Chapter 65

Itachi realized that the Phoenix didn't want to tell him any information about why it had lured him to this trial. He also knew that it was useless to try to go back there. After all, even though the Phoenix used almost all of its Blood Essence and gave a part of its soul to Itachi, it was still the remnant of a creature above this Planet.

Feng Baichuan, who spotted Itachi coming out of the trial, opened a massive smile on his face and asked: "So, how did you do?"

Hearing that question and the smile on Feng Baichuan's face, Itachi realized that he wanted to please him, most likely to find out if removing the curse from his clan was possible.

"Don't worry. I can remove the curse from your clan." Itachi said calmly.

After the Phoenix placed this egg in his universe, he realized he could easily remove the curse from which this small clan was suffering. And since the clan of this small village received him in a receptive manner, it wouldn't hurt to do a good deed, especially when he might receive help from this clan in the future.

Feng Baichuan never expected Itachi to solve the problem of his clan's curse. He thought Itachi would say a few comforting words, but he never hoped that he could rid his people of this curse that had plagued them for hundreds of years.

"In this case, I must thank the benefactor. And I can promise that contact that the benefactor needs our clan will be there." Feng Baichuan said as he bowed deeply to Itachi.

Feng Baichuan thought about kneeling and swearing allegiance but felt that might anger Itachi, who seemed reserved with his actions.

Nodding his head, Itachi began to retreat from the small village without saying goodbye to any person. To him, this place was just a passing thing that might be useful in the future, so there would be no sense in making too close ties with the people of this place.

In the sky, Itachi looked at the small village, and with a wave of his hand, a kind of flame flew from his body to the small town. The flame that initially contained the size of a marble grew until it became more extensive than the entire village.

The clan leader had informed him that all the people of the village were in their homes, so Itachi decided that this was the best time to remove the curse from this clan.

The flames he had cast on the village did not contain any destructive power. It was only a flame that could remove the curse. This was something he obtained when he felt the egg entering his Universe.

Thanks to the Phoenix Egg, he could use some of its flames, at least for now. For this reason, it was easy to remove such a curse.

Nobody in the small village seemed to notice the flames covering them, but after a few hours, the first person to find out that the curse was gone shouted, waking up all the people in the small village. And when all the people in the town found out that the curse was gone, they all ran towards the Clan Leader's house.

Feng Baichuan, who saw the crowd at the door of his house, had a bitter smile. He would have a long day of explaining.

...

From a distance, Itachi watched the small village that was now bustling and full of celebration.

"Even though you didn't want to bond with this small clan, you helped them..." Jasmine's voice sounded in his mind.

"..."

In response, Itachi just continued watching the small village quietly.

"You even used some of that Universe energy from your body to help such a clan that you won't even have a connection with in the future..."

Jasmine's voice continued to sound in Itachi's mind.

"If I remove the curse from this clan, they most likely won't survive for more than ten years. That's because the Phoenix remnant will likely be gone in ten years due to your actions in the trial." Itachi said calmly.

She realized that no matter how much Itachi tried to disguise or hide it, he was still a kind person.

"He's like my brother..." She thought sadly as she looked at Itachi sitting watching the small village.

...

Initially, Itachi had intended to return to the sect after settling his affairs. Still, just as he was about to do so, his mother sent him a voice transmission telling him to buy a Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal for Chu Yuechan.

At first, he was confused as to why Chu Yuechan needed a Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal, but after thinking about it for a while longer, he realized that it must be to treat some poison that she must have contracted in her body. He remembers reading something like that in a book.

Itachi was surprised that his mother asked him to buy the Devil's, Flaming Blood Crystal. After all, the sect could probably get it with his current strength.

But he did not expect the answer his mother would give him.

"Heavenly Sword Villa recently started taking over all the trades in the Blue Wind Empire, except for the Black Moon Merchant Guild. For this reason, we cannot acquire the Devil's Flaming Blood Crystal. And since you are the only person outside the sect right now, you are naturally the best person for this mission." Gong Yuxian said.

It was possible to notice a touch of happiness in his tone as if he was happy that Itachi could interact more with Chu Yuechan.

"Sigh..."

With a slight sigh, Itachi diverted his route and headed towards the Black Moon Merchant Guild. He hoped that Black Moon Merchant Guild would have the Crystal for sale. Otherwise, Chu Yuechan might have trouble with the poison.

"I just hope nothing abnormal happens..." He thought.
