"It's a shame Pei Sheng went out as well. If he were here, he could have used his precognitive Magic and we might've gotten some information."
"Enough!"
The elder cut off the discussion, his expression grave as he spoke.
"There's no point in continuing this discussion. Pei Kang, take a few men and investigate. Do your best to find out what happened to Zong Guang and the others. But make your own safety the priority. We can't afford to lose anyone else right now."
"Yes, sir." A Wizard stood up, bowed, and then turned to leave the hall.
The elder looked around at the group and said in a grave voice, "From now on, no one is to go outside without permission, except to purchase supplies and gather materials."
"Our experiments have reached a critical stage. We just need to hold on for a while longer. Once we've completely mastered the power of the unholy creature, we'll have the means to get our revenge on Chenxi City. Until then, I ask for your patience!"
