Having witnessed Ye Fan's capabilities, the Great Elder was very cautious. He stood over ten meters away from Ye Fan, with a grave expression and eyes fixed intently on him. He spoke, "Ye Fan, it seems you're no ordinary person, having managed to arrive here unscathed. Heh heh, it looks like I underestimated you."
Ye Fan glanced at the Great Elder and said, "From the moment you attacked us, your fate was sealed—I was destined to kill you. Now, will you take your own life, or shall I do it for you?"
The Great Elder laughed loudly, took out the already damaged key from his bosom, and shook it vigorously twice, saying, "Ye Fan, do you see this? The key is still with me. Now, we either continue the previous deal—exchange Yuan Stones for it, or you can forget about entering the Treasure Vault for the rest of your life."
