The white-haired old man was known as the Jianghu Know-It-All and knew many important secrets that most people did not.
Moreover, he was somewhat famous in the Origin World. Many large factions would seek him out for information. Fang Chen had also heard of this news, which was why he had asked the waiter to find him.
As expected, he had obtained a lot of information regarding the Great Snow Mountain.
It was true that the scholar had saved Guan Tianhou because the two of them were best friends. The scholar had no choice but to take out the kill token that the Great Snow Mountain had given to the faction behind him in exchange for Guan Tianhou.
However, outsiders had never seen the kill token before, so it was impossible for them to recognize it.
This meant that even Fang Chen might not recognize the kill token. Why did the scholar think that the Great Snow Mountain's kill token could save Guan Tianhou's life?
If Fang Chen had not sensed the familiar aura of the Chaotic Realm from the kill token, how could he have let Guan Tianhou go?
After hearing the white-haired old man's words, Fang Chen sank into deep thought. What was going on? Why was the scholar so certain that he would accept the kill token?
The kill token meant death for ordinary people.
No one was willing to see the Kill Warrant, and it was even more impossible for someone to take it into their arms.
"This matter …" The white-haired old man hesitated for a moment and raised his head to glance at Fang Chen. The latter took out another Origin Pill from his bosom. After the old man took it, he said, "From what I know, although the kill token is a token used by the Great Snow Mountain to kill enemies, more importantly, it contains a unique aura."
"I was fortunate enough to see a kill token that was exactly the same as the one you have. After studying it carefully, I discovered that the unique aura within the kill token can cause the power in a cultivator's body to vibrate and resonate, allowing the cultivator's strength to increase by leaps and bounds," the white-haired old man said.
"Oh?"
Fang Chen was stunned. Could the unique aura that the white-haired old man was talking about be the aura of the Chaotic Realm?
Then why was the Great Snow Mountain able to create such a unique kill token?
Who was controlling the Great Snow Mountain behind the scenes?
Could it be related to the experts of the Chaos Realm?
"So, you're saying that even if I didn't recognize the Killing Token and sensed the unique aura within it, I would still accept it as a treasure?" Fang Chen asked.
The white-haired old man nodded. He had no reason to refuse. Although the Kill Order represented death, it also represented opportunity.
It was said that as long as one could fully comprehend the special aura contained within the kill order and refine it, the Great Snow Mountain would cancel their pursuit.
On the other hand, this was also a way for the Great Snow Mountain to test the world.
"Has anyone managed to refine the aura within all these years?" Fang Chen asked. This was what he was most concerned about.
After all, the person who could refine the aura of the Chaotic Realm in the kill order was definitely someone from the Chaotic Realm.
"There was one person who succeeded. He managed to refine the killing order. Not long after, the Great Snow Mountain announced that they had stopped hunting him down. However, everyone discovered that after that, that person had completely disappeared. It was as if he had evaporated into thin air." The white-haired elder muttered.
This was why everyone's expression changed when they heard about the Killing Token.
"Was he killed by the Great Snow Mountain?" Fang Chen frowned.
The Great Snow Mountain's method always gave him the illusion that they were deliberately looking for people from the Chaotic Realm.
He now had two guesses.
First, the Great Snow Mountain was controlled by experts from the Chaotic Realm. They deliberately used the Killing Token as bait to find lost experts from the Chaotic Realm.
Second, the Great Snow Mountain was controlled by experts from the Devouring Demon Clan. They used the Killing Token as bait to kill enemies from the Chaotic Realm who had sneaked into the Origin World.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen took a deep breath. His expression became solemn.
Things were becoming more and more confusing. Even he could not determine the Great Snow Mountain's role in this matter.
"I've said all that needs to be said. Brother, let me give you a piece of advice. Throw away the Killing Token and go as far as you can." The white-haired elder advised.
Fang Chen nodded.
"Alright, you can go back first."
After the white-haired elder left, Fang Chen's eyes shone with a complicated light. He got up and left the restaurant.
Not long after, Fang Chen appeared in a mountain range.
This mountain range was crisscrossed with towering trees. From time to time, the roars of beasts could be heard in the lush mountain range.
He headed north.
This was already the ninth day since Fang Chen left the city. Once he crossed this mountain range, he would be able to enter the territory of the scholar's faction.
Rip!
While Fang Chen was sitting on a rock to rest, a tearing sound suddenly came from the void. His expression instantly became solemn as he looked around vigilantly.
It was also at this moment that an eight-clawed centipede suddenly appeared out of thin air. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at him.
Boom!
Fang Chen did not say anything and directly used the Ultimate Sword Technique.
Swoosh!
The terrifying sword light crisscrossed and tore apart the Eight-clawed Centipede. The Eight-clawed Centipede's head fell to the ground. Its gong-sized eyes stared at Fang Chen as it lost its life.
"There's something strange about this mountain range." Fang Chen realized that this mountain range was not what it looked like on the surface. There was something strange about it.
This eight-clawed centipede was obviously very strong, but it could not withstand his sword. It did not make sense.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen spread out his Divine Sense and probed the surrounding situation clearly. Other than this eight-clawed centipede, there was no other demonic beast.
This made him even more puzzled.
"Let's go."
The air was filled with the smell of blood. Fang Chen quickened his pace and rushed into the depths of the mountain range.
Not long after he left, two figures appeared near the eight-clawed centipede's corpse. Their bodies were covered with a monstrous demonic aura. If Fang Chen was here, he would definitely recognize them as the Demon Devouring Clan.
"Humph, what an idiot."
"Another one has come to die." The two looked at each other, their eyes full of murderous intent.
"Even a Ninth Level Saint Realm martial artist would lose his combat effectiveness after being contaminated by the eight-clawed centipede's poison." The man in black sneered.
"Does this guy really think he's strong enough to kill the eight-clawed centipede with one sword?" The other person said.
It turned out that the eight-clawed centipede was secretly controlled by the two of them.
In fact, the eight-clawed centipede's combat effectiveness was very strong, but the two of them deliberately suppressed the eight-clawed centipede's power and let Fang Chen kill it with one sword.
He did not realize that the eight-clawed centipede's blood had seeped through the sword and stained his palm.
"Let's go. The poison is about to take effect."
"Be careful later. Although he is not strong, his sword technique is very strange."
Although the man in black was conceited, he was very vigilant. He had studied swordsmanship quite a bit. The sword that Fang Chen had just swung was very amazing.
After that, the two of them quickly moved in the direction that Fang Chen had left.
The two of them could not wait to kill Fang Chen, their prey.
