Jiang Shi was stabbed through the chest by Lan Guoguo's dagger. He thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to wake up again.
"You're awake." Qin Huai, with his back to Jiang Shi, observed the medical data and replied, "You're lucky. Lan Guoguo's dagger didn't pierce your heart. Otherwise, even a god couldn't save you."
Jiang Shi stared blankly at the ceiling and suddenly asked, "How long have I slept?"
Qin Huai looked down at the time. "Not long, only half an hour."
Qin Huai briefly explained the situation.
The battle between Lophis and Romi intensified, and most of the surrounding city buildings were destroyed. Fortunately, the troops had already organized the evacuation of ordinary people before the two began their fight.
Lophis narrowly defeated Miluo and was seriously injured, needing at least half a month to recover.
As for why Jiang Shi was here, Qin Huai had received an anonymous call. "Your reaction tells me that the anonymous call is closely related to the person who injured you."
Qin Huai pointed to his wound. "The dagger was inserted into your chest in a very precise location. It seemed to pierce the heart, but it actually avoided all vital points. For an ability user, it's nothing serious."
Jiang Shi frowned. "You know Lan Guoguo, right?"
Qin Huai nodded. "A core member of the Wild Guild, also considered one of Lu Chengxuan's adopted children. It's just unclear why he became an apostle of a foreign land."
"His goal is to find my sister." Jiang Shi's eyes darkened. He recalled what the God of Prophecy and Lan Guoguo had said, and asked, "If Lophis has been monitoring your every move, what could be the reason?"
Qin Huai raised an eyebrow. "A pervert, maybe?"
Jiang Shi: ...
Qin Huai suddenly realized. "You mean Lan Guoguo has been under surveillance? In that case, it's about mistrust."
The intelligent Qin Huai immediately grasped the core of the problem. "Lan Guoguo is being monitored? That's rather interesting."
Immediately, Qin Huai called Yan Shao. "Is Jiang Nuannuan still in the academy?" The next second, Qin Huai's expression turned serious. "You're saying a large number of foreign apostles have infiltrated the academy?"
Jiang Shi abruptly sat up from the bed, and before Qin Huai could react, he rushed out of the ward. Qin Huai responded while hastily hanging up the phone and chasing after him.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhi suddenly roared, "Shao Xinran, how dare you!"
Purple lightning crackled, and the falling thunderous energy swept across half the sky. It was Lu Chengxuan's most powerful attack.
However, it fell upon Shao Xinran like a stone dropped into the sea, creating only a small ripple and causing no damage to the opponent.
Conversely, when Shao Xinran was about to speak to Lu Chengxuan, Lu Zhi felt a surge of unease and roared.
Shao Xinran merely waved his hand at Lu Chengxuan as if swatting a fly, and Lu Chengxuan was struck by an immense force, flying away like a cannonball. He crashed into a protruding rock in the distance before stopping.
"Brother—" Lu Zhi could no longer bear to watch his relative being harmed. Manluo suddenly transformed into a long sword and fiercely slashed at the barrier.
Even at this point, Lu Zhi still dared not use Shen Qi's power and could only rely on his own abilities to try and break through the barrier.
But it was futile. Lu Zhi and Shen Qi were worlds apart.
"As always, tightly guarded." Shao Xinran's figure flickered, and he abruptly appeared beside Lu Zhi's barrier. As soon as he reached out to touch it, he was repelled.
Shao Xinran's eyes turned even more terrifying. "As always, you make me disgusted."
With that, layers of golden light appeared in Shao Xinran's eyes, and a dark purple halo condensed in his palm. The barrier protecting Lu Zhi could not withstand the terrifying power, emitting a creaking sound of compression. The next moment, with a clang, it shattered like glass into golden dust.
Lu Zhi's pupils suddenly contracted.
Too strong.
Shao Xinran broke the barrier but did not make any further moves against Lu Zhi. Instead, he elegantly extended his hand in invitation. "My lord, I have waited for you for a long time."

In the异空间 (otherworldly space).
Shen Qi's long sword pierced through the heart of Lilith, the God of Prophecy, without mercy. Lilith's face turned pale, and a liquid, black with a hint of gold, flowed from her chest.
Shen Qi's expression was icy. In the depths of his crimson silver-ringed pupils, there was only endless killing intent and ferocity.
Manzhushahua transformed into fine threads and entered Lilith's forehead.
The body of a god was merely a tool for traversing the mortal realm. Only when the divine spark was destroyed could the act of god-slaying be truly completed.
"You cannot kill me." Lilith's blue eyes showed no fear, and a smile still lingered on her lips. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Shen Qi's expression suddenly changed. He sensed that the barrier protecting Lu Zhi had been broken, and his aura became abnormally terrifying. Just as he was about to teleport to Lu Zhi's side, Lilith used her staff to self-destruct her physical body, sealing the 异空间 (otherworldly space), and slowly closed her eyes. "Divine official, I have fulfilled my mission."
