Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 160: Pursuit_1

Teacher Mu fell silent for a while before saying

"It’s not... We don’t share any blood relation..."

"Then it’s troublesome... Have all the common tracking spells been tried?"

"Yeah... Can’t track her location, all because of that damn bastard!"

"So, when and where did you last see her?"

"Why? Do you have a way?"

Teacher Mu said with some surprise, and Feng Yuan fell silent for a while before saying

"There’s a possibility, but I can’t guarantee that we’ll definitely find the person. Just give me the address and I’ll try on my own."

After a long silence, Teacher Mu said

"I’ll come with you... Where are you right now?"

Although a bit surprised, Feng Yuan still arranged to meet Teacher Mu at the dormitory entrance. Seeing that Teacher Yan also followed, Feng Yuan was puzzled. Teacher Yan glanced at Feng Yuan and the egg he was holding, opened his mouth as if to speak, then swallowed his words. He then had Xiao Tong stay close to Feng Yuan and said

"Be careful yourself."

Hearing Teacher Yan’s reminder, Teacher Mu realized something and looked at Feng Yuan hesitantly. Feng Yuan shook his head with a smile and said fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"It’s fine. Teacher Mu takes such good care of me, helping her find someone isn’t a big deal. Besides, what kind of trouble could happen inside the school anyway~"

"So, when and where did you last see her?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Teacher Mu, walking ahead, said

"Follow me."

Following Teacher Mu to the front of a rundown building, Feng Yuan looked at the ruins in front of him and said reflectively

"How did she end up coming here?"

Teacher Mu was silent for a while before saying

"I brought her here..."

"Could it be that child..."

Teacher Mu shook her head at Teacher Yan and said

"No, she was just curious about Grandma Mu’s house... If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have agreed to her request..."

A Pinecone Ball ran out from the building and jumped onto Teacher Mu’s shoulder, extending its little hand to help wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. It accidentally lost its balance and tumbled down. After picking up the Pinecone Ball, Teacher Mu said in a low voice

"I brought her here around six in the evening. After that, I was busy tidying up this place, and before I knew it..."

"Around six in the evening?"

Feng Yuan said softly before pulling out his greatsword. The patterns on the Wolf God’s Robe he was wearing started to flow rapidly with white light. A sky-blue clock phantom appeared behind him, with numerous gear phantoms revolving around. Feng Yuan then said to the two

"Stand close to me, Spirit Beasts as well."

Teacher Yan looked at Feng Yuan with some concern. After a while, Feng Yuan, with sky-blue light glowing in his eyes, swung the greatsword in his hand, and the surrounding space seemed to shatter. The night sky instantly turned to dusk, and seeing himself in front of the ruins explaining something to a little girl, Teacher Mu wanted to rush forward, but Feng Yuan grabbed Teacher Mu and said

"Don’t get excited, this is just a projection of the past. We can’t do anything about it."

Teacher Yan looked at Feng Yuan and said

"Are you alright doing this?"

"It’s fine, as long as we don’t maintain the Time Phantom for an extended continuous period, the effect isn’t significant. However, it seems we need to speed things up a bit."

The Dreaming Dragon Baby and Xiao Ji were curiously looking around, noticing everything seemed to speed up as if a fast-forward button had been pressed. The Dreaming Dragon Baby did a flip in the air and wormed its way into Feng Yuan’s hood to snuggle up with Xiao Ji, who glared at the Dreaming Dragon Baby in displeasure. But the shameless Dreaming Dragon Baby wouldn’t budge, so an irritated Xiao Ji turned away, resting at the edge of the hood to observe the surroundings.

After a while, the little girl talked to the big yellow fluffy dog beside her. The dog seemed to bark excitedly, prompting Teacher Mu to say to Feng Yuan in some anxiety,

"Can’t you hear what she’s saying?"

Feng Yuan spread his hands helplessly and said,

"Impossible, the Time Phantom only allows us to see images, nothing else."

Stroking his chin, Feng Yuan said with some confusion,

"How does she have a Fluffy Dog? Although it’s only a Good Level Spirit Beast, I remember that Lightning-type Spirit Beasts are quite rare."

