Although the curtains were drawn during the day, the villa was brightly lit and playing music. There were also shadowy figures moving around behind the curtains, making it look exceptionally lively.

At this moment, two drones hummed softly as they flew over the wall of the Guobao Garden villa area and headed deeper into the villa area.

One of them flew over the Daytime Villa, while the other flew over Luo Wanyai's villa.

Unlike the structure of Outer World drones, they use turbine engines, resulting in faster flight speeds and greater load-bearing capacity.

Each of the two drones had a black box attached to its bottom. Once the drones were airborne, they would drop the boxes down.

With two loud booms, both villas burst into flames, the enormous firelight illuminating the sky.

Roof tiles flew off, and windows in the surrounding villas were shattered.

The two drones quickly gained altitude and then flew north under the cover of night, finally landing slowly over Mount Mang.

In the mountains, a young Asian man with a wheatish complexion removed his holographic glasses, opened the metal box beside him, and prepared to put the drone back in.

But just then, Yang Yang descended from the night and said into the Bluetooth headset, "Found him. Should we kill him?"

"Yes, kill him," Qing Chen said.

"Aren't we going to interrogate them and find out who sent them?" Yang Yang curiously.

Qing Chen said, "We don't have time to interrogate him. We're about to travel through time. He might be silenced in the Inner World too. Besides, it's not hard to guess which organizations would target us: the Future Organization in North America, the Huan Yu in China. Whoever is behind this, they're all enemies."

"How do you know someone will definitely attack the Daytime Villa?" Yang Yang asked.

"I don't know, I'm just taking precautions. Those who were once considered infallible in history were simply people who liked to make extra preparations," Qing Chen said, standing calmly on the street outside the National Treasure Villa District, watching the raging fire.

Yang Yang was swept away by the force field and fell rapidly. Before she even reached the ground, the huge force field had already bent the weeds and branches on the ground.

The young people on the ground, who were preparing to retreat, bent over under the weight, as if their spines had been bent by a mountain!

Even the hard soil on the surface collapsed, creating a huge crater.

But at that moment, the young man suddenly looked up and smiled at Yang Yang, then transformed into a ball of fluorescent blue light and disappeared into the night.

As the figure disappeared, a blue pentagram symbol appeared on the ground, surrounded by strange tadpole-like patterns, mysterious and eerie.

"Huh, a trap!" Yang Yang felt something was strange. The box that originally contained the drone fell to the ground, and suddenly there was a huge energy fluctuation inside.

Yang Yang put her hands in front of her and quickly rose back up.

With a deafening roar, the box seemed to contain a sun, bursting forth with tremendous flames!

Pang Pei's scorching heatwave rippled through the midnight air. Luckily, Yang Yang was quick-witted and dodged in time, otherwise she would have died here.

"Qing Chen, which of your enemies will turn into a blue light and disappear? After disappearing, it will leave behind a pentagram symbol," Yang Yang asked curiously in the sky. She took out her phone and took a picture of the blue symbol.

Qing Chen said, "It was exposed in North America that it was Forbidden Item belonging to the boss of the 'Future' organization. It is said that the method of use is to instantly teleport to the eyes of an enemy who harbors murderous intent. Therefore, this boss of the Future Organization is known as the unkillable phoenix."

"The future boss?" Yang Yang asked curiously. "No, what I saw was a young Asian man, like someone from Southeast Asia. Isn't the future boss a white man?"

"That's unclear, but your description of how you disappeared matches the legend," Qing Chen said. "Let's retreat and avoid further complications... By the way, are you coming to meet me?"

"I'm not going," Yang Yang said with a smile. "Anyway, I'll see you after I travel through time."

"See you in a bit," Qing Chen said.

He looked at Luo Wanyai beside him. "Is the insurance I asked you to buy for the house confirmed to be in effect?"

"Yes, it covers structural damage, floods, fires, and accidents," Luo Wanyai nodded, this boss was unwilling to suffer any losses.

Qing Chen said, "Then hurry up and report the incident to the police, and then put out the fire. The insured has an obligation to cooperate with the investigation and to mitigate the losses. After reporting the incident, you should all begin to evacuate separately. I will follow behind you to clear out the pursuers."

"I understand," Luo Wanyai nodded. "I'm just a little reluctant to part with those two villas. It's a real pity. It's so much fun when everyone gets together."

Qing Chen looked at the firelight. "Old Luo, Bai Zhou has to go through all this to step out from behind the scenes. We have to go to school now, so I'll leave things outside of school to you."

"Don't worry, boss."

Just then, in a villa, Zhang Wanfang and Qin Shuli watched in horror as flames shot into the sky.

Qin Shuli picked up his coat and said, "I'll go take a look. That looks like Bai Zhou's villa."

