Phoenix Emperor
Chap 80's. Last relic.
"Brother, is there something you need?" asked Liu Wei.
Yin Feng nodded, then explained the intent of his arrival to the Liu clan, which was to ask Liu Wei for help in searching for her mother's Phoenix feather sword.
Yin Feng actually did not want to involve the Silver Phoenix association, yet he had no other choice as he wanted to immediately set out towards the Sky continent.
"Fur sword Phoenix, I seem to have heard the name of this sword" Liu Wei said.
"REally?!"
Liu Wei only responded to Yin Feng's words with a nod, as he was trying hard to remember where he had heard the name of the sword Yin Feng was looking for.
"Didn't that sword exist before in our treasure vault?"
"yes too! The sword was previously in the treasure warehouse. But tonight that sword will be auctioned."
"Show me that sword right now!"
Liu Wei nodded slowly, then invited Yin Feng to meet his father, because to see the item to be auctioned must get permission from his father.
Arriving at the hall, Liu Wei then expressed his intention of wanting to see the item to be auctioned off, as well as explaining about the Phoenix fur sword to his father.
"Master Liu, if the sword is indeed on you, I hope you can hand it over to me" Yin Feng said.
"True, the sword was indeed on me. But, can you give me proof?"
"I will prove it if you show me the sword" Yin Feng replied.
According to Liu Wei's explanation, the sword traits that the Liu clan stored were indeed the same as the Phoenix feather sword, but Yin Feng had to confirm it first.
If that sword was indeed the Phoenix feather sword he was looking for, it was certain that Yin Feng could prove that it was indeed his mother's sword.
Although he slightly objected to Yin Feng's request, Liu Zhang still agreed to it, because his father had already reminded him not to offend Yin Feng.
After which, Liu Zhang brought Yin Feng towards the auction storage warehouse. Likewise with Liu Wei and Liu Hua who forced to come to the storage warehouse.
Upon arrival at the storage warehouse, Liu Zhang then led them to a special room, the room was protected with a formation that only Liu Zhang could open.
"This is a special room to store heirlooms" Liu Zhang said.
"And the sword you seek is there."
Without even being told Yin Feng had already found the sword he was looking for, because ever since entering the warehouse, there was an aura of power that attracted his attention.
Yin Feng walked up to the source of the force aura that kept pulling him, then his steps came to a halt when he was right in front of a silver-colored sword.
"Wait!" Liu Zhang stopped Yin Feng who was about to touch the sword.
"I've brought you here, so prove that the sword is yours" he continued.
Yin Feng let out a long sigh as he shook his head slowly, then walked over to Liu Zhang and his two children. "Look this good."
Yin Feng then poured his spiritual energy into the silver sword and instantly, the silver-colored sword trembled as if responding to Yin Feng's energy.
Not long after, the sword flew towards Yin Feng, even the formation wall that Liu Bing had created was shattered from not being able to withstand the sword.
"It's..."
Liu Zhang was at a loss for words when he saw the sword leave its place, not even expecting that the silver sword was responding to Yin Feng's call.
During this time, neither Liu Zhang nor Liu Bing, both of them had tried to subdue the silver sword, but the efforts of the two of them never came to fruition.
Therefore, Liu Zhang decided to auction the sword, because they did not want an object that could not be used, even if it was very valuable.
"My father is right, this sword can only be used by his master" Liu Zhang said.
"But, there's a bit of a troublesome problem" he continued.
Liu Zhang nodded, then explained that the sword was wanted by the emperor, he wanted to make the sword a gift for his daughter.
Moreover, the emperor had already given Liu Zhang a considerable amount of money, lest the sword be put on the list of items to be auctioned.
"I don't care! If he's trying to snatch it from me, I don't mind fighting one empire!"
"Yin Feng, I know you're a strong cultivator, but fighting one empire is too..."
"We'll see!"
"Alright, let's go back" Liu Zhang said, then they left the storage shed.
When they arrived at the hall earlier, a man who was an envoy from the empire also arrived in the room and Liu Zhang certainly already knew the purpose of his arrival.
"Tell the emperor, we'll come see him tonight."
"Alright, and don't forget to bring the things your highness wants."
"Bright... It seems that what I fear will really happen" Liu Zhang muttered.
"That's exactly what I want" Yin Feng said, listening to Liu Zhang's words.
***
Her night.
In keeping with his promise, Liu Zhang and his family actually came to the imperial palace, as well as Yin Feng who wanted to meet the emperor directly.
"Sincerely, your honor!"
Liu Bing led his family to pay respects to emperor Zhong, but not to Yin Feng who was just silent and did not pay respect to the emperor.
"Liu Bing, is he a member of your family?" ask Ling Guan.
Liu Bing turned to Yin Feng for a while, then explained that Yin Feng was not a member of their family, but had a fraternal relationship with his grandson.
"Then, why didn't he salute me?!"
"Esteemed or disrespectful to you, it has nothing to do with the Liu clan!" yin Feng said.
"How bad are you, boy!" the man who was beside the emperor released his aura of power.
The entire room was shrouded in an extremely dense and intimidating aura, yet only Liu Bing and Yin Feng still looked calm in the face of such bullying pressure.
Liu Bing's lunge was indeed well known to everyone in Zhong empire, so they were not surprised to see Liu Bing who could still relax under that pressure.
However, Yin Feng's figure was very foreign to all of them, moreover his age looked very young but he was able to behave as calm and relaxed as Liu Bing.
"Here it is, do not be ignored again" said Ling Guan won his subordinates.
"Liu Bing, did you bring the sword?"
"Your highness, actually..."
"The sword is mine, if you want it come and take it from my hand!" yin Feng said cutting Liu Bing's words.
"Liu Bing, what does this mean? Why did you hand the sword over to someone else?!""
"I am not someone else, but the owner of the sword!" yin Feng again did not give Liu Bing a chance to speak up.
From that short talk, Yin Feng understood that Ling Guan wanted to blame the Liu clan, which was why Yin Feng always answered questions directed at Liu Bing.
That way, Ling Guan had no chance to blame the Liu clan, and the Liu clan would also not get involved in a matter that could lead to war.
