In just over a week, Ji Siyuan's health has recovered quite well.
They arrived at the chosen ambush location.
Du Busi blasted a pool of water, allowing the Sea Princess to hide inside.
The mermaid princess led Ji Siyuan and Huo Yutong to negotiate.
"What an amazing Simulation! I wouldn't have noticed your special abilities if I hadn't paid close attention."
Huo Yutong used Simulation to help her and Ji Siyuan disguise themselves as mermaid soldiers. Even with the Divine Power of Sea Princess, it was impossible for her to recognize the real from the fake at a glance.
They arrived at an area near the ambush site, a completely open area with no mountains or water.
"This is the location they chose." The mermaid princess glanced around. "They really have ulterior motives."
Without water flow, the combat power of the Sea Soul Beast is greatly reduced, which is a minor issue.
"Luckily, we weren't really here to negotiate." The mermaid princess was also relieved. Fortunately, someone helped her, otherwise she and her mother would never have been able to rescue Liya.
"Watch out, they're here!" Tang San warned, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also alerted Huo Yutong.
Having learned from Electrolux's experience, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress weren't too surprised or suspicious about the spirit behind Ji Siyuan; they were simply curious about what kind of deity it was.
A chilling aura filled the surrounding area, and a figure slowly landed. "I didn't expect you to actually dare to come. Another princess of the Mermaid Clan!"
As the voice faded, it was revealed that the newcomer possessed nine Soul Ring, and he had brought along several weaker Evil Soul Master.
"Who exactly are you?" the mermaid princess demanded, suppressing her anger.
The newcomer waved the flag in his hand. "The Five Elders of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Myriad Souls Douluo!"
"Despicable human, state your terms! What will it take to release my sister?" The mermaid princess began negotiating as planned, while also preparing to escape.
"Release your sister?" The Myriad Souls Douluo laughed loudly, "Are you dreaming? A 100,000-year-old soul, and it's Mental Attribute, plus thousands of Sea Soul Beast, and you want me to release them? What price can you offer me? A new Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was waved, and a mermaid swam out from it, her face streaked with tears, surrounded by thousands of Sea Soul Beast. Those Sea Soul Beast continued to protect their princess.
The mermaid swam slowly; she was no longer an ordinary soul, but Wraith. Her mournful song was beautiful and melodious, but it only fueled her rage.
" Liya! You despicable human, what have you done to my sister?"
Myriad Souls Douluo: "What did you do? Can't you see? What a fine soul! Now it has become the main soul of my Ten Thousand Souls Banner, ruling over Ten Thousand Souls, its resentment soaring to the heavens. This is the best place for it."
Huo Yutong grabbed Ji Siyuan, her heart filled with rage.
"Tens of thousands of souls, how many lives has he slaughtered?" The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was waved, and what appeared was not only Liya and her Sea Soul Beast, but also countless other Wraith!
"Evil methods, this kind of magic doesn't deserve to be called Necromancy at all; it's blasphemy." This is clearly a perspective from the viewpoint of a descendant of Electrolux.
Tang San felt even more hatred. Although he was no longer the Sea God, nor the Sea God of this world, he was unwilling to see the Sea Soul Beast being bullied like this.
"A certain amount of killing is understandable in order to promote growth, but such behavior has already incurred the wrath of both heaven and man."
"This person has already found a way to die!"
Ji Siyuan nodded. "He won't live past today."
Their killing intent was even purer than that of the Ten Thousand Souls.
Seeing that the three mermaids were only angry but didn't move, Myriad Souls Douluo laughed wildly, "You didn't think I released them just to show you how miserable this mermaid is now, did you?"
"I already thought you were stupid enough to come and negotiate with me, but I didn't expect you to be this stupid, letting me do whatever I want with you."
"Since you're here, then keep your good sister company. Let my Ten Thousand Souls Banner also have a new 100,000-year soul. Eighth Soul Skill, Myriad Souls Domain."
