"Shura, it's fine to fight against the soul beasts, but if you interfere in the affairs of the continent, I will suffer greatly if they find out."
"It's alright. I am a god of law enforcement, and I'm not asking you to do anything—just to ensure that my successor sect is not destroyed."
"Fine, but you must do what you promised me."
...
Bo Saixi, who was about to return to Sea God Island after the beast suppression gate closed, seemed to have heard something and glanced at the Clear Sky Sect team with a gentle gaze.
Wasn't the Clear Sky Sect the one Brother Chen came from? How could Lord Poseidon know that it was in danger of destruction?
But it was fine this way. Brother Chen once said that he wanted to find a path to godhood. Now that he was trapped in the Slaughter City, perhaps he had found the inheritance of the gods, which caught Lord Poseidon's attention.
Bo Saixi, the sudden appearance of an unrivaled Douluo, attracted everyone's attention. Many eyes were watching her.
When she walked toward the Clear Sky Sect with the hope that Tang Chen would emerge alive from the Slaughter City, many astonished gazes fixed on her. Would this giant figure also take part in the conflicts of the continent?
Tang Xiao was also confused, but he quickly stepped forward. If he offended another unrivaled Douluo, his Clear Sky Sect would truly be doomed.
"Senior, may I ask if this junior can be of assistance to you?"
"Do you know Tang Chen?"
"Senior, do you know my grandfather?"
"Yes, he and I were close friends who once traveled the continent together.
Since you are his junior, if you ever face difficulties, you may come to Sea God Island. I can still lend a little help."
"Yes, thank you, senior."
Tang Xiao was overjoyed. With an unrivaled Douluo as a backer, who would dare provoke the Clear Sky Sect again? Even Spirit Hall would have to think twice.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu, who had been watching Bo Saixi from afar, was heartbroken. How long had it been since Tang Chen disappeared? Why were you still thinking of him? Couldn't you turn around and look at me?
Back then, the three of them—High Priest of the Angels loved the High Priestess of the Sea God, the High Priestess of the Sea God loved Tang Chen, the strongest on the continent, and Tang Chen was determined to find the path to becoming a god. The three were entangled, and none of them could fulfill their wishes.
Now, after all these years, Qian Daoliu still hadn't let go, but he never expected that Bo Saixi hadn't either.
Bo Saixi's conversation with Tang Xiao was not hidden; in fact, she spoke as if to all the great powers present, implying that she would protect the Clear Sky Sect.
The leaders of all the powers began considering whether they should change their stance toward the Clear Sky Sect once more. With such a powerful backer, the sect had suddenly become hot property.
Bibi Dong, standing to the side, was gritting her silver teeth. She never expected that someone would step forward at this moment to protect the Clear Sky Sect. Was this sect truly like an undying cockroach?
If the Clear Sky Sect hadn't crippled Qian Xunji, she wouldn't have suffered such agonizing torment. Damn it. Damn it.
Bibi Dong's hatred surged, but she was forced to suppress it. Now was not the time. With her current strength, she couldn't take on an unrivaled Douluo.
"Damn it, those two damn soul beasts—why can't I just kill them already?"
After this wave of beast attacks, soul masters' fear of the Great Star Dou Forest had reached its peak. They never expected there to be so many powerful 100,000-year soul beasts—or even beasts beyond that level.
In the near future, they wouldn't dare step into the forest again. If they wanted spirit rings, there were other soul beast forests. They didn't need to hunt century-old beasts.
Speaking of century-old soul beasts, many people were now eyeing another sect that had stood out during this beast tide—Star Crown Sect.
It wasn't just because of the terrifying strength of the sect leader, but also because of Xu Mingxi's 200,000-year spirit ring, and the fact that her spirit power at Rank 95 could contend with a Title Douluo of Rank 97.
At that moment, Xu Mingxi wasn't paying attention to other powers—her eyes were fixed on Bo Saixi.
Although she had previously considered dragging Sea God Island into the fray, she had eventually dismissed the idea, thinking Bo Saixi would never leave her duties as High Priestess of Poseidon just to support the Clear Sky Sect.
Why, then, had Bo Saixi taken the initiative to support the Clear Sky Sect this time? Was it really only because of Tang Chen?
Such a dramatic change—what would it mean for the Star Crown Sect? Xu Mingxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She had chosen to showcase her strength during this beast tide, which had both advantages and disadvantages. The downside was that Spirit Hall now saw them as a bigger threat; the upside was that many powers opposing Spirit Hall might now draw closer to them. But she hadn't expected Qian Daoliu, with his angelic power, to be defeated so quickly—or that Sea God Island would resurface. Even Bo Saixi had revealed herself as one of the top forces on the continent and publicly protected the Clear Sky Sect.
Forget it. She couldn't figure it all out. What mattered most now was increasing her own strength.
Xu Mingxi shook her head and gave up thinking. If she became an unrivaled Douluo, she could lead people to surround and kill Bo Saixi right now. All the problems came from insufficient firepower.
"Master, let's go back."
"Alright."
After the master summoned the disciples of Star Crown Sect to gather, she said goodbye to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo who had been standing nearby.
"Master Ning, I will await your arrival at Star Luo Mountain."
"Certainly."
During this beast wave, because the Star Crown Sect had sent powerful soul saints, and with Xu Mingxi's domain bonus and the presence of the Star Guardian fusion protector, no one had died.
Dugu Bo was seriously injured. He had become a target of the soul beasts due to his ability to cause large-scale casualties. A 150,000-year-old Poison Dart Frog had targeted him, and he was eventually defeated and poisoned by it.
Fortunately, he had the Immortal Herb Youxiang Qiluo. Although he hadn't brought it, he had picked some petals while researching earlier.
After taking the petals and suppressing the poison, Dugu Bo slightly recovered under the care of the fourth elder. The remaining poison would depend on future treatment and recovery.
More importantly, the sect leader had sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough during the war. He finally saw a chance to overcome the bottleneck that had lasted nearly 30 years.
The war was over, and everyone returned home. Some rejoiced, others grieved. Many died, but there were also lucky ones who obtained soul bones in the battle.
Once absorbed and refined, their strength could increase further—if they could hold on to those soul bones.
Before leaving, Xu Mingxi had noticed many people already on the move. The racial war was over, and the internal conflicts were about to begin.
However, what she didn't notice was that in Spirit Hall's camp, beside Bibi Dong, there was a beautiful figure silently staring at her—quietly making a decision in her heart.
