Chapter 50

Currently, Itachi was flying side by side with Chu Yuechan.

Both of them didn't speak to each other during the entire flight Itachi was wondering how things ended up this way? First, he found a way to improve the sect greatly, and when he was going to talk to his mother, he met Little White and Chu Yuechan.

After he greeted the two, he found out that Chu Yuechan was going on a mission to get the core of some Profound Sky Realm profound beasts.

Itachi knew that this was the kind of mission that more than one Profound Sky Realm cultivator would be sent on, but seeing that only Chu Yuechan was sent, Itachi knew that the sect was short of manpower. And how could he let, the person who had taken care of him during his childhood go on such a dangerous mission?

With a sigh, Itachi volunteered to help her.

Chu Yuechan at first refused Itachi's help, and even tried to leave on her own, but how could she be faster than Itachi? Who was in the Tyrant Profound Realm, so she just had to put up with the presence of Itachi who was quietly following her from a distance.

...

An hour passed and the duo managed to spot the Scarlet Dragon Range which would be the place where they would search for some Profound Beasts that were in the Deep Sky Realm.

Itachi was a bit curious to know if this Scarlet Dragon really exists or if it is just something created to scare people. With his cultivation, he shouldn't encounter any problems in this Mountain Range, so it wouldn't hurt to explore a bit with Chu Yuechan.

"Yuechan-"

"Don't call me that way." Chu Yuechan's cold voice came toward Itachi.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Itachi shook his head slightly. It was Chu Yuechan herself who told him as a child to call her that way. So he was confused that she no longer wanted to be called that way.

Since he didn't want to get into trouble, he just agreed to call her by the name that she wishes.

"Chu Yuechan... Why don't we go take a look at this Scarlet Dragon? If he exists, then his core can help you advance to the Emperor Profound Realm. Besides, if the information is correct, the Dragon is only in the Heaven Profound Realm, the two of us together can easily deal with this kind of Beast." Itachi said calmly while showing his good intentions.

He wanted to strengthen the sect, so why not help Chu Yuechan advance to the Emperor Profound Realm? That would be a good thing for Chu Yuechan herself, and also for the sect that would be strengthened by obtaining another Emperor Profound Realm cultivator.

Chu Yuechan seemed to have sensed Itachi's good intentions and for this reason, she didn't make things difficult for him, in fact even she didn't know why she was acting that way. She only remembers feeling uncomfortable when the sect disciples would ask him to help them in cultivation.

She doesn't know why this is happening.

Another person was also slightly uncomfortable seeing Itachi interacting with other girls, but this particular person felt that this was because of the poison that was in her body and not because of Itachi.

...

With Chu Yuechan agreeing to her request, the duo soon set off into the deeper area of the Cordillera in search of the Scarlet Dragon.

The duo realized that as they advanced into the depth of the Mountain Range, the Profound Beasts became more powerful, it got to the point where the Earth Profound Realm was considered only the base of cultivation of these beasts.

Itachi took advantage of this trip to capture some weaker cores, for the sect's core disciples, he knew that this would benefit all of them enormously.

Soon the pair spotted something that looked like a desolate mountain as if it had recently been burned. Itachi who swept his gaze over the surroundings realized that this was caused by a Profound Beast that was probably in the Profound Sky Realm or above.

"Looks like the rumors are real..." Itachi commented calmly.

Chu Yuechan who was beside him nodded her head without saying a word, she was currently lost in her thoughts so she didn't pay much attention to the surroundings.

Seeing that Chu Yuechan seemed to have no intention of helping him take care of the Scarlet Dragon, Itachi shook his head slightly as he flew towards what appeared to be the entrance to the mountain.

As he approached the entrance, he noticed that the temperature seemed to rise inordinately.

"If one is not strong enough, then one is likely to die at this entrance..." He thought.

Facing the entrance, Itachi felt the Scarlet Dragon resting as if it had just had a meal. With a wave of his sleeve, Itachi leaked a certain amount of Profound Force that caused the Scarlet Dragon to fly out at an incredible speed.

ROOOOAR!

A huge roar arose along with a shadow that looked frightening.

Soon a Dragon covered in flames revealed itself in front of Itachi, the dragon was emitting the aura of the Profound Sky Realm, but that was only on the surface.

Itachi easily managed to discover the true cultivation of the dragon which was actually in the Emperor Profound Realm.

"Pretending to be weak to attack others by surprise... I think I've seen something like this before..." Itachi thought with a rare smile on his face.

"Human, why are you invading my territory?" A deep and powerful voice sounded in Itachi's mind.

Chu Yuechan who felt a huge pressure suddenly coming, turned her gaze towards Itachi's direction and noticed him quietly staring at a huge Fire Dragon.

"What is he doing?" She thought with a slight apparent panic as she flew toward Itachi to help him face the Scarlet Dragon.

"Because your core will be useful to someone..." Itachi said calmly as he disappeared from his position.
