Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 397 "Pirates" Appear

After everyone entered the manor in high spirits, Hu Liena, Feng Xiaotian, and the others emerged from the array by the lake.

Upon seeing Bibi Dong, everyone looked on incredulously.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

Feng Xiaotian and his group immediately bowed to Bibi Dong. Hu Liena originally wanted to call her "teacher," but remembering Ye Liangchen's previous instructions, she immediately changed her address.

"No need for formalities."

Bibi Dong waved her hand and used her soul power to help everyone up.

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Jin Yue'er, and the others, Bibi Dong felt gratified. Just as Ye Liangchen had said, these young people had all become Soul Douluos.

Soon after, Poseidon brought Aly and the others to the manor, and the scene became even more lively.

"Kalich, Aya, go and get some fruit."

"The rest of you will work with me; we're having a big meal today."

Ye Liangchen called on everyone to start boiling water, cook, and wash vegetables, keeping them very busy.

"Yes, Young Master Ye."

The golden generation of Poseidon Island immediately left the manor and returned to the nearest city, Sea Dragon City, to prepare some fruit and wine.

"What a group of energetic young people! It feels like Xiao Chen has already turned these young people into chefs."

"Your Holiness, you are right. Xiao Chen once said that eating, drinking and having fun is his main job, and becoming a Soul Master is just his hobby. Look at those three 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts, they have all been turned into gluttons by Xiao Chen."

"Yali, that's life. Think about all these years we've lived in loneliness and solitude. If it weren't for Xiaochen and the others coming to Poseidon Island, we wouldn't have been able to experience such a wonderful life."

Bibi Dong, Poseidon, and Yali sat in the pavilion, watching Ye Liangchen and his group busily engaged in their activities, and felt a sense of joy.

"Cheers..."

Two hours later, under Ye Liangchen's arrangement, two tables of delicious food were prepared, and everyone excitedly enjoyed the seafood feast.

Bibi Dong was also eating such a delicious seafood feast for the first time, and she felt particularly wonderful.

"Xiao Chen, I need your help with my seventh test. I wonder if you can purify the evil power of the Slaughter City?"

After the banquet, Bibi Dong explained her purpose to Ye Liangchen.

"What is the evil power of the Killing City?"

Poseidon, Shui Bing'er, and their group asked curiously.

"The City of Slaughter was originally a prison and the place where the Asura God inherited his legacy, but it was corrupted by the Rakshasa God's divine power many years ago."

"The Rakshasa God is an evil god who cultivates using the power of negative emotions. She is also a first-level main god. The Rakshasa God was originally a god under the Asura God, but she had some conflicts with the Asura God. So she used her divine power to pollute the Slaughter City, making the people and soul masters living there extremely greedy and bloodthirsty, causing the Slaughter City to be in chaos."

Bibi Dong explained to everyone the current situation of the Rakshasa God and the City of Slaughter. She said that if Ye Liangchen hadn't intervened back then, she wouldn't know what state she would be in now, having been bewitched by the Rakshasa God.

"Xiao Chen, how will you purify the evil power of the Rakshasa God?"

Poseidon had spent so much time with Ye Liangchen, and had never seen the little guy have the ability to purify evil forces.

"The Dragon King of Light bestowed upon me a million-year-old soul skill called the Light of Purification, which can purify all evil forces."

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen directly summoned the Goddess of Life Martial Soul and activated the Purification Light, allowing everyone to experience the magic of this soul skill.

"Wow! This power is truly divine, it makes my whole body feel warm."

"It feels like my soul has been elevated, it's so comfortable!..."

At this moment, everyone was enveloped in golden, holy light and felt incredibly comfortable.

"Goddess, my purifying light should be able to cleanse the evil power of the Slaughter City, right?"

Ye Liangchen used his soul to awaken the divine will of the Goddess of Life, to see what suggestions she had.

