Early that morning, on Soul Beast Island, Mo Lin sat alone on the beach, staring into the distance and lost in thought, a trace of anxiety visible on his face.
There were only two things that could make Mo Lin so contemplative and anxious now.
The first was the whereabouts of Baxia and the Holy Hall Orca Clan. Over the past month, the Spirit Dolphin Clan had failed to bring him any sufficiently substantial news. His group of marine subordinates remained completely unheard from.
The second was Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King. Mo Lin still needed to treat the injuries to her soul.
The last time he treated Gu Yuena's injuries before taking his people to Slaughter City, Mo Lin had told her that he would be taking people to the inheritance site of a god with God King-level strength.
Before Gu Yuena could fly into a rage, he had clearly explained to her what it meant to "weaken one side while strengthening the other," and what it meant to "wear someone else's shoes so they have nowhere left to go."
He explained how his actions would directly deprive the God Realm of one top-tier combatant, while also rendering the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms—a skill that could potentially threaten both Mo Lin and the Silver Dragon King—completely useless.
Only then did he barely manage to keep Gu Yuena from being overwhelmed by rage and hatred.
Yet even with Mo Lin's explanation, Gu Yuena still would not—and could not—appear at any divine inheritance site. She did not wish to, and it was also necessary to prevent her from being discovered. Thus, he could only treat her injuries while he was away with the children.
Today was the thirty-first day since Mo Lin had brought his students out.
