Ice Phoenix was located in between two mountain peaks. The entire clan is covered in snow. The outer walls are white in color and guards could be seen at regular intervals.
A lake was present in the middle of the clan, which used to temper the younger generation of the clan.
The freezing climate helps ice phoenix bloodline user to cultivate faster.
Today, a long row of horses were moving towards the clan. They were from fire phoenix, they came here for the clan tournament which is in two days.
Lloyd was in the front of the group, he was surprised seeing the ice phoenix clan. He saw it before but that was previous Lloyd. This was the first time, he was seeing with his own eyes.
The snow looked fluffy like clouds and as the clan rests on it and sun behind it caused a beautiful scenery. One could be lost seeing it.
Seeing his son was lost in thought seeing ice phoenix clan, Alder asked, "Lloyd, how is it? It's been years since you been here right"
The climate of ice phoenix clan is freezing. Mortals will be frozen to death in minutes. Previously he couldn't cultivate so stay here. So, he only came once when he was little.
"yes, it's beautiful," Lloyd said while looking at the scenery and was mesmerized.
Just as they were reaching the gates, Lloyd saw his mother waving at them. There was another person with his mother.
As he looked at the person, Lloyd recognized him immediately. He was his little brother Leland Fenix. He was 12 years old.
Leland has a small eye with small eyebrows. He had a black hair with a gentle touch of blue in them. He had a lean body with slender arms and legs.
If he was a girl, he would be a world class loli.
Seeing Leland, Derek dismounted his horse and rushed towards him and gave him a bear guy. Leland was a head shorter than Derek.
Seeing them hug, everything disappeared from Lloyd's view. Only Derek and Leland hugging in the snow appeared before him.
'if I had a camera, I could have taken a picture and sold it saying a man and loli hugging in the snow. It will sell out instantly and become rich or maybe I should to Kalea saying that it is Derek's illegal relationship. She will absolutely believe it' Lloyd thought.
"brother, release me. I am suffocating" Leland said while slowly hitting Derek on his shoulder with his hands.
"ha ha.. sorry, I was too happy to see you," Derek said with a sweet smile on his face.
When Lloyd looked carefully at Leland, he found that he was at origin 5th stage.
Become origin stage cultivator at the age of 12 is a genius. Then what should Leland be called being origin 5th stage?
Lower range cultivators can't sense the level of high-level cultivators. Lloyd is currently hiding his level so nobody below sky stage can see his cultivation.
Among the people here, only his father could tell what his cultivation is.
As Lloyd and Alder reached the gates. Both Derek and Leland were laughing.
Lloyd greeted his mother and little brother and asked, "Leland, how are you doing?"
"big brother Lloyd, I heard that you can cultivate?" Leland said while he left Derek and came forward to Lloyd.
"yes, I awaken the fire phoenix bloodline" Lloyd as he imitated fire phoenix bloodlines aura.
"brother, now you can participate in the tournament and us brothers will conquer the first three ranks," Leland said with excitement.
"Leland, take them to their rooms, they must be tired from their journey. I have something to discuss with your father" Esvele said to Leland.
"yes, mother," Leland said.
Lloyd and Derek went with Leland as he talked about his life in the clan. He also asked about Kalea.
Seeing her sons moved sufficient distance away. Esvele turned towards Alder. Her smiling face changed and there was anger in them.
"what is this about a bet I am hearing?" Esvele asked.
"This...." Hearing his wife, there was a shudder in his voice. He made a decision without asking Esvele. He was truly afraid.
Lloyd heard his mother and thought, 'what the hell did dad bet for? even angering mother'
Esvele only considered her sons being origin stage but Lloyd is at earth stage and his sense are far more superior than the senses of Derek and Leland so he heard them.
