Bibi Dong followed Jiang Chen's gaze, and the others also turned their eyes toward the mountain-like corpse.
Suddenly, that enormous corpse moved.
Instantly, countless screams and chaotic noises erupted on the ships. The pirates nearly fled in panic.
The elders and soldiers of the Spirit Empire all held their breath at once, their scalps tingling.
They felt an extremely terrifying aura burst forth from the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The Demon Whale King's body expanded and contracted as if breathing. The surrounding seawater began to spin, forming a massive vortex.
At the center of the vortex was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's huge mouth. Vast amounts of water were sucked into that great maw.
The three enormous warships also began to spin along with the seawater.
"Little Chen, this…" Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Chen, but before she could finish speaking, a huge water pillar fifteen meters in diameter shot up into the sky.
The air around them twisted violently because of this water pillar. An incomparably terrifying aura radiated outward, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.
Many Titled Douluo elders instinctively released their martial spirits. Soul power surged within their bodies as they prepared to unleash soul skills at the gigantic Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Elders, there is no need to worry." Jiang Chen's calm voice rang in everyone's ears.
The elders immediately abandoned the idea of releasing their soul skills at once. Their powerful soul power fused, forming a soul-power barrier above the warships.
Pa pa pa…
Fist-sized water droplets formed from the water pillar struck the barrier and bounced away to the sides.
Purple Pearl was utterly shocked, shocked by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's revival, and also shocked that the Spirit Empire had brought so many Titled Douluo powerhouses.
Dispatching so many Titled Douluo… did the Spirit Empire truly intend to go to war with Sea God Island?
But these dozen or so Titled Elders were not enough. The Titled Douluo of Sea God Island were far stronger when fighting on the great sea than Titled Douluo on land.
Moreover, Purple Pearl had heard rumors that Sea God Island had recently gained another batch of Titled Douluo soul masters.
The current Sea God Island, even if placed on land, was no weaker than the Spirit Empire, let alone on the ocean.
After the Demon Whale King sprayed out the water pillar, a low, muffled roar sounded. All soul masters below the Titled Douluo rank immediately felt dizzy and their ears rang; they nearly lost their footing.
Fearful emotions uncontrollably surged forth in a frenzy.
"Quiet down." Jiang Chen rebuked coldly.
His voice was not loud, yet the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's roar abruptly ceased. It floated quietly on the sea surface, its single huge eye staring at everyone.
"Little Chen, what exactly is going on?" Bibi Dong's heart was filled with doubt at this moment.
Why had the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly revived, and why did it seem to obey Jiang Chen's commands?
She could not help but recall Jiang Chen's special ability to control others' bodies and minds, making them submit from the depths of their hearts.
But this was a million-year soul beast. Bibi Dong was not certain.
She looked at Jiang Chen with expectant eyes.
Jiang Chen smiled brilliantly, snapped his fingers, and said, "Demon Whale King, come here."
As soon as the words fell, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's enormous body rapidly shrank, finally transforming into a middle-aged man wearing a deep-blue long robe.
What made people feel somewhat eerie was that his left eye had no eyeball, only a ghastly empty socket remained.
"Master." He walked before Jiang Chen, knelt on one knee, his attitude incomparably respectful.
At this moment, everyone on the ships could not help but open their mouths wide, almost wide enough to fit a fist.
This million-year soul beast had actually transformed into human form, and even knelt down calling Jiang Chen "Master."
What on earth was happening?
A look of understanding flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes. She confirmed her earlier speculation, this Demon Whale King had indeed submitted to Jiang Chen.
Seeing everyone's shocked and puzzled expressions, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I possess a celestial herb that can bring the dead back to life. This Demon Whale King cultivated for a million years with great difficulty. I could not bear to watch it perish, so I used the celestial herb to revive it. Because of this, it decided to follow me."
Everyone's hearts were even more shocked. There actually existed a celestial herb in this world that could resurrect the dead.
Unfortunately, it had been fed to this Demon Whale King.
Bibi Dong naturally knew this was a reason Jiang Chen had fabricated, so she merely smiled without speaking.
One elder laughed heartily and said, "Excellent! A million-year soul beast is equivalent to a Rank 99 Titled Douluo. This time when we attack Sea God Island, we have gained another powerful helper."
They were truly going to attack Sea God Island… Purple Pearl's heart was filled with extreme shock.
She quietly glanced around and did not discover the figure of the Great Worship. The remaining few Worships had not appeared either.
The Spirit Empire was attacking Sea God Island, yet they had not even dispatched the Great Worship?
She glanced at the man the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had transformed into and felt a slight sense of relief in her heart.
Even if the Great Worship was not present, with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's help, this battle would be somewhat easier.
"What's wrong with me? I am the pirate captain Purple Pearl. I have no relation to Spirit Hall." Purple Pearl secretly warned herself.
