Chapter 139 We're All on the Same Side, Why Fight?
"Elder Yue, is the island ahead the one we're here to take over?"
On the deck of the main ship, Bibi Dong's gaze swept across the sea, looking straight at the horizon where the sea and sky met.
Yue Guan said, "Your Highness, according to the sea chart and coordinates provided by the Spirit Branch Hall of Hanhai City, the destination ahead is our destination."
The ghostly figure beside him said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, Miss Ah Yin, and Miss Ye, if a fight breaks out later, you must protect yourselves and not act recklessly."
Bibi Dong calmly said, "Elder Gui, there's no need to worry too much. I am a Soul Saint, after all, and I can protect myself more than enough."
"Yes, Elder Gui," Ye Qingshuang immediately chimed in, "Our cultivation is not weak either, and we will never hold you back."
Ah Yin nodded gently, her voice soft yet firm: "We will be extra careful and will never cause you any trouble."
However, at that moment, Yue Guan's expression suddenly froze, and he soared into the air, standing in mid-air.
"Everyone, immediately enter combat readiness!" Yue Guan used his soul power to envelop his voice, which had extremely strong penetrating power and spread to all the accompanying ships behind him.
Upon hearing the sound, the Spirit Hall Soul Masters on the deck moved swiftly and efficiently, without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, they formed a neat and orderly line, their expressions solemn and their breathing steady.
Anyone could see that these people were no ordinary individuals, but rather a highly trained and battle-hardened elite force.
On the deck below, Bibi Dong frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Elder Gui, what happened?"
She was currently only at the Soul Saint level, and her perception was far inferior to that of the level 96 Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
There was nothing unusual within her perception range.
Gui Mei's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on the direction of Seagod Island, and he said in a deep voice:
"A large number of sea soul beasts are approaching us, numbering in the hundreds, including one that is a 100,000-year-old sea soul beast."
He paused, his tone growing increasingly heavy:
"Although Yue Guan and I are both level 96, this is the ocean, so we can't unleash our full strength."
"Sea soul beasts are greatly enhanced in the ocean, making them far stronger than on land."
"Even if the two of us join forces, it will be difficult to defeat a 100,000-year-old sea soul beast in a short time."
"What? A 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
Bibi Dong exclaimed in surprise, her composure vanishing instantly, replaced by a deep sense of gravity.
"Indeed. Your Highness, and the other two, please make sure to protect yourselves and do not approach."
"I'll go help Yue Guan."
After giving his instructions, Gui Mei flashed and leaped to Yue Guan's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
Before long, the sea in everyone's sight began to surge violently, and white figures darted across the surface of the sea, rushing toward the fleet.
Yue Guan narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's actually the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm."
"Prepare for battle!" Gui Mei shouted sharply. "We must not allow any sea soul beast to approach the main ship. We must ensure the safety of Her Highness, the Holy Maiden!"
At this moment, golden petals floated around Yue Guan, and the Chrysanthemum Spirit condensed in his palm.
A ghostly aura spread out from Gui Mei's body, and his Spirit was released.
Both of them had the best soul ring configuration at their feet: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
At the same time, the group of Spirit Hall experts on the lower deck also activated their soul power and released their Spirits, ready for battle.
In an instant, various soul rings appeared one after another, with yellow, purple, and black colors intertwined, shining brightly.
The weakest member of this team had reached the Soul Master level, and there were several Soul Douluos in the team, making them a force to be reckoned with.
The sea breeze howled across the deck, and the waves crashed against the hull, instantly plunging the entire fleet into a tense atmosphere.
Soon, the group of great white sharks stopped a hundred meters away from the fleet, facing off against it.
"Humans, this is the forbidden area of Seagod Island! Leave immediately, or you will be killed without mercy!"
The leader, Xiaobai the Demon Soul Great White Shark, floated on the surface of the sea, speaking in human language.
Xiaobai did not act immediately.
On the high seas, she was confident she could fight Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
However, the number of powerful individuals on the opposing side far exceeded that of her clan. Once the war began, her clan would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, Xiaobai didn't want to take action easily.
Upon hearing this, both Yue Guan and Gui Mei in mid-air were stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
These Demon Soul Great White Sharks were actually guarding the island in front of them?
But wasn't that island a gathering place for human soul masters? How could it be guarded by a 100,000-year-old soul beast? How could soul beasts and humans coexist peacefully?
At this moment, Yue Guan spoke in a cold voice:
"Hmph, I didn't expect this remote island to be guarded by a 100,000-year-old soul beast. However..."
He paused, his tone becoming increasingly forceful:
"We have come here on the orders of His Holiness the Pope, with the aim of recruiting the Soul Masters on the island and spreading the glory of the Angel God."
"If you insist on being enemies with the Spirit Hall today, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Do you really think that your clan alone can withstand the elite army of my Spirit Hall?"
In fact, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were quite tempted by this 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark.
After all, a 100,000-year-old soul bone is a treasure that soul masters dream of.
However, their primary mission was to subjugate Seagod Island.
If they got into a deadly battle with the Demon Soul Great White Sharks here, and if there were other hidden powerhouses on the island, the mission might fail.
Therefore, they were not very willing to take action.
Xiaobai was taken aback upon hearing this, a strange look flashing in her eyes:
"Wait... are you from the Spirit Hall?"
Yue Guan snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance:
"Oh? I didn't expect you to have heard of the Spirit Hall's reputation."
"Since that's the case, those who know what's good for them will obediently step aside and not block our way, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite."
Xiaobai ignored Yue Guan's threat and instead asked seriously:
"Do you know Lord Su Mo?"
Upon hearing this, the entire area fell into a deathly silence.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both stunned, their faces showing disbelief.
On the deck below, Bibi Dong, Ah Yin, and Ye Qingshuang were also stunned, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
This 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark actually knew Su Mo?
She even called him Lord Su Mo?
"Do you know our Spirit Hall's Holy Son?" Yue Guan asked tentatively.
"Indeed, Lord Su Mo has been on Seagod Island for some time now, and he is already with our High Priest. The two are very much in love."
"If you insist on attacking Seagod Island, aren't you afraid of Lord Su Mo's wrath?"
The news that Su Mo and Bo Saixi were together was now common knowledge throughout the entire Seagod Island.
Not long ago, Xiaobai had also learned about Su Mo's background.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei stared at each other, speechless for a long time.
They were sent by the Pope with two thousand elite troops to take over Seagod Island.
They formed a battle formation and displayed their Spirits, looking ready to start a war at any moment.
It turned out that their own Holy Son had already been on this island all along?
Not only was he on the island, but he had also captured the High Priest of Seagod Island?
What else were they recruiting?
What's the point of fighting?
Aren't they all their own people?
