844: Chapter 804: Bloodbath at the Mine Site 844: Chapter 804: Bloodbath at the Mine Site The man reporting trembled with panic, having obviously just witnessed a massacre.
He pleaded frantically, “Manor Master, what should we do next?
Should we fight back?
We can’t let them be so arrogant!”
Lu Chuan looked at him and asked in a deep voice, “How many people are in that group?”
“More than ten, less than twenty, but they are all very strong.”
“After they killed, did they just leave?”
“The first ti, we drove them away; the second ti, they killed everyone, and we had no one to replace them!”
Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “This group of ten or twenty people, whose n are they?
Does soone in this city still want to compete with us for the mine?”
“Manor Master, no matter what force did this, we must find a way to solve the problem.
Otherwise, that group will continue their arrogance, and we must stop them!”
Lu Chuan grabbed the servant’s shoulders and lifted him up.
“You lead the way.
I’ll go myself.”
“Yes, Manor Master, I will prepare the horses right now.
We can leave imdiately.
Those people are too arrogant.
We must kill them all; otherwise, our mine is absolutely unworkable.”
Lu Chuan walked out quickly and arrived in the courtyard.
“Go bring the horses to the gate, then wait for .”
The man nodded hastily and then ran towards the stables.
Lu Chuan then walked over to Li Xunying.
“Co, follow out.”
“Big brother, it’s so late.
Is there sothing urgent?”
“Yes, a group attacked our people at the mine, and we temporarily can’t mine.
We need to kill that group!”
“Big brother, who do you think could have done it?”
Lu Chuan shook his head, “I don’t know.
Who else in the city still has the guts to do this?
The City Lord?
He shouldn’t dare.
The Dongfang family also has no need for such an action.”
“It might be other forces outside the city.
Coincidentally, they discovered the mine and ca to compete for it.”
Lu Chuan looked at Li Xunying and said, “This mine is a very important resource.
With the equipnt that can be made from it, we can expand our power.
Many forces would envy soone else’s mine and try to seize it.
Such incidents are hard to avoid.”
“In that case, let’s go over and kill them all.
That would solve the problem.”
“No problem, leave it to .
I will handle it quickly.”
The two talked as they walked, arriving at the gate.
The servant had the horses ready.
The three of them mounted up and set off.
After arriving at the city gate, due to security concerns at night, travel had beco more restricted.
Lu Chuan went through so inspections before leaving Forest City.
Then, they rode northward out of the city.
After riding for almost half an hour outside the city, they finally saw the continuous rolling mountains in the distance.
“Manor Master, we are almost there, just ahead.”
The servant raised a torch high and galloped at the forefront.
Lu Chuan followed closely behind, and the three reached the foot of the mountain, slowly starting to ascend along a dirt road.
Following the dirt road, they soon saw several wooden houses.
There were also torches around the houses to provide lighting.
Lu Chuan dismounted and walked quickly towards the camp.
The camp was built next to the entrance of the mine, consisting of six wooden houses.
Lu Chuan walked briskly over and saw no miners, only bodies on the ground and the air filled with the sll of blood.
Lu Chuan surveyed the surroundings and noticed so traces of a fight, but not many.
This was enough to prove that the disparity in strength between the two sides was great, almost allowing for them to be killed effortlessly.
Seeing this, the servant imdiately knelt on the ground and began to weep bitterly.
“They’re all dead!
All of them are dead!”
Having been at Lu Manor for over a decade, he cared deeply for the people within the manor, and witnessing this group dead made him break down in tears.
“Everyone has left, did we arrive a step too late?”
Lu Chuan paced back and forth in the camp.
Li Xunying followed behind, sighing in frustration, “Big brother, the power disparity was too vast.
If they could have resisted a bit, they might have held on until we arrived.”
“What use is it to say these things now?
It has already happened.
We need to think of a way to figure out what happened here.”
Lu Chuan approached the servant.
Looking at him, he said, “Stop crying, tell , what was the strength of the people guarding this camp?”
The servant stood up, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said, “The strongest was a Peak Martial King Realm expert, and there were about ten others with Martial King Realm abilities, but much weaker.”
“If there were over ten Martial King Realm experts, to crush them like this, it would require Martial Emperor powerful experts to co, and not just one or two, many would be needed.”
“Such a number of Martial Emperor powerful experts appearing at once, this is not sothing mountain bandits or robbers could manage.”
Lu Chuan scratched his head.
Without evidence, he could only look for clues here but glanced around, finding no useful information.
“These people killed and then left, it looks like they didn’t even loot the place, did they?”
Lu Chuan squatted in front of a body, rifled through the pockets, and found the coins had not been stolen.
These people left in a hurry, even neglecting to take the money on the bodies.
The servant next to him walked over, scratching his head in puzzlent, “During the day, our people were attacked and everything was looted.
But now, nothing is taken, did they forget?”
Lu Chuan turned to look at the servant and quickly asked, “What did you say?
They looted the place during the day?
They even emptied people’s pockets entirely?”
“Yes, not a single gold coin was left, all gone!”
Lu Chuan furrowed his brows, slowly realizing sothing was amiss, “That’s wrong, the difference between this attack and the one during the day is that I led people here.”
Could they be saying they knew I was coming here, so they left in a hurry?”
At these words, the servant imdiately turned pale with shock.
“Manor Master, if that’s what you an, doesn’t it imply that there’s a traitor in the manor who leaked our movents?”
Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “It’s still too early to say.”
“But it’s those dozen or so Martial Emperor powerful experts that truly make one suspect.”
“Where could they gather so many people?”
At that mont, a shivering figure slowly erged from a corner.
“Is…
is it the people of Lu Manor that have co?”
The voice of the figure trembled as he spoke.
The servant quickly shouted, “Yes, we are from Lu Manor, co on out, we’re here to rescue people.”
The person hurriedly ca out.
He appeared very young, only in his early twenties, and he shuddered uncontrollably from fright, his complexion deathly pale.
“Did you witness the slaughter just now?”
Lu Chuan asked.
The young man quickly nodded, “Yes, I witnessed the whole process, and I also saw that just before they left, soone suddenly ca to tip them off, which is why they left ahead of ti!”
