The following day!
Knowing the possibility of cooperating with the Martial Soul Hall people was gone, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar immediately returned to Sea God's Island.....
The Sea Soul Masters responsible for guarding saw the returnee and greeted him with utmost respect, "Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar!"
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar nodded and inquired, "Hm, nothing should have happened on Sea God's Island recently, right?"
Although he left Sea God's Island for a few days, his mind was constantly concerned, fearing another attack from abyssal creatures!
Upon hearing this, the Sea Soul Master replied, "Reporting to the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, although you were gone, each area was managed by the other Sacred Pillars, and nothing unusual occurred!"
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar breathed a sigh of relief, "Is that so, that's good!"
Seeing this, the former continued, "But Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, why did you leave Sea God's Island? If I recall correctly, you seem very opposed to outsiders?"
Upon hearing these words, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar was taken aback, and then he looked at the other with a complex gaze...
The Sea Soul Master swallowed nervously, seemingly realizing something, and said in a panic, "Uh, Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, could it be...my question was confidential?"
"If that's the case, please pretend I said nothing!"
Damn, what was his identity?
To dare inquire about someone as significant as the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar!
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar waved his hand dismissively, saying casually, "It's not really a secret, I left Sea God's Island this time to go to the Martial Soul Hall to discuss with Pope Bibi Dong about jointly opposing the abyssal creatures."
The High Priest did not specially instruct, so clearly, even telling the residents of Sea God's Island wouldn't matter!
The former inhaled sharply...
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar had left to go to the Martial Soul Hall; if the person hadn't personally stated it, he would have doubted it was a rumor!
However, the Sea Soul Master quickly realized something and cautiously inquired, "Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, the abyssal creatures you mentioned, are those the ones that caused the fall of two or three Sacred Pillars on Sea God's Island not long ago?"
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar did not deny it, "Correct, they are abyssal creatures, some powerful abyssal creatures possess intelligence not weaker than humans, and ordinary abyssal creatures, in terms of strength, far exceed soul beasts."
"This is also why the losses were so heavy in that battle."
Speaking of which, his facial expression clearly dimmed a bit...
The former immediately understood and quickly said, "In that case, Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, since you have important matters, I won't inquire further!"
Upon hearing this, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar returned to his senses.....
"Keep vigilant, and do not let any suspicious people enter!"
"For instance, even if it is me entering Sea God's Island, you need to check carefully!"
"Yes, Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar"
Truly worthy of admiration, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar leads by example!
...
Meanwhile, Poseissi, who had her eyes closed, slowly opened them...
"I sensed the aura of the Sea Dragon, he has already entered Sea God's Island, and will probably be here soon."
The other Sacred Pillars were also immediately startled awake...
They all spoke up, "Didn't the Sea Dragon just depart to the Martial Soul Hall the day before yesterday? How has he returned so quickly?"
"Could it be that the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar had conflicts with the Martial Soul Hall, leading to unsuccessful cooperation, and thus hurried back?"
"Who's to say, but even if the cooperation wasn't successful, surely it's the fault of the Martial Soul Hall on their side, it has nothing to do with the Sea Dragon!"
"What's the point in saying all this now, once the Sea Dragon arrives, he can explain it, and we'll know, won't we?"
While everyone discussed, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar had already arrived and stepped inside.....
He clasped his fists and said, "High Priest!"
Poseissi nodded slightly, "Sea Dragon, this trip was hard on you."
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar showed a hint of guilt, "Not hard, everything is for Sea God's Island."
"It's just, this time I let you down, my negotiations with Pope Bibi Dong ran into issues, we didn't reach a cooperation."
Poseissi showed no anger, instead spoke calmly, "No worries, I understand your character, surely this failed cooperation wasn't due to you."
She believed that the former went to the Martial Soul Hall and surely tried hard to negotiate with Bibi Dong!
"Sea Dragon, we all know how troublesome Bibi Dong, no, the Martial Soul Hall can be; the failure this time surely isn't your fault."
"Exactly, if it failed, it failed, we don't have to cooperate with the Martial Soul Hall necessarily!"
"Sea Dragon, although I trust you, saying more would be confusing, why don't you tell us the details, so we have a reference?"
"Yes, Sea Dragon, just tell us openly, what demanding terms did the Martial Soul Hall propose that made you unable to reach an agreement with Bibi Dong?"
Poseissi also felt this made sense and agreed, "Sea Dragon, just as they said, tell us the specifics of the situation."
Upon hearing this, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar glanced at them, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, this is the situation..."
Afterwards, he explained in detail everything that happened at the Martial Soul Hall...
After listening, the Sacred Pillars were utterly furious...
"Goodness, has the Martial Soul Hall gone mad to propose such conditions, if it were me, I would probably curse them out on the spot."
"That's right, the conditions posed by Bibi Dong were completely insincere, just mocking us."
"Hahaha, wanting us to relax management of Sea God's Island, what a fool's dream that is, Sea Dragon, you made the right rejection."
"Didn't expect Bibi Dong to be so shameless, should have known better than to think of cooperating with the Martial Soul Hall!"
Poseissi's gaze also turned cold, "The condition posed by Bibi Dong was indeed too unacceptable, letting Sea God's Island relax management means outsiders could freely enter?"
"This would lead to Sea God's Island being fully exposed to external forces!"
"Sea Dragon, you needn't feel guilty, posing this condition, she might have never intended to cooperate with Sea God's Island!"
The nervous tension of the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar eased considerably, "Yes, High Priest!"
After a pause, he showed concern again, "But...if abyssal creatures really attack in large scale, relying on us alone, it would be hard to withstand!"
"After all, the last time abyssal creatures appeared, we lost two or three Sacred Pillars; if not for your personal intervention, perhaps..."
Poseissi pursed her lips, "No worries, with me overseeing, as long as those abyssal creatures don't break through to God Rank, they'll never harm Sea God's Island one bit!"
Previously it was my oversight, not realizing each abyssal creature possessed such formidable strength!
If I had intervened earlier, perhaps the losses wouldn't have been so painful...
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "With you overseeing, we definitely feel assured, but honestly...I have a thought, not sure if I should say it."
Poseissi seemed surprised, indicating, "Speak your mind, everyone present here is trustworthy!"
