There was a sudden gust of wind that was raised in the hall and then that wind gathered in the air above great elder Gao, creating a ball of wind that eventually scattered to reveal a person floating there.

However, that person didn't remain floating for long before he landed right by great elder Gao.

​​

Everyone was silent as they waited for this person to act. During this time, Lin Fan looked over that person.

That person was a middle aged man with clothes weaved from fine cloth to form a white tuxedo, with a white cape on his back. The man himself had wind swept back brown hair and green eyes that had a strange glow to them.

While everyone watched, that mysterious person slowly raised a hand before suddenly slapping great elder Gao across the face, sending him to the ground.

But what was even more shocking was that great elder Gao didn't dare resist at all, rather he took the slap before kneeling down in front of that person.

Finally, that person spoke. His voice was soft as the wind, but still it reached everyone's ears, "This was a simple job, yet you managed to still mess it up this much. Is there a need to keep trash like you?"

Great elder Gao didn't dare raise his head as he said, "Lord Feng, this lowly understands that it is this lowly one's fault. But please, on account of all this lowly one's merits, please forgive this lowly one. This lowly one didn't expect him to be that strong."

The person called Lord Feng turned over to Lin Fan and narrowed his eyes, sweeping over him with his spiritual sense. After a minute, Lord Feng suddenly opened his eyes in surprise as he said, "This kid really has an interesting physique. He's clearly only in the Gold Realm, but I can't penetrate him even with my spiritual senses. It's like he's completely made of steel."

It was like great elder Gao had seen a straw to grasp as he quickly raised his head, "Lord Feng, you can also see that he isn't normal…"

But Lord Feng cut him right off as he stepped down on the raised head, pushing it right back into the ground as he said, "But it isn't anything special that should have ruined the plan. In the end, this is your mistake and I'm here to clean it up."

Lord Feng looked over the rest of the elders before turning over to Gao Zhuang and saying, "I told you to deal with this piece of trash and yet here he is standing in front of us, defying us. If you had taken care of him like I told you, none of this would have happened."

None of the elders dared to say a thing as they all quickly bowed down.

Lin Fan could tell that this Lord Feng wasn't normal since he couldn't see through him with his spiritual senses at all. There were only two possibilities, this Lord Feng was either cultivating a special technique or he was at least in the Platinum Realm!

Lord Feng finally turned back to Lin Fan, but surprisingly he revealed a faint smile, "I've heard about you before. I know that you're a bit strong, but you really have no idea what you're dabbling with. Even if your master is strong and has some connection to Lord Mu, you're still not someone who can survive in this city without a backing. Therefore, I suggest you come under my Feng Family and work for me."

Lin Fan looked back at him with a smile as well as he said, "Ho, so what can the Feng Family offer me?"

Lord Feng's smile became wider, "You're a smart one, I like dealing with smart people." Then he paused to look down at great elder Gao to step on his head again before turning back to Lin Fan, "Unlike this piece of trash."

Then Lord Feng changed his tone as he said in a sincere voice, "I can tell that you are a talented young man and you have quite the special inheritance, so I will take you on as my personal subordinate. As long as you follow me, I can guarantee that no one in this city will mess with you."

Lin Fan just nodded like he was considering it, but he didn't say a thing.

Lord Feng could tell that his words were convincing Lin Fan, so he continued, "You should know that our Feng Family is one of the four royal families of Wind Snow City. Once you join us, we'll be strong enough to take down the other three families and rule over Wind Snow City."

While there were over a hundred different noble families in Wind Snow City, there were only indeed four royal families since Platinum Realm Experts weren't that abundant. But these families had existed for hundreds of years, so it wasn't hard for them to have several Platinum Realm Experts in them.

Lord Feng had already heard the various rumours and after hearing great elder Gao's report on the shop, he learned that this shop had a Master Trainer in it. None of the other families had a Master Trainer affiliated to them, so as long as their Feng Family received this Master Trainer, they would be able to jump over the other families.

This was a shop that was personally recommended by Lord Mu, so that meant that the expert behind it was at least in the Platinum Realm. A Platinum Realm Master Trainer, as long as they worked with this expert, they might even have a chance to train a King Beast and bring the Feng Family to another level!

Lin Fan continued nodding like he was considering it, but then he suddenly stopped and looked back at Lord Feng as he said, "But what if I don't want to work for your Feng Family?"

At this, Lord Feng's smile froze and then he narrowed his eyes, "You think you have a choice in this matter? You will work for the Feng Family one way or another, it's better if you make the right choice now."

But Lin Fan just gave a shrug, "Compared to working with you, I'd rather work with the Beast Clan."

A vein popped out on Lord Feng's head as he said in a slow and deep voice, "You will pay for your insolence."

Once his voice fell, white life energy was released as the wind began picking up. Like his name, Lord Feng's cultivation technique focused on controlling wind.

As the wind picked up, strands of wind began forming around Lin Fan, picking him up off the ground.

Lin Fan had never experienced the might of a Platinum Realm Expert before, but feeling it now, he could tell that it wasn't simple.

Legendary Realm Experts were those that could control the laws of the world and Platinum Realm Experts being at the peak of humanity had a foot into the power of laws.

Lin Fan could feel the restraining power of the laws contained within Lord Feng's wind. No matter how much he tried to resist with his body, he couldn't break free of the restraining powers at all.

Lin Fan could tell just from the tiny sliver of laws contained inside this wind cage that laws were things of absolute power. When he went back, he really should ask Momonga about laws. He didn't choose to ask Angela because she really did have a one track mind.

Since Lin Fan had no other choice, he had to reveal his trump card.

With a single thought command, Xiao Huo suddenly burst into white flames and transformed once again, changing from the meter long phoenix into a meter and a half long phoenix.

But it was different this time since Xiao Huo was completely clad in white flames, flames made of white life energy.

Xiao Huo burst forth and came to Lin Fan's back, releasing white flames that burned away the wisps of wind surrounding Lin Fan the moment they came into contact.

Once all the wisps of wind had been burned off, Lin Fan slowly fell onto the ground with Xiao Huo flapping his wings on his back.

All around them, there was only silence.

Even Lord Feng had a look of surprise as he looked at Xiao Huo.

This phoenix was actually in the Platinum Realm!
