Finally, the center Great Elder said, "Young master Lin, I'm sure that whatever misunderstandings there are between you and the Red Phoenix Tribe, they can be settled peacefully."

The two other Great Elders nodded in agreement to this before trying to mediate between Lin Fan and the Red Phoenix Tribe.

However, Lin Fan clearly wasn't listening.

He just stood there with a calm smile on his face, almost as if he couldn't hear what these Great Elders were saying.

Seeing this, the expressions on the Great Elders' faces turned more and more bitter.

Finally, Lin Fan said, "I'm not here for any misunderstandings. I just want to ask the leaders of the Red Phoenix Tribe a few questions. Nothing more, nothing less."

The Great Elders and the elders all revealed ugly expressions, but in the end, they had no choice but to agree to Lin Fan's request.

When it came down to it, between the Red Phoenix Tribe and Lin Fan…Lin Fan was more important. Even though the Red Phoenix Tribe was a part of their Phoenix Race, the prophecy was something that their ancestor had left behind and was something that they had followed for countless generations.

It was something that went beyond a faith, it was almost a cult level belief in the prophecy.

This was the case for the Dragon Race as well…

So when it came to the Void God's successor, they might even give up part of their own flesh to satisfy him.

But of course, Lin Fan didn't know any of this.

He didn't know just how deep their faith in the prophecy was.

Since they had agreed, they didn't waste any time in bringing Lin Fan to the Red Phoenix Tribe.

Normally, they would have had to send a messenger first and prepare everything on the Red Phoenix Tribe side, but Lin Fan was being very insistent on meeting them as soon as possible. So they had no choice but to send one of the Great Elders to bring Lin Fan there to make up for this.

With the Great Elder there, everything would be explained and they would be able to keep everything secret.

At the same time, sending the Great Elder would justify sending the elite guards to clear the path and make sure that no one interfered.

While this might cause some confusion and panic, it was still better than the alternative.

When they arrived at the Red Phoenix Tribe, there wasn't a single person around.

The entire Red Phoenix Tribe had been cleared out by the Phoenix Race elite guards.

The only ones that were still left here were all in the manor of the head and were the ones that Lin Fan wanted to meet. So they couldn't go anywhere even if they wanted to run away.

After all, all they had heard was that one of the Great Elders was coming.

They didn't know what the reason was, but one of the Great Elders moving was not a small thing. If it was serious, it was very likely that the entire hierarchy of the Red Phoenix Tribe would change today.

So naturally the ones that were waiting were very nervous.

When they arrived in the room, they found that there were two people waiting for them.

One of them was in the Ruler Realm while the other was just a young boy who wasn't even in the World Realm yet. However, this young boy was allowed to sit right beside the man in the Ruler Realm, which meant that he was someone who held a powerful position in the Red Phoenix Tribe.

But it was strange since he was just a young boy who had a weak cultivation.

After the Great Elder entered the room, both the man and the young boy stood up to greet that Great Elder. Both of them bowed to this Great Elder and remained standing, waiting for the Great Elder to sit first.

However, the Great Elder didn't sit down, so everyone had to remain standing in the end.

The Great Elder ignored the two of them and turned to look at Lin Fan who had put on his cloak. While the Great Elder didn't know why Lin Fan put this cloak on, he chose not to question it.

After they entered the room, the Great Elder invited Lin Fan to sit down which shocked both the man and the young boy.

They couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with confused and curious looks as they wondered just who this person was.

Lin Fan accepted the Great Elder's invitation and sat down before the Great Elder also sat down.

Seeing that the Great Elder sat down, the man and the young boy also finally sat down.

There was a silence that filled the room after they were all seated as no one said a single word. For the man and the young boy, they didn't dare start the conversation and for the Great Elder, he was waiting for Lin Fan to speak first.

But seeing that Lin Fan didn't say anything in the end, the Great Elder finally said to the man and young boy, "Why don't you introduce yourselves to our guest here?"

The man and the young boy were both taken aback when they heard this.

They could hear the polite tone in the Great Elder's voice as he said this.

Just who was this cloaked figure that he could even get the Great Elder to speak in such a polite tone?

Still, they didn't dare ask these questions out loud and they introduced themselves.

The man was Feng Huang and the young boy was Feng Tian. Feng Huang was the head of the Red Phoenix Tribe, so he was Feng Ling's father and Feng Tian was the young master of the Red Phoenix Tribe…so he should be Feng Ling's son.

This was the son that she had left behind so that she could gain her freedom.

The fact that he was here meant that he had obtained quite a bit of power in the Red Phoenix Tribe…and at the same time, he should have hated Feng Ling because she left him here in the Red Phoenix Tribe.

If Lin Fan had to guess who was responsible for sending the envoy, his first guess would have been Feng Huang. But now that he had met Feng Ling and learned that Feng Ling was in a position of power like this, his first guess changed to Feng Ling.

After they introduced themselves, the Great Elder turned to Lin Fan and waited for him to say something.

He had even taken the lead to open this up which was him taking a step back with his position. If he were to go any further…then it would seem like he was putting himself down and he couldn't allow that to happen as the Great Elder of the Phoenix Race.

Of course, Lin Fan didn't want to put the Great Elder in that position in the first place.

The Great Elders and the other elders had been quite helpful so far, so he didn't want to cause trouble for the Great Elder and the Phoenix Race.

Lin Fan took out a token that he placed on the table before saying, "I am from the Lin Astral Empire and I want to discuss a few things with you."

Feng Huang and Feng Tian looked at the token on the table and recognized that this thing was indeed the token of the Lin Astral Family.

But when they recognized this token, they couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with strange looks. They never would have thought that this cloaked figure that even the Great Elder was showing respect to was someone from the Lin Astral Empire.

After all, the Lin Astral Empire was just a normal Astral Empire of the human race. It shouldn't have enough influence that the Great Elder would act this respectful to an envoy from them.

So they couldn't help feeling very confused about this situation.

As for why the Lin Astral Empire would send someone here, they weren't confused at all since they immediately knew what he was here for.

It was the envoy that they had sent not that long ago.

This was an envoy that had been sent with the permission of both Feng Huang and Feng Tian, so of course they would know about this. It was also one that had been sent after they had gotten permission from the elders, so they didn't think that there would be anything wrong with it.

But now…

With how the Great Elder was treating Lin Fan, it wasn't as if they could put on a strong stance or else they would risk offending the Great Elder.

So the only thing that they could do was…

Feng Huang revealed a smile and asked, "This friend, please tell us what you want to discuss."

They could only try to act friendly with Lin Fan and hope that it wasn't anything serious.

Lin Fan had a calm tone to his voice before, but then that voice became serious as he asked, "May I ask just what the Red Phoenix Tribe meant by sending that envoy and making those demands of our Lin Astral Empire."

As soon as he said this, both Feng Huang and Feng Tian knew that this situation was bad for them.

Just based on the way that he worded his sentence and the tone that he took when he said it, it was clear that he wasn't here just for a simple explanation…

He was most likely here to cause trouble for them.
