"Whew..."
Jin Buhuan let out a deep breath.
The eight of them were Mahayana Emperor Realm cultivators; they could not possibly all be killed.
But now, the Dragon Race had raided their home and taken control of all the Golden Suffering Tribe's disciples.
Unless Jin Buhuan handed over the key, all the Heavenly Fierce Beast Tribe's disciples would die.

It would mean nothing to the entire Lineage!
If another one or two Mahayana Emperor Realm cultivators died, the blood of those remaining would not be enough to open these Immortal Ruins.

"However, I can swear not to slaughter you!"

But the oath only guaranteed that he would not slaughter the Golden Suffering Tribe.
"Fine!" Jin Buhuan took out the golden Token and tossed it through the air to the Phoenix Emperor.
The Phoenix Emperor examined it carefully and said, "Good... this is indeed the key to opening the Golden Suffering Immortal Ruins...
