Sea God's Mount, Xiao Bai!

"Your Sea God Your Majesty, you've returned?!"

Sea Dragon Douluo and the others exclaimed in surprise, their previously anxious hearts finally settling down. Immediately, they all knelt on one knee, just like the three Yellow-Clad Soul Masters from before, and respectfully bowed to Bo Saixi.

"Sea God... Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, the three Yellow-Clad Soul Master exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment.

It should be noted that although Sea God Island appears peaceful, it is actually strictly hierarchical; otherwise, it would not have come up with the unusual method of distinguishing Soul Master levels by the color of their clothing.

Under such circumstances, lower-level Soul Master dare not address higher-level Soul Master with any carelessness, and they hold the Sea God in even greater awe, never daring to overstep their bounds in any way.

Although Bo Saixi was a high High Priestess, he was ultimately just a servant of the Sea God.

But now, the seven Saint Pillar Guardian, including the Sea Dragon Douluo, openly address the High Priestess Bo Saixi as His Sea God Your Majesty. This is clearly a rebellion against the Sea God and a desecration of the divine authority!

Bo Saixi went even further; she didn't refuse the title of "Your Sea God Your Majesty," but accepted it readily and even smiled.

According to the rules of Sea God Island, the three Yellow-Clad Soul Master should immediately shout and curse these blasphemous fellows.

However, after much deliberation, they still knelt down with Sea Dragon Douluo and the others, not daring to even raise their heads.

After all, they were just low-level Yellow-Clad Soul Master, their voices carried little weight, and their lives were the most important thing.

As for the High Priestess Bo Saixi's usurpation of the Sea God Your Majesty... they could only pretend not to know and dared not ask!

"Get up, everyone."

With a wave of her hand, Bo Saixi's gentle divine power immediately lifted the kneeling people to their feet. She then looked at the Seahorse Douluo among the seven Saint Pillar Guardian and said softly, "I will accompany Palace Master Zhou on a tour of Sea God Island. Oya, let's begin our tour of your Seahorse City today."

"Yes, ma'am."

Seahorse Douluo Ouya nodded, and without saying a word, a rich blue light shone from Ouya's hand, and then he gently waved it.

In an instant, a strange scene unfolded!

Suddenly, the seawater surged up and condensed in mid-air, instantly transforming into a crystal-clear, azure bridge leading to Seahorse City.

"Your Sea God Your Majesty, Palace Master Zhou, please."

Seahorse Douluo extended a respectful invitation.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen did not act arrogantly, but instead returned the greeting to Seahorse Douluo, saying, "You're too kind."

Zhou Chen and Bo Saixi walked side by side across the bridge formed by the sea, chatting and enjoying the scenery along the way.

Sea Dragon Douluo and the others followed respectfully behind.

Soon, the group stepped ashore, and many Yellow-Clad Soul Master immediately came to greet them.

These Yellow-Clad Soul Master stood respectfully on both sides, forming a ceremonial guard that looked quite imposing.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the group finally arrived at a city.

This is a small town with low walls. Standing on a slightly higher hill, you can see the town clearly at a glance.

How small is this city? It's not even as big as Notting City, where Zhou Chen lived as a child! It's basically the size of a small town.

However, although the city is small in size, it is quite complete in all aspects, and the buildings within it are exquisite. The most obvious feature is a tall building.

This tall building is constructed entirely of stone and looks quite exquisite, resembling a castle. At the top of the building, there is also a huge Sea Horse statue.

"That stone carving of the Sea Horse is quite lifelike."

Zhou Chen gave a polite compliment, and Seahorse Douluo Ou Ya immediately walked over and landed half a foot behind Zhou Chen and Poseidon, respectfully saying, "Seagod Island has a total of seven cities, each guarded by one of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos. This is Seahorse City. The building you see is the City Lord's Mansion."

"Oh, how many residents does Seahorse City have?"

Zhou Chen asked a question that seemed simple but was actually quite profound.

Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo Ouya immediately replied, "This city is inhabited by more than a thousand people, all of whom are His Majesty the Sea God's most loyal followers, and almost all of them are Sea Soul Masters."

"Huh? Wait a minute, doesn't your Sea God Hall only have three thousand Sea Soul Master? How come there are over a thousand in Seahorse City alone?"

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What about the other cities? Are they deserted?"

"That's not the case."

Seahorse Douluo carefully considered his words before speaking in a detailed manner, "The widely circulated rumor of the three thousand Sea Soul Master of the Sea God Hall refers to the three thousand five hundred Sea God Warriors organized by the Sea God Hall. Each of the seven major cities is guarded by five hundred Soul Master."

