“Skyler, were you looking for a fight?” Seamus ground his teeth angrily. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ve already broken through to Ascension Realm. Compared to me, you’re not even worth a thought!”

Skyler looked him up and down before raising an eyebrow. “You only got that power by stuffing yourself with pills. It’s nothing but a house of cards. You really think I’m scared of you?”

Seeing that the two were about to clash, Glen hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

“Forget it, Skyler. Captain Yount, I got carried away and let my guard down just now. I’m sorry. I’ll start sensing the area right away.”

Seamus clicked his tongue but eventually sat back down.

Seamus took a deep breath and kept reminding himself, Be patient. We’re about to enter the war zone. I’ll have plenty of chances to kill Skyler. There’s no need to rush.

Just then, Glen suddenly stood up and looked out the window.

“What’s wrong?” Skyler immediately became alert and hurried over to him.

Glen pointed ahead and shouted, “Hostiles approaching! A flock of Winged Serpents is flying in, 11 o’clock high!”

Everyone was shocked and immediately looked toward the direction Glen had pointed. Sure enough, countless Winged Serpents were flying toward them at incredible speed, looking like a dark cloud that sent chills down their spines.

“Their target is the bus convoy!” someone in the crowd shouted.

Skyler frowned. Those buses were packed with unarmed civilians. If the Winged Serpents overtook them, the entire convoy would be turned into a slaughterhouse in seconds.

But if they fought them now…

Before Skyler could finish thinking, Seamus suddenly shouted, “Everyone, get into combat position! Gordon, take all the Ascension Realm experts and intercept them immediately. Make sure the Winged Serpents doesn’t get anywhere near the convoy. Quinn, work with Glen and scout the area for any demonic beasts lying in ambush. Spread out the formation and be ready for a surprise attack. Toby, take everyone at the Archmaster Realm and spread them out. Protect every bus! These people are our fellow 1 citizens. We absolutely cannot let the demonic beasts slaughter them!”

Seamus looked commanding and decisive as he issued his orders, and he actually carried himself like a seasoned battlefield general.

For a moment, everyone looked at him differently.

“No wonder he’s a five-star general. He really knows how to command.”

“Everyone, follow Captain Yount’s orders. Move!”

Gordon waved his hand forcefully, and seven or eight Ascension Realm experts immediately got to their

and followed him toward the exit of the military vehicle.

But just as everyone was preparing for battle, Skyler suddenly stepped in front of the military vehicle’s exit and shouted sternly at them.

“Everyone, stay right where you are! Nobody moves!”

At that moment, Skyler’s presence was so imposing and commanding that it felt like a mountain pressing down on them, instinctively making everyone feel intimidated and afraid to disobey him.,

After a long moment, Gordon finally recovered from his shock and anxiously said to Skyler, “Skyler, move! The Winged Serpents are almost here. If we don’t act now, everyone in that bus convoy is going to die!”

The other students also anxiously tried to persuade him. “That’s right. Didn’t we come to Northville to hunt demonic beasts and protect the civilians?”

Seamus pushed through the crowd and quickly walked toward Skyler.

“Skyler, if you’re scared, then get the hell out of the way. Don’t stop us from saving those people!”

Skyler shot him a contemptuous look. “Saving people? Why don’t you take a good look at yourself first? You actually think someone like you can save anyone?”

“What was that supposed to mean?” Seamus gritted his teeth and glared at Skyler.

Skyler couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. He turned coldly to Gordon and said, “If you want to die, then go ahead and do what he says. Otherwise, stay right where you are!”

“Why? Give me a reasonable explanation!” Gordon was practically frantic. He clenched his fists and secretly began gathering his power.

It was obvious that if Skyler couldn’t give him a convincing reason, he was going to force his way past him.

Skyler said nothing. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed toward the Winged Serpents’ defensive line.

At that moment, more than a dozen figures suddenly shot out from the bus convoy and flew straight toward the Winged Serpents in the sky.

They were independent cultivators from the civilian population. Their strength varied, ranging from the Sage Master Realm to the Archmaster Realm.

Fortunately, the Winged Serpents weren’t particularly powerful. They were only first-tier demonic beasts, so as long as these people worked together, they wouldn’t be in much danger.

But just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, countless streaks of blood-red light suddenly shot out from a distant mountaintop.

The beams of red light were like arrows, piercing straight through the bodies of the civilian cultivators and instantly rendering them incapable of fighting,
