

'Well, it's better if I don't need to use my or Fallen Heaven's death energy...'

Davis thought before opening his mouth.

"I believe you're able to send Patriarch Killian Zenflame out?"

"Yes, I can. Patriarch Killian Zenflame is in the master platform. Originally, he could come out by himself, but since he hadn't gained full control of the artifact, he couldn't do so. I can send you to the master platform and send you out without a problem."

"Perfect. I a.s.sume messaging talismans also work in the master platform?"

"Yes, that place isn't sealed and isn't devoid of heaven and earth energy."

"Oh"

Davis nodded. It was no wonder that b.a.s.t.a.r.d kept whipping out attack after attack. It turns out that he absorbed energy from the atmosphere without a problem. If that's the case, then he figured that b.a.s.t.a.r.d was baiting him into entering the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic, probably having something up his sleeves to corner him in the master platform.

If not

'Then she's baiting me into the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic...'

Davis stared at the beautiful artifact spirit.

The Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic was a regal, magnificent, and pa.s.sive artifact that wasn't aggressive at all. He wanted to believe that its spirit would be the same, that she wouldn't be playing tricks, but when he saw the actions of the Fire Phoenix Clan so far, he couldn't fully bring himself to believe her.

Nonetheless, this artifact spirit was sealed, which meant it probably disobeyed Patriarch Killian Zenflame or that Ancestor Reselius, not to mention the people who created this artifact spirit, should be either Hirona or Sierra. They were both good acquaintances of s.h.i.+rley, so he pursed his lips, thinking for two or three seconds before nodding his head.

"Send me inside."

Davis no longer resisted.

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

He abruptly appeared inside the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic, causing the person inside to become alarmed as they instantly gained distance.

"It's you!"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame roared as though he couldn't believe it, his expression flaring with rage but suddenly displaying a wide smile.

"Don't tell me this is your main body?"

"Yes."

"Fool. You can no longer escape from here!"

Davis hadn't even finished saying before Patriarch Killian Zenflame grinned, his energy abruptly soaring as he conjoined his hands, interlocking his fingers. His expression turned crazed as he laughed.

"Ahaha! With this, you're back in the chamber of cessation!"

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

Davis abruptly disappeared from Patriarch Killian Zenflame's view, causing him to joyfully look at the chamber of cessation where he had previously trapped Davis.

*Paah!~*

However, a resounding slap sent him flying as he spun in mid-air, spraying blood from his mouth before he fell to the ground.

"You-!"

He quickly sat up, looking at Davis still remaining here in the master chamber. He couldn't help but glance to look at the chamber of cessation and saw that he really wasn't there, even after he bit himself and circulated his energy into breaking the state he was in, which most likely meant that this wasn't an illusion cast on him.

"I forgot to say, but the artifact spirit has been freed, and you are no longer in control of the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic."

Davis spoke in an unamused tone, but that caused Patriarch Killian Zenflame's expression to sink.

"What!? How can it- it it's those two inheritor b.i.t.c.hes who betrayed the clan, isn't it!?"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame roared. He saw Hirona and Sierra being captured by the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, but it turned out that it was all a lie to capture him.

"Traitors! Not only did they not leave and put the Fire Phoenix Clan's future in jeopardy, but they also chose to surrender to our enemies. Those two b.i.t.c.hes need to be violated for their crimes!"

Davis narrowed his brows, "I thought you were more calculative, but it seems like you're losing your mind. Being trapped here has its toll, huh?"

"Losing my mind?" Patriarch Killian Zenflame harrumphed, "What do you know about the great history of my Fire Phoenix Clan? They might've started it, but it is us, my grandfather, who allowed the Fire Phoenix Clan to become the strongest amongst the Phoenix Clans. Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic, seal him inside the chamber of cessation if you truly belong to the Fire Phoenix Clan. Otherwise, you're a d.a.m.ned traitor whose name would be tarnished for centuries to come."

""

A few moments later, Davis couldn't help but smile.

The artifact spirit didn't seem to be agreeable to Patriarch Killian Zenflame's words.

"Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic! As the Patriarch, I command you to seal him!"

Trembling ever so lightly, Patriarch Zenflame roared again.

This time, the artifact spirit finally appeared between them, glancing at Davis before she turned to look at Patriarch Killian Zenflame.
