Aren't Alliances Made to Be Broken?
The area of Academy Island, located in the Tianpiao Ocean, is not very large, just about 10,000 square kilometers.
Therefore, even though Shengtian Public School is located near the center of the island.
Even with the school's considerable size, the closest point to the coast is only about ten kilometers away.
"Bang!"
The flames from the explosion reappeared within Shengtian Public School.
Metal shells streaked across the darkening sky and landed directly inside the public school.
The Psychic Energy contained within the shell had clearly undergone special processing, resulting in exceptionally violent fluctuations.
These suddenly appearing shells came from the Tianpiao Ocean.
To be precise, they were several ships from the Tianpiao Ocean.
The lead ship had a jet-black hull that blended almost seamlessly into the dark sea after nightfall.
Only on one side of the bow are distinctive gold-threaded emblems outlined there.
If Shisui were here today, he would find these unique patterns somewhat familiar.
This was strikingly similar to the gold thread pattern carved on the carriage that Bo Xiqian had ridden that day.
Clearly, the ownership of these ships is an open secret.
"Loading, ready!"
Inside the command center of the lead warship, everyone's focus was now on the headquarters of the Academic Clique in Mao City.
They finally managed to catch the other side in the wrong, even during their weakened period after the turmoil.
The powerful families, of course, couldn't bear to let such a good opportunity slip by. If they didn't take advantage of the situation now and seize control of Mao City, when would they ever get another chance?
You've controlled one of the most important water transport hubs for over a decade, raking in so much profit; now it's time for someone else to get a piece of the action.
"Emission!"
At a command, the fleet belonging to the aristocratic families pointed their cannons at Shengtian and fired again in a salvo.
Then, the school's tall buildings began to collapse one by one, and the falling bricks and steel bars crushed and killed many ordinary students.
Ordinary people below the Profound Realm, having just escaped the turmoil and not yet fully recovered from the chaos, were killed by the attacks of the aristocratic families.
Seeing the entire public school in such a mess, Shengtian's old principal's eyes widened in fury.
He never imagined that such a thing would happen during his term, when he was about to step down.
He could already imagine that his status within the faction would plummet.
After stepping down as principal, he will lose the chance to obtain the senior councilor position that was originally within his grasp.
His life's work has been shattered by the powerful families.
Thinking of this, the Psychic Energy pressure of the Heaven Realm erupted within him, and his anger surged forth uncontrollably.
Anger did not make the old headmaster lose his mind; on the contrary, his mind became even clearer.
Taking a hostage to threaten these powerful families is not an effective way to deal with them.
For them, the interests of the family come first, and no one is irreplaceable.
However, the strategy of "capturing the king first" still works in some respects.
The old headmaster glanced at them and quickly determined from the enemy's subconscious positioning and eye contact that the group belonged to the leading family.
Then, they directly attacked the Bo Xi clan, who were mixed among various families.
Killing the enemy leader first, while unable to stop the enemy's invasion, can at least interrupt their offensive momentum.
The aura of the Heaven Realm suddenly enveloped the heads of a direct descendant of the Bo Xi Family.
Out of caution, Bo Xiwan, who was directing operations from several kilometers away, turned pale at this moment.
He didn't panic. He immediately stopped the instinctive trembling in his body, adjusted his Psychic Energy fluctuations, and sent a message remotely.
"Elder, Third Elder, the Heaven Realm of Shengtian has been disturbed; it's Lan Guihang."
"Understood, Patriarch, there's no need to worry. Both of us are of a higher cultivation level than that old man; killing him will be a piece of cake."
Having received a response from the clan elders, Bo Xiwan was relieved.
Just as he relaxed for a moment, a pale hand suddenly appeared and placed on his shoulder.
Good evening, Bo Xi Family.
Bo Xiwan's hair stood on end instantly, and his blue pupils suddenly contracted.
He quickly turned and retreated, his Psychic Energy circulating rapidly within him.
The aura of the Third Realms of the Profound Realm is now spreading through the Psychic Energy Barrier that is not commensurate with his cultivation level.
His calm face remained expressionless, maintaining his dignity as the head of the family.
However, his fixed gaze on the newcomer betrayed his unease.
"It's you? Yue Jian, what are you doing here?"
Standing before Bo Xiwan at this moment was Shisui, who had returned to Shengtian Public School from the Citroën Company.
He tilted his head, his gaze subtly sweeping over the group.
Then, some found it amusing, sensing that the other party's cultivation level was only at the Third Realm of the Profound Realm.
Advancing First Realm in a month—is this what Human Race call a genius?
As Zi Sui Shisui Bo Xiwan, Bo Xiwan was also scrutinizing him.
A white-haired youth wearing a crimson mask stood in the night.
When he is quiet, his peaceful aura makes him almost blend into his surroundings.
Bo Xiwan did not sense any Psychic Energy fluctuations from the other party.
So, his gaze subconsciously began to search for any small items on the other person's body.
Then, Bo Xiwan's gaze fell on the earring worn alone on Shisui's left earlobe.
It was a small silver earring, with rubies set in the center and at the four corners.
Five translucent, rhomboid gemstones gleamed with an eerie, blood-red light in the darkness.
The design features a simple long cross, with a delicate silver chain at the top connecting to the earlobe.
Because Shisui was slightly tilting his head in a relaxed posture, his earring was in mid-air, swaying gently in the night breeze.
That cross was different from the one Bo Xiwan remembered Xue Jiuyao from.
Bo Xiwan clearly remembered that on the day of the negotiation, the earring he was wearing on his left ear was Xue Jiuyao's.
He replaced the Psychic Energy Barrier.
When did you connect with Citroën?
Bo Xiwan never imagined that Shisui had actually seized Citroën's production line.
After a brief standoff, seeing that Shisui still didn't answer, Bo Xiwan continued, "You seem to have a lot of free time?"
As he spoke, he walked to the folding table next to Shisui, intending to pick up the map on it.
"Perfect timing. As an ally, they can go in and help me kill some more Profound Realm students in these locations..."
The Rinkaku Scorpion Tail pierced Bo Xiwan's nape from the shadows, abruptly silencing him.
At the same time, in Alternate Space, the blood of a separated body spontaneously combusted and turned to ashes in a moment.
The long tail needle pierced his neck, and [Bone-Clinging Maggot] was activated instantly.
Under Bo Xiwan's horrified gaze, Shisui briefly shut down the Psychic Energy Barrier, and the fluctuations of the Fifth Realm of the Profound Realm vanished in an instant.
He wanted to ask why the other person's cultivation level had increased so rapidly.
I'd like to ask when he arrived at the watershed of the Profound Realm.
And why [Blood Oath] was ineffective against him.
However, the constant gushing of bright red blood and the rampant toxins rendered him almost unable to speak.
Only in a state of lucidity can one feel the rapid passage of their own life.
Before he breathed his last, he struggled and asked, still unwilling to accept it, "Why... why... kill... me?"
Shisui used his scorpion tail to coil Bo Xiwan's body, and the red stream that meandered from his body carried a faint coffee scent.
Bikaku emerged, enveloping Bo Xiwan, followed by a series of clicking sounds.
"You're of no use anymore, so of course I'm here to break the alliance."
After acquiring a key Citroën truck, he obtained ample intelligence.
Therefore, the preliminary work of the infiltration investigation was unnecessary.
Therefore, Bo Xiwan naturally had no other role besides supplying Psychic Energy.
As for alliances, aren't alliances meant to be torn up?
