141: Chapter 141 Abyss Demon Fish

The death of a large number of low-tier Sword-howling Fish finally attracted even more formidable Sword-howling Fish.

"Tier-2 Sword-howling Fish?!" Shen Bei exclaimed in shock.

The speed of the Tier-2 Sword-howling Fish was far faster than those Tier-1 Sword-howling Fish, and their attack range was even wider.

"If this continues, we will still be caught up to. You two go first, I'll hold them off for a while," Chen Changqing said to the two.

When Li Taixuan and Shen Bei looked at Chen Changqing, they nodded.

"Be careful," Li Taixuan reminded.

"Mhm." Chen Changqing stopped in mid-air, the Xuantian Demon-Slaying Saber appearing in his hand, his entire body's blood aura soaring into the sky as he raised his hand and slashed.

Streaks of slashes struck those Tier-2 Sword-howling Fish, instantly wiping out the group of Tier-2 Sword-howling Fish at the very front.

However, more Sword-howling Fish appeared from behind, replenishing that area in the blink of an eye.

Clang!

A large number of Tier-2 Sword-howling Fish emitted soundwaves, attacking Chen Changqing.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing hurriedly circulated the Spirit Refining Art.

When those soundwaves swept past Chen Changqing, they only made his expression somewhat unsightly, failing to truly injure him.

However, as more Tier-2 Sword-howling Fish attacked, these soundwaves stacked up, making their power even greater and surpassing the range that Chen Changqing could ignore in the blink of an eye.

Pfft!

Chen Changqing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood while raising his saber to slash out once more.

Every slash slaughtered a large number of Sword-howling Fish.

"Hah!" He exhaled a breath of foul air, turned his head to look at Li Taixuan and the other, and upon realizing that they had already distanced themselves, he finally activated the wind and cloud wings to chase after them.

The Sword-howling Fish behind closely pursued them. Chen Changqing casually threw out a stack of Talismans, then flew forward without even looking back.

After a while, Chen Changqing caught up with the two, and the group of Sword-howling Fish behind had already been left far behind.

"Are you alright?" Li Taixuan and the other inquired.

"I'm fine." Chen Changqing shook his head.

"Let's hurry up and leave. There are less than four days left until the Secret Realm closes; if we delay any longer, we might not make it in time," Chen Changqing continued.

If they wanted to leave the Secret Realm, they needed to reach the Secret Realm entrance before it closed. However, under normal circumstances, from places far away from the Secret Realm entrance, it was absolutely impossible to rush back relying on the escape speed of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Therefore, the Yuxu Sect had foreseen this long ago; they had once dispatched a group of Formation Masters to set up quite a few teleportation arrays within the Secret Realm.

Thanks to these teleportation arrays, they had the opportunity to leave the Secret Realm.

It was just that there were no teleportation arrays in the core area of the Secret Realm.

The three of them hurried on their way. Along the way, the fish Yaos in the Mo River no longer appeared, and who knew why? The surface of the river was much calmer than before, and even the previous group of Sword-howling Fish had vanished without a trace.

The three found it strange, but they didn't pay too much attention to it, and Bai Yuqing hadn't reminded Chen Changqing either.

Of course, not paying attention didn't mean the three of them weren't vigilant. Having struggled in the cultivation world for so many years, who would be stupid to any degree?

They advanced another dozens of li. Although the Divine Souls of the three were suppressed by the meta-magnetic ore beneath the Mo River, they weren't completely unusable, especially for Chen Changqing. Originally, his Divine Sense could detect a radius of ten li, but now only a radius of one li remained, yet within this one-li range, not a single living creature could be seen.

This was worth pondering over. Generally, such a situation occurred for no more than two reasons: either they had entered the territory of some powerful Yao Beast, or this place was unsuitable for other creatures to survive.

Just as they were thinking this, right before their eyes, a massive beast hundreds of zhang long leapt out of the water.

The terrifying aura caused the three of them to feel suffocated for a moment.

Bang!

That massive beast re-entered the river, creating waves of water all around.

"Let's go quickly, while it hasn't noticed us yet," Shen Bei reminded, and the three immediately retreated.

"This is a Tier-3 Yao Beast Abyss Demon Fish! Why is there this thing here?" Li Taixuan's tone carried shock and bewilderment.

"Grandpa, do you know what this is?" Seeing Li Taixuan's apprehension, Chen Changqing directly asked.

However, before Li Taixuan could speak, Shen Bei took the lead to explain, "Brother Li, I didn't expect you to also know about such a Yao Beast as the Abyss Demon Fish!"

"Brother Chen, you might not know, this Abyss Demon Fish is not a local species, but belongs to the sea region Yao Beasts, and furthermore, it is one of the extremely terrifying Yao Beasts among the sea region Yao Beasts."

"Upon reaching adulthood, they can attain the Tier-3 level. As long as they Cultivate normally, reaching Tier-4 is no difficult task. Legend has it that the Abyss Demon Fish is not a living entity of the Mortal Realm; they belong to—" Shen Bei continued speaking, then reached out and pointed towards the sky.

"You mean the Spirit Realm?!" Chen Changqing was startled.

"Does the Spirit Realm truly exist?" This time it was Li Taixuan who asked.

The hearts of the two were not calm at this moment.

Chen Changqing knew about the Spirit Realm because of his past life, but he hadn't expected that the world he transmigrated into also had the designation of the Spirit Realm.

As for Li Taixuan, he was shocked that the legend of the Spirit Realm was true.

"The Spirit Realm might be true, but for some unknown reason, it cut off contact with our Human Realm tens of thousands of years ago. However, these matters are too distant from us; let's talk about the immediate situation first."

"Logically speaking, the Abyss Demon Fish should live in the sea region, but for unknown reasons, this Abyss Demon Fish is within the Zifu Secret Realm controlled by the Yuxu Sect, and it has existed ever since the Yuxu Sect's Cultivators first entered this region. At that time, the Zifu Secret Realm was not yet controlled by the Yuxu Sect."

However, they had a guess that there might be a subterranean underground river leading to the sea region beneath this Mo River, because back then, a Golden Core Master personally came here and dived into the Mo River to investigate.

As a result, that Senior discovered that although this Mo River was not as magnificent as other rivers, it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. The underwater environment was far more dangerous and complex than other places. In the end, how that Senior handled it remains unknown; all that is known is that from then on, the entire Zifu Secret Realm was cordoned off and surrounded by Formations.
