Chapter 822: Time Pocket Watch

"Teacher, could this be the legendary Sage of Youkai, Yakumo Yukari?" Kaguya looked at Yakumo Yukari beside Lingyun, a trace of astonishment in her eyes.

Although she had never seen Yakumo Yukari's true face, Yakumo Yukari's Gap was her signature mark, and it was by this that she recognized her.

"That's right, she is Yakumo Yukari," Lingyun nodded and said.

"Then, Teacher, what is your relationship with Yakumo Yukari?" Kaguya looked at Yakumo Yukari's upper body, which was nearly leaning against Lingyun, and asked while pinching the corner of her clothes.

"We are, I suppose, friends, and also partners," Lingyun shrugged and said.

"Friends, partners?" Kaguya was somewhat puzzled; she had never heard Lingyun mention having any relationship with the famous Sage of Youkai.

"We met a while ago," Lingyun explained, then turned toward Yakumo Yukari. "By the way, has the matter with the Oni been settled?"

"Mm, after you finished that fight last night, the matter was effectively decided. With the help of the Oni, the subsequent tasks will be much easier," Yakumo Yukari nodded and said.

"Then you can rest for a few days now, right?" Lingyun asked.

"Rest? I don't have time to rest right now!" Yakumo Yukari shook her head and said. "Since the matter with the Oni is resolved, I might as well take this time to go to the Tengu and bring them under control as well."

"The Tengu?" Lingyun nodded.

"Alright, seeing you like this puts my mind at ease, so I won't disturb you and your students any longer," Yakumo Yukari said with a grin, her figure shrinking into a Gap and disappearing.

"Teacher, that Sage is not a simple character. You should be cautious when dealing with her; don't let her sell you out by accident," Kaguya warned.

"I know, I have a handle on this," Lingyun nodded. "Alright, it's morning now, you should start your morning lessons!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Having left the Bamboo Forest, Yakumo Yukari suddenly felt a terrifying power locking onto her. This power was in no way inferior to her own, and there were even signs that it exceeded it.

"Since you have come, Your Excellency, why not reveal yourself?" Yakumo Yukari gripped the folding fan in her hand and said calmly.

A figure suddenly appeared before Yakumo Yukari, her pretty face full of coldness. The figure held a long bow, the sharp arrow aimed at Yakumo Yukari's heart.

"Eh, isn't this the Lunar Sage, Yagokoro Eirin? I wonder what business the Lunar Sage has with me?" Seeing the person before her, Yakumo Yukari said unhurriedly.

"Sage of Youkai, I don't care what schemes you have in mind, you had best not involve my Princess, otherwise, I will absolutely make you pay dearly!" Yagokoro Eirin looked at Yakumo Yukari and said coldly.

"The schemes in my mind?" Yakumo Yukari looked at the Sage of Youkai before her, her eyes darting around, wondering what she was thinking.

Seeing Yakumo Yukari like this, Yagokoro Eirin's vigilance grew even stronger, and the power on the tip of the arrow became increasingly intense.

"Don't think about escaping; the space in this area has been sealed by me, you cannot leave!" Yagokoro Eirin said sternly.

"Lunar Sage, you underestimate me too much. With this mere space seal, you cannot stop me!" Yakumo Yukari's expression gradually turned serious, and powerful Demon Power surged around her, causing the space seal set by Yagokoro Eirin to shatter completely. "However, setting your sights on your Princess? If you hadn't mentioned it, I truly wouldn't have had any such thoughts, but now that you bring it up, I really do have such ideas!"

"Yakumo Yukari, you are courting death!" A flash of anger crossed Yagokoro Eirin's eyes, and a sharp arrow wrapped in terrifying power shot toward Yakumo Yukari.

A Gap suddenly opened in mid-air, swallowing Yagokoro Eirin's arrow. Although Yagokoro Eirin's arrow possessed powerful force, it did not cause a single ripple after being swallowed into the Gap.

Seeing this Gap, a trace of wariness appeared on Yagokoro Eirin's face. Possessing a rule-breaking ability like the Gap, Yakumo Yukari herself possessed the ability to challenge gods. If it were a head-on clash, she naturally would not fear Yakumo Yukari. But if Yakumo Yukari wanted to run, she could not catch up at all.

"What I said just now was not a joke. The Lunar Sage must have heard rumors about what I am doing now. If the Lunar Sage is interested in my plan, you can come and discuss it with me!" Yakumo Yukari said with a grin, then her figure disappeared into the Gap.

Yagokoro Eirin looked at the direction where Yakumo Yukari had disappeared, her expression uncertain, not knowing what she was thinking. If this Sage of Youkai had truly set her sights on her Princess, then it was definitely a headache-inducing problem. Moreover, Yakumo Yukari seemed to have an unusual relationship with Lingyun, which made it even more difficult to handle.

"However, establishing a paradise belonging to youkai, huh?" Yagokoro Eirin muttered to herself. "Perhaps, it could leave a retreat for the Princess?"

Lingyun did not know what had happened between Yagokoro Eirin and Yakumo Yukari. He was currently holding a silver Pocket Watch, carving something onto it. Around Lingyun's body, powerful Time Power lingered; a small gnat approached Lingyun, only to instantly turn to ash and disappear under the powerful Time Power.

Fujiwara no Mokou focused all her attention on the book in front of her and did not notice this. But Kaguya, on the side, keenly sensed the time fluctuations and looked sharply toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun had just finished his work, and a powerful time fluctuation surged on the silver Pocket Watch in his hand. However, this time fluctuation quickly hid itself, making the Pocket Watch look no different from an ordinary one.

"Finished, that really wasn't easy!" Lingyun rubbed his temples, looking at the Pocket Watch in his hand.

"Teacher, what is this thing?" Kaguya slipped to Lingyun's side and asked with some curiosity.

"This? A Time Pocket Watch. Using this Pocket Watch, one can control time to a certain extent," Lingyun shook the Pocket Watch in his hand.

This Pocket Watch was something he had created using Zafkiel as inspiration and the Time Power he had mastered. While making this Pocket Watch, he had even inadvertently stripped away a portion of the Time Law of this world and integrated it into it. If one could fully control this Pocket Watch, one could even drive the Time Law of this world.

"Time Pocket Watch?" Looking at the Pocket Watch in Lingyun's hand, stars twinkled in Kaguya's eyes.

"This Pocket Watch is not for you!" After creating this Pocket Watch, Lingyun knew that it should not be taken out of this world.

After all, the Time Law he had accidentally stripped from this world was integrated into this Pocket Watch; taking this Pocket Watch out of this world would be equivalent to taking away a part of this world's Time Law. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the world didn't get angry with him.

"Tsk, forget it, let's just consider it something I left for this world," Lingyun waved his hand, a Space-Time Gate appeared before him, and he threw the Pocket Watch inside.

"Teacher, that is too wasteful!" Watching the Pocket Watch being thrown into the Space-Time Gate by Lingyun, Kaguya's eyes were full of heartache.

"Rest assured, it will find its fated person!" Lingyun said with a faint smile.

Thinking of this, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed through Lingyun's mind.

"Ha, could it be her? Maybe it's actually possible!" Lingyun smiled and closed the Space-Time Gate in his hand.

"Who is she?" Kaguya pounced in front of Lingyun and asked.

"Perhaps you will have a chance to meet her in the future!" Lingyun waved his hand and did not say who that person was.
