Bizarre!?

"Damn it! Those animals! I'm going to skin them alive!"

Jiang Fei stared at the woman standing atop the Second High School teaching building, his fists clenching in bitter hatred.

The interior of Second High School was deathly silent, the ground shifting slightly. Through the cracked pavement, one could see Blood Veins spreading outward like snakes.

"Brother Fei, is there really no way to destroy this Blood-Sucking Array?" Chen Yun asked, unwilling to accept the reality.

Jiang Fei shook his head. "Unless there is a Seventh Realm martial artist..."

"Or, if we had killed the person setting up the array without regard for the consequences the moment the first eye was activated! But it's too late to talk about that now..."

Jiang Fei's tone was bitter; the enemy's six array eyes had been activated in a staggered manner.

If Qi Da had disregarded everything and killed the enemy the moment the eye at First High School was activated... perhaps only a few thousand people would have died.

It wouldn't have led to such dire consequences as we see now...

But one couldn't blame Qi Da either. Who could have guessed that what they were setting up was actually a Blood Sacrifice Array?

Besides, the enemy was the one causing the destruction. To blame a teammate for being soft-hearted instead of blaming those animals... that would be insane.

What should be blamed, in fact, was the Martial Suppression Bureau!

The enemy had been operating right under their noses for so many years, and there was even a traitor who had climbed to a high position!

How could the Martial Suppression Bureau, which was specifically responsible for internal security, have failed to notice even a hint of this?

This was a massive dereliction of duty!

I fear that even if we survive this, we will be sent to the Outer-Heaven Battlefield to serve as cannon fodder, fighting until we die! Only then could we atone for our sins...

"Why did it suddenly turn out like this..." Chen Yun murmured.

She realized that there was nothing she could do now.

Although she had planted the stele brought from the Bureau on the perimeter of Second High School to block the spread of the Blood Veins... it had only slowed the rate of expansion.

The people in the Bureau had already conducted a detailed analysis.

If there are no surprises, three hours!

Three hours from now, the Blood Veins from the six Blood-Sucking Arrays will be enough to cover the entire city!

And then, in just a few minutes, they will drain the residents of Chenyang City into dried husks...

"Are we just going to watch... watch them..."

"Xiao Yun..." Jiang Fei patted Chen Yun on the shoulder, words failing him.

"If we could have taken over Chu Yuan's case a few days earlier, maybe we could have discovered it in advance..."

The professional capability of the Martial Suppression Bureau was actually quite decent; they had already sensed that something was wrong with Yan Xuan.

It was just that before they could make a move, this incident occurred.

The woman on the roof of the Second High School building was also in their intelligence reports. She had met with Yan Xuan; they were in cahoots from the start...

Chen Yun felt that if the Martial Suppression Bureau had taken over Chu Yuan's case sooner, they might have discovered Yan Xuan a few days earlier.

Jiang Fei shook his head. These people had been hiding in Chenyang City for so many years, with a traitor covering for them... how could they have been discovered so easily?

I suspect they only had the spare energy to cause trouble for Chu Yuan because the array was already finished.

Even if we had discovered them a few days earlier, it might have only caused the array to be activated a few days sooner...

"Wuu wuu~" Chen Yun buried her head in her arms and sobbed softly.

Jiang Fei looked silently at the woman on the roof, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.

"Wuu~"

A series of weeping sounds echoed in his mind, growing louder and louder, making him feel increasingly irritable.

"Xiao Yun, stop crying."

"..."

"Stop crying!" Jiang Fei couldn't help but roar. He didn't realize at that moment that his eyes were already bloodshot.

Chen Yun's heaving shoulders suddenly stopped, and she slowly raised her head to look at Jiang Fei.

Her face was pale, a strange smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, while her pupils had long since been consumed by blackness.

An ethereal and sharp voice emanated from her, seemingly echoing with a double tone: "Brother Fei, I am not crying. The one who is crying... is clearly you!"

