Chapter 1953 - 1952: Fire Phoenix Clan

Chapter 1953: Chapter 1952: Fire Phoenix Clan

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

In another part of the camp, the two tribes of Fengshan had already arrived before sunset and settled in with a supply transport unit.

After dinner, due to the nightfall, the people from both Fengshan tribes entered their tents to rest, as there was still a journey to make during the day.

The two Fengshan tribes actually belong to the same clan, but as the population grew, a new tribe was established. Over time, it developed into Fengshan Left Tribe and Fengshan Right Tribe.

Separated by Fengshan, the two tribes provide mutual support and have always been closely aligned.

While the two Fengshan tribes do not match the grandeur of the Eight Tribes within the Demon Clan, they are also not low-rank bloodline mixed Demon Clan. Together, they amount to no fewer than forty or fifty thousand people, making them a considerable tribe. Moreover, the Fengshan tribes have produced a Sword Saint, earning them a reputable name within the Demon Country.

Thus, these two tribes are considered mid-level tribes within the Demon Country, falling in between the highest and lowest ranks.

"Clan Leader, a tribal cavalry has just arrived at the camp."

"Hmm? At this hour, how could there be a new tribe? At the previous camp, weren’t there any teams of a thousand?"

The clan leader of Fengshan Left Tribe is named Yang Lin, as the area surrounding the Left Tribe is primarily populated by poplar trees, while the Right Tribe area, being closer to Heze, is abundant with willow trees, hence the surname Liu.

"That, I’m not sure."

The warrior from the Sheep Clan who came to report seemed unsure how to respond, but at this moment, the tent curtain was lifted, and a man with a lithe figure and horns on his head entered.

Yang Lin glanced at the newcomer and immediately dismissed his subordinates, then stood up and said, "Why aren’t you staying in your tribe, what brings you here?"

The visitor was Liu Shan, the clan leader of the Right Tribe. Although they came from the same clan and were even cousins, there was still an underlying rivalry between them, and neither was willing to concede.

"Did you hear the commotion outside?"

Liu Shan paid no mind to Yang Lin’s attitude and jumped straight to the point, to which Yang Lin acknowledged with a grunt, "I’m not deaf. How could I not hear such a commotion? I’m just surprised that a team of a thousand cavalry arrived at this hour."

Upon hearing Yang Lin’s confusion, Liu Shan chuckled, "I knew you wouldn’t know. As it happens, I was patrolling at night and caught wind of the commotion, so I took a peek, only to run into an old acquaintance."

Yang Lin responded with an oh.

"An acquaintance?"

"It was the clan leader of the Dog Clan that we previously encountered at the camp. At the last camp, he brought what’s left of his clan to seek aid, and we spoke on his behalf."

"Oh, him. Wasn’t he guarding the camp? Why is he here?"

Yang Lin was puzzled.

"Hmm. That Dog Clan fellow got lucky and met someone important."

"Important? You mean the Wolf Clan?"

Yang Lin showed some disdain. Although the Wolf Clan is one of the Eight Tribes and the Wolf Clan from the previous camp came from Heiyan Clan of Chaotic Blade Mountain, Yang Lin didn’t hold them in high regard. Perhaps those Demon Clans with lower bloodline reverence them, but his Fengshan Left Tribe wouldn’t be intimidated by them.

Liu Shan sneered and displayed equal disdain, "Come on, what kind of important figure is that Wolf Clan? It’s just a small tribe leader emerging from Heiyan Clan, not even the direct line of Heiyan Clan, or else they wouldn’t be stationed here as guards."

"It’s someone genuinely important from Demon Capital, from the Feather Clan. You know what they did? That Dog Clan managed to ride a war wolf. Equipped like Wolf Clan’s Light Cavalry, his role transformed to become the other’s vanguard scout."

"As for the main force, it’s led by hundreds of Horned Rhinoceroses, heavy cavalry indeed, and that important figure has many human cultivators from Ten Demon Hall accompanying them."

"Such a grand display."

