"Our Sun Moon Empire did send a fleet into those waters. Like Star Luo, we were stopped at the edge of the Nether Sea."
Jing Hongchen gave a measured answer. He said neither too much nor too little, quickly summarizing their situation.
It was the truth. The Soul Power fluctuations had frightened them off before they even reached the Nether Sea. Unlike the forces from the Douluo Continent, they had never ventured inside. Their fighting strength had been limited at the time.
"Your empire must have gathered quite a bit of information, though. What about the voice that can beguile Soul Masters?" Xian Lin'er asked.
She remembered that someone in Mingde Hall had been researching Soul Tools for recording information. They must have a record of that voice.
"We do. But all we could do was record it. There was nothing unusual about its Soul Power fluctuations. It was probably an ordinary charm-type Soul Skill... though it could also have been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Soul Skill."
Jing Hongchen's voice was grave. Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were rare enough, yet now one might be a problem they all had to face.
