Chapter 538 Back To Their Stronghold

Elizabeth looked at Lu Yu with certainty and said, “That’s right. During that time, he had a few potions with him. I don’t know what they were for.”

After this confirmation, Lu Yu was confident that her third brother had joined the Truth Department!

“We can be sure now that he has joined the Truth Department. There’s a high probability that he joined on his own accord.”

Elizabeth quickly shook her head. “Impossible. How could he join that kind of organization?”

“What’s impossible about that? People are attracted by power and usually will lose their minds.”

“In this world, there are too many people who would do anything to gain power. He’s not the only one.”

Elizabeth lowered her head and whispered, “You’re right. I’m sorry…”

“He must have gone down the wrong path. If you can save him, I’ll be very grateful.”

However, Lu Yu let out a long sigh. “I will destroy the Truth Department. In other words, I’ll have to meet your brother sooner or later.”

“It’s just that if I really run into him, whether or not I can give him a way out will depend on him.”

If he had pledged his loyalty to the Truth Department, Lu Yu would have had no choice but to kill him as well.

Elizabeth sighed helplessly, “At the very least, I have to save my second brother. He’s kind and will definitely not join an organization like the Truth Department.

“I’ll try my best.” Lu Yu nodded and added, “Although I don’t have any clues about the Truth Department’s whereabouts for now…”

“Our mining stronghold should be almost ready, ” Xu Yuan reminded Lu Yu. “Why don’t we go back and take a look?”

“Moreover, the members of the Truth Department will check on such an important stronghold regularly. If we guard the stronghold’s surroundings, we will definitely be able to find the core members of the Truth Department!”

Xu Yuan’s reminder made Lu Yu eat the deer meat faster. “Let’s hurry up and settle this, then go back to the stronghold!”

Xu Yuan and the others also started eating faster.

“In the future, when you have time, come and find me, and I will welcome you to a feast,” Elizabeth said with a smile.

Lu Yu nodded. “No problem. We’re all friends now, so we’ll be helping each other out in these ancient ruins anyway.:

Very quickly, Lu Yu and the rest finished all the meat.

Some were still left, so Lu Yu left them for Elizabeth to eat slowly.

Lu Yu took the lead and walked toward the main entrance.

Elizabeth quickly stood up to send them off.

“Have a safe trip back. Come visit us often when you’re free.”

They stood at the entrance, and Elizabeth sent Lu Yu off.

“We’ll be taking our leave.”

Lu Yu walked out, turned around, and waved at Elizabeth before leaving with his team.

As he exited the castle, Lu Yu’s smile gradually disappeared.

“Sigh, this Truth Department is sure annoying. I wonder when we can completely eradicate this organization!” Xu Yuan quipped unhappily.

“We’ll probably have to destroy that empire first, the Ember Empire, if we want to destroy this organization.”

“Does it have anything to do with that empire?” Xu Yuan asked Lu Yu.

“Of course there is. Although it is an ancient empire from thousands of years ago, this empire has been awakening rapidly in the last few decades.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan and the others were worried.

“Is this for real? Is this empire about to awaken?” Xu Yuan asked in disbelief.

Han Xuefei also frowned and asked, “What’s the purpose of their awakening? What are they planning to do?”

Lu Yu let out a long sigh. “From the information I have so far, the Ember Empire’s wish is to take over our world.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan and the others couldn’t help but gasp.

“Huh… isn’t this ridiculous? Are they a bunch of lunatics? They slept for so long just for this?”

“It’s not that I don’t understand. Although they’re a bunch of lunatics, taking over a future world does sound quite tempting.” Han Xuefei commented.

“If I were from the Ember Empire,” she continued, “I might have agreed to this plan. Living in a primitive society would be boring.”

Lu Yu shrugged and replied, “We can’t be sure for now, but we’ve already met two awakeners. This information should be true.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan and the others nodded helplessly as it seemed this was the case…

“I didn’t expect that there were so many relics and treasures in these ancient ruins because of this…”

“I wonder how strong the emperor of the Ember Empire was. A big war will definitely be unavoidable in the future.”

They sighed.

Soon, they arrived at the gates, and the massive iron gates were lifted with a rumble.

Lu Yu took the lead and walked out, entering the dense forest.

Standing under a few big trees, Lu Yu took the lead and took out a teleportation scroll.

“Let’s teleport to the upper house stronghold.”

Lu Yu had specially created a batch of fixed teleportation scrolls that could only teleport from the upper house stronghold to the mine stronghold.

This was to prevent any accidents that might expose the mining stronghold.

For example, if Wang Meng or someone else accidentally dropped a teleportation scroll, anyone who saw the scroll could be directly teleported to the mines.

Or, if one of them was defeated and the scroll was seized, the mines would be exposed.

However, if it were a fixed teleportation scroll that could only teleport from the upper house stronghold to the mines, it would be much safer.

Even if the scroll was picked up, they had to go to the stronghold in the upper house first before they could be teleported to the mines.

Hence, Lu Yu and the rest took out the teleportation scrolls to the upper house stronghold.

With a flash of light, the six of them disappeared.

The next moment, Lu Yu and the rest reappeared in the distant upper house stronghold.

They didn’t appear directly in the stronghold but were randomly teleported into the surrounding forest.

So, they took out the teleportation scroll again and teleported to the mines.

Swoosh!

With a flash of light, Lu Yu and the rest appeared amidst the snowy mountains.

Looking down, he could easily see the large cluster of crystals.

When Lu Yu looked over, he could clearly see that more than a dozen figures were busily working around the mine.

“It seems that the miners have already started mining.”

“There are just a dozen or so people; I doubt that’s enough manpower.”

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly. “It doesn’t matter, as long as someone is working. We only have about a hundred people in total. It’s already quite a lot for a dozen people to work here.”

Lu Yu turned around and looked at the tunnel on the mountainside. “We’ll guard the entrance of the tunnel here, and that will allow us to catch the members from the Truth Department!”

After saying that, Lu Yu took the lead and walked into the tunnel.

Xu Yuan and the others followed him.

Inside the tunnel, energy crystals were illuminating the surroundings, but it was still dark.

Lu Yu walked along the tunnel. Suddenly, he heard footsteps…
