Chapter 672: To the Ends of the Earth, I Can Find You

Jiang Zuo quickly reeled Duan Qiao over.

Without wasting any words, Jiang Zuo said directly, “Try and see if you can blanket this area with a signal, just like the Celestial Star Cave Mansion.”

Duan Qiao didn’t see its mistress, so it figured this must have something to do with her.

Not daring to hesitate, it immediately tried to establish a signal connection.

It managed to connect to the signal here fairly quickly, then tried to extend that connection to the surrounding area.

This place was far larger than the Celestial Star Cave Mansion, so it took Duan Qiao a long time.

Jiang Zuo stood motionlessly, not wanting to disturb Duan Qiao.

He was waiting for an answer. If this failed, he would find another way to locate Su Qi. He had to send word that he was safe, and quickly, no matter how difficult it might be.

Half an hour later, Duan Qiao opened its eyes. “I’ve found something, but it’s not cooperating.”

Jiang Zuo remained silent, letting Duan Qiao continue.

“It’s a Spirit Beast, and it should be quite powerful. It has the ability to spread signals; it’s the only target that responded to my signal. But it rejected the connection I sent.”

Jiang Zuo simply asked, “Where?”

Duan Qiao pointed to the sky. “Way up high.”

Jiang Zuo glanced up, then summoned the Little Wild Cat with a wave of his hand.

This time, the Little Wild Cat just poked its head out, probably to see if there was anything to eat.

But the moment the Little Wild Cat appeared, several explosions erupted in the sea, much to its delight. With a ZIP, it plunged into the water.

It emerged a moment later, looking utterly pleased with itself, a fish dangling from its mouth.

But when it tried to dive back in, it found it couldn’t go down.

That was because Jiang Zuo was ascending into the sky.

The Little Wild Cat let out a low growl at Jiang Zuo, but it didn’t dare to go up after him.

This human wasn’t afraid of her at all; he wouldn’t even explode.

Besides, the Little Wild Cat remembered that he had hurt her before.

Especially when he lost his temper, she was so scared she didn’t even dare come out to eat.

But there was something in the sky, too.

The Little Wild Cat was ecstatic. Things were exploding all over, and she leaped about everywhere.

She seemed incredibly happy.

She had already tossed the fish aside.

Jiang Zuo paid the Little Wild Cat no mind. If she was happy, she could eat her fill; no one would stop her.

‘Fortunately, this is her true form. If it wasn’t, this would be a lot more trouble.’

‘It seems the Little Wild Cat really is special. The one I summon is basically her true form.’

As Jiang Zuo flew higher and higher, the things above naturally grew scarcer, so the Little Wild Cat had no choice but to follow him obediently.

Just then, Jiang Zuo frowned. He sensed it, but it was actually fleeing.

At that moment, Duan Qiao said, “The distance is increasing.”

Jiang Zuo called over the Little Wild Cat and said, “Break the distance restriction. Catch it.”

With a ZIP, the Little Wild Cat gave chase. Although she didn’t understand anything, she saw it: a tasty morsel. A very tasty morsel.

Jiang Zuo said to Duan Qiao, “Keep trying to connect to it.”

Duan Qiao acknowledged the command and immediately resumed the connection attempt.

Jiang Zuo watched from behind, seeing the Little Wild Cat get closer and closer to the Spirit Beast.

The Spirit Beast’s flight speed grew slower and slower, its form even becoming unsteady. In other words, it hadn’t exploded directly, but it was being affected by the Little Wild Cat.

The distance was too great; otherwise, it might have exploded on the spot.

At that moment, the Spirit Beast let out a sudden, mournful cry, and Duan Qiao announced, “Connection established.”

Jiang Zuo snapped his fingers, and the Little Wild Cat vanished.

Little Wild Cat: “???? “

‘Where’s my tasty morsel?’

————

Jiang Zuo now approached the Spirit Beast. The creature was practically invisible; an ordinary person would never be able to perceive it, let alone see it.

It was a bat-like Spirit Beast that Jiang Zuo recalled was called a Xilin Bat.

