The Pack's Unspoken Understanding

The Bikaku coiled and knotted, making a cracking sound, as if it were swallowing and digesting something hard.

Shisui picked up the map that had fallen to the ground; it contained detailed information about the entire Mao City and its surrounding waters.

It even marked the streets, buildings, and the personnel deployments of some of the Academic Cliques that it had discovered.

Therefore, when this map is fully unfolded on the table, it is much larger than a regular map.

Shisui looked at the strategic map on the table with great interest, his fingers gently stroking the estuary located almost at the center of the map.

In Mao City above, people from all walks of life are scattered about who have some connection with the Academic Clique.

The remaining Academic Clique in Mao City is the intricate network of teacher-student relationships at Shengtian, headed by the Lan Family.

This is actually just like a family with no blood relation, except that the bond has been replaced by inheritance.

Perhaps their biggest difference from aristocratic families is that Human Race families often directly control every aspect of a city.

Shengtian's control over Mao City was indirect.

Just like the mayor of Mao City once attended Shengtian Public School, most of the city's defense team are also graduates of Shengtian.

Even the regular Human Race army stationed in the southern part of the Moonfall Continent was commanded by graduates of Shengtian.

And this doesn't even include the "outstanding" graduates in the business world.

Shisui carefully examined the painting, then lowered his gaze, deftly rolled up the scroll, and stored it in his Alternate Space.

He had absolutely no interest in taking over Mao City; he knew all too well how troublesome it would be to manage such a large population.

Therefore, rather than keeping the chicken to lay eggs, Shisui preferred to slaughter it and make soup.

Those places that are specifically marked on the map are definitely important locations in Mao City, or areas that are difficult to conquer.

For someone like him, who cheats with spatial abilities, what's the difference between this and a treasure map?

Ukaku stretched out from behind Shisui, their dark purple light flowing through the deep night.

With a single slash of the enormous wing, Feather Powder adhered to the wound in space, instantly forming Wormhole.

Compared to the past, this Wormhole is more stable and more silent.

The Spatial Energy disorder that would have appeared around the Wormhole due to the cutting also disappeared.

The wind whipped up by the attack ruffled her Shisui white hair and long earrings; as the silver cross swayed, the Flesh Crystals on it could be seen shimmering with a faint light.

The latest Psychic Energy Barrier, which we snatched from Citroën, is in limited quantities as it has just entered production.

However, there are many un-embedded semi-finished products that serve as energy sources—that is, Coagulated Blood Crystals.

For Shisui, who possessed Kakugan, inserting the even smaller, compressed Flesh Crystals was effortless.

It was completed casually on the way to find Bo Xiwan.

He entered the Wormhole, and the barrier continuously emitted special Psychic Energy fluctuations, smoothing out the Spatial Turbulence at the edge of the Wormhole.

So when the Bo Xi Family rushed here, the Space Wormhole that had just disappeared a moment ago didn't leave them with even a trace of energy fluctuation.

Apart from a folding table, scattered papers, and a few drops of Bo Xiwan's blood, the scene was empty.

"All personnel, emergency deployment to Academy Island to protect Shengtian Public School!"

At this moment, all the soldiers at a border post along the coast of Mao City have come out.

This vital city defense force, located near the seaside warehouses, has been transferred away quite easily.

"It seems that Shengtian was indeed injured by the sudden attack."

Shisui strolled leisurely into the sentry post through the main gate, brushing past the departing troop of people.

Fine, Radiant Feathers clung to their clothes as they joined the other soldiers at the sentry post.

"Three with one!"

"Tsk, no."

"I'll pressure you!"

As soon as he entered the room, Shisui heard the familiar sound of cards being played.

"Damn it, do you even know how to fight? He's in cahoots with you, are you going to put pressure on him?"

"Dude, bring the food over. If I keep watching you play cards, I'm afraid my high blood pressure will flare up."

The soldiers who had stayed behind to play cards were cursing and swearing when suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out from among them.

"He's really bad at the game. How about I play?"

The soldiers immediately went on alert, but it was too late.

Before the Feather Bullets pierced their bodies, they didn't even have time to turn around and see who it was.

All that could be heard was a voice, tinged with laughter, saying, "Good evening, everyone."

The Steel Feathers Ukaku fired a dense Feather Bullets, wiping out all life on the scene in one fell swoop.

Under the bright lights of the sentry post, large amounts of Flesh Crystals appeared and disappeared.

"Finished, next one."

As the battle on Academy Island intensifies, the defenses within Mao City become increasingly weak.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of explosions rang out amidst the chaotic Psychic Energy fluctuations.

The entire Academy Island now shines like a torch in the night, drawing everyone's attention.

This makes the peaceful Mao City on the other side of the strait seem even more tranquil.

"Laugh!"

The White Owl stood in the magnificent, hundred-square-meter bedroom, completely revealing the heart of a wealthy businessman.

Tonight, all the sheep protected by the Academic Clique will be exposed to the wolves' hunting frenzy.

Human Race high command agents were also mixed in among them.

They did not want to have to argue with landlords and wealthy merchants when taking over Mao City.

It is their honor to have all their property returned to the Human Race and used to contribute to the reconstruction of Mao City.

Therefore, the Dragon Spirit Species and the Human Race high command officials reached a tacit agreement on purging the Academic Faction.

As for who will ultimately control Mao City, that will depend on who has the better skills.

"Strange, why can't I get in touch with Xun Yu?"

"Hmm? Where is he stationed? Let me find him for you."

Two men, their Earth Realm bound with heavy iron chains, stood on a pool of blood, talking quietly.

"He usually waits in front of the Shengtian Public Library; he should have been released from confinement by now."

One of the younger youths looked worried, his soft blond hair now hanging down.

The other middle-aged man who had accompanied him on the mission suddenly understood after hearing this.

"Imprisoned? Ah, he's a garrison soldier, no wonder."

Seeing that the young man seemed a bit confused, he continued.

"Having just emerged from petrification, your senses will be abnormal, and you may not be able to receive information transmitted by Psychic Energy fluctuations for a while."

Upon hearing this, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt saddened by his future.

Once I break through to the Earth Realm Fifth Realm, I'll probably be sent to a certain place and then imprisoned.

Thinking about this, the sense of accomplishment from advancing in realms that used to fill me with pride now feels bitter.

However, he still dared not stop his cultivation.

He is not alone; he has his parents and his newborn sister.

If sacrificing himself could bring a comfortable life to his family, he would gladly do it.

"Thank you for your explanation, senior. Let's move on to the next one!"

The fluffy blond hair flew up again, and the middle-aged man gazed at the young child in front of him, letting out a barely perceptible sigh.

Let's go.
