Their faces suddenly changed, as Mu Nan said, stunned: “Those are the nine elders from Headquarters….this…..this……”
Mu Bei took a deep breath, and as a cold breath filled his body, he dragged Mu Nan to the side and stood respectfully. In a high voice, he said: “Junior Mu Bei greets the Ancestor.”
Mu Nan’s body quivered as he immediately echoed his brother with the utmost submission and respect: “Junior Mu Nan greets the Ancestor.”
Wang Lin swept his glance over the two but did not slow down. As he flew past them, a single glance from him was enough to cause their backs to be drenched in sweat.
After flying at a such a high speed for so long, Qian Kun needed to replenish his spiritual force, so he tapped his storage bag and took out a LingDan. However, this action caused a delay, and the distance between him and Wang Lin was not great..
He watched Wang Lin come closer and closer. With a sad smile, he glanced back at Wang Lin and viciously clenched his teeth before pulling out a red token from his storage bag, on which was written a single, scarlet-red character: “Death“.
This token was famous across the Devil Cultivator’s world as the Ten Thousand Devils Hundred Days Killing Warrant. This token has been handed down from ancient times, since the method of manufacturing it had already been lost long ago. At this time, in the entire world of Devil Cultivators, there remained only ten such tokens. Qian Kun had accidentally received one and had immediately refined it after obtaining it, as it was a treasure. For fear of others coming to know of it, he had hidden it deep, in preparation to increase his abilities in the future.
The requirements for activating it are extremely strict: the user must be in the Jie Dan stage or higher with his life at stake. Whoever kills the target is able to obtain the corpse of the marked person; refining this corpse can then result in higher cultivation, causing one’s abilities to improve greatly.
[TLNote: Essentially this Token is like putting a red flag (like wanted status in MMORPGs with PVP) on someone and if he/she manages to survive hundred days then he can retain benefits otherwise the person who kills him can obtain token]
It is precisely because of this strange effect that whenever one sees a marked person from the Sea of Devils, they would often rush to kill him. Of those who get the token, only a few would personally open the token; others would rather seek out an already-marked person instead to easily increase their cultivation.
As a result, the tokens were growing more and more rare. There were perhaps less than ten in the entire Sea of Devils. Qian Kun’s original plan had been to use it at time when he was preparing to break through to the YuanYing stage. But now that he was in a life-and-death crisis, he became ruthless, and he stopped and waited for Wang Lin who was chasing him.
In the Sea of Devils, there were few people who could live through the hundred days under the marked status. On the other hand, if someone were to manage to live through the hundred days without incident, the token would open itself to be swallowed by the marked person, increasing their cultivation and thereby enhancing their abilities.
Seeing Wang Lin come closer, Qian Kun held up the Ten Thousand Devils Hundred Days Killing Warrant and shouted in a restrained manner: “Stop! You can recognize this token. I have refined this token and integrated my soul with it. If you kill me, I will ensure that this warrant activates and puts out a mark on you. Today we made a mistake, but you have also killed nine people. Why this haste to exterminate us all? If you release me, then I can become your reference to allow you to become an Elder in the Dou Xie Sect! What do you think of this?”