Bibi Dong also revealed a smile. Although their lineup this time was powerful, they were after all on Sea God Island's territory. When fighting on the great sea, sea soul masters held an absolute advantage.
Now that they had the Deep Sea Demon Whale King as a powerful assistant, attacking Sea God Island would become much easier.
Jiang Chen slowly nodded and said, "Rise. I promised I would help you take revenge."
The Demon Whale King stood up. "Thank you, Master."
"Who was the one who killed you?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
Hatred appeared on the Demon Whale King's face. Intense resentment soared into the sky.
"It was a blue-haired youth. The others called him Tang San," the Demon Whale King said hatefully.
So it really was him… Jiang Chen had already guessed it was Tang San earlier.
Jiang Chen laughed loudly. "Perfect. The reason I am heading to Sea God Island this time is precisely to kill him."
Joy appeared on the Demon Whale King's face.
Right now, his desire for revenge had already surpassed his desire to become a god. Until Tang San died, he could not suppress the foul qi in his heart.
Jiang Chen said, "I heard that the seas surrounding Sea God Island are guarded by hundreds of Demon Spirit Great White Sharks. The first challenge we face in attacking Sea God Island is to eliminate these Demon Spirit Great White Sharks. You should be very familiar with them. These sharks will be left to you."
Recalling how his body had been gnawed by those Demon Spirit Great White Sharks, the Demon Whale King's heart was filled with extreme hatred.
"Rest assured, Master. I will tear all those damned little things to shreds."
"Mm. Lead the way in front."
The Demon Whale King nodded, then leaped into the water. His enormous body reappeared, instantly stirring up a storm of huge waves.
It let out an excited low roar, swung its gigantic tail, and swam toward the direction of Sea God Island.
The commander waved the small flag in his hand and shouted excitedly, "Full speed ahead!"
With the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, dealing with those Demon Spirit Great White Sharks would become much easier.
The first obstacle to landing on Sea God Island was those Demon Spirit Great White Sharks.
Demon Spirit Great White Sharks possessed formidable combat power in the sea and were extremely troublesome.
Without the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's help, they would certainly have to expend considerable effort to deal with these troublesome fellows, and might even pay a not-small price.
After all, fighting while diving into the deep sea, even a Titled Douluo would fall into an extremely passive state.
The three enormous warships followed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and rapidly advanced toward Sea God Island.
Jiang Chen could see that the wounds on the Demon Whale King's body were currently recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It would not be long before the Demon Whale King could recover to its peak state and become even stronger than before.
The location of Sea God Island was extremely secretive. Without a sea chart, it was basically impossible to find.
Years ago, Spirit Hall had come once, so they knew the route.
Purple Pearl and her group of pirates still stood on the deck of the warship, their hearts filled with extreme unease.
Were these big shots of the Spirit Empire planning to drag them along to attack Sea God Island as well?
The Spirit Empire had the courage for that, but they did not.
If they angered Sea God Island, their Purple Pearl Pirate Group would be wiped out in an instant.
"Respected Your Majesty of the Spirit Empire, may we leave now?" Purple Pearl asked, her posture extremely low.
No matter what, she would not go to Sea God Island, and she also did not want Bibi Dong to discover her identity.
Bibi Dong turned and looked at her, scrutinizing her for a long time, making her somewhat uneasy.
"You may. Leave." Bibi Dong said lightly, no longer looking at this group of pirates.
Although she felt this group of pirates was somewhat suspicious, they were after all just a group of pirates. Even if they had some connection to Sea God Island, it would not affect the outcome for Sea God Island.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Purple Pearl performed a salute, her body bent at a ninety-degree angle.
"Your Majesty, these pirates are a tumor of the empire. Merchants of the empire often suffer plunder when going out to sea. I believe these pirates should be completely exterminated," one elder suggested.
Purple Pearl and the others' hearts immediately rose into their throats. One pirate hurriedly shouted, "Spare us, Your Majesty! Everything we do is robbing the rich to help the poor!"
"Shut up!" Purple Pearl rebuked.
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Let them leave for now. After we attack Sea God Island, we will then incorporate these pirate forces. Those who do not submit at that time will be killed."
She was not the least bit worried about releasing a tiger back into the mountains. After all, the military strength of the Spirit Empire was right there. These pirates could be wiped out whenever they wished.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Purple Pearl performed another salute and exhaled in relief.
"Wait. They may leave, but you must stay." Jiang Chen's gaze examined Purple Pearl with interest.
Sensing Jiang Chen's naked gaze, Purple Pearl's heart jumped, and she immediately became wary.
She actually had a feeling that her entire body had been seen through.
"Could this Holy Son have designs on my body?" she could not help thinking.
It was no wonder she thought this way. Even though she had covered her face, that full, explosive figure of hers, which man would not be moved upon seeing it?
