Canghai City.

A mixture of blood and tears.

Countless people are fleeing; the entire city has fallen into despair.

The situation was already fraught with Eerie Tide, and it was also caused by Evil Cult.

It's unclear when reinforcements from the inland will arrive, and countless of the guards Sequence User at Canghai Pass have already perished.

The fighting continues, and the massacre continues.

If things continue like this, the pass will likely be breached soon.

With a mocking smile, Ninth Seat looked at the old acquaintance before him and said, "I didn't expect you to still be alive."

Blood Charm removed his hat, revealing an extremely terrifying face. His face was devoid of flesh and blood, consisting only of stark white bones. A ghostly blue flame flickered in his bloodshot eyes, and he opened his mouth, now exposed to the air, and laughed loudly.

"Pfft, haha, how could I dare to die if you're not dead?"

"I gave up so much to kill you."

He used to love elegance, but now he has abandoned it all.

The Ninth Seat exuded a faint gray aura and said, "Oh? Kill me?"

Do you have that ability?

"You're just a rat hiding in the corner. I didn't kill you the first time, and now you're jumping out to get yourself killed."

Blood Charm said no more. In an instant, the red robe on his body fell off, and a set of bone armor appeared on his body.

His hand had transformed into an extremely sharp bone knife, and he slashed towards the Ninth Seats.

The two sides instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

Not far away, the woman from the Sixth Seat stood atop a tree, observing the scene. She murmured, "What's going on? Why are so many hidden figures in Canghai City suddenly appearing today?"

Empty~

A whooshing sound rang out.

A snow-white, gleaming samurai sword, radiating a dazzling light, charged towards the Sixth Seats like a silver dragon.

The extreme sense of danger instilled fear in Sixth Seat's body, and he was about to leave.

Two halos of light enveloped her, and a force immobilized her.

Pfft~

The sound of flesh being torn apart rang out.

Sixth Seat's entire body seemed to shatter, splitting into two halves. Her gaze gradually lost its luster, and her body transformed into one black butterfly after another, flying away.

In a house not far away, two people wearing half-dragon masks were talking to someone through earpieces.

"Captain, Black Butterfly has escaped."

"However, she should be seriously injured by your attack; we can still pursue her."

A sound came from the other end of the headset.

"No need, I already knew this attack would let her escape, after all, we've caught her several times already."

"But where is Xiao Yanzi?"

"Isn't he with you?"

The two men awkwardly scratched their heads and said, "Captain, Yan Li said he was going to rescue someone, but he ran away halfway there."

"Now his headset has also disconnected."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the headset, someone said, "Continue the mission."

"Expel all Evil Cults from Canghai City."

"It's permissible to rescue others first, provided that you yourself are not in any danger."

"Yes, Captain!"

On the other end of the earpiece, a silver-haired man wearing a dragon mask with gold patterns pulled his katana from the ground, looked towards the pass, and muttered...

"The situation is much worse than I imagined."

"Hopefully we can hold on."

In the sky, everyone had already fallen from an altitude of ten thousand meters.

They landed at the Bird's Nest.

That is, the location where the Academy Tournament is held.

Li Chen, holding the inkstone, slowly descended from the sky, his eyes scanning the entire venue.

The battle continues.

Even Evil Cults participated in this celebration; it's safe to assume they were there for their own benefit.

Li Chen turned to look at Su Zhe, who was still in a daze, and said, "Baozi, do your best."

"I'm going to deal with the Evil Cult, with Jianping and Mu Hen."

Su Zhe reached for the hammer and nodded, because he understood that this was no longer the Academy Tournament or any other kind of contest.

It's a battle where you can die.

Chen-ge was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of him during the battle, so he let him stay with the main force, and Su Zhe understood that.

Li Chen's figure slowly approached the ground, looking at the group of Evil Cult.

When you are weak, hiding yourself is the best option.

But now he has the ability to protect himself and is qualified to confront Evil Cults head-on.

At least he had a chance to escape from the face of the Calamity Realm.

Countless jet-black blades of light swirled around him, instantly hurtling towards each of the red-robed figures.

Empty~empty~empty~

The sound of something cutting through the air echoed throughout the entire venue.

The speed of the light blade was like a hurricane.

Many students from other colleges were dumbfounded.

Who made this move?!

Could it be Sequence Master has arrived?

Many of the red-robed members resisted, but the light blades, like the scythe of death, reaped the lives of the Evil Cult members.

Even if it's broken, it will immediately reassemble.

Almost all eyes were on Li Chen, the boy who was manipulating the light blade.

The people on the Bird's Nest slowly descended.

This has attracted considerable attention.

"That's the Imperial Capital Team! How did they get down from the sky?"

"Could it be that they were eliminated early?"

Many people also turned their gaze to the figure that resembled the Grim Reaper, muttering, "This Academy Tournament is full of hidden talents!"

If it weren't for the emergence of Evil Cults, no one would know that there were such powerful members.

After all, Li Chen looks too young.

They couldn't possibly be Sequence Masters, especially since they came from the teams in the Upper Imperial Capital and Canglan; they're clearly trainees.

The Daoist Family Saint Son observed his surroundings. His voice wasn't loud, but almost everyone could hear it.

"Everyone, please don't go out today."

"At least for now, the Bird's Nest is safe. The outside world is surrounded by the Evil Cult. We need to minimize casualties and await rescue."

Many people nodded silently.

Indeed, they are too weak.

But some people's fighting spirit rose, and they prepared to charge out.

It's a rare opportunity; killing Evil Cult isn't illegal, and you can even make money—it's a pleasure for many.

"Huh? There's money to be made?" Mu Hen's eyes widened.

Su Zhe nodded and said, "There's money to be made. Haven't you seen the news? Almost all Evil Cult members are wanted criminals."

"A reward of 10,000 will be given for each one caught."

"This is a temptation for many people, and there are even Sequence User specialize in hunting down Evil Cults."

Mu Hen at the fallen Evil Cult around him, his eyes seemingly filled with the light of gold coins, and whispered, "You should have said so earlier!"

"Get to work, guys!!"

In an instant, several Tomb People the cult were pulled out of the Precept Stele and arrested one by one the fallen Evil Cult.

A clear sense of foolishness emanated from Mu Hen's eyes.

Ji Shao rubbed his forehead, somewhat helpless.

Who are these people?

Su Zhe twitched his lips, wondering if he had talked too much. He should have known better than to tell him.

He wouldn't even glance at ten thousand yuan.

Not far away, Li Chen, holding ink, suddenly soared into the sky, transforming into a black shadow, and swiftly headed towards Canghai Pass.

This is his chance.

He has access to a large amount of Forbidden Substances, and he is not giving up any opportunity to improve himself.

Because he understood that his future path would become increasingly difficult, he needed to quickly master this power.
