Dark Phoenix Prince

With the help of a guide, it didn't take Alu and the others too long before arriving at the exit from the crypt.

"That's the way out of this place." The guide pointed to a passage covered with a boulder.

"Before they used that boulder to block the entrance to this place." He explained.

"Oh." Alu stared at the boulder that covered the passage for a while before staring at the guide once again.

"You." The guide immediately trembled when he felt Alu's gaze.

"Because your job is done. Now it's time for you to go to where your friends went." Alu said with a cold smile.

After saying that, he then hit the guide on the head.

Bang...

The guide was too weak. His head exploded instantly after taking one hit from Alu.

Bam...

Alu then kicked his remaining body.

Nobody reacted to Alu's actions. They seemed to have gotten used to his cruel nature.

After getting rid of the corpse of the guide, Alu then walked over to the boulder that covered the underground passage.

When he arrived in front of the boulder, Alu immediately sent his fist to the boulder.

Bang...

In an instant, the boulder exploded and shattered to pieces.

As soon as the boulder shattered, sunlight immediately entered Alu's view.

Seeing that, Alu immediately walked out of the underground passage.

Rena and the others also followed behind him.

"Mn."

When exiting the underground passage, Alu was a little surprised as he looked at the surroundings.

There were no big trees like before. Instead, what he saw was a very wide open area.

Apart from that, it didn't look too uphill either. It just looks a little uphill.

However, the place was filled with clouds that limited Alu and the others' line of sight.

"Is this the peak of the mountain?" Alu thinks.

But he only thought for a moment. As he walked further from the underground passage, Alu suddenly narrowed his eyes while looking at a certain location.

"This aura!"

Rena and others can feel it too.

"The dragon gate might be at that place."

"It shouldn't be too far from here."

"Let's go." Said Alu.

After Alu's words, they immediately ran towards the direction where the aura came from.

They ran through the many clouds, and a few moments later, they suddenly stopped when they found a river which was quite wide.

"That aura comes from the headwaters of this river. The dragon gate should be there." Rena said.

"Maybe." Replied Alu. "Let's follow this river."

"Mm."

They then ran towards the headwaters.

Of course, the area around the river was also filled with clouds so that they couldn't clearly see what was upstream.

However, as they got further away, they could feel the aura they felt was getting closer. And not only that aura, now they even started to feel a lot of auras that could be confirmed belonged to cultivators.

Not long after, they found the clouds in that place getting thinner.

Over time, they began to see what was in front of them.

After another few hundred meters, they finally arrived at an area that was not covered in clouds.

And immediately, they could see what was in front of them.

About a few kilometers ahead of them, there was a lake, and it was from that lake that the river they had passed was flowing.

Of course, what attracted the most attention was not the lake, but the something that was floating above the lake.

"So this is the dragon gate." Alu said as he saw something floating right above the lake.

The gate was a hundred kilometers high, and there was a dragon carving in front of it. And it also emitted an extremely majestic aura as if there really was a dragon behind the gate.

In the center of the gate, there were three keyholes, and although the three keyholes looked very small, they actually looked so striking that anyone who saw the dragon gate would have seen them.

And those three keyholes emitted an aura that was exactly the same as the key aura that Alu had.

Around the lake, there were already quite a number of people gathered, and they were all looking towards the lake.

When Alu and the others came, the people around the lake only glanced back briefly before gazing back at the gate floating above the lake.

There are so many people who come from time to time. They naturally had no interest in paying attention to everyone who came to the place.

However, they only shifted their gazes for a brief moment before they glanced back once again. And this time their eyes were only on Alu.

They all immediately narrowed their eyes as they stared at Alu.

"A

"There's a key aura from this guy."

"And there are two."

"This fellow actually carries two keys on his body."

What made them stare at Alu once again of course was because they suddenly felt a key aura from Alu's body.

They seemed to already know that the key aura to open the dragon gate was exactly the same as the keyhole aura on the dragon gate.

In fact, Alu could also feel the key aura among the people around the lake.

"Not Elizabeth." Alu said as he saw where the key aura came from.

That key aura came from the group of people closest to the lake.

Those people all had Life and Death stage second layer cultivation.

It's just that, from their aura, Alu could feel that they weren't too strong.

They were indeed strong, but they were only equal to Henn's two previous followers at most. None of them seemed to be Henn's equal.

"They seem to hold the key together." Alu said to himself.

With their strengths being equal to each other, it was clear that none of them were qualified to hold the key alone. The key is basically theirs together.

When Alu looked at them, they looked at each other for a moment before walking towards Alu.

As they stared at Alu, they seemed to be filled with wariness.

Although Alu was currently not emitting any aura so they couldn't even sense his cultivation level, they somehow felt goosebumps when they felt Alu's gaze.

The woman beside Alu also made them alert.

And the four people behind the two of them made them realize that this group of people who had just arrived wasn't a trivial group.

People started to open a path as they walked towards Alu.

With their strength, they clearly held the highest prestige in the place.

A while later, they finally arrived not far from Alu.

One of them looked like he wanted to talk, but before he could speak, Alu had already spoken.

"Hand over the key you guys keep together, and I'll let you live." Alu said with an indifferent tone and expression.

"...."

The people around the lake couldn't help but breathe in the cold air. They were completely stunned by Alu's words.

How arrogant. How domineering.

"Who is he. He sure dares to speak big."

"Doesn't he know what group he's dealing with. It is an alliance of the various second tier factions. Even the first tier factions don't dare to provoke so many of them."

"This man is really looking to die."

The people around the lake started talking.

Most of them felt that Alu was too arrogant.

Of course, there were also people who felt that Alu was not just being arrogant.

They said.

"This fellow has obtained two keys at once. I think his strength must not be weak."

"That's right. He might really be very strong."

"Maybe his strength really is enough to be arrogant."

"Who are you?"

In the end, one of the people in the group who kept the key chose to ask first.

Even though Alu's words made them angry, they didn't dare to act rashly.

They also thought that Alu was not just being arrogant. He might actually have the strength to ignore them.

"Ehm..." Alu smiled slightly when she heard that person's question.

"Okay, I'm not in the mood to be petty right now." Replied Alu.

After saying that, he then looked up at the tablet floating above the holy path.

Alu then said. "My name is"

Boom...

Before Alu could finish his words, three mighty auras suddenly erupted among the people.

"Stop pretending, leave the keys in your hand to us." Someone screamed.

Whooss... Whooss... Whooss...

Immediately after, three people jumped from the crowd and charged towards Alu.

Those three people were also at the second layer of the Life and Death stage. But they are not part of the group that holds one of the keys.

When the three people made their move, people immediately noticed them.

Of course, there were quite a few who wanted to snatch the keys from Alu. However, because they were wary of Alu, they chose not to move.

Now, there were some people who dared to make a move first, it was of course an opportunity for them to see Alu's strength.

"Some people really couldn't help themselves." Alu said with a cynical expression when he saw the three people who lunged at him.

Since there was no Elizabeth in the place, Alu actually lost the mood for fighting which is why he wanted to say his name.

But he didn't expect that before he could finish speaking, there would already be a few people moving.

"Looks like I still have to kill chickens to scare off the monkeys." Said Alu.
