Poseidon was nestled in Su Mo's arms, her brows furrowed with weariness, her breathing shallow and even, clearly still asleep.
Su Mo looked down at Poseidon in his arms, his gaze gentle.
He had actually been awake for quite some time, but he hadn't moved, afraid of disturbing Poseidon in his arms.
Just then, Poseidon's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Upon seeing the handsome face before her, her gaze softened instantly.
"Awake?" Su Mo chuckled and rubbed her head.
Poseidon gave a soft "hmm," her voice tinged with the languor of someone who had just woken up.
She didn't get up immediately, but instead snuggled closer to Su Mo, as if she didn't want to leave this warm embrace.
This was completely different from her usual imposing and authoritative high priestess image.
Suddenly, Poseidon raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of reproach, and said softly:
"It's all your fault... I didn't kneel and worship the Sea God today."
Last night, she and Su Mo cultivated almost all night long.
Even with her formidable strength, she was somewhat exhausted.
So, instead of getting up early to worship the sea god as usual, she slept until now.
This was the first time in decades that she had missed morning prayers.
"Oh?" Su Mo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and joked, "I wonder who it was later..."
"You...you're not allowed to say it!"
Poseidon's face flushed instantly, and she quickly raised her hand to cover Su Mo's mouth, preventing him from continuing.
Su Mo pulled her hand down, held it in his palm, and said in a tone full of doting: "Okay, I won't say anything more."
The two then lingered for a long time, until noon, before finally leaving the palace.
For the rest of the days, Su Mo stayed on Poseidon Island.
He cultivated for over a decade and finally reached his current level with great difficulty, so naturally he deserves to enjoy it for a while.
As for the divine examination, there's still plenty of time; we can go later.
……
a few days later.
Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.
A colossal angel statue stood atop the hall, its wings outstretched, overlooking all living beings.
Inside the hall, Qian Xunji sat upright on the papal throne, wearing a papal crown and holding a papal scepter.
Below him stood Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
It is worth mentioning that Yue Guan and Gui Mei are now both level 96 Title Douluo, which has exceeded their original limit.
Of course, with their strength, they could naturally enter the Hall of Worship and become elders of higher status.
But they had no such intention.
The reason is also very simple.
In their view, the future pope will inevitably be the Holy Son Su Mo.
And they are Su Mo's most loyal followers.
Therefore, they waited for Su Mo to become Pope so that they could wholeheartedly assist him and repay his kindness in giving them a second chance at life.
Just then, a paladin clad in silver armor, carrying a secret letter, strode into the Papal Palace.
He came to the center of the hall, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and respectfully presented the secret letter with both hands:
"Your Holiness, a letter has arrived from the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Hanhai City!"
Qian Xunji glanced at the secret letter, then looked at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan understood immediately and appeared in front of the knight in a flash. She took the secret letter and then turned around to hand it to Qian Xunji.
"Go down." Qian Xunji waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The paladin responded, stood up, took a few steps back, and then turned and left the Papal Palace.
At this moment, Qian Xunji opened the secret letter, took out the letter inside, and unfolded it to read it carefully.
His gaze slowly moved across the letter, and his expression gradually changed from nonchalant to serious.
Finally, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The letter stated that the Spirit Hall personnel had unexpectedly discovered an island inhabited by Spirit Masters, but details regarding the specific number of people on the island, their strength distribution, and other relevant information remained unknown.
That island was Poseidon Island.
Poseidon Island is a name that is extremely unfamiliar to most people on the mainland.
Because it is far from the mainland, and the surrounding waters are inhabited by ferocious demonic great white sharks, ordinary soul masters cannot get close to it, let alone land on the island.
Therefore, Poseidon Island is like a secluded paradise, maintaining its independence and mystery for thousands of years.
However, the Spirit Hall's intelligence network is ultimately very powerful.
Not long ago, the person in charge of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Hanhai City overheard rumors about Seagod Island from a merchant who had returned from the ocean. After investigation and confirmation, he finally obtained the general situation of Seagod Island.
"Moon Gate, Ghostly Appearance, what do you think?"
Qianxun quickly sent the secret letter from a distance, and the letter seemed to be held by an invisible hand, floating towards the two of them.
Yue Guan took it first and read it with Gui Mei.
A moment later, Yue Guan raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
He spoke first, his voice sharp:
"Your Holiness, on the entire continent, apart from the two great empires, sects, and some rogue soul masters who dislike being bound, all other soul masters are controlled by the Spirit Hall."
Now that a new gathering place for Soul Masters has been discovered, this island should rightfully be under the control of the Spirit Hall.
The Soul Masters there should also be subject to the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall.
"I am willing to go personally to help the Spirit Hall subdue this overseas territory!"
"I am also willing to go!" Ghost immediately replied.
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the spacious hall, carrying an air of domineering confidence.
"Very well! That's exactly what I was thinking too!"
The glory of the angels will shine on every corner of the continent.
Whether on land or at sea!
Qian Xunji rose from the throne, holding a scepter, his eyes blazing, his voice booming like a bell:
"Ghostly Demon, Moon Pass, you two must immediately go and select two thousand elite Soul Masters to be under your command."
We will set off overseas tomorrow to recruit all the Soul Masters on that island and spread the glory of the Angel God!
Although he didn't know the strength of the Soul Masters on that island, Qian Xunji was full of confidence for the trip.
Now, both Yue Guan and Gui Mei are level 96 titled Douluo, and they also possess 100,000-year soul rings and 100,000-year soul bones.
Looking across the entire continent, Soul Masters who can break through to the Title Douluo level are extremely rare.
Could there possibly be any powerful Soul Masters on a barren overseas island?
Moreover, even if there are one or two titled Douluo on that island, how could they possibly be a match for Chrysanthemum and Ghost?
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei knelt on one knee at the same time, their voices respectful yet powerful.
Both of them had eager expressions on their faces.
Since obtaining the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, they have not made a move.
Now that they finally have a chance to show their skills, both of them are unable to suppress their fighting spirit.
Chapter 138 Attack on Poseidon Island
After Chrysanthemum and Ghost left the Papal Palace, they began to select elites from the Soul Masters directly under the Spirit Hall to form an expedition team.
Before long, the square in front of the Papal Palace was filled with a dense crowd of Soul Masters.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood at the front of the group, conducting the final check.
Yue Guan said, "This voyage is to spread the glory of the Angel God, and each of you is an elite of the Spirit Hall."
If this mission succeeds, you will all be richly rewarded! But if anyone backs down or shirks their duty, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Such a large-scale operation by Wuhun City naturally attracted the attention of many people, including Bibi Dong.
Driven by curiosity, she arrived at the Papal Palace.
"Greetings, teacher." Bibi Dong bowed.
Upon seeing Bibi Dong arrive, Chihiro immediately revealed a kind smile:
"Dong'er, what brings you here?"
"Teacher, what's all that commotion outside? Is the Spirit Hall planning something?"
Bibi Dong asked curiously.
Qian Xunji smiled and, without hiding anything, briefly recounted the events at Seagod Island.
After hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately said, "Teacher, I also want to go."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji's smile faded slightly, replaced by a look of hesitation.
He frowned and said, "Dong'er, the exact strength of that island is still unclear, and everything is still unknown."
"What if something happens to you? How will the teacher explain it to Xiao Mo?"
