Upon seeing that the door frame and main door of the Hall Master's Chamber were made of expensive Golden Silk Nanmu, Su He's gaze turned very unfriendly.

Take this expensive wood, for example. Back when he was carrying out his Usurpation Plan in the Heaven Dou Empire, he was able to access such precious materials. Even in the Spirit Hall, the residence of his grandfather, the Lion Douluo, did not have such grandeur.

If the Spirit Hall is likened to a court, then the Red Cardinal a third-rank official, second only to the Titled Douluo Elders and the Platinum Bishop at the Soul Douluo level, wielding considerable power.

Su He had thought that the corruption within the Spirit Hall was limited to some mid-level cadres at the Soul Ancestor and Soul King levels, but she never expected that even high-level cadres would exhibit such treacherous behavior, serving two sides.

"It seems we really need to do some serious rectification."

Su He thought to herself, a fleeting chill flashing in her golden eyes before returning to calm.

After exchanging a glance with Qian Renxue, Su He was about to knock on the door of the Palace Master's office when, unexpectedly, the precious Golden Silk Nanmu door opened from the inside first.

A middle-aged man wearing the red robe exclusive to the city hall master of the Spirit Hall peeked out from the room, and the moment he opened the door, his gaze met that of Su He and Qian Renxue.

The newcomer was clearly quite old; his still-black hair could not conceal the wrinkles on his face. This man was none other than Seth, the Hall Master of the Spirit Main Hall of Vast Sea City, a red-robed bishop belonging to the Spirit Hall.

His Martial Soul is the Ice Pincer Giant Crab, a high-level Beast Martial Soul, and his strength has reached the level of Soul Sage at level 76, making him a high-ranking official of the Spirit Hall.

The moment Seth saw Su He Qian Renxue Qian Renxue, Seth quickly assessed their attire and demeanor, finally confirming that these were indeed the two adults who had come from above.

A smile played on his lips as he gave Su He and Qian Renxue a subordinate's salute.

"Red Cardinal Seth greets Your Highnesses."

Indeed, not only Qian Renxue, but also these Spirit Hall officials addressed Su He as "Your Highness" rather than "Young Master."

"Young Master" was the title given to him by some of the servants in the Worship Hall who were close to him.

Su He didn't speak, Qian Renxue nodded slightly and said in a cool voice.

"Bishop Salas, there's no need for such formalities."

With a casual wave of her slender hand, Qian Renxue's powerful Angel Soul Power lifted Seth, who was bent over, up. This startled Seth, who could clearly sense that the young and beautiful girl in front of him possessed strength far exceeding his own. At the same time, even Su He, who appeared to be younger, exuded a faint but dangerous aura.

It has to be said that Bishop Salas's sense of danger is truly keen; Su He and Qian Renxue really have come to settle scores with him later.

"Su He and I came here simply to inquire with Bishop Salas whether the ships that the main temple requested Vast Sea City to prepare have been ready."

Seth was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant and said...

"Of course! Your Highnesses, please wait a moment. I have already prepared two of the largest 'Ocean Dragon' warships, each capable of carrying eight hundred people. The shipwrights and other personnel are already on board, awaiting your arrival."

A large ship that can carry five hundred people is certainly enough. You must know that the oceans of the Douluo Continent are not calm and peaceful, but full of dangers.

The ocean is teeming with powerful Sea Soul Beast of the 100,000-year level, far exceeding the total number of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on several landmasses. This journey to the Sun Moon Continent requires thorough preparation.

Led by Seth, Su He and Qian Renxue arrived at Heaven Sea Port, the largest port in Vast Sea City.

Heaven Sea Port is a massive harbor. The first thing you see is a row of giant ships, arranged from smallest to largest, with the foremost ship being over 100 meters long.

And at the edge of the horizon, there were two enormous, colossal ships.

It is about 400 meters long, 150 meters wide, and 100 meters high. There is also a giant mast standing on the hull, and the sails are rolled up and not yet lowered.

Su He and Qian Renxue followed Bishop Salas over and examined the two enormous dragon-bone warships.

The hull is covered with countless holes; this is the oarsman's room. Hundreds of strong men without Soul Power row here, propelling the boat forward.

These people are all commoners at the very bottom of the Douluo Continent, supporting themselves by doing the lowest-level manual labor and some basic transactions. Don't underestimate this boating job; such a job, which includes food and lodging, is a highly sought-after opportunity for commoners.

Above these oar ports were densely packed cannon muzzles, each containing a small boat cannon controlled by a gunner.

These cannons, positioned in every direction of the Ocean Dragon, would deliver a Destruction blow to any invading enemy.

The three arrived at the harbor, climbed the steps, and boarded the Ocean Dragon. The massive warship's deck was covered in terrifying spikes, and the wall-like patterns made boarding and raiding it even more difficult. The Soul Master's living quarters were located on the deck below, where there were also service areas such as a dining room and activity area. Only the command room and the helm were located on the deck.

Looking at the giant ship, Su He was very satisfied. It was indeed an excellent vessel, and it seemed that Seth hadn't fooled them into completing this mission. After inspecting the ship, Su He and Qian Renxue followed Seth back to the Spirit Main Hall in Vast Sea City.

"Your Highnesses, if there is nothing else, I have prepared accommodations for you..."

Just as Seth was about to tell the guest to leave, he unexpectedly saw Qian Renxue looking at the interior decorations of the Spirit Main Hall with great interest.

"Bishop Salas has such refined taste; these wooden ornaments are made of high-grade Golden Silk Nanmu..."

Qian Renxue said with a hint of surprise.

"These are just small gadgets... nothing special."

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Seth felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding, causing him to tremble uncomfortably.

"What gadget? As far as I know, only the corrupt royal family and nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire would use this kind of thing..."

Su He chuckled, then seemed to see something and said...

"And this Abyssal Sea Crystal from Sea God Island is so beautiful; it truly deserves its exorbitant price."

"Oh, Bishop Salas."

Su He asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I have some questions. As Red Cardinal of the Spirit Hall, why do you possess high-grade gems from Sea God Island?"

"I almost forgot, Bishop Salas's daughter got married a few days ago, and we haven't given her a wedding gift yet!"