"However, Sea God warriors can retire and enjoy their old age after they reach the age of seventy, and minors and children who have not yet passed the test are not counted in the Sea God Hall's establishment. Therefore, the actual population of each city is over a thousand people."

After a pause, Seahorse Douluo continued, "Seahorse City has a relatively small population. Sea Dragon City, the largest and most populous city, already has over two thousand residents."

"I see."

On the surface, Zhou Chen appeared calm and collected, but in his heart he was secretly filled with dread.

According to Seahorse Douluo, almost all the residents of Sea God Island are Sea Soul Master. There are probably more than 10,000 Sea Soul Master in the seven cities combined!

Ten thousand Soul Master wouldn't have been much in the past; they couldn't make a ripple in the face of the massive Spirit Hall and the two great empires.

However, in the Battle of Jialing Pass three months ago, all five Soul Master Legions of the Spirit Hall were decimated, suffering more than half of their losses, a truly devastating defeat.

Meanwhile, the Soul Master of the Heaven Dou Empire also suffered considerable losses.

Therefore, even after the Battle of Jialing Pass, the 10,000 Sea Soul Master, whose combat power on land had been greatly reduced, were still a powerful force capable of influencing the course of the war!

Thinking this through, Zhou Chen secretly made up his mind that even if it was just for the sake of these 10,000 Sea Soul Master, he had to win over Sea God Island!

"Your Sea God Your Majesty, Palace Master Zhou, we have arrived at the city gate."

The respectful voice of Seahorse Douluo rang out, and Zhou Chen came back to his senses. Looking at the city gate in front of him, which was not very grand, he couldn't help but sigh that this was indeed a small city.

Two rows of Soul Master dressed in yellow stood before the city gate. Upon seeing the High Priestess and the seven Saint Pillar Guardian Douluo appear, these Yellow-Clad Soul Master immediately knelt on one knee, their expressions respectful and awe-inspiring.

Upon entering Seahorse City, Bo Saixi and Zhou Chen's group immediately attracted the attention of the residents.

Upon seeing that the visitor was actually the High Priestess, the city's residents immediately knelt down one after another, murmuring blessings such as "May the Sea God protect us" and "May the High Priestess protect us," appearing extremely devout.

Because the city was too small, the group quickly arrived in front of the city lord's mansion.

Besides Seahorse Douluo Ouya, there were also more than ten Sea Soul Masters dressed in purple robes living in the City Lord's Mansion.

These purple-clad Soul Master were all Soul Saint or Soul Douluo, representing the high-end strength within the Sea God Hall.

Upon hearing that the High Priestess had arrived, these purple-robed Soul Master had already been waiting at the entrance of the mansion, standing respectfully to one side.

Just then, a tall girl in white suddenly jumped out from behind the group of purple-clad Soul Master and appeared in front of Bo Saixi and Zhou Chen.

The girl was pretty with a high nose bridge. Her face had some angles, but it didn't look out of place; instead, it gave her a captivating exotic charm.

Her legs were long and slender, and a white leather outfit clung tightly to her body, outlining her perfect figure. She also had long, gray-blue hair that reached her ankles, gray-blue eyes, and fair skin that also had a faint gray-blue sheen.

This appearance doesn't even look human!

What human skin has a grayish-blue sheen?

Zhou Chen suddenly felt an urge to make a hand seal and shout, "Hey! You audacious monster, I can tell you're not human at first glance! Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

"Bo Saixi, how come you suddenly have the Sea God Trident mark of Sea God Your Majesty on your forehead, a mark usually reserved for the God of the Sea?"

A clear, delicate voice rang out, and a white-clad girl who looked somewhat inhuman stared intently at Bo Saixi, her gray-blue eyes flashing continuously.

"How dare you, Xiao Bai! You don't even bow before His Sea God Your Majesty?"

The Sea Dragon Douluo finally found a chance to show his face, and quickly stepped forward, coldly shouting.

"Your Sea God Your Majesty?"

The girl called Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then asked blankly, "What's going on? Bo Saixi, when did you become the Sea God? You're the High Priestess, aren't you supposed to be barred from becoming a god?"

"And what about the former Sea God, Poseidon? I, the clan leader, was Poseidon's mount for a very long time. The name 'Xiao Bai' was even given to me by Poseidon!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi stammered and couldn't answer. The naive girl didn't know how to respond to Xiao Bai's question.

You can't just say that Palace Master Zhou killed the successor to the Sea God, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and then she swallowed the God Pill, ascended to the divine position, and even beat up the former Sea God Poseidon!

