Alex arrived back in the Sanctuary and immediately rushed to the palace to speak with the elders.
He went in rushing and met two of the elders that came to intercept him, thinking he was someone else.
"Young man? You're back already?" Yao Ning asked when she saw him. Hou Xinya was surprised as well.
"What happened in the Sanctum? Did you find your father?" Hou Xinya asked him.
"Forget my father, the entire Dark Phoenix group was waiting for me there," he said.
"What? Are you fine? Are you hurt?" Yao Ning asked worriedly.
"Not really," Alex said. "I was nearly killed, by none other than Zhu Shaofan. Turns out, he's the leader of the Dark Phoenix assassins group."
The two elders looked at him with a confused look.
"I can make an oath if you want," Alex said.
The other two looked at him suspiciously. "Zhu Shaofan nearly killed you?" they asked.
"Yes," Alex said.
"How did you survive?" they asked.
Single chapter for today. Need to plan out a bit more before I write the next span of chapters.
