Chapter 533: Chapter 493: Retreat

Li Qian saw Wu You’s post-evolution information through his Eye of True Sight. He remained calm on the surface, but his mind was reeling.

Her attributes hadn’t just improved; they had undergone a complete and utter transformation.

The skill, ’Mystic Secret: Annihilation Light’, in particular, made Li Qian’s heart pound. He never would have imagined that Wu You could actually master a Mysterious Skill after evolving.

This was a testament to just how terrifying her talent was.

Of course, Wu You wasn’t the only one who had evolved; Li Qian had as well. His Spiritual Power had advanced to the Dominator Level. He could foresee a significant boost to his combat power in the near future.

Moreover, with the increase in his Spiritual Power Level, he had gained another Contract Position, allowing him to add a powerful new addition to his team.

Li Qian already had a plan for this. He would reserve the Contract Position for the cat—the Spiritual Light Cat.

Li Qian had witnessed the mysterious and heaven-defying power of the Time Element before in the ruins of Luoying City.

He had always wanted a Pet Beast like Teacher Liang’s Time Spirit. Now that he had the chance, there was no way he would let it slip by.

It was also obvious that the Spiritual Light Cat’s final evolved form was, nine times out of ten, one of the three statues in the Earth Palace of the Luoying City ruins.

The one depicting a cat-like Pet Beast with a vertical eye on its forehead.

This meant the Spiritual Light Cat’s Potential had to be at least Legendary Level. Based on this reasoning, Li Qian felt confident enough to prepare for the contract without any hesitation.

"Congratulations, Wu You." Seeing her open her eyes, which glinted sharply as they met his, Li Qian smiled and offered his congratulations.

"Congratulations to you, too." Wu You could also sense Li Qian’s progress, and she returned the sentiment with a smile.

"Hahaha... Excellent, excellent. I knew I wasn’t wrong about you two. You’re both one-in-a-million talents," Wu Xinlan said, deeply gratified.

Nearby, the Celestial Feather Ancestor stroked his beard with a smile, a look of satisfaction in his eyes as well.

He was about to say more, but at that exact moment, the smile vanished from his face, replaced by a stern expression.

The Celestial Feather Ancestor made no attempt to hide his change in expression, so everyone else naturally noticed.

Before they could ask, the Celestial Feather Ancestor turned his head toward the Qianren Mountain Range. His unspoken meaning was clear.

"We need to leave immediately. The commotion from the evolution, despite the Array’s shielding, was still detected by those beasts," the Celestial Feather Ancestor said grimly.

The Qianren Mountain Range was home to many incredibly powerful Extraordinary Creatures, most of which the Celestial Feather Ancestor could handle.

However, there were some that even he found troublesome, and a rare few that he would rather not face at all.

Most importantly, even if he could deal with them, there was little point. Killing one or two wouldn’t affect the overall balance of power in the Qianren Mountain Range.

As far as the Celestial Feather Ancestor knew, there was a Dimensional Rift inside the Qianren Mountain Range leading to an even Deep Elemental Plane.

Therefore, it was impossible to ever kill all the Extraordinary Creatures there.

"Since the evolution is complete, let’s head back immediately," the Celestial Feather Ancestor said, clearly directing his words at Li Qian and asking for his input.

"Okay." Li Qian had no objections and nodded without hesitation.

Seeing Li Qian’s nod, the Celestial Feather Ancestor wasted no more time and once again took out the Feather Boat.

The group leaped into the Feather Boat. With a wave of his sleeve, the Celestial Feather Ancestor sent the boat shooting into the sky, heading toward Forgetful Village.

"Li Qian, I..." Aboard the Feather Boat, high in the air, Wu You began to speak, hesitated, and then finally pushed on. But just as she opened her mouth, disaster struck.

From a dense forest in the Qianren Mountain Range below, a dark green Energy Ball, pulsing with immense power, shot toward them at incredible speed.

The sudden attack from the dark green Energy Ball not only cut Wu You off but also instantly put most of the people on the Feather Boat on high alert.

"Judging by that move, it must be the Thorny Wolf Monarch," You Dongshu said. As he spoke, a giant, eagle-like Pet Beast materialized beside him—presumably his Contracted Pet Beast.

Li Qian recognized it at once. The Pet Beast You Dongshu had summoned was a Flame Dragon Carving, one of the most outstanding Fire Attribute Pet Beasts.

Sensing its aura, Li Qian realized the Flame Dragon Carving was a terrifying Pet Beast that was at least Emperor Level. Of course, while its power was immense, this didn’t surprise him.

’It takes considerable power to guard Forgetful Village, after all.’ Li Qian thought. So, the fact that this middle-aged man was an Emperor Level Beast Master seemed perfectly normal to him.

The Flame Dragon Carving spread its red-and-black wings and gave a mighty flap. A deep red Fireball instantly materialized from thin air.

The Fireball also shot out at incredible speed, ultimately colliding with the dark green Energy Ball.

BOOM!

A terrifying explosion rang out in midair. Li Qian could clearly perceive how loud the sound was, but strangely, the deafening blast didn’t cause his ears the slightest bit of pain.

Li Qian quickly glanced around and immediately understood when he saw the faint halo of light shimmering around the Feather Boat.

It wasn’t that the deafening explosion had no impact; it was that the Feather Boat had completely nullified it.

"Make it quick. Don’t get bogged down; just drive it back," the Celestial Feather Ancestor instructed, his gaze fixed on a particular spot in the Qianren Mountain Range.

The Thorny Wolf Monarch was also an Emperor Level Pet Beast, and it clearly had the terrain advantage here in the mountains. You Dongshu knew it was practically impossible for him to kill it on his own.

So, he immediately followed the Celestial Feather Ancestor’s orders. Instead of getting entangled, he continued to exchange long-range attacks, bombarding it with the Red Flame Bomb skill.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions were incessant, creating an immense commotion. Of course, it couldn’t be helped; once a battle started, it was nearly impossible to remain unnoticed.

While they traded blows with the Thorny Wolf Monarch below, the Feather Boat continued its rapid retreat.

Standing on the Feather Boat, Wu You watched the scene unfold, a flicker of guilt in her eyes. ’If it weren’t for helping me evolve,’ she thought, ’none of them would be in this dangerous situation.’
