CHAPTER 440 LEAVING OF DORIS

"It's the Phoenix tribe!" Ricky exclaimed in amazement. His face changed into something serious upon

hearing what Zenith had just said.

Being with Soar, one of the Great Dragons, for a long time, made him very much aware on how

powerful the Phoenix tribe was.

Long ago, the world was created along with the millions of immortals, devils, and the legendary

overmatches. The overmatches housed the four most powerful mythical creatures--the Azure Dragon,

the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.

And up until this very day, all kinds of Great Dragons that could be seen on earth were direct

descendants of the Azure Dragon.

On the other hand, the Phoenix originated from the Vermilion Bird. It was no question that the

Phoenix's power was the strongest and most ferocious among the forces in the whole of the Misty

South, and that was why they were to be feared by all the people in the area.

"Chief, I have heard about the Phoenix tribe," Ricky said.

"And since you have already heard a thing or two about them, I think you already know that they are

one of the most dominant clans in the Misty South," Zenith said. "Now you would understand why I am

worrying this much, right?"

"Chief, I understand," Ricky said in a low voice.

"Ahh. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was training. I remember this time when I was training

outside with Grace's father. He couldn't keep his eyes away from this beautiful woman who we met

there. And as the three of us trained hard and hoped to become superior warriors, the two of them fell

deeply in love. It was not long after that the woman gave birth to Grace... and the rest was history,"

Zenith dug in his brain as he recalled how Grace's parents met.

"But when after Grace was born, her mother reached out to us and told us about her real identity. She

said that she was a descendant of the Phoenix tribe. She just had to tell us the truth before she

surrendered herself to her family alone. As bitter as it might seem, she did this to protect Grace and her

husband from the Phoenix tribe.

Of course we all thought that everything would be fine after that incident. But only a year ago, the

people of the Phoenix tribe resurfaced and abducted Grace's father."

"What for? They are already out of the question and the situation. Why even bother?" Ricky asked with

confusion running through his face.

"I don't know and I have never really thought about why. But it doesn't stop there. The tribe also

attempted to kidnap Grace but they left her after they found out that she did not possess any trace of

the tribe's unique blood power in her," Zenith answered.

"But as far as I know, Grace has already awakened the blood power of the Phoenix that slept in her

veins. After all this time...now this means trouble for her! Luckily, she has not fully awakened the blood

power. If so, this would definitely cause the resonance of the overmatches of the Phoenix tribe.

But there is nothing we could do as of this moment because we don't stand a chance against the

Phoenix tribe. We are no match for them."

"The Phoenix tribe..." Ricky said as he gnashed his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Hey there. Not so fast. Calm down, we cannot let Grace know about this, or she will go to the Phoenix

tribe alone for her parents. We can't risk that," Zenith warned him, seeing Ricky oozing a murderous

intent.

"Chief, don't worry, I'm calm... I got this," Ricky nodded and said to reassure the worried Chief.

"But Chief, do we have any other option? Are we going to wait for those overmatches of the Phoenix

tribe to find that?" Ricky frustratingly asked.

"I can't think of anything as of this moment. Unless... we can stop the awakening of Grace's blood, but

unfortunately, I don't have that kind of power," Zenith said. "But I have a plan. I want you and Grace to

leave the Realm of Wildness as soon as possible.

Let's take advantage of your training. Since you are still training, you can't stay in one place for far too

long. This would make you untraceable even if the overmatches of the Phoenix tribe sense Grace's

existence nearby."

'Oh, is that so?' Ricky thought to himself.

Then, a person suddenly popped into Ricky's mind--Doris. He thought that maybe Doris' power could

give Grace's blood power a pause to its awakening.

"Arrange all your unfinished business in the Misty South Palace. Soon after, leave the Realm of

Wildness with Grace and Soar. I will help you with anything you need, and I will also help you to

arrange the affairs of the Misty South Palace after you leave," Zenith said.

