Chapter 2086 - : Gone! (2/2)

“Envoy You left ten days ago with Great Master Liu. He has yet to emerge.” The guard replied.

Those who were with Envoy Zuo guessed, “Envoy Zuo, could it be that Envoy You and Great Master Liu managed to solve the situation here together?”

“It is possible.” Envoy Zuo said, “However, they have not sent back any news yet. We do not know the situation for now.”

“Since the situation here accompanied the chill, now that the chill has dissipated, it proves that the situation has also stabilised.”

“Envoy Zuo, since Envoy Han has said this, why don’t we let Envoy Han go in to check out the situation before continuing?” Someone suggested.

This person, Envoy Han, ordinarily didn’t have much of a relationship with the others. Since someone suggested this, the others agreed successively.

Envoy Zuo naturally knew what they were thinking, but it was not outside of his line of duty, so he was not able to reprimand them for it either.

“Envoy Han, I will have to trouble you to take this one.” He instructed Envoy Han as he ignored the constipated look on his face.

“Envoy Han, Envoy Zuo has already spoken, so you should hurry up. We’ll wait here for you to return.” The one who first suggested this spoke up again.

Envoy Han’s expression was extremely dark, but he dared not disobey Envoy Zuo. He could only toughen his heart and lead his subordinates inside.

He hoped that his earlier guess was right, and that the mountain valley was now safe.

When they saw Envoy Han enter, those on the outside smiled. This guy wasn’t strong, and only knew how to kiss ass all day. This would be a good lesson for him. If he was able to survive, then that would just be his good luck. If he was unable to return, then it would fulfil everyone’s wishes.

Actually, everyone honestly wished that the second outcome would happen.

However, the outcome disappointed everyone greatly. Once two days passed, he came back without any man missing.

“How is the situation inside?” Envoy Zuo asked.

“In response to Envoy Zuo, we walked all the way to the top of the mine, but nothing out of the ordinary occurred.” Envoy Han replied, “I think that the danger inside has already been dealt with.”

“Then, did you meet Envoy You or anyone else?”

“No. There was not a single person inside.”

“That is strange. Could it be that they have already gone inside the mountain?”

“Earlier on, the seeker spirit master guessed that that force was making mischief. If his guess was right, then it is very likely that Great master Liu managed to excavate the area. It also explains why this place is safe now.”

Envoy You felt like his guess was logical, “Since the place is already safe, then send my orders that we will enter the mountain now.”

“Yes, Envoy Zuo!” Everyone there was excited. It was such a huge mine, which meant that there would definitely be many ores. Those of a higher position would definitely receive a share of it. That was why every single person was in a good mood and couldn’t wait to charge into the mine. At the same time, they were imagining just how much treasure they would be able to find.

However, while they were all full of smiles, the moment they saw the empty shell of a mountain, they were crestfallen. Everyone was filled with disbelief. They rubbed their eyes with all their might, but there was absolutely nothing left on the mountain.

“What- what is going on?” Envoy Zuo’s voice trembled, “Why is there nothing in this mountain?”

“Envoy Zuo, it’s not that there’s no mountain, but that the mine in this mountain is empty.” It was unknown whose small voice pointed it out, but the atmosphere at the foot of the mountain immediately intensified.

“Hurry, hurry and report this to Commander!” Envoy Zuo came back to his senses and cried out anxiously.
