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 rummaged through Du Qingyang's corpse for a while, pulling out a dark black token.

The token was triangular in shape, with two curved protrusions at the top, looking much like a bizarre ram's head.

The words 'Qing Yang' were written on one side of the token, and 'Xuan Cheng' on the other. It was unknown what material it was made of, but the surface faintly pulsed with a strange black light.

Chen Yang was overjoyed upon seeing this, and fondled it in his hand.

Han Li glanced at the black token, knowing that this was likely the token representing the Qingyang City Lord's identity.

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

"Hehe, forgive me for making a spectacle of myself."

Chen Yang chuckled, put away the black token, took out a white round stone, rubbed it slightly with his finger, and then threw 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, enveloping the corpses of Du Qingyang and the others, which quickly melted away.

"Time is of the essence, let's go now." Chen Yang, without waiting for the corpses to burn completely, immediately 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 did not put it on immediately, a look of doubt on his face.

"There is a powerful confidant of Du Qingyang guarding the secret vault. We must get rid of him first. It will be easier for you two to act if you put on these guard uniforms," Chen Yang explained.

Han Li nodded upon hearing this, and was about to take off his Xuan Warrior attire, but glanced at Gu Qianxun, and hesitated.

His Xuan Warrior clothes were different from Chen Yang's, quite thin, and if he took them off, he would be left with almost nothing.

Just then, the sound of clothes rubbing came from the side, and Gu Qianxun directly took off her goose-yellow clothes, revealing a white, close-fitting undergarment.

The undergarment was a little too small, squeezing the woman's pair of white jade-like breasts, making them seem about to burst forth; her slender waist, barely able to be grasped; her rounded, slender legs, shimmering with a snow-white luster, were perfectly proportioned.

However, Han Li and Chen Yang had no lustful thoughts at the moment. Gu Qianxun's chest, abdomen, and legs were covered with scars, especially a large centipede-shaped scar on her chest, extending diagonally downwards from her collarbone, which was shocking.

Han Li's pupils shrank slightly. At their level of physical cultivation, ordinary injuries were difficult to leave scars, unless they were injured by some special weapon, or suffered a near-fatal injury, it was possible to leave some scars.

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

Gu Qianxun's face was calm, as if the two men, Han Li and Chen Yang, were just two stone statues. She put on the black armor and quickly tidied herself up.

"Time is short, you should also change your clothes quickly. The useless conventions of men and women are unnecessary for me. I have never been in such a naive environment," Gu Qianxun said lightly, and then took the lead and walked outside.

"Gu Daoyou is truly unique," Chen Yang said with a chuckle, seemingly just now regaining his senses.

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

The black armored uniform had a mask on the face, covering most of the face, making it more concealed and safe.

So, led by Chen Yang, the two immediately left the cave and walked upwards along the tunnel they had come from, while Crab Daoyou followed unhurriedly behind.

"Li Daoyou, how about we join forces?" Just then, a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum sounded in his mind, different from ordinary divine sense transmission, it was Gu Qianxun's voice.

Han Li raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and glanced at Gu Qianxun out of the corner of his eye.

"I know Li Daoyou likes to be alone, which can be seen from your unwillingness to join the Thousand Bone Alliance before. But today is different from the past. Now that Du Qingyang is dead, my deal with Chen Yang is over. After he successfully takes the position, you and I seem to have no value, after all, we both have Black Tribulation Insects in our bodies," Gu Qianxun said quickly, her voice even weaker.

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

"Chen Yang's strength is unfathomable, far more than what he just showed. Although he seems to have self-detonated the Xuan Acupoint in his right arm, he should not be underestimated. Moreover, he is cunning and should not be trusted lightly. Now we can only join forces to ensure everything is foolproof," Gu Qianxun seemed to understand Han Li's meaning, and said again.

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, he pondered for a moment, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

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

The group of four quickly left the tunnel and came to a side hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Many people were gathered here, mostly guards of 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 enter, they immediately greeted him.