"Oh, and those pig-headed ones were swept aside by the wave of the opposing force’s hand. It’s said those pigs had no sight and dared to provoke another prominent lady, leading the entire camp to be flattened by the Horned Rhinoceroses. When the Wolf Clan cavalry arrived, all that was left was to clean up the dead."

Liu Shan spoke with an expression of satisfaction. "What I intended to do, they did for me. Oh, by the way, I plan to pay a visit tomorrow morning. Are you coming?"

Yang Lin replied, "It’s proper to pay a visit."

"Alright, then we’ll see them together tomorrow morning."

Liu Shan said and stood up, "No need to see me off. Just wanted to inform you."

Yang Lin watched Liu Shan leave and muttered, "Feather Clan important figure." However, Yang Lin didn’t really doubt, for this is a national campaign and the appearance of the Eight Tribes is very common.

Shi Xing naturally followed Li Feng’s instructions and spread some information after entering the camp, serving as a precaution. The Demons in this place heard these messages and treated them as gossip, venting their disdain on those pig-headed beings.

Shi Xing wandered around and upon return, nearly half of the Demons in the camp were aware of the information.

An uneventful night passed.

Early the next morning.

Shi Xing cheerfully entered Li Feng’s tent: "Master, the clan leaders of the two Fengshan tribes have come to pay their respects. In addition, the Chiliarch stationed here and three Chiliarchs from the transport troops have also arrived."

"Would you prefer to invite them in individually or all at once?"

"Since they’re all here, let them come together."

Li Feng knew there was no avoiding this situation. However, he had already discussed and formulated a plan with Sikong Yu last night, and had crafted an identity.

The Feather Clan is a broad term, referring to any within the Demon Country that possess wings and feathers. However, within the Feather Clan, there are ordinary Feather Clans and the royal clan, which is those possessing the Phoenix bloodline.

As the saying goes, "The dragon begets nine offspring, the phoenix engenders nine hatchlings."

The Phoenix bloodline of the Feather Clan also has nine branches. Yet, in the Southern Demon Country, only three branches exist: Fire Phoenix, Green Phoenix, and Ice Phoenix.

Previously at the Molten Lava Volcano, Li Feng and others encountered Feng Feifei from the Ice Phoenix Clan (previously referred to as Ice Phoenix, both names are the same).

"Yes, Master."

Shi Xing turned to relay the message, while Li Feng tidied himself up and sat waiting in the tent. Shortly, Shi Xing lifted the tent curtain.

A few Demons immediately walked in from outside, led by two young men who were tall and straight like swords.

Li Feng immediately recognized the two should be Sheep Clan from the Fengshan tribes. Apart from their unique horns, they had swords at their waists, supposedly made from the previous clan leader’s horns.

Behind these two were individuals from the Mountain-piercing Clan with scale armor on their backs. The remaining three also mostly retained human forms but kept various distinct features of their respective clans.

While Li Feng surveyed them, these people also scrutinized Li Feng.

"I am Yang Lin from Fengshan Left Tribe (Liu Shan from Right Tribe)."

"I am Qiushan from Mountain-piercing Clan... "

Several individuals introduced themselves, and then paid respect to Li Feng. Li Feng acknowledged with a nod, "I am a descendant of the Fire Phoenix Clan of the Feather Clan. My name cannot be uttered aloud, but you may call me Yang."

Fire Phoenix Clan.

The Fengshan tribesmen exchanged glances, among them one furrowed his brow slightly. The Fire Phoenix Clan occupies a rather awkward position within the Demon Country.

Several thousand years ago, an extraordinary genius emerged from the Fire Phoenix Clan, who is now known as the Vermilion Bird. At that time, the Fire Phoenix Clan was second only to the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor’s Dragon Clan, hailed as Dragon King and Phoenix Queen.

However, during the Vermilion Bird’s era, she was rather rebellious, establishing her own domain and became one of the Four Holy Beasts, delivering a severe blow to the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor. It’s for this reason that in the last great war, the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor paid an expensive price to severely wound the Vermilion Bird.

After all, it’s a tale of old personal grudges.
