"What other key? Wasn't that key on you?" The Spirit Refining Stage expert from Shu Mountain froze at his words.
Old Yellow Tooth narrowed his eyes slightly and stared coldly at the Nascent Soul Realm man. Shaking his head, he said, "There are two keys on that stone gate in total, called the Yin-Yang Keys. One of them was taken by him."
"What?" The Shu Mountain cultivators immediately turned their gazes toward the Nascent Soul Realm man.
A flicker of unease crossed the Nascent Soul Realm man's face. He stammered, "I... I only planned to tell you after obtaining the other key. I know I was wrong. Senior Brother, don't kill me. We have two Spirit Refining Stage cultivators too—we don't need to fear them at all. Kill them, take the key, open that stone gate, and every treasure inside will belong to us."
"Hmph. Do you know what you're saying?" The Spirit Refining Stage expert's expression changed drastically. He struck the Nascent Soul Realm man to the ground with one palm, then cautiously glanced at Chen Fan, afraid Chen Fan would truly misunderstand and think they intended to attack.
"Brother Chen, do not listen to this man's mad ravings. We have no such intentions. We will certainly hand the key over to you," the Spirit Refining Stage expert said. He then glared viciously at the disciple lying on the ground and shouted, "Why aren't you handing it over?"
"I... I'll hand it over." The disciple was already scared witless. With a panic-stricken face, he fumbled through his Storage Ring before finally taking out a silver key and handing it to the Spirit Refining Stage expert.
Chen Fan watched it all with cold eyes and said nothing. He had left everything to Old Yellow Tooth to handle.
