Phoenix Emperor
Chap 75's. Just dreaming.

Xuanwu continent, Zhong empire.

Ying Huo darted flying down the forest a great distance away from the imperial capital, the look on his face painting an enormous worry.

"Finally I'll see you too!" he said, then darted into the depths of the forest.

"Who are you? How do you know this place?!"

Not long after Ying Huo landed his foot on the ground, several cultivators who covered his face with masks suddenly appeared and surrounded him.

"I have no business with you, so don't get in my way!" ying Huo said.

"Because you came here, it definitely has some business with us!"

"I told you, don't get in my way!" ying Huo said as he released his aura of power.

In that instant, an immense pressure of intimidation fell upon the cultivators blocking his path, even his aura to the point of making the trees tremble.

The pressure of intimidation that befell their bodies made those cultivators unable to twitch, even they could not move their bodies even a little.

After which, Ying Huo continued her footsteps and left those cultivators behind. Then Ying Huo stopped his steps after arriving in front of a cave.

A while later, from within the cave came several other cultivators who were also wearing masks, yet the color of their masks was different from the previous cultivators.

At almost the same time, there appeared tens to hundreds of other masked cultivators, they surrounded Ying Huo and were ready to attack him.

"If you don't want to die, hand the crystal over to me!" said Ying Huo.

"What crystal do you mean?" asked one of the cultivators wearing a red mask.

"Give me the crystal or I'll kill you all!" said Ying Huo and again released an aura of his strength.

Ying Huo released an aura that was far greater than before, even the hundreds of cultivators surrounding him were thrown away due to the burst of his power aura.

Not only that, the cultivators wearing red masks were also knocked back, but they managed to survive by exerting their strength.

A while after, another cultivator wearing a jade mask appeared. The aura released by Ying Huo did not appear to have any impact on her.

"So you're the leader?" ask Ying Huo.

"True, I am the leader." replied the man.

Wosh.

Booms!

Before the man could finish his words, Ying Huo had already landed a crushing blow on the man's mask to the point of throwing him into the cave.

After which, Ying Huo stepped inside the cave regardless of the other cultivators who were staring at him, their bodies trembling as they sensed the aura belonging to Ying Huo.

"Who are you really?" ask the leader of the Demon Skull Association.

Ying Huo paid no heed to the man's question, he then approached a wooden box protected by a sufficiently powerful defensive formation.

"Finally met as well" he muttered, then destroyed the formation that protected the box.

The Association Leader widened his eyes, he really did not expect that the strongest defensive formation he possessed could be destroyed so easily.

"No! You can't take that thing!"

"If you are able, try to stop me" Ying Huo said, then disappeared from the place.

After leaving the headquarters of the Demon Skull association, Ying Huo then darted flying at high speed towards the wilderness that was in the Bei empire.

Upon arriving at the cave where he lived, Ying Huo then took out a silver crystal from inside the box, then placed the crystal on the side of the young man who was unconscious.

"Yin Huang, only you can help him. I beg you to save your son from the cruelty of the gods."

Ying Huo let out a long sigh, then used his strength to help Yin Feng absorb the energy contained within the silver crystal.

***

"Bright..." Yin Feng let out a long breath to calm himself down. "Calm down, otherwise I'll never find the answer to this weirdness."

After feeling calm Yin Feng then walked into the palace to meet Jia Ling, but again he heard Ying Huo's voice call out his name.

"Yin Feng, be aware! Don't let the gods rule your mind!"

Not the same as before, Ying Huo's voice this time was precisely heard more clearly than before. Even Yin Feng heard clearly what his uncle said.

"What does that mean?"

"Yin Feng's..."

"Nurrah!"

Yin Feng shouted loudly as the pain just suddenly struck his head, at the same time, Ying Huo's voice started to slowly disappear.

"Yin Feng." someone's voice came back, yet it wasn't Ying Huo's voice.

"Who?"

"Yin Feng, open your eyes..."

Oh wow!

Such a warm energy entered Yin Feng's body, relieving the pain that invaded his head also made him feel a sense of calmness and comfort.

Not long ago, Yin Feng's body was suddenly pulled by something and a moment later, he had been somewhere strange and he had never known before.

"Where else is this?"

"Yin Feng."

Yin Feng gasped and directly directed his gaze towards the source of the sound, from a distance Yin Feng saw a Silver Phoenix figure was flying over him.

After which, the Silver Phoenix changed its form into a beautiful woman. Then, the woman approached Yin Feng and directly hugged him tightly.

Surprisingly, Yin Feng could not even resist that hug, even his two hands naturally reciprocated the warm embrace of the silver-haired mysterious woman.

"Are you okay?" ask the woman.

Yin Feng only responded with a nod, being in the woman's arms made her feel comfortable and calm to the point of being speechless again.

After quite a while, the silver-haired woman let go of her embrace, yet Yin Feng still held her tightly as if not wanting to take it off.

The woman smiled and gently stroked the top of Yin Feng's head, "you must have gone through difficult days. Relax, I'll help you."

"Mother?" Yin Feng immediately let go of his embrace when he heard the silver-haired woman's words.

"Did Ying Huo not say anything to you?" asked the woman who was none other than Yin Huang, Yin Feng's mother.

"Looking at your expression, it looks like Ying Huo didn't say anything, just wait for me to definitely..."

Yin Feng immediately hugged the body of his mother tightly and without realizing it, his tears flowed profusely due to the feeling of happiness that was overflowing in his chest.

"Mother.." said Yin Feng softly.

"I'm sorry I left you alone."

After completely calming down, Yin Feng then let go of his embrace, "mother, there's something I want to ask."

Yin Huang nodded, "mother will answer all your questions, but before that, I will free you from the nightmares you have."

"Nightmare?"

"My son, what you've been through all this time isn't reality, it's just a god-induced nightmare by manipulating your mind."