Jiang Fei backed away two steps in disbelief, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.

How could this be... there is still a supernatural entity?

"Hee hee~"

A pair of ice-cold hands quietly covered his eyes...

Qi Da certainly did not kowtow to Yan Xuan.

He knew that even if he kowtowed until he left afterimages, Yan Xuan would not spare the teachers and students of First High School.

Otherwise, the people behind him would surely skin him alive.

Outside the school, a figure suddenly flew into the sky.

"Principal Qi!"

"Captain Ma?" Qi Da felt a sense of relief; he recognized the newcomer as Ma Hui of the Chenyang City Martial Suppression Bureau.

The Martial Suppression Bureau was quick to act; although all this seemed complicated, it had actually only been a matter of minutes.

"Quick! Save the people first!"

Ma Hui had no time for pleasantries and struck out with a palm toward the teaching building!

Yan Xuan did not stop him, instead watching quietly with a sneer.

After all, if he were to make a move, Qi Da would immediately intercept him, making it meaningless.

A cold wind blew, and in an instant, the structure of the teaching building was covered in a layer of frost! Immediately after, a cracking sound rang out.

Before everyone's eyes, the massive teaching building collapsed like quicksand the next moment, turning into a sky full of crystal dust that scattered downward!

The trapped teachers and students of First High School lost their footing and fell from mid-air.

However, a net caught them!

A net woven from Blood Veins, crisscrossing... it looked like a fishing net.

This was the true form of the Blood-Sucking Array!

The teaching building was merely the place where the Blood Veins were most dense; in reality, the entire First High School was within the range of the Blood-Sucking Array!

Ma Hui was not surprised; when it came to understanding the Blood-Sucking Array, he was definitely far superior to Qi Da.

He immediately struck out with another palm, tearing a huge gap in the fishing net, and a massive surge of energy swept the people inside out!

"Tsk, struggling on at death's door..." Yan Xuan mocked again.

Ma Hui was the captain of the Chenyang City Martial Suppression Bureau, slightly stronger than Qi Da, but still within the scope of the Fifth Realm.

Relying on him alone, he could not shake the Blood-Sucking Array!

Ma Hui naturally knew this; he had only moved the people from the area with the strongest draining power to a slightly weaker one.

These people already had the mark of the Blood-Sucking Array in their bodies; even if they were moved out of the school now, it would be useless!

But... living a little longer was better than nothing.

Qi Da whispered urgently, "Captain Ma! What do we do now? Give me a plan!"

Ma Hui shook his head, his tone heavy, "Now we can only concentrate our strength to break through and save a batch of seeds..."

"Bullshit! How many people can you take out by breaking through? What about the others?

Your Martial Suppression Bureau has so many experts! And the military has so many experts! Can't you do anything about them?!

Besides, once you've broken out, can't you just ask for reinforcements from above?" Qi Da pointed out a pile of loopholes in Ma Hui's words in an instant.

"Then let me ask you, if it were you, would you only send one person to set up such an important array?"

"...No."

"Then there you have it."

"So, where are the others?"

"Outside Chenyang City... blocking the gates..."

"Blocking the gates!? Then what's the point of breaking through!

If you can't get through on your own, how are you going to get through while dragging a bunch of burdens?"

"Tsk..." Ma Hui said helplessly, "Isn't it too harsh to put it so bluntly? Just pretend it's a breakout..."

Qi Da understood; it was probably just hiding away, and after the Day of Vengeance blood sacrifice finished and they left Chenyang City, they would then conduct a "breakout"...

At this moment, Chu Yuan was staring blankly at the sky.

The other five pillars of light, along with this one at First High School, were all bending toward a center.

It seemed as if they were about to connect, just like five fingers closing to form a fist.

When all this was completed, there was no doubt that something even more terrifying would happen!

What was worse, Chu Yuan discovered that the location of one of the light pillars seemed to be very close to his home...