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

"It's settled," Chen Yang grinned.

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

"Now everyone acts according to the plan, and do your own thing." Chen Yang raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to calm down, and whispered.

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

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

A moment later, the four arrived at a wide stone hall. At the end of the stone hall was a stone door several feet high, engraved with silver patterns, shimmering with silver starlight.

The four golden characters "Qingyang Secret Vault" were engraved on the stone wall at the top of the stone door.

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

The old man's appearance was ordinary, but his cheeks were flushed with silvery-white color, which looked very strange.

Silver rays of light bloomed from the old man's body, shooting in all directions, as many as nearly a hundred, 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 all retracted and disappeared.

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

"Elder Ye, the City Lord is currently presiding over the Garo Blood Array. There is a problem with the formation, and it urgently needs Blood Essence Crystals to remedy it. The City Lord asked me to come and get some," Chen Yang said quickly, his face full of urgency.

"The secret vault can only be opened by the City Lord himself, or by someone holding the City Lord's token. Does Captain Chen Yang have the City Lord's warrant?" The gray-robed old man's expression didn't change at all upon hearing 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, feigning annoyance, and turned his hand to take out the black token he had obtained from Du Qingyang's corpse.

The gray-robed old man saw the token, and the vigilance on his face diminished slightly. He turned his hand and took out a silver key about a foot long, and was about to turn around and walk towards the stone door.

"Oh, the secret vault door!" Just then, 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 gate.

The secret vault door was tightly closed, and the silver light on it flickered, without any changes.

The gray-robed old man was stunned. Just then, three shrill, sharp winds attacked from behind.

Eighteen starlight points appeared on Han Li's arms, and his arms suddenly thickened by more than double, and the whole body presented a brilliant golden color, looking like two golden giant pestles, smashing towards the gray-robed old man.

A burst of white light suddenly appeared on Chen Yang's left hand, and twenty or thirty Xuan Acupoints appeared, just like his right hand, like an indestructible white giant sword, stabbing fiercely at the old man's heart.

At this moment, Gu Qianxun's hand flashed with the white bone sword, which transformed into white sword shadows, slashing at the old man's neck.

"What are you trying to do!" The gray-robed old man instantly felt the three terrifying auras behind him. Before he could turn around, his whole body instantly turned into a silver lightning, fleeing forward.

Although the old man reacted a moment late, his speed of fleeing forward was not slower than Chen Yang and the others, and the attacks of the three could not catch up with him for a while.

At the same time, silver rays of light bloomed from the gray-robed old man's body, quickly connecting with each other, faintly forming a silver armor covered with spikes.

Chen Yang's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene, and he was about to do something.

But just then, Han Li's figure suddenly became blurred, and his speed suddenly increased by more than double, instantly catching up with the gray-robed old man, and his fists slammed **** on the gray-robed old man's shoulders.

A dazzling golden light burst out from Han Li's fists, and the space within a few feet nearby buzzed loudly, and the void trembled frantically as if collapsing.

"Bang"

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

The silver armor on his body also collapsed and dissipated.

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

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

And Gu Qianxun's bone sword also pierced through the gray-robed old man's lower abdomen dantian almost at the same time, and a blood hole was twisted out by the sharp white light blooming from the bone sword.

"You...dare..." The gray-robed old man uttered a few words with difficulty, his body twitched a few times, his eyes quickly dimmed, and he lost his breath.

"Thanks to Li Daoyou for dispersing his Star Thorn Profound Armor with one blow, otherwise it would have been dangerous if he had reacted," Chen Yang withdrew 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 lightly, and said nothing.

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

Chen Yang took the silver key from the gray-robed old man and came to the front of the secret vault door.

On a white bulge the size of a bowl at the bottom of the door, he lifted and moved his hand on it, 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", and the silver light on the stone door disappeared. Then the door slowly opened.
