"Young lady, in another day, we'll reach the waters near Sea God Island," the pirate leader said, standing beside Zhang Lexuan. "But I can't actually take you onto the island. I can only stop nearby, and you'll have to go the rest of the way yourself. There are many powerful sea soul beasts in the waters around Sea God Island. Any ship approaching will inevitably be attacked. Besides, I wouldn't dare offend the Sea God's majesty."
Zhang Lexuan glanced at the pirate leader and nodded. "Nearby will do. As long as I can see Sea God Island, your task is complete."
The past two days of sailing had gone very smoothly. Along the way, the pirate leader had carefully explained the territories of the various sea soul beasts they would pass.
They had to detour around the territory of any sea soul beast over ten thousand years old. Although the pirate leader's Soul Emperor strength was enough to handle ordinary ten-thousand-year sea soul beasts, his ship could not. Even the sturdiest ship could not withstand a powerful sea soul beast's attacks.
According to the pirate leader, no one could possibly know how many sea soul beasts lived in the ocean. Thanks to the blessings of Sea God Tang San, who had ascended to godhood ten thousand years ago, sea soul beasts were now even stronger than they had been back then, and there were more hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. There simply were no longer any sea soul beast emperors like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, whose cultivation had approached a million years.
