Along the way, they also saw numerous white skulls.

Duan Gujin had a foreboding feeling early on; he knew that those skulls were most likely controlled by the Netherworld Dark Clan long ago.

While Lie Lei and the other elders' expressions drastically changed, their hearts filled with shock; they were fearful, unlike Duan Gujin who remained composed.

Together they advanced for about 15 minutes, when they noticed moving figures ahead.

"Everyone be careful!"

Duan Gujin immediately sent a message telling everyone to bend down, hold their breath, and prevent the figures ahead from sensing their life aura.

Lie Lei and the others deduced that those moving figures were probably zombies, and they did as instructed.

They understood that if they did not hold their breath and conceal their life aura, they would easily be detected by those zombies.

After a short moment, when those figures approached, everyone could see them clearly.

"Indeed! They are those zombies!"

Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, carefully examining those zombies.

After observing for a while, his brow furrowed tightly; he noticed these zombies were different from the ones he initially saw.

"These zombies I see now are far stronger than the ones I initially encountered! What's going on?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, sensing something fishy about the situation.

After a while, he saw that those zombies were wearing the attire of Netherworld Sect Disciples.

His eyes widened as he looked at the zombies again.

A moment later, he realized.

"I know what's going on now, it turns out that Netherworld Sect Disciples have turned into zombies! Those recently deceased Netherworld Sect Disciples still harbored strong Soul Power inside them, which makes them far stronger than those long-dead zombies!"

Duan Gujin counted and discovered that all over forty zombies ahead were once Netherworld Sect Disciples.

Lie Lei and the others also noticed the Netherworld Sect attire on those zombies, realizing that these zombies were once Netherworld Sect Disciples.

They all broke out in a cold sweat down their backs, not wanting to end up like those zombies.

Lie Lei knew he had to rely on Duan Gujin to tackle the problem posed by the Netherworld Dark Clan.

A thought flashed through his mind; he felt that only Duan Gujin could help the Qiankun Continent get rid of the calamity caused by the Netherworld Dark Clan.

It could even be said, he had to place all his hope in Duan Gujin.

"If Duan Gujin wasn't here this time, who knows how many of our Green Cloud Sect would perish!"

Lie Lei could see that not only was Duan Gujin extraordinarily talented, his experience was vast, totally unlike a young person.

"He's just at the Innate Fourth Realm now, yet he's already this formidable! I can't imagine what heights he can reach in the future!"

Lie Lei sent a message to the elders around him, instructing them to line up according to the sect's Combined Attack Formation.

Duan Gujin led Lie Lei and the others to avoid those zombies, and they continued onward.

Suddenly, a fluttering noise came from the sky.

Duan Gujin looked up, his expression drastically changing as his heart began to pound violently.

He saw at least a hundred crows in the sky.

"So many crows!"

The elders following him quickly noticed the presence of those crows too.

Lie Lei also saw the appearance of those crows, and like Duan Gujin, his face greatly changed.

He knew what those crows represented.

"Good heavens! Could it be that Jialuo Demon King has escaped from within?"

Duan Gujin and Lie Lei simultaneously had the same thought cross their minds, their first thought being that Jialuo Demon King must have escaped from the Sealing Array.

Previously, when Duan Gujin examined the Sealing Array, he knew it was no longer secure, and even if he wanted to repair it, it was impossible to do so.

Thus, now he had to accept the fact that Jialuo Demon King had escaped from inside the Sealing Array.

"Everyone, prepare for battle, Jialuo Demon King has escaped from the Sealing Array!"

Duan Gujin immediately said.

Lie Lei and the other elders, upon hearing this, knew that Jialuo Demon King must have really escaped from the Sealing Array.

Previously, Lie Lei had already informed the other elders about everything that had happened after he and Duan Gujin entered the ruins, so the other elders were aware of Jialuo Demon King.

"Keekeekeekee! I've been waiting for stars, waiting for the moon, and finally, I have awaited your arrival!"

Suddenly, an unpleasant voice sounded in the sky.

Upon hearing that voice, everyone present felt goosebumps all over their bodies, a sense of unexplainable fear arising within them.

They promptly circulated their Cultivation Techniques, expelling that fear from their bodies.

"Jialuo Demon King, I didn't expect you could escape from there, I underestimated you!"

Duan Gujin responded, knowing that he and Jialuo Demon King had completely torn their facades, aware that Jialuo Demon King must hate him.

As such, it could only be a deadly encounter between enemies, either you die or I perish.

"Heh heh, you merely killed one of my avatars before, my avatars are numerous enough to make you doubt life!" Jialuo Demon King coldly answered.

People present frowned upon hearing this.

"Oh no! Doesn't this mean we might not be able to find its true body?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, guessing that Jialuo Demon King might really have many avatars, but he doubted the combat power of those avatars.

"Jialuo Demon King can't possibly have recovered all his strength in such a short time, now might be the best time to strike!"

Having thought it over, Duan Gujin felt he could no longer hesitate.

Thus, he shouted loudly to the hundreds of crows in the sky: "Jialuo Demon King, your Netherworld Dark Clan has already been eradicated by the Human Clan on Tianyuan Continent, you are nothing but a lost dog now!"

"What? How is that possible?"

Jialuo Demon King, upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, immediately became extremely enraged.

Duan Gujin had previously recognized that the Sealing Array was the work of Tianyuan Continent, and he felt it was very likely that Jialuo Demon King was from Tianyuan Continent.

Now, hearing the other party's angry tone, he judged that Jialuo Demon King was likely associated with Tianyuan Continent.

He was deliberately provoking the other party, hoping Jialuo Demon King couldn't control his rage and would decide to battle him.

If Duan Gujin could engage Jialuo Demon King in battle when his strength was at its weakest, then his side would undoubtedly have a greater chance of victory.

"You people of the Human Clan deserve to die!"

The next moment, Jialuo Demon King truly became exceedingly angry.

Simultaneously, Duan Gujin and the others felt the ground beneath them starting to shake.

"Could it be an earthquake?"

Duan Gujin and the others' minds raced, wondering what precisely Jialuo Demon King was planning to do.

With continuous thunderous noises, Duan Gujin and the others saw massive, horrifying cracks appearing on the ground.
