The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: The Brutal and Absurd Keith Phoenix

Scarlett Jennings originally came to see the so-called expert invited by Hudson Phoenix.

After all, in such a time and space filled with Spiritual Energy, even a common Master would likely possess remarkable Spiritual Power.

Yet at this moment, as the two brushed past each other, the person merely glanced at her before quickly retracting his gaze and walking away.

Lily Phoenix, hiding behind Scarlett Jennings, watched the person leave. Her initial nervousness and fear transformed into bewilderment, and she couldn’t help but ask,

"Scarlett, he can’t see me. Is he a fake master?"

Thinking about how the Family Head of the Phoenix Family always invited fake masters, Lily suddenly felt that the Phoenix Family might not be as formidable as it seemed.

Scarlett Jennings only replied,

"He didn’t fail to see you; it’s just that I have temporarily contracted with a Ghost Messenger, and I’ve deliberately concealed your aura and Resentful Energy."

Though if he was truly powerful, he would sense something amiss even with the Ghost Energy hidden.

It seems this person might be a genuine master but not an exceptionally skilled Master.

But considering the palace is preparing to appoint new positions soon, seeking a notable figure openly only to be rumored that the Phoenix Estate harbors evil spirits would undoubtedly affect Edith Phoenix.

After all, if truly protected by the Phoenix, how could evil easily infiltrate the estate?

In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Master had swiftly moved in a certain direction, making those unaware think he was theatrically fleeing.

Yet, as Scarlett Jennings watched the direction he hurried towards, she thought for a moment and decided to follow.

She had known beforehand that this estate was filled with unrest, not just a single source of Resentful Energy.

Originally, she wouldn’t meddle if not provoked by the other party.

But thinking about the Phoenix Power that protects Edith Phoenix, Scarlett Jennings wanted to see how chaotic this estate could become.

Seeing Scarlett Jennings turn and follow the Immortal Master, Lady Phoenix and her entourage were initially stunned but quickly followed.

Their chase led them to a courtyard not far from the South Courtyard.

Seeing where the Immortal Master stood at the courtyard entrance, Lady Phoenix felt faint. How could it be here?

If there were evil spirits, it should surely be Lily Phoenix.

Why did the Immortal Master head straight for... Keith Phoenix’s courtyard?!

Keith Phoenix, the eldest legitimate son of the Phoenix Family’s main branch, had reportedly caught a cold these past days and was recuperating in his courtyard. Therefore, although Scarlett Jennings had caused quite a stir these past two days, she had yet to meet this supposedly somewhat brutal eldest son.

As Lily Phoenix approached the courtyard, she shrank back in fear.

If Jordan Phoenix’s torment made her uncomfortable, then this older brother, she feared from the moment she met him.

And truthfully, his methods were far scarier than Jordan’s.

During her first month back, learning the rules of the household, Lady Phoenix rarely praised her for having learned some rules, leading Lily to boldly express her wish to accompany Lady Phoenix and Edith Phoenix to the temple for blessings.

Lady Phoenix agreed at the time, but Edith Phoenix was unhappy.

Thus, mid-way, the carriage Lily was riding broke down.

Keith Phoenix offered to stay and wait with her until it was repaired.

Lily was even grateful at the time, thinking she had misjudged him.

Yet when recalling those events, she still shivers.

Soon after Lady Phoenix and Edith Phoenix’s caravan departed, a group of hooligans spontaneously surrounded her, their gazes and words indecently insulting.

Keith Phoenix stood aside, watching her curl in fear with a broken leg.

After a long while, he slowly approached and drove them off.

Then he told her,

"This is a warning, not to try and usurp Edith’s position in this family, or next time, I won’t mind handing you over to them."

Even without Mystical Techniques, everyone knew he was possessed by a female ghost.

As for why such a commotion went unreported by household staff, it soon became clear.

Because all those serving in the courtyard, even the gatekeepers, had inexplicably fainted.

Most had collapsed indoors, only a few lying outside, near Keith Phoenix’s feet.

Lady Phoenix didn’t even want to inquire about what happened or question her eldest son’s condition, only urgently turned to Alexander Gibson,

"Immortal Master! Quickly! Expel this demon and save my Keith!"

At this moment, she forgot she initially sought help for Jordan Phoenix, now solely focused on the ghost before her disappearing.

Alexander Gibson clearly needed no reminder from Lady Phoenix. Recognizing the deep Resentful Energy of the female ghost, he briskly approached, holding the Eight Divagrams Plate before his chest, facing the ghost and swiftly acted,

"Heavenly and Earthly Peace, Heaven and Earth’s Essence... I now chant the spell, dispel ghosts, usher in commands, banish all evils!"

As the final word of the spell fell, the Eight Divagrams Plate in Alexander’s hand shone with spiritual light, from which a black and white force flew straight toward Keith Phoenix.

"Keith Phoenix" momentarily twisted his expression, his voice becoming shrill,

"You wretched Taoist aiding evil!"

His Resentful Energy suddenly surged, nearly solidifying into darkness, colliding with the heavenly force.

However, her heavy Resentful Energy ultimately couldn’t compete with the plate’s power.

As the black and white heavenly force was about to purge the female ghost from Keith Phoenix’s body, suddenly, a spiritual light shot from one side, transformed into chains that tightly bound the Eight Divagrams Plate.

This unexpected turn astonished everyone, including Alexander Gibson.

Turning, they saw Scarlett Jennings, who had unbeknownst to them stepped forward, single-handedly chanting with a cold expression,

"According to the Mystical Sect’s rules, before acting, shouldn’t we listen to this female ghost’s story?"
