97: Why don't you try moving it?

As the words fell.

Ye Feiyan moved!

Her beautiful figure, clad in white robes purer than snow, merely swayed gently before silently merging into the endless night like a ghost.

Inside the courtyard, dead silence once again reigned.

On the bed, Mysterious Ink's majestic dragon pupils lazily lifted their lids.

Then, he yawned listlessly.

Just a mere clown at the Foundation Establishment Realm Peak.

He wasn't qualified to make Mysterious Ink personally act... Meanwhile.

Outside another courtyard in Fallen Immortal City, one exclusively for Personal Disciples.

A strange figure, completely black and seemingly merged with the entire night, was quietly lurking in the shadows.

His name was Spirit Ant.

He was the top-tier assassin jointly cultivated by the Blood Fiend Sect and the Myriad Spirits Sect!

In his hand, he held an intelligence Jade Slip, emitting a faint scent of blood.

Target: Bai Yunxi

Identity: Beast Taming Sect, Senior Disciple under Immortal Master Jinyun

Talent: Earthly Spiritual Root

cultivation: Foundation Establishment Realm Peak

Beast Taming: Fourth Tier Bloodline, White Spirit Fox (currently Second Tier Peak)

Evaluation: One of the six great beauties of the Beast Taming Sect, a favored daughter of heaven, threat Rank: High!

Spirit Ant looked at the information on the Jade Slip, and the corner of his mouth, hidden beneath his black robe, slowly curved into a bloodthirsty and cruel arc.

"Hehe..."

"One of the six great beauties of the Beast Taming Sect?"

"What a pity..."

"Tonight, she will perish like a fading flower."

He laughed eerily, his voice hoarse and filled with endless greed!

He himself was now also at the Foundation Establishment Realm Peak!

As long as he completed this mission and successfully assassinated this favored daughter of heaven from the Beast Taming Sect.

The Sect would bestow upon him the supreme Opportunity that would allow him to ascend to the Golden Core Realm in one step!

Golden Core!

Thinking of the Realm pursued by countless people, the smile on his face became even more savage!

He no longer hesitated, his figure, like a ghost, silently moved towards the lit courtyard, preparing to sneak in!

However!

Just as he was about to act!

A clear, cold female voice, filled with endless chill and a hint of playfulness, unexpectedly echoed behind him.

"Beast Spirit..."

"That's quite interesting."

Boom—!!!!!!!

This sudden sound, like a thunderbolt from the Nine Heavens, struck Spirit Ant's crown!

He was startled!

All the hairs on his body stood on end in that instant!

How was this possible?!

Someone actually discovered him?!

Without thinking, his figure, already merged with the night, instantly retreated dozens of feet in an extremely strange manner!

It wasn't until he felt he was in an absolutely safe position that he finally turned around in horror to look in the direction of the voice!

There, a peerlessly beautiful figure, clad in white robes purer than snow and exuding an incomparable grace, was quietly suspended in mid-air.

Her clear, cold phoenix eyes were observing him with interest.

As if she was looking at a prey that had delivered itself to her doorstep?

"You... who are you?!"

Spirit Ant's voice had long lost its previous cruelty and smugness, leaving only endless shock and... vigilance!

"Beast Spirit."

Ye Feiyan answered with a non sequitur.

Her clear, cold phoenix eyes seemed capable of seeing through all illusions in the world!

"It is a very special existence within the Yin Spirit Clan."

"They can devour the Divine Souls of other living beings to plunder their talents and abilities from when they were alive."

"Looking at you..."

She paused, a mocking curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"You must have devoured quite a few 'Night Ants' Divine Souls, right?"

"Otherwise, how could you have acquired such a special stealth ability, capable of merging with the night?"

"!!!"

At these words, Spirit Ant was completely stunned!

His eyes, hidden beneath the black robe, widened, and his face was filled with endless, absurd, ghost-like disbelief!

She... how could she know his background?!

And... know it so clearly, so plainly?!

An unprecedented, deadly sense of crisis instantly enveloped his entire body!

He subconsciously tried to probe the other party's cultivation!

However... no matter how he urged his Divine Sense.

This white-robed woman before him seemed like a ghost that did not exist in this world!

He simply could not see through her in the slightest!

This could only mean one thing!

That is... the opponent's strength far surpassed his own!

Escape!

He must escape immediately!

Only this thought remained in Spirit Ant's mind!

He no longer hesitated, and his figure, which had been filled with horror, flickered again!

Buzz—!

As ripples spread from where he stood, Spirit Ant vanished into thin air!

Leaving no trace of his form or any mark.

Silently!

As if he had never appeared!

However... looking at the empty night sky.

Ye Feiyan's clear and beautiful face revealed a cold... disdain.

"Your methods are decent, but they're a joke in front of me."

As the words fell.

Her figure, in white robes purer than snow, also swayed gently.

The next second!

She appeared directly dozens of feet away.

Ye Feiyan, with a mocking curve on her face, reached her left hand straight into the darkness towards the seemingly empty night.

"You!!!"

The next moment!

Spirit Ant's figure, which had been completely concealed in the Void Realm, unexpectedly reappeared without warning!

His face was filled with shock and disbelief.

Because Ye Feiyan's seemingly delicate Jade hand was firmly gripping his shoulder!

Not only that, he could clearly feel the power that rendered him unable to move.

"No... impossible..."

Spirit Ant's expression was blank.

He looked at the Jade hand gripping his shoulder, then at Ye Feiyan's beautiful face, so close, filled with endless coldness and mockery... Shock, like a tide, crashed against his mind, wave after wave.

He truly couldn't understand why his unfailing Innate Divine Ability, which allowed him to perfectly merge into the Void Realm... why, in front of this person, it was utterly useless?!

"Since you're here, why not make yourself at home?"

Ye Feiyan looked at him with a cold sneer. She had killed at least eighty thousand, if not a hundred thousand, of these mere Spirit Ants.

Looking at her mocking eyes, Spirit Ant's face changed dramatically.

Coming to his senses, he frantically activated his Innate Divine Ability again!

Escape, he absolutely had to escape!

This woman was too extraordinary; not only was her strength immense, but she also seemed to know a great deal about the Yin Spirit Clan.

This matter must be reported, otherwise, it would surely be a disaster for the Yin Spirit Clan.

However... just as he was about to disappear into the Void Realm again!

Ye Feiyan's Jade hand, which was gripping his shoulder, suddenly moved!

Fast!

Extremely fast!

So fast that even with his battle-hardened reflexes, he simply couldn't make any effective dodge!

Ye Feiyan's crystal-clear index finger had already landed gently on his... left arm joint, as if teleporting.

A voice, filled with endless coldness and chilling killing intent, slowly sounded.

"Try moving?"

"You! How is this possible!?"

Instantly!

Spirit Ant's figure, which had been filled with struggle and madness, was struck as if by a thunderbolt from the Nine Heavens!

He stood dumbfounded on the spot!

Staring at the slender Jade finger resting on his left arm joint... his face was filled with nothing but endless... absurdity!

And disbelief!

This woman... how... how could she?!

She... she actually discovered his most secretly hidden... Soul Core's location?!
