Chapter 944 Ancient Jungle Castle

After hearing the news that the Mage Guild's President was rushing over, everyone fell silent for a moment, but they could not suppress the anger in their hearts.

"No, you have to give an explanation today!"

"Hand over the murderer! Otherwise, we won't leave!"

"Do you not treat us as humans? Hand over the murderer! Otherwise, we won't leave this place!"

"What a bunch of demons! You should go to hell!"

In the crowd, everyone was shouting angrily, demanding an explanation.

Even though the guild before them was much stronger than them, they still stood there and roared fearlessly.

The reason was simple. What they had done was pure evil! It had completely broken through the bottom line of what humans could endure, so the citizens could never tolerate such a thing!

These mages did not take their lives into consideration. In fact, they did not even treat them as humans but instead as medicinal herbs.

The mage at the entrance quickly explained, "It's not that we don't want to hand them over, but most of them have disappeared. We don't even know where they went!"

"Bullshit, they must have escaped! They know they messed up, so they'll hide for now! No, you have to hand over all of them! Otherwise, we won't go!"

The man continued, "Everyone, please calm down. Our President is on his way here. He will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. I hope everyone can calm down."

"Once the President returns, he will give everyone an explanation no matter what. Even if those people escape, the President has the ability to capture them all!"

He put his hands together and waved them forward a few times. He said in a low voice, "Everyone, please calm down. We all attach great importance to this matter and will definitely not ignore it."

He wiped the sweat off his forehead as his nervousness made his entire body tense up. He couldn't afford a moment of carelessness.

Although they were part of the city's ruling class, they would not confront the people's anger head-on; doing so would only harm them further.

On the contrary, delaying was the best choice. After all, these weak commoners could not overthrow them.

At this moment, someone in the crowd asked angrily, "When will your President arrive? When he arrives, he must give us an answer as soon as possible! No matter what, we must capture those bastards!"

"We will make them pay with blood!"

The crowd roared. Some people's faces went red with anger; spit and arms were flailing everywhere.

Lu Yu did not pay much attention to the heated argument between the two parties. However, the mage's words caught Lu Yu's attention.

"The President has already arrived at the Ancient Jungle Castle in the north. He's reorganizing there and will be back soon."

Lu Yu turned around and opened the map when he heard that.

Soon, he locked onto a castle marked in a dense forest on the map.

The Ancient Jungle Castle was not a city but a simple landmark building.

It was singled out in a dense jungle. Clearly, this place was special.

"This place must be important. We should head over and take a look."

Shirley was worried after hearing Lu Yu's suggestion. Standing beside Lu Yu, she asked carefully, "Where are we going? I heard that the President of the Mage Guild is very powerful!"

"That person is also extremely cruel. I'm sure he tortures any enemy he encounters to death."

She added worriedly.

Once they were no match for him and fell into his hands, their outcome would be more miserable than death!

Lu Yu looked at her and smiled. "You're overthinking this. Don't worry; he's definitely not my match. As long as you follow me, there will be no problem."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Shirley heaved a sigh of relief and calmed herself down.

"I believe you, since you've said so. He's someone terribly evil. Otherwise, the Mage Guild wouldn't have produced such a potion en masse."

"So, are we leaving now?" Shirley asked.

"Yeah, let's go. There's no need to stay here any longer."

Lu Yu turned around and looked at the crowd. "I'm afraid these people won't be able to welcome the President's return."

With that, the four of them walked out of the city.

The streets were particularly deserted today.

Ever since the news of that big incident spread, everyone in the city feared the outside. Many people had even chosen to self-isolate and refused to step out of their homes.

Some even locked their children in their houses, afraid they would encounter any danger if a peep of them got out.

The entire city came to a standstill.

This was definitely something that the Mage Guild did not want to see. In their eyes, these civilians were nothing, but they were necessary tools to maintain the operation of the city.

If everyone stayed home, food would be an issue sooner or later.

Lu Yu and his party had arrived at the city gates. He passed through them and left Night Witch City.

"In just one night, this city has undergone such a huge change. This must have a huge impact on them."

Helen sighed and took out a notebook. She picked up a pencil and began to record something in the notebook.

"What are you writing?"

"It wasn't easy for me to go on a long journey. So, I have to record everything I experience."

After she finished recording, she put away the notebook and placed it in her backpack.

"How much have you recorded?" Shirley asked.

"It's just the beginning."

"That's great. After you're done recording the whole journey, can you let me read it?"

Helen looked at her speechlessly. "Can't you record it yourself?"

"It's too troublesome. Besides, having you record it is enough."

"Fine, I'll show you after we finish our journey."

The four continued walking forward. Soon, they were deep into the forest ahead.

After entering the dense forest, Lu Yu released the Water Spirit Dragon.

The Water Spirit Dragon manifested, and Shirley no longer feared it. She even had the urge to ride on the back of the Water Spirit Dragon and roam the sea of clouds.

They quickly climbed onto the back of the Water Spirit Dragon. The dragon flapped its wings and brought them into the sky, rushing into the clouds.

They soon broke through the clouds and soared in the clear sky.

In mid-air, they could see the blazing sun above them. The bright light made the surrounding clouds appear pure white.

Looking at the white clouds, Shirley and Helen both smiled. They were both enjoying the stunning scenery.
