Chapter 943 The Missing People
Almost everyone in the Mage Guild was gathered at the meeting room entrance. When they looked into the meeting room, they were surprised to see that there was no one in it.
They were all confused. They had clearly heard the screams, but there wasn’t a single person in the meeting room. Where did the screams come from?
Many people felt that they heard a ghost. Otherwise, there was no other possibility.
If only one or two people heard it, they could comfort themselves that it was just an illusion.
However, since so many people had heard the screams, it meant something must have happened; they just did not know where the screams came from.
Everyone scratched their heads and exchanged curious words before gradually dispersing. After all, they still had their own things to do. Even if they were not busy, it was already late at night, and they should go to bed.
The crowd gradually dispersed. The meeting room stayed the same as if nothing had happened.
Lu Yu had already left the meeting room and the castle.
After the chaos, the Mage Guild fell silent again.
Lu Yu acted quickly. When those people arrived, Lu Yu was already done with what he needed to do.
The Void Piranhas devoured everyone, leaving not even a trace of blood behind.
Those piranhas returned to the void after devouring the people in the meeting room.
The meeting room was left untouched.
If no one saw what had happened, the only explanation was that the higher-ups in the meeting room had disappeared into thin air.
The people who could concoct the Blood Origin Potion were all in that meeting room. Once these people died, their inhumane pharmaceutical process would be delayed.
At the very least, people wouldn’t go missing easily in Night Witch City in the future.
Lu Yu left the castle and walked toward Bernie’s manor.
They could only stay at Bernie’s place for one more night and would have to change places the next day.
With such a huge incident happening, the guild would definitely investigate thoroughly.
They’d eventually find Bernie’s house, so they’d be discovered if Lu Yu and the others stayed there any longer.
After Lu Yu returned to the manor, he found a room to sleep in.
The next morning. Lu Yu woke up very early.
Although he had only slept for a few hours, he was still full of energy.
Lu Yu went outside and sat in the living room.
“How was the situation last night?”
Helen and the other two were already sitting in the living room, eating a simple breakfast.
“Of course, I’ve eliminated the enemies, but not the entire guild. The core members of the guild are all dead. As for the Guild Leader, he’s currently in the Ember Empire’s capital, so I didn’t get to meet him yet.”
“Wow! Did you really wipe them all out by yourself? That’s insane! The people of Night Witch City could live safely for at least a time.” Helen said excitedly.
“This is a big deal. So many people from the Mage Guild have died, and they are all core members. This is someone big that would definitely affect Night Witch City as a whole!” Shirley exclaimed.
“The Wizard Guild in Night Witch City is going to gloat over this. The loss of the Mage Guild is a great advantage to them.”
Shirley took this matter seriously and analyzed what would happen next.
The Empress stood up and went to Lu Yu’s side. “Should we continue to go deeper or what?”
“Yes, we’ll continue forward until we reach the capital.”
The Empress looked at Lu Yu solemnly. “What is our ultimate goal?”
“Didn’t I say it before? If we’re strong enough, we’ll fight them head-on. Otherwise, we’ll obtain information and recuperate to increase our strength!”
Lu Yu clenched his fists. “No matter what, I will not let my efforts go to waste. I must destroy the core of the Empire!”
Shirley and Helen did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Ember Empire, so they didn’t mind these words.
The main reason was that the Empire was too massive!
The various forces were scattered and occupied by different factions. Other than the Ember Empire’s flag, some of the more remote cities had nothing to do with it.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for their citizens to be loyal to the Empire.
The Ember Empire could only occupy such a huge territory because of its extremely powerful armies!
Therefore, they relied on pure strength to maintain the structure of their Empire.
As long as they were the strongest, they were not afraid of some areas splitting off and declaring independence.
“Let’s go. There’s no point in staying here.”
Lu Yu stood up and prepared to leave.
Helen followed closely behind Lu Yu and asked, “When you leave the Ember Empire, can you take me with you? I want to see the world you live in.”
Helen looked at Lu Yu earnestly.
“No problem. I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to adapt to the outside world.”
“It’s okay. I’ll slowly adapt.”
Shirley also looked at Lu Yu and asked tentatively, “Can I go with you too?”
“Of course you can. You can come with us as long as you want to.”
Lu Yu smiled generously and did not mind their requests.
Immediately after, the four of them walked out.
When he arrived outside, he saw a crowd on the street heading in the direction of the Mage Guild.
Everyone’s face was filled with anger as they stomped aggressively.
“Why don’t we join in the fun?”
The Empress suggested.
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “Let’s go over and take a look. We’re not in a hurry anyway.”
“There’s going to be a good show.”
The four of them followed the crowd together.
Soon, they arrived in front of the castle gates of the Mage Guild.
Over a hundred people were gathered here, and it was getting noisy. They were all cursing the people from the Mage Guild while shouting slogans.
At this moment, someone from the Mage Guild stood up and looked at the crowd.
“Everyone, quiet down, quiet down!”
“I know why you are here, and we are very sorry for this. However, I can guarantee that this has nothing to do with the Mage Guild!”
“There are a small number of people in the guild who have learned forbidden techniques and embarked on a demonic path, but this does not represent all of us!”
“Our Mage Guild is doing very well on the whole. Please calm down.”
The audience immediately cursed louder.
“Bastard, my son has been missing for a week! He must have been taken away by you!”
“I want you to pay with your lives!”
“Whoever did this, come out! I want them to pay with their lives!”
The crowd shouted their anger.
However, the person in charge was sweating profusely and didn’t know what to say.
That group of people had all gone missing. Where was he going to find them?
There was no remaining evidence, and he could not even find anyone in charge. He was completely at a loss.
“Everyone, don’t worry. Our President is on his way back. He will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!”
