Wizard Yis's Spiritual Power enveloped the sheet of paper, and he instantly understood all the information on it.

Most of them were Wizard Freshmen who had broken the rules, listed with great clarity, including exactly what they had done wrong.

Without question, everyone on the list deserved to die.

As for the targets outside the list who also deserved death, the three of them had long kept them in mind.

"Gandi, a Rank 2 Wizard Apprentice, joined the Water Marsh School and was suspected of signing a Wizard Contract with the Bailin Family during his freshman days. But none of that is important. What matters is that he broke the rules."

Wizard Yis's gaze was terrifyingly cold. "Whether it is murder, evil deeds, or even blood-sacrificing an entire city to forge a Wizard Artifact, every Wizard has their own ideas. So long as they have the ability to bear the price of violating the rules everyone follows, I look forward to seeing whether he can afford that price."

Wizard Lando shuddered at once. That bastard had actually joined the Water Marsh School, and he had not even known? Damn it! He hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Yis, leave this man to me. I'll clean house myself." Inwardly, he decided that once he returned to The Umbral Expanse, he would definitely have a word with the Chief.

But joining a school was every Wizard's right. As long as one passed the assessment, who knew what sort of background they had behind them? The rules would need to be discussed and amended by those great figures.

Wizard Fengxing said, "Although Wizard Longtu was slain by us, the Three Great Wizard Families are no weak force. The Antun Family, in particular, has already taken root in The Umbral Expanse and produced a Limit Wizard Apprentice. This place is merely one of their branch lines and was not involved in the schemes of the other two families, so it would not be easy to make a move."

Wizard Yis spread open his palm. The cube-like device from the freshman assembly appeared, and amid the crackling spray of tiny currents, it disassembled and transformed. Then, a vast number of images surfaced across it.

They showed the Wizard Array Path and the surrounding areas, including evidence Wizard Yis had observed. Even the conversations between Moxi and Anna, as well as Moxi and Kadi, were all there.

When Ancient Forest Mountain had first been constructed, some Wizards from the White Bone School had taken part in it. Naturally, they would have left behind some follow-up measures.

The Wizard Array Path had far more functions than the ones it displayed.

As for evidence concerning the Wizard Killer, it might truly be impossible to find. But once they caught the source, Wizards had plenty of methods to see the memories within a person's mind.

"Let me deal with the targets on the list first, then head to Ancient Forest Wizard City to join you, Senior Brother Yis," Wizard Fengxing volunteered.

He had already guessed that Wizard Yis would go alone to the Bailin Family and the Purple Gold Flower Family. Given Wizard Yis's temperament, he would likely start fighting the moment he arrived. What worried him was not that Wizard Yis would lose, but that Ancient Forest Wizard City would be beaten out of existence, with Particle Energy radiation turning the surrounding environment into a complete Death Zone.

Some people in The Umbral Expanse were utterly disgusting. If they used that as an excuse to latch onto him, Wizard Yis would probably be unable to hold back and challenge them to the Battle Stage.

"There is no need. I will arrange for the rule-breakers among those Wizard Freshmen." For no reason at all, Wizard Yis thought of that interesting little Wizard.

Judging by strength alone, among the freshmen on Ancient Forest Mountain, not a single one would be his opponent. If he had that little fellow personally carry out the executions of the targets on the list, it would be quite interesting!

He wanted to see whether this interesting little fellow could bring him more surprises—and whether he had the nerve to accept this task.

A smile appeared at the corner of Wizard Yis's lips, leaving Wizard Fengxing and Wizard Lando puzzled. It seemed something had happened that they did not know about.

The Wizard Killer's attack during the first half of the night had left Wang Ya busy in his Personal Laboratory, which had not suffered any Wizardry damage.

The Nurturing Chamber likely could no longer continue nurturing Supernatural Lifeforms. The concentration of Particle Energy radiation was so high that Wang Ya wore a Radiation Isolation Suit every time he entered or left.

The Personal Laboratory at the deepest part of the Nurturing Chamber had the isolation and defense of a Wizard Array, preventing the Energy Radiation from reaching it.

Wang Ya had finally nurtured the bloodline of the Shadow Dark Crow inside the Incubation Chamber. Fortunately, no major issues had appeared. As long as it absorbed Nutrient Solution, the Supernatural Bloodline could remain active. Subsequent nurturing would require Supernatural Materials, and Wang Ya currently had no means of acquiring them.

The Shadow Blade of Assassination could not be repaired either, but its metal activation and Energy Shield-breaking properties were immensely useful in Wang Ya's hands. The first thing he thought of was coating the blade with Green Venom, then having Harak use it for strategic covert attacks.

Wang Ya had remained tense the entire time. Wizard Gandi and the Wizard Killer posed far too great a threat to him. Within these four days, what methods would the person behind the scenes use against him?

Now that he had killed the Wizard Killer and exposed himself, someone stronger would definitely be sent after him.

Four days. He had to hold on for four days! His eyes were filled with resolve. No matter what, he would give it everything he had.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted. The Wizard Array Central Hub had been stirred. Someone was at the entrance to the Mist, seemingly looking for him, and had triggered the information feedback.

Who could it be?

At a time like this... He had only just killed the Wizard Killer, and the traces around his residence had not yet been cleaned up.

Wang Ya's heart sank. Could it be someone sent by the person behind the scenes? No, there was no reason for them to act so quickly, nor would they make such a grand display. He quickly dismissed the thought.

In the end, Wang Ya made his decision and went to take a look. Within the Mist array, he was the controller of the formation; the Mist would not affect him. With the Mist's assistance, if anything was wrong, he could immediately run back.

As he was about to reach the exit, he honestly gripped the Mid-level Wizardry Scroll, 'Darkness Deprivation,' at his sleeve cuff, ready to activate it at any moment.

Yet the gradually clarifying figure left him stunned.

A brown Wizard Robe, unmistakable purple hair, an expressionless and icy face—those indifferent eyes seemed to pierce through the Mist and land upon him.

It was actually Wizard Yis!!

Hadn't he said he would only return after a week?

Wizard Gandi had no reason to lie about such a matter. Had something unexpected happened?

Yet Wang Ya felt an unusual sense of security. Although Wizard Yis looked difficult to provoke, compared with Wizard Gandi's kindly smile—which was in truth a sinister blade hidden behind a smile—he was far better.

"Greetings, esteemed Lord Yis." Wang Ya bowed slightly in courtesy.

A sheet of parchment instantly floated before Wang Ya. Seeing the familiar and unfamiliar names written upon it, Wang Ya's pupils shrank in confusion. Especially when he saw names such as Anna Karina and Lafayette—he had practically hooked everyone from Wizard Tuta's ship.

Wizard Yis said flatly, "If I told you to kill everyone on this list, would you dare?"

Wang Ya: "..."
