Chapter 221: Chapter 221: The Sect Master is...

"What could happen to make you so anxious?" Eren removed the curtain, putting on a calm exterior.

He already guessed the answer. Although it took longer than he expected, in the end, they finally found the disappearance of Li Yunfeng.

"The Sect Master... She has gone missing!" The Librarian exclaimed.

"Hmm?" Eren stood up, taken aback. Wasn't she supposed to say that Li Yunfeng had disappeared? How could the sect master go missing?

"Did she go out of the Sect without informing others?" he asked as that was the only thing that made sense. If the Sect Master went missing, it could only mean she had left without telling others.

"There were signs of battle at the Sect Master's Palace. All the guards around the Palace were also found dead today." The Librarian exclaimed, appearing restless.

For a continent, an Overlord's presence was a factor that brought stability. If something happened to Feng Yu, who could stop the other Overlords if they decided to invade?

It wasn't just a matter of one person going missing. It was the pillar of the Eastern Continent that had gone missing. As there were signs of battle, it was clear that she hadn't left for sightseeing.

At this moment, it was clear that someone had managed to breach the Royal Palace, and leave without being detected.

Eren also realized the implications. Just as he had finished dealing with the main character and brought stability in his life in the eastern continent, something like this happened?

Was it just a coincidence that this happened around the same time he killed Li Yunfeng and the main character? Or was something more at play here. He wasn't sure.

"I will go to the core region and check myself." His expressions were quite grim as he left the library in a hurry. Along the way, his mind was filled with many thoughts.

Someone who was able to enter the core region and even hurt or kill an Overlord? It could only be one of the three other Overlords.

"Was it Mist?" he wondered as he stepped out of the library. Only the Southern Overlord hated Feng Yu to that extent.

His eyes narrowed. "Are you trying to-"

"He is with me." Before Eren could complete his sentence, a woman's voice came from behind.

"This voice...?" Eren turned around, noticing a girl who appeared to be very young. However, that was just the exterior as the woman was much older than even Xiu Ying.

She was Great Elder Zia, and Eren's third disciple. In the sect, she was considered the best alchemist.

Most people didn't know that Eren had already surpassed her level in Alchemy, thanks to the award he received by turning her into his disciple.

With a great elder of Zia's stature siding with Eren, the Guards couldn't stop Eren either. If he was accompanying her, they could only step aside.

The path for Eren was cleared and he was allowed to go forth.

"Did you also hear about the Sect Master going missing?" Zia asked.

Usually, she would have asked him to teach Alchemy or questions about the blood of the dragon that she found in his house, but currently her mind was occupied by a more serious matter.

"I still find it hard to believe. I guess I'll see it with my own eyes," Eren answered. "Oh, and one more thing."

Eren brought a pill out of his inventory. He tossed the pill at Zia.

Zia caught the pill, taken aback. This was the pill made from crystalline herb that she traded with Eren before. She still hadn't finished making the pill as she didn't think she was good enough for that yet.

She was waiting for the right time before making one, afraid of failure. This pill was also a necessary component for an Alchemist to raise their rank. All she had to do was consume it.

"Why are you giving this to me? Didn't the trade end with the herb?" she asked in confusion.

"What trade? You are my disciple. Does a master need to trade with his disciple to help them grow?" Eren lazily answered.
