Two days later, Zhu Ge Hongyun and Lie Lei found Duan Gujin.

They told Duan Gujin that they had reached the outside of the ruins and had not seen anyone from the Netherworld Sect.

They searched around the ruins for a while and did not find any traces of the Netherworld Sect. After discussing, they concluded that other elders should be left in charge of guarding the outside of the ruins.

"We are certain that there is a traitor from the Netherworld Sect within the Green Cloud Sect!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun lamented.

Duan Gujin sneered internally; he had previously guessed that there must be a traitor from the Netherworld Sect within the Green Cloud Sect.

Previously, when Zhu Ge Hongyun consulted him about strategies, he had advised Zhu Ge Hongyun to lead the elders to the Netherworld Dark Clan ruins and be cautious of a traitor.

Initially, Zhu Ge Hongyun thought Duan Gujin was overly suspicious, but now he realized that Duan Gujin's previous concerns had come true.

Indeed, there was a traitor from the Netherworld Sect within the Green Cloud Sect, and that traitor was one of the internal elders, which was shocking to Zhu Ge Hongyun.

Seeing Zhu Ge Hongyun's reaction, Duan Gujin knew that this was the first time he had learned of the traitor within the Green Cloud Sect.

"It seems Zhu Ge Hongyun has been too careless!"

Duan Gujin thought to himself.

Duan Gujin had guessed such an outcome early on and had previously warned Zhu Ge Hongyun.

Meeting Duan Gujin again, Zhu Ge Hongyun finally realized that the Green Cloud Sect had been infiltrated by the Netherworld Sect.

How to find out who the traitor is, Duan Gujin might not be able to find out.

"I understand, if I want to find the traitor, I can only rely on myself!" Zhu Ge Hongyun sighed.

"Right! I think the Netherworld Sect sent traitors to infiltrate the Green Cloud Sect long ago, how many they sent is something only you, the Sect Master, can investigate,"

Duan Gujin nodded lightly.

"Right!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun exhaled a breath of turbid air, his mind racing as he considered how to uncover the traitor.

After a while, he bid farewell to Duan Gujin and returned to the sect, immediately finding Lie Lei, and they discussed how to search for the traitor.

After seeing the Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect leave, Duan Gujin returned to his residence.

In his previous life, he did not know much about the details of the destruction of the Green Cloud Sect; he only knew some rumors afterward.

In his previous life, after the Green Cloud Sect was destroyed, it was completely removed from the Qiankun Continent.

Meanwhile, in the Alchemy Secret Room, Duan Gujin was forging some special Dark Weapons.

He was currently busy crafting a Sealing Treasure; although this Sealing Treasure could not seal the Jialuo Demon King trapped in the Sealing Array, it could significantly weaken the demon's Combat Power in a short period of time.

Duan Gujin couldn't be sure if the Jialuo Demon King would become a calamity, so he needed to make many preparations beforehand.

He had a premonition that the Netherworld Dark Clan ruins would sooner or later be problematic.

Indeed, a day later, Lie Lei hurriedly came and told Duan Gujin that there had been a violent explosion at the Netherworld Dark Clan ruins.

Hearing this news, Duan Gujin took a sharp intake of cold air, his eyes flickering, guessing that the situation had developed in a direction beyond his imagination.

"Do you know who did it?" Duan Gujin quickly asked.

"Who else but the Netherworld Sect. They brought a lot of kerosene, first tricking our people away, then their people rushed into the ruins and set the kerosene on fire, and then the entire ruins exploded violently! Do you think the Jialuo Demon King could escape from there?" Lie Lei asked nervously.

"I really don't know about that, we need to hurry there now!" Duan Gujin's expression changed drastically, the current situation was not progressing as he had anticipated, he wasn't sure what to do now.

Under the lead of Lie Lei, a day later, they arrived at the outer edge of the ruins.

At this time, what was displayed before him was a scene of ruins, completely unlike before.

Lie Lei first found the Green Cloud Sect elders stationed nearby, inquiring about the recent situation.

After knowing the recent situation from those elders, Lie Lei reported it to Duan Gujin.

After listening, Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He extended his Divine Sense and immediately sensed an eerily cold aura surrounding them; his eyes flickered as he recognized what this aura was.

"Unexpectedly, the aura of the Ghost World is present here!"

He chose not to share his perception with Lie Lei, fearing it might instill panic in him.

After a while, Lie Lei turned to Duan Gujin and asked, "Duan Gujin, do you feel it's particularly cold here?"

"I do feel it!"

Duan Gujin replied honestly, thinking to himself it was no surprise it felt cold here, as they were enveloped by the aura of the Ghost World.

"How could the aura of the Ghost World be here?"

The shock in Duan Gujin's heart could only be imagined.

He had visited other continents before and knew that some continents were quite close to the Ghost World.

If a place was near the Ghost World, the Primordial Power there would become extremely scarce, and the temperature would drop significantly.

Ordinary people staying in the Ghost World for too long could fall ill due to the penetrating cold energy.

What puzzled Duan Gujin the most was why there was such a strong presence of the Ghost World's aura here.

"What is going on here?"

With a flash in his eyes, Duan Gujin said to Lie Lei, "We should enter the ruins and investigate further now!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Lie Lei quickly nodded, a thought crossing his mind.

"Do you think the Jialuo Demon King might have escaped from inside?"

He asked cautiously.

"It's possible!"

Duan Gujin couldn't be certain either.

Lie Lei then gathered more than thirty elders nearby, instructing them to follow behind him as they moved forward.

They advanced into the depths of the ruins for about 15 minutes, during which Duan Gujin spotted a peculiar skull on the ground.

He picked up the skull to examine it closely, only to discover it was likely the skull of some Lizard Demon Beast.

When he used his Divine Sense to peer inside the skull, he found absolutely no energy fluctuations within.

"Usually, the skulls of Demon Beasts exhibit some residual energy fluctuations, but why does this skull have none? Could the energy inside have been devoured?"

Duan Gujin knew that on other continents, there were some wicked Demon Cultivators who loved using Demon Beast skulls for cruel experiments.

"What skull is this?"

Lie Lei inquired curiously.

Duan Gujin proceeded to share everything he knew with Lie Lei.

Upon hearing this, Lie Lei immediately gasped in shock.

They continued advancing for a while, and the next moment, they saw many skulls in a pond ahead, densely packed—enough to send shivers down their spine.

"Fortunately, these skulls are not from the Human Clan!"

Lie Lei remarked, relieved.

Duan Gujin exhaled deeply and told Sect Master Lie, "Some demons prefer using dead Demon Beast skulls for experiments, and they also like experimenting on living human bodies."

Hearing this, Lie Lei's heart skipped a beat, realizing his previous statement was ill-considered.

"What kind of demons are these?" he asked, becoming somewhat frightened.

"It's hard to say, but we must be extremely cautious!"

Lie Lei immediately issued orders, instructing the elders around him to stay on guard and prevent any demons from approaching.
