Chapter 460: Sea Princess

East Sun City, a major northern stronghold of the Ri Yue Di Guo, is located in the slightly eastern part of the northern Ri Yue Di Guo, about less than a thousand kilometers from the border with the original Tian Hun Empire.

The troops and soul engineers stationed here are, in a broader sense, meant to defend against possible sea soul beasts emerging from the Ice Sea.

Sea soul beasts capable of surviving in the Ice Sea almost always possess both Ice and Water attributes, making them extremely powerful; occasionally they launch attacks, raiding food from the shore and hunting humans.

Therefore, East Sun City has the task of opposing them and preventing sea soul beasts from coming ashore to wreak havoc.

Sea soul beasts differ somewhat from land soul beasts in that they mostly live in groups, so once they riot, it becomes very troublesome; this is also why East Sun City is heavily garrisoned.

However, for Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, sea soul beasts currently pose no threat to them.

Moreover, they came to East Sun City this time specifically to find sea soul beasts.

In the early morning, the two swiftly flew above the Ice Sea, sunlight shining on the ice surface and reflecting dazzling light.

At that moment, the Snow Emperor's voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"Wait, stop here."

The two stopped as the Snow Emperor instructed; the Snow Emperor floated in midair and slowly raised a hand.

In an instant, goose-feather-like heavy snow began to fall from the sky, covering everything visible to the naked eye.

While releasing his domain skill, the Snow Emperor explained to the two: "In my early years, before I unified the Extreme North, I once fought the Sea Princess on this sea; although she had the home-field advantage, she ultimately fell to my Snow Dance Blazing Sun domain skill, so she is highly sensitive to the aura of my Snow Dance Blazing Sun; using this as a greeting, she will surely come out."

"Um..."

Tang Wulin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Using the method that once defeated the opponent as a greeting—is this really not provoking them?

However, looking at the Snow Emperor's naturally calm expression, it should be fine.

Should be? As the Snow Emperor said, not long after, the ocean beneath their feet began to churn.

As water columns shot up into the sky, a beautiful mermaid rose to the surface.

"Snow Emperor! Are you done or not? Every time you summon me like this, don't think I'm really afraid of you!"

The Snow Emperor's face showed a faint smile, he withdrew his domain, and bluntly replied: "Sure, if you have the ability, come and fight me to the death, but let me remind you: if you come to fight me, these two beside me won't stand by idly, and with them here, you will absolutely not be able to defeat me."

"Oh?"

Hearing the Snow Emperor's words, the Sea Princess couldn't help but be startled.

Only then did she notice the presence of Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong; a flicker of doubt crossed her eyes as she asked:

"Snow Emperor, are you senile? Just relying on these two humans under twenty to think you can beat me? You're being utterly delusional."

The Snow Emperor let out a cold laugh.

"Whether we can win isn't determined by talk; the fact is as such, whether you admit it is up to you, but we came here this time not to fight you, but to discuss something important."

Upon hearing the Snow Emperor say that, the anger and doubt on the Sea Princess's face faded, and she asked: "What matter? You haven't come to see me in nearly a hundred thousand years, right?"

"It's a very important matter; speaking of which, won't you invite us to rest in your sleeping palace?"

"Tsk." The Sea Princess clicked her tongue and waved at Tang Wulin and the others.

"Come on, follow me."

Having said that, she dove headfirst into the seawater.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong looked at the Snow Emperor; seeing her nod slightly, they also rushed into the water and followed the Sea Princess.

While the Sea Princess swiftly dove downward, she also kept an eye on Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong behind her, and couldn't help but feel secretly astonished.

To take revenge on the Snow Emperor, she didn't reduce her speed in the slightest; although it couldn't be called full power, it was already a speed that ordinary Honored Douluo, even Super Douluo, could not match, yet these two youngsters could easily keep up with her pace, which was truly remarkable.

Suddenly, the Snow Emperor's earlier words flashed through her mind: Could Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong really have a chance to join forces and defeat her? The Sea Princess hurriedly shook her head hard, driving that astonishing thought from her mind.

Impossible; this is her home turf, and her strength in the sea, even among Ultimate Douluo, belongs to the top tier—how could two mere humans under twenty compare?

She firmly held to her belief in her heart; at the same time, the sleeping palace the Snow Emperor mentioned entered everyone's view.

In the deep seabed, a palace-like structure silently appeared there; these buildings emitted a blue halo, illuminating the surrounding area for tens of li, and one could clearly see mermaids swimming within, while the structures were entirely constructed from coral in the sea and various rare minerals.

The scale of this coral palace project is considerable; the palace stands at least thirty meters tall and spans hundreds of meters wide—even in the human world, palaces of this scale are rare.

Moreover, within the palace there faintly emanates a rich soul power fluctuation, indicating it possesses some offensive and defensive capability; considering the palace lies in the deep sea, its security is beyond doubt.

Soon, under the Sea Princess's guidance, everyone arrived in a room entirely composed of pure white pearls.

When everyone arrived here, there were already two mermaids in the room, their appearances very similar, looking like a pair of sisters.

They seemed to have been chatting about something; upon seeing the Sea Princess enter, they quickly rose.

The Sea Princess waved at them and said: "It's nothing, just a few guests have come; you can stand to the side and listen."

Having said that, she turned to Tang Wulin and the others and introduced: "This is my eldest daughter Li Jing and my youngest daughter Li Ya, both trustworthy individuals."

After speaking, she sat down in the chair at the center of the room and said: "Come, speak up—what brings you to see me?"

Her choice of this room actually involved a little consideration.

The last time the Snow Emperor came to see her, her two daughters were still young, so she didn't let them meet.

But now it's different; the daughters have grown older, and it's time for them to meet this Lord of the Extreme North.

Connections like the Snow Emperor's are never too many.

The Snow Emperor said nothing, but stepped back and looked at Huo Yutong.

"Yutong, you explain."

Unlike the little white whom she trusts completely, the Sea Princess's relationship with her is actually not that good.

In that case, it's better to let Huo Yutong, as a completely third party, do the explaining.

Moreover, this trip was originally to find a soul spirit for her; at the very least, the Sea Princess should understand the object of her entrustment.
