In the darkness of night, Shisui, wearing a hood, lurked in the shadows on the rooftop of the building.

Kakugan at the port coast at least ten miles away, his expression calm, quiet, and devoid of any murderous intent.

When the wind blows from above towards Shisui, it can even pass directly through his body located in Alternate Space.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

The wind carried the sound of wheels heavier than those of other carriages, along with the crisp clatter of twelve pairs of horses' hooves.

They've arrived.

Shisui remained motionless, his aura unchanged, only silently thinking to himself.

He locked onto the sounds, listening as they rapidly approached from afar.

After passing the building where he was, they headed further away towards the harbor.

After a while, the carriage stopped some distance from the cruise ship.

It's not the right time yet; Bo Xiqian won't get off here.

Shisui quickly assessed the distance between the carriage and the cruise ship and immediately had his answer.

Sure enough, just as he had expected, the carriage started moving again not long afterward.

This time, the carriage only traveled a short distance before stopping again.

Further ahead, a large number of passengers waiting to board the ship were packed together, crammed together.

The carriage could no longer approach the ship's boarding gate and had to stop.

The moment it stopped for the second time, the Shisui, Kakugan pupils suddenly narrowed, and its attention was focused entirely on the front of the carriage.

Ukaku suddenly appeared, silently pointing towards their prey in the distance under the cover of night.

The next moment, Bo Xiqian's figure was reflected in that blood-red light.

Shisui watched him move quickly through the crowd, and then be stopped at the boarding gate.

The sharp Steel Feathers of the Ukaku cut through the air and pierced through space!

"Puff!"

A faint popping sound echoed from the roof.

The next second, a bright flash suddenly appeared less than a centimeter from the back of Bo Xiqian's head.

"Bang!"

The Steel Feathers pierced the skull and then exploded instantly.

Shisui ignored the ensuing chaos and tore through space to leave as soon as he saw the blood splattering.

At the same time, something flashed across Bo Xiqian's corpse and disappeared just like Shisui.

There were more important things to do that needed to be prepared in advance, and he couldn't afford to waste time.

The Space Wormhole slowly healed, Shisui appeared deep within the Shengtian Library.

That's right, Shisui used was no longer Space Rift that was quite unstable and extremely easy to heal after being forcibly cut open.

With more precise control over Psychic Energy, more stable Space Wormholes were created.

This is why Shisui was able to easily kill an Awakened One and infiltrate the library like this.

Unlike rifts, Space Wormholes do not emit violent spatial fluctuations.

It can be smoothly embedded in the space, as if it had always been there.

Instead of immediately closing the Wormhole, Shisui first removed the few pieces of Radiant Feathers that were still on the bookshelf.

One of the Ukaku here was attached to the hem of Bo Xiqian's clothes.

However, it has now been recycled.

With Shisui of his hand, Zi Sui sent a piece of tempered Radiant Feathers darting out of the Wormhole and obediently landing between his two fingers.

With Radiant Feathers retrieved, there's no need to keep the Space Wormhole open indefinitely.

It was slowly shut down, and at the same time, all the slightest spatial fluctuations were smoothed out by the Shisui beside it.

With that, the assassination was complete. Now, all we had to do was patiently wait for Shengtian Public School to descend into chaos.

The hunter once again disappeared into the darkness.

At this moment, the traitorous members of powerful families who remain at Shengtian Public School, plotting to seize power, are still making preparations.

Under the tacit supervision of the school authorities, they secretly smuggled the weapons they had collected into the campus.

He then sent batches of awakened individuals under his control to sneak in through the side door.

They plan to take control of the other aristocratic scions within the school tomorrow morning, with the support of the Vice Principal.

Therefore, all of their members are now scattered around the various dormitories, waiting for the signal to begin the operation.

"Most of the students within the academy are not from aristocratic families. If we cause unrest, we are likely to be attacked by the ordinary students."

"Madam, is this really going to work?"

In a secluded hideout, a member of the Knowledge-Seeking Society involved in the operation asked a question.

Right in front of him was the library staff member who had processed Shisui's book borrowing procedure that day.

She was one of the plan's originators and, more importantly, the commander of this operation.

The woman's dark brown eyes flashed with impatience in the dim light, but her tone remained as gentle as ever.

"Don't worry, it's precisely because most students come from ordinary families that they won't concern themselves with the internal conflicts of aristocratic families."

Their past as ordinary people instilled in them the deep-seated belief that "one should not easily offend powerful families."

"As long as no one stands out, most people won't want to put themselves in a dangerous situation."

Her speech had a unique rhythm that subtly permeated it, greatly enhancing the credibility of her words.

After listening, the student who had raised the question nodded in agreement and then went back to his work.

The woman scoffed inwardly as she lightly tapped the pearl bracelet on her wrist with her fingers.

A rhythmic "click-clack" sound could be heard faintly, the frequency of the vibrations being slowly absorbed by the pearls of the twin oysters.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.

Meanwhile, the pearl bracelet on Yuanqing's wrist resonated in unison, transmitting this information over.

Yuanqing's expression became visibly excited after the pearl bracelet began to vibrate.

He stood at the entrance of the seaside mansion, some distance from Arakawa Jiushu.

So he stepped out the door, approached Arakawa Jiushu, and gave the order in a low voice.

"White Owl, strike at daybreak."

"Um."

Arakawa Jiushu, too lazy to say anything more, simply disappeared from the spot.

White wings, interspersed with a few pale gray feathers, unfurled in the wind.

He really didn't want to deal with idiots, so he simply rode away on the wind.

His wings are broad and thick, somewhat similar to those of a snowy owl, and he flies silently.

Although there are some minor differences in the details compared to the snowy owl's wings.

However, this also gave him a faster flight speed than the snowy owl.

Despite its striking coloration, this White Owl blends seamlessly into the night, making it difficult to spot.

When he gently landed on the Administration Building not far from the library, it was like a gray-white feather falling.

The feather landed on the towering spire, creating only a faint ripple in the darkness.

The skilled hunter lay in wait, coldly observing the seemingly concealed "troop deployment" below.

Everyone took their positions; night deepened, and the curtain was about to rise.

Ahhh, it's new fan art!! I'm so happy (◍>◡<◍) Everyone go check it out in the book circle ୧•̀ꇴ•૭
