Yu Longyue gently turned off his phone screen, not wanting to disturb Gu Yue.
His gaze followed the distant horizon, but his mind began to make plans.
An assassin at the Soul Saint level—this is no small matter.
Furthermore, they didn't specify whether they were Evil Soul Master or not. If they weren't Evil Soul Master, then who could they be?
The Spirit Pagoda?
Yu Longyue played with her phone, then set up a mental barrier around herself, and gently turned on her phone again to send a message.
Did we alert the enemy?
"Nothing for now. The target's motives are unclear, so we haven't dared to act rashly. It's difficult to determine whether he's friend or foe. Young Sect Master, should we secretly drag him away for interrogation?"
"Drag him out and interrogate him properly."
"Receive."
Yu Longyue sensed that someone outside her room had suddenly vanished.
The Soul Saint is indeed very strong.
But compared to Titled Douluo, they're far too weak.
"The target has been secured without alerting anyone."
After confirming that the assassin had been subdued, Yu Longyue relaxed slightly. His gaze continued to fall on the distant horizon, where the waves gently lapped against the ship, making a rhythmic lapping sound. The cool sea breeze of the night helped clear his mind.
Spirit Pagoda?
They probably wouldn't take such a big risk to deal with me, after all, I have the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind me, and I've always had a good relationship with the Spirit Pagoda.
Holy Spirit Cult?
This is more likely; they've always seen me as a thorn in their side, especially after I've repeatedly thwarted their plans.
If it was them, then this assassination is just the beginning, and there may be more actions to come.
It seems this journey across the Star Luo Continent is destined to be anything but peaceful.
It's just a pity that I'm already committed to going this time.
"How did the interrogation go?" he sent a message.
The other party replied, "The target is being stubborn and hasn't said anything."
"I don't care what means I use, as long as I can get him to talk, I need to know their purpose."
"Clear."
"My lord, we've tested them out. This time, they're all helpers from Shrek and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. We have almost no chance of getting close to Yu Longyue."
In the Far North, the Evil Soul Master who received the signal immediately came to report to the Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor took a deep breath and sent a message to the Darkness Emperor, who was also one of the two emperors.
"So, are you considering it?"
"I advise you not to do anything," the Darkness Emperor replied almost instantly. "Since Yu Longyue dared to travel so far, it means he definitely has powerful protectors guarding him. If you take any action, you'll be stepping into their trap."
"As a fellow Limit Douluo, I believe you already have the answer in your heart. When you're about to take action, doesn't your intuition tell you there's danger?"
The Ghost Emperor fell silent.
He's right. He did indeed feel a sense of impending doom, which is why he contacted the Darkness Emperor.
"Focus on awakening His Majesty the Demon Empress. Don't do anything else. As for that kid with the God Level Martial Soul... my advice is to leave him alone."
The Darkness Emperor couldn't help but offer a few words of advice.
"As you know, Yun Ming had the opportunity to ascend to the Divine Realm long ago, but he has remained on the Douluo Continent, which proves that there is a problem in the Divine Realm."
"In other words, even with problems in the Divine Realm, Douluo Star still produced a user of God Level Martial Soul. This kind of god -God Level Martial Soul only appeared 20,000 years ago, during the era when Tang San, Qian Renxue, and others became gods."
"When God Level Martial Soul appears, it must be protected by a god. I'm not joking with you. No matter how careful and perfect your plan is, you will never have any chance of killing him. Even if you and I attack together, there is absolutely no chance of taking him down."
"Just like how the previous Sea God Pavilion Master couldn't kill me, it's for a similar reason. The concept of luck is very mysterious. Whether you believe it or not, it will affect the final outcome. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I won't interfere with him anymore." The Ghost Emperor sighed.
"That's good."
The Darkness Emperor logged off. The Ghost Emperor pondered for a moment, then let out a cold snort.
"Will the gods protect us? Until His Majesty the Demon Empress awakens..."
"Young Sect Master, he self-destructed, without revealing any information."
Yu Longyue raised an eyebrow upon seeing this message.
"But according to the Sect Master's discovery, he possesses the aura of the Ghost Emperor... This is the most important reason why we have absolutely no way to prevent him from self-destructing. Fortunately, nothing happened; the Sect Master has managed to isolate him."
Ghost Emperor!
Yu Longyue's expression was solemn. As one of the two emperors of the Holy Spirit Cult, his terror was in no way inferior to that of the other Darkness Emperor.
The next second, his dad sent him a message.
"You can continue enjoying yourself. It's nothing serious. I checked, he's the only one on the entire ship. He probably came to test your defenses. They've probably given up now."
