Entering the Great Shrine

With Su Fangjia and three hunting dogs, plus the four heroes of Qingzhou, this was almost equivalent to an eight-person group.

Although none of them were individually strong, they undoubtedly had the advantage against the martial arts heroes who had inhaled poisonous smoke or been hit by crossbow bolts.

Only a dozen or so people managed to force their way out of the ancestral hall's thick gate, and many of them lost their lives.

This even includes the owner of Huanglong Island, who previously boasted about his adequate physical protection.

"You sons of bitches from the Beast Taming Sect..."

The Lord of Huanglong Island cursed in frustration. His body, numb from the poisoned crossbow bolt, was extremely difficult to move. Then, a mad hunting dog bit his throat.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the gurgling sound in his throat made it even harder for him to utter curses.

"Keep cursing in your next life!"

Su Fei kicked over the corpse of the Yellow Dragon Island Master and spat out a curse as his final response.

"That's a brilliant move, like the mantis stalking the cicada!"

Su Fei felt that the situation was settled when he heard clapping in the distance, which sent chills down his spine.

The worst thing about doing bad things is being caught red-handed. The main reason Su Fei and the Four Heroes of Qingzhou dared to do this was that the government troops had fled, and all the heroes of the martial arts world had entered the ancestral hall.

He even used hunting dogs to patrol the Beast Taming Sect's headquarters to make sure no one was there.

"Li Shigong, Huang Shigong, Bai Shigong, Li Erbao the Red-Clad Hand, and Xie Xunhuan the Smoke-Drenched Guest!"

Zhang Xuezhou and others used aliases, and Jin Chang and Lei Bei also used aliases and nicknames to deal with the situation.

Su Fei glanced at the five people, but his gaze was mostly fixed on Li Shaojun.

He watched as the old man was shot dead, not expecting that the man had faked his death and escaped, even managing to shake off his hunting dogs' patrol. Furthermore, Jin Chang and Lei Bei ignored by his hunting dogs, making it difficult for Su Fei to gauge the strength of these people.

"Since you're not dead, let's open the secret vault together and each take what we need," Su Fei said.

"What other secrets does this vault hold?" Jin Chang asked with interest. "With your cunning, you shouldn't have let the Four Heroes of Qingzhou survive, right?"

"Don't try to sow discord," Su Fei frowned. "I'm happy to open the secret vault with everyone and retrieve the treasures together. After all, I can't take everything from the vault by myself. But some people wouldn't even let me open the door; they just pushed me out, which is why they're in this deadly predicament. Besides, I didn't activate these mechanisms; they forcibly opened the vault and triggered them. The Four Heroes of Qingzhou can all testify to that!"

"Oh!"

Jin Chang gave a curt reply.

"Then go and open the secret vault door. We're not greedy; we just want to take some usable items," Jin Chang said.

"Aren't you afraid I'll embezzle the money after I go in?" Su Fei asked.

"Where can you swallow it all?" Jin Chang asked in a low voice.

Jin Chang looked at the young man in front of him, who was nearly twenty years younger than him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. His appearance seemed a bit premature, but Jin Chang really needed Su Fei's cooperation, even though they had the key to the secret vault.

If the Beast Taming Sect can set up traps outside, then the secret vault must also be fraught with murderous intent, making it difficult to guard against.

However, Su Fei lacks the key to the secret vault, and forcibly breaking into the vault would inevitably cause some irreversible damage, resulting in the incomplete storage of the secret vault's contents.

Only by working together can they possibly obtain the treasures of the Beast Taming Sect.

Jin Chang's waiting style outside the door left Su Fei helpless. He wanted to test the background of these people, but he still needed to use the hunting dogs to control the four heroes of Qingzhou. Moreover, the fact that the other party did not follow him in made the arrangements inside the Beast Taming Sect ineffective.

"As the saying goes, treasures are only for those who see them. You're not even going to see them, you're just waiting for us to come out so you can rob us. That doesn't make sense," Su Fei said after thinking for a moment.

"What, you want us to come forward and kill us inside the secret vault?" Jin Chang sneered. "We're not fools. You don't need to think of any ways to deal with us. When you make a move against us, I'll definitely kill you!"

Jin Chang gestured across his neck, then glanced at Zhang Xuezhou.

"Young brother, cooperation will benefit both of us, while fighting will harm both. Why ruin our harmony?" Zhang Xuezhou said in a wise and conciliatory tone, "The best course of action is for us to cooperate and retrieve the treasure inside!"

"Many people said that before," Su Fei said with a wry smile, "But here, nobody follows the rules!"

"We are different..."

Nobody is different!

"We're simply seeking cooperation," Zhang Xuezhou said. "After all, our cooperation comes with sincerity!"

What sincerity?

"We've found the key to the Beast Taming Sect's secret vault!"

"You..."

Zhang Xuezhou's reply sent shockwaves through Su Fei's heart.

As the young master of the Beast Taming Sect, Su Fei did not actually have the key to the secret vault. This key had always been kept by the former sect master, Su Fang, and no one carried a key around all the time.

But by the time Su Fei secretly sneaked back to the temporary base to look for the key, the internal strife within the Beast Taming Sect had ended, leaving only a pile of corpses, and the key was nowhere to be found.

If Su Fei had the key to open the vault door, things would be much easier. This would also preserve the vault's interior to the greatest extent possible, preventing a possible collapse if it were forcibly opened.

He had a question in his mind: where did these people get their key, and was they connected to the people who killed his father?

"We need you to sincerely lead the way, not to use the secret vault's mechanisms against us," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"As long as you have the key, these things naturally won't happen," Su Fei said. "After all, I came here seeking benefits, not to kill anyone!"

"It's settled then, open the door!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the gate of the ancestral hall, signaling Su Fei to get down to business.

Although Zhang Cigong knew he was coming, he was also mixed in with this group of martial arts figures. If Zhang Cigong hadn't urged Jin Chang, Jin Chang might have wanted to wait a while longer.

"Ruan Qigong, are you still alive?!"

Only after Su Fei removed the two iron bolts from the gate could the gate, which had been hacked to pieces and contained a corpse, be pushed open again.

Zhang Xuezhou shouted towards the smoke-filled ancestral hall.

This prompted some people in the ancestral hall to murmur softly.

"Who is Ruan Qigong?" Su Fei asked. "What do you want with him?"

He carried the iron blade, his gaze sweeping over the remaining living people in the ancestral hall.

If he doesn't take this opportunity to kill those who have been knocked unconscious by the poisonous smoke, his future won't be easy, and neither will the Four Heroes of Qingzhou.

It was inevitable that Su Fei would finish off the group of martial arts heroes, but he didn't expect that Zhang Xuezhou and the others had companions among them.

"The key is on him," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Don't kill the wrong person when you strike!"

Zhang Xuezhou called out twice more, then urged Jin Chang to find someone.

"That kid's definitely not completely dead," Jin Chang muttered. "After all, I told him to be careful."

He now particularly hated things like poisonous smoke that affected his balance. When Su Fei sprinkled water on his sleeve and covered his nostrils, he followed suit and did the same before entering the large shrine filled with corpses.

After searching everywhere, Jin Chang finally found Zhang Cigong, who had been Zhang Cigong -dead from being shot by crossbow bolts.
