With Ye Sheng’s demonstration and Ye Lingyue’s quick actions, adrenaline instantly filled the remaining three Ye family members. They attacked quickly and ruthlessly and killed the remaining three black panthers within a few moments.

 They killed five wild black panthers equivalent to five intermediate wild beasts the moment they entered the mountain. This was an excellent start for them.

 “Good. Everyone did well, especially Lingyue. You’re even more used to attacking them than me.” Ye Sheng had also noted that Ye Lingyue didn’t flinch from fear and seemed like it wasn’t her first time hunting in the mountain.

 “I stayed in the mountain for a month earlier. During that time, I’d bumped into wild black panthers several times.” Ye Lingyue’s expression was indifferent, and her words made the remaining members shocked.

 She was only thirteen years old, yet she had stayed in the barren Seven Stars Mountain for a month. Such courage was incomparable to any other normal people. It was no wonder her ability improved so quickly and Song Han had no chance of retaliating her attack earlier.

 Ye Ning and the rest showed their admiration for the girl while Ye Qing gritted his teeth hard, keeping quiet.

 1As she spoke, Ye Lingyue’s eyebrow twitched. She lifted her right hand and grabbed the female panther’s body in a weird manner.

 Woosh!

 A hundred steps away, the sound of an arrow breaking through the skies rang. Several feathered iron arrows instantly burrowed into the panther’s body.

 Almost at the same time, Song Han appeared with the snow mastiff.

 The sudden flying arrows instantly alarmed the Ye family members.

 “Song Han, what is this?!” Ye Sheng suddenly felt fear overwhelm him. If Ye Lingyue wasn’t quick to react, she would have been a corpse now.

 “What is this? You stole my prey, yet you’re questioning me? Look at that black panther, isn’t there an arrow wound on it?” Because Ye Lingyue injured Song Han earlier, he had been hating on her. He intentionally broke off from his team and took the chance to find her and attack her. He shot several arrows out, thinking that it would hit Ye Lingyue and kill her. Who knew she managed to avoid it?

 These arrows he used were not ordinary arrows, and Master Lian made them. He was the alchemist apprentice that his father hired using a hefty amount of money.

 Not only were they especially accurate, but they are extremely powerful as well. They were the arrows that Song Guangyi specifically prepared to kill advanced wild beasts.

 Ye Sheng and the rest inspected the panthers and finally saw a minor wound at the stomach of the black panther that jumped out first. If they didn’t inspect it, no one would be able to tell at all.

 The mountain hunt had rules that whoever attacked first would own the prey.

 “Even so, you cannot shoot people anyhow.” Ye Ning and the rest were angry.

 “I’m sorry. I thought that it was an animal there.” Song Han laughed coldly.

 “If that’s the case, that black panther is yours. However, we were the ones who killed the remaining black panthers, thus they should belong to the Ye family.” Ye Lingyue wasn’t angry either. Instead, she walked towards that snow mastiff in a friendly manner and caressed it.

 When no one paid attention to her, Ye Lingyue’s finger lightly slid over a certain temple under the snow mastiff’s nose. Song Han didn’t notice it at all.

 “I’m glad you’re tactful.” Song Han didn’t expect for Ye Lingyue to give in so easily either. He carried that black panther and happily left.

 “Lingyue, wouldn’t it be too easy to let him go like that?” Ye Ning and the rest couldn’t let their anger go.

 “Easy?” The corners of Ye Lingyue’s lips twitched as a smile appeared on her face. “We don’t know who has benefited yet. Big Cousin, please take the arrows out.”

 After the arrows were taken out, Ye Sheng took a careful look at it. His expression changed immediately.

 “Why would the Song family have this? This is 50% pure dark iron ore.” Ye Sheng finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

 Ye Fengyu had just extracted 50% dark iron. No one expected the Song family to have 50% dark iron ores as well. If this were true, it would be a significant blow to the Ye family.

 1“Let’s keep the arrows first. We might need to use it at the top of the mountain.” Ye Lingyue patted her cousin’s shoulder, thinking about how worried her cousin would be if he knew that the Song family knew how to extract and make a 60% dark iron dagger.

 They exchanged several 50% dark iron arrows with a black panther. That Song Han must be a great idiot.

 At the top of the mountain, Song Han sneezed loudly beside several tents.

 “You used three dark iron arrows for a black panther?! Why do I have such a stupid brother like you?!” Song Guangyi looked angry and disappointed at his brother.

 Not only so, after it had returned to Song Guangyi, the snow mastiff had also lost its energy somehow. It was no longer as energetic as before, making Song Guangyi even more annoyed.

 “Song Eldest Young Master, why are you so angry? They are only a few nothings from the Ye family.” Master Lian walked out of the tent. When they saw Master Lian, the two Song young masters hurriedly welcomed him.

 “Master Lian, you don’t know that there’s a fierce woman that’s really hard to deal with in the Ye family. That woman also blocked the arrows you made for us.” Song Han described everything that had happened earlier.

 “Oh? That person is rather capable, to be able to block my arrows.” Master Lian caressed his chin as unhappiness filled his eyes.

 “Yes. That woman did not take the Song Family seriously, and in a way, she isn’t respecting the Master properly. How about the Master takes the initiative and—” Song Han drew a thumb across his neck.

 “You idiot! I’m a well-respected person, yet you’re asking me to go kill a girl?” Master Lian angrily shouted. Though he wasn’t a righteous person, he was just too arrogant to do it.

 Besides, it was Town Leader Liu who hosted the mountain hunt this time. That person was a connate master and was in contact with those few old men in the county city’s Alchemist Association. If he found out about it, the consequence would be unimaginable.

 “Master Lian, my brother didn’t mean that. Why do we have to do the dirty work ourselves? What I meant was that the Master doesn’t have to do it personally. As we speak, the Ye Family is heading towards the top of the mountain. Master Lian, you just have to use some simple methods and get those sticky wild beasts to attack them.” Since Song Guangyi was far more intelligent than Song Han, he saw through Master Lian’s hesitation and hurriedly added his insights.

 “This method seems plausible. Let me think about it.” Hearing this, Master Lian agreed, but he was still rather reluctant.

 “We’ll thank Master Lian, then. Once the Song family wins the competition and keeps our stakes on the mining mountain, we will definitely give 30% of the mine’s profit to Master.” Song Guangyi’s full promises made Master Lian happy.

 However, he didn’t think that someone from the Alchemist Association entered the Seven Stars Mountain as well.

 At some spot at the top of the mountain, a strong mountain breeze rapidly crashed against the cliff.

 A man in a black robe stood by a cliff. He recalled his consciousness and opened his eyes to see the depthless cliff before him, and as he did so , his cold and sharp orbs exuded seriousness.
