Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 204: Tracing_1

Big Mushroom saw the incoming figure and forcefully spewed out rainbow spores while waving its hand, causing vines to shoot up from the ground towards the sky in wild growth. The Ice Profound Bird let out a long cry, summoning a piercing blizzard that swept downwards. Agunas flicked the book in his hand, and numerous Time Phantoms appeared in the air, stopping the blizzard dead in its tracks.

"Agunas! What are you doing!"

"Don’t you understand the situation!"

Feng Yuan shouted towards the sky. After a while, the Ice Profound Bird slowly descended in the distance. Elder Li alighted from the Ice Profound Bird and shouted towards Feng Yuan

"What situation! Why are you helping the rebels!"

"Rebels?"

The crowd looked at Big Mushroom with some confusion. Feng Yuan shouted towards Elder Li

"Could there be some misunderstanding! Can you come here for a moment?"

Elder Li approached cautiously with the Ice Profound Bird. He glanced at Big Mushroom then said to Feng Yuan

"How do you plan to explain this?"

"Let’s walk and talk."

Feng Yuan, preparing to move forward, was grabbed by Elder Li who said freёwebnoѵel.com

"Don’t even think about leaving without a clear explanation! Considering the face of the Divine Beasts, I’ll give you a chance to explain!"

Feng Yuan sighed, turned to calm the angry Xiao Ji, and then explained to Elder Li the information he had gotten from Big Mushroom. Elder Li looked at Feng Yuan and said

"How can you be sure that what the other party says is true?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Elder Li and said irritably

"Do you think a Spirit Beast capable of fighting back and forth with you has the leisure to deceive us?"

"But..."

"Can we go now?"

Seeing Elder Li without a response, Feng Yuan led the crowd to follow Big Mushroom. Ye Hanlei gave Elder Li a complicated look, while Liao Yu nervously stepped between Ye Hanlei and Big Mushroom, then blocked between Ye Hanlei and Elder Li, visibly annoying Ye Hanlei who pushed Liao Yu and said

"What are you doing!"

"I...I’m standing guard!"

"Standing guard against what? Which one of those two do you think you can take on?"

"I...I..."

"Huh? There’s even a valley hidden in this place?"

Following behind Big Mushroom, everyone entered a valley surrounded by steep cliffs. As Feng Yuan curiously looked around, Big Mushroom seemed somewhat proud. They followed Big Mushroom to a cave filled with crystals, and by the dim light emitted from the crystals, everyone could see traces on the ground where Spirit Beast Eggs had been placed. Feng Yuan drew his Greatsword and said

"Alright, let’s see where the culprit ran off to."

Within a Time Phantom, a person dressed as a mercenary sneaked into the cave, took out some kind of tool, and carefully placed the Spirit Beast Eggs into a Spatial Backpack one by one. Watching these people leave stealthily, Elder Li’s face flushed red with rage and said

"We were actually fooled by them!"

Feng Yuan looked at Elder Li with a hint of amusement and said

"Don’t tell me these are the rebels you spoke of?"

"Exactly! They even produced heaps of evidence to prove that the Poison Mush here intended to incite a rebellion!"

Feng Yuan looked at Elder Li, somewhat speechless, and said

"You believe such nonsense? Since when have Spirit Beasts had such ambition, especially the wild Poison Mush here, clearly without a Beastmaster?"

Giving Feng Yuan a stern look, Elder Li said gravely

"When it concerns national security, we must hold the utmost suspicion!"

"Fine, fine, let’s go after those people... wait, since you know them, you should know where they are, right?"

"I don’t know. I had arranged for them to rest at the reception area earlier. If they truly intended to deceive us, they might not be there now."

"As long as I know the time and place, that’s enough. Tell me the location, and let’s go!"

Feng Yuan, disregarding Elder Li’s status, directly grabbed Elder Li’s sleeve, dispelled the Time Phantom, and ran outside. Once in the valley, Feng Yuan looked at Elder Li and said

"Can the Ice Profound Bird carry people? We need to hurry now. If they’ve done something unforgivable to those Spirit Beast Eggs, according to the pact between the Alliance and the Divine Beasts..."

