The Shapeshifter posing as the leader, Lei Yuan, is sufficient; there's no need to waste further resources disguising other guards on the spaceship.
However, Saerjia simply stood there, his eyes flashing, but he did not move.
The Shapeshifter who was impersonating Lei Yuan clearly only intended to maintain the disguise for a short period, knowing that he would inevitably be exposed.
Given this premise, the other party's choice to appear at this particular time can only have one purpose...
Assassinate Wen Jing!
The Empire has a long tradition of assassinating Federation geniuses, not to mention that Wen Jing's teacher is Bai Xiao. Not to mention the Empire, there are quite a few people within the Federation who want her to disappear.
Even if assassination is not the ultimate goal, the Empire's 'cherishing talent' is by no means a good thing for the Federation's Awakened.
Aside from newly awakened Awakened who haven't yet entered the Ancient Wilderness, who have a chance of being absorbed, only other awakened Awakened with special abilities will be imprisoned as ability blood packs.
Therefore, considering the cost of control, if absolute control cannot be guaranteed in the event of an Imperial spy operation, the preferred option is to kill directly.
Realizing this, Saerjia understood that it was too late to ask Lei Yuan to postpone the report.
Then, with a sudden burst of energy, he turned around and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the office.
"Drop--!"
Saerjia's rampage immediately triggered the academy's alarm.
The commotion abruptly interrupted Dean Fu, who was lost in thought.
His figure flashed several times, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the office building area.
Then, with a swift movement of his hands, Saerjia's frenzied attacks were halted and contained within a small area, as if a pause button had been pressed.
"What you do?"
I initially thought something terrible had happened, but when I arrived, I found that Saerjia was just going crazy.
" Saerjia? What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, the other leaders of Azure Jade School also rushed over in a panic. When they saw this scene, they all showed surprised expressions.
"I'm in a bad mood, can't I even vent?"
Saerjia didn't continue the confrontation. He quickly stopped, spread his hands, and looked like a rogue. "I can pay you money, or you can make me spend a few days in the Arbitration Bureau."
Although this explanation seems to fit his personality, it still feels a bit inexplicable.
The next moment, Dean Fu's expression changed drastically.
He glanced up at the spaceship that had almost disappeared into the sky, ignored everyone, and vanished from the material universe in an instant.
"Dean, what's wrong...?"
The others, belatedly realizing what was happening, also opened their smart devices and saw the messages inside.
"This Lei Yuan is fake, he's an Empire Shapeshifter?!"
The dean of academic affairs glared at Saerjia: "You... did this on purpose!"
Saerjia his inner joy and put on an innocent expression. "What are you talking about? What happened?"
He did it on purpose, of course.
The fake Lei Yuan has been exposed, and the news will soon reach the Azure Jade Academy.
Saerjia's disturbance at the scene would naturally prompt Dean Fu to come and suppress the disturbance, delaying his access to information about the assassination attempt.
Even though it only took the other party a minute to arrive and suppress him.
But even that one minute was enough for the spaceship to fly a great distance and escape the gravitational net set up by the Azure Jade Academy in the atmosphere.
The only way to intercept a spaceship using a planet's defense system is to use space-based weapons.
However, that would require startup time and be an indiscriminate attack, essentially abandoning everyone on the spaceship, so it was naturally unusable.
Therefore, the only way to stop the spaceship in the short term is for the Awakened travel through the Ancient Wilderness Traversal.
Even if Awakened can fly, and even if they possess various short-range burst speed combat techniques, it's impossible for them to catch up with a spaceship using only their physical speed.
After all, the spaceship was already quite far from the land, and the spaceship itself was still moving forward at high speed during the chase.
"Walk."
The dean of academic affairs no longer concealed his disgust and turned to leave.
The other Azure Jade leaders also realized what was happening and followed her to activate the emergency measures.
Even if everyone could see through Saerjia's intentions, he insisted on playing dumb, and there was nothing they could do about it for the time being. Moreover, the more important thing now was to intercept the spaceship and rescue the people.

"Beep, beep, beep!"
Suddenly, the spaceship jolted, flashed red light, and sounded an urgent alarm.
"Attention all personnel, Imperial spies have infiltrated!"
The announcement, delivered intermittently as if due to poor signal, stated. "The spacecraft's return procedure has been initiated. Everyone proceed to the center module 5. Be careful..."
The exchange students from Ocher Soil, who had been engaged in various activities on the spaceship, were all in an uproar and immediately tensed up.
Regardless of location or activity, everyone subconsciously followed the broadcast instructions and headed towards the fifth central cabin.
Wen Jing, who was resting with his eyes closed in his cabin, opened his eyes, sprang up from the bed, and rushed to the door.
