"Little Chen, what's wrong?" Bibi Dong chased after him.
Because Jiang Chen was extremely sensitive to the scent of blood, at this moment no one else had yet noticed the faint bloody aura in the air.
Jiang Chen pointed ahead and said in a deep voice: "A fierce battle took place several thousand meters ahead. The sea surface has been dyed blood-red, and there are still a few pirate ships sailing on it."
Bibi Dong looked ahead and indeed saw several ships, but the distance was too great to see them clearly.
Just then, the commander quickly walked over, his expression solemn as he said: "Your Majesty, pirate ships have been discovered five thousand meters ahead. That stretch of sea appears to have been the site of a battle."
"Could it be that the pirates plundered other merchant ships?" Bibi Dong asked.
"That's possible. There's a powerful pirate group nearby called the Purple Pearl Pirate Group. What I don't understand is that the Purple Pearl Pirate Group should know that ahead lies the territory of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Why would they risk their lives to plunder in those waters?" the commander said with some puzzlement.
"Five thousand meters ahead is already the Demon Whale King's territory?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Bibi Dong's elegant brows furrowed slightly as she said, "Pass down the order. Continue advancing. All hands on alert and prepare for battle."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The commander glanced at the group of elders, feeling somewhat reassured, and quickly went down to make arrangements.
With so many Titled Douluo here, they should be able to contend with that Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Seeing that Jiang Chen's gaze remained fixed ahead, Bibi Dong asked: "Little Chen, can you see clearly what happened up ahead?"
Jiang Chen nodded and said: "I can. Those pirate ships belong to the Purple Pearl Pirate Group."
Bibi Dong's nostrils twitched lightly as she said: "There's a smell of blood."
Jiang Chen's expression suddenly showed some confusion as he said: "It doesn't look like the pirates were plundering others, but rather that they were being chased by spirit beasts. Those are dozens of white sharks."
The commander had finished giving orders and walked back, saying solemnly: "Holy Son, those should be the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, the guardian spirit beasts of Sea God Island. But this place is still very far from Sea God Island. I don't know why these Demon Soul Great White Sharks would appear here."
As he spoke, the commander handed a telescope to Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong curiously observed the situation ahead.
In that stretch of sea, dozens of white sharks over ten meters long were chasing those pirate ships.
"Full speed ahead!" Bibi Dong waved her arm forward.
The three enormous warships accelerated toward the front.
Since those were the guardian spirit beasts of Sea God Island, how could they not deal with them upon encountering them?
Moreover, they also needed to figure out why these great white sharks had appeared here.
Those few pirate ships seemed to have already discovered the three enormous warships long ago and were racing toward them at full speed.
The distance between the two sides rapidly closed.
When the distance was only one thousand meters, those Demon Soul Great White Sharks abandoned the pursuit of the pirates and turned back.
Jiang Chen's pupils, which had been gazing into the distance, suddenly contracted, and his brows furrowed deeply.
On the sea surface even farther away floated a deep-blue "island."
It was an enormous corpse. The portion of its body floating on the surface already exceeded two hundred meters in length, and its entire body was the color of blue sapphire.
On its head were two enormous eyes, each over three meters in diameter. However, the eyeball of the left eye had already disappeared, leaving only a large black hole.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is dead!" Jiang Chen said.
Bibi Dong, who was using the telescope, had clearly also seen that mountain-like enormous corpse, and her pretty face grew solemn.
The commander and the elders, meanwhile, showed expressions of disbelief. That million-year spirit beast had just died like that?
They had already prepared for a bitter battle, but they never expected that before the fight even began, that terrifying spirit beast was already dead.
Looking ahead, they could only see a small mountain radiating blue light. Because the distance was still too great, they could not yet tell that it was the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Those Demon Soul Great White Sharks are devouring the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King," Bibi Dong said in a deep voice.
A million-year spirit beast could be said to be one of the most powerful existences on the Douluo Continent, comparable to a human rank-ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
Yet it had died just like that, and it had been killed by the guardian spirit beasts of their enemy, Sea God Island.
Looking at those few pirate ships that were still fleeing at high speed, Bibi Dong said: "Intercept them. I want to question them."
The commander quickly issued the order. The three enormous warships began to form an encirclement as they sailed toward the pirate ships ahead.
There were likewise three pirate ships. The one in the center was larger, and the mast raised on it flew a purple sail.
"That is the Purple Pearl. It is the flagship of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group's leader," the commander explained.
