Shisui leisurely behind the fleet, remaining completely silent without emitting even the slightest Psychic Energy fluctuation.

Just to be on the safe side, he even wore a brand new, identical Psychic Energy Suppressor.

The original earring shattered when he ascended to the Earth Realm due to disordered Psychic Energy fluctuations.

But none of that matters. We still have plenty of suppressors that we robbed... oh, no, I mean, that Citroën kindly gifted us.

After he put on the suppressor, even when he uses Psychic Energy, there will be virtually no fluctuations unless he significantly disturbs the free psionic Psychic Energy in the air.

Meanwhile, Arakawa Jiushu returned to the island the fleet had left.

The two passed each other again.

"White Owl," Jiang Ning stepped forward, "Thank you for your hard work. Give me a mission report later."

Arakawa Jiushu landed from the air, and the instant she heard Jiang Ning's voice, she sensed something was amiss.

"Hmm," he replied casually and walked straight into the camp.

Something was wrong. His expression, actions, and tone were all normal, but he instinctively sensed a hint of murderous intent.

Did the heartless corpse solidify his suspicions?

Although Arakawa Jiushu is indeed two-faced, he really didn't do it this time.

It can only be said that Jiang Ning never trusted him in the first place, and now he has just found "evidence" to support his intuition.

He will likely be gradually pushed out of his already less-than-core position of responsibility.

Furthermore, they will be completely relegated to the status of a weapon that can be discarded at any time and used at will.

Arakawa Jiushu didn't seem to care about it; rather, she was used to it.

That was how he worked at his old employer in the Demon Race; the reason he switched jobs wasn't to change his work environment.

He simply felt he could no longer get any benefits from his former employer.

Arakawa Jiushu's white pupils were filled with an arrogant disdain for all other living beings.

Just like examining prey waiting to be slaughtered.

Passing through the corridor where soldiers occasionally gave orders, Arakawa Jiushu returned to her temporary lodging.

It is a two-story building located near the harbor within the garrison area.

The location isn't exactly on the periphery, but it doesn't feel like the core either.

Arakawa Jiushu didn't bother to check for listening devices after entering the room.

Do I even need to search for this?

Look at all these foliage plants and small ornaments everywhere; it's safe to assume they're being monitored.

There might be quite a bit of surveillance involved.

However, without a way to hide from surveillance equipment, what kind of double agent would Arakawa Jiushu be?

He walked into the living room so naturally that he collapsed onto the soft sofa.

Then, the instant he sat down, he subtly crushed something hidden in the sofa cushions.

The faint cracking sound was swallowed up by the heavy sofa and the sound of him sitting down.

The surveillance cameras hidden throughout the room failed to detect this unusual occurrence concealed in the everyday routine.

Bai Ye sat in front of a large number of communicators, organizing the intelligence he had gathered in Chongming City over the past few days.

On the display screen of a signal receiver, a rough world map appeared.

Scattered across the map are several flashing red dots, indicating that something is occasionally sending signals here.

Suddenly, a red dot located on the edge of the Ringwater Continent went completely out.

Bai Ye attention was always partially focused on the screen, immediately noticed this.

So she immediately turned on both communicators and reported in a low voice.

"The White Owl's signal on Front Fort Islet has been lost; he's probably already a suspect."

Li Nai'an's voice came through one of the communicators.

"Understood, prepare to close the net."

After answering, Li Nai'an cut off the communication. She was still in the city gathering intelligence and it was inconvenient to communicate for a long time.

Therefore, she did not notice the subtle, louder-than-usual hissing sound coming from the communicator.

That was a small noise caused by the interaction of signals from other nearby communicators that Psychic Energy.

Aren't you afraid she'll find out?

After Li Nai'an hung up the communication, a voice came from the other communicator.

"Of course I'm scared, but the more obvious I am, the more excuses I can make when I'm caught, right?"

With a face that is soft-featured and has an innocent appearance, Bai Ye openly declares his desire to be a fence-sitter.

She didn't wait for the other person to continue commenting on her perverse behavior, and then she spoke.

"Instead of worrying about whether I'll be exposed, you should be more concerned about how to pass the intelligence on to the Beastfolk of the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Lineage."

"Now that I'm on the Demon Race's side, even if I present them with intelligence about the Sea Race's impending attack on the Kaiyang Continent, they'll still doubt its authenticity."

"Only you can handle this."

The person on the other end of the communicator calmly replied, "Thank you for your concern, I've already sent the intelligence."

"Whether they believe it or not is their business; I have already shown them the consideration due to our shared Beastfolk."

What happens next is none of my business.

After saying that, he hung up the call.

"Hmph, that's quite heartless of you," Bai Ye said, unperturbed after being disconnected.

"In the end, they still took the initiative to ask for the information and sent it over."

She stopped interfering in the affairs of other Beastfolk branches and focused most of her attention back on the complex task of intelligence gathering.

Even though she was not loyal to the Demon Race, at this moment she was an intelligence agent sent by the Demon Race to the Sea Race.

Even if it's just for his own life, Bai Ye has to work hard.

However, it's hard to say how much of this compiled intelligence is true and how much is a mixture of truth and falsehood.

"It would be best if the Human Race, the Demon Race, and the Sea Race were all severely weakened."

The barely audible murmurs were drowned out by the noise from the isolation equipment.

Southern part of the Kaiyang Continent, along both banks of the Spirit Resonance River.

The Human Race and Beastfolk armies here have been fighting intermittently for over two months, with each side experiencing victories and defeats.

If the initial reason for starting the war was under the guise of "the Bloody Unified Exam"—to avenge the tragic deaths of those examinees—then...

Now, both sides are unwilling to yield to each other because of the blood debts of war.

The fighting has escalated to this point, with a large number of lower and middle-ranking soldiers thrown in, turning the once clear river water a pale red. It's no longer an easy battle to stop.

Inside the command tent nestled in the jungle, a soldier quietly approached the soldier guarding the tent and whispered his report.

"Reporting, sir, anonymous military intelligence."

The soldier had intended to reprimand the Beastfolk who had suddenly approached, but his expression changed when he saw the style of the wax seal on the letter in the beastman's hand.

He immediately took the envelope, and then deliberately shouted something.

"Don't try to pull strings. Even if you say he's my third uncle's neighbor's cousin, he'd have to wait in line to get an easy job!"

He pretended to chase away the plain-looking soldier whose face was unremarkable.

After a while, he gave a signal to his colleagues and slipped into the tent.

"Chief of Staff, your letter arrived just now."
