Arrival at Sea God Island
Three days later, the Red Pearl had already sailed into the Demon Whale Sea Area.
Qian Xunling stood up and put the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud into her Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse. Then she looked at the two beautiful mermaids beside her and asked, "You live in the deep sea outside the Ring Sea. How did you, so weak, manage to cross the Demon Whale Domain?"
The blue-haired mermaid blushed and replied softly, "Young master, our Mermaid Clan controls several routes, which is why we were able to leave safely."
"In that case, you will be in charge of navigating from now on. Our destination is Sea God Island. Once we reach Sea God Island, you can go home." Qian Xunling nodded.
"Mmm-hmm." The two merfolk nodded repeatedly, while Bibi Dong asked, "Uncle-Master, what kind of place is Sea God Island? Can Little Spider also undergo God Trial?"
Qian Xunling glanced at her speechlessly, raised her hand to flick her forehead, Bibi Dong covered her forehead, her eyes reddening.
Then Qian Xunling looked at Ah Yin, who had been cleaning the Red Pearl for three days and three nights and was so tired she could barely stand but dared not leave, and laughed, "Don't even mention you, even a newly transformed Soul Beast can undergo a God Trial."
"Sister Ah Yin can also pass the God Trial?" Bibi Dong looked at Ah Yin. After spending the last three days together, their relationship, while not exactly close, could be considered sisterly. "That's wonderful!"
However, at this moment, Ah Yin had no interest in the God Trial at all; she just wanted to stop what she was doing and get some rest.
Five days later.
The Red Pearl arrived at the Ring Sea without encountering any attacks, which was quite bizarre and surprised the mermaids on board, including Qian Xunling and her companions, with their good fortune.
Even the Mermaid Clan often encounter low-level Sea Soul Beast when traveling these routes, but they haven't seen any low-level Sea Soul Beast along the way.
"They are all people blessed by the Sea God." For a moment, these merfolk clenched their fists and looked at Qian Xunling and Bibi Dong, feeling deeply moved, and their goodwill towards them increased even more.
Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin looked at Qian Xunling. Even they felt that the journey had been too quiet and unusual. Someone must have made a move. The Sea God was too ethereal to them. They subconsciously thought it was Qian Xunling, and only Qian Xunling could have done it.
Bibi Dong looked at them, puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing?"
The beautiful blue-haired mermaid did not respond to Bibi Dong, but instead became absorbed in the blessings bestowed upon her by the Sea God.
Bibi Dong frowned, completely puzzled, then looked at her martial uncle and asked, "Martial Uncle, are we at Sea God Island now?"
"It's still a long way off. Ahead lies the Ring Sea, the territory of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and also the guardian of Sea God Island." Qian Xunling didn't respond to Chen Jianjun and the others' curious gazes, only slightly raising the corners of her mouth.
He had never used his Fourth Soul Skill in front of them before. It was called the Will of Water, which, simply put, was the ability to control all water, similar to the Sea God's Power to control the water. It could be said that apart from Bo Saixi, no one could match Qian Xunling's control over the sea, not even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
It was precisely by using her Fourth Soul Skill that Qian Xunling completely concealed the Red Pearl's whereabouts in the vast ocean.
In the original novel, the main reason why the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King found Tang San and his companions was because of the Vast Sea God Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and the aura of the Sea God on Tang San's body. However, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in Qian Xunling's hands now does not have the aura of the Sea God, and even the aura of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud has been concealed, so it is highly unlikely that she will be targeted.
The outcome was exactly as Qian Xunling had predicted.
Just then, a large group of dark shadows slowly swam over from beneath the Ring Sea. Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin watched the movement below warily. Chen Jianjun spoke up, "Young Master Xunling, the Demon Soul Great White Shark is here."
"Since you're here, go and greet them! What are you all praying about?" Qian Xunling turned to look at the group of mermaids and scolded them. The mermaids were taken aback and stopped praying.
