Summary

San Quan Dao Ren and Lu Yu Tian stealthily advance towards the Si Hai Gang's treasury, seizing an opportunity while the gang is distracted by a conflict. San Quan Dao Ren, experienced from years of undercover work, guides Lu Yu Tian to the heavily restricted treasury. Lu Yu Tian uses a technique called Blood Stains the Sky to nullify the formation's defenses for a brief moment, allowing him to enter the vault filled with treasures, including a precious half stalk of an immortal herb. However, as he retrieves the herb, a tracking rune activates, alerting him to danger. San Quan Dao Ren betrays Lu Yu Tian, incapacitating him and seizing the immortal herb. As San Quan Dao Ren escapes, he is pursued by Cao Tie Niu, the vice leader of the Si Hai Gang. Meanwhile, Gu Xiu, who has been watching the events unfold, manages to take the herb unnoticed, setting off a chain of events that leads to further conflict and entanglement with other characters, including Tang Ping Er and Jiang Xun. The chapter concludes with a tense encounter between Tang Ping Er and Qin Mo Ran, hinting at future complications.
