At Star Luo Empire's palace, Amon's main body curved his lips, revealing a smile:

"Gerhman's betrayal can bring pressure, devouring the flesh and blood essence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King can promote the growth of strength... but it's still not enough... Don't rush, there are many more adventures waiting for you. Accept it well, this gift of fate."

He raised his right hand, pinching the top and bottom edges of his monocle with his index finger and thumb, then supported himself on the tiles with both hands, leaped forward, and disappeared into the void.

......

After flying in the sky for half an hour, Tang San's consciousness gradually blurred, and he couldn't help but want to fall asleep.

But he suddenly realized that he was slowly falling downwards.

With a jolt, he woke up, struggling to twist his body, turned over, and faced downwards.

There was a small island in front of him. Judging from his flight trajectory, he determined that he would land on that island.

In order to more accurately grasp the timing of when to activate "Invincible Golden Body", he released his mental power.

Soon, he's about to land...

A faint golden light suddenly bloomed on Tang San's body, and he activated "Invincible Golden Body".

Then, he fell to the ground like a meteorite, making a loud "boom".

Tang San crawled out of the pit he had created upon landing, patted the dust off his body, and looked curiously to his side, feeling as if he had hit something just now.

Then, he saw two bloody messes.

Although the main parts had been smashed to pieces, Tang San still recognized the true identities of these two things from the eight long legs and the desire transmitted from his Eight Spider Lances.

These were two Man-Faced Demon Spiders!

Moreover, their cultivation was very high, both approaching the hundred-thousand-year level!

Tang San couldn't help but feel a burst of fear. If he hadn't been lucky enough to hit them, he probably wouldn't have been a match for them in his current state and might have become their food.

But this also made him understand the terror of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King even more... The power he carried when he fell was only a negligible remnant of that attack, yet even so, it easily killed two Man-Faced Demon Spiders approaching the hundred-thousand-year level! How terrifying was that?

Tang San followed the desire transmitted from his Eight Spider Lances, inserting four spider lances into the corpses of the two Man-Faced Demon Spiders respectively.

Icy energy flowed into Tang San's body along the Eight Spider Lances, condensing on his back.

When this energy entered his back, it gave Tang San an extremely hot feeling.

The bodies of the Man-Faced Demon Spiders became shriveled, and the carapace on their bodies gradually softened. After the Eight Spider Lances completely devoured them, they began to change.

The length of the Eight Spider Lances began to shrink, and streaks of blood-colored lines spread. At the same time, a layer of exoskeleton-like material began to extend from the Eight Spider Lances, wrapping Tang San's chest, abdomen, and back.

A hint of joy appeared on Tang San's face. The Eight Spider Lances had evolved! Becoming more powerful and more perfect.

He felt that the quality of this external spirit bone had reached the hundred-thousand-year level, comparable to the left arm bone provided by Xiao Wu.

Then, he began to process the flesh and blood essence he had devoured from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. That enormous energy was even more powerful than his own soul power, to the point where it overwhelmed his soul power and suppressed it, rendering it unable to move.

After a little thought, he decided to guide this force into the Eight Spider Lances. Because when the Eight Spider Lances absorbed the power of the Man-Faced Demon Spiders just now, some of this energy from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King also entered the Eight Spider Lances along with the energy of the Man-Faced Demon Spiders. This showed that the Eight Spider Lances could completely store and carry this energy.

Tang San used his mental power to guide these extremely pure energies that were incompatible with his soul power bit by bit.

For some reason, he felt as if something in his body was helping to dredge the energy, guiding it extremely smoothly.

He thought this process would be more painful and longer. But it didn't take much time and there wasn't much pain.

After completely digesting and absorbing these unexpected gains, Tang San also felt puzzled in his heart. How could Man-Faced Demon Spiders appear on this island for no reason? Shouldn't they be living in Star Dou Great Forest?

Unable to figure it out, Tang San didn't dwell on it too much. He began to explore the surroundings.

The top priority now was to determine his location, find his companions, and then go to Seagod Island.

However, Tang San didn't act blindly. He was not in good condition.

Although devouring two Man-Faced Demon Spiders had evolved the Eight Spider Lances, and digesting and absorbing the flesh and blood essence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had made him stronger than before, his spirit was very tired.

If he wasn't in this unknown environment, but in a relatively familiar and safe place, he could fall asleep immediately.

After confirming that there were no major dangers around, he found a large rock and rested against it for a nap.

Half a day later, Tang San woke up leisurely.

The sun was setting in the west, nearing dusk. The setting sun burned the horizon red, and the white clouds were rendered golden red, like giant dragons entrenched in the sky.

The eastern sky was shrouded in deep blue, a color that suddenly reminded Tang San of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who had almost killed him not long ago.

