Under the watchful gaze of everyone in the hall, the projection screen showed the constables from the Bureau of the Lamp shuttling through the island, gathering Martial Academy students without allowing them to seek refuge in the Central Loft; instead, they were hiding them.

Many officials from the Martial Academy had planned to follow Qiu Zhiman’s advice and take all the students to the Central Loft to wait for the prohibition to be lifted.

Upon hearing the words of the Bureau of the Lamp’s constable, some officials were ready to object immediately.

But before they could speak out, they collided face-to-face with an official who had fled from the Central Loft.

The official was covered in gushing fresh blood, splattered as if it cost nothing.

His face was stricken with horror, his expression panicked!

“Madness, madness!”

“Many officials who stayed in the Central Loft are dead. Black-robed figures emerged from nowhere; they can use Qi! We are no match for them, they can use Qi!!”

The Martial Academy official spoke in terror, but before he could finish his words, he collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

The constables from the Bureau of the Lamp had an unchanging expression, showing no sign of disturbance.

However, the Martial Academy official who had just wanted to question him was dumbfounded. The dead official before him had shared drinks with him the previous night. As someone of Sixth or Seventh Grade status, he was distinguished, yet he had died so abruptly?

Seeing this, the complexions of many Martial Academy officials turned deathly pale instantly.

Many students of the Martial Academy also had grim faces behind them.

The students from Great Wei’s Martial Academy were better off; those from Great Zhou’s Martial Academy rarely experienced a real battlefield, nor had they actually fought and killed anyone.

This bloody scene before them turned their faces as pale as paper.

Some officials glared at the impassive constables from the Bureau of the Lamp and shouted loudly, “Do you know something?”

“Who exactly are those in black robes? Why did the Bureau of the Lamp not detect them beforehand!?”

“Where is your superior? Where is Mr. Qian!?”

The constables from the Bureau of the Lamp, faced with the officials’ shouts and questions, maintained their composure, their voices as cold as ice as they slowly spoke.

“Follow me, we will protect you.”

“I am unaware of Mr. Qian’s whereabouts too.”

With that, the Bureau of the Lamp’s constable said no more and sprinted off into the distance.

Some officials of Great Wei’s Martial Academy were somewhat distrustful of the words spoken by people from the Bureau of the Lamp.

Ignoring the constable’s suggestion, they continued to lead people to the Central Loft.

After all, in their view, even if Qi was restrained, they still had Lin Qingye, a Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse.

Such a person is not easily dealt with by the average person.

Choosing a Ninth Grade powerhouse like Lin Qingye, isn’t that much better than choosing Qian Siyuan?

Without much thought, they led the group toward the Central Loft.

Meanwhile, the officials of Great Zhou’s Martial Academy, with shifting expressions, clenched their teeth and dared not hesitate any longer, immediately leading their students to follow behind the Bureau of the Lamp.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the officials in the hall became quite sullen.

Especially the officials from Great Wei, who felt that if they could enter Crane-Crying Island now, they would desperately wish to slap those Great Wei Martial Academy officials with a good few Da Bi Dous.

The Central Loft was now a pit of fire!

You’re going to get yourself killed; that’s your own business, but you’re taking so many students from Great Wei’s Martial Academy to their deaths too!?

Great Wei was already poor; fostering a talented genius wasn’t easy.

The death of one student would cause Great Wei at least ten times more heartache than Great Zhou.

Just thinking about the consequences if all of Great Wei’s students who participated in the tournament were to die, many Great Wei officials turned pale.

Large beads of sweat involuntarily slid down their faces.

“Damn it, the one who just suggested taking our students to the Central Loft was Jiang Xingyu, right!?”

“Yes, yes, that old bastard!”

“If that old bastard dies, well, good riddance, but if he’s still alive after the prohibition is lifted, I swear I will flay him!!”

Many officials from Great Wei immediately couldn’t hold back their anger, and regardless of whether they were on Great Zhou’s royal court ground or considering their own image, they began cursing openly.

For them, the deaths of those officials inside the Central Loft were of secondary importance.

Mostly civilian officials, they held little martial prowess and were of limited value.

While it’s inappropriate to measure human life in terms of value, to Great Wei, that was indeed the case.

Now, leaving the Central Loft and seeking students outside, those Martial Academy officials and the students in their custody were the true treasures.

They would grieve the loss of even one.

While Great Wei officials were swearing up a storm, officials from Great Zhou said nothing, practicing the proverb “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.”

The Empress of Great Wei, compared to her subordinates below, was much more composed.

Even though her exquisite face still looked young, her violet-black eyes were filled with steadiness and authority.

She glanced over the projection screen and then spoke, “Silence.”

As soon as her words fell, even though the Great Wei officials felt like their back teeth were about to shatter from rage, they fell silent.

They just bottled it up inside.

This showed that Empress Wei’s prestige among these officials was incredibly high.

She had the power to command and enforce silence.

After a brief silence,

someone seemed to realize something and murmured aloud.

“That’s not right, how did the Bureau of the Lamp know what happened at the Central Loft? We didn’t see anyone from the Bureau there just before.”

With this statement, it instantly grabbed the attention of many officials.