Seeing Bo Saixi's embarrassed expression, Zhou Chen had no choice but to stand in front of her and look at the girl in white.

As soon as Zhou Chen heard the Sea Dragon Douluo call out the name "Xiao Bai," he immediately knew who the girl in white was.

In the original storyline, there is a guardian beast on Sea God Island, who is the patriarch of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark Clan, and is the white-clad girl in front of you, Xiao Bai.

This Xiao Bai creature has a very impressive background, because she was once the mount of the former Sea God Poseidon before she became a god, and she was a Sea Soul Beast that was over 100,000 years old.

Originally, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, except for those who directly transform into humans like Xiao Wu, cannot take human form. For example, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are still in beast form.

However, some Sea Soul Beast of certain fish are special. When they cultivate to the level of 100,000 years, they will directly transform into humans when they come ashore.

Of course, this doesn't come without a price.

The price of becoming human is that the Soul Beast's strength will be reduced by 30%, and if it does not return to the sea for more than an hour, its body will gradually weaken and may even die.

Looking at the girl in white before him, Zhou Chen adjusted his expression and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao Bai, it's like this. The former Sea God Poseidon has abdicated and left the Divine Realm to travel to the stars. Before leaving, Poseidon was moved by the High Priestess's loyalty and, since there was no suitable successor at the moment, he exceptionally passed on the position of Sea God Godhood to the High Priestess."

Upon hearing this, all seven Saint Pillar Guardian Douluo, including Sea Dragon Douluo, wore complex expressions. The Sea Witch Douluo, who was less shrewd, almost burst out laughing.

They knew very well how High Priestess had attained Bo Saixi divine position!

"Oh, is that so!"

Xiao Bai nodded blankly, accepting the absurd explanation, and stopped asking questions.

Seeing that Xiao Bai actually believed him so easily, Zhou Chen was also a little dumbfounded. He had originally prepared a long speech, but now it seemed unnecessary.

From this perspective, this Xiao Bai doesn't seem to be very smart!

Well, it's better not to be too smart! Overly intelligent creatures are often difficult to deal with.

Just as Zhou Chen was pondering how to appease the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Bo Saixi suddenly stepped forward and said softly, "Xiao Bai, don't you usually prefer to stay in the sea? Why have you suddenly come ashore?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and frowned slightly as she said, "It's like this, the fleet that went out to buy goods from Sea God Island was sunk by Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Group. When our Demon Spirit Great White Shark Clan arrived, it was too late, and we only managed to save some Soul Master who had not yet perished."

"What?"

Bo Saixi was instantly enraged. She coldly said, "This Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Clan has gone too far! They're courting death!"

"Your Sea God Your Majesty, please allow me to lead men to wipe out the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Group that dared to attack the fleet from Sea God Island!"

The Sea Lance Douluo, known for his bloodthirstiness, stepped forward and spoke with murderous intent.

"You are no match for them."

Bo Saixi glanced at Sea Lance Douluo, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, and said.

Such direct words left Sea Lance Douluo speechless, and he could only retreat dejectedly.

At this moment, Zhou Chen suddenly interjected, "Aren't the Soul Master of Sea God Island supposed to be forbidden from leaving the Sea God Island? How come there are fleets going out to trade?"

Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo immediately whispered, "Palace Master Zhou, it's like this. Our Sea Soul Master here are basically self-sufficient in terms of food. However, we still need some daily necessities, such as utensils, cookware, and clothing, etc. These are purchased by the fleet that goes out of the Sea God Island and traded with the nearest coastal cities."

"As for the fleet of Sea God Island, it is not composed of Sea God Island's Sea Soul Master. Rather, it is a spontaneously formed group of Sea Soul Master who do not belong to Sea God Island, or Sea Soul Master who have failed the Sea God Hall's test."

"Oh, I see. I understand. You can continue discussing how to deal with that Evil Spirit Tiger Whale clan."

Zhou Chen nodded knowingly, then said calmly.

"The Evil Spirit Tiger Whale is not so easy to deal with."

Xiao Bai rolled her eyes and said indignantly, "The Evil Spirit Tiger Whale is ferocious by nature. Apart from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the Demon Whale Sea Area, which can intimidate them, these bastards have always run rampant in the ocean."

Seeing Xiao Bai's angry expression, Zhou Chen slowly said, "Xiao Bai, judging from your tone, it seems the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Clan has a grudge against you?"

"How did you know?"

Xiao Bai's expression showed a moment of confusion, then turned to gritted teeth as he said, "My younger brother died at the hands of the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Clan Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King clan!"
