Li Feng's current decisions are all based on the premise that the Fire Phoenix Clan has actually been suppressed or even eradicated by the Dragon Emperor.
After all, a power struggle is not like inviting guests for a meal where everyone can be polite. If the Dragon Emperor wants to stabilize his current position, he will definitely suppress the Fire Phoenix Clan, and retreating is merely an excuse.
Moreover, it's been a thousand years since the Fire Phoenix Clan disappeared, and apart from the Vermilion Bird still being around, the Fire Phoenix Clan has almost no presence, which is clearly abnormal.
After all, even if they did retreat, would the Fire Phoenix Clan really have no influence on the outside world? Would they quietly watch the Dragon Emperor eradicate their wings without saying a word?
If the Fire Phoenix Clan were truly that naive, it would be impossible for them to continue.