"Yes! This Purifying Light can indeed purify the evil power of the Slaughter City. When you use it together with the Life Domain or Holy Light Healing Technique, the effect will be even better. I suggest you bring Qian Renxue with you. Her Angelic Martial Soul has the holy power to restrain the Rakshasa God, which will make it even faster."

The Goddess of Life suggested to Ye Liangchen that purifying the evil forces of the entire Killing City was no small matter.

"Thank you, Goddess Sister, I understand."

Ye Liangchen nodded. He had not yet become a god, and it would definitely take a long time for him to purify the evil power of the entire Slaughter City by himself alone.

"Sect Master, shall we go back with you?"

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and the others have been on Poseidon Island for more than three years, and they are eager to go back with Ye Liangchen to see their families.

"Wait until I come back and finish my eighth exam, then we'll go back to the mainland together."

"My eighth test is to recruit the wife of the Deep Sea Demon King as the guardian beast of Sea God Island. The Sea God once said that the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has at least 30 years of cultivation. During this time, you can go into the sea to help me find out, but you must be careful."

Ye Liangchen had no information whatsoever about where the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife was hiding, and the Sea God had given no hints. Finding his target in the vast ocean would be quite difficult.

"A sea spirit beast that's over 30 years old? Its cultivation level is at least comparable to a level 97 Title Douluo in humans."

When Bibi Dong heard that Ye Liangchen's eighth test was actually to subdue a deep-sea demon whale with a cultivation level of over 300,000 years, she immediately found it particularly interesting.

"Do you think the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife might be in the Demon Whale Sea?"

"I don't know, let's go check out that area later!"

Jin Ling'er, Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling exchanged glances. Assisting Ye Liangchen in subduing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife was also their eighth test. If they could complete this test, they might even receive a level one soul power reward.

"Ye Liangchen, leave the matter of finding out about the Deep Sea Demon Whale's wife to me. I will send out the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan to investigate in the deep sea."

Xiao Bai patted his chest and volunteered to take on the task of being a detective.

"Xiao Chen, I will have the sea witch inform the mermaid clan to help search."

Poseidon told Ye Liangchen not to worry, that if everyone worked together, they would definitely find it.

……

The next morning, Ye Liangchen bid farewell to Shui Bing'er and the others, and then, with Bibi Dong and the two great soul beasts, headed towards Seahorse City.

"Whoosh..."

To increase speed, Ye Liangchen activated his sword flight skill, carrying the three of them at an altitude of 1,000 meters.

"This feels so good."

Standing behind Ye Liangchen, Bibi Dong watched the mountains and land rushing past her feet and felt as if she were flying into the clouds.

As a 100,000-year-old blue-scaled dragon, Xiao Lan had never flown up a thousand meters in the sky before. For a moment, she was a little afraid of heights and kept her eyes tightly closed the whole time, not daring to look down.

"Haha...! Little Blue, you can't handle this? You can't even handle such a small height. How about your master throws you down? You can run around on the ground by yourself?"

Shadow Demon turned around and saw that Little Blue's body was trembling a little. She found it particularly funny, and then cast a soul power shield to cover the opponent.

"Xiao Lan, you should boldly open your eyes and look down. You'll get used to it after a few times," Ye Liangchen reminded Xiao Lan, urging her not to be a coward.

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Lan obeyed Ye Liangchen's orders, then opened her eyes and looked down.

"Pfft...!"

Bibi Dong looked at the two 10-year-old soul beasts. Yingmei was lively and sexy, while Xiaolan, after transforming into human form, was a very handsome man, but his personality was like a girl's, very quiet. She found it particularly interesting.

"Shadow Demon, Little Blue, how long can you maintain your human form?"

Bibi Dong knew that these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts could transform into human form, but they were not truly undergoing a transformation and rebirth; they were only temporarily transforming into human form.

"Your Holiness! I can now maintain my human form for 15 hours, while Little Blue can only maintain it for 5 hours."

