Chapter 796: Chapter 797: Omen_1

"Why does that person seem to be following us?"

Feng Yuan asked with some confusion, noticing something unusual behind them. As for why he was suspicious? There’s no helping it, his tamed beast was a Baiyu Eagle. Although this Spirit Beast wasn’t particularly fast in flight, it was still much faster than Lan Lan, which used water-based abilities to fly.

And yet, here he was, constantly trailing behind everyone, which made it difficult for Feng Yuan not to be suspicious of his intentions.

"It seems like..."

Li Xiaowei looked over at Dou Yanlan with some confusion; she naturally recognized the person behind the Baiyu Eagle. In fact, she had paid attention to him before. Clearly, his tamed beast was a Baiyu Eagle, but when it came to actual combat, he managed to utilize the combat-oriented Baiyu Eagle as though it had a supportive role.

"There’s a problem."

Dou Yanlan said calmly. Seeing everyone’s puzzled looks, Dou Yanlan stated,

"There’s a seventy percent chance that he’s working towards the commanders’ direction. The Baiyu Eagle’s special abilities are primarily team-oriented, something most people wouldn’t opt for."

As she spoke, Dou Yanlan smoothed out Cotton. Her Cotton was the same; most of the special abilities it had learned were used within a team. Normal people would definitely not do this for their first tamed beast, since even those with great potential couldn’t contract a second beast until a year after the first.

Before that, a beast with only team support capabilities would be at a disadvantage in many situations.

"Commander? Isn’t that the same as you?"

Feng Yuan looked curiously at Dou Yanlan, nodding in acknowledgment. Dou Yanlan did not deny Feng Yuan’s words. Although she was puzzled about what the person trailing them wanted to do, the sky was not a place for conversation. The group didn’t pay too much attention to this, and as they reached their destination, Feng Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

"Could it be that you’re specifically waiting for me here?"

He eyed Gladys suspiciously as she held a card, she simply smiled a little without explaining and handed over the card she had been holding.

"Gate of Hell?"

Feng Yuan wasn’t very familiar with the divination cards used by Gladys, as those were said to vary greatly in number and content, with each diviner’s set being unique. Gladys nodded at Feng Yuan, then looked back at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan and asked,

"Do you mind taking a walk with me alone?"

"Is there something?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan behind him, reluctant to follow, because he had already missed one chance to observe the two of them in actual combat, and if he went with her now, he would surely miss their competition again.

"It seems you’re not very keen—alright then, take this. Although I also cannot comprehend what it might mean."

Gladys handed another card to Feng Yuan, who received it with some bewilderment, looking at it before preparing to give it back to Gladys.

"Eye of the Mirror? What does this mean?"

"I don’t know, this card came up during my divination of the anomaly at Lake Bai Dao, and I’m not sure how. Keep that card,"

"because it’s not one of my divination cards."

As Gladys spoke the last sentence, her expression became somewhat serious. Feng Yuan was stunned and asked,

"It’s not one of your cards?"

"Correct, I don’t have a card called Eye of the Mirror in all of my divination cards, or to say, I’ve never heard of any diviner having such a card in their deck."

"A sign from the heavens."

The boy who had been following behind everyone suddenly spoke up, clearly having heard the conversation between Feng Yuan and Gladys. Looking at the card in Feng Yuan’s hand, the boy smiled and said to Feng Yuan,

"May I take a look? These kinds of signs often herald something significant."

"A sign from the heavens, huh? It seems likely."

Gladys wasn’t unaware of this phenomenon; all who dabble in divination knew of it. When some great events are about to occur, what’s known as a heavenly sign might appear in a divination. Before, she simply thought it was someone’s prank and didn’t consider this angle since the last sightings of heavenly signs pertained to wartime prophecies.

"Why would there be a heavenly sign at Lake Bai Dao?"

The boy looked at the card in his hand with some confusion. The mere appearance of a heavenly sign, without mentioning anything else, would certainly lead to a mass evacuation of Lake Bai Dao.

"Never mind, let’s just pretend we don’t know,"

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly as he snatched the card, to which the boy retorted coldly,

"Are you joking?!"