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner fluttered without wind, transforming the surrounding area into Gui Mei realm, from which countless Wraith surged forth.
"If it were any other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I would absolutely not dare to make a move. But you are Sea Soul Beast, and once you leave the sea, your combat strength cannot possibly be stronger than mine." Ten Thousand Souls added with a hint of mockery, "Besides, your sister is also here."
The mournful song echoed throughout the Myriad Souls Domain, like a lament, bringing tears to the eyes. The Wraith Liya's power may not be as great as her sister's, but she was controlled by the Ten Thousand Souls and could sing without regard for her Life.
"Feel the mental suppression of another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
The singing came in waves, one after another.
He fantasized that with two 100,000-year-old Wraith and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in his possession, he would surely become Super Douluo in the future. The ranking of the Holy Spirit Cult elders would also change as a result. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he looked at the "three mermaids" with delight.
It's possible to imagine that the initial scene of the "three mermaids" suffering terribly never happened, as if Liya's singing had absolutely no effect on them.
"How is that possible? We've both lived for 100,000 years, but you're not your mother!" Ten Thousand Souls exclaimed in astonishment, looking around to confirm that the Sea Princess was not there.
This was not the power of the mermaid princess, but Huo Yutong's Soul-Cleansing Mirror Lake.
The area covered by the Soul-Cleansing Mirror Lake is much smaller than that of the Myriad Souls Domain, but within the Soul-Cleansing Mirror Lake, they can ignore Liya's singing.
"You guys go! I'll suppress their Divine Power." Ten Thousand Souls didn't risk his life, but instead sent the Evil Soul Master he had brought with him to take action.
"It's the elders." Several Evil Soul Master' faces turned fierce. "We never thought we could fight against Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
The Evil Soul Master who awaken their Martial Soul, all with seven rings, are all Evil Soul Master at the Soul Sage level.
The mermaid princess was somewhat flustered. She clearly remembered that Ji Siyuan and his companions were Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. According to the plan, after being seriously injured, it would be the two of them who would face the attack of the Evil Soul Master.
"Are you even capable of handling this? Why don't we just cancel our order?"
Ji Siyuan immediately refused. "You need to act convincingly. Remember to pretend to be seriously injured later."
The Soul Ring on Myriad Souls Douluo's body lit up, and dozens of Wraith broke away from the group, grew even larger, and then rushed towards them.
The mermaid princess immediately used her Divine Power to shatter the Wraith, and a piece of coral appeared in her hand.
He met the attacking Soul Sage head-on with a single strike, causing the Battle Soul Saint to cough up blood.
Instead of being angry, Ten Thousand Souls laughed, "They are stronger than the one I captured. You won't escape!"
Liya's singing grew even more mournful, her eyes seemingly bleeding. She had become Wraith, controlled but still retaining her own thoughts and perceptions, and her grief intensified upon seeing her sister harmed. This grief, however, became a weapon for the Evil Soul Master.
More vengeful spirits rushed towards the Mermaid Princess, and with Liya's enhancement, they "broke through" the Mermaid Princess's defenses.
The area unaffected by Liya's singing disappeared, and the mermaid princess's aura instantly crumbled.
A Wraith's attack pierced through the mermaid's defenses, and her scales fell off.
"Run!" the mermaid princess cried urgently, fleeing towards the ocean.
A look of wild joy flashed in Ten Thousand Souls's eyes. "This time I'm going to have two 100,000-year-old Wraith!"
"Do you need my help? I just want that 100,000-year-old Soul Bone."
Upon hearing this voice, Ten Thousand Souls's expression changed. "My lord, we had an agreement. You would absorb the flesh and Soul Ring. If your assistance is needed, then the Soul Bone will be yours."
"Hmph, it's only because I can devour Soul Ring that you're even worthy of competing with me for Soul Bone when it comes to sharing the spoils?"
"Yes, yes, you said so. That kid took his men and gave chase first."
