127: Chapter 127 Seagod Island

Hu Liena felt her cheeks burning under Ji Xuan's gaze.

Suppressing the palpitations in her heart, she asked with a hint of shyness: "Your Highness, why do you keep staring at me?"

Ji Xuan collected his thoughts: "It is nothing. Slaughter City is extremely dangerous; that place is not the best choice for your training.

I am preparing to take a few people to Sea God Island. The training environment and resources there are far superior to Slaughter City, and the speed at which you can increase your strength will be several times faster.

Rather than going to Slaughter City, you should come with me to Sea God Island.

Bring your brother Xie Yue along as well, so you two siblings can look after each other."

Hu Liena was stunned, her blush spreading to her ears.

Was Ji Xuan worried about her getting hurt in Slaughter City, and that was why he invited her to go to Sea God Island together?

This sudden concern and invitation made her heart race.

She already harbored feelings for Ji Xuan. Being able to train by his side—never mind that Slaughter City was dangerous, even if it truly held great Opportunities, it could not compare to this invitation from Ji Xuan.

Moreover, Ji Xuan clearly stated that the speed of growth at Sea God Island was far superior to Slaughter City, which was the most critical factor.

If she missed this chance, Ji Xuan would advance rapidly at Sea God Island while she remained trapped in the purgatory of Slaughter City, and the gap between them would only widen.

"What are you thinking about? Are you going?" Ji Xuan asked softly when he saw she didn't respond.

"Ah?" Hu Liena snapped back, blurting out: "I will go, of course I will go!"

"In that case, do you want to go back and tell your teacher, Bibi Dong?" Ji Xuan asked calmly.

"I..." Hu Liena hesitated instantly.

She knew Bibi Dong's temperament too well. If she knew she was going to Sea God Island with Ji Xuan, she likely would not agree and might even stop her directly.

But she could not bear to miss this chance to rapidly increase her strength.

A moment later, Hu Liena shook her head: "No need, Your Highness. When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Hu Liena turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo and bowed in apology: "Sorry, Elder Chrysanthemum. This happened suddenly, I need your help to keep this hidden for a few days, do not let the teacher know."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Nana. I will handle things with Her Holiness the Pope. Increasing your strength is the top priority; she will not blame you."

He was Ji Xuan's subordinate, so he naturally followed Ji Xuan's arrangements.

Besides, he had watched Hu Liena grow up, so he naturally did not want her taking risks in Slaughter City.

Suddenly, Chrysanthemum Douluo remembered something.

He looked at Ji Xuan hesitantly: "Your Highness, I must mention something. Spirit Hall attacked Sea God Island years ago and returned in defeat.

Records say the island is full of experts. As the Saint of Spirit Hall, your status is special. Isn't it too dangerous to go rashly?"

"It is fine." Ji Xuan did not explain further.

"This... alright." Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo said no more.

The Elders of the Elder Hall were unfathomably strong, so even if Sea God Island was powerful, they might not gain the upper hand.

Ji Xuan looked at Hu Liena: "Go call your brother Xie Yue and make sure you get everything ready today."

"Okay, I will go now." Hu Liena nodded firmly and turned to leave.

She had not left her quarters long ago, so returning now would not attract attention.

...

After Hu Liena left, Ji Xuan went straight to a hotel.

After the Saint inauguration ceremony, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and the Shui sisters had not left Spirit City and were staying there.

Ji Xuan arrived and gathered them in a spacious room.

There were sofas in the room.

Ji Xuan sat on the main sofa, with Shui Binger next to him.

After everyone sat down, Ji Xuan scanned them: "Everyone, I will take you to a place for training tomorrow. Use today to get everything ready.

If you need to send messages home, do it soon."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Everyone agreed in unison, unable to hide their joy.

A training ground chosen by Ji Xuan was no ordinary place and would definitely help them increase their strength, so they would not object.

"Brother-in-law, can you reveal where we are going?" Shui Yueer asked curiously.

"Sea God Island."

"Sea God Island?" Everyone looked at each other, confused.

They had clearly never heard of it.

"Correct, that is the territory of the Sea God." Ji Xuan explained slowly: "Once there, each of you will receive trials of different Ranks.

Each time you complete a trial, you will gain Soul Power, or increase the age of your spirit rings, among many other rewards."

"What!" Everyone was shocked beyond measure.

Shui Yueer subconsciously asked: "Brother-in-law, does a god really exist in this World?"

"Naturally." Ji Xuan nodded calmly: "Our Spirit Hall was founded by the Angel God.

The Sea God existed in the same era as the Angel God."

Ji Xuan's words opened a new door for them, raising their understanding to a new height.

"Then do we have a chance to become gods?" Huo Wu's eyes filled with fighting spirit as she asked eagerly.

She had always been more persistent in her pursuit of strength than others.

"Perhaps." Ji Xuan did not give a definitive answer: "Whether you can become a god depends on your own Opportunity and hard work."

Although they did not get a definitive answer, this "perhaps" gave them a new goal.

"Alright, it is getting late. Go back and prepare." Ji Xuan waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

"Heehee, sister, brother-in-law, you two should take it easy. We have to set off for Sea God Island tomorrow."

Shui Yueer, who was the last to leave, looked back and winked playfully.

"Shut up, Yueer." Shui Binger's cheeks flushed instantly, and she glared at her sister in shame and anger.

After everyone else left.

Ji Xuan raised his hand, and a deep blue, strange object appeared in his palm.

Shui Binger asked curiously: "A-Xuan, what is this?"

"Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud." Ji Xuan did not explain further.

He had taken this from the Heaven Dou Empire treasury during the Soul Master Tournament.

Although the treasury was heavily guarded, the defenses were non-existent to him.

Moreover, Emperor Xue Ye was on his deathbed, and Qian Renxue was in charge of most imperial affairs.

Even if the theft of this national treasure was discovered, Emperor Xue Ye would likely be powerless to do anything about it.
