The reason Mo Lin had not immediately sought out some intelligent sea soul beasts for questioning was twofold. First, he had overestimated his own abilities. Second, it was genuinely difficult to find sea soul beasts over ten thousand years old in the near-sea region. The Evil Spirit Orca clan had been slaughtering freely throughout this area, while the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan killed large numbers of sea soul beasts whenever they hunted.