However, the moment she pulled the Door Handle, the hairs on the back of her head suddenly stood on end; her sense of gravity detected a change in spacetime.
"Not good--"
By the time Wen Jing realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Upon receiving such serious news of an imperial spy infiltration, although she was vigilant, she didn't think it through enough, and her subconscious reaction was to go out and meet up with her classmates.
Little did they expect that the trap would be set by the simple act of opening a door.
That's right, the problem isn't with the facade in front of her, but with the Door Handle.
The act of pulling the handle to open a door is like a switch, connecting changes in time and space.
"Is this Wilderness Weapon or a supernatural ability?"
With this thought, Wen Jing's hand suddenly went empty, and he had fallen into another dimension.
In the red-glowing corridor of the spaceship, Dean Fu's figure suddenly appeared.
His body even still bore traces of the purple blood of some unknown creature, which he had picked up when he killed his opponent, and it was the Ancient Wilderness Night.
He glanced at the spaceship's movements and knew there were Shapeshifter. The Federation wouldn't send messages to the spaceship like that; instead, they would immediately initiate emergency return procedures.
The announcement before us was a false message released by the Shapeshifter in the guise of a commander.
Dean Fu frowned deeply, and his terrifying mental power swept out, directly scanning the entire spaceship.
The next moment, everyone on the spaceship, no matter what they were doing, felt as if their skulls had been ripped open, their fragile spiritual bodies exposed to the gaze of some powerful being.
"As expected of someone ranked in the top ten of the Federation Wanted List, they arrived so quickly..."
The moment ' Lei Yuan ' was detected by the mental scan, its movements were briefly halted.
He himself also possessed secret techniques of mental power, so he was able to feel the terror of Fu Yuan more deeply than the other people on the airship who were caught off guard by the attack.
When he was impersonating Lei Yuan for the evaluation, he hesitated about whether to make the act real and attack Wen Jing directly with the ninth Crescent Slash.
Now he couldn't help but feel glad that he had chosen to give up at the last minute.
Otherwise, even if Wen Jing's shield hadn't blocked the attack, and even if he had managed to kill Wen Jing, he would definitely have been killed on the spot by Dean Fu.
"Boom!"
The next second, the sound of metal being pierced was heard, and Dean Fu broke through the hard hull of the spaceship and rushed straight over.
But at that moment, Lei Yuan's hand had already touched the Door Handle.
He was standing right at the doorway of Wen Jing's cabin.
From the moment he boarded the ship, he made all the preparations. He disguised himself until the spaceship escaped Azure Jade's gravitational net, then immediately activated the pre-designed 'spy alarm', triggering the trap specifically designed for Wen Jing.
The whole process was straightforward and efficient. Even though there were still many Federation students on the spaceship, ' Lei Yuan ' did not cause any unnecessary complications or do anything extra.
The goal this time is to Wen Jing.
All actions are aimed at ensuring this goal is achieved.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, ninety meters...
The moment ' Lei Yuan ' pressed the handle, he felt a terrifying mental attack coming at him.
"Well..."
The mask belonging to Lei Yuan Disintegration, the Shapeshifter bled from all seven orifices, and the facial skin and bones peeled off like wax.
If it weren't for the mental energy techniques he possessed that provided a defensive effect, someone who didn't know such techniques would have been dead already.
"Boom!"
Immediately following, the domain energy field descended, as if this space-time was bound by invisible shackles.
However, the spatial and temporal changes of Door Handle are ultimately one step ahead.
The Shapeshifter, with its horribly disfigured face, grinned mockingly at Dean Fu, who was pursuing it in a fit of rage.
"This is the Empire's return gift to Bai Xiao."
His voice still echoed in the space, but he and the Door Handle had vanished, leaving only the ordinary hatch that had lost all its supernatural power.
"Click click click..."
The door Disintegration under Dean Fu's gaze, revealing the normal cabin behind it.
He exhaled, Calmness down, and walked towards the spaceship control room, intending to settle the other students first.
He had actually recorded the spatial coordinates of the other party's journey.
The problem now is that there are time intervals between time Ancient Wilderness Traversal.
After one use, there will be a certain amount of time before you can travel again.
This time interval decreases as the compatibility increases. Wen Jing interval has gradually decreased from a full three days to the current four hours, while for a veteran fully Awakened like Dean Fu, it still takes ten minutes.
If he had discovered it earlier, intercepted the spaceship using the planet's gravitational pull, and chased after it with his physical body, he could have directly traveled through time to track it down.
This is the purpose behind Saerjia's commotion.
In other words, Wen Jing now needs to survive ten minutes of assassination attempts by the Empire.
As Dean Fu took over the spaceship control room, he silently calculated the time in his mind.
