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

Chapter 454 Wrong Guess

"Brother Chen, are you saying that the place where that soul beast is located is a small island?"

On the sea, Lin Xiao and Chen Haisheng were walking in the air. Lin Xiao looked down at the Sea Princess and Liya below the surface of the sea, and then turned to look at Chen Haisheng beside her.

“That’s right, it’s a small island.” Chen Haisheng looked into the distance without turning around. “That soul beast seemed to appear out of thin air; I’ve never heard of it before.”

"And after it appeared, the island quickly turned into a strange place, and sea spirit beasts that approached it never appeared again."

"Brother Chen, do you know the exact year it appeared?"

"I don't know the exact time, but it was probably three or four years ago."

Lin Xiao nodded upon hearing this, checking the soul tools on his body, his mind also filled with thoughts.

If that soul beast appeared four years ago, why has it only made a move recently? What has it done during this time?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao shook her head slightly.

He had no recollection of these things from his previous life, and it would be too difficult to fathom the intentions of a soul beast. These unsolved questions could only be answered slowly after he saw it.

Hopefully, his guess was correct and he could find information about the teacher's divine consciousness fragments on it; otherwise, searching for a needle in a haystack would take an unknown amount of time.

Just as Lin Xiao was pondering, the sea princess beneath the surface was also watching him. After a long while, she turned her head and glanced at him with a complicated expression.

"Mother?"

Seemingly noticing the sea princess's gaze, Lia turned to look at her.

"I really don't know what you were thinking. After leaving, you actually went after the human who took the Heart of the Ocean."

“Mom, didn’t we already say that he had no choice in the matter? He returned the Heart of the Ocean later, and he also saved me from this injury.”

"You—you..." The sea princess wanted to say something, but her tone softened after seeing Liya's eyes, "You're just too naive. How can you believe what humans say?"

"But Mom, didn't you say that our Sea God was a human before he became a god?"

“You—” The sea princess was stunned for a moment, “How can these be compared?”

She didn't want to continue the conversation, so she said, "Fine, I'll trust him this time since he saved you. But you, this trip was extremely dangerous. Why didn't you stay on Seagod Island?"

Liya swayed her fishtail, getting closer to the sea princess. "Mom, you were still seriously injured, but you still came out, didn't you?"

"Sigh, didn't I already say that I don't need to take action this time? All we need is for our clan's bloodline to activate the Heart of the Ocean and help from the sidelines."

“My injuries have healed a lot, and I can still manage this. Poseidon Island not only saved me, but also helped us restore the power of the Heart of the Ocean. I can’t refuse to help with this.”

Liya pouted slightly, somewhat dissatisfied. "I'm my mother's daughter. I can activate the Heart of the Ocean too. I can come along and help."

Seeing this, the sea princess finally refrained from saying anything harsh. "Sigh, I really can't do anything with you. But once we get there, you must stay by my side and protect yourself."

"Well, I know mom."

There are few landmarks on the sea. Lin Xiao was not familiar with the ocean and did not know how far he had flown. He only saw the sun set and rise again.

Although the four of them were traveling together, their speed was not as fast as Lin Xiao traveling alone, but it was by no means slow either. The place Chen Haisheng mentioned seemed to be quite far from Poseidon Island.

"Brother Lin, we'll be there soon."

Chen Haisheng and Lin Xiao chatted idly along the way. Suddenly, Chen Haisheng's tone changed, and he gradually stopped. After glancing around, Chen Haisheng looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Brother Lin, although we can't see any trace of that soul beast yet, its senses are extremely sharp. If we go any further, it will discover us."

"Brother Lin, you've been traveling for a day and a night. Would you like to rest for a while?"

Lin Xiao glanced ahead and indeed found nothing. Hearing Chen Haisheng's words, she shook her head again, "That's not necessary."

His "soul core" is a complete world. Although it cannot achieve the endless flow of soul power like a real world, it is far more profound than that of an ordinary soul master.

After all, in terms of soul power alone, he was already on par with Di Tian at level 95.

Upon hearing this, Chen Haisheng glanced at Lin Xiao with some surprise.

With his own cultivation level as a Limit Douluo and the coexistence of two great soul cores within his body, he naturally wouldn't be too tired. However, he was somewhat surprised that Lin Xiao, whose soul power level was lower than his, seemed to have come all the way without any exertion.

“In that case…” Chen Haisheng said, looking down into the sea.

“My daughter and I are sea spirit beasts, and we haven’t used up much soul power on our journey here.” The Sea Princess had obviously overheard what Chen Haisheng had just said to Lin Xiao.

"In that case, everyone, please be careful."

Seeing this, Chen Haisheng nodded, his voice becoming more cautious, his soul power already gathering momentum.

Lin Xiao turned her head slightly to look at him, but quickly looked away, the Styx Embrace shimmering on her body.

Continuing forward, before seeing any trace of the soul beast Chen Haisheng had mentioned, Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed.

With his mental strength, he could already sense a strange aura permeating the sea surface, and vaguely, there seemed to be a sense of familiarity.

Turning to look at Chen Haisheng, and seeing that his expression was normal, Lin Xiao didn't say anything more.

After flying forward for a while, Chen Haisheng slowed down a bit more.

"Brother Lin, have you noticed any changes in your surroundings?"

Lin Xiao remained expressionless and nodded slightly.

"Brother Yilin, do you seem to have noticed anything suspicious about this?"

“There is indeed a bloodthirsty aura.” Lin Xiao said, but his brows remained furrowed.

He sensed something was wrong here even earlier than Chen Haisheng. Countless sea spirit beasts had died nearby, and the aura of bloodlust was extremely strong, indeed somewhat similar to the residual aura he had sensed in the Mermaid Territory.

However, he did not sense anything similar to the fragments of Electrox's consciousness within them.

When he was searching for the second fragment of divine consciousness, he and Electrox were able to react immediately upon merely touching the statue.

But at this moment, they gained nothing, and it was even worse than the sea spirit beast that Lin Xiao encountered outside Dongyang City. At least that sea spirit beast did attract the attention of Lin Xiao and Ilex.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Lin Xiao's thoughts were in turmoil, his expression was unsettled, but his movements never stopped.
