Phoenix Emperor
Chap 32's. Traitors.
"Sincerely servant, your highness" the second elder of the Jade Mountain sect slightly bowed his body to show his respect for the emperor.
Zhao Yujin smiled and nodded her head slowly, then allowed the second elder of the Jade Mountain sect to sit on the chair that had been available in the imperial throne hall.
"Second elder, what business do you have coming here?" ask Zhao Yujin.
The man who looked 60 years old then explained his intention and purpose of coming to the palace, nothing but to discuss the rumors regarding the appearance of demons.
Then, the second elder delivered a message from Shan Zhe Ming, in which Shan Zhe Ming asked Zhao Yujin for permission to take action on the matter that was happening to them.
In the message, Shan Zhe Ming also explained some of the death toll on their side, and because of that, he asked for permission to take action so that the matter would be resolved immediately.
"Alright, I will allow it, but remember, lest you cause trouble that will only aggravate the situation."
"Son understood, your majesty."
"Is there any other business?"
The second elder shook his head slowly, and since his goal was already resolved, the second elder then bid his farewell to the emperor to immediately return to the Jade Mountain sect.
However, the emperor had not allowed him to return, as he also wanted to convey something quite important, which was about Yin Feng who was the last disciple of the Jade Lotus sect.
Zhao Yujin's words made the man startled, even though he didn't seem to believe Zhao Yujin's words, as he had already confirmed that there were no disciples from the Jade Lotus sect left.
"Your Majesty, are you serious? I mean, we've wiped them all out and no one's left, except the one who wants to join us."
"I never lied, even he came here to ask for my help" Zhao Yujin said.
"I-this is really hard to believe."
"I understand why you can't believe it, but what I'm saying is not a lie."
"My advice, you better be careful, because he's planning to take revenge on you."
"Revenge? Is he capable?"
"It's best not to underestimate him, because he's Xu Jiang's student."
"Alright, then I will present this matter to the patriarch." said the man, then left the imperial palace.
On the other side.
"Zhao Yujin, without you noticing, this action of yours has already invited destruction for yourself."
Unbeknownst to anyone, in the slightly dark corner of the throne hall, there was a pair of eyes watching and hearing every action and chatter of everyone who was there.
That mysterious figure was none other than Ying Huo, he had been in the Bei imperial palace to become an eye as well as an ear for Yin Feng, even though he was doing so of his own accord.
In fact, the initial purpose of Ying Huo coming to the palace was not to become a spy, but rather to kill Zhao Yujin and his subordinates, as well as destroy the Bei imperial palace.
However, he undoes his intention to see how Yin Feng solves his own problems, which is why he decides to spy on Zhao Yujin and his minions.
"I was curious, how did Yin Feng react after hearing this news" Ying Huo muttered, then disappeared from his place.
Meanwhile.
The eighth and ninth elders who were sent to investigate the existence of demons, were now already in the forest quite far from the sect, but until now they still had not found anything.
"I thought it would be pointless to do this."
"Not to complain, after all we have no choice but to obey the words of the patriarch."
"You're right, even though our current position is very low, but at least we're still alive."
The two elders sent by Shan Zhe Ming were none other than the second elder and the fourth elder of the Jade Lotus sect, who now served as the eighth and ninth elders of the Jade Mountain sect.
"How about we split up?"
"No problem" replied the ninth elder, then the two split up.
Half an hour later.
"Damn, I've been through this forest for half an hour, but still found nothing!" said the ninth elder who was getting bored.
"Come out, I know you're there."
"really? Didn't you realize my existence earlier?" yin Feng asked, then came out from his hiding.
Yin Feng's words suddenly made the ninth elder startled, "impossible! Did you do it on purpose?!"
From the very beginning, Yin Feng had indeed followed the ninth elder, even before he parted with the eighth elder, yet back then Yin Feng had intentionally not appeared as it would be difficult against the two of them.
That was why, Yin Feng could only wait patiently and in the end, Yin Feng's patience bore fruit, as the two traitor elders decided to split up.
"Wittingly or not, what's in it for a traitor like you."
"What do you mean?!" ask the ninth elder.
Oh wow!
Yin Feng released an extremely concentrated killing aura, even his aura was able to make the ninth elder tremble, and at the same time, Yin Feng's figure looked like a demon in his eyes.
"You... So you're the devil?!"
"Haha! So now you're calling me a demon? What is the proper name for a traitor?"
"Whatchu mean? I never betrayed anyone!"
"Decorate! Your words are so sickening!" yin Feng said, then disappeared from sight.
A slash!
A moment later, there was a slashing sound in the ninth elder's ear and instantly, his left hand was suddenly cut off.
"Arm!"
"Is it painful?" asked Yin Feng who had appeared again.
"Fuck up! I will not forgive you!"
The ninth elder then took out a sword from the spatial ring that was on his right finger, then darted forward and attacked Yin Feng.
However, just before his sword touched the target, Yin Feng suddenly disappeared from sight, even the aura of his existence also disappeared and could not be felt anymore by the ninth elder.
"If you have the guts, show yourself and fight fair" said the ninth elder.
"Cih... How dare a traitor like you speak of justice!"
A slash!
A slash!
Yin Feng launched an attack three times in a row, but the one that managed to hit the ninth elder's body was only two attacks, while the other one was successfully restrained.
Even so, the ninth elder could not counterattack, as Yin Feng's figure was nowhere to be seen and the air of his existence could not be felt in the slightest.
"I'm here!" yin Feng said as he landed another attack.
With his current strength, it was difficult for Yin Feng to go head-to-head with a sect elder, which was why Yin Feng could only use a devious means to deal with the ninth elder.
Besides, Yin Feng also no longer cared about the name justice, as long as he could avenge his teacher, any way he would do it, including being a cunning person.
"Fuck fuck, show yourself!"
Oh wow!
The ninth elder released his aura of power, he hoped that by releasing his aura of power he could find or sense the air of Yin Feng's existence.
However, what he expected did not even come true, even the aura of power released by the ninth elder did not give any impact to Yin Feng.
"What's wrong? Are you confused because you still can't feel the air of my existence?"
"Fuckin' shit! Show yourself right now!"
