Chapter 595: Acquiring the Heavenly Demon Token
Elder Lin, who had devoted his life to poison and possessed extraordinary skills in it, rose to prominence thanks to the “Golden Thread Snake King,” securing a place in the demonic sect.
However!
Elder Lin’s own strength wasn’t particularly outstanding. Without the “Golden Thread Snake King” as his trump card, and with his poison skills utterly surpassed by the “Nine Yang Divine Skill,” he was easily subdued by Kai Xin during moments of emotional turmoil, with his meridians blocked.
“You brat! Give back my Golden Thread Snake King!”
At such a desperate stage, his concern wasn’t for his own situation, showing just how important the Golden Thread Snake King was to him. Kai Xin could fully understand this…
The Golden Thread Snake King was a rare treasure in the world—hard to come by! Owning it was akin to acquiring an unparalleled divine weapon. In his past life, several players became obsessed after losing it, spending their days in the mountains of the Miao villages, hoping to find another one in this world full of poisons.
Seeing Elder Lin’s frenzied state, Kai Xin realized it was unlikely to get any information about Song Yuanqiao and the others from him, so he gave up and pointed at Elder Lin’s forehead.
Bang!
The body collapsed, and numerous poisons rushed out from Elder Lin’s clothes, instantly covering his corpse. Kai Xin frowned and scattered some realgar from a distance, using a palm strike to disperse the poisons. With his left hand forming a claw, he grabbed the Cosmic Bag hanging from Elder Lin’s waist.
If poison experts saw all these poisons scattered on the ground, they would be overjoyed. But Kai Xin had no interest in these insects, scorpions, snakes, and centipedes. Even though they could fetch good prices in the market, he didn’t bother with them. After glancing at Elder Lin’s Cosmic Bag, he turned and left.
Ding!
System notification:
“Slew the demonic sect expert ‘Elder Lin.’ Battle assessment: A+ level.”
“The ‘Combined Finger Technique’ has been upgraded by 1 level; current level: 80.17!”
Having slain another expert at the Wuwei realm, Kai Xin finally understood why the “Emperor” of his past life could surpass so many others in training speed. By targeting NPC experts as prey, it was no wonder his internal strength kept improving.
Elder Lin contributed many canned poisons—top-quality items favored by current poison experts, such as “Male and Female Flying Centipedes” and “Red-Tailed Scorpions.”
What concerned Kai Xin most was a poison palm technique, the “Five Poisons Divine Palm,” which could only be practiced at the Jie Tuo realm, plus the fourth Heavenly Demon Token he had obtained!
“Brother Lei.”
Happy quickly sent a message to Lei Zhan, instructing him: “Help locate Song Yuanqiao’s whereabouts right away. Also, find someone to buy the ‘Heavenly Demon Token’ for me.”
“The Heavenly Demon Token? What, do you want to join the Heavenly Demon Sect too?”
Lei Zhan replied promptly: “It’s really popular these days. I heard there’s a group specifically buying the Heavenly Demon Token. But it’s not easy to get—among a thousand disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, maybe only one drops one. If you get one per day, that’s already good. It’s extremely expensive, and its purpose is still unknown.”
“Someone is already buying the Heavenly Demon Token?”
Happy was stunned. The Heavenly Demon Sect had only appeared recently, yet someone had already recognized its value? In his past life, it seemed it took a long time before anyone noticed its usefulness!
If something really changed, it seemed he had indeed paid less attention to the martial world lately and missed a lot of information.
“What’s the current purchase price?”
Happy asked urgently.
“One million taels of silver per piece!”
Lei Zhan answered.
Happy pondered for a moment before quickly sending a reply: “That’s not much. Raise the price—buy them all at two million taels each! Get as many as you can!”
“Do you have any insider information?”
Hearing Happy’s aggressive plan to buy the Heavenly Demon Tokens, Lei Zhan became interested too: “Can you share it?”
Happy knew Lei Zhan couldn’t resist and smiled. He silently took out four Heavenly Demon Tokens. The four tokens glowed together and quickly merged into one. New information appeared: “When the four Heavenly Demon Tokens are gathered and embedded in the mechanism of the hall at the ruins of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it can activate the black iron door to enter the Heavenly Demon Secret Caves!”
The message vanished in an instant.
The four Heavenly Demon Tokens quickly dispersed again, turning back into ordinary tokens.
“It’s a secret mission of the Heavenly Demon Sect, similar to the Wang Ling mission. It’s like a key—only by gathering all four tokens can one enter.”
After a pause, Happy thought again and sent another message: “Since it seems others have also noticed the Heavenly Demon Token, we shouldn’t delay. Contact Yin Hu, Mo Mo, Xiao Bei, and Feng Ling right away. Have them head to the Heavenly Demon Sect and join me in exploring the Heavenly Demon Secret Caves!”
“What about me?” Lei Zhan asked, disappointed to find his name not on Happy’s list. “And why include Feng Ling? She’s not yet part of the Mu family.”
“You should stay at the Mu Family’s residence for now; let us handle such trivial matters.” Happy replied jokingly, “As for Wind Chime, if we encounter too many disciples of the Demon Sect in the Secret Cavern of the Heavenly Demon, it would be best to have her clear the way.”
Joking aside, he, who knew the Secret Cavern of the Heavenly Demon extremely well, naturally understood that opening it was a fortunate thing, but without sufficient strength, attempting it meant certain death. The countless disciples of the Demon Sect descending from the sky, along with the ingenious death traps along the way, could bury an entire gang inside.
Wind Chime…
was indispensable for this mission.
Lei Zhan knew that Happy’s plans were always thorough and well-thought out, and there were reasons not to involve him. He immediately agreed and quickly had the four of them contact Happy.
After talking to them, Happy sent a message to Yao Shi Wan Neng via homing pigeon.
“How did you think of me?”
“I heard you went to the Western Regions recently. Can’t I send my regards?” Happy said with a smile. “What? Are the people there wealthy enough to make you, the heir of the Masterful Hands Sect, linger there so long?”
After all, the Western Regions also fell under the Mu Family’s domain. Although there were constant conflicts and battles with several small countries along the borders, the experts from the Colorful Robes Sect under the Mu Family had superior equipment and strength, so Yao Shi Wan Neng was naturally safe.
“Hehe, pretty much.”
Yao Shi Wan Neng replied, “It’s just that I suddenly realized recently that stealing from foreign countries gives more satisfaction than from my own country. Hehe, a few days ago I stole a fourth-level Black Iron Fist Glove from a guy in Thailand. That guy kept shouting outside our city for ages, and he’s still looking for me every day. But he doesn’t know I can disguise myself. I walk right in front of him every day, and he doesn’t even notice, haha…”
“You kid, you’re getting worse.”
“What’s up? Is there anything good this time you’re looking for me?”
“The Demon Sect isn’t very far from your place. Do you have time to come over? I’m planning to go there on a mission, and I need someone skilled with traps.”