How did you know?
"When that person died, the aura belonging to the Ghost Emperor within him also vanished without a trace. I suspect some kind of binding technique was used, such as transmitting a message upon death, something like a curse. There was nothing I could do to stop it."
"That's good..."
Yu Longyue breathed a sigh of relief; now she could finally rest in peace.
The first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the glass railings of the balcony and fell upon Yu Longyue.
He lay on the deck chair, a thin blanket draped over him, and as the sea breeze gently caressed him, his consciousness gradually awoke from his dream.
His eyes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them, only to find that something had gently poked his cheek.
Yu Longyue turned his head in a daze and saw Gu Yue sitting next to him, her eyes smiling, her fingers gently poking his cheek.
At such close range, one could see the sunlight shining on Gu Yue's face, casting a golden halo over her delicate features.
Her long, flowing hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, a few strands fluttering gently in the breeze. She wore a simple white dress, exuding a fresh and refined air, and in the morning light, she appeared exceptionally elegant and beautiful.
"Good morning, did you sleep well?" Gu Yue's voice was gentle and slightly smiling.
Yu Longyue rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Good morning, I slept quite well, it's been a long time since I felt this way."
"Huh, why didn't my Soul Power increase by one level this time? I remember it did when we slept together last time."
A faint blush appeared on Gu Yue's pretty face, and she rolled her eyes at him:
Are Soul King and Soul Saint the same?
"So, you've become Soul Saint too? That's quite a change. I saw you were only Soul Emperor a few days ago before we set off." Yu Longyue glanced at Gu Yue with a smile.
"Didn't you ask me why my One-Word Battle Armor has the character 'Dragon' in it?"
Gu Yue raised her slender hand and brushed a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear.
"I went home and completed my Second Martial Soul Awakening. My Martial Soul was originally a dragon, a kind of scaleless dragon. Now my Martial Soul is Silver Dragon, which is also True Dragon Martial Soul."
Yu Longyue's lips twitched; she truly didn't want to be weaker than herself.
"You... you caught up pretty fast. But have you ever tested your Spiritual Power?"
"Around 40,000, I guess," Gu Yue said casually.
"Ah?"
He only has a little over 20,000.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power is only close to 30,000.
She's almost at the Divine Origin Realm!
This is quite normal, considering her true strength is that of First-Level God.
"I'm starting to doubt whether I can even beat you." Yu Longyue let out a long sigh. Surely I can't be defeated by a woman of equal strength?
Gu Yue stood up. "If you have the chance, give it a try. But it's hard to say, and I can't guarantee I can beat you."
Both of them are equally proud, so if they were to fight, there would definitely be a winner.
This battle might even determine my future status within the family.
Nothing dangerous happened thereafter. Since the Sect Master of the Body Sect Mu Ye, Mu Ye, was not present, there were no Sea Soul Beast attacking the ship, and they arrived at the Star Luo Continent smoothly.
Under the arrangement of the Star Luo Empire, they first rested for one night in a coastal city, and then directly boarded the Star Luo Empire's Soul Guidance Train to head to Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.
Furthermore, at the invitation of the Star Luo Empire, Cai Yue'er agreed to let them compete against the people of the Star Luo Empire. It is said that the prize for the champion is Soul Bone, which is quite tempting for the others to take action.
As for Yu Longyue, she wasn't particularly interested in this continent-wide elite youth high-level Soul Master Elite Tournament.
He was concerned with something else.
For example...
Yu Longyue, his face dark, looked at Tang Wulin was also sitting on the Soul Guidance Train with him.
He remembered one of Tang Wulin's character settings.
Every Soul Guidance Train that got involved with him ended up in a bad way.
"It's over, it's over. I'm on the same train as Tang Wulin, the assassin from the Soul Guidance Train. There's no escaping this trouble now."
Tang Wulin, sitting right behind Yu Longyue, was speechless.
" Brother Yue, all I've done is ride the Soul Guidance Train a few times, and each time I've encountered Evil Soul Master incident. That's why the Soul Guidance Train I ride never end well. How did I become Soul Guidance Train Killer? Maybe this time will be different?"
As soon as he spoke, he was met with a chorus of condemnation from the crowd:
"Shut up!"
Tang Wulin had no choice but to shut his mouth, feeling wronged.
The next moment, Yu Longyue sensed something and murmured:
"Wanla, you really came, Tang Wulin. Please, don't take the Soul Guidance Train again. If you do, don't ride it with me, I beg you."
The next second, a barrage of Soul Cannon rained down on the Soul Guidance Train, alarming the guards.
"Enemy attack!!!"