"Thank you, Chief," Ricky nodded.

"Remember to keep it mum about her real identity and blood power!" Zenith warned him once again.

Ricky, without wasting any time, hurriedly went back to the grand palace that Zenith had built for him.

He then immediately connected with Doris to ask her for help.

Soon, a small airship arrived at his palace soon, but only Tina came out of it alone.

"Oh, Tina, why are you alone? And where is Doris?" Ricky asked as he could not believe that Doris, the

one he needed most, was not there.

"Something happened in my clan and Doris had to go back and deal with the matter. That's why I'm the

only one left to deal with you," Tina said. "Do you have something really important to tell her?"

"She went back!" Ricky blurted out as he could not contain the news any longer.

He was not going to conceal anything from Tina and he told her what Grace was up to.

"I'm quite surprised that you have a companion from the Phoenix tribe. We both know that Grace's real

identity could not be revealed. If this happens, then the blood of the Phoenix tribe inside her could be

removed. And if this happens, Grace's efforts for the whole of the martial arts world would all be in vain.

We don't want that to happen, now do we?" Tina also said in a serious tone.

"When will Doris be back?" Ricky asked impatiently.

"Not soon, I think," Tina replied. "Even if Doris comes back, there's still a chance that she won't help

suppress the blood power of the Phoenix inside Grace's body."

"Why? So, you're saying that she can't do it? Like she doesn't have the skill to do so?" Ricky asked in a

low voice. copyrighted © content.

"I didn't say that she can't. Of course she is very much capable of doing that. But knowing her, she

would still choose not to," Tina explained. "Because the blood power of the Phoenix is as noble as the

Great Dragon's blood power, if Doris suppresses power, it must revolt it, and then it will cause the

resonance of the overmatches of the Phoenix tribe much more earlier."

"I see." Hearing Tina's words, Ricky was discouraged.

"Looks like we have to leave the Realm of Wildness after all."

Ricky looked outside the palace and muttered.

"Ricky, please let me go with you. I need your help," Tina spoke to him shyly.

"Okay, Tina. But I need you to do one thing for me. Hide for a while until we are ready to leave. Can

you do that for me?" Ricky responded.

"Okay, I understand. Clear as crystal!" Tina nodded as her eyes glistened with excitement.

Then Tina passed a white ball to Ricky. Ricky raised his eyebrows as he sensed a great energy

fluctuation from the white ball Tina gave her.

"Tina, what in the world is this?" Ricky asked.

"This is the energy that Doris left you to help you break away from the Shadow King of the Endless

Shadow," Tina said. "According to Doris, the Shadow King of the Endless Shadow is a powerful

existence even among the upper spiritual kings. The Chief of your Snow Sect, Zenith, might not even

be able to defeat him even if he has become an upper spiritual king."

"Wow, Doris is so thoughtful," Ricky said as he took the white ball with much appreciation.

"Ricky, Doris also said that this energy ball is not powerful enough to help you kill the Shadow King. But

you could use this to make him suffer and weaken his power," Tina added.

"Tina, I understand what Doris meant. Thank you. Don't worry, I'll take care of the Shadow King by

myself, after all he is my own enemy," Ricky nodded and said.

"I'm glad you understood everything," Tina replied.

After talking for a little while, Tina went back inside the airship to hide until Ricky and the others were

ready to leave with her.

"Let me take a rest, and it's time to leave the Realm of Wildness," Ricky said to himself.

After all the planning that Ricky had done, Ricky still worried about one thing in the Realm of Wildness--

he could not find his father and there was no news about him. Zenith, on the other hand, had already

helped him search for his father. But unfortunately, he still got nothing.

'Father, have you already left the Realm of Wildness? I haven't seen you in ages! The thing is, I don't

even know when I'll be back to meet you after I leave this place. I hope you're okay. I hope we meet

soon, ' Ricky said to himself as he had his heart on his chest and wished his father's safety.
