Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 177 Undersea Palace
Lin Xiao wasn't sure how long he'd been underwater, but he was simply drifting with the Great Elder. The darkness around him had long become normal, and even the immense pressure beneath the surface had gradually become accustomed to him.

Another mouthful of sea water was swallowed into the mouth, and then expelled from the body by the power of the larynx. The mouth had been washed so hard that it had lost sensation and could hardly feel the coldness of the sea water.

Turning her head slightly, she found that the Great Elder beside her had disappeared, and only her voice kept ringing in her ears.

"Keep going."

Lin Xiao swung his legs and rushed forward as if he had really turned into a sea fish. Just after he passed a dense school of fish again, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of him.

This place is already deep in the ice sea, and the sunlight above the sea surface cannot reach here at all. Lin Xiao knows in his heart that the destination of this trip is probably ahead.

He became alert and with a thought, a translucent shadow separated from his body.

The "assassin" as a soul was not affected by the sea water at all. Under Lin Xiao's control, it slowly floated forward. Soon, a strange sight that was impossible to see on land appeared deep in the sea.

The first thing that catches your eye is the outline of the breathtakingly huge building complex.

Those are not built with earthly bricks and stones, but are constructed from various natural crystals, corals and giant giant clam shells.

The Sea Princess family did not master human soul guide technology and did not know what lighting soul guides were, but almost all the underwater buildings emitted a soft but bright light that could penetrate the deep sea.

In the center of the building complex, a tall palace is very conspicuous. At first glance, it seems to be wrapped in a huge coral. Upon closer inspection, it is dotted with luminous pearls of various colors, reflecting colorful light.

The Sea Princess's clan was good at mental power. Lin Xiao was not sure if they could sense the breath of the soul, so he did not let the assassin get too close. He just looked at the crystal-like gate of the palace from a distance.

Occasionally, a figure passed by outside the palace gate. It looked somewhat like a human, but was much taller than a human. Its lower body was not legs, but similar to that of a fish. It could swim a long distance by gently wagging its tail.

Lin Xiao swallowed a mouthful of sea water, feeling the air contained in it. The soul power in his body surged slightly, and his body sank a little deeper.

Then he raised his head slightly and looked up at the sea.

Although the Sea Princess's clan looks harmless, they have a high level of cultivation. Their clan leader even has 600,000 years of cultivation. If they rush in rashly, they will just be seeking death. Whether they can find an opportunity depends on the preparations of the Great Elder.

Above the surface of the ice sea, the extremely low temperature causes large areas of sea water to form a thick layer of ice. Standing in the air, you can see several icebergs floating slowly on the sea.

The cold wind blowing from the Far North lifted the Great Elder's cloak, revealing his skin with a few spots of light blue underneath the cloak.

"I am back."

The Great Elder sighed softly, and suddenly reached out to take off his cloak, revealing a pretty figure inside.

Beneath the cloak, the mysterious elder of the Holy Spirit Church was much younger than others imagined, even too young, looking like a girl who had just turned twenty years old.

Beneath the cloak, there were no extra garments; her bare skin gleamed like white jade in the sunlight. Only her wrists, legs, and the sides of her ears retained fish-like scales, concealing her vital parts. Her almost perfect face was captivating at first glance, and below her cheekbones, near her ears, a few translucent, fan-shaped gill slits opened and closed slightly.

However, this inhuman feature did not destroy the harmony of her facial features, but instead gave her a strange charm.

A pair of eyes as blue as the deep sea stared at the calm sea surface, and the vertical pupils in the eyes, like those of a wild beast, suddenly tightened. The next moment, tremendous soul power surged out from the elder's body, and huge waves suddenly appeared on the sea surface.

Pointing downwards, the light blue at the elder's fingertips became deeper, and an invisible force passed through the surface of the sea towards the palace deep under the sea.

Lin Xiao looked at the building where the mermaids lived from afar. Suddenly, almost all the mermaids stopped moving at the same time. The next moment, hundreds of figures rushed out of the palace and leaped towards the sea.

Those mermaids were like the army in the palace, holding simple spears or various corals in their hands. In the middle of the long team, there was a touch of gold moving with them.

It was just that the distance was too far, and due to the obstruction of the sea water, Lin Xiao could not see the specific appearance of the golden color.

But there was no need to see clearly. As soon as the figure appeared, even Lin Xiao, who was far away, felt a slight dizziness. He could probably guess that it was the 600,000-year-old sea soul beast without seeing it clearly.

She is also the real "Sea Princess" among the mermaids.

Although he didn't know how the Great Elder did it, Lin Xiao still followed her previous instructions and slowly approached the building along the seabed.

Thousands of auras, strong or weak, emanated from those buildings. Some seemed to be just hundred-year or thousand-year-old soul beasts, which should still be children among the mermaid clan.

Just as he got closer, an elegant melody came from all directions, drilling into his ears and mind, as if thousands of voices were whispering in his ears.

Lin Xiao's figure stopped in place instantly, and his thoughts seemed to be carried away to a faraway place by the singing.

The coolness under his feet made Lin Xiao slowly open his eyes. He seemed to be standing on the sea again. The sea water gradually covered his chest, his mouth and nose, and kept drilling into his nostrils, bringing a burning pain.

The suffocating feeling made his vision darken, and the breath of death once again clearly appeared beside him.

No, didn’t I absorb the larynx of the mermaids? How could I still suffocate in the water?
Lin Xiao shook his head slightly, startled. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the mermaid's building complex. Surrounded by tall coral walls, he could hear one or two conversations from afar from time to time.

Looking back, an invisible barrier completely covered this place. The ocean outside seemed to be completely separated from here into two worlds. It was not called the seabed, but more like coming to a village in another world.

Looking at the palace so close at hand that looked like the Crystal Palace in his memory, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that the world he was in now possessed soul power, a strange power beyond the cognition of ordinary people.

Although it is still a planet, there are countless places on this planet that humans cannot set foot in, and it is completely different from the world in his memory.
