56: Lin Yao was stunned. There was even a late-stage Tier 3 demon beast corpse?

She abruptly turned her head. The next second, those cold phoenix eyes were completely filled with endless shock and disbelief!

She saw that Mysterious Ink's massive python body did not retreat; instead, it proactively met that terrifying Qi, transforming into a black flash of death and charging forward!

After only a few breaths, accompanied by a sharp wail filled with unwillingness and despair, the arrogant aura of the Third Order Late Stage Yao Beast... abruptly ceased.

Moments later, Mysterious Ink leisurely swam back, dragging the corpse of a Giant Ape-like Yao Beast several times larger than itself.

Ye Feiyan was instantly dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at the Third Order Late Stage Yao Beast corpse, which had long lost its life force, then looked at Mysterious Ink, feeling that her worldview had, once again, been shattered into pieces at this moment.

"You..." She pointed at Mysterious Ink, her voice trembling slightly. "Aren't you... Third Tier Mid Stage?"

—You promised, you guaranteed, that you only had Third Tier Mid Stage cultivation!

—So what is this strength that can instantly kill a Third Order Late Stage beast?!

"Oh, that." Mysterious Ink's mental projection was filled with a sense of "sorry." "Just now, I accidentally had another Breakthrough."

"So, Little Girl, you need to work harder and keep up with my pace."

"..."

Ye Feiyan was completely speechless.

She glared fiercely at this bastard who was acting innocent after gaining an advantage, and squeezed a few words through gritted teeth.

"You... Freak!"

After routinely telling Mysterious Ink to "just wait and see" and that she "would definitely catch up to it."

She then asked suspiciously, with an extremely distrustful look, "Then are you really only Third Order Late Stage cultivation now?"

Mysterious Ink glanced at its attribute panel, which had already reached Third Tier Peak, and then its massive head nodded vigorously like a chick pecking rice.

"Gone! Truly gone! This time I am definitely Third Order Late Stage!"

Seeing its appearance, Ye Feiyan immediately rolled her eyes.

—You said the same thing last time!

...Carrying the mountain of Yao Beast corpses, the person and the snake quickly returned to Three Seas City and found Second Senior Brother Lin Yao.

"Second Senior Brother, I wanted to ask, is there a place in the city that specializes in purchasing Yao Beast corpses?"

"Purchasing Yao Beast corpses?" Lin Yao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately patted his chest and confidently declared, "Junior Sister, you've asked the right person! Why look elsewhere? Just sell them directly to your Senior Brother!"

"You should know that Yao Beast corpses are treasures from head to toe for our Beast Taming Sect!

Especially their flesh and blood, which can be refined into 'Nourishing Spirit Pills' for one's contracted Yao Beasts to consume and increase their cultivation! If you sell them to your Senior Brother, the price will absolutely be fair, and I guarantee you won't suffer a loss!"

Ye Feiyan nodded when she heard this, but then said hesitantly, "It's just... the amount I have this time might be... a bit much."

"Much?" Lin Yao laughed heartily upon hearing this, his face full of confidence. "Junior Sister, don't worry! I, your Second Senior Brother, have been operating in Three Seas City for so many years. What grand spectacle haven't I seen?

Forget about just one day's haul; even if you had ten days' worth, your Senior Brother would take it all! I can handle it!"

"In that case... alright."

Ye Feiyan led him to the spacious courtyard behind the shop.

Then, under Lin Yao's gaze, which was filled with confidence and anticipation, she poured out all the piled-up Yao Beast corpses from her storage ring.

Rumble—

Instantly.

Lin Yao, who had been full of confidence just a second ago, had the smile on his face completely freeze.

He stared blankly at the small mountain of Yao Beast corpses in front of him, and he began to sweat profusely.

Cold sweat streamed down his temples.

The night was like water, but the courtyard was deathly silent.

Lin Yao stood dumbfounded where he was.

His eyes, normally sharp and clever, were now wide and round, fixed intensely on the "Corpse Mountain" piled up from the bodies of dozens of powerful Yao Beasts. A layer of fine cold sweat on his temples glistened under the moonlight.

This is bad!

He spoke too soon!

A powerful emotion, named "regret for not stopping earlier," instantly overwhelmed all his rationality!

He had originally thought that even if his Junior Sister, who had just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm, was exceptionally talented, hunting five or six Second Order Demon Beasts in a single day would be her limit.

But now... what the hell is this in front of him?!

How is this five or six beasts? This looks like she slaughtered half the population of Second Order Demon Beasts in the outer perimeter of the Tianyun Mountain Range!

"Second Senior Brother?"

Just as his mind was shaken and his brain went blank, Ye Feiyan's cold voice gently sounded.

"Can you... still handle all of this?"

"Cough... cough cough!"

Lin Yao choked on his own saliva and coughed violently. He forcefully suppressed the tumultuous waves in his heart, wiped the cold sweat from his temples, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I... I can handle it!" He put on a brave face and pretended to be capable. "Of... of course I can handle it! It's just that... the quantity is indeed a tiny bit more than I imagined... Hehe... a tiny bit..."

Although he said this, his heart was already filled with lamentation.

The value of so many Second Order Demon Beast corpses had already far exceeded the limit that his small "Myriad Beast Pavilion" could bear!

It seemed unavoidable that he would have to request aid from the Sect afterward.

He composed himself and stepped forward, carefully examining the Yao Beast corpses, preparing to estimate their value one by one.

"Hmm, a Second Tier Mid Stage Iron Armored War Tiger. Its hide is intact, and its claws and fangs are all present. Not bad, not bad..."

"Huh? Is this a Second Stage Late-Phase Wind Blade Leopard? Extremely fast and incredibly difficult to hunt. Junior Sister, how did you..."

However, after he inspected a few more corpses, the heart he had just managed to calm down immediately jumped back into his throat! And once again, sweat poured down his temples!

"Third... Third Stage Early Phase?!"

He looked at the three Yao Beast corpses in front of him, which emitted distinctly different terrifying auras, and his voice began to tremble uncontrollably!

He had thought that this Corpse Mountain contained, at most, only Second Order Demon Beasts.

But he never imagined that beings of the Third Tier were also mixed in!

Especially... when his gaze finally fell upon the Third Order Late Stage Giant Ape—a beast whose corpse, though long dead, still radiated a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble—he felt his mind go "buzz," turning completely blank!

Lin Yao was completely numb!

Subconsciously, he glanced back at Ye Feiyan, who was standing calmly to the side, and the small black snake lazily yawning on her shoulder.
