These Demon Martial Artists were truly ruthless and quick to act, and without sufficient strength, one would likely be devoured down to the bones.
After resting at the station for one night,
Lin Yi and Shangguan Xinyan left the station, rented a Magic Ship, and headed for the Holy Spirit Mountain Range.
This type of Magic Ship, specially used within the Water Spirit Secret Realm, had its interior filled with Engravings and required only one or two people to operate, making it very convenient.
The Water Spirit Secret Realm consisted predominantly of oceans, with only ten percent being land.
Among those lands was the Holy Spirit Mountain Range.
Although the Secret Realm was mostly controlled by the Demon Sect, there still existed large unknown waters where many powerful Demon Beasts lived.
On their way to the Holy Spirit Mountain Range, the pair encountered numerous Demon Beasts, but only a few could truly threaten them.
As they drew closer to the Holy Spirit Mountain Range, Lin Yi and Shangguan Xinyan noticed an increasing number of vessels around them.
It was clear that many people came to the Holy Spirit Mountain Range for adventure.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Lin Yi couldn’t help but say, "Is this Holy Spirit Mountain Range a treasure trove to attract so many people?"
Shangguan Xinyan merely glanced at those Magic Ships and then gazed toward the distance ahead, "The Holy Spirit Mountain Range has always been rumored to house a Demon Dragon Nest with a Venerable Realm Demon Dragon living inside."
"Demon Dragon? Venerable Realm?"
Lin Yi’s face immediately showed an incredulous expression.
A Venerable Realm Demon Dragon was a dominant force throughout the Eastern Domain, how could such a powerful creature exist in a small place like the Water Spirit Secret Realm?
Shangguan Xinyan shook her head, "It’s just a rumor. Once, the Blood Empress, Dragon Demon Venerable, and Yellow Springs Venerable from the Demon Sect joined forces to enter the Holy Spirit Mountain Range to track down the Demon Dragon, but they found nothing and left empty-handed."
"The rumors about the Demon Dragon Nest then subsided."
Lin Yi nodded his head. Since three Venerables from the Demon Sect had been there and found nothing, the chances of the Demon Dragon Nest truly existing were likely slim.
"However, if it’s just a rumor, why are there still so many people rushing here?"
Lin Yi quickly noticed something unusual.
Shangguan Xinyan slightly nodded her head, "You can say the Demon Dragon Nest doesn’t exist, but nearby where those adventures head, those powerful beings often gain some small or large opportunities. So, whether the Demon Dragon Nest actually exists may not be so important to people."
Lin Yi nodded slightly. As long as opportunities could be found, who cared whether it really was the Demon Dragon Nest?
"I always feel that this Demon Dragon Nest is not simple, we must explore it if we get the chance."
Lin Yi propped his chin, his face revealing an interested expression.
Shangguan Xinyan frowned and said, "If you want to go to the Demon Dragon Nest, I can accompany you, but don’t forget the serious business you promised me before that."
Lin Yi casually said, "I will first help you find the Holy Spirit Spring to cleanse the inner demon."
Seeing that Lin Yi hadn’t forgotten their agreement, Shangguan Xinyan was secretly relieved. She had been worried that Lin Yi might leave her here and go to the Demon Dragon Nest by himself.
But Lin Yi didn’t do that. It seemed she had chosen the right person for this trip.
Soon, on the water in front of them, they could suddenly see a majestic mountain range, most of which was submerged, but a significant part still emerged above the water.
However, the entire mountain range was enveloped in thick fog, making it difficult to see its full appearance, only revealing a vague outline, like a primordial Giant Beast lurking on the water’s surface.
"This is the Holy Spirit Mountain Range."
Shangguan Xinyan’s eyes sparkled slightly, the place they were searching for was finally in sight.
Not only them, but other Demon Martial Artists who came to the Holy Spirit Mountain Range also showed surprise on their faces upon seeing the outline of the mountains.
But at that moment, the waters suddenly became turbulent, tremendous waves continuously swept in, causing the water area to boil.
All the Magic Ships near the Holy Spirit Mountain Range were tossed violently.
Beneath the water, a huge shadow gradually enlarged.
Lin Yi looked at the rapidly enlarging shadow, his face also subtly changed, "Not good!"
"Demon Beast attack!"
Lin Yi immediately channeled a surge of True Yuan into the Spiritual Ship, trying to escape the range of the shadow.
But it was still a step too late.
A towering spray of water suddenly exploded on the surface, instantly shattering a dozen Magic Ships.
The shadow broke through the water surface, revealed as a bizarre fish with a grey and slippery body hundreds of feet long, yet possessing a strange human face.
Dozens of Demon Martial Artists died instantly.
Most of them were devoured by the giant fish’s thick lips and large mouth, becoming the prey in its mouth.
