In the wilderness outside the city, the most dangerous time is often at night.
The demons at night are more ferocious and aggressive.
Fortunately, the airship routes are fixed and have been cleared.
At most, there are only some low-level demons, and there won’t be any high-level ones.
Generally, high-level demons have their own territorial awareness and, barring any surprises, won’t wander around aimlessly.
All the Academy airships had already left Skyshine City, but at the same time, someone within the city also disappeared shortly after.
In the Liu Family mansion, all the servants searched every corner but couldn’t find Liu Wu, who had been stripped of his title as Young Master.
“What? Still haven’t found him? What are you all good for? Are you just eating for nothing? Huh?!”
The head of the family, Liu Yun, sat in the main seat, frowning and loudly questioning the servants in front of him.
Yes, suddenly, Liu Wu, who had been confined to the house, disappeared without a trace.
No warning, no one noticed.
Although he was very strict with his son, Liu Wu was still his only son.
Therefore, Liu Yun was very concerned about Liu Wu’s safety.
Even though his son was no longer the Young Master, he hadn’t abandoned him.
“Master… Master, we… we…”
Suddenly questioned by the head of the family, the servant hurriedly knelt on the ground, stammering and unable to form a complete sentence.
Now that Liu Wu was no longer the Young Master, he could only be called Young Master at most, but he was still Liu Yun’s son.
Seeing the stammering servant, Liu Yun was furious and coldly reprimanded him.
“Useless bunch! You can’t do anything right! Keep looking! If you can’t find him, you won’t sleep!”
If it weren’t for the fact that he still needed people to help find Liu Wu, he would have already been harsh on the servant.
“Yes… yes!”
Responding quickly, the servant hurriedly got up and left.
Coldly watching the servant’s hurried departure, Liu Yun had nowhere to vent his anger.
“Crash!!”
He violently smashed a cup on the ground, his heart filled with rage.
If it weren’t for the other elders in the family, his son would still be the Young Master.
He wouldn’t have mysteriously disappeared like this.
Thinking of those elders, Liu Yun was both furious and helpless.
Although he was the head of the family, he couldn’t decide everything for the family.
The real decision-makers were the council of elders.
After all, these elders were all shrewd and wouldn’t let Liu Yun rule alone.
If Liu Yun had enough power to rule the family alone, the first targets would be these elders.
Usually, the elders restricted Liu Yun in many ways and had even forced him to strip his son of his title.
All these things indicated that the conflicts within the Liu Family were intensifying.
What used to be covert actions might now come to the forefront.
Despite his anger, Liu Yun was more worried about his son’s safety.
After all, Liu Wu was his only heir, and if anything happened to him, he would have no one left.
This was why Liu Yun was so anxious.
…
At this moment, on a mountain far from the brightly lit Skyshine City.
Liu Wu, wearing a black robe, quietly watched the city.
Unlike before, Liu Wu’s eyes were now filled with coldness, as if he harbored deep hatred for the city.
“Heh~ heh~ heh~ heh~! How about it? Have you seen enough? If so, it’s time to go. We have a long way to go.”
A sinister laugh suddenly sounded behind him.
If it were an ordinary person, they might be startled by the eerie voice, but Liu Wu’s expression didn’t change at all.
A dark shadow appeared behind Liu Wu, with only a pair of eyes visible, making it impossible to tell if it was human or ghost.
“I haven’t seen enough. I want to etch it deeply in my mind. One day, I will return and destroy this place.”
Liu Wu’s eyes were filled with undisguised hatred. He hated this city, his family, and his father.
He also hated one person—Ye Ling.
Thinking of Ye Ling, who ranked first in the assessment, Liu Wu trembled with anger.
“Alright, no need to dwell on it. Just follow me, and you will get everything you want. You will become stronger… and then, you can return for revenge against all those you hate.”
The dark shadow glanced at the hate-filled Liu Wu, its cold voice sounding again.
Hearing this, Liu Wu looked back at the shadow beside him, said nothing, and silently nodded.
Then, the man and the shadow turned and walked to the other side of the mountain.
In the direction away from the Federation, where Liu Wu was headed with the shadow, no one knew, and no one saw.
