297: Just like an old friend

Someone crossed the sky, flying from afar and landing in this small mountain village.

Immortals descended?

One of the women, in particular, astonished the villagers with her heavenly beauty, elegant demeanor, and appearance as if she were the most beautiful woman in all the heavens and earth.

The villagers who witnessed this scene were all startled, but no one dared to make a sound in front of the Immortals, all carefully watching from the side.

The three people who suddenly landed here were none other than Li Qi and his companions!

The Phoenix Lord immediately noticed Wang Wenfeng standing in the sea of fire; she truly sensed a familiar aura from this young man.

"Ancestor... is it really you?"

The Phoenix Lord's heart was stirred, and her voice trembled as she asked.

Wang Wenfeng, on the other hand, looked bewildered: "Ancestor? What Ancestor?"

"You've got the wrong person."

The three people who flew from the sky were clearly extraordinary, and Wang Wenfeng did not sense any malice from them, so he casually replied to the Phoenix Lord's question.

Wang Wenfeng turned his head and saw that the flames he had conjured had ignited many trees, and the fire was showing signs of growing larger, so he intended to stop it.

The special power within him surged, and the burning flames outside also seemed to be touched by something, extinguishing one after another, quickly leaving only ashes and charcoal on the ground.

At first, Wang Wenfeng merely thought he should be able to control these burning flames, so he gave it a try, and to his surprise, it actually worked, filling his heart with wonder.

Li Qi, observing all this from the side, secretly nodded, thinking that this Reincarnation of the Phoenix King had already initially awakened the Phoenix Clan's extraordinary power, gaining the ability to control flames.

Li Qi also said to the Phoenix Lord: "He is the person we are looking for; rest assured... my divination will never be wrong!"

Hearing this, the Phoenix Lord nodded heavily, taking a step forward: "Ancestor, you don't remember who you are yet, but it doesn't matter..."

"Come with me; you will soon remember your past self..."

These words were inexplicable, but Wang Wenfeng did not directly refuse.

He had never seen the three people before him, yet Wang Wenfeng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the Phoenix Lord, as if he had truly known her before.

"Could this really be an old acquaintance of mine?"

Then the question arose...

Should he really leave with these people?

Leave the village that had nurtured him... and go to an unknown place?

For a moment, Wang Wenfeng hesitated, unsure how to choose.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these three people were of extraordinary origin, and to be guided by them and go with them... would surely be a remarkable Opportunity.

Wang Wenfeng had always been precocious, or rather, he was more mature and rational than most of the villagers in Wangjia Village. After some deliberation, Wang Wenfeng calmly said,

"Alright, I'll go with you."

He was also very curious about who he used to be, to be able to attract these three people from afar to guide him.

Hearing Wang Wenfeng say this, the Phoenix Lord was overjoyed: "Excellent, Ancestor, we can finally go home..."

Wang Wenfeng felt awkward and uncomfortable being called "Ancestor" by the woman he had just met: "You should just call me Wang Wenfeng; I'm not used to being called Ancestor."

And the Phoenix Lord was amenable, immediately changing her address.

"Please wait for me; I need to say goodbye to my fellow villagers and go back to get a few things."

The Phoenix Lord readily agreed.

Wang Wenfeng ran towards the villagers standing at the village entrance, bidding each of them farewell.

The villagers of Wangjia Village were still very grateful to Wang Wenfeng; if Wang Wenfeng hadn't acted just now, those Horse Bandits would have razed Wangjia Village to the ground.

Although everyone was also very curious as to why Wang Wenfeng possessed such terrifying strength and could control flames, they knew they would probably never know the answer.

The mountain village youth they once knew so well now seemed to be shrouded in a mist, making him impossible to see clearly.

"Wenfeng, go, it's good to see the outside world."

"That's right, you're so young, how can you stay in this small mountain village?"

"Yes, if you miss us, you can always come back to visit."

Having lived in this mountain village for over ten years, it was impossible not to have feelings for it. Although reluctant now, no one tried to hold him back; everyone only hoped that Wang Wenfeng would have a different future.

After bidding farewell to the villagers, Wang Wenfeng returned to his home. The house was very simple, with nothing valuable.

He looked around and saw a horn bow hanging on the wall. This was the horn bow passed down by his father, so he took it down and slung it over his back.

Finally, Wang Wenfeng went to the small mountain behind the village and found two small mounds, with two stone tablets standing in front of them.

These were the graves of Wang Wenfeng's deceased parents. After kowtowing before his parents' graves, Wang Wenfeng stood up, looked at the three people behind him, and calmly said,

"My business here is done... I can go now."

The Phoenix Lord nodded slightly, and an invisible force emanated from her body, seizing Wang Wenfeng.

The three figures soared into the sky, flying far away towards the horizon...