"As our cultivation level increases, the time it takes us to transform into human form will also be longer."

Yingmei introduced her and Xiaolan's abilities to Bibi Dong.

"That's pretty good. You're doing well. At least you have enough strength to protect yourselves in the human world. If you were to transform and rebuild your cultivation, you would be a mobile 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone."

Bibi Dong now knows that after Ye Liangchen put these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts into a mysterious spatial treasure, they automatically became his pets and would never betray him. It's simply amazing. In this way, these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts are equivalent to two Super Douluo henchmen.

……

Upon arriving at the coast, Ye Liangchen saw no ships heading out to sea, so he had Xiao Lan revert to her Blue Scaled Flood Dragon form and lead the three of them across the ocean.

Poseidon Island is thousands of kilometers away from the mainland. If I were to carry the three of them and fly the whole way, it would consume too much of my soul power. It would be much more comfortable to have this dragon carry everyone across the sea.

"thump……"

"Master, come on up! We'll reach the mainland in three days at most."

Little Blue leaped into the sea and instantly transformed into a 30-meter-long blue-scaled dragon.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen waved his hand, and with Bibi Dong and Ying Mei, jumped onto Xiao Lan's head.

"Splash..."

Little Blue swung its huge tail and sped towards the depths of the sea, leaving a trail of huge splashes behind it. The group of demonic great white sharks guarding the perimeter of Seagod Island made way for it.

In fact, these ten-thousand-year-old demonic soul great white sharks dared not rely on this dragon, which was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast even more powerful than the king of demonic soul great white sharks.

"Little Blue, your true form is way too big."

Bibi Dong looked at the 30-meter-long dragon, whose head alone was seven or eight meters long. The visual effect was too shocking. If ordinary people on the mainland saw such a big guy, they would probably be scared to death.

"Your Holiness, what is this? The deep-sea demon whale king that my master captured before, whose cultivation was nearly a million years old, was 200 meters long. It could swallow me whole with just one open mouth. Compared to that big, stupid fish, I am nothing."

Seeing Bibi Dong's surprise at her true form, Xiao Lan thought to herself: This woman really hasn't seen the world.

"Xiao Chen, is that Deep Sea Demon Whale King in your spatial treasure? When are you going to take it out and let me see it?"

Bibi Dong had never heard of any soul beast exceeding 200 meters in length, so she was very curious.

"Master has already sacrificed that deep-sea demon whale king to Miss Yue'er. You should have seen her ninth golden soul ring before, which is the soul ring of that big dumb fish."

Yingmei felt a little regretful about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King sacrificing himself to Shuiyue'er. If Shuiyue'er had killed that big, stupid fish directly, she could have absorbed some of the energy from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body.

"If that's the case, then Yue'er's strength is quite remarkable now."

Bibi Dong only just remembered that Shui Yue'er's ninth spirit ring was indeed a gold one. With that girl's strength, she could be considered to be at the pinnacle of the spirit master world.

"She is indeed very strong. Sister Yue'er is currently level 97. Apart from Limit Douluo, there should be no one who can rival her."

Ye Liangchen didn't know how strong Shui Yue'er was now, but he figured she could probably easily defeat a powerhouse like the Golden Crocodile Old Man.

"That girl really makes us women proud. She seems to be only two years older than you, so she's only 22 now."

"When Tang Dachui became a Title Douluo, he was already 44 years old and was known as the youngest Title Douluo. Now that I think about it, he was nothing."

Bibi Dong exclaimed that today's young people are truly remarkable; the older generation of strong individuals have all been swept aside by these young people.

……

The Blue-Scaled Flood Dragon was very fast, and three days later, it had already reached the sea area dozens of miles away from Hanhai City.

As they approached the human city, Ye Liangchen had Xiao Lan transform into human form, then activated his sword-flying skill, carrying the three of them up a thousand meters into the air, heading towards Hanhai City.

"Splash..."

