Hearing Fan Qinghui's words, the monk Daoxin beside him said in a deep voice, "I never expected that the place where I stayed for several days was the entrance to Yang Gong's treasure vault."

At this moment, a Celestial Realm expert, clearly belonging to the Li family and clad in armor, spoke up: "What are you all standing there for? Are you waiting for all the good stuff to be snatched away?"

After saying that, the middle-aged man waved his hand, took a step forward, and jumped into the cave.

Seeing the middle-aged man's actions, the other old man, who also belonged to the Li Tang faction, and Fan Qinghui and others entered the cave one after another.

Before long, apart from a small number of Cihang Jingzhai disciples and Li family soldiers who remained around the cave entrance to guard it, the rest of the people entered the cave.

Looking through the cracks in the rocks in front of them at the group entering the cave, Wanwan and the ten elders of the Yin Kui Sect subconsciously held their breath, afraid that Fan Qinghui and the others would notice their presence.

As Wanwan looked through the rocks at the people entering the cave, she instinctively opened her mouth as if to speak.

But the words caught in his throat.

At this moment, Chu Qinghe spoke up, "With the effect of the concealing powder, plus my true essence isolating me, they won't be able to detect me even if I speak."

The moment Chu Qinghe uttered his words, Wanwan, Zhu Yuyan, and the others standing nearby were all startled.

Clearly startled by Chu Qinghe's sudden outburst, but when the words reached Wanwan, Zhu Yuyan, and the elders of the Yin Kui Sect, Zhu Yuyan and the elders first glanced through the rocks.

Once they confirmed that Fan Qinghui and the others were still surveying the cave and not looking at them, Zhu Yuyan and the Yin Kui Sect members relaxed again.

Zhu Yuyan said, "No wonder Young Master Chu was so sure that we would not be discovered while hiding here. It turns out there is such a good thing."

Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "They're just some little trinkets. Empress Yin is too kind."

After confirming that she wouldn't be discovered while speaking, Wanwan looked at Zhu Yuyan and asked, "Master, do you recognize those people?"

In response to Wanwan's question, Zhu Yuyan nodded gently and said, "I think you know about those three monks without me having to tell you. They are the other three holy monks of Buddhism, Jiaxiang and Dixin. The other two belong to the Li Tang. The one wearing armor is named Zhao Xuetu, who was once Li Yuan's subordinate. He is now the commander of the Li family's most elite Xuanjia Army."

"His cultivation has reached the early stage of the Celestial Realm. The other old man is another expert in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm in the Li family, the former Great Stele Hand Wang Chong."

After saying that, Zhu Yuyan said, "The Li family only has three experts at the Celestial Realm, but this time they actually sent two of them."

Looking at the group of people inside the cave, Lianxing asked, "Brother-in-law, judging from their clothes, it seems that only people from Cihang Jingzhai and Li Tang are among them. There are no bad guys among them."

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "If the Bad Commander and the Bad People are also involved this time, it will undoubtedly tell Cihang Jingzhai and Li Tang the seriousness of this matter. How could Cihang Jingzhai and Li Tang be in such a hurry to come over now?"

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe's gaze fell upon the group of Li Tang's Xuanjia soldiers.

However, each member of the Xuanjia Army was clad in armor and had their face covered with iron armor, making it difficult to discern their identities with the naked eye.

"That's pretty cunning."

Chu Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle to himself at this.

Meanwhile, inside the cave.

As some torches were lit, the light inside the cave brightened slightly.

After the torches were lit, both Fan Qinghui and Zhao Xuetu of the Li family frowned as they looked at the nine cave entrances leading in different directions.

After scanning the nine entrances, Shi Feixuan said slowly, "It is said that the Yang Gong Treasure Vault was designed by Master Lu Miaozi. It is full of traps and mechanisms. Of the nine entrances, only one should be the door to life, which is meant to be a narrow escape from death. If we search the wrong place, we may be in great danger."

As she spoke, Shi Feixuan paused for a moment and looked at the ground, saying, "Logically speaking, since this is the entrance to Yang Gong's Treasure Vault, there should have been footprints on the ground after the people from the Demonic Sect entered. However, I noticed this as soon as I entered the cave and did not see any footprints. The same goes for the nine entrances. It seems that Zhu Yuyan and the others deliberately cleaned up the traces after entering Yang Gong's Treasure Vault."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuetu of the Li family glanced at Shi Feixuan and then looked at Fan Qinghui, saying, "So what? We're just going to stand here and not move?"

Fan Qinghui shook her head and said, "Of course not, but Lu Miaozi has a good reputation. Since this Yang Gong Treasure Vault was designed by Lu Miaozi, it is always better to be careful."

However, Zhao Xuetu scoffed at Fan Qinghui's words. "If you're always afraid of this and that, what's the point of practicing martial arts? Even if this Yang Gong Treasure Vault isn't riddled with traps, so what?"

After saying that, Zhao Xuetu spoke again before Fan Qinghui could speak: "Since the other party knows the location of Yang Gong's Treasure Vault, their understanding of it is naturally superior to ours. We are already a step too late. If we continue to linger, we don't know what will happen. The most urgent task is to find Zhu Yuyan and the people who brought Zhu Yuyan into Yang Gong's Treasure Vault."

As he spoke, Zhao Xuetu said, "We now have a total of seven experts at the Celestial Realm, and there are nine passages in this cave. I propose that we divide the seven of us into four teams, with each team responsible for searching two caves. Master Di Xin, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Celestial Realm, will lead some people into one passage, and the remaining six will form two teams to lead some people into another passage. Then we will search these nine caves and find Zhu Yuyan and the others as soon as possible. If we find anything unusual during the process, we should immediately make a sound to let the others know, and then we can work together to deal with Zhu Yuyan and the others first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xuetu pointed to the three cave entrances on the far right and said, "Senior Wang and I will be in charge of the two on the right."

Hearing Zhao Xuetu's words, Fan Qinghui couldn't help but frown.

I have a feeling that if we split up as Zhao Xuetu suggested, it would be too dangerous.

Chu Qinghe, who was behind the rocks, chuckled to himself as he listened to Zhao Xuetu's suggestion, a hint of amusement in his expression.

"This guy is pretty brave to suggest splitting up when he doesn't understand the situation."

My wife is giving birth, so I might be too busy for the next four days and may only be able to update every few days. I'll resume two 10,000-word updates a day after she's discharged from the hospital! Please forgive me!
