"Hehe, City Lord Sun, you think too highly of me.

I'm the same as everyone else. How could I find the other four keys in such a short time?

I do have keys on me, but only two. "Ge smiled. With a flash of blood-red light, two blood-red keys appeared out of thin air.

Han Li's pupils shrank when he saw the two blood-red keys in Ge's hands.

Chen Yang's expression also changed slightly.

"In other words, there are only three keys. How do we open the door?" Sun Tu looked at Han Li and frowned.

Fu Jian and Qin Yuan glanced at each other before they turned to look at Elly.

"Don't worry, everyone. I've already gathered all the keys.

Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Li, now that we're at the entrance, take out your keys. "Eche chuckled and said to Chen Yang and Han Li.

When everyone heard this, they turned to look at Han Li and Chen Yang in alarm.

"Actually, even if City Lord E didn't mention it, I was going to take out my keys." Han Li said calmly, but his mind was racing.

From the sudden appearance of Er Ge and the fact that he led everyone here without saying a word, he already had some guesses in his heart.

Ge should have some method to know who had the keys. Perhaps it had something to do with the strange movement of his body when he approached the second key.

As he pondered, he took out two blood-red keys from his chest.

Chen Yang didn't find it strange that Han Li had two keys. With a flash of blood-red light, a blood-red key appeared in his hand.

"Fellow Chen, Fellow Li, so you have three keys in your hands.

I told you that City Lord E is really clever. Everything is going according to plan. "Sun Tu shook his head and said with a smile.

"The keys are of great importance. For safety's sake, Fellow Chen and Fellow Li will keep them for you." Chen Yang looked at Sun Tu apologetically, then cupped his hands and said to Ge.

"It's alright. The people from the Puppet City haven't appeared yet. It's normal to be careful." Ge waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for your understanding, City Lord E." Chen Yang said with a relieved expression.

"Since you've gathered all five keys, hurry up and open the door. Don't waste City Lord E's and everyone's time," Fu Jian harrumphed coldly, as if he was very disdainful of Chen Yang and Han Li.

"Wait a moment. Before we open the door, I have something to say." A voice rang out. It was Han Li.

"Li Feiyu, you're just a lowly Xuan gladiator slave of Qingyang City. Just hand over the key. You have no right to speak here!" Fu Jian frowned and sneered at Han Li's interruption.

"Hehe, Brother Li, feel free to speak your mind." Ge raised his hand to stop Fu Jian and said.

"Thank you for your generosity, City Governor E. I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just want to know how the treasures will be distributed after we enter the Forbidden Land." Han Li touched his nose and smiled.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

"Previously, the City Governor said that everyone will have a share of the treasures in the Forbidden Land. How about we distribute them according to the number of people?" Fu Jian said.

Han Li glanced at Fu Jian with a noncommittal smile.

"Brother Fu Jian, you didn't do anything along the way. You want to get the same amount of treasures as the City Governor? What a good plan." Shao Ying sneered.

"I didn't mean that!

I'm just suggesting a way to distribute the treasures. If Brother Shao thinks it's inappropriate, you can suggest it. "Fu Jian said angrily.

"It's all thanks to the City Governor that we're able to come here. Moreover, he has obtained two keys. He has the right to take half of the treasures in the Forbidden Land and we'll distribute the rest." Shao Ying said with a straight face.

"Brother Shao, are you saying that you want to distribute the treasures according to our contributions?

That's reasonable. The City Governor has guided us all the way and obtained two keys. It's indeed a great achievement. However, Brother Li has also obtained two keys. How much should he get?

I have a key with me. How much can I get? "Chen Yang looked at Shao Ying and asked.

"This …" Shao Ying was speechless.

"Ahem … The people who are able to gather here have different contributions. It's difficult to achieve absolute fairness whether it's according to the number of people or according to the contribution.

In my opinion, since all five cities are here, why don't we make it simpler and divide the treasures into ten parts. Xuan City will take three, Qingyang City will take two, and the remaining five will be divided equally among the three cities.

As for how each city will distribute the treasures, it's up to each city to decide. "Qin Yuan, who had been silent all this while, said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was startled and had a contemplative look on their faces.

"Brother Qin's words are reasonable. We might not be able to come up with a more reasonable solution even if we continue arguing. Let's just leave it at that." Chen Yang touched his chin and agreed.

Shi Chuankong, who was at the side, frowned slightly.

After entering the Jilin Spatial Realm, he had stayed in Qingyang City for a while, but was soon sent to Xuan City. It was really hard to say which city he belonged to.

"Brother Shi, don't worry. Although you haven't been in our Qingyang City for a long time, you're still considered one of us." Chen Yang's voice suddenly sounded in Shi Chuankong's ears.

Shi Chuankong's expression relaxed when he heard this, and he thanked him gratefully.

Fu Jian and Sun Tu were silent for a while, and then they nodded in approval.

Shao Ying seemed to be a little dissatisfied and was about to say something.