It was only natural for this Holy Son to want to play a little.
As she thought this, a strange feeling actually rose in her heart. It seemed she did not particularly mind the idea of being toyed with by Jiang Chen.
"What's wrong with me? I like women!" Purple Pearl's cheeks flushed. She did not dare look directly into Jiang Chen's eyes.
But very soon, she quietly stole another glance at Jiang Chen. That handsome face made her heart tremble nonstop.
The other soul masters on the ship immediately revealed expressions that all men understood.
"Little Chen, why are you keeping her?" Bibi Dong asked.
She did not believe Jiang Chen would lust after Purple Pearl's beauty. She knew Jiang Chen was very devoted in matters of the heart. Apart from Qian Renxue and Hu Liena, he had never touched any other women.
For a Holy Son, this was a rare quality.
"Teacher, you will understand in a moment." Jiang Chen smiled.
Then he looked at those pirates, his voice indifferent. "Have them all go down. If they refuse to leave, drive them down. Purple Pearl stays."
Instantly, huge clamoring arose. Those pirates were filled with righteous indignation and refused to go down no matter what.
They could foresee that if their captain remained here, she would absolutely suffer painful humiliation.
"Go, go, go." The soldiers of the Spirit Empire began driving them away.
The pirates' faces were full of anger. Conflict was about to erupt.
"All of you go down. Wait for me back on the island." Purple Pearl said calmly.
"Captain!"
"You won't even listen to my orders anymore? Careful when I return, or I'll hang each of you up and whip you." Purple Pearl roared, her fierce side reappearing.
The pirates' necks shrank hard. They dared not resist any longer and were driven down by the soldiers.
The three pirate ships had been hanging behind the Spirit Empire's warships the entire time. Over a hundred pirates were driven down.
"Our captain's fate is so bitter," the second-in-command of the pirates sighed sorrowfully.
"Second-in-command, don't say that. I think the captain is about to fly up onto a branch and become a phoenix," a young pirate snickered.
The other pirates' eyes immediately lit up.
"With the Spirit Empire as our backer, we'll become the strongest pirate force on this great sea."
"Mm… not bad, not bad. The captain's sacrifice is worth it."
"Captain, go for it! Serve that kid until he's comfortable!" someone even shouted.
In an instant, all the pirates swept away their angry expressions. Every one of them beamed with joy.
Hearing that final shout from her subordinates, Purple Pearl's forehead could not help but produce several black lines.
What kind of trash had she brought out?
They had sold out their captain so quickly.
She raised her head and glanced over, discovering that Jiang Chen was walking toward her. Her heart could not help but race.
She had previously only liked women and felt nothing for men.
But now, she actually felt a little nervous, a little expectant.
Jiang Chen walked to her side, paused for a moment, and said, "Follow me."
"Oh." Purple Pearl's fingers pinched each other. She obediently followed behind Jiang Chen like a little wife.
"Teacher, you come as well." Jiang Chen called back.
Bibi Dong nodded and followed.
At this moment, everyone froze for a second.
Could I have been wrong? The Holy Son isn't thinking of that… this thought arose in everyone's hearts.
Purple Pearl was even more astonished. Like a deflated ball, she suddenly lost her breath. Her mood actually felt a little disappointed.
She followed Jiang Chen, with Bibi Dong further behind. The three of them entered Jiang Chen's room.
Jiang Chen sat down on his own. Bibi Dong also sat to the side.
"Sit." Jiang Chen pointed to a chair nearby, indicating for Purple Pearl to sit.
Purple Pearl truly did not know what Jiang Chen wanted to do now.
"This humble woman is of lowly status and does not dare to sit," Purple Pearl said in a soft, delicate voice, displaying the proper fear.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "The former Saintess of Spirit Hall, where does this talk of lowly status come from?"
Purple Pearl's body trembled. She suddenly froze stiff. Disbelief shot from her eyes.
But in merely an instant, she recovered as usual and said softly, "This humble woman does not understand what the Holy Son is saying."
Bibi Dong's gaze instantly became sharp. The minute reaction Purple Pearl had just shown had all fallen into her eyes.
"Remove your veil." Bibi Dong ordered.
Purple Pearl stood there, her mood extremely complicated. For a moment she did not know what to do.
"Remove it, Saintess. Let us have a proper talk." Jiang Chen said.
Purple Pearl sighed once, helplessly undid her veil, and revealed her true face before Jiang Chen and Bibi Dong.
A high-bridged nose, somewhat deep large eyes, short purple hair. Within that extremely beautiful appearance was also a heroic aura, far beyond what ordinary beautiful women could compare to.
"It really is you." Bibi Dong's gaze was likewise complicated.
When Jiang Chen had called it out just now, she had already guessed Purple Pearl's identity.
