Han Li, Chen Yang, and Gu Qianxun quickly cleaned up the cave, erasing the traces of the battle and piling up the corpses of Du Qingyang and the others.

Chen Yang searched Du Qingyang's body for a while and found a black token.

The token was triangular in shape with two curved protrusions on top, resembling the head of a strange ram.

The words "Qing Yang" were written on one side of the token, and the words "Xuan City" were on the other. The token was made of an unknown material, and its surface faintly shimmered with an odd black light.

Chen Yang was overjoyed upon seeing this and began to fondle it in his hands.

Han Li glanced at the black token, knowing that it was likely the token representing the identity of the Qing Yang City Lord.

"You'll have plenty of time to admire that thing later. This isn't a place to linger," Gu Qianxun said coldly.

"Hehe, pardon my display."

Chen Yang chuckled, put away the black token, and took out a white round stone, rubbing it slightly with his finger before throwing it into the pile of corpses.

With a "chila" sound, the white round stone suddenly burst into flames, turning into a ball of white fire that engulfed the corpses of Du Qingyang and the others, quickly melting them away.

"Time is of the essence. Let's go." Before the corpses were completely burned, Chen Yang quickly changed into a new set of clothes and took out two sets of black armor for Han Li and the others to wear.

Han Li took the black armor but didn't put it on immediately, a look of doubt on his face.

"There's a powerful confidant of Du Qingyang guarding the secret vault. We need to get rid of him first. Wearing these guard uniforms will make it easier for you two," Chen Yang explained.

Han Li nodded upon hearing this, and was about to take off his Xuan Warrior's clothing, but he paused when he glanced at Gu Qianxun.

His Xuan Warrior's clothes were quite thin, unlike Chen Yang's clothes. If he took them off, he would be left with almost nothing.

At that moment, the sound of clothes rubbing came from the side. Gu Qianxun had directly removed her goose-yellow dress, revealing a white, close-fitting undergarment.

The undergarment was a little too small, squeezing her pair of white jade-like breasts to the point of slight deformation, as if they were about to burst out. Her slender waist could be spanned by a single hand, and her rounded, slender legs shimmered with a snow-white luster, their proportions were perfect.

However, Han Li and Chen Yang showed no lustful thoughts. Gu Qianxun's chest, abdomen, and legs were covered in scars. Especially on her chest was a huge centipede-shaped scar that stretched diagonally downwards from her collarbone, which was shocking to the eye.

Han Li's pupils contracted slightly. When the physical body cultivation reached their level, ordinary injuries were difficult to leave scars, unless they were injured by some special weapons, or suffered a truly life-threatening heavy damage, then it was possible to leave some scars.

In either case, Gu Qianxun's past experiences were not simple.

Gu Qianxun's expression was calm, as if Han Li and Chen Yang were just two stone statues. She put on the black armor and quickly got dressed.

"Time is short. You two should change your clothes quickly. You two don't need to apply such useless common sense about gender differences to me. I've never been in that kind of naive environment." Gu Qianxun said lightly, and then took the lead to walk outside.

"Gu Fellow Daoist is really unique," Chen Yang said with a啧啧 sound, as if he had just recovered.

Han Li smiled wryly, quickly took off his Xuan Warrior clothes, and put on the black armor.

The black armor suit had a mask on the face, covering most of the face, which was more concealed and safer.

So, under the leadership of Chen Yang, the two immediately left the cave and went up the tunnel they had come from. Crab Daoren followed slowly behind.

"Li Fellow Daoist, how about we join hands?" At this moment, a thin, mosquito-like voice sounded in his mind. It was very different from ordinary divine sense transmission, but it was Gu Qianxun's voice.

Han Li raised an eyebrow when he heard this and glanced at Gu Qianxun out of the corner of his eye.

"I know that Li Fellow Daoist likes to be alone. It can be seen from the fact that you were unwilling to join the Thousand Bones Alliance before. But today is different from the past. Now that Du Qingyang is dead, my transaction with Chen Yang is over. After he successfully takes the throne, it seems that you and I have no use. After all, there are still Black Tribulation Insects in our bodies," Gu Qianxun said quickly in an even thinner voice.

Han Li still didn't speak, but glanced at Chen Yang's right arm wrapped in animal skin.

"Chen Yang's strength is unfathomable, far more than he just showed. Although it seems that he self-detonated the right arm's Profound Aperture, he should not be underestimated. And his temperament is cunning, and he must not be trusted. Now we can only join hands to ensure everything is safe," Gu Qianxun said, as if understanding Han Li's meaning.

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly. After a little pondering, he nodded almost imperceptibly.

Gu Qianxun saw Han Li's move, a hint of joy flashed in the depths of her eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

The group of four quickly left the tunnel and arrived at a side hall in the City Lord's Mansion.

There were many people gathered here, mostly guards from the City Lord's Mansion, as well as some stewards, servants, and so on.

The few people who had gone hunting with Chen Yang were also here. As soon as they saw Chen Yang come in, they immediately greeted him.

"Captain Chen Yang, how is the situation?" The tattooed youth asked in a low voice.

"It's resolved," Chen Yang grinned.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall let out a cheer.

