Dark Phoenix Prince - Chapter 154

Alu of course followed them.

They went to one of the buildings in the headquarters.

When they got there, they found a group of women dressed as servants and several women dressed in aristocrats.

“They should be the aristocrats and servants of the Blue Moon Empire.” Chelsea whispered in Alu’s ear.

“The Imperial Princess should be inside.” She added.

“Ahhh… I will definitely kill you.”

Angry shouts suddenly resounded from within the building.

Before they could be surprised, they saw a young man without clothes and messy hair jump from inside the building.

The young man’s face looked pale. Even though there were no wounds on his body, but his aura looked very weak.

Moreover, on his body, there were three scars that had been caused by arrows.

“Darien.” Said Chelsea and others.

They were shocked when they saw Darien suddenly appear, and they became even more shocked when they heard what Darien said after that.

After he appeared, Darien suddenly jumped in front of them. His gaze was currently fixed on Alu who was in front.

“That must be you, right? You’re the one who sent the Assassin to injure me.” Darien said hoarsely.

“….”

There were a lot of people there, and they all immediately fell silent when they heard Darien’s words.

In Alu’s heart couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Darien, on what basis are you accusing our holy son?” Chelsea speaking.

“Shut up you traitor bitch.” Darien immediately scolded Chelsea right after Chelsea spoke.

He continued to stare at Alu with reddened eyes.

“You little bastard, don’t you dare admit your evil deeds?” He shouted angrily.

“….” Alu

The commotion caused by Darien caused more and more people to come to the place. Even Beck, Ervins, Audrey, and Camelia showed up at the place.

But they didn’t do anything, they were just watching on the side.

Beck, who previously helped Darien, also didn’t do anything. Darien’s cultivation fell by two levels, he naturally no longer had any interest in helping Darien.

As he stared at the messy Darien like crazy, he showed a slight look of disgust.

“Sorry senior brother, this is our first meeting. Why would I want to hurt senior brother? Besides, I have never hurt other people who didn’t attack me.” Alu finally spoke in response to Darien who kept shouting and accusing him.

Seeing Darien’s expression as he spoke, Alu couldn’t help but wonder. “Why does this guy look so sure?” He thought.

He had already thought about the various scenes when he met Darien.

Of course, he wouldn’t be surprised if Darien suddenly suspected him. But, what Darien was doing right now didn’t seem like he was just suspicious. He seemed to know that he was the mastermind behind the accident that had happened to him.

“So you are the holy son of the fire temple who is said to have the most noble attitude.” A woman with dark blue hair and wearing a light blue dress suddenly walked out of the building.

It was the woman who spoke.

Her arrival immediately caught everyone’s attention. Even though her aura and beauty were still far below that of Camelia, her demeanor was still very extraordinary for a woman. She looks like a queen who rules a country. Arrogant and full of momentum.

Ever since she appeared, her gaze had only been on Alu. She didn’t even glance at Darien.

As she looked at Alu, she didn’t look like she was affected by Alu’s good looks. On the contrary, there was only hatred in her eyes as she stared at Alu.

Alu can guess the woman’s identity.

But the woman’s way of speaking made him feel uncomfortable.

“What do you mean, miss?” Still, he could only continue to act innocent and confused.

“Hmph.” The woman snorted. “You still don’t admit to your evil deeds.”

People were getting more and more curious about what that woman meant.

Of course, Alu’s supporters couldn’t stand still.

Chelsea speaking. “Princess Lorenn, be careful with your words. Are you accusing our holy son of sending an Assassin to injure your fiancé. What evidence do you have?”

“That’s right. Little brother Alu has always been with us all this time.” Angela added.

Of course, it was Alu who ordered her to say that.

“Hmph. Evidence? I really don’t have any evidence right now!” Lorenn snorted.

She looked at Alu with cold eyes. “But the assassin who attacked Darien said he/she was paid by a young man named Alu.” She says.

(Alea of course hides her identity while on a mission, so her gender is unknown.

“….” Alu

Now he finally understood why Darien and Lorenn were accusing him of such expressions.

“The fairy and the damn woman.” He cursed silently.

It was clear that it was Rena who ordered Alea to say his name when she attacked Darien.

Of course, just because she said his name when she attacked Darien, that didn’t mean he could be found guilty. After all, that couldn’t even be considered evidence.

How could an Assassin mention the name of the person who paid for it.

But still, people started looking at him with strange expressions.

Even Camelia, who was always calm, knitted her brows as she stared at him.