Thanks to the relationship between Xiao Bai and the Sea Witch, the relationship between the Mermaid Clan and the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan is not bad. On the contrary, compared with other Sea Soul Beast, the two clans are quite good.
Qian Xunling urged, "Hurry up."
The mermaids were startled and rushed to the shore in front of the deck.
It was at this moment that Little Spider and Chen Jianjun, father and son, finally understood why Qian Xunling had brought these mermaids along.
So that's what it was about. Little Spider looked at Qian Xunling, her lips trembling slightly, and whispered, "Uncle-Master is indeed not someone who would willingly suffer a loss, but that's the Uncle-Master I know."
Qian Xunling looked at Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong exclaimed, "Uncle-Master, I was wrong."
"Hehe." Qian Xunling sneered. Qian Xunling's original plan was to follow Tang San's example and use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to walk across the seabed to reach the island, not to take them with her, which was time-consuming and laborious.
The mermaids stood on the deck, then waved to the approaching Demon Soul Great White Shark and called out, "Hello, we are from the Mermaid Clan. We mean you no harm, please don't be nervous."
Sensing Qian Xunling's gaze from behind, even the shyest mermaids dared not stop shouting and began to yell at the top of their lungs.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark in the water poked their bald heads out, their small eyes spotting the mermaids on the deck. They lived in a different place than the Mermaid Clan, but they often encountered each other.
They didn't approach the Red Pearl again, but they didn't leave either. Several smaller Demon Soul Great White Shark returned, as if to notify someone.
Soon, the largest Demon Soul Great White Shark slowly swam over. Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin said solemnly, "Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
After approaching the Red Pearl, the Demon Soul Great White Shark transformed into a humanoid woman with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance. She also retained some characteristics of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and her overall demeanor exuded a serious air. She floated in front of the Red Pearl, looking at the mermaids and the people on board.
The merfolk respectfully greeted, "Lord Xiao Bai."
"How come you're on a human ship?" Xiao Bai carefully examined the people on board, and when she saw Xiao Wu and Ah Yin, a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
This combination really surprised her. How could two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast be with a human Titled Douluo? Although she hadn't been to the mainland many times, she often heard about what happened there. Soul Master and Soul Beast on the mainland should be hostile, unlike on their Sea God Island.
The mermaids explained their encounter and its outcome, then looked at Qian Xunling and said, "Xiao Bai Xiaobai, it was this young master who saved us."
Xiao Bai looked at Qian Xunling, surprised to find that Qian Xunling was the leader of the group. She asked, "You want to go to the island?"
"Stop saying anything. I know you won't let us pass, and you'll probably say something about outsiders having to pass through the Ring Sea guarded by your Demon Soul Great White Shark to land on the island." Qian Xunling picked at her ear, somewhat impatiently saying, "Consider these mermaids a small gift to you; no thanks are needed."
"You..." Xiao Bai, her thoughts exposed, looked at Qian Xunling in surprise, somewhat dissatisfied with Qian Xunling's attitude, but still asked, "How do you know I won't let you pass so easily?"
"Because you're too naive. Your thoughts are all written on your face; I can tell at a glance," Qian Xunling replied.
"I'm naive?" Xiao Bai chuckled, but then realized that it wasn't actually a derogatory term.
"Now that you know I won't let you pass easily, what do you plan to do?" Xiao Bai asked with a smile, staring at Qian Xunling. However, Qian Xunling ignored her and slowly said, "Seventh Soul Skill, Wormhole Jump."
"A spatial Soul Skill?" Xiao Bai asked in surprise, while Qian Xunling said to Bibi Dong, "Come in, everyone."
"Yes, Uncle-Master." Bibi Dong pulled Xiao Wu and Ah Yin along with Qian Xunling and entered the wormhole, with Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin following behind.
The wormhole disappeared, Xiao Bai immediately looked around, but could not sense any change in the surrounding space.
"Where are they? They couldn't have been teleported directly to Sea God Island, could they?"
