“Senior Brother, how is it?”
Seeing Ye Lin in thought, Li Xiaoyao asked.
As for Ye Lin's combat power, he was very confident; even he wasn't sure he could defeat Ye Lin.
“Alright.”
After a long silence, Ye Lin finally nodded.
His current impression of Li Xiaoyao was good, so he could give him a slight push.
If Li Xiaoyao truly failed the Outer Sect Trial, he would lose a significant Opportunity.
After all, Li Xiaoyao, this 'sheep,' was a considerable fortune to him.
If he failed the trial and was sent out of Nameless Mountain, he would indirectly lose a large sum of wealth.
“Good, in that case, Senior Brother, see you at the final moment.”
Seeing Ye Lin nod in agreement, Li Xiaoyao's face lit up with joy.
With Ye Lin's word, this Outer Sect Trial was secured.
By then, just the five of them working together to defeat Zhao Liu would be enough; as for the others, they posed no threat at all.
“Good, see you at the final moment.”
“Alright, Senior Brother, then I’ll take my leave now. Have a safe journey.”
“Have a safe journey.”
After speaking, Li Xiaoyao flew off into the distance, with Ye Lin following close behind.
“The first stage is Physical Body, the second is perseverance, so this third stage should be a test of combat power.”
Along the way, Ye Lin pondered in his mind.
In a moment, he arrived at a canyon, its interior teeming with Yao Beasts.
These Yao Beasts were all Golden Core Stage Great Yao.
To pass through this canyon, one had to walk from the midst of these Yao Beasts to the very end.
The Disciples who had already arrived were all looking at each other, as no one wanted to go first.
If someone went first, the other Disciples would follow behind that first person, and the first person would undoubtedly face the greatest pressure.
“gentlemen, waiting like this isn't a solution. How about this? The canyon is so big, how about we split up and go our separate ways?”
At this moment, a Disciple spoke up.
Since no one wanted to go first, it was better to split up and each go their own way.
While they were discussing, unbeknownst to anyone, one person had already disappeared from the crowd.
Ye Lin had already ventured forth alone.
“Brothers, they’re here! Whether we can regain our freedom depends on this moment. Don’t hold back, any of you. If anyone holds back, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“Of course, as long as we take down one, I can regain my freedom.”
At this moment, inside the canyon, a large group of Yao Beasts had gathered, all discussing amongst themselves.
They were originally Great Yao who had committed all sorts of evil deeds in the outside world, having devoured countless humans.
They were eventually captured by Nameless Mountain Disciples and brought here to test new Disciples.
As long as they could defeat or kill a new Disciple, they could regain their freedom.
That’s right, it was killing. In this stage, a slight misstep could lead to death and the dissipation of one’s Dao.
A Cultivator who had not experienced the crisis of death was not a qualified Cultivator.
On the other side, Ye Lin looked at the Yao Beast corpse before him and said softly.
“Third one.”
While the two sides were discussing, he had already entered the canyon, and the Yao Beast corpse before him was already the third one he had killed.
In the eyes of others, this was a life-and-death trial; in his eyes, it was a Treasure Trove.
Yao Cores, Yao Beast corpses—these were all wealth.
And in this canyon, the highest cultivation level of Yao Beast was Core Formation Stage Middle Stage. After all, this was a trial, not a suicide mission; Nameless Mountain would not place higher Rank Yao Beasts here.
A Core Formation Stage Middle Stage Yao Beast was easily killed by him.
“Continue.”
After speaking, Ye Lin put away the Yao Beast corpse and walked towards the next location.
Along the way, Ye Lin encountered no less than ten Yao Beasts, but in the end, they were all slain by his sword.
“What is this?”
Looking at the small cave before him, Ye Lin was full of doubt.
“Let’s go in and see.”
After a moment of silence, Ye Lin decided to go in and take a look.
If there was an irresistible danger, with his current cultivation, as long as it wasn't a Nascent Soul Stage Great Yao, he could retreat safely.
Entering the cave, mysterious images appeared on the surrounding stone walls.
The further he walked, the more images appeared, as if hinting at something.
“What exactly is this?”
Along the way, Ye Lin looked at these images, growing more and more confused as he walked.
Upon reaching the end of the cave, the space before him suddenly became incredibly vast.
And all around, pythons over ten meters long emitted the aura of the Golden Core Stage Early Stage.
They were densely packed, appearing extremely eerie.
Perceiving someone's arrival, these entirely black pythons slowly turned their heads, their black-purple pupils staring at Ye Lin.
At the very top, a python emitting a Core Formation Stage Middle Stage aura, with a bulging lump on its head, stared intently at Ye Lin.
However, the decaying aura emanating from its body indicated that its Lifespan was already short.
“Human, retreat quickly. This is not a place you should be.”
At this moment, sensing that Ye Lin was not to be provoked, a python below slowly spoke.
The unique Core Formation Stage Middle Stage aura on Ye Lin's body made them abandon the idea of fighting him.
“Wait, human, are you a Disciple participating in this Outer Sect Trial?”
Suddenly, the python at the top spoke.
The surrounding pythons all lowered their heads, no longer speaking.
“Precisely.”
“Good, human, you can call me Black Evil. How about we make a deal?”
Hearing the answer he sought, Black Evil spoke.
“Oh? A deal? Speak.”
Hearing Black Evil's words, Ye Lin immediately became interested. Making a deal with a Yao Beast, he found it very intriguing.
“You protect its life. As long as there’s an Opportunity, send it to the Ten Thousand Demons Hall. At that time, someone will give you a large amount of resources.”
“And I can also give you a large amount of resources now, as a deposit, how about it?”
After Black Evil finished speaking, the surrounding pythons began to move. One by one, extremely precious treasures were sent before him by these pythons.
At this moment, a small white snake, dozens of centimeters long, appeared on Black Evil's head. It was entirely white, with a pair of extremely lively eyes, looking incredibly cute.
“What is its identity?”
Seeing these precious resources, Ye Lin made no move.
To be able to spend such a huge price just to send this Yao Beast to the Ten Thousand Demons Hall meant that this Yao Beast's identity was not simple.
“It is the direct descendant of our Ten Thousand Demons Hall Grand Elder. As long as you send it to the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, you will receive treasures you have never seen in your life.”
“How about it?”
After Black Evil finished speaking, Ye Lin's heart trembled.
Ten Thousand Demons Hall Grand Elder?
He had learned about the Ten Thousand Demons Hall; it was a Yao Race force that completely surpassed Nameless Mountain.
A vast force occupying thirteen prefectures of the East Continent.
The Ten Thousand Demons Hall Grand Elder was a peerless Yao Venerable of the He Dao Realm.
Thinking of this, Ye Lin felt a little eager to try.
The reward given by a He Dao Realm peerless Yao Venerable made one's heart pound just thinking about it.
“Human, how about it?”
Seeing Ye Lin remain silent, Black Evil urged again.
“Alright, I agree.”
After a moment of silence, Ye Lin spoke.
The reward of a He Dao Realm peerless Yao Venerable, to be honest, he was indeed tempted.
“Good, take those resources.”
Seeing Ye Lin agree, Black Evil spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Lin nodded and, with a wave of his hand, collected all the resources before him into his space ring.
“Young Miss, go. Follow this human. I can no longer play with you. From now on, you need to walk alone.”
At this moment, Black Evil slowly lowered its head, placing the small white snake before it, its huge eyes full of tenderness as it spoke.
