Ye Jingcheng quietly stored the black-and-white token in his storage pouch, then sealed it with a spirit talisman.
Only then did he place the storage pouch inside his grotto-heaven.
With a cursory glance just now, he had discovered that the token marked quite a few demonic cultivator factions, including forces from several border prefectures such as Demon Pass Prefecture, Auspicious Origin Prefecture, and Hezhong Prefecture.