Beck couldn’t keep quiet any more after hearing Lorenn’s words.

He was not interested in defending Darien, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t corner Alu again. When the opportunity arises, he will naturally try to push Alu down.

“Evil, really evil.” He opened his mouth with an expression as if he was a defender of truth.

“A holy son sent an Assassin to harm fellow disciples, how can our sect allow such a person to become a holy son. Isn’t this tantamount to inviting disaster into the sect.” He says.

He looked at Alu as if Alu was an unforgivable criminal.

In fact, even Chelsea started looking at Alu with a doubtful expression. After all, she supported Alu for some motive. She is not not a fanatical supporter. Seeing that something was wrong, she could naturally be suspicious too.

Finally, Angela, who had Alu’s orders stepped forward to respond.

She answered Beck’s words according to a script that Alu had provided via voice transmission. “Beck, what nonsense are you saying. Are those words spoken by a holy son. How can you accuse our holy son just for the words of an Assassin’s nonsense.”

Her eyes started to narrow as she stared at Beck. “And why are you so aggressive. Or maybe you are the mastermind behind all this.”

She spoke as if she had just solved the mystery behind the accident that happened to Darien.

Seeing Angela talking, Chelsea could no longer be silent.

Whether Alu was really the mastermind, it didn’t matter to her.

She then continued on Angela’s words.

“That’s right. How could an assassin name the person who paid for it. Someone must have ordered him. Why do I suddenly think you’re the one who ordered the assassin?”

“You did that to slander our holy son!”

After hearing Angela and Chelsea’s words, people’s gazes finally moved toward Beck. They looked at Beck with suspicion.

Beck staggered back as he felt the stares of the people.

His hands trembled as he pointed at Alu.

Luckily, just as he didn’t know how to react, Darien suddenly shouted once again.

“No, I’m sure you’re the one.” He shouted towards Alu.

“You little bastard, you must want to get rid of me to secure your position. Don’t think you can do it, I’ll kill you right now.”

He screamed like crazy.

To everyone’s surprise, he suddenly jumped at Alu after he shouted.

He let go of his aura, but when people saw his aura, they immediately showed expressions of pity.

That was because Darien’s body was currently only emitting the aura of the third layer of Nirvana. Apart from that, his aura was also quite weak. It was not an aura that geniuses usually possessed.

Seeing Darien’s current aura, Alu couldn’t help but admire Alea.

Whooss…

The wind suddenly blew right after Darien released his aura.

When people looked at Darien one more time, they found an elegant woman in a green robe standing in front of Darien.

“Stop.” The woman spoke in a soft yet firm voice.

A spiritual aura emitted from her body.

Even though Darien didn’t want to stop, he couldn’t do anything under the pressure of that woman’s aura.

In fact, even Lorenn was trying to move, but under that woman’s aura, she couldn’t do anything about it.

To everyone’s surprise, that woman’s aura was actually already at the sixth layer of Nirvana.

She is of course Camelia.

“Hiss…” The crowd hissed.

“When did she break through to the sixth layer of Nirvana?” They wondered.

“Maybe just now.” Someone answered.

“But her aura is already very stable. She doesn’t look like she just broke through.”

“Hmmp.” The wind temple disciple snorted. “Miss Camelia has only suppressed her cultivation all this time for some reason. If she wants to break through, she can do it very easily.”

“…”

Alu stared at the woman with narrowed eyes. Compared to the last time, he felt that woman had become much deeper and mysterious.

Camelia stared at Darien and Lorenn who couldn’t do anything under her aura.

“This matter is over here unless you two can get concrete evidence. Before that, you shouldn’t accuse anyone.” She says.

“No, I want the elders to investigate this. I’m sure he was the mastermind.” Shouted Darien.

“The elders won’t interfere in this matter as long as it doesn’t involve a Earthly Nirvana stage expert.” Camelia answered.

Darien wanted to scream one more time, but Camelia’s cold voice made him shut his mouth.

“Enough.” Said Camelia.

“All of you can go now.” She then spoke to the people watching on the side.

As people started to leave, Audrey appeared by her side. “What do you think? Are you suspicious of him?”

Audrey looked at Alu who was walking away as she spoke.

Camelia didn’t answer right away, but looked at Alu with narrowed eyes. “He is suspicious, indeed.”

“I always felt he was hiding his true nature.” She added.

“Should we investigate?” Audrey asked once again.

“No need. It doesn’t matter what he looks like as long as he’s not our enemy. Even the masters don’t care about that.”
