Chapter 2877
“Patriarch, what about the treasure key? Was it intentionally distributed? It’s astonishing that so many people now possess a jade token identical to mine!”
“Could it be that all the other keys are counterfeit?”
Kai questioned, filled with disbelief.
If the treasure map was purposefully scattered, what about the treasure keys? Were they all fake as well?
“What is true can also be false, and what is false can also be true. The entire Extreme North Land holds many treasures belonging to our Ancient Body Refining Clan, and those treasures require keys!”
“However, among these treasures, some may lead to empty caves, some to traps, and others might contain only worthless items!”
“There is only one genuine treasure hidden among all these others, which means the keys that others possess can’t be fake either.”
“The only problem is, I don’t know where the real treasure is…”
The Patriarch continued, following Kai’s lead in explanation.
This made Kai even more bewildered. With so many treasures in question, how was one supposed to identify the real one?
“Clan chief, I’ve heard from the Tile Jar that your ancestor’s treasure was excavated with the help of demonic cultivators, who were ultimately slain. Why did those demonic cultivators follow your commands?”
Kai had long been curious about this. Logically speaking, the Ancient Body Refining Clan should not have been too powerful, as their cultivation method required a slower progression!
Given that the demonic cultivators likely matched the strength of the Ancient Body Refining Clan, why would they allow themselves to be directed without any resistance?
The clan chief smiled slightly upon hearing this and looked over at Tile Tank and the others, saying, “You all can leave now…”
In no time, only Kai and the Patriarch remained inside the tent!
At that moment, the Patriarch retrieved a whip from a box. It was golden and adorned with faintly glowing characters, emitting a calming energy!
Kai could immediately tell that the whip was enchanted, and the energy it radiated was unlike that of any ordinary weapon!
“This is known as the Demon Whip. When it strikes a demon, it not only inflicts pain but can also harm the demon’s soul! Additionally, the peaceful energy emanating from this Demon Whip is a supreme treasure that suppresses demonic auras. It is thanks to this whip that our Ancient Body Refining Clan has been able to control those demonic cultivators.”
“Legend has it that it fell from the Heavenly Realm alongside the Ice Spirit, though no one knows if that’s true.”
The Patriarch explained as Kai observed the Demon Whip, his eyes glinting with curiosity.
A weapon capable of subduing the demonic race was indeed invaluable!
“Clan Chief, may I hold this Demon Whip?”
Kai asked cautiously, understanding that its immense value might warrant reluctance from the chief.
“Of course,” the Patriarch replied, handing the Demon Whip to Kai.
As Kai grasped the whip, a divine sense immediately spread through it, revealing its unique formation!
Eventually, Kai noticed that the formation on the Demon Whip was distinctly different from those he was familiar with—it was quite peculiar!
While Kai contemplated examining the Demon Whip further, Ochre Yan’s voice echoed in his mind, filled with distress!
“Mr. Chen, stop right now! The aura from this object is overwhelming; my divine soul is on the verge of dissipating!”
Realizing that Ochre Yan was a demon and thus particularly sensitive to the whip’s aura, Kai quickly withdrew his divine sense and returned the Demon Whip to the Patriarch.
“Clan Chief, with this Demon Whip, you’ll have the upper hand against the Demon Race!”
Kai said, filled with envy.
