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

Chapter 453 Agree to Travel Together
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's thoughts stirred slightly.

Although Chen Haisheng looks young, judging from his tone, he seems to be only a few years older than him, and his cultivation level is inherited.

However, to become the guardian of this Seagod Island, one's original cultivation level wouldn't be too bad. Although he was no match for that soul beast, his judgment wouldn't be too far off.

They thought it would take some effort to find the soul beast, but unexpectedly, Chen Haisheng already had traces of it.

"So, what Brother Chen means?"

Chen Haisheng seemed somewhat hesitant. "That soul beast was quite well-behaved at first, but recently, there have been reports of a large number of sea soul beasts being attacked."

“Every time I arrived, all that was left was a pool of blood, just like the one we had seen before.”

"Only the mermaid princess, with her profound cultivation and the protection of a supreme treasure, was able to hold on until I went to rescue her."

"Even so, it took me a lot of effort to save her, and she was seriously injured."

As Chen Haisheng spoke, he stood up and said, "After meeting Brother Lin, I made some impolite attempts to test him, but through this I learned that Brother Lin is a man of great integrity and righteousness. That is why I am willing to humbly ask Brother Lin to join me in dealing with that soul beast."

As Lin Xiao listened, she also figured out Chen Haisheng's plan.

From the very beginning, after he forced Chen Haisheng to reveal himself, Chen Haisheng was already prepared to ask him for help.

After returning to Seagod Island, Chen Haisheng heard about the novelty of soul tools and suppressed his intention to invite Lin Xiao. Instead, he prepared to use the soul tool to deal with the soul beast on his own.

Now, having learned from Lin Xiao that making and using soul tools is not easy, he has revived his original plan.

Lin Xiao looked at Chen Haisheng without speaking for a moment. If Chen Haisheng had wanted something from her from the beginning, then his polite attitude would make sense.

However... Lin Xiao was still a bit more cautious after his experience with the Holy Spirit Cult.

"If you hadn't encountered me, I wonder how you would have dealt with that soul beast, Brother Chen?"

“If I hadn’t met Brother Lin, I’m afraid I would have fought him to the death.” Chen Haisheng’s eyes changed slightly, and his tone became more determined. “The ocean can encompass the waters of all the worlds.”

"However, if anyone damages the marine ecosystem, as a descendant of the clan that protects the legacy of the sea god, I will naturally take action to resolve the issue."

"This is my mission. Even if I am no match for them, I will fight to the death."

Lin Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly. It has to be said, the light emanating from Chen Haisheng's words at this moment was almost blinding to Lin Xiao.

"Alright." Lin Xiao nodded. "I don't know where that soul beast is located, but I will help Brother Chen in this battle."

Lin Xiao had already suspected that the soul beast that attacked the mermaid clan contained information about fragments of Ilex's divine consciousness, and originally planned to search for its whereabouts.

Now that he was feeling sleepy, Chen Haisheng had just delivered the perfect opportunity, so there was no reason for him to refuse. However, Chen Haisheng was unaware of the situation, and upon hearing this, his face already showed undisguised joy.

"No rush, no rush," Chen Haisheng said, as if speaking to himself. After his breathing had completely calmed down, he looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Brother Lin, please get some rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll head to that soul beast's nest."

"Okay." Lin Xiao nodded in agreement.

A moment later, the food prepared in the city lord's mansion was finally served. The two talked for a long time until late at night before Chen Haisheng left the guest room.

Without the interference of the illumination soul tool, the stars and moon in the night sky can be clearly seen on Poseidon Island. Although the moonlight is not as bright as the sun, it still illuminates the entire city lord's mansion.

Following the moonlight, Chen Haisheng walked to the backyard and knocked on an inconspicuous door.

"come in."

A weathered voice rang out, and Chen Haisheng pushed open the door to enter. Before him stood an extremely aged man, whose features bore a resemblance to Chen Haisheng's, except for his exceptionally long beard, which seemed to reach the ground. "Grandfather."

Chen Haisheng glanced cautiously at the old man in front of him and spoke softly.

"He... agreed?"

The old man spoke, but his voice was weak, as if it might stop at any moment.

“Yes, grandfather.” Chen Haisheng nodded. “Brother Lin agreed to my request without much thought.”

Hearing Chen Haisheng's address, the old man frowned slightly, and his two drooping gray-white eyebrows twitched along with it. "It sounds like you admire him?"

Chen Haisheng remained silent for a long time, as if sighing, then said, "Yes."

"Since that's the case, you can decide for yourself what to do." The old man didn't press further after hearing Chen Haisheng's answer. "After all, you are the one who decides the important matters of the clan now, not me."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

After Chen Haisheng finished speaking, he glanced at the old man again and was about to turn and leave.

"and many more."

"Grandfather, is there anything else?"

"Let's return this to that 'Sea Princess' as well. After all, she is the princess of the sea and has quite a connection with my Sea God Island."

As the old man spoke, he shakily raised his right hand, revealing a sea-blue crystal in his palm, emitting a faint glow.

"This is... the Heart of the Ocean. Didn't the sea princess say it would take a long time for her to recover her strength?"

Chen Haisheng was clearly somewhat surprised as well.

“Don’t forget where you are.” The old man stretched out his right hand, his arm, visible beneath his sleeve, was very thin, but his palm remained steady. “It needs the power of the sea, and in this world, there is no place where the power of the sea is more concentrated than here.”

"With this treasure, the sea princess can also lend you a hand."

Seeing Chen Haisheng hesitate, the old man added, "It's always good to be more prepared, after all, the person you're dealing with is quite strong."

"Yes, grandfather."

Hearing this, Chen Haisheng finally agreed, took the Heart of the Ocean with both hands, and left.

Inside the room, only the old man's sigh could be heard through the door.

With his cloudy eyes slightly open, the old man slowly raised his head and looked ahead. In front of him, on the wall, hung only a huge scroll painting.

Despite his advanced age, he could no longer see clearly what was around him, and even his grandson's face was somewhat unfamiliar to him. But when he looked up, he could still clearly see the figure in the painting.

Long, sea-blue hair cascaded from head to toe, almost completely obscuring the figure's back in the painting. The hair swayed, like the pale blue sheen reflected on the sea.

Outside the room, Chen Haisheng took a deep breath, seemingly inhaling the distant scent of the ocean. After pausing for a moment, he carried the Heart of the Ocean toward the place where the Sea Princess was resting.

Lin Xiao, unaware of what was happening outside, meditated all night and soon dawned.
