Meanwhile, Gu Qing visited the Storehouse with his companions and chose the Thousand Transformations Garment, whose remarkable abilities amazed them.

• Gu Qing learned from the Magic Mirror that He Haikun served the Fox Woman clan and planned to trick Gu Qing into becoming a supposed double agent, then kill him after eliminating the clan.

As the squad departed, Gu Qing suspected the masked Rat God Cult member he had encountered before might be involved, while Xia Shuran chose to ride with him.