"Do you even realize what a heavenly sign represents?"

"Isn’t it just a sign of a major event?"

Feng Yuan said indifferently, trying to snatch the card from his hand but the boy who ended up grabbing nothing angrily said

"Every time Tianzhao occurs, it’s an event significant enough to impact the world, you—"

"What’s that got to do with me?"

Feng Yuan smirked as black flames ignited in his hand, and the card gradually turned to ash within the flames. Gladys paused, not understanding, and said to Feng Yuan,

"Why would you do this? I thought you..."

"Feng Yuan! What on earth are you doing!"

Qi Chen roared dissatisfiedly, and spreading his hands, Feng Yuan said,

"I certainly don’t want this match to end prematurely."

"Why? You know that ignoring this could lead to many deaths!"

Qi Chen roared in confusion at Feng Yuan. Although many had tried to decipher and prepare for the Tianzhao of the past Guard War, it still resulted in massive casualties. If Feng Yuan were to conceal the Tianzhao now, the consequences...

"Do you know something?"

Dou Yanlan gazed at Feng Yuan, asking. She didn’t quite believe that Feng Yuan could be so heartless. Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"That’s probably just a hint given to me, don’t forget about this. If it’s truly a crisis of this world, there’s no reason I wouldn’t know."

Pointing at the rune circle behind him, Feng Yuan looked helpless as Agunas scrutinized him and said,

"Are you sure? What if it’s not Lake Bai Dao?"

"Didn’t her divination concern Lake Bai Dao? Could it yield results for any other place? If so, even if you all report it, it’s useless; no one can guess the answer."

Tianzhao is not a prophecy, but an ambiguous hint. If even the location is unknown, then not even Lorraine Tower could guess what it refers to. The boy said dissatisfied,

"What if another Guard War happens?"

Looking at the boy, Feng Yuan said in an icy tone,

"If that’s the case, there’s no need for Tianzhao to hint at me; wouldn’t it be better to be told directly?"

"But during the Guard War wasn’t it..."

"The Tianzhao of the Guard War was just a reminder for humans. If I’m not mistaken, most Divine Beasts received a clear message."

Seeing Gladys look at him, Agunas shook his head and said,

"Don’t ask me about that; I’m not clear on the situation back then."

"However, this is probably just a hint for him otherwise it wouldn’t have appeared in your hands."

As Agunas spoke, he pulled a card depicting the Eye of the Mirror from his book and continued, "Just now, I sensed a strange power surge into the book I was holding, and sure enough, it came out direct from the book."

"So this is a riddle for me?"

Feng Yuan took the card from Agunas’s hand, somewhat speechless. At this moment, the boy and Gladys were frozen, and Qi Chen asked Dou Yanlan with some confusion,

"What’s going on?"

"The same Tianzhao won’t occur twice, and normally, Tianzhao can only happen during divination, but now..."

Dou Yanlan was certain Agunas had done nothing; it just indiscriminately pulled it out from its book, which also proved that this thing was indeed different from the Tianzhao of the Guard War. According to the records at that time, there were several Tianzhao during the Guard War, and many were overlooked for various reasons.

There were even many that vanished without a trace, and none of these Tianzhao ever reappeared, which is to say, all of them were different. Unlike now, after being casually destroyed by Feng Yuan, they surfaced again.

"Eye of the Mirror, eh... I really have no idea what that means."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan took the card from Agunas’s hand, puzzled by the strange eye-shaped pattern on it. After pondering for a moment, he nonchalantly stuffed it into his pocket; as long as he maintained the Tianzhao’s timing, he would be forewarned if anything bad happened.

"You... Aren’t you going to notify anyone else?"

Seeing how casually Feng Yuan treated the matter, Qi Chen asked worriedly. Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"There’s no need, and what I find strange is why would He bother to give me this kind of reminder?"

"Why?"

As Agunas looked puzzled, pulling out the Eye of the Mirror from the book again, Feng Yuan froze, touched his pocket, and to his surprise found that the card had disappeared.
