The individual rockets, trailing plumes of flame, exploded one by one against the energy shield, casting bright ripples across its surface.

A veteran soldier scoffed, having recognized them, "Humph, those are Star State's army standard-issue 'Mayflower' split-energy missiles!"

These were the most powerful missiles in Star State's arsenal of personal equipment. The fact that True Knowledge Sin possessed such gear was self-explanatory. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The warriors quickly exited the vehicles, using them to establish a defensive perimeter. Some then approached Bai Yunpeng like ordinary bodyguards, seemingly intending to escort him away first.

In the darkness, another seven or eight missiles flew in, causing severe blasts and tremors, yet they were still unable to destroy the energy shield.

As the second wave of missiles launched, figures emerged from the darkness like specters. Unlike the orderly ranks of regular armies, their heights, builds, and even the speeds at which they moved varied greatly.

One particularly noticeable figure was a mobile mountain of flesh, standing five meters tall. Each of its steps made the ground tremble as if from heavy machinery.

However, the first to reach the energy shield were three ghost-like figures. The energy shield, capable of blocking split-energy missiles, merely flickered as they approached, and they passed right through it.

Upon contact, several seasoned veterans screamed as they were violently flung away.

Assailants surged in from all directions. However, aside from those three, the rest evidently lacked the means to penetrate the energy shield. This continued until the towering mountain of flesh arrived. He lifted his warhammer high, immense energy arcs crackling along its surface. Then, with a thunderous blow, he struck. The resulting BOOM caused the ordinary soldiers beneath the shield to bleed from their ears, their heads buzzing. They were disoriented and temporarily robbed of their combat abilities.

The energy shield flickered then extinguished. A majority of the "Swarm of Drones" energy generators belched black smoke.

Bai Yunpeng looked around at the assembly of fiends with a chuckle. "True Knowledge Sin really holds me in high regard. Twenty-three high-level Angel Envoys—this must be all the forces they can mobilize for now, right?"

Chen Gu stood by his side, calmly observing the entire scene. These Angel Envoys were all professionals with various physical enhancements. The strongest were at the Sixth Energy Level, and the weakest at the Fourth Energy Level. It was indeed surprising that True Knowledge Sin possessed such resources. However, for them to think of using such forces to assassinate a Marshal... Chen Gu could only deem it wishful thinking.

Four people stood beside Bai Yunpeng. As over twenty Angel Envoys charged in, one of them smiled at Chen Gu and said, "I hear you're also a Quantum Wizard. Watch closely; you might gain some insights."

He took a step forward, arms spread, and floated up, defying the laws of gravity.

His eyes were shrouded in a pale blue energy glow, as if he could see through mysterious connections hidden beneath the veil of normal perception.

Thin, pale blue arcs of energy emerged around his body, continuously extending outward, quickly forming a "connection" with every object in the world.

Even Chen Gu, a Quantum Wizard himself, felt an inescapable sense of confusion when faced with these "connections."

The Angel Envoys rushing in were suddenly caught by these connections and instantly captured by Entanglement Control, left hanging in mid-air!

Including the mountain of flesh – the Sixth Energy Level Hell Titan – they all struggled fiercely. But the "connections" not only failed to loosen but tightened even more as they thrashed.

Entanglement Control only made it even more impossible for them to break free.

Chen Gu's eyes showed admiration as he sincerely exclaimed, "An Eighth Energy Level Quantum Wizard... at that level, the whole world becomes his web. Every existence within it is nothing more than a small insect caught on its strands."

"With just this much strength, True Knowledge Sin thought they could assassinate a Marshal? This is the Capital Star, not Wuzhaoyin City."

If such a group of Angel Envoys were let loose in Wuzhaoyin City, Chen Gu mused, even if Chen Jixian himself intervened, he would likely only be able to hold his ground initially before frantically calling headquarters for backup. A single misstep could truly cause a catastrophe in Wuzhaoyin City, or even on the entire Empire River Star. But on the Capital Star... experts are everywhere. Someone at the Sixth Energy Level might be a notable figure, but they can't just sweep through unchecked.

Bai Yunpeng smiled slightly. "Eighth Brother is one of our Bai family's men, mainly tasked with protecting the old man. I specifically borrowed him for this occasion."

"The old man is very dissatisfied. People fear death more as they get older, so tonight he can only hide at home and not go anywhere. Although we were victorious this time, he'll definitely give me an earful when I get back."

Bai Yunpeng felt helpless. "Actually, he has plenty of experts around him. Missing one Eighth Brother is neither here nor there... SIGH..."

Chen Gu chuckled inwardly. The old man is indeed an interesting character.

Eighth Brother clenched his fist. All the attackers fell, wrapped in dense, silk-like threads of pale blue energy.

The warriors quickly moved forward, took out the highest-level security fetters they had prepared, and CLACK-CLACK-CLACK, locked them all up.

Bai Yunpeng was in high spirits. "This time, True Knowledge Sin has truly taken a significant hit! These rats love hiding in the sewers. We couldn't find them before, and they've roamed free outside the law for many years. We've finally drawn them out!"

"HAHAHA!" He laughed heartily, patting Chen Gu and Eighth Brother on their shoulders. "Come on, let's find a place to drink and celebrate!"

Chen Gu shook his head vigorously in fright. I vividly remember the consequences of the last excessive celebration with Marshal Bai—four grown men sleeping together in one room! Fortunately, I, Great Actor Chen, am a clever fellow. I managed to escape and even got some dirt on those three idiots. Otherwise, my lifelong reputation would have been ruined!

Eighth Brother also smiled bitterly. "Before I came, the old man specifically instructed me to return immediately after finishing the job and not to fool around with you."

Bai Yunpeng grumbled, "Why call it fooling around? This is called balancing work with leisure..."

Eighth Brother said with some difficulty, "You know how the old man is. Lately, he goes to 'Phantom Island' to listen to music every night."

Bai Yunpeng curled his lip. "Listen to music? He's just going to see that 'Crane Songstress.' At his age, he's still so restless."

Eighth Brother gave an embarrassed smile, not knowing what to say. Bai Yunpeng waved his hand impatiently. "You come with us to escort these people back. It'll prevent True Knowledge Sin from launching a surprise counterattack to rescue them. After that, you can leave."

Eighth Brother nodded. "Alright."
