In fact.
As for Fang Chen's true future, the scholar had no idea at all. He only knew that when the Taixuan Hierophant had given him the killing order, he had warned him that the killing order was very important and should not be used carelessly.
Even though outsiders had heard of the Kill Order, they had never seen it before, so it was difficult for them to recognize it.
The Taixuan Hierophant had once said that, strictly speaking, the Killing Command was also a Saint-level weapon. Furthermore, it contained the power of the Five Great Origins. For cultivators of the Saint Plane, it was very attractive. When faced with a life-and-death crisis, they could take it out in exchange for a chance of survival. At the same time, it would immediately activate the mission of the Killing Command, allowing the emissaries of the Great Snow Mountain to rescue and kill the enemy.
Of course.
This was only the way to use the kill order that the Taixuan Hierophant had told the scholar.
However, the scholar used it in exchange for Hai Tianhou's life and succeeded.
However.
What truly attracted Fang Chen was not the Five Great Origins contained within the Kill Token, but the trace of Chaotic Realm aura contained within it, which was very difficult to detect. This was also the reason why Fang Chen had come all the way to the Great Snow Mountain territory to look for the scholar.
The two of them had completely different thoughts.
As for Fang Chen's question, perhaps only the experts of the Great Snow Mountain who made the kill order would know.
"I am the first disciple of the Taixuan Hierophant, the scholar. Since you know my identity, you should obediently hand over the kill order to me. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."
After a short moment of shock, the scholar regained his composure. His dark eyes stared viciously at Fang Chen, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.
He had already secretly taken out his communication jade pendant and was ready to inform Hai Tianhou to bring his companions to encircle Fang Chen.
Puchi!
Fang Chen flicked his finger, and a sharp beam of light shot out. The scholar let out a miserable shriek, and a clattering sound could be heard as his jade pendant fell to the ground. One of his hands had been chopped off, and blood sprayed onto the ground as he twitched in pain.
"You're courting death."
In a moment of desperation, the scholar bellowed and launched an attack.
However, Fang Chen didn't give him any chance. He directly suppressed him with an unstoppable force and chopped off his other hand. Having lost both his hands, the scholar's fighting strength was greatly reduced. His face was pale and he was extremely weak. His heart was filled with fear. Looking at Fang Chen, he felt that he wouldn't be able to walk out of the study alive.
He wanted to shout, but it was of no use. Fang Chen had already sealed the study. With the strength of Gong Tianhou and the others, it was impossible for them to detect anything.
In other words, no one would come to save the scholar.
"What do you want?"
At this moment, the scholar's heart was filled with fear. At the same time, he was also hoping that the emissary of the Great Snow Mountain would hurry over. That way, he would still have a chance to live. As for the revocation of the kill order, he did not even dare to think about it.
Between his life and the Kill Order, of course he would choose his life.
If he died, everything would be for naught. Only by staying alive would he have the chance to step onto the peak of martial arts.
"Answer my question," Fang Chen said coldly as he took out the kill order from his bosom.
He wanted to know who had created the kill order and what was the purpose of creating it.
Why did it contain the aura of the Chaotic Realm?
What role did the Great Snow Mountain play in all of this?
All of these mysteries needed to be solved. This was very important to Fang Chen.
"I've already made it very clear."
The scholar was somewhat speechless. Everyone knew the use of the kill order. He had already explained it very clearly, but he did not understand why the enemy was so aggressive towards him. "What do you want?"
Fang Chen frowned. Clearly, the scholar's answer did not satisfy him.
This was because what attracted him was not the Five Great Origin Forces at all.
Looking at the scholar's pained expression, it did not seem like he was lying. Then, the scholar probably could not answer his question. Even the Taixuan Hierophant could not answer it. Could it be that he had to look for the top cultivators of the Great Snow Mountain?
"Since you've already given out the kill order, why did you take it back just now?"
Fang Chen shook his head. He knew that the scholar could not answer this question, so he did not pester him any further and moved on to the next question.
Under the torture and Fang Chen's threat, the scholar spilled everything.
"You're saying that the Taixuan Hierophant asked you to take back the kill order?" Fang Chen asked.
"That's right. Because of this, I was punished by the Hierophant. If I do not take back the kill order before the emissary from the Great Snow Mountain kills you, I will be expelled from the sect," the scholar said hoarsely.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have used the kill order in exchange for Hai Tianhou's life.
Now, he was in a situation where he had a slim chance of survival.
"Is it a waste to use the kill order on me?"
Fang Chen pursed his lips. He did not expect that the Taixuan Hierophant would look down on him. No wonder he asked the scholar to take back the kill order.
That was right.
The kill order was an important thing. It could save one's life at a critical moment. Naturally, it had to be used carefully. After all, there was only one in the entire Taixuan Sect.
Rare things were precious.
The Taixuan Hierophant and the others clearly did not think that the scholar's use of the kill order in exchange for Hai Tianhou's life was worth it.
"I've told you everything I know. Shouldn't you let me go?"
Facing Fang Chen, the scholar was completely terrified. At the beginning, he had wanted to fight against Fang Chen. However, he now realized how powerful the enemy before him was.
With a wave of his hand, he could make him lose his ability to fight.
Thinking about it carefully, even the Taixuan Hierophant might not be able to do this.
Fang Chen did not speak. He looked directly at the scholar. The latter did not dare to look him in the eye. He was so scared that his scalp went numb. Finally, with a plop, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have attacked you or targeted you. Please let me go."
At the same time, he also told Fang Chen that Hai Tianhou had called for a group of helpers. There were array masters and other masters. They were all there to deal with Fang Chen and take back the kill order.
Now, he told him everything. He did not dare to hide anything.
"Is that so?"
Surprisingly, Fang Chen did not show any killing intent. Instead, he smiled meaningfully.
After a while.
The scholar returned to normal and came to Hai Tianhou's courtyard.
"Brother, why are you here?" Hai Tianhou asked in surprise when he saw the scholar. Didn't the former go to report to the Taixuan Sect?
Why did he come to find him in the middle of the night?
Could it be that something unexpected had happened?
Or had he already found the thief?
"Hai Tianhou," the scholar said in a deep voice.
The scholar said in a deep voice, "Let's put aside the matter of retrieving the Kill Token and killing that fellow for now. There are more important matters that require your help."
"What is it?"
The scholar whispered in Hai Tianhou's ear and explained in detail. Hai Tianhou was shocked.
"This …"
Hai Tianhou was about to ask when the scholar stopped him. "Be careful. The walls have ears."
