At the instant the 1.5 version's server maintenance update arrived, all the players in the sea of stars vanished like ghosts.
The bizarre scene completely stunned the NPCs seeing it for the first time.
They had actually been around the players for quite some time. Before the maintenance update, they had often seen players suddenly disappear because they logged off or went to run dungeons and arenas.
But the current situation was completely different.
In an instant, every Undying in their field of vision had vanished.
Strange.
And there was something terrifying lurking within that strangeness.
"Wait, what?"
The chief steward, Mita, Willow Blade, and all the other upper-level members of Mita were left dumbfounded.
They stood there blankly, at a loss. Just as they were preparing to send the Undying to stab Bai Fu in the back, all the Undying vanished. How were they supposed to play now?
Panic began to spread.
The panic gradually evolved into unease and fear.
Could this be an ill omen?
Or had Bai Fu tricked them?
Unable to figure out what was happening, the chief steward could only hurriedly tell the bait they had just sent out to hold off for the moment and observe the situation before taking action.
Aside from Mita, the other factions that had poached players were no better off.
They hurriedly made inquiries through every channel. Only after learning that the players under Bai Fu had also suddenly disappeared, and that Darkmoon Tide had even given everyone a holiday, did they feel slightly reassured.
It seemed the situation wasn't that bad after all?
"There must be quite a few people who got scared, right?"
Bai Fu guessed gleefully.
She soon restrained her smile because she heard the enhancement notification she had been waiting for.