"Alright, Brother Qin's method of distribution is very reasonable. Let's divide it according to this method." Eggy suddenly said.

Shao Ying didn't say anything else after hearing Eggy's words, and they quickly came to an agreement.

The few of them then discussed the method of opening the door. According to Eggy, the method of opening the door was very simple. They only needed to insert five keys into the corresponding small holes on the door at the same time.

Eggy handed one of the keys in his hand to Shao Ying, and Han Li handed one to Sun Tu.

Soon, Eggy, Shao Ying, Chen Yang, Han Li, and Sun Tu each held a key and stood in front of the door.

"Let's do it!"

Eggy shouted softly, and inserted the key in his hand into the small hole marked with the word "Yinhua" at the top.

Shao Ying inserted the key into the God Shocking Hole on the top left, and Chen Yang inserted the Jade Phosphorus Hole on the top right.

Han Li inserted the Yesha Hole on the bottom left, and Sun Tu the Dim Radiance Hole.

All five keys were inserted into the stone door, and the entire stone door rumbled and trembled. The blood-colored patterns on the door all emitted bright blood-colored light, shining on everyone outside, causing them to squint their eyes.

At this moment, there was a sudden clicking sound inside the door, and the five keys were inserted into the small holes, disappearing without a trace.

Then, a sticky blood-colored light came out of the five holes at the same time, like ropes intertwining with each other, forming a huge blood-colored rune.

In the next moment, the blood-colored rune suddenly disappeared into the stone door.

All of the restriction patterns on the stone gate suddenly flashed before disappearing.

With a creak, the two doors slowly opened inwards, revealing a dark and spacious passageway.

"Let's go." Eggy's eyes flashed, and he walked through the door first.

The others looked at each other and followed suit.

Han Li pondered for a moment, then followed the crowd and stepped through the door.

As everyone stepped through the stone door, there was a loud rumbling sound behind them.

Amidst a loud grinding sound, the two stone doors slowly closed.

Under Eggy's lead, everyone walked into the depths of the passage. Soon, they arrived at a square, and it was pitch-black all around.

At this time, the dome above their heads began to light up one after another. It was as if the stars in the night sky were densely packed together, shining above everyone.

Han Li cast his gaze upward, only to be greeted by the sight of dazzling starlight overhead, as if there were a galaxy of stars hanging overhead. It really was as if he were standing in the middle of a wilderness at night, and there were bursts of star power fluctuations surging toward him like a tidal wave.

Then, a flame lit up from the two sides of the wall in the distance, and turned into two thick lines of fire that extended into the depths of the space, gradually revealing the surrounding scenery to everyone.

The area of the white stone square under everyone's feet was not big, and it was separated by a fence less than a thousand feet in front of them.

Han Li and the others made their way over to the railing, and only then did they discover that beyond the railing was a bottomless, inky-black abyss. There seemed to be dense mist swirling within the abyss, and gusts of chilly winds were blowing up from down below.

In the middle of the fence, there were three white stone arched bridges, about a hundred feet wide and a thousand feet long, stretching all the way to a huge white circular altar in the middle of the space.

The altar was huge, with a circumference of a thousand feet, surrounded by white fences, like a round lonely mountain, standing in the middle of the abyss.

Eggy led everyone through the middle of the stone arch bridge, and came to the altar.

As soon as they stepped on the altar, everyone's expression changed, and a touch of surprise flashed in their eyes. Suddenly, they all felt an unimaginably strong aura of flesh and blood.

Only then did Han Li notice that the sacrificial altar wasn't a flat stone platform. Instead, there was a pentagonal crater with a radius of around 1,000 feet at the center of the altar, and the bursts of flesh and blood aura were emanating from within that crater.

At each of the five corners of the pentagonal pit, there was a strange stone sculpture of a black-scaled beast. Its body was like a toad, and it was extremely fat. It had a pair of wings on its back, and it looked like it was about to take flight. Its neck was somewhat disproportionately slender, and in front of it hung a huge head that looked like a lizard, poking into the top of the pit.

Han Li looked at the five black strange beast stone sculptures, and frowned slightly, his eyes full of vigilance, as if he was afraid that these guys would suddenly turn into living creatures.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and only when they saw Eggy walk to the edge of the pentagonal pit, did they follow. They stood behind the fence, and looked down into the pit.

Han Li frowned, and saw that there was a huge sacrificial blood pool in the pit, and a huge amount of dark red blood was rising and falling like the tide, and there was a thick layer of blood mist above it, and a thin layer of blood-red smoke floated.

However, no matter how the blood waves below surged, and how the mist above surged, it always rose in the pit, and would not overflow at all.

What was even more surprising to Han Li was that he could vaguely make out a series of translucent white bones peeking out from within the waves of blood. Some of them resembled the massive horns of some type of mutant beast, while others resembled their skeletal skulls, and all of them possessed an extremely powerful flesh and blood aura.
