Chapter 64: Important Information

Ye Liuyun used Spiritual Sense Lock on that True Origin Triple Barbarian Bear and shot an arrow.

Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng also rushed to kill the other two ferocious beasts.

"Roar!" That True Origin Triple Barbarian Bear was actually very cautious. Once locked by Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense, it got an ominous premonition and immediately let out a warning.

But it still didn't dodge Ye Liuyun's arrow, was hit in the left shoulder, and let out a wail.

Following that, Ye Liuyun's second and third arrows came in succession. Even though it dodged, it kept being hit, and finally died from poison.

Yet its few howls alarmed the other ferocious beasts.

The other two True Origin Double Barbarian Bears were warned, but Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng's sudden charge was too abrupt; one was cut down by Yu Wenlong's sword, and the other was wounded by Lin Feng, then jointly slain by Yu Wenlong.

The beasts in the nest roared and surged out of the Cave.

Leading them was a True Yuan Fifth Tier saber‑toothed tiger, whose eyes showed terror.

However, when it confirmed that only three True Yuan First Tier youths had arrived, it relaxed. These youngsters were merely food for them.

It let out a howl to the sky, and immediately several ferocious beasts rushed toward Ye Liuyun and his group.

"Kill!"

Ye Liuyun let out a great shout and was the first to charge at that True Yuan Fifth Tier saber‑toothed tiger.

The lower‑level ferocious beasts were left for Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng.

Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng immediately drew their weapons and rushed forward to meet the charging beasts.

Black Python and Bald Vulture also suddenly appeared, pouncing on the True Origin Quadruple and True Origin Triple ferocious beasts. Their fights concluded the quickest, each killing with a single blow.

Bald Vulture's claw ripped the head of a True Origin Quadruple spotted leopard, the strike was ruthless, steady, and precise. Black Python did the same, biting a saber‑toothed tiger at the waist and swallowing it whole.

The True Yuan Fifth Tier saber‑toothed tiger lunged at Ye Liuyun; as its claw came down, it let out a roar.

Its roar was a sound‑wave attack, a type of Spiritual Soul Attack. It was expected that Ye Liuyun would be immobilized, and then it would bite off Ye Liuyun's head.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun showed no reaction; the Ten Thousand Gods Command protected his Sea of Consciousness from all intrusion. Moreover, at his level, even without the Ten Thousand Gods Command, a Spiritual Soul Attack would only slightly affect him, never allowing the saber‑toothed tiger to bite him.

Ye Liuyun punched the saber‑toothed tiger, his fist infused with thunder and lightning power; with a "Boom—crack!" rumble, the tiger was blasted away, rolled, and then shivered before standing up.

Ye Liuyun surged forward again, delivering another punch to the saber‑toothed tiger.

This time, the tiger opened its mouth, spewed a foul, fishy odor, and thrust its tusks at Ye Liuyun's fist.

Ye Liuyun instantly unleashed the blood‑vessel power throughout his body, his strength surged, and he struck.

"Clack!"—one of the tiger's tusks snapped cleanly. In pain the tiger let out a mournful "Aoo" cry.

Then Ye Liuyun's both hands kept striking around the tiger, delivering several blows that left it only able to exhale, not inhale.

Yet he did not stop; finally he reduced the tiger to the brink of death, then fixed his gaze on the tiger's eyes, searching its memory.

Seeing their high‑end combat power eliminated, the remaining ferocious beasts tried to flee, but Black Python and Bald Vulture drove them back, sandwiching them and annihilating them one by one.

After extracting the information, Ye Liuyun delivered a final punch that killed the saber‑toothed tiger, then dug out its beast core and collected the corpse.

Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng were also surrounded by several ferocious beasts and fought hard; Ye Liuyun glanced at the situation and did not aid them. This was their trial. He couldn't intervene every time.

In the end, they lived up to expectations, slaying all the beasts around them, then collapsed exhausted onto the ground to rest.

Ye Liuyun ordered the Bald Vulture to continue flying overhead to monitor, while the Black Python shrank and coiled on his arm.

He himself searched the beast nest thoroughly, found no other ferocious beasts nor any treasure, and then returned.

"Later we'll rest elsewhere; hurry and clean the battlefield so the beasts don't get reinforcements."

"Reinforcements?" Yu Wenlong shouted. Do beasts get reinforcements?

Ye Liuyun nodded; the beasts here were commanded by someone.

With that, he went about cleaning the battlefield. After extracting the beast core, any unnecessary beast corpses he had Black Python store, and any edible ones he packed himself.

Lei Ming also stayed busy, helping load the beast corpses into his Storage Ring.

Looking at the corpses strewn on the ground, Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng's gazes toward Ye Liuyun carried a hint of awe.

They knew it was all Ye Liuyun's merit. In fact, they hadn't contributed much; it was Ye Liuyun who had been looking after them.

After the three quickly cleaned the battlefield, they promptly withdrew.

The Golden Armor Guard lurking in the shadows was also shocked. This kid is truly divine! Not only could he pinpoint the bandits' location, but also corner a nest of ferocious beasts.

He himself, at True Essence First Level, killed a True Yuan Fifth Tier saber‑toothed tiger outright!

After Ye Liuyun led them far away, he finally stopped to let them rest.

Then he called to the Golden Armor Guard hidden in the shadows: "Golden Armor Guard sir, I have important information to report."

The Golden Armor Guard was stunned. "I'm truly at True Yuan Sixth Tier, how could this kid have discovered me?" He wasn't sure whether Ye Liuyun truly discovered him or just guessed, so he hadn't moved.

"Golden Armor Guard sir, I truly have important information to report."

This time, Ye Liuyun directly used Divine Sense to transmit a voice to the Golden Armor Guard, who reluctantly stepped out.

Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng initially couldn't figure out what Ye Liuyun was raving about. Until they saw the Golden Armor Guard emerge, they realized Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense was far stronger than theirs.

The Golden Armor Guard also said: "You are training; if you summon the Golden Armor Guard without cause, you will be punished."

"I know! But this information is extremely important; I must report it quickly, lest it delay matters," Ye Liuyun said.

The Golden Armor Guard also came forward, "Then speak, make it valuable, or you'll meet a bad end!"

Ye Liuyun said directly: "These ferocious beasts have taken up residence here because they were subjected to a blood‑curse technique by a soul master, forcing them to obey orders. Specifically, these beasts are being coerced."

Their highest‑level beasts reach True Origin Sevenfold. Therefore, the one coercing them must be far higher. According to the saber‑toothed tiger's estimate, the coercer's cultivation likely already exceeds the True Essence Realm.

They were forced here mainly to capture nearby villagers.

The coercer needs these villagers' blood to awaken a dead person buried underground. The beasts themselves don't know the exact method; it is probably some evil sect's technique or ritual.

The captured villagers have all been taken to a central area of Ten Thousand Burial Ridge, into a Cave. That Cave leads underground to a massive tomb.

That master is now inside that Cave. That True Origin Sevenfold beast has now gone to the central area and will return soon.

After saying this, Ye Liuyun paused, then added: "I fear the master will act, causing the entire preparatory camp to be wiped out. That's why I report to you, sir."

It turned out Ye Liuyun had just been searching the saber‑toothed tiger's Sea of Consciousness, probing its memory, confirming it matched the earlier Black Demon Wolf memories.

He is still rather cautious; otherwise he would have spoken out this information long ago.
