Bo Saixi's Unwillingness to Give Up
At a depth of 5,000 meters, the water pressure is already terrifying, and there are very few creatures that can survive there, with humans almost extinct.
And those who can silently sneak into Lin Xuan's perception range are even fewer.
Lin Xuan guessed who it was almost instantly. Although he was surprised, he was not unexpected.
"Senior Bo Saixi."
Looking at the woman in the long, flowing dress, Lin Xuan stepped forward and calmly greeted her.
Bo Saixi's long dress seemed to be woven from the purest coral and seaweed of the deep sea. The hem swayed gently with the current, and she was surrounded by a faint blue light, blending into the deep-sea environment, yet carrying an indescribable sense of sacredness.
Surrounded by a layer of blue water ripples, it easily withstood the powerful water pressure of the deep sea.
When Bo Saixi saw Lin Xuan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Previously, when Di Tian fought the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in the distant sea, although she sensed the earth-shattering fluctuations, she did not go to investigate because of her duty to protect Sea God Island.
This expedition was originally to fulfill the duties of the High Priestess, to patrol the ocean on behalf of the Sea God, and to maintain order in the sea.
In the past, when she patrolled the Demonic Whale Sea Area, even though she and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King kept to themselves, she could still clearly feel the terrifying aura that lingered there.
This time, however, the entire sea area was unusually quiet, with no trace of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Out of a sense of responsibility and curiosity, Bo Saixi dived into the ocean.
In the ocean, she was confident that her strength was no less than that of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Upon deeper exploration, it was discovered that the aura of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was dissipating at a visible rate in this area, and soon it might be impossible to detect even a trace of it.
By chance, she sensed a faint yet unique fluctuation of Soul Power. Following her senses, she found herself encountering Lin Xuan in the deep sea.
Bo Saixi had mixed feelings about Lin Xuan.
He is the chosen successor of the Sea God, and should be respected by reason of him.
But the thought of perhaps having to Sacrifice for him in order to help him achieve the position of Sea God filled her with an overwhelming sense of resentment.
It is a deep attachment to life, and even more so, a steadfast dedication to protecting Sea God Island for countless years.
She was also worried about her beloved, and she wanted to rekindle her romance with Tang Chen. Before that, she didn't want to die.
"Young friend Lin Xuan, what brings you to this place?"
Bo Saixi spoke first, her voice like the tides of the deep sea, gentle yet authoritative.
"Let's find some Sinking Silver."
Lin Xuan said frankly.
"Sinking Silver!?"
Bo Saixi looked around at his surroundings, a knowing glint in his eyes.
"Young friend Lin Xuan, do you know what exactly happened here?"
Bo Saixi also intended to ask whether or not someone had a club.
After all, she didn't think Lin Xuan would know anything about the Demonic Whale Sea Area.
"Condition?
Are you talking about the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?
Lin Xuan looked at Bo Saixi and seemed to understand something.
"That's right. In the past, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would only stay for a maximum of two months before returning to the Demonic Whale Sea Area."
But now he has been missing for almost half a year.
Even the seawater in this area that was affected by him is gradually recovering.
As the Sea God's High Priestess, I must find out exactly what's going on.
Bo Saixi's eyes were filled with devout faith in the Sea God as he spoke.
But Lin Xuan's words the next second stunned her.
"He died. He fought an 800,000-year-old True Dragon in his attempt to break through to the next level, and then he was killed."
"Now we might have already become someone else's prey."
Lin Xuan spoke casually, yet Bo Saixi's pupils dilated in disbelief.
It should be noted that although the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is not as powerful as the Sea God, it is still a terrifying being with 990,000 years of cultivation.
Her strength is no less than hers.
But now he's dead!
Moreover, he was killed by another Soul Beast.
Just how powerful must that other Soul Beast be?
And how did Lin Xuan find out about this?
Bo Saixi's mind went blank for a moment, filled with many questions he wanted to ask.
But looking into Lin Xuan's calm eyes, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
In a sense, Lin Xuan was practically her master, so she had no right to ask him any questions.
Lin Xuan clearly wasn't planning on explaining further, so it would be impolite for her to ask any more questions.
Taking a deep breath, Bo Saixi suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and her expression regained some calm.
"I see...
I wonder how there could have been such terrifying battle fluctuations that time, which could be detected even from so far across the sea.
"I never imagined that the 990,000-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would perish at the hands of a True Dragon with 800,000 years of cultivation."
After a brief silence, she looked at Lin Xuan, her tone somewhat solemn.
"It is rather unreasonable that young friend Lin Xuan, who is the Sea God Inheritance, has never set foot on Sea God Island."
Why don't you come with me to Sea God Island for a few days?
"This way, the people on the island will get to know you, so they won't accidentally slight you if we meet again."
The invitation was perfectly reasonable, and Lin Xuan had no right to refuse it, neither morally nor logically.
But Lin Xuan was somewhat troubled.
Others may not know, but he himself knows.
While his status as the "successor of the Sea God" was true, he was not Poseidon's heir.
We cannot afford any mistakes at this time.
Let's go to Sea God Island!
What if we give ourselves away?
His mind raced, and one excuse after another flashed through his mind. Finally, his gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing, and an idea suddenly came to him.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior, but it's really unfortunate."
Lin Xuan said apologetically.
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is about to begin, and I plan to take the two of them there to see what it's like."
This grand gathering of young Soul Master may be beneficial to their growth.
Moreover, one of my female companions has a troublesome matter to resolve.
"We can't leave the mainland for the time being."
He paused, then added.
"Moreover, my God Trial has not yet begun."
"In a few years, when I officially begin my God Trial, I will definitely visit the Senior on Sea God Island in person. It won't be too late to bother you then."
This reason is reasonable, explaining both the excuse and the clear follow-up commitment.
Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Bo Saixi's eyes.
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is indeed a grand event for young Soul Master, and it's understandable that Lin Xuan, with his youthful spirit, wanted to watch it.
Moreover, the girl in black does indeed have some trouble that needs to be resolved.
Although she lived on Sea God Island for many years, she still had some understanding of the situation on the mainland.
For example, she only needed to glance at Zhu Zhuqing's background to roughly deduce some things about it.
Although she had regrets, she couldn't force the issue.
"If that's the case, then I won't force you."
Bo Saixi nodded slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but his tone remained gentle.
"Then come back after you've taken care of everything."
The inhabitants of Sea God Island will always welcome you.
As Bo Saixi spoke, he turned his gaze to Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing.
"You too, although the Sea God God's God Trial is gone, there are still other tests."
If you come, with your talent, you might be able to get a good assessment.
"Perhaps I'll also receive the Sea God's reward then."
Bo Saixi still hasn't given up on his original plan.
Especially after meeting Lin Xuan here, the sense of urgency in his heart became even stronger.
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior."
Lin Xuan bowed and thanked him, but didn't respond at all. He would go to Sea God Island, but not now, and certainly not in the next few years.
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing also quickly expressed their gratitude.
As for whether or not to go to Sea God Island, that's not up to them.
Bo Saixi gave him a deep look, then glanced at Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing who were standing quietly to the side, before turning away.
With a gentle sway of her long, flowing dress in the water, her silhouette, like a pale blue streak of light, slowly disappeared into the deep sea.
After Bo Saixi left, Lin Xuan's previously calm expression instantly turned somewhat gloomy.
This time, Bo Saixi hasn't given up!
