Somewhere inside the Phoenix Kingdom,

a figure appeared in front of a desolate forest and started walking inside that forest. He was covering his whole body with black attire. His face was hidden inside the hood as he walked inside the forest and some time later he finally arrived in front of a dark cave, where two people were standing at the entrance.

They were both old men who were standing outside the cave with long beards and old wrinkled faces.

They looked at this figure and pointed their swords at him. Seeing this, he halted his movement.

"I want to meet the lord. I have something very urgent to report to him," he said after seeing these two old guards.

But he didn't get any response from them. A moment later, he finally took out a jade slip from his robe and showed it to them.

Seeing that jade slip, they both exchanged glances and gave him the path to enter that cave. The next moment that figure entered the cave.

The cave was deep and a single narrow path was leading inside the cave. It was illuminated by various candles and wooden torches. [a long stick with burning material at one end, used to provide light or to set things on fire.]

Some time later, the man reached the end of the cave where he knelt on his legs as he saw an old man sitting in the lotus position and his whole body was swirling with Qi.

He remained silent while he was on his knees.

Some time later…

"What happened this time?"

That man heard those words and his gaze went in front of him where that old man was sitting earlier but now there was no one.

He gulped as he felt someone standing behind him, probably that old man.

"Lord Nicholas is at war with the Lin clan, he killed Haan and Raaj and now waged war against the Hundred Poison valley sect," that man said, speaking those words with a shaky voice as he was afraid of something.

"Where is my younger son? Is he inside the Divine Blossom sect?"

That man heard those words from behind his back, but he didn't dare to look behind as he stayed on his knees while his gaze was on the ground.

He could feel the killing intent that was coming from behind him.

"No, my lord, young master has gone to the Feng city to meet the lady, Xiao Feng. He didn't participate in this war, as they believe that lord Nicholas is more than enough for the Lin clan," that man responded without looking behind.

"Tch. New generation doesn't know when to stop, very well then. Do you have something else to report to me?" The old man finally appeared at his previous position where he had been sitting a few moments ago.

"Yes, master Nicholas is taking help from the people of the Abyss and no one is helping the Hundred Poison sect after the demise of their leaders," he responded to the old man.

"Very well then, if the leaders of the Lin clan make their move to help the Hundred Poison valley, make sure to inform me," the old man said with a serious gaze before closing his eyes again.

That man bowed to him and nodded his head before leaving the cave.

Meanwhile…

Leon noticed Alena's gaze as she looked at him. Seeing her gaze, Leon took a deep breath as he looked towards Su Lin who was looking at him.

"Good to see you, too. I hope you are treating Alena well," Leon responded to Su Lin.

Hearing those words, cold sweat appeared on Su Lin's face as he looked at old man Lin with a pale face.

"Of course, father. I am treating her very well, you can ask her. Right, Alena?" Su Lin looked at Alena as he said those words.

Alena smiled as she nodded her head.

"Tch, make sure she doesn't cry, otherwise I will find you and make sure you will pay for your crime." The old man gave a threatening look to Su Lin as he said those words.

Yohan wanted to laugh as hard as he could, hearing those words and seeing his father's reaction, but he remained calm as he grabbed Diya's hand tightly to control his laugh.

Diya couldn't believe Yohan as she saw this. She could understand why Yohan made this kind of a face and grabbed her hand.

"Did you see, he hasn't done anything yet and he still is afraid of grandpa, hehe," Yohan whispered in Diya's ear.

Seeing Leon's cold gaze, Su Lin remained silent as he looked towards Yohan and Diya. He looked at Yohan with a threatening look as he noticed that his son was making a face at him. He clearly knew that Yohan wanted to laugh as hard as he could.

"Good to see you both, especially Diya. I am glad that you are fine," Su Lin said as he looked at Yohan and Diya together but he ignored Yohan as he looked at Diya with a smile.

Diya nodded her head in response.

"Good to see you, father," she said to Su Lin in a low voice.

This was the first time she called Su Lin father. Su Lin looked towards Diya as he heard those words and then nodded his head in response.

But suddenly everyone heard a familiar voice and their gaze went towards the entrance.

The old man Lin entered the room and his gaze went towards Su Lin who had finally come back to the Lin clan and joined the rest of his family.

The food was also prepared and everyone took a seat around the dining table, the old man Lin and Leon sitting opposite to each other, while Alena and Su Lin sat beside the old man Lin and Yohan and Diya were sitting together beside Leon.

Yohan was sitting in front of his father, while Diya was sitting in front of Alena as they waited for the servants to serve them food.
