Chapter 326: A Team of Thirteen
The rchant Guild Alliance wasn’t particularly interested in the Light Sli itself.
What piqued their interest was the Light Crystal Stones.
Wherever Light Slis lived, there were bound to be large deposits of Light Crystal Stones.
These stones were a primary material for crafting healing potions and a vital strategic resource.
"Silver Mask and the Water Dragon Knights are both searching for the Light Sli, so we must return to that place," Bunir said with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
That area was far too dangerous, and mining Light Crystal Stones seed impossible.
The last visit had been a hurried retreat, leaving little ti to thoroughly explore the space.
With Silver Mask’s participation this ti, they might be able to properly investigate the area.
If Silver Mask could eliminate the Radiant Angel, that would be ideal.
Though the incident might tarnish the rchant Guild Alliance’s reputation, Helena was right.
Opposing soone as powerful as Silver Mask was unwise.
"Understood. I’ll have Ulysses and Matthew accompany you," Bunir finally agreed.
A subtle smile appeared on Helena’s lips—that was exactly why she had co.
Considering the unique dangers of that space, the team this ti would consist of true elites.
Everyone would either be a god-tier professional or an emperor-tier professional.
"Once the eting ti is confird, I’ll send soone to notify you, Lord Bunir. For now, I’ll take my leave."
Helena stood up, her graceful figure swaying as she walked out.
Watching her alluring silhouette retreat, Bunir’s eyes revealed a flicker of regret.
Such a beautiful woman, yet untouchable—it was truly a pity.
If Helena weren’t a Grand Water Sage, he could think of a hundred ways to make her obediently crawl into his bed.
Then again, if she weren’t a Grand Water Sage, she might not have caught his interest in the first place.
Only after Helena left the room did Bunir reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
This woman was simply too untouchable, an icy beauty beyond reach.
She rarely appeared at gatherings or balls, leaving no opportunity for closer interaction.
But even if such a chance arose, it likely wouldn’t be his to take.
Helena’s suitors could fill two streets.

Ti passed swiftly.
Unnoticed, five days slipped by quietly.
During those five days, Li ng stayed in the mansion, doing nothing but idly passing ti.
The mansion, a base rented by Bella, was secure for at least six months.
Even if soone dared to evict him, Li ng didn’t mind having a "aty snack" for dinner.
Lounging on the sofa in the hall, Li ng held the Light Sli in his arms.
"What do angels look like?" he asked the Light Sli.
"Feathered people wearing armor. Shiny feathered people," it replied.
The description matched Li ng’s own understanding of angels, bringing a glimr of anticipation to his eyes.
He wondered just how powerful a Radiant Angel could be.
Would it be a worthy opponent for him to face in a full-strength battle?
Of course, he’d prefer to avoid a fight altogether.
He wasn’t a battle maniac—his goal was the Light Sli.
Unnecessary trouble was better avoided.
Overconfidence could lead to costly mistakes.
Although he was now incredibly strong and nearly impossible to kill, even the strongest had their weaknesses.
If his weakness were discovered, he could still be defeated.
That said, did he really have a weakness?
In his current state, his body was practically indestructible.
Even if certain body parts were severed, they would regenerate.
The only way to kill him would be to grind him to dust.
And even then, as long as Susan remained alive, he would still return.
Unless Xiao Bai betrayed him or Susan was killed, true death was impossible for him.
"At the end of the day, I might just be a tool," Li ng mused.
His experiences over the years had given him much to ponder.
He suspected that his presence in this world was orchestrated by so higher existence.
For instance, the shadowy figure in his dreams and the simulator felt more like tools for foreseeing future events and granting him the power to overco obstacles.
Li ng sighed but didn’t dwell on it too much.
Whether he was a tool or a free man didn’t matter.
Having a purpose in life wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Besides, even a harem of 3,000 concubines would beco dull over ti.
Suddenly, Li ng’s gaze shifted toward the door.
Soone was here.
Knock, knock!
Sure enough, the door was knocked.
Li ng released the Light Sli, which leapt from his arms and bounced toward the door.
Monts later, the sound of the door unlocking echoed through the hall.
Outside, Helena was montarily stunned to see the Light Sli open the door, but she soon smiled and greeted it.
"Hello there. Is your master ho?"
The Light Sli turned and bounced back toward the hall, with Helena following behind.
Upon entering, Helena saw Silver Mask lounging on the sofa.
"Is it ti to leave?" Li ng asked, his eyes lingering on Helena’s curvaceous figure.
Though only five days had passed, her body still looked as enticing as ever.
Helena nodded.
"The team is assembled. We depart tomorrow."
Li ng gestured for her to co closer and shifted slightly to make room.
"Co here."
Helena blushed slightly and approached him.
She lay down on the sofa next to him, her soft body nestling into his embrace.
"How many are in the team this ti?"
Helena inhaled deeply, blushing as she caught the scent of Silver Mask’s body.
"Thirteen. Besides Matthew and Ulysses, the others are all emperor-tier professionals."
Deploying thirteen high-tier professionals was indeed excessive.
Such a force could only be easily gathered in a place like the labyrinth city, where powerhouses congregated.
On the Southern Continent, this team alone could overthrow a kingdom.
No one could stop a decapitation strike from such a squad.
Helena’s body was incredibly soft.
As Li ng felt her warmth, he mused about the natural allure females held for males.
Even though goblins only had males and no females, he still experienced this instinctive attraction.
Perhaps it was just his perception.
For goblins, sexual desire was driven more by the need to reproduce than physical impulses.
In fact, goblins often preferred to eat females rather than mate with them.
Why?
Perhaps it was because female at was more tender and flavorful.
Occasionally, Li ng felt a peculiar urge to devour the won he had been with.
"Will you return tonight?"
Helena blushed and adjusted her position in his arms for comfort.
"No. I’ll stay. Let’s et outside the town tomorrow."
"Helena."
"Yes?"
"Do you know about the Undead Nation?"
"Yes. It’s a land of calamity on the Central Continent—a very dangerous place.”
