Chapter 225 - 225. The Roots. (2/2)

”Wow what a coincidence that totally has nothing to do with me. It must be my lucky day.” I give them my most sincere look that they totally believe and don't doubt me at all.

In all this confusion I killed off a few young masters that might be trouble for me later and got rid of the bodies.

”I'm going to free a cursed clan now your welcome to come along for the ride as its pretty far away and company is always welcome.” she nods her head absent-mindedly not knowing how to process what just happened.

We hop on top of her bird mount and fly off towards the direction of ten thousand beast mountains. Along the way I eliminate the group of slave dealers in the area that have been causing problems.

We finally arrive at the clan. Everyone only has the lowest elementary profound cultivation. This is punishment for a crime their ancestors committed long ago. I always hated when people punished the innocent like this. especially the Phoenix who is supposed to be a bird of kindness.

The clan elder comes out to greet me nervously as the beast we rode in on alone could wipe out the village easily.

”May I ask why the esteemed guests have come to our tiny village?” he asks politely.

”I've come to take the test in the mountain cave you guys watch over and free you from that stupid curse you've gotten.”

he looks shocked as they had been hidden for many years without anyone knowing about their curse.

”in exchange I want your village to join my Kingdom and become my people what do you say?” I ask.

”If you can really free us then we would gladly join you but no one in hundreds of years has been able to pass the test.” he looks over to the mountain cave.

”Well let's get this over with.” I start walking towards the cave with a confused princess and an eager village leader following me.

The leader presses some flames against a mark on the cave wall and the shield opens up letting us in. There's a stone door inside and I make my way over quickly entering it.

In front of me pops a giant pair of eyes. ”Welcome to the test of the Phoenix mort....” My chains shoot out wrapping around the giant spirit phoenix and suck it into the kingdom.

The door that had closed behind me opens back up but I give the cave a quick once over before seeing there is nothing inside it.

I walk back outside with the two giving me a strange face probably thinking I failed. A flame appears on my finger and I press it against the village chiefs phoenix mark and his curse breaks instantly.

”Just got to do this for the rest of the village and you'll be free to join me.” I say walking past them.
