Disccusions and Interruption.

Itachi and Ye Zong were waiting for Gu Yan and Yang Xin, after some time they both arrived.

Yang Xin was the first to open her mouth "My my.. Brother Itachi why didn't you tell sister before hand that you were going to the ancient runes?"

Itachi and Yang Xin had a relationship of brother and sister, maybe because Itachi came in contact with Yang Xin when he was too young, Yang Xin always treated him like a brother, Itachi was also happy to have her as his sister. He had even insisted her to cultivate, but she declined him by saying "the only dream in my life is to become a well known alchemist and to help the people of Glory city, I don't like to fight." Hence Itachi didn't force her to cultivate, if she was happy with that then he would let her be.

After which Itachi had taught Yang Xin about many herbs and their uses, he even gave her many recipes. Due to her potential in alchemy along with the knowledge Itachi taught her, she had become the President of the Association. Gu Yan retired early and gave his position to her, now she was one of the influential figures in Glory city. Even though she became the president, she was still inexperienced in managing the association so Gu Yan still had to be there until she would have enough experience.

Itachi smiled at her and said "Sister Yang I didn't want to keep you worried so I didn't tell you."

"Hmmm seems my little brother as already grown up, seeing as he's worried for his sister" she laughed gently and ruffled his hair.

"President Yang, I think it's better we get to the topic we need to discuss." Said Ye Zong.

As the four started their meeting.

In the Sacred Family's mansion's main hall.

Shen Ming was anxiously waiting for his subordinate, after he heard the rumor that a leader of a dark guild's team was captured, he thought of Yun Hua, so he instantly sent his subordinate to check see if Yun Hua was still in the Star Restaurant. He knew that Shen Hong, the patriarch of his family was the vice-president of the dark guild also Yun Hua was a Deacon of the dark guild and had brought some dark guild members inside Glory City and placed them as citizens under Sacred family's business.

If it was really Yun Hua Deacon that was captured, he didn't know what to do, he could only go to the patriarch who has been cultivating to reach Legend rank. He knows that Shen Hong has a way to eliminate Yun Hua Deacon, so he was waiting for his subordinate to check if it was Yun Hua Deacon that was captured or not.

He didn't know why but things have been going wrong for their family in recent days. 'First, it was the girl from the Winged Dragon Family, she is engaged to Shen Fei yet she is always with that monster and even publicly announced she doesn't acknowledge the engagement, which caused our family to become a laughing stock. Second, Shen Yue was suppose to be with the city lord's daughter, but that little monster also took her. Third, that Nie Li guy is even more hateful, he not only revealed the inscription scam but also humiliated our family in public with the accusation of murder.' Shen Ming was having a headache thinking about this younger generation.

As Shen Ming was currently waiting anxiously, in another courtyard of the Sacred family, Shen Fei was literally burning with rage and hate against Itachi. He had his engagement with Xiao Ning'er, but she is always with Itachi. He had even went to the Winged Dragon family to find her many times but didn't get a single chance as she wasn't living in her courtyard anymore.

He didn't put Itachi in his eyes because he was a student in the genius class, as for Itachi he was just in the fighter class. He also thought that the rumors were exaggerated. He didn't believe Itachi would be able to bet him.

He said in hate "If I cant have something, then no one can have it." A dangerous light flashed in his eyes. He had this engagement done with the help of an elder of the Winged Dragon family. He would destroy her if he can't have her, he went out from his courtyard towards the Winged Dragon family.

In another courtyard, Shen Yue was staring blankly in his room, mumbling "monster…death…"

He was completely traumatized after watching Itachi kill people, it was his first time he saw a person dying, but it wasn't just one, he saw 29 deaths. He felt Itachi didn't show his true strength, because he never used his eyes and his sword skill too, he was just using the basic of it. Those eyes made him feel afraid, his sword skill made his soul freeze, he knew him being alive still now even after offending him was because Itachi was waiting for something and definitely not because he was afraid of the sacred family.

….

In the Divine Family's mansion main hall.

Chen Linjian was ordered to meet the family's patriarch, Chen Zhenlong and the elders.

Chen Linian was questioned about the exploration, mainly the questions revolved around Itachi, he even confessed truthfully about Itachi's eyes and his sword skill. When the patriarch and elders heard about it, they were completely stunned, if it wasn't for Chen Linjian saying it they wouldn't believe that there would be such a sword skill, how can anyone believe when someone say metal can disintegrate itself into petals, they all thought 'no wonder most people think that his strength is exaggerated.'

Similarly in most of the aristocratic and noble families who had their members in the exploration group were questioned and they too were dumbfounded hearing their words.

….

In the City Lord's courtyard.

Itachi lifted his genjutsu on Yun Hua Deacon after which he woke, he glared at Itachi with anger. He still didn't understand how his team was annihilated nor did he understand how he was captured. He felt like he was in a dream, a dream with beautiful petals but with horror of death.

Itachi glared back at him and said "Well, I'll give you a chance to tell everything you know about the dark guild and the sacred family. If not I don't mind searching it for myself."

Yun Hua Deacon felt his blood going cold, he was once again stunned by his words. 'How does this kid know about all these, even the City Lord doesn't know these' he thought and turned to look at the people in the room. He was truly scared when he saw the City Lord himself was present and was looking at him with anger all over his face.

'it's all over' he thought. He didn't want to die but he couldn't say anything too. But even if he didn't say he had a hunch that this kid would be able to know everything he wants, even so he didn't want to talk instead he wanted to retort against the accusation.

Just as he was about to speak, an old man entered the room. Looking at the old man, Ye Zing asked with a tone of threat "Shen Hong, what're you doing here? Who gave you the permission to walk in to the room?"

As soon as Itachi found out the old man was Shen Hong, he activated his Sharingan and used body flicker and instantly held both the arms of the old man without letting him do any seals and shouted to Ye Zong "Take him away from here, don't let any of the sacred family members near him, I'll take care of this old man."

Itachi also said to Yun Hua "if I was a bit slower you would be dead, I don't mind you being dead. But you better use the chance I gave you, if not I don't mind killing you by myself, after I use all my methods on you to get the information I want."

Ye Zong and the others were stunned, they had heard about his eyes looking at them, they really felt fear. The speed which Itachi showed was even faster than Ye Zong, Ye Zong came back to his senses after he heard Itachi's words and took Yun Hua with him to another courtyard, Gu Yan and Yang Xin also followed him.

Yun Hua saw his eyes and he was deeply afraid, he knew that Shen Hong was here to kill him so as to keep the collaboration between the sacred family and the dark guild a secret. He was ready to die when he saw Shen Hong, but seeing that the monster didn't even allow him to die, he knew if he didn't tell everything, he would definitely would have to experience that monster's methods. His body started trembling at just the thought of it.