By now the distance between the two sides was less than a thousand meters. With the eyesight of spirit masters, they could already clearly see the situation on both sides' ships.
On the deck of the Purple Pearl stood a group of pirates, led by a woman.
The woman had a well-proportioned figure and appeared to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She was very beautiful, with a high nose bridge, large eyes, and a head of neat, short purple hair.
After discovering that the Demon Soul Great White Sharks had given up the chase, she let out a breath of relief, but then immediately discovered that the three enormous warships ahead were charging toward her pirate ships with imposing momentum.
Her expression changed slightly. She hurriedly waved the small purple flag in her hand and roared: "Turn! Quick, turn! Damn it, this old lady is having the worst luck of eight lifetimes today!"
Originally, while being chased by the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, she had been overjoyed upon seeing the three warships. With the attitude of diverting the disaster eastward, she had charged toward those three warships without the slightest hesitation.
But now that the Demon Soul Great White Sharks had retreated, she naturally did not want to encounter those aggressive warships.
She had once observed warships of this level from afar. It was said that they were built by the Spirit Empire in recent years, and they were equipped with terrifyingly powerful spirit tools.
Her few pirate ships probably wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth; they would be sunk in a single encounter.
"The Spirit Empire has grown this powerful? I wonder if you still remember me," she murmured.
Under her command, the three pirate ships quickly turned, wanting to escape from the side.
Only after changing direction did Purple Pearl relax. She turned around triumphantly, slapped her raised buttocks toward those three warships, then waved the small purple flag in her hand and roared:
"Full speed return!"
Bibi Dong's pretty face looked somewhat unpleasant. The other party's action of slapping her butt was clearly a provocation.
"Stop them for me," she said coldly.
Immediately, three elders charged out from the ships and flew rapidly toward the Purple Pearl.
They fully mobilized their spirit power and had already released their martial spirits while flying.
Those nine spirit rings were more dazzling than the sun, instantly frightening the pirates so much that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled.
"Lea… Leader?" An old pirate who looked seventy or eighty years old looked at Purple Pearl.
"What are you all stopping for? Full speed ahead for me!" Purple Pearl roared.
The pressure of the three Titled Douluo was released, pressing down from the distant sky.
"Stop if you don't want to die," one elder said in an icy voice.
They were nothing but a motley crowd. None of them looked highly upon these pirates.
Moreover, the empire would dominate the ocean in the future. These pirates were one tumor after another that could not be left behind.
The three elders unconsciously released killing intent, which immediately made the pirates at the helm stop in terror.
The three warships of the Spirit Empire finally surrounded these three "tiny" pirate ships.
Bibi Dong's face was cold as she shouted: "Bring them all up."
Immediately, a group of empire powerhouses, Spirit Douluo and Spirit Sages, leaped up one after another and landed on the pirate ships to prevent the pirates from escaping.
"It's over, it's over. The Spirit Empire is going to make an example of our pirate group," the pirates all thought at the same time.
They were driven onto the three colossal warships. Many pirates' legs were trembling, their expressions as if they were being marched to the execution ground.
At some point, Purple Pearl had already taken out a purple veil and wrapped it around her face.
Complex emotions were hidden in those large eyes of hers.
Among the three pirate ships, there were only about a hundred pirates. After boarding, they were ordered to stand neatly in formation.
These trembling pirates, the moment they saw Bibi Dong, were all stunned. Their bodies even forgot to tremble as their eyes stared foolishly at this peerlessly beautiful woman who was like a fairy.
Their leader was already very beautiful, but the woman before their eyes was even more beautiful than their leader, simply a hundred times more beautiful.
Purple Pearl hid among the crowd and did not raise her head to look at anyone on the ship, trying her best to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
Bibi Dong's gaze swept over these pirates and then stopped on Purple Pearl.
She raised her jade-like hand, pointed at Purple Pearl, and said coldly: "You, come out."
The pirates followed Bibi Dong's finger and immediately saw their own leader.
With a whoosh, the pirates around Purple Pearl immediately scattered.
"Leader." A pirate poked Purple Pearl and whispered.
"Don't poke me." Purple Pearl kept her head down and said in a low voice.
"Uh… Leader, that fairy is calling you," a pirate said, quite speechless.
Purple Pearl looked up blankly and only then discovered that her subordinates had already moved far away from her at some point.
Her gaze turned and fell on Bibi Dong's face. The pretty face hidden behind the purple veil froze for a moment, showing a hint of disbelief.
