Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 389 Poseidon Island is in an uproar; conflicting stances, regardless of right or wrong.

The next day.

The sky was a clear, bright blue.

Li Bai and his friends set off westward, heading straight for the vast ocean.

A thousand streams flowed hidden in the shadows, following closely behind.

He said he felt uncomfortable around young people and was afraid of spoiling Li Zhexian and the others' fun.

But Li Zhexian knew in his heart...

more.

It was that kind of trepidation, like the feeling of being close to home but feeling apprehensive.

The thought of seeing that woman again soon filled me with joy.

Qian Daoliu ultimately lacked the courage to confront his deceased friends.

a few days later.

The west coast is near.

The sea breeze arrived before the people even got there.

The wind was completely different from the dryness of the inland areas; it carried moist air and a faint scent of seaweed, and it swept over everyone, instantly soaking their clothes.

Within the city of Hanhai, the long streets stretched like ribbons.

All those who come and go bear the mark of the sea:
The fishermen, their upper bodies bare and bronzed, carried rough, dripping ropes on their shoulders, their white teeth flashing as they chatted and laughed.

A fisherwoman with a brightly colored headscarf walks through the crowd carrying a bamboo basket containing a newly mended fishing net, her fingers still glistening with fine sea salt.

The streets are lined with stalls displaying all sorts of oddly shaped seafood.

Looking beyond the eaves, one can see a forest of masts in the distant harbor, and several giant ships standing like mountains, creating a magnificent sight.

Such a scene.

For those who have long lived inland.

It's so rare that you can't take your eyes off it.

Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and several other girls, arm in arm, lingered and laughed at a stall selling seaside trinkets.

Li Zhexian, along with Yu Tianheng and others, chartered a large ship and agreed to depart in two days.

immediately.

They turned around and found a well-known local tavern.

Push open the tavern door.

A scent mingled with the aroma of sake lees and the fresh scent of the sea breeze wafted over.

Li Zhexian's mouth immediately watered, and he eagerly sat down by the window, ordering a cup of local brew.

The crisp, refreshing liquor went down my throat.

He pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he nodded in approval:

"That's good, you should try it too."

Yu Tianheng and the others raised their cups and drank them down, nodding in agreement.

Feng Buyu asked with a smile:
"Brother Immortal, you are a connoisseur of wine. What do you think of the wine in this seaside city?"

Li Zhexian swirled the wine in his cup and laughed:
"It has its own unique flavor."

"The area around the sea has abundant moisture and a small temperature difference between day and night. Combined with the unique 'wine vat' brewing method, it can produce such a mellow and refreshing taste... In short, it's not bad."

The boy was shaking his head.

He becomes very enthusiastic when the topic of wine comes up.

Feng Buyu, Huo Wushuang, and the others all gave a thumbs up:

"When it comes to drinking, you have to look to Brother Banished Immortal!"

"That's what you call professional!"

Everyone drank heartily.

A few shirtless, roguish men sitting nearby suddenly raised their voices:
"The other day, the waves over Devil Island were really weird. They blew my fishing boat into a reef and I almost couldn't get back!"

"Hey, you don't know yet? The mysterious master who came from Devil Island was killed by the Sword Master from the mainland with a single sword strike!"

Yu Tianheng, Feng Buyu, and the others picked up slices of raw fish and put them in their mouths, exchanging glances.

Then he and Li Zhexian turned to the side together.

He listened attentively, drinking with great interest.

"It's Sword Wine again! This is outrageous! Even our entire Hanhai City is buzzing with the stories of that Sword Wine!"

"Ah, the greatest genius of all time, who fell while protecting the Heavenly Battle, and then was reborn! Truly dazzling, I really want to see him!"

"Devil's Island is high above us, and we worship the Sea God, but when has the Sea God ever bestowed any blessings? It is that Lord Sword Wine who has brought peace to our Han Hai City!"

"Be careful what you say! When gods fight, we mortals should just watch!"

"Brother Immortal's reputation has even spread to the coastal cities!"

