Open up and break into another world

A day later, the solitary figure of Lord Gu Ao once again graced the entrance of the garrison's treasure vault.

“Lord Gu Ao, you're here again!” The whiskered cultivator was extremely jealous of Xu Yang's reward. Now that Lord Gu Ao was here “again,” he naturally had to seize the opportunity.

“Again?” Lord Gu Ao looked slightly puzzled, but didn't think too much about it, assuming it was a slip of the tongue. “Open the treasure vault door!”

“Huh?” The whiskered cultivator was taken aback. “Open it again?”

Displeasure flickered across Lord Gu Ao's face: “What do you mean ‘again’?”

The whiskered cultivator was somewhat bewildered: “Lord Gu Ao, didn't you just enter the treasure vault yesterday?”

“What!?” Lord Gu Ao's eyes widened suddenly. “Who just entered the treasure vault yesterday?”

“You… You did!” The whiskered cultivator said tremulously.

“Me!?” Lord Gu Ao instantly abandoned his usual cold indifference. “I entered my ass!”

Gu Ao wasn't stupid; he immediately thought: “I know! I know! It must be that person disguised as Xiao Shengtian. He's disguised as me again!”

“Damn it!”

Gu Ao was furious.

But the problem was, he didn't even know the true face of the imposter!

“Damn, the treasure vault!” Gu Ao immediately thought—what would the imposter do entering the treasure vault? It goes without saying, he was going in to move things out!

“Open the door quickly!!!” Gu Ao urged anxiously.

In fact, even without opening the door, he already knew that the treasure vault was likely already emptied. But unless he saw it with his own eyes, he wouldn't give up!

Gu Ao gnashed his teeth in hatred: “If I catch you, no matter what power you come from, I will make you wish you were dead!”

“Open the door! What are you two standing there for?”

“Yes! Yes!” The whiskered cultivator hurriedly began searching for the keys.

Opening the door required the two keys held by the two treasure vault guards, as well as their secret technique—that is, the password.

But just at this moment—

“Wait!” Xu Yang, who had been silent all along, suddenly called out.

“Xu Yang, what do you mean!?” Gu Ao's gaze turned cold. He was already in a bad mood, and this little brother actually dared to contradict him.

“Lord Gu Ao!” Xu Yang said seriously, “But how am I supposed to know if you are the real Lord Gu Ao, or a fake Lord Gu Ao?”

“Nonsense, of course I'm real!” Gu Ao snapped.

“Can you prove it then?” Xu Yang—that is, Xu Ming—feigned a look of courage. “If you are a fake Lord Gu Ao, and we open the treasure vault door for you, wouldn't the consequences be…”

“Then what do you want me to do to prove it!?” Gu Ao actually had many ways to prove his identity, but he was so angry that he asked this question.

Xu Yang said “loyally”: “There are countless treasures in the treasure vault. If you are a fake Lord Gu Ao, then after you go in, you will definitely sweep the treasures clean! So, I have a way—you first hand over your storage ring to me!”

“What!?” Gu Ao almost thought he had heard wrong—this stupid little brother actually dared to ask him to hand over his storage ring!?

However, the stupid little brother in Gu Ao's eyes was still babbling on, and what he was saying… seemed quite logical.

“After opening the door, if all the treasures in the treasure vault are still there, then that means that yesterday's Lord Gu Ao was real, and you are fake! Then, at that time, I will crush the storage ring, and jade and stone will be destroyed together!” Xu Yang looked fearless, “And if you are real, then your storage ring will be properly taken care of in my hands!”

“That makes a lot of sense!” Gu Ao actually took off his storage ring, and sneered, “But… you dare to take care of my storage ring?—If you think you dare, then go ahead and take it!”

As he spoke, Gu Ao provocatively tossed the storage ring.

And what he was thinking in his heart was: “If this stupid little brother dares to touch my storage ring, I will definitely slap him to death!”

However…

What Gu Ao didn't expect was that just as he tossed the storage ring, “Xu Yang” actually moved! Not slowly walking over, but—charging over!

Boom!!

“Xu Yang” erupted directly!

“This…” Gu Ao's face changed drastically, and he suddenly thought of something, but it was too late!

Bang!!

“Xu Yang” erupted without warning, actually kicking Gu Ao away; at the same time, the storage ring that Gu Ao had just tossed up to play with was also grabbed by “Xu Yang.”

How could Gu Ao have ever imagined that he would encounter such a scene even when casually tossing a storage ring, and he couldn't help but fly into a rage: “Shameless imposter, return my storage ring!”

Gu Ao even used his mental power to control the storage ring, wanting to take it back.

But now that the storage ring had fallen into Xu Ming's hands, how could it be so easily taken back?

“Scram!” Xu Ming forcibly erased the mental imprint on the storage ring.

“I… I…” Gu Ao didn't know what to say.

To have his storage ring snatched away was simply a great humiliation!

Gu Ao even felt that what was snatched away from him was not the storage ring, but… his IQ!

He felt that he was just a fool!

A fool being played with!

“You… who exactly are you?”

“Hehe, want to know who I am?” Xu Ming chuckled, “I just won't let you know, to make you angry!—I'm leaving, I'm not playing with you anymore!”

As he spoke, Xu Ming flashed and directly fled into the distance.

Gu Ao was instantly dumbfounded—he snatched my storage ring and ran!?!

“Want to run!?” Gu Ao immediately recovered and chased after him, “Last time, I wasn't careful and let you run away with a teleportation treasure; this time, if you have the ability, take out another teleportation treasure!”

Teleportation treasures were incomparably precious; Gu Ao didn't believe that the other party could have two!

Moreover, if the other party really had two, then it could basically prove that—he was a member of a Heavenly-Rank power!

“Teleportation treasure?” Xu Ming thought to himself, “It seems that my disappearance last time using ‘Absolute Stealth’ was mistaken by this fool as using a teleportation treasure… then let him misunderstand!”

Xu Ming was happy for others to have all sorts of misunderstandings about him; in this way, his trump cards would not be easily exposed.

When you're wandering the pugilistic world, the more hidden trump cards you have, the safer you naturally are.

“Shameless imposter, stop right there!!!!” Gu Ao tried his best to chase, but he tragically discovered that the distance between him and “Xu Yang” was constantly increasing.

“Stop?” Xu Ming laughed ahead, “If you still had a storage ring on you, then I might really consider stopping!”

Gu Ao's face was livid; he knew that the other party was deliberately mocking him.

“Hmph! Arrogant imposter, since you dare to appear in front of me, do you think you can escape just by running fast?” A sneer appeared on Gu Ao's face, “If you still have a teleportation treasure, then you still have a chance to escape; if you don't, then just surrender!—Garrison Formation, activate!!!!”

Gu Ao possessed the authority to control the garrison formation!
