Xu Sheng had not expected the former's reaction to be so intense, and immediately tried to reassure, "Don't worry, Elder Gui, this Great Priest will only make a move against those from the Martial Soul Hall who harbored ill intentions. As long as we do not do anything to harm the interests of Sea God's Island, she will refrain from taking action!"
Of course, it was more about earning the trust of the other party.
Otherwise, even if she didn't take action, they would likely have been expelled from Sea God's Island!
Who knew, Gui Mei covered his forehead and gritted his teeth, "Xu Sheng, oh Xu Sheng, you must have been deceived by someone. The Great Priest Poseissi might not take action, but what about those Seven Sacred Pillars below her?"
"If they make a move against you, it still wouldn't count as breaking their promise!"
It's well known that the Seven Sacred Pillars, not the Great Priest Poseissi, are responsible for most of the killings of Martial Soul Hall members!
Anyone discovered by them has only one path to death; there are simply no other alternatives!
After pausing, he urgently reminded, "Quickly, while the Seven Sacred Pillars haven't arrived, we must leave Sea God's Island immediately!"
He did not trust the people of Sea God's Island in the slightest!
Especially since that Poseissi had so readily agreed to Xu Sheng's request, it was even more peculiar!
Leaving now, they could perhaps still grasp a sliver of hope for survival!
However, the next second, an ethereal voice suddenly resonated within his Sea of Consciousness...
"You must be Gui Mei from the Martial Soul Hall, rest assured, I will not take action against you, nor will the Seven Sacred Pillars. This is a promise from the Great Priest of Sea God's Island!"
"Moreover, if it were indeed necessary for me to move against you, you wouldn't still be alive standing here!"
These brief words significantly increased Gui Mei's pressure; not only did sweat form on his forehead, but his legs also began to tremble involuntarily...
Murmuring to himself, "Is... Is this the power of the Great Priest of Sea God's Island? Just a single sentence can make me feel immobilized!"
As the pressure gradually dissipated, he also calmed down...
Indeed, even though he had concealed his aura, he had still been precisely targeted by the Great Priest...
If she had truly intended to take action, now would have been the best opportunity; there was no need to waste time like this!
Thinking this, he bowed slightly, making a gesture of cupped fists in the air, "I understand, thank you, senior, for your magnanimity!"
Seeing this scene, Xu Sheng also guessed something...
He quietly reasoned, "Hmm? Did Poseissi use her spiritual power to directly communicate with him? Otherwise, why would his attitude change so quickly!"
Gui Mei stood up again, patting his chest, "Whew... Truly worthy of being the Great Priest of Sea God's Island, such strength is comparable even to the Grand Elder of the Worship Hall!"
"But at least, we've managed to save our lives!"
Xu Sheng shrugged his shoulders, "Elder Gui, I already told you before, the Great Priest won't make a move!"
Gui Mei, however, didn't want to talk more, and urged, "Ah, stop talking, since it's all settled, let's hurry up and go!"
Xu Sheng was also stunned, "Go? According to the Great Priest, she wants us to stay here for a while!"
Gui Mei's eyes widened, "Stay... stay here?"
The Great Priest of Sea God's Island, not only refraining from taking action against them but even allowing them to stay!
He suspected he might be hallucinating!
Xu Sheng affirmed again, "Yes... stay here, after all, it's not possible for us to go back to the arena."
As they spoke, a maid also approached them...
With a hint of apology, she said, "Gentlemen, thank you for waiting, as per the Great Priest's instructions, I will take you to your resting place, please follow me!"
Having said that, she led them in a certain direction...
Gui Mei saw the situation and asked in a low voice, "Xu Sheng, are we really going to stay here? Isn't this a bit..."
Xu Sheng was somewhat accustomed to the former's actions, "Elder Gui, you are being too cautious. Since we are here, let us settle in!"
Gui Mei had already said countless times along the way how dangerous Sea God's Island was...
Although it's not a bad thing, one could grow tired of hearing it...
Knowing he couldn't change the former's decision, Gui Mei could only drop the subject, "Eh, alright then."
If the former intended to stay, he would stay as well!
Xu Sheng nodded, then followed the maid who had already walked some distance ahead...
...
The next day!
Great Priest Poseidon gathered the Seven Sacred Pillars...
On the way!
Sea Spear Douluo said curiously, "The Great Priest actually took the initiative to summon us, which is truly unusual. I wonder what it's for!"
Starfish Douluo instinctively responded, "No matter what it is, we must take it seriously. After all, the Great Priest is the most authoritative person on Sea God's Island. She wouldn't summon us for something meaningless!"
Sea Illusion Douluo propped up his chin, pondering, "That's true, but hasn't the Great Priest forgotten about our tests lately? Well... although it's just been a one-sided beating!"
Sea Maiden Douluo blinked her beautiful eyes and cautioned, "Shh... Do you want to die? It's our honor to be guided by the Great Priest in our cultivation. How can you say that!"
"Besides, what do you mean by one-sided beating? We did try to counterattack, though it was ineffective!"
Even when they joined forces, they could only hold on for a few minutes under the attacks of Great Priest Poseidon...
Nevertheless, this also demonstrated the terrifying strength of the opponent!
Sea Horse Douluo sighed, "Everyone, keep your voices down. Let's not disgrace the Seven Sacred Pillars!"
Then, his gaze turned to Sea Dragon Douluo, "Sea Dragon, I heard that in your jurisdiction, another batch of spies from Martial Soul Hall was discovered?"
Sea Dragon Douluo was not surprised and nodded in response, "Yes... but I have already executed them on the spot. However, how these people from Martial Soul Hall entered Sea God's Island is puzzling!"
Upon hearing this, Sea Horse Douluo immediately covered his mouth and coughed, "Sea Dragon Douluo, perhaps let's not discuss this matter."
How did they enter?
There was no need to wonder, it was definitely Great Priest Poseidon who intentionally let them in, perhaps to test whether they had been slacking off!
Sea Dragon Douluo seemed to also realize something and did not continue the topic...
After walking silently for a while, they arrived outside the palace...
Sea Dragon Douluo stepped to the forefront and loudly announced, "Great Priest, we have arrived!"
"Come in!"
Having been granted permission, they quickly entered...
Upon clearly seeing Poseissi ahead, Sea Dragon Douluo asked again, "Great Priest, what is the reason for summoning us this time?"
Poseissi's gaze settled on all of them as she said word by word, "This time, I called you here to discuss a matter concerning the outsiders!"
Upon hearing this, the Seven Sacred Pillars all had a foreboding feeling...
