"I don't care, just quickly tell the people from the 'Chi You' organization to stop, or we won't cooperate with your Sky Shield Bureau in the future," Li Ruobing urged anxiously.
Wei Gang shook his head, "No, the 'Chi You' organization and us only have a cooperative relationship. They will soon listen to my orders, and once the operation starts, they cut off contact with me. I don't think I can make them stop."
"You really..." Li Ruobing was infuriated by Wei Gang's response. Now she and Qin Yan were both here, and if that excessively powerful Yi Tianchou personally led an attack on the academy, the people in the academy wouldn't be able to resist.
"Forget about it, let's hurry back. There's no time to waste," Qin Yan quickly said. Li Ruobing thought there was no other choice. The two of them swiftly left the conference room, drove back to the Academy of Supernaturals, and arrived at the academy about an hour later. However, to their surprise, the academy was calm and peaceful, showing no signs of being attacked by the 'Chi You' organization.
"What's going on?"
"Weren't the 'Chi You' organization attacking our academy?" Qin Yan and Li Ruobing were stunned. Suddenly, Gao Zhanxiang, Captain Hong, and a large group of people emerged from a hidden spot and surrounded the car. Li Ruobing quickly got out of the car and asked them, "Why are you here? Did the people from the 'Chi You' organization come here?"
Gao Zhanxiang looked slightly panicked as he said, "They came, but they all left."
"They all left? What exactly happened?" Li Ruobing asked.
"It's like this," Captain Hong took over, "About half an hour ago, around seventy to eighty people from the 'Chi You' organization came to our academy. Captain Gao and I received the news and immediately organized our personnel to resist them. Just as we were about to engage, Miss Mengdi and Miss Lin Shiqi, along with 'Di Jiang,' suddenly appeared. They stood on a large rock together and flew away. The 'Chi You' organization members went after them. We intended to follow, but before leaving, Miss Mengdi asked us to wait here for your return, Director Li. So, we stayed here waiting for you."
"Ah, they flew away with 'Di Jiang'?" Li Ruobing was astonished.
"Yes," Gao Zhanxiang said, "They stood on a huge rock that looked like a small island, and they flew away directly above us. They flew very fast, and the people from the 'Chi You' organization couldn't catch up!"
Qin Yan said, "They probably used the powerful magical abilities of 'Di Jiang' to fly away, intending to lead the 'Chi You' organization members away." Qin Yan had witnessed the power of 'Di Jiang before and knew that using its abilities for such a purpose was not difficult.
Li Ruobing nodded, thinking it was indeed a possibility. She then asked Gao Zhanxiang, "Do you know where they went?"
Gao Zhanxiang replied, "I'm not sure. The situation was urgent, and Mengdi didn't have time to say much before leaving. But I remember they flew towards the east."

"The east?" Li Ruobing's mind raced. "Could they have gone to that island?" She glanced at Qin Yan, who shared the same thought. "They might be hiding on that uninhabited island. We need to go there immediately to find them. Yi Tianchou can also fly, and they won't be able to shake him off."
Li Ruobing immediately said, "Alright, Captain Gao, Captain Hong, get ready. We will depart immediately to track them down."
About ten minutes later, Li Ruobing, Qin Yan, Captain Hong, and Gao Zhanxiang from the special task force, along with about sixty to seventy people carrying various weapons, left the academy in several large vans. Half an hour later, they arrived at a large dock by the sea and boarded a ferry heading towards the uninhabited island where Qin Yan used to live. After another hour, the ferry reached the island, and everyone disembarked onto the island. They saw numerous footprints covering the sandy beach of the island, indicating that a large group of people had just recently landed on the island.
"Perhaps the members of the 'Chi You' organization have also arrived here, everyone needs to be careful," Li Ruobing looked at the footprints on the island, her expression serious.
"These footprints are heading towards the forest on the island. Could it be that Shiqi and the others are in the forest?" Gao Zhanxiang analyzed.
"It's very likely. This forest is vast, and if Shiqi and the others are hiding in there, the 'Chi You' organization members will have a hard time finding them for a while," Li Ruobing said.
"We need to hurry. If the 'Chi You' organization members find Shiqi and the others first, it will be bad," Qin Yan added.
Li Ruobing nodded, and everyone hurried towards the forest, entering the expansive woodland together.
"It seems like there's someone!" Not long after entering the forest, a tumult of footsteps was heard up ahead. Shortly after, another large group of people appeared in front of Qin Yan and the others. Once the two groups met, they all stood still, eyeing each other with hostility, gripping their weapons tightly. The air was tense with the smell of gunpowder, and a battle seemed imminent. This new group of people was none other than the members of the 'Chi You' organization who had previously gone to the Academy of Supernaturals.
"Director Li, stand behind me and let me deal with them," Qin Yan held a trident spear, standing at the forefront of the crowd, warily watching the 'Chi You' organization members. These members, like those from the Academy of Supernaturals, held various weapons. Among the three people at the front, Qin Yan recognized Yi Tianchou, Liu Qingyu, and Ji, all of whom were fourth-level or higher supernaturals. Qin Yan realized that the 'Chi You' organization had sent out their strongest fighters, determined not to give up until they achieved their goal.
"So, you've also come. That's perfect," Yi Tianchou fixed his chilling gaze on Qin Yan at the front of the group. "The two women from your academy have hidden the divine beast 'Di Jiang' in this forest. We've searched for a while and couldn't find them. Since you're here now, we'll capture you and force them out." His body slowly floated in the air, ready to launch an attack against Qin Yan and the others.
"Wait!" Li Ruobing, standing behind Qin Yan, suddenly spoke up. "We've already reached an agreement with Director Wei from the Sky Shield Bureau. They are willing to cooperate with our academy. If you continue to confront us, you'll be making enemies with them."
"Oh?" Yi Tianchou was somewhat surprised to hear this from Li Ruobing. He raised an eyebrow, "Impressive that you managed to persuade them. But it doesn't matter. What they do is their business, and it has nothing to do with us. As long as we can take the divine beast 'Di Jiang' from your academy, you'll lose your value to them, and they'll have no choice but to cooperate with our organization."
Li Ruobing trembled and said, "Can't we peacefully coexist? Must we fight to the death?"
Yi Tianchou coldly replied, "This is our way of survival. If you're afraid, just hand over 'Di Jiang.' Otherwise, you won't leave here safely today."
Unable to convince Yi Tianchou, Li Ruobing fell silent. Meanwhile, Qin Yan was preparing to confront Yi Tianchou to the end. He looked at Yi Tianchou with a murderous intent in his eyes and said sternly, "Do you think you're guaranteed to win? If you have the guts, then make your move!"
