Chapter 666: Feigning Ignorance

The soul of a Venerable Rank, Ye Liuyun also worried. If the Ten Thousand Gods Command doesn't work, then he's doomed!

Fortunately the Ten Thousand Gods Command still protected it as always, directly covering that soul with golden light, then slowly absorbing it to replenish Ye Liuyun's soul.

"Haha! Indeed, one seeks wealth in danger!" Ye Liuyun didn't expect that he not only obtained blood, but also absorbed the soul of a Venerable Rank expert.

After feeling its soul devoured, the powerful Food Star Beast outside immediately fled far away, too scared to approach again.

Other Food Star Beasts also kept their distance, as if this Food Star Beast had contracted some terrifying contagious disease.

"Woo! Woo!"

The Food Star Beast wailed a few times, then slowly rose, left the herd, and walked off into the distance.

Other Food Star Beasts also "woo-woo" called, as if seeing it off.

It would look back every few steps, obviously reluctant to leave!

Ye Liuyun silently thought: "I'm really sorry, I had no choice but to sacrifice you! Martial cultivation is this cruel, you know that too, hope you can understand!"

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also released Lei Ming and Long Nv.

"It has left the herd. You can now go collect meat in bulk, store it as future rations. First don't dig out its core, wait until it's completely far away before talking!"

Lei Ming and Long Nv nodded, then scattered to dig for meat.

This Food Star Beast, worthy of being a Venerable Rank expert, vanished in just a few breaths.

It lowered its head, said nothing, just silently ran.

"I can't let it keep running like this, or I won't be able to get back."

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun sped up collecting blood, soon filling his container with nearly half of the Food Star Beast's blood.

"Lei Ming, help!"

Seeing the Food Star Beast still running, Ye Liuyun immediately called Lei Ming back.

"What's wrong?" Lei Ming quickly ran back. She and Long Nv hadn't gone far.

"Freeze its blood, don't let this guy keep running. Otherwise we'll have trouble coming back." Ye Liuyun shouted urgently at Lei Ming.

The Food Star Beast ran too fast; this moment's attack would be enough for it to run a while!

"Okay!" Lei Ming agreed and immediately began freezing its blood.

They froze it from inside the heart outward; the effect was very fast. Soon the Food Star Beast's blood stopped circulating. It gradually slowed, its flight altitude began to drop, and it fell toward the bottom of the Fog Sea.

"Collect!" Ye Liuyun directly stored the blood frozen by Lei Ming into his Storage Ring.

That blood, like a small mountain, was dumped into the Dragon Palace.

Ye Liuyun looked at this large iceberg of frozen blood and felt quite satisfied.

"This storage method isn't bad either. When needed, we'll thaw these blood."

Then he also summoned Long Nv, and together they dug toward the core's location. While digging, they also stored the Food Star Beast's meat as food reserves.

The Food Star Beast could no longer move, staggering as it walked.

Needless to say, this guy was also stubborn; after leaving the herd, it never stopped. Even though its blood was now dry, it still relied on True Essence to support itself, pressing forward.

On the way, it encountered other herds of Food Star Beasts.

At first those herds sounded warnings to keep it away, but after seeing its condition, they actively gave way and even let out woeful woos.

Ye Liuyun vigilantly watched that herd of Food Star Beasts until it passed, then realized other herds also sensed it was about to die, so they wailed to see it off.

This Food Star Beast never made a sound again, not even lifting its head, just stubbornly walking on.

Ye Liuyun couldn't bear to watch it suffer any longer, so he sped up and dug toward its core's location.

"Wow! First time seeing such a huge core!" Lei Ming and Long Nv, upon seeing the Food Star Beast's core, were shocked by its size.

The Food Star Beast's core was like a planet, situated right in the middle of its Qi Sea.

Although not as big as the heart, it was still as large as several Grand Halls!

"Dig it out!"

Ye Liuyun, Lei Ming, and the others immediately got to work, digging around the core.

When Ye Liuyun stored the core into his Storage Ring, the Food Star Beast could no longer move at all, collapsing straight to the ground.

Its massive body, lacking True Essence support, couldn't even stand.

Now it could only barely breathe.

Ye Liuyun then brought Lei Ming and Long Nv back to dig at its windpipe. Until Ye Liuyun, with one stroke of Yi Dao, cut its main airway, its breathing gradually stopped.

"Hurry up and leave, lest things change!"

Ye Liuyun didn't linger, continuing to dig upward.

They now needed to dig straight to the Food Star Beast's exterior.

No one had time to store extra meat; they immediately resumed digging.

Soon they emerged from beneath the Food Star Beast's ribs.

When cutting the Food Star Beast's fur, the Demon Slaying Sword's speed was crucial; otherwise Lei Ming and Long Nv's claws and bites couldn't pierce its skin.

"You two bear with it; I'll use Golden Crow Holy Fire to burn off our scent and traces!" Ye Liuyun told the two.

They nodded, and Ye Liuyun ignited the fire, burning off everyone's scent completely clean.

Lei Ming and Long Nv endured some skin injuries, not daring to be careless. They could only use True Essence to recover their physical bodies.

Once they were done, they moved far away from the Food Star Beast's corpse.

"Young sir, please stay!"

Several middle-aged men blocked Ye Liuyun and his companions.

"What business do you have?"

Ye Liuyun deliberately asked.

In fact, he hadn't even exited the Food Star Beast's body when he already noticed these people.

They definitely also had the idea of going after the Food Star Beast.

"How did you guys kill this Food Star Beast?"

"I'm not entirely sure either. I only know we were cultivating inside an ice coffin, and our Divine Sense was blocked! When we woke up, we discovered we were already inside this big guy's body. So we just dug it out directly!"

Ye Liuyun paused, then looked at the several middle-aged men opposite, and then asked: "Is this big guy called a Food Star Beast? Where is this place? Is this the territory of our Three Origin Sect?"

Ye Liuyun pretended to be stupid and said.

"Are you a disciple of the Three Origin Sect?" Several men looked at each other, obviously communicating via Divine Sense.

"You don't know this is a Food Star Beast? You don't know its use?" One of the men asked.
