Phoenix Emperor
Chap 28's. Yin Feng's Decree.

After disappearing from the imperial palace, Yin Feng appeared again in front of his teacher's grave. He kowtowed, cried and apologized repeatedly in front of Xu Jiang's tomb.

Yin Feng expressed regret for not being around when needed, Yin Feng also considered himself a useless disciple for failing to save his teacher.

"Teacher, I swear! I will take Shan Zhe Ming's life with my own hands!"

After saying his vow, Yin Feng then paid his last respects to the late teacher, then left the place.

At first, Yin Feng had intended to attack the Jade Mountain sect, but in the end, Yin Feng undoed that intention of his not wanting to act rashly.

If Yin Feng attacked the Jade Mountain sect without having any mature preparations, then it was the same as him giving his life voluntarily to Shan Zhe Ming.

Moreover, his current strength was still not comparable to Shan Zhe Ming nor the elders of the Jade Mountain sect, so Yin Feng decided to delay his revenge.

Meanwhile.

"Your Majesty, this cannot be allowed!" said one of the palace officials.

"Yes your honor! The boy did not know that he had just threatened to destabilize the empire" another official said.

Zhao Yujin naturally understood why Yin Feng was so angry at him, yet he also could not ignore Yin Feng's previous threat, as it concerned the empire.

Moreover, the strength of Yin Feng was also still a mystery and its appearance in the imperial palace, being a tangible proof that Yin Feng possessed power that was not low.

A few months ago, Yin Feng sacrificed himself and fought against the fire eagle alone, and indirectly Yin Feng had saved the empire.

At first, they all doubted Yin Feng's abilities, even they were certain that Yin Feng had died at the hands of the fire eagle, but in fact he was still alive and well.

"Your Majesty, how do you respond?"

"Let's know, I'm really confused as to how to deal with this matter" Zhao Yujin replied.

As the leader, Zhao Yujin certainly could not keep quiet when there was someone threatening his empire, but he also could not ignore Yin Feng's previous actions.

"For now, how about we just keep an eye on him? If he does something that could harm the empire, then that's when we have to act."

"I don't mind, but we have to stay alert and careful."

In the end, they all agreed to watch over Yin Feng first. Then, Zhao Yujin sent out some of her best cultivators to do the task.

"Next, what about the Jade Mountain sect?"

"I told you, I can't get rid of them, because they are part of this imperial pillar" Zhao Yujin replied.

"Then what will we do if Yin Feng attacks the sect?"

"The best option is, we should try to maintain the power of this empire."

"Means we're going to help the Jade Mountain sect?"

"Hahh" Zhao Yujin let out a long sigh then stood up from her throne, "whatever happens, I don't want to lose any more pillars anymore."

In the beginning, the empire had many pillars that made it extremely powerful, but as time went on, the pillars began to collapse one by one.

Now, one of the pillars of Bei empire collapsed again and left only four pillars, among them the Heavenly Dragon sect, the Flying Sword sect, the Silver Phoenix Association and the Jade Mountain sect.

In the Bei empire itself there were many powerful big sects, but they refused to become imperial pillars, even so they would still help if the empire was in big trouble.

That was why, Zhao Yujin decided not to interfere in Yin Feng's matter, because if he did, then the Bei empire would lose its pillar again.

"Welcome, young master, how can I help you?"

"I need a very powerful mask" Yin Feng replied.

"All right, wait a minute" said the waiter, then went to a nearby room.

Not long after, the servant came again with a large wooden box, in which there were several masks made of wood and iron.

"Miss, I want a mask that doesn't break easily, but why are you carrying trash like this?!"

"Young gentlemen, w-what..."

"Take the others or I'll take them myself!"

"Ba-nice" the maid rushed back to the room before, a moment later she returned again to the presence of Yin Feng.

"Sir, this is the best mask we have."

Yin Feng smiled at the black mask made of wood, even though the material was not made of iron, but its strength was not inferior to iron though.

Besides, Yin Feng also discovered something special about the black mask and he was sure that neither the waiter nor the shopkeeper noticed it.

"How much?"

"Ten pieces of gold."

Yin Feng took out ten pieces of gold coins from his spatial ring, then handed them to the maid, then left there without saying anything.

After leaving the shop, Yin Feng went to the other store to buy some clothes, he also stopped at one of the restaurants in the city to fill his stomach.

Finished buying all his necessities on the way, Yin Feng immediately left the city, then halted his steps after being away from the city.

"From the beginning, I had no intention of being a good person, nor of being a criminal" he muttered, then took out a black mask from his space ring.

Oh wow!

An extremely terrifying dark aura emanated from the mask as Yin Feng flowed his spiritual energy, that dark aura enveloped Yin Feng and tried to take over his body.

"Want to control my body? Don't hope!" yin Feng said then absorbed the dark aura emanating from the black mask.

In just a matter of minutes, Yin Feng had managed to absorb and fuse that dark aura with himself. "Really! This is what I need!"

Oh wow!

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from Yin Feng's body and whoever saw it now, they would definitely think that Yin Feng was a murderer.

"It's time to execute my plan!"

Originally, Yin Feng had intended to do a closed-door exercise until he was really strong to fight Shan Zhe Ming, but now he had a more interesting plan.

If it attacked the Jade Mountain sect head-on, it would definitely lose and lose its life, which was why Yin Feng intended to terrorize the sect by killing its disciples.

Although he did not see the attack directly, Yin Feng was sure that all members of the Jade Mountain sect were involved in the attack.

That was why, Yin Feng would not let go of anyone who had ties to the Jade Mountain sect, and he would annihilate them all without the slightest remaining.

"Without you noticing, your deeds have turned my nephew into a demon" muttered Ying Huo who was watching Yin Feng from a distance.

"But it doesn't matter, because in order to eliminate his great enemy, Yin Feng would indeed have to be as ruthless as a demon!"
