Chapter 501: Chapter 261: Unbreakable Good Cards! _2
Furthermore, Fang Mu had also informed his master about the situation with the whale-type Guardian Beast.
Even Qixing Grandmaster showed interest in this whale-type Guardian Beast!
Could this be the financial power of a Grandmaster Creator!?
A Master and Disciple duo could nonchalantly spend 5.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins to purchase a Guardian Beast!
Simultaneously, there was a sense of loss in Gao Hongying’s heart.
Gao Hongying had thought that Fang Mu would offer a Grandmaster-level or Master-level elixir as a barter due to a shortage of liquid cash when he quoted a price of 5.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins.
Trading for money instead of Creator resources did not match Gao Hongying’s ultimate goal.
Fang Mu did not have the time to ponder over Gao Hongying’s thoughts. In Fang Mu’s mind, Gao Hongying was a wrongdoer meant to be harvested.
Sins must be paid for, and leeks must be harvested as expected!
After Fang Mu made the call to Shui Miao, the invasion of Lu City by the Sea Clan had finally come to a stop through Shui Miao’s negotiation.
No more seawater was flooding Lu City, allowing all major forces to assist the distressed citizens of Lu City without worries.
In just half an hour, more than 1.5 million Lu City citizens were rescued.
The Kui Shui Nong Chan Squadron finally had a chance to breathe.
The Sea Defense Corps deployed a considerable amount of their supply reserves to feed the Bursting Water Toads, replenishing the energy that they had exhausted.
They worried that the Sea Clan would continue their attack on Lu City later on.
By that time, the Kui Shui Nong Chan might lose its ability to fight back due to lack of proper restoration.
As the deputy leader of the Sea Defense Corps, Li Yuanchao was utterly confused by the sudden halt in the Sea Clan’s attack.
Li Yuanchao had no idea why the Sea Clan had suddenly launched an attack on Lu City as if on a suicide mission.
He was initially preparing to mobilize all the power of the Sea Defense Corps and reclaim 5000 square kilometers of land under the assault of the Sea Clan.
This would ensure that more victims could be rescued.
There were many official Lu City supply warehouses within the range of 5000 square kilometers defended by the Sea Defense Corps.
Those supply warehouses must not fall into the hands of the Sea Clan by any means.
But even before Li Yuanchao could convene an internal meeting of the Sea Defense Corps and pass down the decision,
The Sea Clan’s attack on Lu City had suddenly ceased.
This left Li Yuanchao feeling like he was dreaming.
However, as the deputy corps leader, his professionalism and duties compelled him to promptly issue the correct orders.
Just as Li Yuanchao was set to make contact with the Sea Clan again officially, to see if the Sea Clan was willing to negotiate with Lu City’s official authorities,
Shu Liangjun found Li Yuanchao.
Given the situation, Li Yuanchao should’ve seen no one, and should’ve been entirely focused on the deployment of the Sea Defense Corps.
But Li Yuanchao knew that this elder who came to him was a person following Fang Mu, and that there likely was crucial news from Fang Mu’s side that he wanted to communicate.
Without hesitation, Li Yuanchao welcomed Shu Liangjun.
Shu Liangjun usually detested negotiations with officials from various federations.
However, because the Dragon Rising Federation was Fang Mu’s hometown, and possibly Qixing’s hometown as well,
Otherwise, Shu Liangjun felt that Qixing wouldn’t have agreed to pour out so many resources for the Dragon Rising Federation if he had no emotional attachment to it.
Therefore, Shu Liangjun patiently spoke to Li Yuanchao.
“The Sea Clan’s current attack isn’t just a temporary halt; the Sea Clan’s assault on Lu City is likely over.”
“Lu City should promptly assess its losses!”
Upon hearing Shu Liangjun’s words, a weight lifted from Li Yuanchao’s heart, but he seriously asked,
“Is this news something that Mr. Jianmu wanted you to tell me?”
Having heard the question, Shu Liangjun observed Li Yuanchao for a while before nodding.
Shu Liangjun felt that Li Yuanchao asking this question was more of him wanting Fang Mu to take on the risk rather than wanting to confirm the accuracy of the news.
In case the Sea Clan continues with the attack, Li Yuanchao, due to the misinformation from his side, would then have something to complain about.
But Shu Liangjun didn’t want to give Li Yuanchao that chance.
“This information indeed comes from Mr. Jianmu’s directive, but no one can guarantee absolute accuracy.”
“After all, anyone can change their mind after making a decision.”
“My suggestion is just what I feel should be done currently.”
“You are the deputy corps leader of the Sea Defense Corps; whether the Corps continues preparation for war, joins the rescue operation, or assesses the losses really depends on your decision.”
Li Yuanchao was taken aback by Shu Liangjun’s words, and he felt as if the elder in front of him had misunderstood something.
Li Yuanchao didn’t choose to defend himself, as all his thoughts were on something else entirely at the moment.
“Indeed no one can guarantee the absolute accuracy of information, but you should know the reason behind the Sea Clan’s halting of the attack.”
“As the deputy leader of the Sea Defense Corps, I need to understand the reasoning behind the Sea Clan’s cease of attack. I hope you can let me know!”
“Someone must take responsibility for this disaster against Lu City!”
Li Yuanchao’s words were firm, he was determined to get some answers out of Shu Liangjun.
Thinking about Fang Mu’s instructions, Shu Liangjun said,
“This matter involves a powerful figure in the Sea Clan from the Han Yang Empire; we were able to mediate and adjust the situation.”
“A few hours will be needed to finalize the situation.”
“But don’t worry, someone will definitely be held responsible for this disaster against Lu City!”
“You just be patient and wait a bit.”