"It was that guy who gave it to them. The Fluffy Dog just plays well with her; it’s not her Spirit Beast."

Teacher Mu said in a low voice. After a while, the Fluffy Dog turned its back, and the little girl cheerfully burrowed into the surrounding forest. Feng Yuan and Teacher Yan exchanged glances and then followed Teacher Mu, catching up to see the little girl climbing a tree. Teacher Mu said angrily,

"This Xiao Ling! How many times have I told her not to climb dangerous places!"

Seeing the little girl remain in the tree, Feng Yuan yawned and sped up the Time Phantom again. The tree branches vibrated wildly under the acceleration. After a while, the little girl seemed bored and jumped down from the tree. Teacher Mu reflexively rushed to catch her, but the phantom passed right through him as it hit the ground. By then, Feng Yuan had already slowed down and watched the little girl run off to another place, saying with some confusion,

"That’s strange. Even if the Fluffy Dog hasn’t learned any tracking skills, a canine Spirit Beast should be able to find her by scent..."

Stopping the Time Phantom, Feng Yuan walked up to the paused little girl to closely observe. Teacher Mu said urgently,

"Finding Xiao Ling is what matters most right now. We’ll worry about the rest once we find her."

Seeing what Xiao Ling held in her hands, Feng Yuan’s eyes narrowed. He resumed the Time Phantom and followed Teacher Mu, whispering with some confusion,

"How could that thing be in a little girl’s hands? Who is she?"

Looking at the little girl in cheap clothes, Feng Yuan was somewhat puzzled. Chasing after the little girl, they arrived at the dormitory building. It seemed like she heard something and suddenly ran in a specific direction. As they passed under a corridor, seeing his own shadow on the balcony, Feng Yuan muttered to himself,

"Could it have been the Fluffy Dog I saw back then?"

Remembering the Fluffy Dog’s yellow fur, Feng Yuan wasn’t too sure. Following the little girl, they found her retreating back to a corner and then quietly slipping into the bushes in the flowerbed without causing any disturbance. Feng Yuan walked straight out and saw a woman in combat attire holding a golden-furred large dog by the neck. Teacher Mu glared furiously at the woman.

The woman knocked out the Fluffy Dog with a palm strike and then turned around to leave, holding the dog by the neck. The little girl peeked out from the bushes, watching the woman with anger and silently followed her.

"Xiao Ling!!!"

Seeing the little girl’s actions, Teacher Mu shouted furiously and rushed forward to grab her, only to grasp at air and then realize what had happened. Teacher Yan gave Feng Yuan a grave look and said,

"This looks troublesome..."

They followed the little girl to a low wall near the campus. Teacher Mu, feeling desperately unable to move forward, looked anxiously at Feng Yuan, who shook his head and said,

"The phantom has a range; we are actually still in the original place."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan released the Time Phantom, and with a warp in the surroundings, everyone returned to the ruins. Seeing Teacher Yan pulling out his phone, Feng Yuan said,

"Don’t delay too long. The Time Phantom is just a skill like watching a video; it doesn’t stop the passage of time."

As the night grew darker and Teacher Yan made a call while running with the others to the low wall, they activated the Time Phantom again. Following the little girl, they gradually left the school grounds. When they encountered a barrier, Feng Yuan dispelled the Time Phantom. By now, Teacher Mu was silently looking at Feng Yuan, not sure how to start.

She both wanted Feng Yuan to join the search and yet didn’t want him to leave the school. She didn’t want to put Feng Yuan in danger over her own matters. Seeing the conflict in Teacher Mu’s eyes, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Let’s go. If we hurry, we might still be able to rescue her in time. If we wait, it could be too late..."

Seeing Teacher Mu still hesitating, Feng Yuan jumped over the low wall. Upon seeing Feng Yuan’s action, Teacher Yan sighed and leaped over the wall with Teacher Mu, ordering Xiao Tong to closely follow Feng Yuan. Teacher Mu directed her Good Will Green Bird to fly high above, vigilantly observing from the sky.
