The Encirclement Begins
Xu Mingxi was unaware of what was happening around Starfall Mountain. He had made all the necessary preparations, and now it was up to him to see how the hunt would end.
He is now leading his team, guided by the directional Soul Tool in his hand, thousands of meters above the sea, where he has minimized his Soul Power fluctuations and is flying rapidly.
Since almost losing his way back after going to the Sun Moon Continent, the First Elder has worked tirelessly and finally discovered a Soul Beast called the Child-Mother Silkworm. He used its characteristics to develop a directional Soul Tool.
Xu Mingguang held the daughter device in his hand, while Xu Mingxi held the mother device. Guided by these devices, the group successfully arrived above the Swordfish.
Immediately afterwards, a glimmer of Starlight appeared in Xu Mingxi's hand, emitting a dim glow in the night sky.
The Sect Master and Xu Mingguang in the sea raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other and nodded, and then slowly steered the Swordfish to the surface.
As Star Crown Soul Master sensitive to Starlight, the two of them could naturally detect the special signal in the night sky and know that it was someone from their sect.
Xu Mingxi led everyone to carefully descend from the sky, pass through the concealment shield, and land on the Swordfish, keeping their voices extremely low.
"Brother Mingguang, where are they now? What's their situation?"
"Bo Saixi has personally gone to sea to search for Soul Beast for Tang San, and there should be results within the next day or two."
"Really? She didn't find out about you, did she?"
"Probably not. We're still quite far from there. Unless she got close to us while Soul Hunting beasts, there's absolutely no way she would have noticed."
"That's fine then."
Xu Mingxi felt relieved and steered the Swordfish back to the seabed, waiting for Bo Saixi to return with the Soul Beast so that Tang San could begin absorbing the Soul Ring.
He believed that with Bo Saixi's strength, once she spotted Sea Soul Beast, it would be unable to escape her grasp and wouldn't need to go far.
As Xu Mingxi guessed, Bo Saixi had indeed chosen the core of the habitat of the Poison Algae Dragon, a type of Soul Beast.
She had only been sinking for a short time when she discovered the trail of the Poison Algae Dragon Clan. With her powerful strength, she had a better control over the water than these Sea Soul Beasts.
There is a troublesome Chief Poison Algae Dragon that is over 90,000 years old and close to 100,000 years old, but she doesn't need to capture it; she can just drive it away.
Knowing that he was no match for the Poison Algae Dragon, the Chief had no choice but to abandon the 39,000-year-old member of his tribe and lead the remaining members to dive rapidly and escape from the area.
With water gathering in her hands, Bo Saixi moved swiftly through the ocean with her spoils, the ocean's undercurrents providing her with support and propelling her out of the water.
He casually tossed the unconscious Poison Algae Dragon onto the deck. With a thud, the green slime on the Poison Algae Dragon's body splashed up, and a few drops landed on Tang San and Tang Hao's heads.
"Tang San, this Poison Algae Dragon is a 39,000-year-old Soul Beast. Its bloodline is far stronger than that of the Blue Silver Grass. Have you thought this through?"
"Don't worry, senior. I have thought it through. If I want to avenge the seniors Sea Dragon, this is something I must bear."
"Okay, go ahead and do it."
Tang San drew his Godly Zhuge Crossbow and was about to make his move when the unconscious Poison Algae Dragon suddenly woke up and began to struggle wildly on the deck.
In this critical moment, Tang San remained calm and composed, his Blue Silver Grass appearing in his hand, and the sixth black Soul Ring lighting up.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Prison."
Strands of Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the deck, binding the Poison Algae Dragon tightly. Tang San was confident that this Soul Skill, derived from a 20,000-year-old Crypt Demon Spider, would definitely be able to trap it firmly.
He raised the Godly Zhuge Crossbow with style, aimed at the Poison Algae Dragon's eye, and was about to deliver a fatal blow when a crisp cracking sound pulled him back to reality.
The Blue Silver Grass binding the Poison Algae Dragon quickly crumbled, and even the Godly Zhuge Crossbow that he had urgently fired could not harm it in the slightest.
"It's incredibly powerful."
Tang San had barely finished speaking and hadn't even moved to dodge the Poison Algae Dragon's attack when Bo Saixi, unable to bear watching any longer, made her move.
The water flowed around her, gradually spreading to the Poison Algae Dragon, binding it tightly, and exposing its most vulnerable neck, which was then presented to Tang San.
This change left Tang Hao, who was standing beside him, stunned, but he couldn't say anything. He could only comfort himself that as long as Tang San was promoted to Titled Douluo, he should be able to resist the violent energy during the cultivation of Twin Martial Souls with the help of the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
When the time comes, as long as Tang San adds Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, he will be an invincible being, and will have no need for this useless Blue Silver Grass.
Tang San's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly regained his usual warm demeanor, expressed his gratitude to Bo Saixi, and then ended the life of the Poison Algae Dragon with each slice.
As the Black Soul Ring rose, Tang San sat cross-legged on the deck, mobilizing his Soul Power to guide the Soul Ring. All of this was seen by Huo Quan in the distance.
At the command of the Spirit-Eyed Youth, the Swordfish set off towards Tang San's direction. When he saw Bo Saixi looking in his direction as if sensing something, he knew the time had come.
"Your Majesty, it is time."
"Alright, everyone, whether Douluo Continent can be completely controlled by our two forces depends on this."
The Swordfish slowly rose to the surface, and the Titled Douluo ascended into the air. Under Xu Mingguang's illusionary cover, they quickly approached Tang San and the others.
On the wooden sailing ship, Bo Saixi frowned as she looked at the calm sea in the distance. She always felt that something was spying on them from that empty place.
Is it Sea Soul Beast? Or a human?
A bad premonition suddenly rose in Bo Saixi's heart. She turned around and looked at Tang San, who was absorbing the Soul Ring. Her premonition grew stronger.
"Everyone, turn around immediately and return to Sea God Island as quickly as possible."
The Sea Soul Master on the ship were very puzzled, but they immediately responded to the high High Priest's order and began to steer the ship toward Sea God Island.
Unaware of what had happened, Tang Hao was worried that the ship's movements might affect Tang San, so he anxiously looked at Bo Saixi and asked her a question, still puzzled.
Bo Saixi ignored it; her unease grew stronger. She spread her Soul Power around but found no suspicious Soul Beast or humans.
She tapped the deck with the Seagod Scepter, and invisible ripples spread out, causing the ship to accelerate suddenly yet remain remarkably stable, without disturbing Tang San who was absorbing the Soul Ring.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, she looked up at the sky, her brows furrowed, and the magnificent Sea God Trident appeared in her hand.
"Where does Sea God Douluo think he's going? Why don't you stay and sit with us for a while?"
