Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Bo Saixi paused, then remained silent for a moment before shaking her head and saying:
"No, there is no outsider named Tang San on Sea God Island. Holy Son Bai Yu has come to the wrong place. Please return."
Bo Saixi's words were actually a clever trick; she said there was no outsider named Tang San on the island.
However, Tang San has already begun the Nine Trials of the Sea God, which is equivalent to joining Sea God Island. Therefore, he can no longer be considered an outsider, but rather an islander.
Bai Yu frowned, unsure whether Bo Saixi was telling the truth or not. After all, this woman had feelings for Tang Chen, and it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't lie to protect Tang San for Tang Chen's sake.
Then Bai Yu reached for the teapot, poured Bo Saixi a cup of tea, and said as he did so:
"If that's the case, then it seems I've come to the wrong place. However, I'm still quite curious about this sacred place of the Sea Soul Masters."
"I wonder if the High Priest would allow me to visit the island? Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, and I won't cause any trouble on Sea God Island."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Bo Saixi shook her head without hesitation, indicating her disagreement.
"No, Sea God Island has long had rules that people from the mainland are not allowed to approach, especially since you are a member of Spirit Hall."
"So, Holy Son Bai Yu, you'd better leave as soon as possible!"
Looking at the resolute expression on Poseidon's face, Bai Yu sighed softly and said in a low voice:
"Why is the High Priest so persistent? You know perfectly well that my only reason for wanting to go to Sea God Island is to find Tang San."
"I promise you, whether I find him or not, I will not damage a single tree or blade of grass on the island."
"But if the High Priest insists on stopping me, then please forgive my rudeness, but I will force my way into Sea God Island."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Bo Saixi's gaze sharpened, and she quickly retreated a distance, unleashing a powerful surge of soul power.
"Rules are rules, and no one can break them. If you want to force your way onto Sea God Island, then beat me first!"
Bai Yu glanced at Bo Saixi, who looked like she was facing a formidable enemy, and became even more convinced that Tang San was on Sea God Island.
After all, if Tang San weren't there, Bo Saixi wouldn't have tried so hard to stop him. It's just an island, not like he's trying to kill her.
Then Bai Yu stood up and said softly:
"Is it really necessary? Tang San is just a nobody to you. Why would you risk your life for him?"
Bo Saixi didn't speak, but stared intently at Bai Yu, his aura growing increasingly violent.
To be honest, Bo Saixi had her own unspoken grievances. She didn't actually want to fight Bai Yu, even though Tang Chen's death was related to Bai Yu.
But no matter how important this connection was, it was Tang Chen who went and delivered the kill himself, and even if he hadn't gone and delivered the kill, Tang Chen wouldn't have lived much longer anyway.
Therefore, Bo Saixi didn't resent Bai Yu that much. Since she wasn't willing to fight Bai Yu for Tang Chen, why would she fight to the death for Tang San?
Even if Tang San is Tang Chen's great-grandson, he has nothing to do with Bo Saixi.
There is a reason for this, of course. The reason is that Tang San is the successor chosen by the Sea God, and as the High Priestess, she cannot hand him over under any circumstances.
On Tang San's first day on Seagod Island, when he requested to receive the Sea God's inheritance, Bo Saixi wanted to refuse him.
After all, Tang San already possessed the inheritance of the Asura God, so how could he possibly inherit the power of the Sea God?
But before Bo Saixi could speak, the Sea God sent her a divine decree, instructing her to let Tang San undergo the Sea God's Nine Trials and not to obstruct him.
As the high priest serving the Sea God, she naturally wouldn't question the Sea God's decision. So, Tang San, with his fresh and beautiful appearance, became the sea god's successor.
(TL: fresh and beautiful? Did he somehow evolve his martial soul again?)
And she, Bo Saixi, must protect this heir; if anything happens to Tang San, it will be her dereliction of duty.
Bai Yu looked at Bo Saixi, who was ready to make a move at any moment, and shook his head helplessly.
"Since the High Priest insists on a battle, then Bai Yu will say no more. Today, I must set foot on Sea God Island."
"Seventh Soul Skill, True Form of the Sea God!"
"Second Soul Skill, Ocean Ripple!"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Boundless Ocean!"
Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Bo Saixi suddenly made her move, starting with her Martial Soul True Form, combined with control, weakening, and attack.
A giant wave, hundreds of meters high, formed directly in front of Bai Yu, its shape obscuring the sky and the sun, quite terrifying.
Bai Yu's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his right hand, then gently wiped it.
"Water element, the lord of all waters!"
As Bai Yu moved, the giant wave in front of him disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed, and the turbulent sea became calm.
Then Bai Yu soared into the air, reaching the same height as Bo Saixi, and chuckled softly.
"Hehe, High Priest, there's no need to resort to such methods. Water control is one of my specialties."
"When I become a god, I will be the master of all things, and all the elements in the world will be under my control. At that time, even if the Sea God himself stands in front of me, the sea will not listen to him."
"Furthermore, judging from your strength, it should have reached level 100. Why don't you use divine power?"
"Even if you only use divine power to fight me in close combat, it would be much more effective than this water control technique."
Bo Saixi 's ace flushed red. She knew she was no match for Bai Yu, but she hadn't expected the difference in skill to be so great.
That move just now, aside from the hidden divine power, was already her most powerful move. After all, her ninth soul skill, Descent of the Sea God, summons the divine thought of the Sea God to fight on her behalf.
But now she's trying to avoid it, so naturally she can't use it.
But her strongest move was completely neutralized by Bai Yu with a casual flick of his wrist, having no effect whatsoever.
How could she not be disheartened? But there was nothing she could do if she couldn't win. Rather than handing Tang San over to Bai Yu and then being troubled by the Sea God, she might as well fight Bai Yu.
After all, no matter how powerful Bai Yu is, at most it can only kill her. But if it angers the Sea God, she, as the high priest, might not be able to die even if she wanted to.
Thinking of this, Bo Saixi gritted her teeth, unleashed her divine power, brandished her scepter, and charged forward to engage Bai Yu in close combat.
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this woman was really obedient; she would engage in close combat if told to.
However, while melee combat is somewhat useful against Bai Yu, it's not very effective, since Bai Yu has been playing melee combat for many years.
For a long time, he fought bare-handed; it was only after his battle with Chu Huai that he began to wield a sword.
While Bo Saixi's melee combat isn't weak, she's actually positioned as a mid-to-long-range mage, and melee combat isn't her strong suit.
Therefore, even though Bai Yu did not use the power of laws during the battle, he did not even take out his martial soul, the Hongming Blade.
Bo Saixi was also at a disadvantage, or rather, she was completely overwhelmed and had no chance to fight back.
Even so, it was only because she possessed a divine body that she had some advantage in strength; otherwise, she would have already been defeated.
