Xu Sheng glanced at them and replied, "It's nothing, just some trivial matters!"
The letter was passed over from Sea God's Island, and the person who wrote it was likely Poseissi himself!
As for the content, it was very brief, which was that Sea God's Island had been attacked by several abyssal creatures. After losing two Sacred Pillars, they finally managed to deal with them!
Nevertheless, it's better not to let Evil Moon and the others know about it!
Upon hearing this, Evil Moon and Hulena exchanged glances, but did not continue to inquire. They followed the former's opinion; since he didn't want to reveal it, they let it be!
However, Flame was different. He immediately approached Xu Sheng, his eyes shining, "Xu Sheng, we're good friends, right? Don't be so stingy, man. It's just a letter after all. There's no harm in letting everyone have a look, right?"
The more the other party acted like this, the more curious he became!
Xu Sheng gave him a look and still refused, "Sorry, Flame, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that everything on this letter is a private matter, and it's not good to disclose!"
After speaking, soul power burst forth from the palm of his hand, instantly turning the letter into flying ash...
Seeing this scene, the corners of Flame's mouth twitched...
"If you won't let me see, you won't let me see, but was there really a need to destroy it? So stingy!"
After speaking, he pouted his lips, clearly dissatisfied with this behavior...
Hulena raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Flame, Xu Sheng has already said it's his own private matter; stop prying into it."
Evil Moon chimed in, "Yeah, instead of wasting time on this, we might as well focus on cultivating!"
Flame replied with a look of disdain, "Pfft, Nana, Evil Moon, you guys were also curious just a moment ago. You sure change your tune fast!"
Nana and Evil Moon really had the same personality!
Xu Sheng did not listen to their bickering and interrupted, "Enough, let's not talk about this anymore. I have to leave for a bit because of some matters. You all continue to cultivate!"
Evil Moon snapped back to attention, puzzled, "Xu Sheng, the matter you mentioned, is it to meet with His Holiness, the Pope?"
Xu Sheng wasn't surprised that the former could guess his intention, "That's right."
Evil Moon expressed understanding, "I see, then you better go. We'll continue cultivating on our own!"
After all, their soul power rank had already reached a plateau, and no amount of training would take them further; they might as well use real combat to solidify their foundation!
Since the former had said that once their foundation was solid, they would be able to go further in the future!
Only after Xu Sheng left did Flame express his confusion, "Evil Moon, how did you know Xu Sheng was going to see His Holiness?"
Hulena was also unclear, "Yeah, brother, could it be that you discovered something?"
Evil Moon shook his head, "I was just guessing. Seeing the big change in Xu Sheng's expression earlier, it seems that letter probably was not as simple as he said!"
Hulena had an epiphany, "Brother is right; if it were nothing important, Xu Sheng wouldn't have needed to destroy the letter, let alone keep it from us!"
Flame scratched his chest, "Seriously, being kept in the dark feels really uncomfortable!"
...
Seeing the suddenly appearing Xu Sheng, Yueguan said with an unpleasant face, "Xu Sheng, what are you doing here?"
Although he owed the other party a favor, he still felt somewhat awkward each time he saw him!
Maybe it was because he had made off with Lao Gui...
With that thought, he gulped, immediately pushing the recent thought out of his mind...
Something's off, something's off. My last thought wasn't quite right!
Gui Mei was somewhat astonished too. It seemed he hadn't expected Xu Sheng to actively seek them out, but he didn't say anything...
After all, our relationship with them remained quite good following our trip to Sea God's Island!
Xu Sheng patiently explained, "Elder Ju, you've misunderstood. I have an important matter to discuss with Elder Gui!"
Yueguan's forehead turned dark, "What important matter could you possibly have? Don't tell me you're so bored that you've come to pick a fight."
Xu Sheng shrugged his shoulders, "Elder Ju is joking, I have no such intention!"
"What do you say, Elder Gui?"
Gui Mei hesitated for a moment, then suggested to Yueguan, "Yueguan, why don't you step outside for a bit? I need to have a word with Mr. Xu!"
If the other party had come to him on their own initiative, it must really be something important!
And even, it could not be made known to Yueguan!
Yueguan widened his eyes in disbelief, "No way, Elder Gui, you too?"
Instead of asking Xu Sheng to leave, he was the one being asked to leave!
All these years of friendship, just like that?
But after some consideration, he grudgingly said, "Fine, then you two talk!"
Forget it, considering he owed this kid a favor, he couldn't be bothered with him!
After waving his sleeves, he left reluctantly...
However, even after watching Yueguan disappear from sight, Xu Sheng didn't rush to discuss the matter...
Instead, he suddenly reminded, "Elder Ju, even if you hide outside and eavesdrop, I am able to sense it!"
Yueguan, who was prepared to eavesdrop outside, got a shock and had to cover his embarrassment with a cough before quickly leaving...
He almost forgot, this kid's spiritual power was unusually strong, eavesdropping on the conversation was simply impossible!!
Gui Mei was somewhat helpless but still asked, "Xu Sheng, Yueguan has left. Can you speak now? What is so important that you had to come to me personally!"
Xu Sheng thought for a moment, "Elder Gui, it is actually related to Sea God's Island."
Gui Mei frowned, "Sea God's Island? I am not interested in matters concerning that place. If it's only for this reason, better we don't talk about it."
The fact that he had returned alive from that place was already a cause for immense gratitude!
He had absolutely no interest in bringing up that place again!
Xu Sheng knew that the other party had misunderstood and promptly explained, "Elder Gui, to be precise, what I need to talk about is not Sea God's Island, but the abyssal creatures!"
It just so happened that the incident occurred on Sea God's Island!
Gui Mei's expression turned even more displeased, "How did you get on the topic of abyssal creatures again, Xu Sheng, can you clarify a bit more?"
Xu Sheng didn't waste any more words, getting straight to the point, "The situation is like this, just now, the High Priest from Sea God's Island sent me a letter, reporting an assault by abyssal creatures there!"
"And, what's more, they've lost a total of two Sacred Pillars!"
Gui Mei's eyes gleamed with a hint of schadenfreude, "An assault by abyssal creatures on Sea God's Island? Shouldn't this be great news for our Martial Soul Hall?"
Xu Sheng shook his head, denying, "Elder Gui, you seem to have failed to grasp the seriousness of the situation. If even a remote place like Sea God's Island has suffered an attack from abyssal creatures, this suggests that the number of abyssal creatures might have grown to a rather terrifying level!"
"This means, nowadays, any power or sect could potentially be attacked at any moment!!"
Upon realizing the implications, Gui Mei involuntarily took a sharp breath...
"Hiss..."
