101: Yes, yes, you're right.

Golden Core Peak?!

The moment that vast, boundless, and terrifying aura, like the might of Heaven, erupted from Ye Feiyan, the entire world seemed to freeze completely in that instant.

Bai Yunxi, Qin Xiaohui, and Lin Yao, whose figures had been filled with shock and despair, stood frozen in place like three statues struck by a binding spell.

The expressions on their faces were identical, all looking as if they had seen a ghost.

"Golden... Golden Core Peak?!"

Third Senior Sister Qin Xiaohui's beautiful eyes widened until they were round, her mouth hanging open wide enough to fit a fist.

She only felt her brain go "buzz" and turn completely blank.

This Junior Sister, who usually didn't like to interact with others and appeared extremely cold and detached, had a cultivation level... that had actually reached the same Golden Core Peak Realm as their Revered Master?!

This... this is a joke, right?!

And the Spirit Snake, who had been heavily wounded and was on the verge of death from that palm strike, also had a blank mind!

Are you kidding me?!

A Cultivator at the Golden Core Peak Realm is actually the... disciple of another Golden Core Peak Realm Cultivator?!

If this got out, who the hell would believe it?!

However, Ye Feiyan couldn't be bothered to waste another word on him.

Murderous intent flashed through her cold phoenix eyes.

She closed in on him once more.

"No!!!"

Seeing this, the Spirit Snake was terrified out of his wits!

Without a second thought, he tried to forcibly mobilize the remaining mana in his body to escape.

However... in the face of absolute suppression of Realm, all struggles were futile.

"Bang!"

Ye Feiyan's figure appeared before him like a ghost, and she struck with another palm.

This palm landed lightly on his Dantian.

"Crack!"

With a crisp shattering sound!

The Spirit Snake's Golden Core, which had been filled with immense mana, was instantly shattered by Ye Feiyan's palm.

His entire body collapsed limply to the ground like mud from which all the bones had been removed.

His cultivation, which he had been so proud of, was now destroyed.

Ye Feiyan looked down at him from above, her cold phoenix eyes as if she were looking at an ant that could be crushed at will.

"Speak. Tell me the locations of the other Hidden Agents you know of."

"Heh heh..."

Even though he had fallen to this state, the Spirit Snake was still stubborn.

He let out a strange laugh like a night owl, his murky old eyes filled with endless resentment and poison.

"Don't even think about it!"

"If you have the ability, then kill me."

"Kill you?"

Upon hearing this, a cold mockery appeared on Ye Feiyan's cold, beautiful face.

"That would be letting you off too easily."

As her voice fell, she slowly pointed her crystal-clear, slender finger toward the Spirit Snake's... Dantian.

A terrifying mana, filled with the aura of the Law of Destruction, instantly locked onto his already shattered... Soul core.

"You... what are you doing?!"

A sense of extreme foreboding suddenly rose in the Spirit Snake's heart.

"Nothing."

The corners of Ye Feiyan's mouth curled into a demonic arc.

"I just want you to personally experience the legendary... punishment of a thousand cuts."

Boom—!

As soon as these words were spoken, the Spirit Snake's face, which had been filled with resentment, was instantly replaced by a thick, suffocating fear that completely overwhelmed him.

For the Yin Spirit Clan, the splitting of a Soul core was the most painful punishment.

It was a dual agony of both body and Soul!

No Yin Spirit could withstand it!

"No! No!!!"

He was completely terrified and collapsed.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

Soon, Ye Feiyan obtained everything she wanted.

The locations of the three Hidden Agents, as well as their cultivation levels!

One was from the Blood Fiend Sect, at the Foundation Establishment Realm Peak.

The other two were Yin Spirits from the Myriad Spirits Sect, both at the Early Stage of the Golden Core Realm!

"Very good."

Having obtained the answers, Ye Feiyan did not go back on her word.

The mana at her fingertip exploded.

"Bang."

The Spirit Snake's Soul core was instantly detonated by her finger.

It could be considered giving him a quick end.

After doing all this, she slowly turned around to look at the Senior Brothers and Senior Sister who had been stunned into statues.

"Let's go," she said calmly.

"We are going to earn contribution value. As for this guy's contribution..."

She paused.

"We will split it equally among the four of us."

"Ah? Oh! Okay! Okay!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them snapped out of their daze, their faces filled with endless gratitude and... awe.

Afterward, Ye Feiyan did not stay a moment longer.

Her snow-white figure flickered, and she vanished alone into the endless night.

The real hunting moment! Had begun!

Mysterious Ink did not follow.

It returned to the courtyard with the three, who were still deeply shaken.

On the way back, the three of them were completely buzzing with excitement.

"My god! Junior Sister is just too... too fierce?!"

Third Senior Sister Qin Xiaohui, with an exaggerated expression, patted her already ample chest, her beautiful eyes still lingering with an indelible sense of shock.

"Golden Core Peak! That is Golden Core Peak!"

Second Senior Brother Lin Yao also sighed with a sense of reflected glory: "Yes! Who would have thought that our Junior Sister, who is usually so quiet, is actually the one hiding the deepest."

"Fellow Daoist Mysterious Ink!"

First Senior Sister Bai Yunxi cast an envious gaze upon Mysterious Ink.

"You truly have a good eye. To be able to recognize Junior Sister as your Revered Master, with Junior Sister's Heaven-Defying growth speed, you will surely bask in great glory in the future."

Hearing this heartfelt praise, Mysterious Ink did not refute it.

It merely glanced silently at its own Dragon body, which had already stepped into the Mid Fourth Tier Stage and was filled with explosive power.

It smiled inexplicably in its heart.

Ah, yes, yes, yes, you are all right.
