Phoenix Emperor
Chap 89's. The Jade Tortoise Clan.

Time kept turning, several days had passed since the two decided to continue on their way towards the Jade Tortoise clan together.

The days they went through further strained their relationship, even Duan Ling already had feelings for Yin Feng, yet he did not show.

While Yin Feng, he was still as usual, looking calm and mediocre so it was difficult for Duan Ling to know what the young man was feeling.

"Is it far away?" asked Yin Feng.

"Actually not really, even this journey can be taken in just a few hours" Duan Ling replied.

"Why haven't we arrived yet?"

Duan Ling then explained that he deliberately took a detour and convoluted, so that no one would know his purpose as well as the location of the Jade Tortoise clan.

Duan Ling also explained that the Jade Tortoise clan was almost eliminated from the Sky continent, because after the Great Phoenix clan disappeared, they became easy targets of the Wind Tiger clan.

Not wanting to be wiped out like the Great Phoenix clan, they decided to hide and seclude themselves, as they gathered strength to attack the empire.

But in fact, their strength never increased, instead their combat strength continued to decline and lag far from the combat power of the other two clans.

"Then, what's your purpose in getting there?" asked Yin Feng.

"Delivering my teacher's message to the Jade Tortoise clan leader" Duan Ling replied.

"What about you, what's your purpose in getting there?"

Yin Feng was silent for a moment while staring at the horizon that stretched wide above them. "Don't you know my identity?"

"I know, just want to make sure of your goal alone" Duan Ling replied.

"Mr Ling, I want to convey something."

"What's that?"

Yin Feng then explained that his strength had the same impact as Duan Ling's strength, and only Duan Ling's strength could help him.

Afterwards, Yin Feng expressed his intention to make Duan Ling his match, yet he would not force it if Duan Ling did not want it.

"Do you need an answer now?" asked Duan Ling.

"Not really, you can think about it first."

"Thank you and I hope you can understand."

Although they need each other, but establishing a serious relationship is not an easy thing, moreover, the two do not know how each character.

That was why Duan Ling wanted to think about it first, as he wanted to know more things about Yin Feng before making a decision.

***

After a time-consuming journey, the two of them finally arrived at a remote island outside the dominions of the Sky Empire.

"Is this the place?" asked Yin Feng.

Duan Ling nodded, then took out a jade from his spatial ring, then pointed the jade towards the island that was in front of them.

Not long after, in front of them appeared a circle of formations surrounding the entire island, then the formation opened so that they could enter the island.

The main hall of the Jade Tortoise clan.

"Mr Ling, this time what did you bring for me?" ask the old man who sat on the throne of the clan.

"I brought a message from my teacher" Duan Ling replied, then handed the scroll to Gui Bei, the leader of the Jade Tortoise clan.

Gui Bei moved his index finger, instantly the scroll in Duan Ling's hand floated up to him, then the scroll opened itself.

"Alright, tell your teacher that I'll meet her at the usual place."

"Good, sir."

"He's..."

Yin Feng stopped Duan Ling who wanted to introduce herself, then stepped forward while directing a sharp look at the old man.

"Young man, what does that sharp look of yours mean?"

"I don't like to mince words, so..."

Oh wow!

Yin Feng released his aura of power, instantly the entire main hall was enveloped by the immense pressure of intimidation, even the room was until it shook.

At the same time, the green-colored aura that enveloped Yin Feng's body then formed the silhouette of a Phoenix bird, which made the bullying pressure even greater.

The appearance of that Phoenix silhouette made Gui Bei and all the clan members present in the room stand up, they also instantly realized the true identity of Yin Feng.

"No way! Didn't you guys already..."

"Really! My clan has indeed been wiped out, and I am the only one left of the clan" Yin Feng said.

"Who are your parents?" ask Gui Bei.

"Yin Huang."

Gui Bei and everyone who was there instantly fell silent, they naturally knew this name Yin Huang, as he was the leader of the Great Phoenix clan before it was wiped out.

"Gui Bei saluted the young master" the old man bowed before Yin Feng, then followed by the other clan members.

Although they had separated themselves from the Sky empire, the Jade Tortoise clan had never been hostile towards the Great Phoenix clan and still maintained good relations with them.

But unfortunately, when the attack took place they did not have time to provide assistance, because it was too late to know the news about the attack.

"Young master, your presence restores our long-lost hope" Gui Bei said.

"Then, I want to ask for your help" Yin Feng said.

Gui Bei nodded slowly, he naturally understood what kind of help Yin Feng wanted, because from the start they had one common goal.

"Young master, your journey must be tiring, what if you rest for a few days here? And if you want, young master can settle here."

Yin Feng turned to Duan Ling, then shook his head slowly. "I'll go with him."

Gui Bei frowned, although Yin Feng did not say it directly, yet Gui Bei could understand the intent of Yin Feng's gaze on Duan Ling.

"Alright, but for now it's best for the young master to rest first."

Gui Bei then ordered one of the clan members to escort Yin Feng to the special residence, so that Yin Feng could rest in peace without being disturbed.

In addition, Gui Bei also ordered the servants to bring food and drink to Yin Feng's residence, and asked them to serve him well.

"Where's my grandson?"

"Miss is training in the backyard."

"Call him here, I want to talk to him about something."

"Okay, patriarch!"

"Whatever it takes, he must be the daughter-in-law of our clan!"

The existence of Yin Feng not only brought back his hopes that had been annihilated, but also awakened his ambition to become the number one clan in the Sky continent.

And in order to achieve this goal, Gui Bei needed an extremely powerful figure as a support, and Yin Feng was the only right person to help him.

"Grandfather, why did you call me?"

Gui Bei woke up from his daydream, then turned to the source of the voice, "my granddaughter, grandfather wants you to do something."
