บท 3643: Chapter 3889

Having gained their agreement, Ning Fengzhi also stood up, "Then I shall dispatch a Sect Elder to depart for Martial Soul City immediately, hoping to ease the relations between both parties before things further deteriorate!"

Following that, he turned to Gu Rong, "Additionally, I must trouble Uncle Bone once again to accompany me to the other two great sects!"

Upon hearing this, just as Gu Rong was about to respond, Chen Xin interjected first, "I should go this time. If those fellows from the other two great sects still don't plan to change their plans, I must give them a good scolding!"

Ning Fengzhi showed several signs of hesitation, "This..."

In terms of power, Uncle Sword was certainly stronger than Uncle Bone, which was why he had asked the former to take charge of the sect!

Since the other party had volunteered, it seemed inappropriate to refuse!

Noticing what he was thinking, Gu Rong took over the conversation, "Since he has put it that way, let's settle it like this. I will take care of the sect's matters!"

Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to change his mind, "This... Very well, then the matters of the sect will trouble Uncle Bone. Uncle Sword will accompany me to the other two great sects!"

"There's no time to delay, let's depart immediately..."

However, the discourse was again interrupted by the entrance of a senior sect disciple...

"Re... Report to the Sect Master, the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire has arrived!"

Ning Fengzhi frowned upon hearing this, "Qing He has come? Why exactly at this time!"

If it was any other day, he would of course be delighted by a visit from his disciple!

Yet, with the need to deal with the affairs of the upper three families and Martial Soul Hall, there really was no time to attend to him!

Gu Rong and Chen Xin remained silent, just turning their gazes toward him...

Resigned, Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Very well, let the Crown Prince in!"

To turn him away at the door would be a slap in the face to the Tian Dou Imperial Family!

No matter the reason, he must meet with him!

Following the departure of this disciple, it wasn't long before Xue Qinghe entered the hall...

Seeing Ning Fengzhi and the other two standing, he respectfully said, "Teacher, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong merely nodded in response...

Ning Fengzhi managed a forced smile, "Qing He, I didn't expect you to come!"

Xue Qinghe immediately realized something, "Qing He did not inform in advance, please don't blame me, teacher!"

"However, it seems like teacher and the two seniors are in a hurry to leave!"

Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Qing He, to be honest, I was just preparing to make a trip to Hao Tian Clan and Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect with Uncle Sword!"

Xue Qinghe was slightly surprised, "Teacher personally going to the other two great sects, is there some important matter that needs discussion?"

Between the upper three families, it was uncommon to gather like this, usually, only a disciple was sent to deliver messages!

Ning Fengzhi did not elaborate, only nodding subtly...

Then it dawned on Xue Qinghe, "This... I see, so this was an inopportune time for Qing He to arrive."

He then proposed, "How about this, teacher, you go ahead and deal with the important matters. Qing He will return to the imperial palace and visit another time!"

In such a situation, it was best to show discernment; staying might affect their impression of him!

Ning Fengzhi was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up...

"Wait... Qing He, if you don't mind, how about accompanying me to Hao Tian Clan and Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect?"

Xue Qinghe hesitated, "Teacher, is that appropriate? After all, this is a major affair between the upper three sects, and I am merely an outsider."

Seeing a chance, Ning Fengzhi added, "There's nothing inappropriate about it, after all, it's not any secret, and besides, don't forget that you are the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire!"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong, although they did not fully understand, maintained their silence...

The former must have his reasons for acting this way!

Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered for a moment, obviously not rejecting the suggestion...

"Since the teacher has already spoken, Qing He shall respectfully comply!"

This was a good opportunity to probe into what the upper three families were planning to discuss!

Ning Fengzhi sighed with relief and patted his shoulder, "Alright, Qing He, prepare yourself, we're departing immediately!"

With Xue Qinghe, a representative of the royal household present, his own words would surely carry more conviction!

...

Meanwhile, far out on the ocean!

The abyssal creatures disguised as humans were gazing towards the beautiful and vast island ahead...

One could vaguely see quite a number of Sea Soul Masters!

"It seems this place ahead is inhabited by quite a few Soul Masters!"

"Yes, I can feel it. This island is filled with numerous delicious prey, perfect for us to transform into true abyssal beings!"

"I haven't sensed any particularly powerful Soul Masters on this island, which is just great!"

"Although there are a few strong Soul Masters, they are definitely no match for us!"

Little did they know that their every action had already been laid bare before High Priest Poseissi's eyes...

"It looks like these fellows are indeed the invaders who have infiltrated this sea area!"

Before stepping into this sea area, he hadn't noticed them, which was indeed sufficiently secretive!

The servant by his side also saw this scene and said confusedly, "High Priest, the aura of these people is very strange, unlike Soul Masters, nor like soul beasts!"

Though unable to confirm what they are, the eerie aura definitely indicated they weren't anything good!

She was certain of this!

Poseissi glanced at her and responded, "If I am not mistaken, they should be abyssal creatures!"

The servant's eyes showed a bewildered expression, "Abyssal creatures? What are those? A variant of soul beasts?"

She had never heard the term before!

Poseissi shook his head, "Honestly, I also do not know what abyssal creatures are, but Xu Sheng once said that when I see them, I would recognize them instantly!"

And indeed, the unique aura emitted by the abyssal creatures made them easily identifiable!

The maid seemed to recall something and exclaimed in surprise, "Xu Sheng? Wait... wasn't he the child who last came to our Sea God's Island to participate in the Trial of the Sea God?"

Poseissi affirmed, "Yes, the term 'abyssal creatures' was also told to me by him!"

The maid pondered and said, "So you mean... High Priest, are these abyssal creatures our enemies on Sea God's Island?"

Poseissi's gaze turned icier, "It is not certain yet, but if they intend to enter Sea God's Island, then they indeed are!"

These abyssal creatures, if they were merely passing by, he might let them go!

But if they harbored ulterior motives, then this sea area would become their graveyard!
