Chapter 334 A wolf in sheep's clothing, divine grace will come to the rescue.
The disaster that befell Senlong Port was actually a trap meticulously set by ambitious individuals, and all those who offered aid without knowing the truth would become resources for them to satisfy their ambitions.
Xiao Yun sat on the wall, looking at the Senlong Harbor executives who were asking for help through the system panel.
These wolves in sheep's clothing are going on and on about their plan to retake the harbor.
"Our harbor's manager, Lord Kamitsukiyo, is still trapped in the harbor's central research institute, making a final stand with his trusted confidants."
"Although according to the information we have received, the situation is very bad, we believe that as long as you, sir, take action and make contact with Lord Shingetsuyo, we can attack from both inside and outside and defeat those goblins in one fell swoop."
"Furthermore, to be frank, Lord Shingetsuyo possesses methods capable of countering totems."
The leader, Li Xiuchen, who claimed to be the deputy manager of the harbor, spoke with great confidence: "As long as we deal with the totem power that the goblins rely on, those inferior creatures can be wiped out in the blink of an eye."
"Hmm, not bad————"
Xiao Yun nodded slightly, revealing an approving expression.
"It is our honor to be able to share your burdens."
Li Xiuchen and the others bowed their heads respectfully, looking up at Xiao Yun, but their gleaming eyes were filled with ambition that was completely different from their humility.
Like a wild beast watching its prey about to walk right into its trap.
"The villains these days are really bad; they're so unskilled at plotting and scheming."
Xiao Yun chuckled inwardly, but deliberately feigned hesitation on the surface: "To be honest, I was also severely injured in the battle just now, and I'm afraid I won't recover for a while."
Li Xiuchen frowned slightly, forcing a stiff smile: "So, was your promise to help us reclaim the harbor just a joke?"
"Alas, that's impossible. I, Gu, come from Wuyou Township and am an upright man who never tells lies."
Xiao Yun's expression hardened, and he said seriously, "What I mean is that the recapture of the harbor needs to be planned carefully, with ample preparation, and should be carried out in batches, from different angles, and with different priorities—a slow, deliberate, and prudent recapture—"
Xiao Yun rattled off a whole bunch of things, leaving Li Xiuchen and the others feeling utterly overwhelmed.
After listening to Xiao Yun ramble on for a while, Li Xiuchen and the others understood his meaning: they could help, but they would have to wait.
When will that be?
At the right time.
,
Looking at this incredibly tough guy, Li Xiuchen and the others were speechless.
"You slew the deep-sea demon whale with your sword. I originally thought you were a loyal and brave man, but who knew you were just a cowardly rat!"
Li Xiuchen's words were extremely harsh, intended to provoke Xiao Yun into a fit of rage.
As expected, Xiao Yun got carried away.
Clang!
The mithril sword was drawn and placed against Li Xiuchen's neck.
"Do you think I can't kill you?"
Xiao Yun wore a cold smile, his killing intent boiling.
Li Xiuchen suddenly felt a large wet patch on his pants, and a gust of sea breeze brought a chill that penetrated to his very core.
This reverse psychology tactic isn't working!
Li Xiuchen almost cried out, his legs went weak, and he was about to beg Xiao Yun for mercy.
Just then, a sigh came from afar.
"In the face of disaster, we should work together; how can we fight amongst ourselves?"
Then, a burst of light emerged, transforming into a large hand that gently pushed away Xiao Yun's sword.
"The sixth-ranked individual is also a powerful one."
Xiao Yun instantly recognized the strength of the newcomer and turned to look.
A white ship slowly approached, its bow adorned with a striking golden statue holding a cross.
"It's the Grace Society!"
Behind Li Xiuchen, someone exclaimed in surprise, as if they had seen a savior, and their face lit up with joy.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Li Xiuchen's eyes.
"Lord Shingetsuyo said that the Divine Grace Society is quite powerful, and it's best not to involve them to avoid any unforeseen circumstances."
"But in this situation, it's a good thing for us that a powerful force has stepped in to check and balance this madman surnamed Gu."
"Even if there are multiple sixth-order units, the facilities in the harbor are sufficient to handle them."
Thinking of this, his expression gradually calmed down, and a look of confidence flashed across his face.
"Hmph, with these guys as resources, Lord Shingetsuyo's plan is almost complete. At that time, even the Divine Grace Society will be nothing to fear."
But those are things to consider later.
The most important thing now is—
Li Xiuchen roared at the God's Grace Society's ship, "Sir, save me!"
Xiao Yun glanced at the spineless fellow, slashed his waist with his sword, and said coldly, "What are you yelling about? Quiet down."
After saying that, he looked at the God's Grace Society's ships, his eyes flashing.
Through Kong Changhao's intelligence, he also gained some understanding of this force.
The Divine Grace Society is a considerable force; before the continents were divided, in the Western Continent, it was only one level below the New World Alliance.
Now, it controls a large area, profiting under the guise of protection, and treating Senlong Harbor as its private property.
"These guys are pretty quick."
"Hopefully, no more forces will get involved, otherwise the situation will become even more chaotic."
Xiao Yun sighed softly and put away the mithril sword.
Originally, I just wanted to use this as an excuse to see if I could forcefully plant a seed of fire in Li Xiuchen and obtain some key intelligence.
However, under the watchful eyes of the sixth-order powerhouses, they still cannot engage in such petty tricks, lest they expose themselves.
At the bow of the white ship, a white-haired priest looked at Xiao Yun, remained silent for a long time, and slowly put down the scripture in his hand.
He came to save Senlong Harbor, not to kill people.
More importantly, he couldn't quite see through Xiao Yun.
It looks unremarkable at first glance, and upon closer inspection, it's even a bit ugly.
However, in his spiritual perception, Xiao Yun seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, with a faint aura of danger emanating from him, making his soul tremble.
"Regardless of one's stance, it's best not to offend them."
The priest labeled Xiao Yun, and at the same time, the ship stopped not far from the [Mirror].
After a brief exchange, both parties had a general understanding of the current situation.
"Everyone has their own way of doing things, and you can't force someone to do something this dangerous."
The priest, with a gentle expression, nodded slightly to Xiao Yun: "Moreover, protecting Senlong Harbor is the duty of our Divine Grace Society. We are already extremely grateful that you are willing to take righteous action to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale."
"Of course, if you are willing to help us deal with the goblins in Senlong Harbor, we are also willing to offer you sufficient compensation."
Faced with his invitation, Xiao Yun only hesitated for a moment before smiling and nodding: "No problem, I am willing to act together with your guild."
"Thank you for your heroic act. The gods will bless you, and divine grace will ensure your safety during the operation."
.
Seeing the two of them smiling brightly, Li Xiuchen rolled his eyes unhappily.
"What heroic act? He's just afraid of dying!"
"Pah! You coward, bully the weak and fear the strong. When the Divine Grace Society comes, you change your tune faster than anyone else."
Li Xiuchen glared at Xiao Yun, a cold glint in his eyes: "Damn it, once we get into the harbor, you'll be the first person I kill!"
Just then, the priest suddenly looked over and said, "Mr. Li, would you like to come and join us on board? I'd like to inquire about the current situation in the harbor."
Li Xiuchen's expression changed instantly. He smiled and bowed deeply, saying, "It's my greatest honor!"
The priest nodded and looked at Xiao Yun: "Then, Mr. Gu Yun, see you tomorrow."
"Yes, see you tomorrow, Father Elias."
Xiao Yun nodded in response and watched them leave.
