Pan Cheng explained, "I think the principle is similar to our sound transmission stone. Brother Xu has been kind to me, so of course I have to grant his request."
"I see..."
Luo Yu nodded thoughtfully.
But before he could say anything, Xu Shi, who had just reached the door, was stopped by the two bronze-level gatekeepers.
"I'm sorry, I disagree."
One of them shook his head seriously with a cold face.
"What?"
Xu Shi pretended not to understand and blinked in confusion.
"This Mr. Xu is an outsider, right?"
Another person chimed in, "I was just about to remind Knight Luo and Island Lord Pan that the Hualan Empire has never seen outsiders before, and their purpose and motives cannot be fully determined..."
"...Therefore, we should not rashly agree to their demands."
"You're all overthinking it."
Xu Shi smiled and sighed, "Just like Brother Pan said, it's just a normal communication method. Shall I show you?"
Even if you say that, it won't work.
The two bronze-level experts persisted, saying, "We hope you can understand, Mr. Xu."
"So what do you plan to do?"
Xu asked with great interest.
"You are the first outsider from the Hualan Empire."
The bronze-armored man said seriously, "Therefore, the empire has no relevant laws, and we alone cannot make a decision."
"Then, just to be on the safe side, I think you and your team should come with us to the capital of the empire to meet Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Pope, and then let them make the decision."
“You’re right, we definitely have to go.”
Xu Shi did not object, "I originally planned to stay here for a few days, and after settling in, I would go to pay my respects to your Queen and Pope."
"If that's the case, then thank you for your understanding."
Bronze B nodded. "If you don't mind, could you and your fleet return to the ship and wait for a few days? We'll take you with us on our return journey."
"Ah, this..."
"How could this be?!"
Before Xu Shi could say anything, Pan Cheng became restless. "Brother Xu is my savior, why do you need to be so wary? I am the owner of Silver Pine Island, what's wrong with letting people stay here?"
He's a straightforward person; once he's decided that Xu Shi is a good person, he won't change his mind. The life-saving grace is there for all to see, so of course he wouldn't want Xu Shi and the others to be effectively placed under house arrest.
There was something else he didn't say: he had personally witnessed the fighting strength of Xu Shi's fleet. If he really had malicious intentions, would he still be sitting here calmly?
The two bronze-level experts remained unmoved.
"Since you've all said so, I can postpone the construction of this base station until we've finished communicating with each other."
Xu Shi sighed, "But wouldn't it be a bit much to go back to the ship? I don't know how long you'll be staying there."
"We ask for Mr. Xu's cooperation."
The bronze-armored man still shook his head.
"oh."
Xu Shi laughed, "What will happen if I don't cooperate?"
"Then don't blame us for being rude."
The four bronze-level warriors exchanged glances, drew their swords, and instantly surrounded him.
Their positioning was very skillful, and the direction their swords were pointing seemed to have a significance.
In no time at all, a formation-like object appeared on the ground, with patterns flowing with light, holy and beautiful.
Xu Shi was quite curious when he saw this, so he reached out and touched it. There was now an invisible wall around him, trapping him inside.
This was clearly some kind of combat technique of theirs, something he had never seen before in the City of Night Sin.
"They just arrested me outright?"
Xu Shi chuckled lightly, showing no sign of fear or worry.
"I was just explaining the pros and cons to you."
Bronze C spoke coldly, "Please understand."
These people looked expressionless and had an imperious air about them, but they actually felt something was off.
Their sword formation not only encircles, but should also oppress those inside, yet... how come they seem completely unharmed?
They were knocking and tapping all over the place, just like a foreman inspecting a house. I've never seen anything like this before...
I understand you!
Before they could figure it out, an angry shout came from not far away.
The next second, the armor on these bronze figures seemed to come alive and began to writhe, then suddenly transformed into sharp teeth that pierced deep into flesh!
"ah----!"
The sudden, intense pain made them cry out, and the swords in their hands fell to the ground.
Looking up, I saw Yu Xingchuan.
"I just don't understand, what kind of rules are these?"
She darted over in an instant, staring coldly at the group, "Chairman Xu... what did the young master do that warrants such a fuss?!"
"It's only because the young master has a good temper and doesn't want to get into conflicts with you, but I don't care! Anyone who goes against him will suffer this fate!"
"Oh, Hoshikawa, you're here."
Xu Shi looked wronged, but secretly he was laughing to himself.
Pan Cheng and his companions stood frozen in place, clearly unaware that Xu Shi, the guard, possessed such great abilities, as she had never demonstrated them before.
It's unclear who was at fault... Pan Cheng rarely felt like complaining, but that's how it turned out. Those bronze knights were now lying on the ground, rolling around in pain.
It wasn't just that their arms were pierced; as they spoke, fangs sprouted from their armor, biting off their right arms cleanly!
Xu Shi naturally escaped unharmed and stretched leisurely.
