Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2141 - 2142: Worries

As soon as Feng Yuan and his group passed through the Space Gate, they saw Liao Yu and the others waiting on the other side. Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised, given that the opening of a Space Gate over such a distance would specify a particular location during reporting, otherwise unforeseen accidents might occur.

As for Liao Yu’s group seeking him out, Feng Yuan could understand. He had suddenly applied for the use of a Space Gate, which obviously indicated a major event, otherwise Feng Yuan wouldn’t have acted so abruptly.

Waving to Liao Yu and his group, Feng Yuan said,

"I’ll go explain to them. You guys head back first."

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan hesitated but said nothing, while Veronia twirled the parasol in her hand, saying,

"This matter indeed needs their help, doesn’t it~"

After understanding the situation from Feng Yuan, Liao Yu only felt a headache coming on. He had assumed this situation was connected to Feng Yuan, but unexpectedly, it wasn’t. The matter was more complicated and troublesome than he had thought.

It involved not just Great Xia, nor merely the Divine Land Region. The sudden appearance of the Netherworld Obelisk naturally drew their intelligence reports, but since Maomu City didn’t have a Netherworld Obelisk, they were merely on alert.

After all, regular people wouldn’t know that this is connected to the Netherworld, let alone that it involves other things.

"So, is our Maomu City in trouble too?"

Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan with some apprehension, fearing an unpleasant answer.

Understanding what Liao Yu was worried about, Feng Yuan spread his hands and said,

"It’s hard to say, but the problem isn’t too severe. If you’re worried, you can temporarily evacuate the residents of Kui Shan Town, but..."

"Perhaps because there’s no one, it might trigger further evolution~"

What Feng Yuan didn’t dare say, Veronia wouldn’t care about. To her, human affairs were of little concern.

Upon hearing Veronia’s words, Liao Yu and the others felt a pit in their stomachs. Huo Feng suddenly rushed in front of Feng Yuan, glaring hard at him, loudly questioning,

"What exactly do you know?!"

"I know nothing at all. I haven’t understood what this is about either. It’s just that Kui Shan Town’s people being connected with those invading the Netherworld is an undeniable fact."

Gazing calmly in response, Feng Yuan bore no resentment towards Huo Feng for being upset. Feng Yuan understood why Huo Feng was angry. Even though it wasn’t Feng Yuan’s decision, he knew that ultimately, it might be dealt with like this.

The people of Kui Shan Town might be innocent, but...

No matter the choice, there’ll be casualties. This time, both sides of the scale hold entirely innocent people.

Even though the ancestors of Kui Shan Town sparked this, the town today has no original inheritance. Even the sins borne thousands of years ago have dwindled over time.

It’s even uncertain whether the people of Kui Shan Town are the descendants of those earlier people.

After all, Kui Shan Town isn’t some isolated village.

However, if it truly were so, then no decision is needed. Just temporarily relocating everyone would suffice.

"It’s not up to us to worry about this. Just report the news accurately. Sigh, let’s hope nothing happens on Kui Shan Town’s end."

Understanding what the trio were contemplating, Feng Yuan shook his head in dissuasion. Regardless of their thoughts, they couldn’t affect the final decision, given that this incident could impact a considerable area.

Although in Great Xia only the Serene Forest Sea exhibited abnormalities, Maomu City only showed potential, considering the incident’s association with the Netherworld, it will be treated as a major event.

Though reluctant to accept, Liao Yu and the others knew that Feng Yuan’s words probably reflected the ultimate decision.

Perhaps there will be a small-scale withdrawal of residents from Kui Shan Town to probe the situation, but they definitely wouldn’t act rashly.

At least, until they’re sure there are no issues, fully withdrawing might not be feasible.

However, it’s reassuring that with Drudgeon guarding the place, even if something happens, there might still be a chance.

After parting with Liao Yu’s group, Feng Yuan directly took Xiao Ji and the others back home.

Seeing only Qi Chen feeding the Hao Chun Bird, Feng Yuan curiously asked,

"Where’s Xiao Shuang?"

