Chapter 222 - This Village Wants Me Dead Part One

As soon as Ah Chun placed her little foot onto the step leading down the pressure started to weigh down on her again. Ah Chun frowned at first but the necklace she had just put on flashed with light and covered Ah Chun in a protective layer of spiritual qi. Feeling the pressure being lifted from her body caused Ah Chun to let out a sigh of relief. Ah Chun ran down the steps to the bottom and quickly made her way back to where the barrier was. Ah Chun paused her steps before passing back through the barrier. She reached out her little hand and touched the spot where the barrier was to find that her hand was now able to pass through it. Smiling she entered back through the barrier and scooped up Xiao Feng and placed Xiao Feng back on to her head. 

"Where did you get the clothes?" Xiao Feng was confused to see Ah Chun in a set of blue robes.

"Skeleton..." Ah Chun tossed this out as an explanation as she headed back towards the exit.

They reached the spot where the distortion rift was and Ah Chun stopped just before it. She pulled out the black sword from her back and stabbed it into the rift. Unsurprisingly, nothing happened. Ah Chun knew it probably would not work like her old sword the Slaughter of Time did but she still had to give it a try. "Xiao Feng..."

Not saying a word Xiao Feng once again shot out a stream of light which caused the distortion rift to open up. Ah Chun jumped through it and watched as the forest came in to view. "Now that I have finished what I wanted to do here. We can head to my home so I can gather up my other set of clothes. Then we will head to the nearest city and try to find some information on any sects that might be recruiting."

"That would be best. This area is very lacking in resources so having the help of a sect would be best." Xiao Feng nodded in agreement. Xiao Feng felt that Ah Chun had a good head on her shoulders for a human. Except what had happened with the barrier. Other than that she had a good head on her shoulders.

Ah Chun rushed through the woods. She found no troubles with any of the demonic beasts on the way now that she had a sword. She was able to get to the forest entrance by the time the sun was about to fall behind the mountains. Ah Chun slowed her pace as she made her way back to the village. 

When Ah Chun arrived at where her small little hut and courtyard should have been. She only found a pit with black scorched earth. The entire hut was burnt to nothing but ash. Ah Chun expression turned cold as she turned on her heel and marched towards the village. "In my last life, they stole my birth mother's keepsakes. In this life, they burned my hut to the ground! What if I was still in that hut when they lit it on fire! This village wants me dead!" 

Ah Chun walked right to the Village Chief's house and kicked the door in! "Who is it!? Who dares kick my door down." The Village Chief yelled out. 

He came running out of his kitchen to see Ah Chun standing there with her arms across her chest. He frowned when he saw her. 'This little bastard should be dead!? What is she doing here alive!?' "You little bastard do you not have any manners? Why are you kicking my door down?"

"You ask such stupid questions for an old man. Who burnt my house down? Tell me now or I will kill everyone in this village." Ah Chun's voice was cold. Her gaze was like ice as the Village Chief shivered in fear. He felt the little bastard had changed after disappearing for a month.

The Village Chief shook his head  as he said: "I do not know what you are talking about there have been no fires in this village." 

Hearing his words made Ah Chun look at the old man as if he was the biggest idiot in the world. "Hehe. You know the fun part of interrogating someone is when you inflict pain on that person so that they admit their wrongdoings.  But in yoru situation where you do not even notice a house on fire in your own village only proves that you are old and senile. Since you do not want to act smart I can only deem you too useless to be kept alive." 

Ah Chun did not waste words as she drew her sword and slashed out separating the Village Chief's head from his body.  A flicker of light flashed through Xiao Feng's eyes as she watched Ah Chun's decisive actions. She did not care for humans at all. She was very impressed with how Ah Chun made a split second decision to kill someone without even batting an eye.

"Let's look around his house before we go to the Li residents. I want to see if he has anything useful. I will need money to travel." Ah Chun said nonchalantly as she started to search the now dead Village Chief's body.  She looked at the head on the floor with unfeeling eyes. "You can only blame yourself for being ruthless enough to burn the home of a small child. Luckily I was not there or I would have died. I am guessing that was your goal. For what reason I do not know nor do I care. But those who wish to harm me will be repaid tenfold."

"Chun'er there is a space pouch in the old man's bedroom." Xiao Feng came flying out of one of the rooms flapping her little wings.