In fact, there are only five villas in the center of the villa area, two of which are open during the day, so even a fool would know that the source of the explosion must be related to the daytime.

Moreover, judging from the force of the explosion, the people inside the villa are unlikely to survive.

Just as Qin Shuli was about to leave, Zhang Wanfang suddenly grabbed him and remained silent.

Qin Shuli was taken aback for a moment. "Now that I'm cultivating too, if Qing Chen gets injured in the villa, I might be able to help."

During his last time travel, Qin Shuli, a member of the Blue Family, also received instruction in the Zhunti Method. Some people even formed a team to help him reach the D-Class initiation. Now, he can be considered a cultivator who has just stepped into the threshold.

However, Zhang Wanfang still held onto him, saying nothing, and even dared not look Qin Shuli in the eye.

Qin Shuli asked doubtfully, "Aren't you worried about Qing Chen?"

Zhang Wanfang suddenly said, "What if there's still danger there, and you get attacked too? What will Haohao and I do? You're all I have left."

Qin Shuli was stunned for a long time before finally sighing, "Wanfang, you're at home taking care of Haohao, I have to go see him. If he really needs help, he is, after all, your son, and he has secretly helped me before."

With that, Qin Shuli went out.

He arrived at the scene of the explosion and asked the firefighters, "Hello, what happened to these two villas? Were there any casualties?"

"There were no injuries, thankfully no one was inside," the firefighter said. "Please move aside and clear the fire lane."

"Alright," Qin Shuli stepped aside, relieved.

With the daylight gone, Qin Shuli knew that the kinship between Zhang Wanfang and Qing Chen had been completely severed.

Countdown 00:30:00.

Liu Dezhu and the others stood at the entrance of Kunlun Bookstore. The small bookstore, which was only a few dozen square meters in size, was empty except for Xiao Ying, who sat listlessly behind the counter, frowning as he looked at the news.

Jiang Xue walked to the counter and knocked. "Hello, I'd like to ask how to get to Kunlun's school?"

Xiao Ying looked up and his eyes lit up. "Oh my, what brings you all here all of a sudden? The villa was attacked just now, and I was worried about you guys."

"An attack?" Jiang Xue asked, puzzled.

"Looks like you don't know yet. Come on, let me get you to school first," Xiao Ying said. "Most of the students have already registered. I'll take you to a good dormitory. We're practically acquaintances now, and I've always wanted to work at Bai Zhou. Leave this to me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Liu Dezhu and the others exchanged bewildered glances. What was this guy rambling on about? Did he imply that he really wanted to join Bai Zhou?

The Xiao Ying led the way to a bookshelf placed against the wall.

He pulled open the bookcase, then took a red stone from his pocket and pressed it against an iron door hidden behind the bookcase.

The red stone seemed to have melted into the iron gate out of thin air, and transparent ripples appeared on the wall.

"This is..." Li Tongyun hesitated before saying, "The Forbidden Item ACE-004, the True Sight Eye?"

"Wow, you have a good eye! Even the Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency only recorded the name of this thing, not its function or appearance. How did you know?" Xiao Ying asked curiously.

"It's recorded in the top-secret files of the Li family archives, but this thing... doesn't seem to belong to the Federation, right? It should have been in the hands of a group of wizards," Li Tongyun asked.

Jiang Xue watched coldly from the side; she now knew that Li Tongyun was part of the Li Corporation.

So she realized that the person who had helped her back then was actually her daughter.

This precocious daughter, taking advantage of Jiang Xue's complete lack of knowledge about her past life, fabricated a story about a "savior," making Jiang Xue believe that she had truly saved some important figure...

Every time she thought about this, she wanted to pin Xiao Tongyun down on her lap and beat her again...

Jingūji Maki somehow sensed that something was wrong, so she immediately hugged Jiang Xue's arm and smiled warmly.

Jiang Xue's mood finally calmed down. Xiao Zhenji is still the better behaved!

At this moment, Xiao Ying said, "What I have in my hand is not actually the real Forbidden Item ACE-004. There is more than one real Forbidden Item ACE-004, which is not a secret in Kunlun, but I can't say more. If you are really curious, you can ask Qing Chen to ask Boss Zheng. He is also a member of Kunlun."

Li Tongyun suddenly said, "You deliberately used True Sight Eye in front of us, just to lure my brother Qing Chen with that thing, right?"

"Hahaha, really?" Xiao Ying awkwardly walked towards the wall.

Ripples spread across the transparent ripples on the wall, and the Xiao Ying's figure vanished into thin air.

Jiang Xue and the others exchanged glances and then stepped forward.

Everyone was stunned. They looked at the vast starry sky above them and listened to the sound of the waves crashing in their ears... They had actually passed through a door in the city and arrived on an island!

The countdown has reached zero.

Time travel.