"Out with classmates."

Qi Chen replied, then turned his head toward Feng Yuan, asking,

"How did it go?"

"What result?"

"Of course, regarding Kui Shan Town."

Caught off guard by Qi Chen’s abrupt query, Feng Yuan was momentarily bewildered by what Qi Chen was referring to. Understanding the meaning, Feng Yuan smiled and replied helplessly,

"Oh, that. We can only wait. With Drudgeon watching over there, I can be promptly notified if anything happens. But in the short term, I probably can’t leave Maomu City."

Though no one restricted Feng Yuan’s movements, if he wanted to be able to rush to Kui Shan Town should an emergency arise, he’d have to stay within Maomu City; otherwise, he might not make it in time.

After all, even a Space Gate forcibly opened without application could cause unrest, and in such moments, a small disturbance could escalate into chaos.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s reply, Qi Chen was stunned, looking up again in disbelief towards Feng Yuan, he said,

"They asked you to do this?"

"No, I chose to do it myself. After all, this place... is quite important to me."

Feng Yuan smiled slightly, spreading his palms and shaking his head in explanation. Naturally, Liao Yu and the others couldn’t demand Feng Yuan do this. They didn’t even know Feng Yuan’s true strength, and even the abilities he had shown were only of Legendary Level significance to them.

The prior events were resolved solely by Feng Yuan because they engaged it firsthand, unable to summon external aid at the time.

Now, knowing the most likely place for a crisis, they’d, of course, dispatch Legendary Level Beastmasters or even Holy Beast-level Beastmasters from elsewhere to guard.

Feng Yuan chose to stay because he knew this might involve the Yin World, and once tied to the Yin World, even a Sacred Beast Level Beastmaster might not withstand those events.

Naturally, Feng Yuan didn’t elaborate much. Knowing it was Feng Yuan’s own decision, Qi Chen did not say anything further, partly due to personal reasons, hoping Feng Yuan would stay and help.

Not because he knew how strong Feng Yuan truly was, but simply because of the inexplicable trust stemming from Feng Yuan resolving those past incidents with them.

Qi Chen always felt that should anything happen, as long as Feng Yuan was around, it wouldn’t escalate into an irreparable disaster, excluding things stirred up by Feng Yuan himself, of course.

That evening, Dou Yanlan was discussing the potential impact of the Netherworld anomaly with her father when her phone chimed. The two paused their conversation, and Dou Yanlan walked over to pick up her phone with curiosity.

Seeing the text from Qi Chen, Dou Yanlan froze and, after a moment of silence, said,

"This time, it might be very tricky."

"Are you sure it has nothing to do with you?"

At night, with everyone already at rest, Veronia went alone to the courtyard, murmuring softly to the bright moonlight. It couldn’t quite understand why the ancestors of Kui Shan Town were able to invade the Yin World.

If Tamur’s words were correct and Kui Shan Town served as their foothold, why would they enter the Yin World before then? What did they do there?

Are these matters truly unrelated to Feng Yuan?

Tamur shuffled and said,

"Perhaps, it has nothing to do with him directly."

"Heh~ Are you defending him~ or are you suggesting that their abnormal actions resulted from his unintended actions?"

"I don’t know."

Tamur couldn’t provide an answer. Even it could only occasionally see glimpses of the future, let alone when it involved the Yin World, something reality can’t easily touch.

The sudden arrival of the Netherworld Obelisk busied not only the Divine Beasts but also led the Alliance to dispatch personnel for investigation and monitoring. Given the gravity of this affair, countries did not oppose these measures by the Alliance; those with the capability even sent specialized teams for investigation and handling.

Beyond the areas where the Netherworld Obelisk descended, they began inspecting their territories for zones with significant overlap with the Netherworld to avoid being caught off-guard. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As for Maomu City, Great Xia dispatched a considerable force. Though this place has no Netherworld Obelisk and limited interaction with the Netherworld, they knew the most suspicious item was indeed in Kui Shan Town.