The wind sighed in silent wonder.

Yu Tianheng and Huo Wushuang looked at Li Zhexian, who was shaking his head and smiling wryly, and teased him:
"Brother Immortal, what are your thoughts?"

Li Zhexian gently put down his wine cup and smiled:

"I had no intention of being enemies with Poseidon Island, but I wanted to settle an old grudge."

Having said that, he brushed off his clothes and rose.

"Let's go."

"It's a rare treat to come to this seaside."

"Let's enjoy a two-day cruise before setting sail."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the wind was just right and the clouds were light.

Li Zhexian and his entourage boarded a giant ship and set sail for the legendary Sea God Island.

The sea was a deep indigo blue, stretching all the way to the horizon, blending seamlessly with the clear blue sky.

Li Bai stood alone at the bow of the boat, his white robes fluttering in the wind.

Beside him were his lover Zhu Zhuqing, as well as Yu Tianheng and a group of close friends.

Looking out over this boundless sea, one's heart expands and a sense of pride arises.

Occasionally, enormous sea monsters leap out of the water, their scales reflecting the sunlight and stirring up thousands of waves.

This caused them to exclaim in surprise.

An elderly, ruddy-skinned boatman, steering the ship, watched the group of spirited young people with a smile.

"Judging from your accents, you're not from Hanhai City, are you?"

"Why do you insist on going to the waters off Devil Island? Hey, apart from me, there aren't many boatmen who dare to take this job."

Li Zhexian's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled what he had heard in the tavern the other day, and he asked with a smile:
"How much does the old man know about Devil's Island?"

"That's a mysterious island. Many powerful sea spirit masters live on it. It's said that... even the sea god lives there."

talking.

The old boatman pulled a bag of crispy roasted seashells from his pocket and handed it to the group of boys.

Feng Buyu, Huo Wushuang, and the others took a bite and then spat it out with a "pui pui" sound.

Li Zhexian frowned as he slowly chewed.

The old boatman gave Li Zhexian a thumbs-up and laughed as he popped several large seashells into his mouth.

"Brother, have you also heard that the Soul Masters on Devil Island are aloof and arrogant?"

Li Bai remained silent.

Feng Xiaotian chimed in from the side:
"Isn't it?"

I don't think so.

The old boatman grimaced as he choked on the shell fragments, and said slowly:

"Someone like me, with meager soul power and relying entirely on experience for a living, depends entirely on the heavens for what I eat throughout the year."

"The sea is not peaceful for most of the year."

"Only large fleets can afford to hire a Sea Soul Master above the Soul Saint level."

"With them around, even the fiercest storms can keep us safe."

"But most people are like me..."

His voice deepened.

"When I was young, I encountered a hurricane at sea."

"That momentum..."

"It's like the whole ocean has been boiled."

"My boat, along with several other boats nearby, was about to capsize."

"But I saw it with my own eyes..."

"A figure was found submerged in the sea, holding up the bottom of the ship with both hands, saving the lives of most people that day."

“My family not only enshrines the longevity tablet of Master Jianjiu, but also pays respects to the Soul Masters who guard the vast sea on Devil Island.”

The old boatman's words echoed in the wind.

Yu Tianheng, Feng Buyu, and the others pondered for a long time, then sighed:
“What Brother Zhe Xian said earlier makes sense. It would be best to avoid conflict.”

"But that titled Sea Soul Master, since he chose to protect Dai Mubai, has no one to blame but himself for his death."

Li Bai gazed silently into the distance.

The sea breeze ruffled his clothes.

He has a clear conscience.

Since that Sea Soul Master had chosen to stand on Dai Mubai's side, he came to obstruct their path on the day of the one-year agreement.

They killed him, that's it.

When positions differ, there is no right or wrong.

at the same time.

The shimmering Poseidon Island.

The surrounding seawater suddenly surged violently as if boiling.

The six sacred pillars standing in various parts of Poseidon Island unleashed a soaring blue light.
