Phoenix Emperor
Chap 02's. Wilderness.

Capitalizing on a torch to light the way, Yin Feng continued his footsteps amidst the darkness of the night without the slightest hesitation.

His immense determination left him with no fear in the slightest, Yin Feng was also determined not to back down in the slightest even though a huge obstacle was blocking him.

"Hah" Yin Feng stopped and sighed to throw away his fatigue. "I must hurry, otherwise the sect leader will definitely come and pick me up."

After resting for a moment, Yin Feng resumed his journey, he wanted to go as far away from the Jade Lotus sect as possible so that Xu Jiang could not find himself.

This journey of his had been planned for a long time, so Yin Feng did not want his plan to be destroyed by Xu Jiang who could come at any time to pick himself up.

A few hours passed.

The night had ended, and the sun had emerged from the eastern horizon to illuminate the Xuanwu landmass, replacing the moon and the millions of stars dotting the night.

Yin Feng stopped his steps as the sunlight swept through him, he closed his eyes and spread his hands to enjoy the warmth of the sun.

The tiredness and coldness that accompanied him all night, instantly dissipated as the warmth of the sunlight wrapped around his body, Yin Feng also gained his strength again.

"When to continue on the way" Yin Feng murmured, then stepped his legs again.

On the other side.

Xu Jiang smiled after reading the letter that Yin Feng had left for him, "I will always wait for your return, Feng'er."

Actually Xu Jiang was already aware of Yin Feng's departure, it was even Xu Jiang who helped Yin Feng avoid the sect disciples who were on guard during the night.

He did so because he did not want to curb Yin Feng, even though the outside world was extremely dangerous for Yin Feng, yet Xu Jiang was confident that Yin Feng was able to get through everything.

In addition, Xu Jiang also believed that someday, Yin Feng would get what he wanted, whether it had strength or gained power.

"When he's just gone, but I can't wait for his return."

After that, Xu Jiang checked Yin Feng's room, he again smiled when he opened Yin Feng's wardrobe, because the sect robes he gave were already not there.

"Thank God, I don't think he's gonna take her."

Although Yin Feng had always refused to become his disciple, Xu Jiang had given him the sect robes, as proof that Yin Feng was part of the Jade Lotus sect.

However, ever since the robe was given to him, Yin Feng had never worn it even once, Xu Jiang had even persuaded him but remained rejected by Yin Feng.

That refusal had made Xu Jiang worried and thought that Yin Feng did not want to be part of the sect, but now that Xu Jiang's worries had vanished.

"Feng'er, I hope you wear that robe when you come back."

***

Time rolled by quickly, several weeks had passed since Yin Feng had started his journey and currently, Yin Feng was in an extremely vast wilderness.

Of the many places in the Bei empire, Yin Feng had deliberately chosen the wilderness as his first destination, because the place he wanted to visit was there.

The place Yin Feng wanted to visit was a cave, which was where he had been abandoned by his parents fifteen years ago.

"After this I just need to find the cave" Yin Feng muttered as he savored his food.

Finding a cave in the vast wilderness was certainly not an easy matter, moreover Yin Feng did not know how many caves there were within the forest.

But, long before he planned his trip, Yin Feng had already gathered all the information regarding the cave where he had left Xu Jiang.

According to Xu Jiang's explanation, the cave where he found Yin Feng was surrounded by a bamboo forest, in front of the cave there was also a large chunk of stone with a carving of Phoenix birds.

"Cave surrounded by bamboo forest. All right, time for a search!"

Finished eating and resting for a moment, Yin Feng then continued on his way. However, his steps suddenly came to a halt when he felt a cold wind pound his body.

"Damn it, why did I forget this?"

Yin Feng's journey had been very smooth, because on his journey he had only met ferocious beasts and avoiding them was not difficult.

However, the forest he was in today was not an ordinary forest, but a wilderness that was the residence of various types of spiritual animals.

Basically, spiritual animals have a form that is almost the same as ordinary animals or wild animals, only they have strength and intelligence.

In addition, it is said that a spiritual animal that has reached a certain level, is able to speak like a human even some can be transformed into a human.

"Stupid! Why can I forget this?!"

"GRRRR!"

Yin Feng's body immediately shuddered when he heard a voice from behind him. A feeling of fear began to envelop him, even he was too afraid to see the figure behind him.

"Whatever happens, I'll never back down!" Yin Feng used all his strength and ran away from the spiritual beast.

"Groarrr!"

An extremely loud roar echoed within the forest, at the same time an immense pressure suddenly struck Yin Feng's body, thus making it difficult for him to move.

"W-what's this? Why is my body so heavy?"

"Man, what's your purpose in coming to this forest?"

Yin Feng gasped when he heard that sinister voice, his body frozen and could not be moved in the slightest, cold sweat pouring down his face.

"I know there are indeed spiritual animals that can talk, but why should it be now?"

"You didn't answer? Well, whatever your purpose, you'll obviously be my meal!"

The red tiger-shaped spiritual beast then jumped up and prepared to pounce on Yin Feng, but its movements suddenly came to a halt before reaching Yin Feng.

"Go!"

A mysterious voice suddenly rang out but only the red tiger could hear it, besides that its body was also buffeted by an extremely terrifying aura.

"Who?"

"Don't make me repeat it!"

"Ba-good."

Although he was eager to prey on Yin Feng, but the red tiger had no choice but to leave from there, because after all he was still unwilling to lose his life.

On the other side.

Yin Feng who had been silently staring finally dared to look back, he seemed confused because he found nothing there.

"Well, where did the spiritual animal go?"

Yin Feng shook his head, "whatever happens, I should leave this place immediately?" since the situation was already safe, Yin Feng finally continued on his way.
