The crowd naturally discerned that he hadn't revealed everything, but they still allowed him a measure of dignity...

"Hehe, as expected from someone who can operate a competition arena, you really know how to evade questions. But no matter, our target isn't you!"

Following that, the tone of the voice changed, giving an unceremonious command, "You, have that Xu Sheng come to meet us immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the man showed a hint of difficulty, but still responded with a smile, "Xu Sheng has many matches today, and I'm afraid he won't be able to leave the battle platform in a short time. Why not come back another day?"

"At that time, I will ensure Xu Sheng is here awaiting you!"

If he were to terminate the competition at this time, how much money would he lose? He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen!

Such a rationale, pleasing as it might sound, was utterly ineffective...

"You, are you incapable of understanding what we're saying? Now, immediately, call that Xu Sheng over for questioning!"

"If you don't agree, shall we take it as your intention to defy the Grand Elder's orders?"

The consequences of defying Grand Elder Poseissi were unbearable for anyone from Sea God's Island!!

The man, too, was infuriated, his face flushing red as he retorted, "You... You are being far too overbearing. Even the Grand Elder's orders wouldn't allow you to act so unreasonably!"

The Grand Elder's character has always been filled with kindness, and he's incredibly gentle with the residents of Sea God's Island!

Yet these people were abusing the orders given by him to do as they pleased!!

Feeling that they had lost face, the eyes of the Soul Masters began to grow fierce, "It seems you have no intention of handing over Xu Sheng, then don't blame us for not being polite!"

They were, after all, executing tasks for the Grand Elder; even if they killed these people, they wouldn't face any punishment!

The man glanced at them coldly, "Want to make a move? Our competition arena is not so easily bullied!"

Those who could operate a competition arena naturally had a contingent of powerful Soul Masters for protection!

All he did was clap his hands, and the thugs who had been lying in ambush outside rushed in, surrounding everyone...

A great battle between the two parties was on the verge of breaking out...

At this moment, Gui Mei crossed his arms and walked in; seeing what was going on, he spared no courtesy in his mockery, "What's with all the noise? I didn't expect a dog-eat-dog situation!"

The crowd was startled at first, and then their expressions turned suddenly bleak...

"Who are you? How dare you insult us by calling us dogs, do you not want to live?"

"Dammit, this guy is too arrogant, to say such things right in front of us, we can't let him off!"

"Let's set aside the matter with the competition arena for now and deal with this guy first, let him know the consequences of offending us!"

"That's right, we must slaughter him, or else we won't pacify the hatred in our hearts!"

The man in the back sneered silently, "What fools, that person is a Titled Douluo. If it really comes to a fight, they're bound to die without a doubt!"

At such a time, if he kept silent, he should be able to shift their attention!

Gui Mei merely snorted, "I've no interest in battling with you ants."

The Soul Masters couldn't restrain themselves and charged at him together...

However, he merely released a bit of pressure, and they were repelled several steps...

"What... What? Just by his pressure he can repel us, who... who is this person?"

"Such terrifying strength, it's a good thing he didn't decide to kill us, or we would have all died here today!"

"To have provoked such a powerful figure, what a stroke of bad luck. Shall we retreat first??"

"Retreat, retreat, what retreat; in front of this powerful figure, it's impossible for us to escape. Let's first stay calm and not be impulsive!"

Gui Mei paid them no more attention and turned to the man in the back, "Xu Sheng has asked me to tell you, to continue with the arrangements for the subsequent matches! Whatever the strength, it doesn't matter, but change it to a challenge on the platform. He says dealing with them one-by-one is too troublesome!"

The man in the back was a bit dumbfounded and subconsciously nodded, "Oh... Oh."

After receiving the answer, Gui Mei vanished in an instant, as if he had never existed in the first place...

Seeing this, the thugs at the arena couldn't help but turn their gaze to the former, "Sir, are we still going to fight?"

The man rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Fight my ass!"

He had called these people here simply to intimidate the other party, never intending to start a battle!

Because once a fight broke out, it would mean they were enemies of Sea God's Island!

The inevitable result would be a dead end!

Immediately after, he coughed into his hand and spoke to the Soul Masters before him, "Gentlemen, I have no intention of stopping you, but as you must have seen, the person who just appeared is the Titled Douluo responsible for protecting Xu Sheng!"

"If you are confident you can approach Xu Sheng in his presence, please, be my guest!"

Forget it, it's better to shift the responsibility onto those two individuals!

The Sea Soul Masters who came with a mission hesitated for a moment and retracted their Martial Souls...

"You are right; with such a strong protector, it is impossible for us to get close!"

"Then let's do as you say. After today's confrontation ends, you will arrange for Xu Sheng to meet with us tomorrow!"

"That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

After the recent unexpected event, they didn't dare to be as arrogant as before!

Having achieved his objective, the man immediately waved his hand, "No problem, of course, no problem. Tomorrow, when you come here, you will surely meet Xu Sheng!"

"However, I hope that before you come, you'll make sure to send notification, and not barge in as rudely as you did today!"

Even if Xu Sheng is taken away tomorrow, today he could tidy up a full pot!

After sneering, "Let's go!"

As his words fell, the Sea Soul Masters also rapidly departed...

The man patted his chest and then looked at the thugs still standing in place...

"Listen well, all of you, when those guys come tomorrow, you must stop them outside until you get my permission, understand?"

Upon hearing this, they responded, "Yes, Sir!"

"All right, disperse now!"

...

Inside the palace!

Sea Spear Douluo took steps as quietly as possible, coming to the base of the throne...

He then respectfully said, "Grand Elder!"

Poseissi's clear eyes turned towards him, seemingly curious, "Sea Spear, if I'm not mistaken, today isn't the day for testing you all, is it?"

She would test the Seven Sacred Pillars periodically to understand their overall strength!

Sea Spear Douluo nodded slightly, "Yes, Grand Elder, I have come recently because there is a matter I wish to discuss with you!"

Poseissi nodded in understanding and continued, "I see, go ahead and speak your mind."

Without any fuss, Sea Spear Douluo revealed his purpose for coming... "It's like this, recently on Sea God's Island, there seems to be an increase in intruding external Soul Masters, which has caused dissatisfaction among some local residents!"

"So, I wanted to ask whether we should completely close off the entrance to Sea God's Island!"
