Regarding the arrival of the human nobles, the Merman Race, who had been instructed earlier, did not dare to receive them. Instead, they secretly watched the humans from the bottom of the sea.
However, the noble descendant standing at the forefront of the deck frowned slightly at the mermen's prying eyes.
He didn't say anything. He simply glanced sideways at one of the guards.
The warrior bowed and then came to the edge of the deck. He aimed at the bottom of the sea and slapped down. The strong battle aura of the Level-8 warrior caused the surface of the sea to churn. The battle aura spread to the bottom of the sea at the same time, and the members of the Merman Race who were swept up were injured.
The gazes from the seabed vanished completely.
The noble descendant curled his lips. "These lowly mermen actually dare to peek at us? Uncle Baal, you're too kind."
"If you asked me to do it, killing them all would be the only way to vent my anger."
At this moment, another noble lady spoke, "Li Yan, without the Merman Race below to protect the island above, it will be difficult for us to stop on this island. You wouldn't be able to stay here to comment on them and harm them."
"The ocean is not our territory after all."
Li Yan retorted, "Xue Yexing, we can incorporate the ocean into our territory until the world submits to the humans. Why should we care about the lives of some alien races?"
The girl called Xue Yexing turned around and stopped arguing.
Meanwhile, the soldiers standing on both sides seemed to have not heard anything. They did not participate nor evaluate.
This time, there were Level-8 warriors escorting them. Their main purpose was to protect Li Yan and Xue Yexing. Then, they would wait for their elders and teachers to come and bring them to the abyssal rift to increase their knowledge.
The soldiers would carry out orders from Li Yan and Xue Yexing according to the situation. If they kept issuing unreasonable orders, the soldiers would still follow them. However, these orders would be recorded and sent to their teachers and elders.
Meanwhile, if they were simply complaining and bickering, it was better to pretend that they did not hear anything.
Xue Yexing did not refute. Meanwhile, Li Yan did not have the interest to chase after her and question her. Instead, he jumped off the boat and wandered around the island.
They stayed for the night. When the sun rose the next day, two kind-looking elders appeared on the island. They wore gold medals engraved with magic arrays on their chests, which were the symbols of members of the Mage Union.
"Greetings, Grandfather. Greetings, Archmage Felan."
"Greetings, Archmage Shen Xing."
Li Yan and Xue Yexing bowed and greeted them at the same time, while the soldiers on the ship knelt on one knee.
Felan nodded with a smile and explained, "Get up, all of you. I wanted to bring you there directly, but the northernmost ocean domain is not a good place. We can't waste too much magic power on you, so we let you go ahead."
"Alright, let's go. I still have to go back and do magic experiments. I don't have time to do meaningless things." Shen Xing urged coldly.
Felan smiled and shook his head. "How can it be meaningless? If we really find that legendary Poison Dragon, it will be a great contribution. Cutting some dragon meat and bringing it back to make magic materials might have a miraculous effect."
"They owe us a favor for saving those people."
Shen Xing was not so optimistic. "The Demigods died, and we might have ended up the same way. The race talent of the Poison Dragon bloodline is too terrifying."
"It's said that the two dragons hadn't obtained the acknowledgment of the Poison Dragon Ancestor and were unable to awaken their bloodline talent. Thus, their talents are rather poor."
Felan rolled his eyes. "Alright, let's go."
"If you keep talking, I'm going to regret accompanying an old guy like you out here. You're not like this when you take on missions."
Shen Xing smiled slightly. He waved his hand and swept Li Yan and Xue Yexing up into the sky before flying towards the abyssal rift.
The reason he had come out this time wasn't because of that legendary Poison Dragon. After all, even if he had obtained the corpse of the Poison Dragon, he definitely wouldn't have had a share of it. The hunting team that had needed him to save them back then had all died now. As for those who didn't need him to save them, he didn't even have the chance to help them.
Instead, his goal was the child of that mother Poison Dragon!
Shen Xing didn't believe that the Poison Dragon would bring her child along when they were about to enter the abyssal rift. Instead, her child must be in the northernmost sea region!!!
If he hunted down the young Poison Dragon on his own, he couldn't guarantee that he would obtain the benefits, so he had pulled Felan along.
At this moment, Felan was still in the dark, thinking that it was a normal quest.
The two Archmagi brought the two noble children into the depths of the northern ocean domain. However, it was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but their route happened to pass by Lei Luo's original island.
At this moment, Lei Luo knew nothing about this. He was hurrying along with Shardin, Sharbao, and the merman priest.
Their newly chosen island was quite far away. They still needed two days to reach the new island.
…
The next day, while Lei Luo was still on his way, Felan and Shen Xing had already brought Li Yan and Xue Yexing to the island where Lei Luo had lived.
Felan stood on the island, frowning. "Something doesn't seem right here. I sense an aura that makes me uncomfortable."
"Hmm?" Shen Xing turned around and took a look. "I have the same feeling. The aura seems to originate from the sky."
The two of them looked up at the sky. It was exactly where the golden eyes had appeared.
Meanwhile, Li Yan and Xue Yexing wandered around the island.
Felan waved his hand and cast a scouting spell, preparing to see whose aura it was. However, the spell automatically shattered halfway.
This was a loss of face in front of his old friend, so Felan immediately cast the spell again.
However, the result was the same.
Then, Shen Xing took out his magic staff and cast a scouting spell.
Finally, layers of ripples appeared in the sky. A pair of golden eyes appeared and looked down.
"Are those human mages? Get lost!"
After the pair of golden eyes took a few glances at them, it seemed to come back to its senses and released a nasty spiritual fluctuation. Then, it removed its aura. This way, the scouting technique could not alarm it.
The pair of eyes had thought that it was the little Poison Dragon that had escaped death, but it hadn't expected it to be humans.
Since when did Legendary Realm experts dare to provoke him?
Meanwhile, Felan and Shen Xing's faces turned slightly pale. There was only one thought in their minds — the peak Demigod of the Dragon Race.
After the aura dissipated, an even more ancient aura appeared.
This time, the two of them did not dare to investigate casually and allowed it to exist.
Felan and Shen Xing sighed. Back when they chased after the Poison Dragon and entered this sea region, the aura of the Dragon Race was left behind here. The two of them immediately thought of many things. Perhaps the matter back then was more complicated than they had imagined. Otherwise, three Demigods wouldn't have died in an instant. The actions of the upper echelons of the Mage Union were also unfathomable.
However, those were not things Legendary Realm experts like them could come into contact with.
Suddenly, Li Yan and Xue Yexing's cries could be heard from afar.
Had something happened?
Shen Xing and Felan cast their flying spells. When they arrived beside Li Yan and Xue Yexing, they found that the two of them were fine and were staring at a hole that had been dug.
The hole was not deep. It was only half a meter deep and was covered by rocks. If one did not observe it carefully, they might miss it.
"These seem to be the claw marks of the Poison Dragon. They have stopped here before. Should we turn back time?"
"Have you forgotten about the existence just now? Are you courting death?"
"Continue to explore further. Let's go to the abyssal rift and take a look. Then, we can come back and study it carefully."
Shen Xing stopped Felan who wanted to go back in time and left the island with Li Yan and Xue Yexing.
After they left, a cold snort came from the void.
A sea breeze appeared out of nowhere, scraping across all the sea areas that Lei Luo had been active in since his birth. It seemed to eliminate something and add something else.
At the bottom of the sea, the magic array carved by the merman priest with his blood shattered.
