Xu Sheng did not argue, but recognized the other party's point...
"Yes, I will, after all, abyssal creatures haven't been completely wiped out, and it's not possible to stay on Sea God's Island forever!"
This time coming to Sea God's Island, besides that goal, was to recruit the help of Poseissi and others...
In this way, there would be greater assurance in resisting the abyssal creatures!
After all, with the Abyssal Emperor possessing a Divine Artifact, it wouldn't be surprising for the abyssal creatures to evolve to another level!
Gui Mei then showed a satisfied expression, "Hearing you say that, I can rest assured!"
"However, if you don't leave Sea God's Island when the time comes, then even if I have to tie you up, I'll take you away!"
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then pondered, "Speaking of which, Elder Gui, haven't you not sent a message to the Martial Soul Hall for a long time?"
"Aren't you afraid they might think we have already perished?"
Gui Mei let out a cold laugh, "Heh, do you think I'm that foolish? It's not just in the Tiandou Empire that the Martial Soul Hall has established a sub-hall. The same is true for the Xingluo Empire, just more hidden, that's all!"
"From the time we entered the Xingluo Empire, we've been discovered, so the message must have already reached Your Holiness the Pope!"
Xu Sheng pursued the question, "Does that mean that Your Holiness and the others already know we've reached Sea God's Island?"
Gui Mei replied with absolute certainty, "No... I'm afraid they do not!"
"For years, the Martial Soul Hall has tried to plant pawns on Sea God's Island, but they have all been accurately identified and rooted out by Grand Elder Poseissi!!"
"Therefore, Your Holiness probably only knows we are alive, without a clear idea of our exact location!"
Xu Sheng stretched, "I see, so Elder Gui had already thought about this, it seems I was overthinking it."
"Alright, I might as well get some sleep now."
Gui Mei frowned, "Wait, you're not going to participate in the upcoming Soul Fighting? All the spectators in the arena have come for you!"
Xu Sheng, however, waved his hand and explained, "No need, now that I've started making contact with those people, the arena can be put on hold."
"Moreover, hasn't that guy already made a decent sum of money off of me? It's about time he suffered some backlash!"
The corners of Gui Mei's mouth twitched, "Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"
It was now that he realized that Xu Sheng's behavior at times was not entirely that of an adult!
Could it be due to his appearance?
Xu Sheng shrugged his shoulders, "It's just a matter of time, after all, we'll have to leave sooner or later, so we might as well do it now!"
Gui Mei neither agreed nor disagreed, "While that may be true..."
"Someone bothersome has come!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than there came a voice from outside the door...
"Um... Xu Sheng, and the Title Douluo sir, are you in there?"
Gui Mei answered with impatience, "We're not here, you can leave!"
The man outside immediately stiffened in his expression, yet still steeled himself to say, "You really are humorous, sir. Actually, I've come to invite Xu Sheng to participate in Soul Fighting; many powerful Soul Masters from other arenas have arrived this time, and I'm sure they won't disappoint you!"
"Besides, the audience is really looking forward to your battle!"
Xu Sheng sighed, "Sorry, I'm not planning to participate in Soul Fighting for the time being."
He knew that people from the arena, driven by profit, would definitely come knocking shamelessly!
In an instant, the man outside pushed open the door and barged up to Xu Sheng...
Then he bent down, and said word by word, "Please, just participate in one Soul Fighting event, even once would be fine!"
"The spectators in the arena said if there isn't a match with you, they'll want their money back!"
Xu Sheng glanced at him and countered, "Can't you put someone else up? I remember the arena has quite a few popular choices!"
The man showed an awkward expression, "Are… Are you joking? Ever since you entered the stage, the spectators' numbers have plummeted, and even the authorities have already ordered the cancellation of several other arenas!"
Of course, what was more important was that these audiences were not buying it, after all, Xu Sheng's popularity had been too overwhelming recently!
Xu Sheng knew that if he did not agree, the other party would not intend to leave…
Thus, with a tone of helplessness, he said, "Eh… I understand, then I'll participate a few more times, but whether I'll continue participating in the future will be up to me to decide!"
The man's complexion brightened, and he bowed several times in succession before excitedly saying, "Thank you, the arena will forever remember your great kindness!!!"
"There's no need for that, be on your way!"
Having said that, Xu Sheng turned and left…
Seeing this, the man quickly followed suit…
Gui Mei, who witnessed their departure, couldn't help but mutter, "He clearly said he wanted to make the arena suffer the backlash for becoming too popular, but he still went soft!"
No one really knew what kind of person he was!
Perhaps he truly did come back from the future!
After all, there were too many things that could not be explained, the abyssal creatures were just one of them!
…
At the same time!
A secluded place on Sea God's Island!
At least a dozen Soul Masters, having concealed their aura, proudly lifted their chins…
"So, this is Sea God's Island? To think that we actually managed to infiltrate this place!"
"Yeah, they say Sea God's Island is impregnable, but I guess it's just so-so!
"Hmph, this Sea God's Island's Grand Elder Poseissi, how many strong warriors of Martial Soul Hall he killed back then, it's unforgivable!"
"Once we figure out the weak points of Sea God's Island's barrier, as well as the specific circumstances, destroying this place won't be so difficult!
"Trouble comes from the mouth, quiet down a bit. If the people of Sea God's Island hear us, we probably won't be able to leave alive!"
However, the next second, they felt a chilling sense of danger from behind them…
Along with the emotionless words…
"Intruders who have trespassed, from the moment you revealed yourselves, you were destined not to leave!"
Realizing they had been exposed, the Soul Masters immediately turned around, then released their Martial Souls…
Staring unblinkingly at the man in front of them, brimming with a terrifying aura…
"This… This guy's aura is too terrifying, he's probably not just an ordinary Titled Douluo!"
"Damn it, we had completely concealed our aura, not having been detected by anyone, why were we still exposed!"
"I understand now, it must be because of the barrier; it was created by Grand Elder Poseissi's Soul Power, anyone entering would be detected!"
"Oh? You actually managed to discover that secret, seems you're not that foolish!"
"Unfortunately, there's no chance to spread the word now!
As the competition concluded, the spectators in the arena also began to leave one after another, clearly very satisfied…
The only regret was that they did not know what Evil Moon and Hulena's Soul Fusion Skill looked like!
From beginning to end, they could only see a purple-red mist…
The deacon in charge of the competition respectfully addressed Bi Bidong, "Your Holiness, now that the competition is over, I shall take my leave!"
The latter simply responded with a light "Hmm"…
Although the match lasted longer than expected, Hulena and the others still secured the victory with absolute dominance, and she was very comforted by this…
