98: Who exactly are you?

The night was dead silent.

Spirit Ant felt all the blood in his body instantly solidify!

He could even clearly hear the frantic pounding of his own heart!

"Who... who exactly... are you?!"

He stared intently at Ye Feiyan, his voice becoming incredibly sharp and hoarse due to extreme fear!

He couldn't understand!

He couldn't understand it even in his dreams!

This woman before him could not only see through the true nature of his Beast Spirit with a single glance!

But also... even pinpoint the location of his most secretly hidden... Soul Core?!

This... this was practically a bane born to specifically counter their Yin Spirit Clan!

However, Ye Feiyan had no intention of answering his question.

Her clear and cold phoenix eyes merely looked down at him indifferently, as if staring at a dead man.

"I ask, you answer."

"How many of the Yin Spirit Clan have appeared in this world this time?"

"Which races are they, respectively?"

Boom!!!

These words, like bolts of Chaos Divine Thunder, once again fiercely struck the Spirit Ant's crown!

His face, which had been filled with horror, was instantly replaced by a deep, ashen pallor.

This person actually knew such a secret, that the Yin Spirit Clan comprised many different races, so clearly?!

This woman... what exactly is her background?!

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time,

A smile, filled with endless coldness and cruelty, slowly appeared on Ye Feiyan's clear and beautiful face.

"It seems you are not very cooperative."

"Never mind."

"I have heard an interesting rumor about your Yin Spirit Clan."

"The Soul Core is your only weakness."

"If the Soul Core is destroyed, the Yin Spirit dies."

"But..."

Her tone shifted, and her voice, filled with chilling killing intent, slowly sounded.

"What if, instead of instantly destroying it with brute force,"

"One were to slowly cut it, piece by piece, with the purest magical power, like the sharpest blade..."

"It is said that such pain, for your Yin Spirit Clan, is akin to the most cruel 'death by a thousand cuts' torture in the Mortal world!"

"What do you say..."

"Shall we try?"

Buzz—!

The moment her words fell!

A terrifying surge of pure magical power, infused with the aura of the Law of Annihilation, suddenly erupted from Ye Feiyan's slender finger, which was pressed against his left arm joint!

That power instantly touched his most secretly hidden... Soul Core!

"Ah—!!!"

A terrifying, excruciating pain, enough to completely tear his Soul apart, suddenly swept through his entire body!

Spirit Ant instantly lost his wits!

"No! Don't!"

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

He was utterly terrified!

He had no doubt!

If he dared to hesitate even for a moment, this demonic woman before him would absolutely make good on her word!

"Myriad Spirits Sect!"

He answered, trembling, in a voice that was almost a roar.

"The Myriad Spirits Sect, which is allied with the Blood Fiend Sect, is the force created by our Yin Spirit Clan!"

"As for how many races have currently descended upon this world..."

"I... I really don't know!"

"I am merely a minor character responsible for assassination missions!"

Having obtained the answer she wanted, Ye Feiyan didn't bother to waste another word on him.

"Very good."

She slowly uttered two words.

Immediately, the magical power at her fingertip erupted!

"Bang!"

A soft sound, like a watermelon exploding!

The Soul Core, which Spirit Ant regarded as his life, was instantly detonated by Ye Feiyan's finger!

"Ugh..."

Spirit Ant's figure, which had been filled with endless fear, suddenly stiffened!

His eyes, which had been filled with horror, were replaced by a dead gray.

His life force was cut off!

His corpse, like soft mud that had lost all its bones, slumped powerlessly to the ground.

At the same time.

His pitch-black disguise, which had blended with the night, dissipated inch by inch, revealing his true form.

It was an extremely bizarre... ant-shaped human body!

It was entirely translucent and ethereal, like a jellyfish in the deep sea, filled with an aura that did not belong to this world!

Ye Feiyan expressionlessly swung out a Sword Qi, severing his head.

This was her trophy, to be handed over to the Sect in exchange for contribution value.

As for the corpse, which was filled with pure Soul Power... she unceremoniously put it into her storage ring.

This was excellent "nourishment" and couldn't be wasted... After doing all this, Ye Feiyan turned and left as if she had done a trivial matter.

Soon after, she returned to her courtyard.

"Resolved?"

Xuan Mo's lazy thought slowly arrived.

"Mm."

Ye Feiyan nodded lightly, habitually sharing all the information she had just extracted with Xuan Mo.

However, Xuan Mo listened, but was not interested.

In his eyes, both the Yin Spirit Clan and the Myriad Spirits Sect were nothing more than a bunch of weaklings.

Compared to these, he was more concerned about another matter now.

"Girl," his majestic dragon pupils looked at Ye Feiyan, his tone filled with curiosity: "Do you have to use that 'infant transformation pill' as an aid to Break through?"

"Can't you just force your way through like me?"

Hearing this question, filled with a "humblebrag" tone, Ye Feiyan immediately rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

Then, she patiently explained.

"Do you think everyone is a freak like you, possessing the Primordial Black Dragon Bloodline?"

"Our Human Race Cultivators are different from your Yao Beasts."

"Especially the step from Golden Core to Nascent Soul Realm!"

"This is a huge leap in life level! And the emergence of a second life."

"The reason for using the 'infant transformation pill' as an aid is because this pill has a Heaven-Defying effect!"

"That is..."

At this point, she paused slightly before continuing.

"It can help Cultivators capture that fleeting... Breakthrough opportunity in the ethereal!".

"Only by successfully capturing that wisp of 'opportunity' from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth can one Break through the Golden Core to form a Nascent Soul and ascend to the heavens in one step!"

"If one cannot capture it..."

She paused again, her tone becoming extremely solemn.

"Then the Cultivator's Realm will forever be trapped at Golden Core Peak!"

"Throughout their entire life, there will be no possibility of further advancement!"

After hearing this, Xuan Mo finally understood.

It turned out that Human Race Cultivators breaking through a Realm was so troublesome.

"Alright then."

He flicked his huge dragon tail and sighed humanly.

He was hoping Ye Feiyan would Break through to the Nascent Soul Realm soon.

That way, the experience points he could gain daily would reach over 340,000.

To Break through the Realm better and faster, it now seemed that this idea would fall through in the short term.
