When they saw Mu Jinyu had no reaction upon hearing about the Eastern Sea Dragon Nest and instead showed a look of confusion, the others immediately understood that Mu Jinyu and his group had come to Yang City not specifically for the Eastern Sea Dragon Nest, but had merely stumbled upon this situation by coincidence.
However, after realizing this, they didn't feel any disappointment, just annoyed with themselves for unintentionally letting Mu Jinyu in on the information.
After all, even if Mu Jinyu and his group didn't currently know about the Eastern Sea Dragon Nest, with their status, they would eventually find out, sooner or later; it was only a matter of time.
The Taoist-robed youth explained, "Yes, it's the Eastern Sea Dragon Nest. Recently, there have been rumors in Yang City that someone discovered the ruins of an ancient dragon nest here. Dragon roars can often be heard, and dragon shadows can be seen soaring into the sky at night."
"So our master and grandfather sent us to check out the situation," added the youth in a suit.
Upon hearing their words, Mu Jinyu's confusion deepened. "Wait, did you say the Eastern Sea Dragon Nest? If there really is one, geographically speaking, shouldn't it be in Su Province?"
He looked at them in surprise and asked, "Why did you come to the Southern Yue Province then? Isn't this the Southern Sea?"
The youth in a suit explained, "The ancient dragon nest was located in the Eastern Sea, but with time passing and tectonic movements, it's not unusual for it to have drifted to the Southern Sea."
Hearing this, Mu Jinyu thought it made some sense.
He pondered for a moment, thinking that even if the dragon nest had something valuable, it probably wouldn't be of much use to him now since his blood was that of the Divine Dragon. What was a common dragon nest to him?
Therefore, Mu Jinyu was somewhat disinterested in the Eastern Sea Dragon Nest.
But on second thought, perhaps there might be some good resources at the dragon nest, which could help Mei Yinxue and Lin Qiaoxia to break through to the Fanxu Realm sooner.
"Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow to take a look," Mu Jinyu nodded and agreed.
"Sure, let's talk tomorrow," the youth in a suit and the Taoist-robed youth responded with smiles, visibly pleased by Mu Jinyu's words.
Judging by Mu Jinyu's strength, having defeated Wang Ye effortlessly, their chance of finding the dragon nest would greatly increase with Mu Jinyu and Gu Xiyan's group accompanying them. The risk of encountering attacks from sea beasts would also be significantly reduced.
Mu Jinyu nodded towards them, casually tossed aside Wang Ye's body, and left the room with Gu Xiyan and the others.
They returned to their presidential suite.
Yin Li was still eating ice cream without a care in the world. Hearing the door open, she glanced at them briefly before returning her attention to her dessert.
"Do you really plan to act with them? Even if you're interested in the dragon nest, couldn't we just go by ourselves? Why join them?" Gu Xiyan asked Mu Jinyu, frowning slightly.
Mu Jinyu plopped down on the sofa, wrapped an arm around Wen Rou and Lin Qiaoxia's slender waists, leaned lazily against the sofa, and chuckled, "It's no big deal. After all, the information came from them, and we're not afraid of them playing tricks. So, what's the harm in letting them tag along?"
"Alright then." Gu Xiyan thought it over and agreed, deciding not to say more.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next morning.
Mu Jinyu got up, woke up Gu Xiyan and the others, and they went downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.
In the restaurant, they ran into the Taoist-robed youth and his companions, exchanged a few greetings, and then met up at the hotel entrance.
"Brother Mu, did you have a good rest? Shall we set off to find the dragon nest now?"
The Taoist-robed youth asked Mu Jinyu with a smile.
Initially, when it was just the seven of them, they had planned to set off early in the morning to search for the dragon nest.
But with Wang Ye dead and Mu Jinyu agreeing to join their expedition to find the dragon nest, they naturally wanted to ask for Mu Jinyu's opinion first.
That's also why they went downstairs for breakfast this morning; otherwise, upon waking, they would have directly set off long ago.
"Mm, let's go."
Mu Jinyu nodded and then got into the car, heading with them towards the port.
Along the way, the closer they got to the sea, the sparser the population seemed, in stark contrast to the bustle of the past.
After all, with the revival of Spiritual Energy, not only have mountain beasts evolved and grown stronger, but also the various ocean-dwelling creatures have become even more terrifying.
There have been numerous horrific sea beast invasions, causing unimaginable casualties.
If sea beasts didn't prefer living in the ocean, the coastal areas might have long since become forbidden zones, inaccessible to humans.
Yet, even so, those who used to make a living fishing or trading by the sea have now moved away from the coast, rarely daring to approach the sea.
When Mu Jinyu and the others arrived at what was once Yang City's most famous port, they found it completely deserted, a picture of desolation and ruin.
Everywhere they looked were ruins and wreckage, faintly hinting at the destruction wrought when sea beasts stormed onto the shores, wildly rampaging and killing!
"Brother Mu, come, the boat is over here."
Mu Jinyu had just stepped out of the car when the Taoist-robed youth waved to him from a distance.
Given that even the lowest among them was at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, in the past, they wouldn't have needed a boat to seek out the dragon nest. They could have flown over the sea or walked on water, which would have been much more convenient.
But now, the sea had become the most dangerous place on Earth, and typically, cultivators of the Divine Transformation Realm were reluctant to venture out to sea.
If they did, they would no longer rely solely on their own powers, but nor would they use ordinary boats. Instead, they would use ships made of special materials, ensuring that if they encountered a sea beast attack, they'd still have the means to fight or flee.
Hearing the call, Mu Jinyu looked up, frowning slightly.
The boat they had prepared was incredibly basic, resembling a simple fishing boat, though because of its special material, even cultivators around the sixth layer of the Divine Transformation Realm might not be able to destroy it easily.
In case of danger, it would allow them ample time to prepare.
It could be considered a barely passable magical treasure.
It probably took the group considerable effort and resources to acquire this boat.
However, for Mu Jinyu, it held little significance.
"Let's just use my vessel."
Mu Jinyu's frown relaxed, as he suggested to the Taoist-robed youth's group.
"Huh?!"
They were surprised at Mu Jinyu's suggestion and asked, "Does Brother Mu have a ship ready?"
They felt puzzled, thinking that even if Mu Jinyu had a storage bag, he wouldn't typically carry a boat with him on such trips.
"It's not really a ship but a flying boat. It can be used to cross the sea," Mu Jinyu explained simply, then waved his hand over the ground, pulling a top-grade spiritual treasure level flying boat from his storage bag.
"This is..."
"A top-grade magical treasure level flying boat?!"
"No, wait... judging by the flowing spiritual charm, it's probably... a spiritual treasure?!"
The Taoist-robed youth and his companions were taken aback by the top-grade spiritual treasure flying boat that Mu Jinyu produced, exclaiming in astonishment.
