Chapter 97 Are you kidding a three-year-old?
Bu Le lewdly chuckled: "If Poseidon could please me, even now, if you want to kill me, I still understand your position, I don't blame you. But I beg you, give me a way out."
"I can now swear to the heavens before everyone watching the celestial screen, before all the soul masters and even soul beasts in the world!"
Poseidon's voice trembled, yet every word was resounding:
"I, Poseidon, in this life, will never be an enemy of the Sun Moon Empire, never an enemy of the Wei family! If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth, never to be reincarnated!"
As her words fell, the world fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at the once invincible Ocean Invincible, now reduced to dust for survival.
Soto City, the bustling streets were now eerily silent; everyone was speechless, stunned by the breathtaking scene on the celestial screen.
In a dark alleyway, a lewd figure leaned against a wall, his eyes darting brazenly across the screen.
It was the infamous "Bu Le."
Bu Le stroked his stubble-covered chin, his alluring eyes fixed on the image of a stunningly beautiful woman in tattered clothes, her expression one of profound sorrow. A lewd grin spread across his face, revealing yellow teeth, and he let out a sickening chuckle.
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly a gem… Is this the legendary Sea God Douluo? That figure, that aura, even injured, she retains her charm. It's making my heart itch."
Bu Le swallowed hard, his eyes filled with greed and blasphemous lust. He muttered to himself, "If I were Wei Tianchen, facing such a ripe beauty weeping like a pear blossom in the rain, how could I bear to kill her? I'd immediately grant her request and pretend to be magnanimous enough to let her go."
And then… hehe, taking advantage of her serious injuries and weakness, I'll just take this beauty home, cripple her soul power, lock her in the basement, and enjoy her all to myself!
Tsk tsk, to have the once high and mighty High Priestess writhing and submitting beneath me, that feeling… just thinking about it makes me feel heavenly, hehehe…
Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace.
On the terrace of the Crown Prince's palace, Xue Qinghe stood with his hands behind his back, his usually gentle and refined face now shrouded in an indescribable gloom.
Qian Renxue looked at the woman in the sky who had abandoned her dignity and sworn an oath to the heavens to save her life, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
That was Poseidon!
The "Invincible Ocean," who was known as one of the three peerless Douluo in the world, along with her grandfather Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect!
In the education Qian Renxue had received since childhood, these three were myths standing at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world, insurmountable mountains.
In her imagination, such strong people, even if defeated, should be unyielding, as magnificent as a falling star.
But now, looking at Poseidon's humble and begging appearance, Qian Renxue felt a deep sense of absurdity, and a kind of...the sorrow of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
"Even a level 99 Limit Douluo was forced to this state when facing the Wei family…"
Qian Renxue's hand, hidden in her sleeve, clenched into a fist, her nails digging into her palm.
Poseidon's current humiliation was like a resounding slap across the face of all the self-important Soul Masters.
This also stirred an unprecedented sense of crisis within Qian Renxue.
If even Poseidon could only beg for survival like a dog, what about the Spirit Hall?
Fortunately, the Spirit Hall and the Sun Moon Empire— or more precisely, her Qian family and the Wei family—shared a common ancestor twenty thousand years ago.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Wei family wouldn't intend to involve the Qian family as well.
Even if the Wei family wanted to invade the Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall didn't necessarily have to fight the Sun Moon Empire.
After all, the territory directly under the Spirit Hall's control was only so large.
Even if the Sun Moon Empire conquered the entire Douluo Continent…
The Spirit Hall could continue to exist on the Douluo Continent.
Perhaps its interests would be harmed, but its complete annihilation was impossible.
After all, at the very least, the Qian family still had Qian Yuhan, the ancestor who had achieved first-level godhood and ascended to the God Realm twenty thousand years ago!
Spirit City, atop the Hall of Worship.
This was the closest place to the sky, the closest place to the celestial canopy.
Qian Daoliu stood quietly beneath the angel statue, his golden robes fluttering in the wind.
His gaze was fixed on the pale, familiar face reflected in the celestial canopy.
It was the woman he had loved his entire life.
Seeing Poseidon, once as proud as a phoenix, who wouldn't even glance at him, now drenched and begging for mercy from a junior in the mud, Qian Daoliu's heart clenched violently, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
"Poseidon..."
A long sigh, filled with endless vicissitudes and bitterness, escaped Qian Daoliu's lips.
Did Qian Daoliu want to save her?
Yes.
The thought pounded wildly in his mind, an urge to immediately spread his six wings and fly to her side.
But could he move?
No.
Qian Daoliu closed his eyes, concealing the pain within them. When he opened them again, only the coldness and rationality of a Spirit Hall elder remained.
Reason told him that although Poseidon had sworn an oath, she was, after all, the High Priestess of Seagod Island, a level 99 ultimate powerhouse, and an uncontrollable variable due to the collapse of her faith.
For the Wei family, for the future situation, a living Poseidon was always more threatening than a dead one.
"Wei Tianchen... if you really want to make a move, then make a move."
Qian Daoliu murmured softly, his voice terrifyingly cold, as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself:
"Only the dead are the least dangerous. Xixi, rather than letting you live in such humiliation, it would be better... to die a quick death."
Wei Tianchen looked down, his gaze sweeping over the once arrogant woman at his feet like ancient ice.
At this moment, Poseidon's hair was disheveled, her clothes stained with blood, and her beautiful face was filled with pleading and humility.
She even swore an oath to the heavens, just to beg for a sliver of hope.
However, looking at Poseidon in this state, Wei Tianchen felt no pity whatsoever; instead, a deeper killing intent surged within him.
"Understand my position? Don't blame me?"
Wei Tianchen sneered inwardly.
Such nonsense might fool a three-year-old, but to think it would fool him?
It was utterly delusional!
Putting himself in her shoes, if he were the one kneeling here begging for his life, if he were the one severely injured and had his dignity shattered, even if he temporarily bowed his head to save his life, even if he made the most poisonous oath, a seed of revenge would be planted deep within his heart!
As long as he didn't die, this seed would grow wildly every night until it became a towering tree, completely devouring the enemy who had inflicted all this humiliation upon him!
