Encountering a Soul Beast in Need; Rescuing the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor

Li Changsheng finished speaking and was just about to turn and head back to his cabin when he suddenly glanced at the sea.

"Oh, look, this little guy isn't running away, and it's come swimming over here. Interesting." Li Changsheng said playfully.

On the turbulent sea, a huge head suddenly appeared, its two eyes like lanterns, strikingly visible in the pitch-black night.

However, this Soul Beast didn't continue its attack, but stared straight at the Zhenzhu Hao, and more precisely, at Li Changsheng at the bow of the ship.

Li Changsheng's spiritual power surged, reaching out towards the Soul Beast. Once he got a clear look, he realized it was a Dragon Soul Beast, incredibly close to a level of 100,000.

Yet, despite Li Changsheng unleashing tremendous pressure to intimidate the sea dragon Soul Beast, it didn't leave. It just stared blankly at Li Changsheng.

Just as Li Changsheng felt puzzled, a childish voice suddenly came from within.

"Soul Master big brother, save my mother, please save my mother!"

Li Changsheng froze when he heard the voice, then realized that this Soul Beast was actually asking him for help. He transmitted his Soul Power and asked, "Little guy, what happened?"

Hearing Li Changsheng's reply, the Dragon Soul Beast told him its story.

Its mother was a 700,000-level Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor who had recently obtained a drop of True Dragon Essence. Furthermore, this news had somehow been discovered by a million-level Soul Beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and this morning, its mother was suddenly attacked by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Although its mother reacted quickly and engaged the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in a life-and-death battle, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was ultimately a million-level Soul Beast, far stronger than the seventy-thousand-level Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor. After a brief exchange, its mother was injured. Knowing she was no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, she secretly entrusted the True Dragon Essence to it, telling it to immediately leave and head in a specific direction, without looking back.

Then she attacked the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, distracting it and buying it more time to escape. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's target was the True Dragon Essence, so it didn't pay attention to it, assuming the essence was still on the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor. This allowed it to escape with its life.

Earlier, it had been hiding in the deep sea, and when it saw Li Changsheng's ship, it wanted to drive them away. But after being intimidated by Li Changsheng, it found his pressure to be no greater than that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and it sensed a hint of auspiciousness on Li Changsheng, so it bravely sought his help.

Hearing the whole story, Li Changsheng heard a trace of auspiciousness on it, and a golden puppy suddenly appeared in his mind – the Three-Eyed Golden Puppy. It seemed he'd spent too much time with it, and it had picked up a bit of the Auspicious Beast's aura.

Realizing this, Li Changsheng didn't help it directly, as he would have thought, but instead mocked, "I'm not afraid of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but why should I help you? Provoking it for no reason isn't a good thing at all, it's all harm and no benefit."

The Dragon Soul Beast quickly replied, "Woo, if you can save my mother, I'll be your beast forever, I'll do whatever you want me to do. Even if it means sacrificing myself, please, save my mother!"

Hearing this, Li Changsheng realized he had gotten carried away, and then feigned reluctance.

"Alright, alright, I'll help you." After saying that, Li Changsheng leaped onto the Dragon Soul Beast's head and turned to Ye Han Yue, shouting, "Han Yue, Master is going and coming back, we'll meet up on that island."

Then he rode the Dragon Soul Beast, slowly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"By the way, what's your name? Little guy," Li Changsheng suddenly asked the Dragon Soul Beast on the way.

"I'm called Ali, my mother gave me that name."

"Soul Master big brother, do you think my parents will be alright? I only have my parents left now."

"Woo…"

…………

The next morning.

The sea was calm, but the surrounding area was eerily so. There were no flying Soul Beasts in the sky, nor in the sea. Suddenly, two Soul Beasts rapidly approached from the distance, chasing each other one after the other. The two Soul Beasts radiated terrifying auras, but the whale-type Soul Beast in the rear was even more terrifying and powerful.

"Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor, give up! Hand over the essence, and maybe I'll spare you, even take you as a concubine." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King laughed.

"You bastard, Deep Sea Demon Whale King, dream on! I'd rather die than give you the True Dragon Essence! I've already hidden it, you'll never find it. You're guilty of countless crimes, you've devoured so many sea Soul Beasts, you'll get your comeuppance!" roared the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor in anger.

"Hmph, stubborn." Suddenly, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King gathered energy in its mouth and fired a terrifying energy beam at the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor, injuring it severely.

"I'll give you one last chance, tell me where you've hidden the True Dragon Essence, or I'll devour you, leaving you utterly destroyed, and then I'll hunt down that little Soul Beast that escaped yesterday." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King said, looking at the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor.

"Don't even think about it, I'll never tell you the location where it's precisely hidden." The Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor said angrily.

"Then you deserve to die." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King gathered energy again, preparing to attack the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor.

Watching the Deep Sea Demon Whale King gather energy to attack him, the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor felt a chill in his heart. "Ali, if anything happens to your parents, you must take care of yourself. Take the True Dragon Essence and leave this place far behind. Live well, and don't even think about seeking revenge for me."

Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finished gathering energy and was about to launch the energy beam at the Azure Sea Demon Dragon Emperor, a powerful sword energy suddenly slashed through the air.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King could only reluctantly redirect its attack.

"Bang!"

The sword energy collided with the energy beam, creating a huge explosion.

"Who dares to disrupt my good deed!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared angrily.

"Me!" Li Changsheng, riding on Ali, slowly approached.

"Human, I advise you not to interfere in this matter." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, looking at Li Changsheng, who showed no aura, didn't relax its vigilance based on the powerful sword energy it had sensed earlier. It was just intimidating him, hoping he would leave.

"Sigh, big fish, I don't want to interfere, but who could have predicted that I promised this little guy? You know, a person can't go back on their word, right?"

"Oh right, you're not a person, you're a Soul Beast."

Li Changsheng ignored the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's intimidation and teased it instead.

"Impudent!"
