Chapter 336: Chapter 336: A Tiger Enters the Flock of Sheep
After killing the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf, Lin Yun didn’t bother to replenish the Elemental Power from his recent breakthrough. Instead, he first refined the Essence Blood of these two Demon Beasts.
After two hours of refining, Lin Yun put away the Essence Blood of the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf and left with Little Ape.
After finding a secluded spot, Lin Yun fully replenished his Elemental Power, then consolidated his Cultivation at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Sea Realm. The whole process took him nearly two days.
He calculated that it had been half a month since he entered the Demon Beast Ridge. Slowly opening his eyes, Lin Yun smiled with satisfaction. ’What a huge haul. Not only did I break through to the Ninth Layer of the Qi Sea Realm, but with such pure Essence Blood, my Flawless Flesh Body can make significant progress.’
Ever since learning how pure the bloodlines of the Demon Beasts here were, Lin Yun had long forgotten that he was sent here as punishment. He now completely regarded the Demon Beast Ridge as a Treasure Vault.
’As long as I don’t enter the depths of the Demon Beast Ridge or run into any Tier Four Demon Beasts, there shouldn’t be much danger,’ he chuckled to himself. After breaking through to the Ninth Layer of the Qi Sea Realm, his combat power had improved yet again. Now, facing the Tier Three Demon Beasts of the Ridge, he and Little Ape could team up. As long as they prevented their targets from escaping, Lin Yun was absolutely certain he could kill them.
’Alright, I only have a year. I can’t waste it.’ With that, Lin Yun called over Little Ape and embarked on a sweeping hunt. Their targets, of course, were the Tier Three Demon Beasts in the outer region of the Demon Beast Ridge.
He didn’t dare enter the depths of the Demon Beast Ridge, as it was home to Tier Four Demon Beasts. He had no chance of victory against a Tier Four Demon Beast. Lin Yun would avoid even an ordinary one at all costs, let alone a Tier Four Demon Beast from the Demon Beast Ridge with such a pure bloodline.
Sticking to the outer edges of the Demon Beast Ridge, Lin Yun began his massive hunt. His hunting grounds weren’t limited to his current area; the entire periphery of the Demon Beast Ridge was now his domain.
The man and ape duo recklessly hunted the Tier Three Demon Beasts within the Ridge. In just half a month, Lin Yun and Little Ape had already slain over a dozen Tier Three Demon Beasts with pure bloodlines.
It was important to remember that even the Tier Three Demon Beasts of the Ridge had been carefully selected by the experts of the Flawless Palace. Each and every one possessed an incomparably pure bloodline.
If these Demon Beasts from the Ridge were released into the outside world, every single one would be considered a priceless treasure. After all, their bloodlines set them apart, making them vastly different from the Demon Beasts found elsewhere.
The man responsible for all this, Luo Feng, was completely unaware of what was happening in the Demon Beast Ridge. He wasn’t in the Flawless Palace at the moment; instead, he was in the closest major city, a place called Wind City.
In the entire Eastern Heart Domain, aside from the Five Great Forces, the most famous and prosperous places were the Five Great Cities. They were named after the five elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—and each city was located near one of the Five Great Forces.
For instance, Wind City was near the Flawless Palace, which was also responsible for its security. In return, the amount of resources Wind City provided to the Flawless Palace each year was astronomical.
In terms of area alone, Wind City was even larger than the entire Flawless Palace. Its permanent population exceeded a hundred million, and its level of prosperity was beyond imagination.
Currently, in the gardens of the Bai Family—Wind City’s foremost family—Luo Feng was sitting and chatting affectionately with a beautiful woman.
Every now and then, the woman would even peel a grape and personally feed it to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng’s luck with women was simply heaven-defying. He had female confidantes everywhere he went, and the most baffling part was that none of them were ordinary women.
Take, for instance, the beautiful woman currently smiling as she peeled grapes for him: she was none other than the Patriarch of Wind City’s foremost family, the Bai Family.
Just think about it: for a woman to become the Patriarch of Wind City’s most powerful family—and the only female Patriarch in the history of the Bai Family at that—could she possibly be an ordinary person?
The woman’s name was Bai Ling. The line of her admirers could stretch from the Bai Family estate all the way to the city gates of Wind City. Yet, for a woman as exceptional as her, no one knew how Luo Feng had managed to win her undying devotion.
To this day, Bai Ling remained unmarried, still waiting for Luo Feng.
As he enjoyed Bai Ling’s gentle care, Luo Feng gazed at the exquisite fishpond and rockery before him, muttering to himself, ’I wonder how that kid is doing. I hope he hasn’t died in the Demon Beast Ridge.’
Luo Feng was, of course, talking about Lin Yun. Though he had sent him there on a whim, if Lin Yun actually died in the Demon Beast Ridge, Luo Feng would be worried sick. To this day, Lin Yun was the person he had the highest hopes for.
Although the Flawless Palace had several other geniuses with the makings of a Demon Fiend, Luo Feng was still more optimistic about Lin Yun. Even though Lin Yun’s Cultivation was still very low, Luo Feng saw greater potential in his future growth and placed the highest hopes in him.
Noticing Luo Feng’s quiet muttering, Bai Ling asked with a charming smile, "Brother Feng, what’s on your mind?"
Hearing her, Luo Feng turned with a smile and gently pulled her delicate form into his embrace. "Nothing."
He didn’t tell Bai Ling, but inwardly, Luo Feng decided he would go check on the Demon Beast Ridge when he got back. ’It would be a tragedy if Lin Yun really died in there.’
Little did he know that the very person he was worried about, Lin Yun, was currently on a joyous killing spree in the Demon Beast Ridge. He was now feared by all the Tier Three Demon Beasts in the outer region.
By now, every Tier Three Demon Beast in the Demon Beast Ridge knew that two madmen had arrived: a human youth and a War Ape covered in blood-red fur.
These two were absolute lunatics, like a tiger let loose among sheep. They killed every Tier Three Demon Beast on sight. Once targeted by the pair, there was no hope of escape.
In just half a month, over a dozen Tier Three Demon Beasts had already fallen to them.
And these weren’t just any dozen-odd Tier Three Demon Beasts. There were not many Tier Three Demon Beasts in the Ridge to begin with, and each one had been hand-picked by the experts of the Flawless Palace.
For over a dozen Tier Three Demon Beasts to be killed in just half a month—this was something that had likely never happened before in the long history of the Flawless Palace.
After all, Demon Beasts with such pure bloodlines were a rare sight. Each one was a prize that people would fight tooth and nail for. The Flawless Palace itself had gone to great lengths to slowly accumulate its current collection.
In other words, every single Demon Beast in the Demon Beast Ridge was an asset to the Flawless Palace.
And now, within a mere half-month, over a dozen of these very assets had been killed by Lin Yun and Little Ape.
A night passed. After refining another drop of Demon Beast Essence Blood, Lin Yun had now refined over a dozen drops in total over the past half-month. The benefits to him were obvious: his physical body was now several times stronger than it had been just a month ago.
’Alright, time for another busy day.’ He stood up and stretched lazily. Lin Yun was quite fond of his current daily routine, as his strength was improving by leaps and bounds every day.
Taking Little Ape along, Lin Yun began searching the mountain forest again. However, the Tier Three Demon Beasts had learned their lesson. Now, the moment they sensed his or Little Ape’s aura—or even suspected it—they would turn and flee without a second thought.
It was no joke; this was a tiger among sheep.
