“If I choose to interfere?” Lin Yun smiled.
After all, that group of elves had just shown him the way, so Lin Yun did not mind lending them a hand.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Yun swiftly launched a divine-sense attack against the black-clothed elves.
Lin Yun had never studied the secret divine-sense techniques of the elf race, so he could only condense his divine sense into the simplest form of materialised attack.
Since the divine sense of these black-clothed elves was considerably lower than his own, even the most basic materialised attack was more than enough to deal with them. This relied entirely on the advantage of his higher divine-sense realm.
If he encountered an elf whose divine sense had also reached the Guiyuan level, Lin Yun would probably be completely unable to win using divine sense alone.
Under Lin Yun’s powerful divine sense, the group of black-clothed elves collapsed in moments and fled in defeat.
“You dare interfere in the affairs of our Pudo Society? You will certainly pay the price!” The leader of the black-clothed elves threw this ruthless remark at Lin Yun as he escaped.
Lin Yun did not pursue them. Driving them away was sufficient.
When the rescued team of elves saw their attackers routed, they all let out a long sigh of relief.
For them, the black-clothed elves had overwhelmingly superior strength and numbers. Had Lin Yun not intervened, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Even so, before Lin Yun acted, two of their elves had already been killed, and the others had sustained injuries of varying severity.
“Senior, thank you very much for saving us. Without you, we would have been in serious trouble today.”
The middle-aged male elf immediately stepped forward, bowed, and expressed his gratitude.
“Now you shouldn’t still think that I was following you with ill intentions, right?” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“This… of course not! It was my misunderstanding earlier. I hope you can forgive me, senior.” The middle-aged elf gave an embarrassed smile.
They were well aware that, with Lin Yun’s Guiyuan-level realm, if he had wanted to harm them, he would have acted long ago. They would have been powerless to resist.
“What exactly is that Pudo Society?” Lin Yun asked.
“A notorious organisation that frequently robs and plunders everywhere. If you were a local, senior, you would know this,” the middle-aged elf replied.
“What is the strength of their most powerful member?” Lin Yun asked.
“It is said that the president of the Pudo Society has reached the Wuliang level. Senior, since you saved us, the Pudo Society may seek revenge. You must be careful,” the middle-aged elf warned.
“Wuliang level? That is indeed higher than mine,” Lin Yun said with a laugh.
The man’s divine-sense realm was indeed higher than Lin Yun’s, but Lin Yun’s true combat strength was far, far beyond that level.
“By the way, where are you headed?” Lin Yun asked.
“We are going to Bango City, the one we mentioned to you earlier. It is roughly nine days’ journey from here,” the middle-aged elf said.
“In that case, may I travel with you? I happen to be heading to a city ahead as well,” Lin Yun said.
“Of course, no problem at all!” The middle-aged elf agreed readily.
For him, having a powerhouse like Lin Yun accompany them was equivalent to gaining a strong bodyguard for the team. Nothing could be better.
Moreover, since Lin Yun had not attacked them, it proved he posed no threat.
Thus, Lin Yun joined the group and travelled with them.
Along the way, none of them discovered Lin Yun’s human identity.
Nine days later.
When Lin Yun reached the end of the road, a city indeed came into view.
As a human, entering an elven city naturally carried considerable risk.
But Lin Yun had to go in to obtain a map.
At the city gate, he even noticed elven guards checking everyone who entered.
Soon it was their group’s turn.
This put Lin Yun on high alert. He even prepared himself for how to respond if his identity was exposed.
The middle-aged elf leading the team handed over a document to the guards.
After examining it, the guards waved them through, and Lin Yun followed the group, passing smoothly through the gate.
Once inside, Lin Yun parted ways with the team, found a relatively high-end shop in the city, and planned to purchase a map.
The elves had their own currency, but Haoyue crystals were also accepted, so Lin Yun had no worry about payment.
After buying the map, Lin Yun noticed the shop also sold divine-sense skill manuals. He asked the owner to bring out their most expensive manual, then spent over ten million Haoyue crystals to purchase it.
