The sacred fire clan territory.
"Ling'er, where's your teacher?" asked Huo Ming.
"Teacher is gone" Huo Ling replied.
"Why don't you hold him?"
Huo Ling shook her head softly, "there's an important matter that the teacher must resolve, which is why, the teacher immediately left after dropping me off."
"It's a pity that I wanted to invite him to talk."
"So, how's your training going?"
Wush.
Huo Ling did not answer his father's question with words, but directly showed the results of the training he had been through, and it managed to leave his father dumbfounded.
How not? The cultivation of Huo Ling who was previously still at the ninth level of Heaven Spirit realm, had now risen to Saint realm level one.
Hua Ming was not displeased, instead he was extremely happy because of the increase, only, the increase was almost impossible for even the most genius cultivator to achieve.
"Congratulations, I'm really proud of you" Huo Ming said.
"Thank you, dad."
"Let's go in, they must be so happy to see your current strength."
Huo Ling simply nodded slowly, then followed her father. After they arrived at the meeting hall, Huo Ming asked his daughter to show her cultivation aura.
Just like Huo Ming, the clan elders were similarly shocked when they felt Huo Ling's cultivation aura, as it was unexpected that Huo Ling's cultivation could increase that fast.
"This is a boon to our clan!" said Huo Fang, the seventh elder of the holy fire clan.
"That's right! And I'm sure, our clan will be even more successful!" suhut Huo Zhang, the fifth elder.
"But unfortunately, the lady's lover still missed very far. I doubt if he was with the lady or not?"
The meeting hall was suddenly silent, when Huo Liang, the sixth elder of the holy fire clan spoke up and at this time, in their minds all came the same question.
In comparison, surely Yun Fei was not comparable to Huo Ling, and when compared, Huo Ling was the same as a high-flying bird, while Yun Fei was only an ant at the bottom of the ravine.
"What do you mean, sixth elder?!" Huo Ling looked annoyed that her lover was being underestimated.
"Sorry, miss. I didn't mean anything, because all I thought about was the future of our clan!"
"It's your duty as an elder, but that doesn't mean you and all of you can manage my life!"
"Huo Ling, watch your words!" huo Qian said in a firm voice.
"Why? Does uncle want to rule my life?"
Wush.
Hua Qian stood up from his seat, then released his aura of power to oppress Huo Ling, and at the same time, Huo An also released his aura to protect Huo Ling.
"Second brother, pull out your power aura!"
"Cihh! This is why I don't like you!" huo Qian said.
"It doesn't matter, but I won't let brother bully Ling'er."
"That's enough, stop this debate!"
Huo Ming who was already unable to bear it finally spoke up, because if he remained silent, then the debate would turn into a battleground.
"Ling'er, go back to your room!"
Huo Ling did not say anything more and obeyed his father's orders, even so, he was still very upset at the words of the sixth elder who had humbled Yun Fei.
After that, the clan elders discussed the matter of Yun Fei and Huo Ling's relationship, but from that discussion, it could be concluded if they did not agree with the relationship.
The reason there was only one, which was because Yun Fei's strength was still very weak and according to them, Yun Fei was not comparable to Huo Ling who was a genius no two.
"I disagree with you guys" Huo An said.
"Nobody cares what you think!" huo Qian said.
"Here you go, don't argue anymore! And get to know their relationship, I'll think again."
"Sister, what does this mean? Does brother not care about Ling'er's feelings?"
"What do you mean?"
"Self would have known that Ling'er loved Yun Fei very much, and if..."
"Love is useless against the enemy!" said Huo Wen, Huo An's third brother.
Huo An could only let out a long sigh, and as he felt himself to be no longer needed, he then stood up from his seat and left the meeting hall.
"Just ignore him, someday, he will understand how important it is to have power!"
Huo Wen deliberately raised his voice to be heard by his sister, because he wanted his sister to understand how important it was to have the strength to survive in this world.
Strength is indeed something very important, especially in the cruel cultivation world. However, not everything can be obtained with power, and one of them is happiness.
Indeed, some get their happiness with strength, but more live in nothingness, because strength does not always give happiness.

"Uncle, why is uncle here?"
Huo An turned his head for a moment, then shook his head slowly, "the uncle just wants to get some fresh air" he said.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"All this happened because of me, if only uncle had not defended me and Yun Fei, perhaps uncle would not have been like this."
A smile was etched on Huo An's lips, then said, "don't be ignored, the important thing is that you can fight for what you deserve to fight for."
Huo Ling nodded, "anything difficult, I will definitely survive."
"Good! And uncle was sure, Yun Fei would also do the same."
"really?"
"Uncle has known Yun Fei for a long time, he is a kind and hopeless young man."
After that, Huo An told about his friendship with Yun Fei while in Hufeng city, he also told how great Yun Fei was when fighting.
"Ling'er, if you really love her, then maintain your relationship, because in this world, it's hard to find a young man like her."
"Good, uncle!"

The night was getting late, the atmosphere in the city of Hufeng was already completely deserted, because the inhabitants had drowned in a dream, and left only the soldiers on guard.
Among the many inhabitants, there was a group of people who were still awake, they were members of the Xue clan who were preparing to attack the royal palace.
"Patriark, why hasn't he come yet?"
"Okay, I don't know either."
"Didn't he betray us?"
"I like that word!" said Yun Fei who suddenly appeared before all of them, of course by using the identity of the masked demon.
"Sorry, senior!"
"Alright, since you've come, we'll move now" Xue Jing said.
Yun Fei simply nodded, then he followed them moving silently towards the royal palace.
"Let me handle them."
Yun Fei disappeared from sight, a moment later he had appeared at the gate of the royal palace. At the same time, the two soldiers standing guard there immediately fell down with their heads cut off.
"Groan!" xue Jing said.
