"Fairy Buyu, young Daoist Taiping, we have been offering our congratulations for some time."
On the second floor of the Treasury, a youthful-looking guard smiled at Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu, who had just come upstairs.

It was just as Lin Buyu had predicted.
The martial artist guard suddenly cupped his fists toward them and said:
"I am Danshou, guard of the second floor of the Flame Emperor Treasury."
The youthful-looking guard also cupped his hands with a smile:

"Fairy Buyu, I will accompany you as you select treasures on this second floor."
Lin Buyu nodded in understanding.
Clearly, the guards of the Flame Emperor Treasury would not allow them to share what they had.

Xu Taiping nodded.
"You are right, Senior. True Martial Heaven was indeed cleaved open by the True Martial Great Emperor."
The guard Xiye
