Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Golden Token

“Wang, they’re from the Pill Alliance, we…” A young man from the Red Feather Sect said to the leader, Wang.

Wang, who appeared to be in his thirties and had a cold look on his face, sneered, “So what if they are from the Pill Alliance? Inside the Hundred Beast Mountain, it doesn’t matter who you’re up against. The only goal is to stay alive.”

On hearing these words, the other six all shivered. Wang’s audacity surprised them as he dared to provoke even the Pill Alliance.

“Brother, they outnumber us,” a woman said timidly.

Wang snorted, “Didn’t you see they’re in trouble? Their strongest four are dealing with the Fire Ape, and the rest are nothing to be worried about. We can take them down, grab their Nine Palace Bags, and leave.”

Saying this, Wang then walked towards Fang Lin, Zhou Zhishui, and others.

The men from the Red Feather Sect followed behind him reluctantly. However, their group was also quite capable, and besides Wang, who had a Heavenly Origin triple realm cultivation, the others were all at the first Heavenly Origin realm.

“What are you trying to do?” Zhou Zhishui frowned, and asked the approaching group.

Wang said with a smirk, “We noticed that the esteemed folks from the Pill Alliance are in trouble, so we thought we’d lend a hand.”

Only a fool would believe him. At this dangerous place, one could trust no one, or else face a gruesome death.

“We don’t need it, you’d better stay away from us,” Zhou Zhishui responded curtly.

Wang glanced at the four Pill Alliance stewards struggling with the Fire Ape not far away, then dropping his pretense revealed a cold stare, “Hand over your Nine Palace Bags, and I might let you live.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhishui and the others were furious. What guts the Red Feather Sect had – daring to steal from the Pill Alliance?

Fang Lin smiled. It seemed like he wasn’t surprised at all; he had suspected their malicious motives from the start.

“You are inviting disaster upon your Red Feather Sect!” Zhou Zhishui said angrily.

“Indeed! Does your Red Feather Sect wish to die? Even thinking of stealing from us, the Pill Alliance?” The other three prodigies of the Pill Alliance chimed in.

Wang sneered and suddenly attacked, not caring to exchange words with them anymore.

“Triple Heavenly Origin!” Seeing Wang in action, Zhou Zhishui and others were shocked. Wang’s cultivation was so advanced, far surpassing them.

Even if the Red Feather Sect outnumbered them, Wang alone could crush Zhou Zhishui and the others.

After all, the gap in cultivation was too wide to bridge.

“Die!” Wang’s attack was ruthless, intending to kill them all to eliminate future threats.

Zhou Zhishui gritted her teeth, and a golden token flew out of her Nine Palace Bag.

“Huh?” Wang furrowed his brow, but still reached out to grab the golden token.

The next moment, a formidable force burst from the golden token. A golden finger appeared, pointing at Wang and giving him a gentle poke.

Spurt!

Wang spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed as he was flung away, his face filled with horror.

“Brother!” The other men of the Red Feather Sect quickly rushed forward to help the injured Wang to his feet. Their faces went pale at the sight of the golden token, filled with fear.

“Just kill them.” Fang Lin grinned.

On hearing Fang Lin’s words, Wang and the others were panic-stricken. They’d ended up gaining little and losing much. It turned out that robbing people from the Pill Alliance wasn’t as easy as they thought.

“Alright!” Zhou Zhishui nodded. She urged the golden token to move toward the men of the Red Feather Sect.

Seeing the golden token flying toward them, the men from the Red Feather Sect panicked. They left the wounded Wang and ran away.

Wang was left alone, furious and terribly frightened.

“Spare me! I was wrong, I was wrong! I won’t dare to do it again!” Seeing that he was in a desperate situation, Wang immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhou Zhishui didn’t listen to him. Another finger emerged from the golden token and mercilessly pointed at Wang.

Wang screamed in despair and tried to stop the golden finger with all his strength, but all techniques were useless in the face of absolute power.

With a popping sound, Wang’s head exploded. A bloody mess was everywhere, a gruesome sight to behold.

Zhou Zhishui took back the golden token with a wave of her hand.

“With this thing, we can surely ride roughshod over others here, right?” said Fang Lin, laughing.

“This is the lifesaving item my father gave me. It can’t be used frequently. After a maximum of eight uses, it can’t be used anymore,” Zhou Zhishui replied, annoyed.

Hearing this, Fang Lin clicked his tongue, “So, it can only be used seven times now?”

Zhou Zhishui nodded. Her father was a royal prince and the top-notch expert in Xuan Country. He had crafted this token for her to preserve her life within the Hundred Beast Mountain.

“Then you better use it sparingly,” Fang Lin sighed.

After that, Fang Lin walked over to where Wang, with his smashed skull, lay dead, casually took Wang’s Nine Palace Bag.

“Come on, let’s see if there’s anything good.” Fang Lin said, quite excited.

Zhou Zhishui and others clustered around. Fang Lin opened the Nine Palace Bag and dumped everything out.

There were quite a few items, but many were useless.

Apart from some pills and weapons, there was nothing of great value.

“Sigh, he’s indeed a broke guy, no wonder he wanted to rob us.” Fang Lin said, dismissive.

“Should we…should we go help them?” A young man suggested, looking toward the not-so-distant place.

Fang Lin and others also looked over. The four Pill Alliance stewards were having a tough fight with the Fire Ape, but from the looks of it, the four should be able to defeat the Fire Ape.

Roar!!!!

Just at this moment, the Fire Ape gave a sudden roar. Its body inflamed, and the size increased by nearly half.

“Not good!” The four Pill Alliance stewards were shocked. They didn’t expect the Fire Ape to have an inherited bloodline, which it activated, and this increased its strength manifold.

Bang!

A blow from the hand of the Fire Ape struck one steward of the Pill Alliance. He screamed in pain, spat blood, and was knocked off his feet. His body was then set aflame.

“Damn it!” The steward with the Spirit Eye cursed, triggering the white light of his Spirit Eye, which made the Fire Ape’s movements sluggish.

Fang Lin and others quickly rushed over, dragged the injured steward to safety, and frantically put out the fire on his body.

“Wh-what can we do?” However, looking at his condition, they were all dumbfounded.