"Now everyone acts according to the plan and goes their separate ways." Chen Yang raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to calm down, while whispering his instructions.

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly restrained their emotions, agreed in unison, and then left separately.

"Let's go too," Chen Yang said softly to Han Li and the others, and walked out of the side hall, heading towards a secluded path.

After a while, the four arrived at a wide stone hall. At the end of the stone hall was a stone gate several feet high, engraved with silver patterns that shone with a burst of silver starlight.

The four golden characters "Qing Yang Secret Treasure" were engraved on the stone wall above the stone gate.

In the center of the stone hall stood a black stone platform several feet in size. A gray-robed old man was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, practicing with his eyes closed.

The old man looked ordinary, but his cheeks showed bursts of silvery white color, which looked very strange.

Strands of silvery white light bloomed from the old man's body and shot out in all directions, with a good near hundreds of them, looking like a silver hedgehog.

Hearing the footsteps of Chen Yang and the others, the gray-robed old man opened his eyes and looked over. The silver light on his body completely contracted and disappeared.

"Captain Chen Yang, why are you here?" The gray-robed old man looked over, a hint of vigilance appearing on his face, his tone indifferent.

"Old Ye, the City Lord is currently presiding over the Jialuo Blood Array. There is a problem with the formation at the moment, and it urgently needs Blood Essence Crystals to remedy it. The City Lord asked me to come and get some." Chen Yang's face was full of urgency, and he said quickly.

"The secret vault can only be opened by the City Lord himself, or by holding the City Lord's token. Captain Chen Yang, do you have the City Lord's warrant?" The gray-robed old man's face did not change at all when he heard this.

"Look at me, I was so anxious that I forgot about this. This is the City Lord's token." Chen Yang patted his head, making a look of annoyance, and took out the black token that he had obtained from Du Qingyang's body.

The gray-robed old man's vigilance decreased slightly when he saw the token. He took out a silver key that was a foot long, and was about to turn around and walk towards the stone gate.

"Eh, the secret vault door!" At this moment, Chen Yang suddenly widened his eyes and pointed to the secret vault door, as if he had seen something incredible.

The gray-robed old man was startled when he heard the sound and suddenly turned to look at the door.

The secret vault door was tightly closed, with silver light flickering on it, without any changes.

The gray-robed old man was stunned. At that moment, three shrill gusts of wind attacked from behind.

Eighteen starlight spots appeared on Han Li's arms, his arms suddenly thickened by more than twice, and they were presented in a bright golden color, looking like two golden giant pestles, pounding towards the gray-robed old man.

Strands of white light suddenly appeared on Chen Yang's left hand, with twenty or thirty Profound Apertures emerging. Like his right hand, it was like an indestructible white giant sword, stabbing fiercely towards the old man's heart.

At this moment, Gu Qianxun held the white bone sword in her hand, and turned into white sword shadows, slashing towards the old man's neck.

"What are you doing!" The gray-robed old man instantly felt the three terrifying auras behind him. Before he could turn around, his entire body instantly turned into a silver electric light, fleeing forward.

Although the old man reacted a moment late, his speed of fleeing forward was no slower than Chen Yang and the others. The attacks of the three people could not catch up with this person for a while.

At the same time, strands of silver light bloomed from the gray-robed old man's body, quickly connecting together, vaguely forming a silver armor covered with spikes.

Chen Yang's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and he was about to do something.

But at this moment, Han Li's figure suddenly became blurred, his speed increased by more than twice, and he instantly caught up with the gray-robed old man. His fists slammed hard on the gray-robed old man's shoulders.

Dazzling golden light burst out from Han Li's fists, and the space within a few feet of the area made a buzzing sound, and the void trembled wildly as if it were collapsing.

"Bang"

With a crisp sound like bone breaking, the gray-robed old man's body was knocked forward and smashed heavily on the ground like a sandbag.

The silver armor on his body also collapsed and disappeared.

Before the gray-robed old man could react, there were two soft sounds of "poof" and "poof".

Chen Yang's left hand had pierced the gray-robed old man's chest, grabbed a beating blood-red heart, and crushed it.

Gu Qianxun's bone sword also pierced the gray-robed old man's dantian almost at the same time, and strands of sharp white light bloomed from the bone sword, twisting out a blood hole.

"You... dare to..." The gray-robed old man struggled to spit out a few words, his body twitched a few times, his eyes quickly became dim, and his breath was gone.

"Thanks to Li Fellow Daoist for scattering his Star Spike Profound Armor with one blow, otherwise it would be dangerous if he reacted," Chen Yang pulled out his arm, and Han Li nodded and smiled.

Han Li glanced at Chen Yang's left hand, a strange color flashed in his eyes, shook his head faintly, and said nothing.

Gu Qianxun also took back the bone sword, shook her wrist, and turned it back into a white bone spine chain, wrapped around her waist.

Chen Yang took the silver key in the gray-robed old man's hand and came to the secret vault door.

On a white bulge the size of a bowl at the bottom of the door, he raised and moved his hand, and the white bulge immediately moved to the side, revealing a keyhole.

Chen Yang inserted the key into it and turned it a few times.

There were a few muffled sounds of "kaka", the silver light on the stone door disappeared, and then the door slowly opened.