When the group flew to the sea area about ten miles away from Hanhai City, they found three ships arranged in a triangular formation, surrounding a large ship that was 80 meters long.

"Bang bang..."

As the three ships approached, a group of people emerged from the middle ship, jumped into the sea, and then unleashed their soul skills to attack the other three ships.

At that moment, the pirates on the three ships were firing arrows and using catapults to throw hundreds of pounds of stones at each other.

"Hey, isn't that Purple Pearl? She's become a Soul Douluo now?"

Ye Liangchen's eyes flashed with golden light as he glanced at the battle scene on the sea. He spotted Zi Zhenzhu's fiery figure, and there seemed to be another Title Douluo on the ship in the middle. However, he did not make a move at the moment, but stood on the bow of the ship.

"Xiao Chen, Zi Zhenzhu and the others have been attacked. The enemy is pirates disguised as members of two great empires," Bibi Dong explained.

"Master, let us make our move!" Shadow Demon and Little Blue rubbed their hands together, eager to get down to business.

"No need. The three of you come down to our boat. I'll deal with those clowns."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he immediately swooped down and flew to a height of about 100 meters above one of the pirate ships.

"Opening Mountain Seal"

When Ye Liangchen heard Bibi Dong say that these pirates were disguised as soldiers from two great empires and that they were carrying bows and arrows and catapults, it was clear that these pirates were the army of the empires. So Ye Liangchen didn't hold back and directly slammed down with the Mountain-Opening Seal.

"Whoosh... Bang..."

As the golden seal slammed down, the pirate ship was instantly smashed to pieces, and the fate of the people on board remained unknown.

"What happened?"

Purple Pearl and her group, who were engaged in battle, were stunned by the sight before them.

"Purple Pearl, bring people back quickly."

At this moment, Bibi Dong, along with Yingmei and Xiaolan, landed on the large ship in the middle and immediately ordered Zizhenzhu and the others to return.

"Oh! Everyone, hurry back!"

Upon hearing that the voice belonged to a woman, Purple Pearl immediately turned around and saw Golden Eagle Douluo Luo Hao standing respectfully behind the woman. She immediately realized that the Pope had arrived, so Purple Pearl immediately called her subordinates to swim towards the large ship.

"Run! A super strong expert has made a move!"

Two other groups of pirates, a hundred meters away, were terrified when they saw Ye Liangchen flying in the sky. They then urged their crew to set sail and leave immediately.

"Sir, we are just passing by, please let us go."

At this moment, the leaders of the two pirate ships went up to the deck and pleaded with Ye Liangchen for mercy.

"Whoosh..."

"Opening Mountain Seal"

Ye Liangchen did not answer, but flew directly to the airspace above one of the ships and struck down with another Mountain-Splitting Seal.

"Ah...no!"

"Why did we take on this mission?"

"Bang... Crash..."

Faced with that golden seal covered in runes, everyone on the pirate ship was filled with despair. The next moment, the entire ship was instantly smashed to pieces by the mountain-splitting seal, and everyone on board was killed instantly and fell into the sea.

"You...you stay away!"

At this moment, the pirates on the last ship were even more desperate, and at the same time they cried out in their hearts: Why were we so stupid? Why did we play the role of pirates?

"Bang……"

Without saying a word, Ye Liangchen caught up with another pirate ship and destroyed it with another Mountain-Splitting Seal.

"Your Holiness, what skill is the golden seal that the Pavilion Master unleashed?"

At this moment, the Golden Eagle Douluo behind Bibi Dong was stunned by Ye Liangchen's powerful skills, and his eyes showed admiration.

"I don't know either." Bibi Dong waved her hand helplessly. Who knows what kind of amazing skill the little guy has come up with this time?

"That's a divine technique that Master created himself a couple of years ago, called Mountain-Splitting Seal. There are a few more moves after that, each more powerful than the last."

"When Master used the Five Seals Combination Attack at sea before, it directly created towering waves tens of meters high. The scene was truly awe-inspiring."

