Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2457: Chapter 2458: Bad News

After finishing his tasks, Long Boduo immediately came to find Feng Yuan, as assistance from the Netherworld was indeed needed. Though not required at the moment, Long Boduo or perhaps the Ghost-type Divine Beasts felt somewhat uneasy.

Standing at Feng Yuan’s doorstep, in human form, Long Boduo frowned and looked coldly at a corner, saying.

"Will you come out yourself, or should I force you out!"

After waiting for a while without any movement, Long Boduo turned around with a cold smile, stamping his foot hard, black ice pillars surged from the ground continuously, forming an ice belt that extended without stopping.

White flames exploded, space warped, Bai You, clad in white, appeared from the void and stared at Long Boduo, seemingly complaining.

"Is this how you welcome guests?"

"I don’t consider you his guest, moreover, the aura on you, I really don’t like it!"

Long Boduo took a step forward, ready to act, when the door opened and Feng Yuan came out, glanced at Long Boduo and Bai You, saying.

"What are you two fussing about? Hmm? A person from the War Timeline? East Continent Great Xia?"

Bai You, who had initially drawn her weapon for battle, put away her weapon, glanced disdainfully at Long Boduo and said.

"I am the envoy of East Continent Great Xia, Bai You."

"Indeed, the same aura as Qi Chen from the War Timeline, but, why are you here? Your alliance with me is of no concern."

"Is that so? Then, sir, do you have any explanation for the strange city above?"

Snorting lightly, Bai You leaned forward slightly as if warning Feng Yuan, rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan replied irritably.

"As an envoy, has Qi Chen not warned you to stop bothering me?"

"I think the allied parties shouldn’t hide too many important things, especially this above."

"No comment, Agunas, Time Banishment."

Ignoring Bai You, Feng Yuan turned around and spoke to Agunas who had followed him out. Long Boduo looked at Feng Yuan and then at the visibly angry Bai You, saying.

"Just Time Banishment, not enough? Shall I take her to the Netherworld for some discipline?"

"No need, I don’t want to affect the alliance temporarily, but if she still doesn’t appreciate this, then..."

Waving his hand, Feng Yuan spoke and glanced overhead. Though the City of Death couldn’t be seen through the roof, he wouldn’t mind giving East Continent Great Xia a warning, provided they didn’t show understanding.

Agunas waved a claw lightly, not giving Bai You a chance to speak further, Time Banishment took effect, forcibly moving Bai You to the street where she previously met War Qi Chen.

"Hey, Feng Yuan, how about letting the parallel world version of me handle this?"

Qi Chen poked his head and inquired of Feng Yuan, having maintained contact with War Qi Chen during this period, Qi Chen felt the other side wouldn’t mind helping out.

"No need, if my guess is correct, she’s probably sent by East Continent Great Xia to monitor you from the War Timeline, so he can’t really control Bai You. Am I correct?"

"What?"

Qi Chen looked surprised at the silhouette behind Long Boduo, at this point War Qi Chen stepped out of the shadows, sighed, and said helplessly.

"You’re right, but if necessary, I could make her disappear."

"Forget it, there’s no need for that at the moment, besides, she is an important person to you, right?"

Turning his head towards War Qi Chen, Feng Yuan’s words startled everyone. War Qi Chen wanted to shake his head in denial but found he couldn’t open his mouth, not because anyone restrained him, but...

"Though I don’t know what the you from the War Timeline has gone through, different timelines have unique experiences and futures that don’t necessarily repeat."

"I don’t want to say anything, just have her stop harassing me, as for Qi Chen and the others? I trust they wouldn’t mind."

With a chuckle, Feng Yuan walked into the room.

Watching Feng Yuan’s back, War Qi Chen hesitated for a long time before ultimately turning away. He hadn’t expected his feelings to be so evident, Bai You...

"Feng Yuan, do you know something?"

In the living room, Qi Chen looked curiously at Feng Yuan, eager to glean information about himself from the War Timeline, Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen, chuckled, and said.

"How would I know what his situation really is, but he and Bai You are likely not just colleagues? Otherwise, he wouldn’t look like that."

Recalling War Qi Chen’s hesitance and conflicted demeanor yet intent on firming his resolve, Feng Yuan shook his head, he truly wasn’t clear about the relationship between those two.

"Let’s not talk about them, what are your plans next, continue patrol duty? Though the City of Death is intimidating, it’s still a bit too dangerous for you all."

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, the City of Death isn’t omnipotent, while limiting the Imperial Timeline, it heightened the level of attacks faced by Maomu City.

With Qi Chen and the others’ abilities, they might struggle with the new round of assaults.

"I’m not sure, we want to do something, at least not hide in Data City praying silently for the war to end, but we also don’t know what we can do."

Exchanging a glance with Dou Yanlan, Qi Chen spoke helplessly, lacking power was indeed the case, if he possessed the strength akin to his War Timeline self, he might stand alongside his father in combat.

"Hm, it’s seeking trouble in my eyes, but if you insist, I actually have a suggestion, and that is to go for a stroll, of course, with me."

Covering his forehead, Feng Yuan feigned helplessness, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and said.

"You seem to have some plan."

"Not really a plan, the City of Death only covers the urban area of Maomu City. Though the surrounding territories enjoy its effects, it might not completely thwart those guys’ infiltration."

"I plan to take a walk, after all, with you all, there’s no fear even if we encounter their squad wielding special power."

Smiling, Feng Yuan spoke while looking at Agunas, who wagged his tail and said.

"You intend to gamble on the chance of running into them?"

"Um, it’s not exactly a gamble, as under vague conditions, some special guidance can be quite effective."

Waving his forefinger, Feng Yuan appeared very pleased, the main reason being he didn’t want to stay cooped up at home any longer, since due to the war, even with the approach of the New Year, there was no festive atmosphere. Instead of staying in reading various battle reports and nonsense, he’d rather take a walk.

As for inviting Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan simply decided on a whim without thinking much, or rather, though he considered going out to also track that group as a bonus, he mostly viewed it as a travel opportunity.

Staring at Feng Yuan for a while, Agunas sighed and said.

"I’ll handle the procedure issues for you, but you’ll need to wait."

Under wartime status, even Feng Yuan couldn’t casually leave Maomu City, after all, during these times, who knew whether wandering individuals were enemies or friends. Though there were ways to determine, it required time and was cumbersome.

Therefore, throughout Great Xia, heading to other places wasn’t as simple as before unless one didn’t plan to rest at a city.

"No worries, maybe during this time, those guys might use that thing."

Lightheartedly, Feng Yuan spoke, when suddenly his phone rang, picking it up in puzzlement, Feng Yuan answered and was stunned by the message.

"Hong Zhi, this..."

Unlike Feng Yuan, Yang Hongzhi also received a notification, but it was an image-text message sent through special channels by the Special Duty Team, with prominent red letters at the start forbidding leaks.

Initially, Yang Hongzhi assumed it was an urgent mission, but after reading carefully, though urgent, it was...

Glancing at Najia, who bore a sorrowful look, Yang Hongzhi sighed and said.

"Should we depart now?"

"Although I’d like to personally exact vengeance on those guys, I think we should communicate with Feng Yuan first, I... don’t want Maomu City to be next in the reports."

Najia shook his head, suppressing anger and sadness, upon hearing this, Yang Hongzhi pondered and said.

"Alright, but Najia, this..."

"I dislike war, but I hate this even more!"
