Bab 61: Chapter 61
The road to the small village was relatively smooth, and the two children seemed very happy that Itachi had agreed to help their small village.
Outside the small village, there were a few people and the main characteristic of them was precisely the same brand as the two children, Itachi realized that this small village must-have Phoenix heritage.
But while thinking this, he realized that something seemed to have happened, after all the Phoenix should be a very powerful Mythical Beast, so how could its descendants be so weak? Also, the 'being' that was watching him seemed to be the Phoenix itself, so why wasn't it helping its descendants? These were the many questions Itachi had in mind.
The people standing at the door of the small village seemed to have recognized the two children and soon after that a man and a woman came running towards the trio while hugging the two children with tears in their eyes.
Itachi who looked at this scene couldn't help but have his heart warm-up, he knew that family was the most precious possession for any person, and he was no exception.
Looking at the surroundings, he found that there was some kind of divine aura in the small village, which made him even more sure that this small village was not ordinary, and that something must have happened for everyone to have the same level of cultivation.
The two children that Itachi rescued told the adults that Itachi had rescued them from the hands of the three kidnappers, and this made the surrounding adults look shocked at Itachi. You have to know that in this isolated area, the mercenaries were kings, but according to the children's words, they were nothing before this beautiful young man who had fallen from the sky. The children also said that Itachi would help them repel the mercenaries, and Itachi just nodded when he saw the adults' gaze in his direction.
The middle-aged man who was hugging the two children stood up and stepped forward as he bowed deeply to Itachi and declared as sincerely as possible.
"Sir, thank you for saving my son and daughter. I don't know how to repay you... besides you still intend to stay here to deal with the mercenaries, even if I gave you my life it still wouldn't be enough to repay your kindness... by the way my name is Feng Baichuan and I am the current leader of the clan."
Itachi shook his head in signal for the man to stand up, dealing with some mercenaries was not a problem for someone like him.
...
After thanking Itachi a few more times, Feng Baichuan took Itachi to one of the huts that were in the village.
"Sorry for this low hospitality, but it's just that our village is really poor..." Feng Baichuan said with a touch of shame in his speech.
"It's okay, I don't mind."
The hut where Itachi was was the largest in the small village if you didn't count the Clan Leader's hut, so there was no point in complaining about this hospitality especially when the other party is sincere.
Feng Baichuan asked Itachi to rest until the mercenaries returned and after saying these words he went to deal with the clan affairs and also to see again his son and daughter who he thought were already dead.
Sitting on the bed that was reserved for him, Itachi began to think about what Jasmine told him on the way to the small village.
"Essence of the Phoenix!"
Jasmine told him that this mark only appears on the user's forehead once the user has used the Phoenix powers, but it seems that people in this place have them all the time. Something that even Jasmine couldn't say precisely why.
Itachi was grateful that she shared some knowledge with him, but he also knew that if he wanted more information he would have to talk to Feng Baichuan. So without wasting much time he left his hut to look for him.
And Itachi didn't have to look for long, for he soon found the clan leader who took him into a room so they could talk.
"Benefactor, how can I be of service?" Feng Baichuan asked in a respectful tone.
Seeing Feng Baichuan's expression, Itachi nodded and said, "Your clan guards the Phoenix Ruins in this location, am I right?"
After saying those words, Itachi could see Feng Baichuan's expression freeze, and before his eyes, he saw his expression change dozens of times, as if he was thinking of a way to avoid or even deny the question, but when Feng Baichuan's eyes met Itachi's, he realized that it was useless to lie.
"We are the guardians of this place, actually our ancestors made mistakes in the past, and because of that we were cursed for all eternity..."
Hearing Feng Baichuan's answer and then looking at the mark he had on his forehead, Itachi nodded, that was a plausible explanation, besides, the man in front of him had nothing to gain by lying to Itachi. Besides Jasmine in her head said that this could be true, even if she has never seen it happen where she comes from.
"Does the Benefactor also have an interest in trying to obtain the 'treasure' we are guarding?" Feng Baichuan asked.
Itachi shook his head in denial, he just wanted to take a look at the 'treasure'. He had no interest in stealing anything from anyone.
Feng Baichuan seemed relieved that Itachi had no interest in the 'treasure' that his clan keeps under lock and key.
"If I am not mistaken, there is a phoenix remnant in this place correct? And for this reason, your clan continues to exist until the present moment, after all, this area has dozens of Profound Beasts with the cultivation of the Profound Sky Realm." Itachi said calmly.
His words earned him a surprised look from Feng Baichuan, who had not expected the young man in front of him to be so intelligent.
"The benefactor is tremendously right, the Profound Beasts dare not approach because of the Phoenix Divine Essence." Feng Baichuan said in a respectful tone.
Getting all the answers he wanted, Itachi bid farewell to the clan leader and slowly returned to his hut. He would wait for the mercenaries to arrive in the village, and once he dealt with the mercenaries, he would ask the clan leader to let him check the place where the Phoenix Essence remnant was.