After searching for a while, Tang San found five rugged-looking men wearing sailor outfits.

They were talking.

"Have you heard? One of our ships was hijacked."

"What? Hijacked?" Another person's face showed astonishment. "Our Purple Pearl Pirate Group is the largest pirate group in this area. Who would be so reckless as to hijack our ship?"

"Well, this outrageous thing just happened. Now the captain is gathering the soul masters in the group, preparing to give those people a lesson."

Tang San patiently eavesdropped for a while. After they stopped mentioning useful information, he used the Tang Sect's unique skill "Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track" and quietly came to their side.

"Where is this place?" Tang San suddenly spoke.

The pirates were startled by the sudden appearance of the figure. They sized up Tang San and immediately judged that the clothes on his body were expensive, and when they saw the "Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges", their eyes lit up.

Although they didn't know that the "Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges" was a soul tool, and didn't know its specific value, they understood from the gems decorated on it that it was definitely a valuable item.

"Little brother, don't you know where this is?" A pirate smiled unkindly.

"Well, I encountered a shipwreck and got separated from my companions," Tang San nodded.

The pirates exchanged glances, feeling that Tang San was wearing luxurious clothes and had a calm temperament, not like an ordinary person. They were not confident that they could take him down, so they decided to stabilize him first, trick him into their lair, and then deal with him properly.

"That's really a pity. Would you like to come to our village as a guest? We'll ask the others to see if they've encountered your companions."

Tang San smiled slightly. From the information he had overheard, he knew that they were pirates. Now that these people were inviting him to be a guest, their intentions were self-evident.

However, Tang San happened to need someone to lead the way. He didn't think that he, a high-level Soul Sage, would be in danger against a group of pirates.

So he said, "Then I'll trouble you."

The pirates were overjoyed. This young man, although he looked calm, didn't seem to have a very strong sense of vigilance.

They walked and chatted about various things.

"Are there many people in your village?" Tang San asked.

"There are more than two thousand people, of which more than one thousand are able to work, all of whom make a living by fishing," a pirate replied.

Tang San's heart moved. He had already decided to let this group of pirates help him find his companions. As for whether to reach an agreement through transactions or threaten them with force, it would depend on the situation.

Crossing a dense forest, the five pirates led Tang San to a village composed of a large number of wooden houses. The location of the village was relatively hidden, with a river running through the village, surrounded by mountains on two sides and a large forest on the other.

"Is this your base? Alright, we're here. Call your boss out," Tang San didn't pretend anymore after arriving at his destination and said straightforwardly.

"How can you see our boss whenever you want?" A pirate subconsciously opened his mouth, and then he realized that Tang San seemed to have realized that they were not ordinary fishermen.

"Heh, it seems you've guessed our identity, and you still dared to come with us. You're quite bold," the pirate's eyes revealed a fierce light.

He blew three short whistles. This was the code they had agreed upon. Different levels of prey corresponded to different whistles. Tang San was judged by him to be a somewhat dangerous prey, so after the whistle sounded, dozens of people with weapons such as knives, swords, and harpoons immediately poured out of the village.

They surrounded Tang San, and a tall, thin man walked out, chuckling:

"Ho... looks like a fat sheep."

Tang San felt soul power fluctuations from him. This was a soul master!

He revealed a smile: "Let's go together. After I beat you all down, your boss should come out, right?"

As he spoke, Tang San burst out with his Soul Sage aura.

The powerful soul power pressure made the thin man's face twitch. His face changed again and again, and finally turned into a smile with a hint of flattery:

"This lord, I was saying that the village was just roasting a whole lamb, what flavor do you like? Want to see the boss? Please wait a moment, I will send someone to report."

His obsequious attitude made Tang San laugh dumbfounded and nodded: "Let him come out to see me quickly, I don't have much patience."

"Yes, yes..."

The thin man gave a wink to one of the people beside him, and that person immediately ran towards the village.

In the very center of the village, in a three-story small building that was obviously taller than the other houses, a woman wearing a purple robe, with a well-proportioned figure, purple hair and eyes, and heroic spirit, was cursing.

"Is he stupid? He went to rob but was captured instead.

Now they even ask us to redeem him... are we pirates or are they pirates! These wastes!"

"Boss, boss... something bad happened, a high-level soul master came outside, saying that he wants the boss to see him."

"High-level soul master? How high?" Purple Pearl raised an eyebrow.

"Soul Sage."

"Oh, Soul Sage... lead the way." Purple Pearl didn't say much and answered very simply.

"But boss, that's a Soul Sage, shouldn't we call more people?"

"What if he doesn't have patience? This is my territory, it's not too late to respond after confirming his intentions," Purple Pearl responded with a confident look.

Under the leadership of the younger brother, she came to the entrance of the village.
