After leaving the Sea God Hall, Qi Ling flew towards a certain place on the island, where he sensed the presence of Tang San and the others. They should all be there at this time.
During the Divine Court's attack, Tang San and his group were naturally attacked as well. However, Xue Qinghe clearly underestimated Tang San strength and only sent two Titled Douluo, intending to take Tang San down in one fell swoop.
Putting aside Tang San's current abilities, which make dealing with ordinary Titled Douluo a piece of cake, more importantly, the guardian Divine Beast of Sea God Island, Xiao Bai, is also with Tang San and the others at this moment.
With the help of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, dealing with two Titled Douluo was a piece of cake for the group. If they hadn't run away quickly, they might have even lost their lives to Tang San and the others.
After a fierce battle, everyone was resting when they suddenly saw Qi Ling arrive, which naturally made them very happy.
To Qi Ling's surprise, the Soul Power Level of everyone did not improve much. Even Tang San, who had the highest cultivation level among them, had not yet obtained his Eighth Soul Ring.
This undoubtedly shows that the group has not yet passed the Sea God's Fourth Trial, which is why they haven't received the reward. This made Qi Ling feel a little strange, because logically speaking, this trial shouldn't be difficult for Tang San, right?
During the subsequent rest, Qi Ling asked this question, but Tang San replied with a wry smile, "Brother, the content of this Fourth Trial is not easy at all; in fact, it's too difficult. We simply cannot complete it."
Qi Ling asked in confusion, "Why? Xiao San, with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, how can you not deal with those Evil Spirit Orca?"
"Ordinary Evil Spirit Orca are easy to deal with, but there's an anomaly among Evil Spirit Orca," Tang San said helplessly. "Because of its existence, we've launched several attacks, all of which have ended in failure."
"What troubles us most is that although it can't sense the existence of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it seems to be able to sense my presence as soon as I get close, and then issue a warning to the Evil Spirit Orca! As a result, we can't get close at all, and therefore can't achieve anything."
Qi Ling was surprised. Tang San's method was to use the invisibility function of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to infiltrate the Evil Spirit Orca, and then use the deadly poison of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to eliminate most of the Evil Spirit Orca.
The premise for doing this was that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud could evade all the Evil Spirit Orca, allowing Tang San to successfully infiltrate. However, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which should have been flawless, was actually discovered, which was undoubtedly an unusual thing.
"What is that thing you mentioned, the one that can detect your presence? Is it a variant of Evil Spirit Orca?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask.
Tang San shook his head and said, "No, I can't really say what it is either, but we heard Lord Bo Saixi say that it seems to be a Divine Beast! Moreover, I can sense that it doesn't want to be our enemy, but simply doesn't want to see the Evil Spirit Orca harmed."
Upon hearing this, Qi Ling was immediately puzzled. Divine Beast? Do such things even exist in this world? A dragon? And it didn't want to see the Evil Spirit Orca harmed—such a kind creature, does it really exist?
" Xiao San, can you see what that thing looks like? I've never seen Divine Beast before, what does it actually look like?" Qi Ling asked curiously.
"This... I'm sorry, brother, we couldn't get close at all, so we couldn't see what it looked like. I just happened to see that its body wasn't very big, and it had four legs. Moreover, it swam quite fast in the water, even faster than the Demon Soul Great White Shark," Tang San said.
Since Tang San couldn't explain what it was, Qi Ling naturally had to ask someone who knew more. So he went to the beach alone, and not long after, Xiao Bai leaped out of the sea, then transformed back into human form and came to Qi Ling.
"Hmph! You big bad guy, why are you here again!" Xiao Bai snorted, but the joy in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
Qi Ling smiled slightly. This girl's thoughts were too easy to guess. So she said, "Of course I'm here to help you. I heard you encountered some trouble while dealing with the Evil Spirit Orca?"
"You found out? We've definitely run into some trouble," Xiao Bai said helplessly. "According to Tang San's plan, we had a very good chance of winning, but... but it's really incomprehensible! Why would that guy side with the Evil Spirit Orca?"
"Oh? You know what that Divine Beast that Xiao San was talking about is?" Qi Ling asked in surprise.
"Of course I know! That guy is quite famous!" Xiao Bai said. "That's why I'm wondering why it's with those bad guys."
After a moment's thought, Qi Ling said to Xiao Bai, " Xiao Bai, there are some things I want to tell you. Come with me."
Qi Ling then walked ahead, and Xiao Bai Qi Ling, seeing this, had no choice but to follow behind her.
What Qi Ling wanted to say to Xiao Bai was actually quite simple: was it really necessary to wipe out the entire race of the Evil Spirit Orca?
Since learning about the theory of the relativity of good and evil from the Dragon God, Qi Ling's criteria for viewing things have also changed greatly. Things in the world are not simply black and white, and must be divided into good and evil.
Just like these Evil Spirit Orca, although they are ferocious by nature, they are just a type of creature in the ocean. The fact that they exist here means that there is a reason for their existence.
Just like many things in nature, they may be quite disgusting, but every living thing has its own necessity for existence! Qi Ling believed that these Evil Spirit Orca also absolutely had their own necessity for existence.
Moreover, according to Xiao Bai, these Evil Spirit Orca are ferocious by nature, but that's just because they have huge appetites. They are not inherently evil. As long as their numbers remain at a relatively stable level, they will not have any impact on the ocean.
"So, Xiao Bai, I think we must eliminate the ringleader, but as for the other Evil Spirit Orca, as long as they never come back here again, that's enough. What do you think?"
Xiao Bai listened to Qi Ling say so much, but she could understand very little of it. However, for some reason, she felt that Qi Ling's actions were more like what a god should do than what the Lord Sea God.
"Alright, Qi Ling, since that's the case, I agree to your proposal. As long as the Evil Spirit Orca never return, I can forgive and forget," Xiao Bai said. "However, their leader, the Evil Orca King, must not be let off the hook under any circumstances!"
"This guy is the real culprit behind all this. It's his brutality and tyranny that turned the Evil Spirit Orca into this kind of group! Even within their ranks, he's a tyrant. He shows no mercy to any Evil Spirit Orca that disobeys his orders."
"More importantly, my brother died at its hands! I will avenge my brother no matter what!"
Qi Ling then said, "Alright, as I said before, we can't let this guy go. After all, my brother's Soul Ring and Soul Bone still depend on it."
"In that case, take me there tomorrow. Let me see what kind of Divine Beast could leave all of you helpless."