Remembering the dreadful consequences, Elder Li’s expression changed abruptly, and he quickly said

"Alright! Ah Lan, take us back to Maomu City!"

"You too, get on."

"Sorry."

After a glance at Elder Li, Big Mushroom jumped onto the back of Ah Lan, and everyone sat on Ah Lan’s back. Liao Yu excitedly looked around as Ah Lan took to the skies, and the grip of Feng Yuan holding Xiao Ji tightened a bit.

"I wonder when I will truly be able to soar the blue skies on your back~"

Feng Yuan gently said as he stroked Xiao Ji in his arms, looking up to see Xiao Ji attempting a proud, chest-thrusting pose. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Not by using the Incarnation of Power but your evolved form, not those forms of the Incarnation of Power. In a few months, you could try evolving."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji looked at him in surprise. Feng Yuan gently stroked Xiao Ji’s head and softly said,

"Next, I have to prepare the potion for your evolution... It’s a pity I can’t take leave..."

Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby poking its head out and looking at him smugly, Feng Yuan freed a hand and flicked the Dreaming Dragon Baby’s head, saying,

"You can’t go out on your own. It’s too dangerous."

"Arrogant..."

"I know you want to help me, but you must understand, you are a rare Spirit Beast in and of yourself, and wandering outside alone..."

Feng Yuan sighed as he spoke, and the Dreaming Dragon Baby lowered its head, seemingly sad. Xiao Ji raised his head and said something to the Dreaming Dragon Baby. After a while, the Ice Profound Bird landed on the open ground next to the temporary office of the special task force. Glancing at the people coming and going, Feng Yuan said,

"Find a place with fewer people. I don’t want to bring trouble upon myself."

Elder Li, who understood the special nature of Feng Yuan’s Time Phantom, led him to a building nearby. Entering the small conference room and closing the door, Elder Li said to Feng Yuan,

"That’ll do, make it quick!"

"Cut!"

Taking out the Greatsword, Feng Yuan activated the Time Phantom. Seeing that the people didn’t linger at the reception and silently slipped away, Feng Yuan looked at Elder Li and asked,

"Do you still think they are not a problem after all this?"

"Stop nagging! Chase after them quickly!"

Following the traces of the others, he finally discovered that they had stopped in an abandoned residential building. Feng Yuan said with some surprise,

"Although I know the West City District is an old area and has its problems, it shouldn’t have abandoned buildings, should it?"

Remembering something, Yang Hongzhi said as he looked at the abandoned residential building in front of him,

"It’s indeed possible for abandoned buildings to appear in West City District because this place wasn’t planned initially. Quite a few places are now not just inconvenient to access; like this one, we might not have found it without following those people."

"They couldn’t find it?"

Seeing Feng Yuan glance at her, Ye Hanlei thought for a moment and said,

"Normally, they wouldn’t know about it. However, if there was a need to do a thorough search of the city, those responsible for searching this area should have a newly created map of the terrain."

"Letting it handle those people by itself shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Looking at Big Mushroom, who was staring intently at the abandoned residential building, Feng Yuan said to Elder Li, who hesitated for a moment before nodding and responding,

"Just this once, no exceptions! Consider this part of our compensation for the misunderstanding."

Glancing at Elder Li, Big Mushroom rushed towards the abandoned building. Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and asked,

"There were no casualties this time, right?"

Seeing Agunas shake his head, Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Elder Li said with a cold face,

"Don’t let me find out who sent them!"

"Agunas has ways to check though~"

Seeing Feng Yuan looking expectantly at him, Elder Li calmly said,

"Thinking of reducing your punishment is out of the question."

"Hey! Why be like that..."

"Now that the case is resolved, Elder Li, I will continue to deal with the backlog of cases with them."

Understanding the help that Feng Yuan’s Time Phantom offered in dealing with cases, Elder Li nodded at Ye Hanlei, and as the three were about to leave, a saintly hymn could be heard, and as the golden halo spread, Feng Yuan’s expression turned very ugly,

"Arnis!"