Xilin Bats are born with transcendent perception, able to sense things ordinary people cannot and, more importantly, transmit special information.

The stronger they are, the wider their coverage.

They’re similar to regional signal towers.

Jiang Zuo looked at the Xilin Bat, and the Xilin Bat looked back at Jiang Zuo.

“Establish full signal coverage,” Jiang Zuo said coldly.

The Xilin Bat didn’t speak, but merely lowered its head to look at Jiang Zuo.

‘This human clearly isn’t that strong. If it weren’t for that strange human child, I never would have yielded.’

In the end, the Xilin Bat bowed its head. It was furious, especially since it had been disturbed at a critical moment.

But, for the sake of survival…

It had no choice but to yield.

The instant the Xilin Bat bowed its head, Jiang Zuo felt his Saintess Mark stir, and a change also occurred on the creature’s body.

However, Jiang Zuo didn’t pay it much mind.

‘Now is not the time to be concerned about that.’

Soon, Jiang Zuo dialed Su Qi’s phone number.

「Meanwhile, on a distant stretch of sea」

Su Qi’s face was etched with anxiety. She gritted her teeth, her expression resolute.

But her heart was in turmoil and had been for a long time.

She couldn’t find him. She couldn’t find her husband. There was no news, no trace of his presence.

Her husband’s Magic was limited, and she was terrified that he’d had an accident.

So all she could do was keep flying, keep searching.

But there wasn’t a single clue.

She couldn’t fly for too long, so whenever her Spiritual Qi was depleted, she would immediately consume Elixir Pills to recover.

She wouldn’t stop until she found him.

But just then, her cell phone suddenly rang.

‘How can there be a signal at a time like this?’

‘A hallucination?’

But she didn’t feel like she was.

She took out her phone and was astonished to find that she really did have a signal—and it was a call from her husband.

In her excitement, she lost her grip on the phone and it fell straight into the sea.

This gave Su Qi such a fright that for a moment, she forgot to cast a spell.

Thankfully, she dove right in and snatched the phone, then landed on the surface of the water, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest. (It was waterproof, actually.)

After answering, Su Qi didn’t dare to speak, afraid it might not be real.

Then Jiang Zuo’s voice came through. “You haven’t been worrying and crying like a silly girl, have you?”

Hearing his words, Su Qi’s nose began to sting. She pouted. “Who’s worried?”

Jiang Zuo said gently, “I’m fine, so don’t rush to find me. This place seems ridiculously huge, and there are no directions to orient by.”

Su Qi’s voice was full of grievance. “But… but I’m worried about you.”

Jiang Zuo chuckled lightly. “Don’t worry, I’m really stronger than you are. You just have to protect yourself. Just wait for me to find you.”

Su Qi sounded dejected. “But how will you find me?”

His talk about being stronger than her went completely over her head.

When she wasn’t by his side, she just worried.

Jiang Zuo gazed into the distance. “With Mind Sensing. I can feel where you are.”

Su Qi grew excited. “Nonsense! I don’t have that kind of sense. You’re just humoring me.”

Jiang Zuo laughed. “Trust me. I can find you no matter where you are, even at the ends of the earth. Just wait for me.”

Su Qi was stunned for a moment, then said, “Then I’ll stand right here and wait for you.”

Jiang Zuo shook his head. “No, don’t do that. Go find a safe place nearby and look around. This place is huge, so there should be plenty of islands. You might even run into that Dragon. With its power, it could probably find me in an instant.”

‘That Dragon definitely has Spatial Power, at least Entry Level Spatial Power.’

‘If it can’t extend that power outside this place, it can surely open a Space Gate here.’

‘Without Spatial Power, it would have been impossible for the Dragon Bead to be fished out.’

‘Duan Qiao’s Spatial Power isn’t strong enough to reel in a Dragon Bead that large.’

‘So, the Dragon must have intentionally let its Dragon Bead get reeled out.’

‘As for what it’s trying to do, I’ll have to go ask it myself.’

‘Of all the people to seek out, why did it have to pick a married man?’