Yingmei and Xiaolan had once witnessed Ye Liangchen unleash the complete Emperor Seal Technique in the ocean, and its power was simply earth-shattering. Now they also wanted to learn this divine skill from Ye Liangchen, but unfortunately, they were soul beasts and their time in human form was too short. As a result, they simply did not have enough time to comprehend this divine skill.

"A self-created divine skill? This kid is really amazing."

Bibi Dong remembered that Poseidon seemed to know this move too, so Ye Liangchen must have taught her. Thinking of this, Bibi Dong said to herself in a coquettish tone: You brat, you actually taught Poseidon this divine skill, so I, as your godmother, have to learn a few moves from you too.

"Purple Pearl, what are you all standing there for? Get everyone back on the ship right now!"

After Ye Liangchen dealt with the three pirate ships, he saw Zi Zhenzhu and her men staring blankly at him, so he gave them a reminder.

"Oh! Lord, you're so handsome!"

When Zi Zhenzhu saw Ye Liangchen arrive, she was incredibly excited.

"These pirates are equipped with bows and arrows and catapults, and appear to be the imperial army in disguise."

After Ye Liangchen flew onto the ship, he shared his views with everyone.

"Sect Master, you guessed correctly. These pirates are actually Imperial Army soldiers in disguise. It seems that the Star Luo Empire and the Three Upper Sects are also involved, but they did not send any direct disciples."

"Our fleet's transportation business is booming, and the two great empires and the three upper sects are very envious. Since they can't get a piece of this fat meat, they try every means to sabotage it."

"This is the tenth attack we've ever suffered. These soldiers are really desperate. Every time they come to attack us, they fail, but they still persist and come to harass us again every now and then."

Luo Hao and Zi Zhenzhu explained the situation of a pirate to Ye Liangchen.

"The fleet is transporting such a big piece of meat, they're bound to be envious. If they dare to come, we'll kill them. After all, we're killing pirates."

Ye Liangchen calmly said, "Since the two great empires want to play, then let's play along."

"In the past, they also colluded with powerful members of the Rakshasa Cult to rob our fleet, causing us some losses."

"However, the Rakshasa Cult suddenly stopped operating some time ago. I don't know why. And now there are very few traces of Rakshasa Cult members on the mainland. They seem to be afraid of something."

Bibi Dong revealed the intelligence gathered by the Spirit Hall, and the current situation of Rakshasa Island has left everyone puzzled.

"Of course they're afraid of their owner!"

Yingmei and Xiaolan said in unison, recalling the Blood-Eyed Douluo's sneak attack on Seagod Island, which could be described as a complete disaster.

"Oh! What's going on? Tell me about it," Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"In the southern waters of Purple Spirit Island, I killed a group of people from Rakshasa Island, including a level 96 Title Douluo and a peak Soul Douluo. Rakshasa Island thought it was the Sea God's doing. Blood-Eyed Douluo led three 100,000-year-old soul beasts to Sea God Island, but we killed them all. I captured the three 100,000-year-old sea soul beasts alive... Blood-Eyed Douluo was later beaten half to death by me and Senior Poseidon, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"It's likely that Blood-Eyed Douluo was terrified of us, and after he fled back to Rakshasa Island, he ordered his men not to go out."

Ye Liangchen described the scene of beating up the Blood-Eyed Douluo to everyone, and now, looking back, he felt it was particularly fun.

"No wonder Rakshasa Island is so peaceful now, it turns out it was you who made the move."

Bibi Dong recalled how Qian Daoliu and the others could only manage a draw against Blood-Eyed Douluo, while Ye Liangchen severely injured him with a single move. The difference in skill was simply too great.

"Master! You are amazing!"

When Luo Hao and Zi Zhenzhu heard what Ye Liangchen had done, they were incredibly excited. Killing a Super Douluo and injuring a demigod were things they couldn't even imagine.
