A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 961 - 947: Seeking Vengeance

As the portal to the Blessed Land opened, the shadow at the entrance kept writhing, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, like a twisted ball of yarn.

It's not just that this creature has many heads.

Its body is also full of segments, and like its heads, each limb has seven smaller limbs, finally forming a dense mass.

Baiyu's Spirituality did not detect any life at the entrance.

This shadow.

Clearly isn't real life, it doesn't even have any power, just a simple shadow, as for the specific reason for its formation, Baiyu is not clear.

"The Blessed Land opens, and then there's Machima over there, won't Central City be thrown into chaos?"

Baiyu felt a deep sense of crisis.

He had witnessed the scene when the Blessed Land of the Great City was opened.

With the Great City's formidable power, those terrifying strengths of the City Lord's Attendants caused immense upheaval among those anti-social elements lurking in the shadows, and it took a tremendous effort to stabilize the situation.

As for Central City.

If it comes down to sheer strength, it certainly doesn't compare to the Great City. After all, perhaps the combined experts of the entire Free Federation could only match the experts of the Great City.

Now not only has the Blessed Land opened.

Over by Wansheng Prison, there's also a group of people distracting Central City's forces, making the portal of the Blessed Land likely even harder to manage for them.

The current situation.

Is like pouring a bucket of fresh blood into a water full of sharks, the scent of blood will soon attract countless fierce hunters.

Boom.

And right at this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from the direction of Wansheng Prison.

Normally, such a sound indicates that things are developing in an unfavorable direction, and Baiyu could only feel that Central City was currently caught in a precarious storm.

Soon after.

The entire city entered a state of martial law.

The sound of alarms kept blaring in the sky, and those war fortresses hovering in the air began to move in full swing.

One army after another poured towards Wansheng Prison from all directions, while many City Guard Army units entered other streets, maintaining order throughout the city.

At this moment.

In the administrative center of Central City.

Several leaders of prominent families had already gathered together, discussing the current situation.

Of course.

In fact, they were already overwhelmed.

No one could have anticipated that a relic entrance would open above Central City. Generally, such entrances open in hidden locations, mostly appearing in remote mountains and forests.

However.

A suspended entrance, they had never seen before.

"How should we handle this now? We don't have the capability to close this entrance, we can only send people inside. This time the opening of the relic is quite significant, it's likely not simple inside."

A man in a suit spoke in a deep voice.

Just after he finished speaking, another person interjected, "The key issue is, now neither the Changzhi family nor the Lawrence Clan have come forward to take charge, but isn't Central City usually under their management?"

Indeed.

Among the ten great families, the Changzhi family and the Lawrence Clan have the most industries and the greatest influence in Central City.

Now that something has happened, they should be the most anxious, yet it's the remaining families discussing, while those two seem to have vanished from the world.

Although the ten great families don't have clear divisions of power.

But.

In different cities, they possess different strengths. The city where the main family residence is located is their power base.

Just like the Li Family in Storm City.

However, although Storm City is wealthy, its scale is far from matching Central City.

Now the several great families were deliberating here, but the most powerful Changzhi family and Lawrence Clan in the city had yet to be seen.

At this time.

The door of the conference room suddenly swung open, and Job Lawrence strode in decisively, "Who says our family isn't handling things? Most of the family's forces are at Wansheng Prison. After we took over, we've been bolstering our forces there. Otherwise, how could you all be sitting here safely?"

The expressions of the people present changed.

Job Lawrence continued, "Wansheng Prison has already fallen. Machima has been rescued. I've promptly filled the prison's gaps and recaptured the other escaped prisoners. Strengthening the defense around the prison as well."

Upon hearing the news that Machima had escaped.

The leaders of several great families all showed changed expressions.

Although they also knew about the situation at Wansheng Prison, they hadn't expected it to be this severe, most assumed that the explosion signified the problem had already been dealt with.

But now it seems.

Clearly not the case.

"This is now a crisis moment for Central City, let Machima be, she's escaped, but we currently don't have the time to deal with her. The primary focus now should be on addressing the relic issue."

Job Lawrence's face was serious.

The other family members had no objections either.

"So, what do you think we should do now?" someone asked.

Job Lawrence replied in a deep voice, "First of all, send people into the relic. Although it is dangerous, it's also an opportunity you all remember what happened in the Great City not long ago, don't you?

They handled it very promptly.

So no severe consequences arose; instead, the Great City gained a lot of benefits.

If this time, we can manage the relic perfectly, then all participating families will gain benefits, and we might even surpass the other families."

Job Lawrence said coldly.

As soon as everyone heard this, their spirits perked up.

Indeed.

The reason they were eager to come here was also because of the potential profits from the relic.

This is a double-edged sword.

"So, our primary task now is to deal with the relic problem. Also, those rats in the city, whom you usually can't be bothered with, now must be thoroughly cleared.

Otherwise.

There's a great chance they'll interfere with our plans."

Job Lawrence pulled out a planning book from his clothes and began sharing detailed plan arrangements with everyone.

...

Seeing that relic entrance, Baiyu knew it was bound to be dangerous.

He decided the best course of action was to not linger and to leave the area quickly to ensure his safety.

However.

He hadn't gotten far.

When Baiyu felt a vague sense that a Spirituality was locking onto him, along with an extremely strong sense of danger.

Soon, Baiyu saw the main figures.

Mu Shanlan!

Of course, he wasn't the primary concern.

The source of the enormous pressure Baiyu felt were the two strange figures behind Mu Shanlan.

One large, one small.

The two had a significant size difference, but their appearances were somewhat similar.

The massive figure held a person whom Baiyu was somewhat familiar with.

It was the inspector from earlier.

But now, he was on the brink of death, his body severely injured, and his spirit and Spirituality on the verge of collapse, likely beyond rescue.

Seeing the state of the inspector, Baiyu squinted his eyes, and a surge of anger rose within him.
