Xu Sheng was amused, "Elder Gui, do you actually wish for me to die down there?"
Seeing Gui Mei display such an expression really was a rarity!
However, Gui Mei rebuked him, "Xu Sheng, cut the nonsense. How are you unscathed after facing that terrifying sea soul beast alone? Could it be that everything you said before was a lie to deceive me?"
He suspected that Xu Sheng had fled as soon as he entered the ocean!
Otherwise, how could this be explained?
Xu Sheng replied calmly, "Elder Gui is worrying too much; I've already dealt with that sea soul beast!"
Gui Mei pinched himself hard and said again, "What... What? This... This is impossible, with your strength, you absolutely couldn't have done it!!"
He couldn't believe that the sea soul beast, which he himself had difficulty even approaching, could be dispatched by Xu Sheng in such a short amount of time—and from the sound of it, with ease!
Without further explanation, Xu Sheng retorted, "Elder Gui, you might say that, but you must be very clear in your heart."
Just as Gui Mei was about to retort...
He realized something!!
That was, the oppressive aura emitted by the sea soul beast just now had completely dissipated!
Even when fully extending his spiritual power, he couldn't sense the slightest trace!
At that moment, he forcefully suppressed what he was going to say and gritted his teeth, "You... You really dealt with that sea soul beast?"
Xu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yeah, but it wasn't so much dealing with it as it was using a certain method to make it leave this sea area!!"
If he told Gui Mei that he had slain the sea soul beast, he probably wouldn't believe it and might even be suspicious!
Rather than that, it might be better to say that he...
...…
Tang Wulin answered without changing his expression, "I am Tang Wulin, and this is a military legion on the edge of the Soul Land."
The man was taken aback and followed up, "Eh? A legion on the edge of the Continent, but wasn't I just on the street before this?"
Tang Wulin said again, "Since you're here, do you have any thoughts of joining us?"
The former fell into thought upon this question, seemingly contemplating whether to join...
However, Tang Wulin clearly didn't want to give him a chance to refuse, "Someone, come!"
Very quickly, two soldiers from the Blood God Army barged in and respectfully said to Tang Wulin, "Major General Tang Wulin, what do you need?"
Tang Wulin glanced at the man and explained, "This is a Soul Master who intends to join our Blood God Army. Take him down to learn more about us!"
Upon his word, the two soldiers nodded and said, "Yes, sir!"
Consequently, they promptly took hold of the man's shoulders, "Come with us, let's go down and you can learn about the Blood God Army."
The man, catching on to what was happening, protested in a panic, "Wait, let me go... I haven't agreed to join, stop it, this is kidnapping, this is extortion..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was dragged out of the room...
They could even faintly hear the whisper of discussion...
"This guy doesn't look like he's joined our Blood God Army voluntarily, is Major General Tang Wulin's aggressive recruitment really okay?"
"Hey, it's definitely fine. Besides, the guy's here now, and he's a Soul Master. He should consider it an honor to contribute to the Continent!"
Soon, the soldiers of the Blood God Army began to enter the passage one by one...
However, when they successfully arrived inside the abyss, they were all stunned...
Because the scene before them was too grim, hundreds and thousands of abyssal creatures were insanely ramming their bodies against the seal, turning into pools of blood with a stench at the moment of contact...
"Have these abyssal creatures gone mad? They don't care about their own lives at all!"
"Isn't this a good thing? At this rate, maybe they'll just extinct themselves!"
"Right, this is way more efficient than us killing the abyssal creatures! I say, we just stand here and watch them die!"
"Don't be naive. These abyssal creatures are just here to weaken the seal. Besides, they breed so fast, it's impossible to eliminate them all without using Godkilling Fixed Soul Cannonballs!"
Amidst this discussion, the Blood God Army and the three Elders of the Sea God Pavilion also entered...
Upon seeing this, Blood One frowned and said, "What are you all doing? Why haven't you established a defensive line yet?"
One of the soldiers mustered up the courage to speak, "Blood One, sir, these abyssal creatures are dying by the thousands, much faster than we can kill them!"
"Why not just stand by and watch? This way, we can minimize our losses! If worse comes to worst, we can reinforce the abyss again!"
Another soldier echoed, "Yes, Blood One, sir, with so many abyssal creatures, we won't be able to hold them back with just this few people!"
After hearing their words, Blood One's expression darkened to the extreme...
He rebuked them mercilessly, "Fools! Do you understand? The blood of these abyssal creatures has already contaminated the seal. Thinking you can reinforce the seal is not that easy!"
"If we wait for most of these abyssal creatures to die, it'll be when the seal is broken! Every human will face a catastrophic disaster, and then, you will be the sinners of the entire Continent!"
With these words, the soldiers who previously thought the suggestion was not bad all lowered their heads, clearly feeling ashamed of their ignorance!
Blood Two coldly interjected, "What are you standing around for? Set up the defense line immediately! Then try to draw the attention of the abyssal creatures as much as possible to slow down their attacks on the seal!"
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers stopped all discussion and began diligently setting up soul tools and establishing a defensive line...
Suddenly, Feng Wu Yu narrowed his eyes and turned to the two beside him, "Turbid World Elder, Elder Yuanen, have you noticed?"
Yuan En Zhentian nodded, "Yes, there's something odd about these abyssal creatures. Their eyes lack any emotion, as if they were machines!"
"I'm afraid they're being controlled by one of the Abyssal Emperors. I suspect it to be the Spirit Emperor mentioned by Wulin!"
Turbid World took a deep breath, "To manipulate such a massive horde of abyssal creatures at once, just how terrifying must the spiritual power of this Spirit Emperor be!"
Even for them, at Limit Douluo Level, taking a direct hit would surely cause a severe headache!
Though not participating, Blood One, who had been listening all along, immediately proposed, "Since an Abyssal Emperor is controlling the horde of abyssal creatures with spiritual power, isn't it possible to disrupt their control with a wide-range spiritual attack to restore their consciousness?"
Turbid World stroked his chin, "It's not impossible, but among us, there seems to be no one who can launch such a massive spiritual power attack!"
Feng Wu Yu scratched his head, "Yeah, even if we work together, we might not be able to do it!"
