"If the Jialuo Demon King relies on devouring the bodies of these Netherworld Sect Disciples to quickly restore strength, then such a rapid recovery can only be effective for a short while and cannot last for long. Moreover, it would require a sufficiently large number of Netherworld Sect Disciples for the Jialuo Demon King to consume."

Duan Gujin thought for a while and felt that unless the Jialuo Demon King had taken control of the higher-ups of the Netherworld Sect, and then used those leaders to send Netherworld Sect Disciples into this place, providing him with energy to absorb.

"That's the only possibility!"

The more Duan Gujin thought about it, the more horrified he became, and the more he wanted to eliminate the Jialuo Demon King quickly.

"Where exactly is the true body of the Jialuo Demon King? Could it be this huge rock up ahead?"

Duan Gujin told Lie Lei and the others to carefully search for the actual hiding place of the Jialuo Demon King.

Lie Lei and the others immediately understood; they knew that only by finding the true body of the Jialuo Demon King sooner could they defeat him.

Therefore, they extended their Divine Sense, trying hard to locate the possible hiding places of the Jialuo Demon King.

"You guys focus on attacking the Jialuo Demon King, and I will closely observe the nearby situation."

Duan Gujin had Lie Lei and the others first use kerosene and other methods to drain the physical strength of the Jialuo Demon King, while he used the Evil Eye to search for possible hiding places of the Jialuo Demon King.

After a while, Duan Gujin saw a damaged Stele appear in a clearing.

He focused his Divine Sense tightly on that damaged Stele, recalling the scenario when he entered this place, and he had not seen a stele here before.

"It seems that Stele is suspicious!"

Duan Gujin locked his Divine Sense onto the damaged Stele, his brow furrowed, and a dangerous premonition flashed through his mind.

"That Stele really is suspicious!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he released the Divine Sense lock from that Stele, not wanting to draw the attention of the Jialuo Demon King.

He took a deep breath and quickly swallowed some Elixir Pills, wanting to restore some physical strength.

Just then, Lie Lei led a group of elders in launching a fierce attack against the approaching zombies.

"I hope my guess is right!"

After taking a deep breath and restoring some physical strength, Duan Gu's figure flashed and turned into an afterimage, disappearing into the Void.

Lie Lei and the others knew that Duan Gujin must be taking action, so they intensified their attack on the zombies.

The sound of rumbling explosions was non-stop.

Though there were many zombies, under the combined attack of Lie Lei and the others, they broke ranks and were quickly turned to ash.

A moment later, Lie Lei and the others heard an explosion sound from the Void ahead, guessing that Duan Gujin must have made a move.

Their Divine Sense looked around, quickly locating Duan Gujin.

They saw Duan Gu Jinzhao attacking a damaged Stele and realized that he was striking at that Stele.

They did not know why Duan Gujin targeted that damaged Stele, widened their eyes in anticipation, and readied themselves to join the battle at any moment.

While Lie Lei and the others were perplexed, the next moment, they heard an extremely mournful scream coming from inside the Stele.

"You, how did you discover me?"

The Jialuo Demon King's scream was so chilling that it made their flesh crawl.

Lie Lei and the others widened their eyes towards the damaged Stele and saw black liquid oozing out from it.

They were shocked, guessing that Duan Gujin must have seen through the Stele as the hiding place of the Jialuo Demon King.

Therefore, Duan Gujin covertly struck the damaged Stele, hitting the Jialuo Demon King's vital spot, causing him to be severely injured.

Duan Gujin quickly shouted loudly: "Everyone, come over here! Use all your treasures to attack this place! Strike him down while he's weak!"

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Lie Lei and the elders rushed over without any hesitation, speeding towards Duan Gu Jinzhao, and they launched their fiercest attacks at the broken Stele.

When the kerosene splashed onto the black liquid emitted by the damaged stele, it ignited into a raging fire.

The flames were extremely fierce, and it seemed they wouldn't be extinguished for a while.

Duan Gujin knew that Jialuo Demon King deeply feared flames, so he quickly instructed all the elders with him to pour all the kerosene they were carrying onto the stele, completely burning the Demon King's Body.

"I hate this!"

Jialuo Demon King let out a series of piercing screams, feeling extremely unwilling in its heart.

If it hadn't been discovered by Duan Gujin and the others, as long as it could continue to endure here for three more days, then it would have been able to fully recover its strength.

Once it recovered its strength, it could break the complete Sealing of the Sealing Stele on it.

But now, it knew that without any accidents, it was truly finished.

The fire kept burning fiercely, and soon the Jialuo Demon King, which had not recovered much strength, was burned to ashes.

By the time Jialuo Demon King truly died, the Rule Power surrounding it was rapidly disappearing.

Within less than 15 minutes, the thick fog that pervaded the entire ruins disappeared completely, along with the aura and Rule Power within the ruins.

This place had become no different from the outside.

"Ha ha, this is fantastic, we have finally succeeded!"

As Lie Lei and the others felt the disappearance of the Rule Power around them, they knew they had truly succeeded in eliminating the Jialuo Demon King.

Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brow as he sensed a figure swiftly moving through a crack in the ground beneath his feet.

"Something's wrong!"

Almost at the same time, Lie Lei and the others beside him also sensed the presence of that figure.

Just when everyone was ready to go down to intercept the figure, it suddenly disappeared in the Void.

At this, everyone's mood turned to disappointment.

"No way? Did we let that Jialuo Demon King escape just like that?"

An elder spoke out in dissatisfaction on the spot.

Duan Gujin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, saying, "We truly did eliminate that Jialuo Demon King; I'm certain that the Qi emanating from that figure just now was not that of the Jialuo Demon King."

"Then if it's not the Demon King, who could it be?"

Another elder asked.

Duan Gujin shook his head slightly and said, "I really don't know about that; the figure that fled just now moved at a great speed, as if using some kind of Escape Technique! I sensed a strong spatial fluctuation in the nearby Void just now."

Lie Lei immediately said, "I also sensed the spatial fluctuation just now, and I think that figure must have used some kind of Escape Technique!"

The figure disappeared too quickly, its appearance suddenly made the previously elated crowd feel a wave of dejection.

"So close to success, yet so far!"

Many people thought the same thing in their hearts.

The speed at which the figure fled was too fast; they could not capture who it was, and they were even less able to predict how the master of that figure would treat them in the future.

It's easy to defend against a clear threat, but hard against a hidden one!

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he immediately said to the others, "Everyone, spread out and see if there are any clues here!"

"Yes! Yes! Everyone disperse and start searching to see if there are any clues here."

Lie Lei immediately agreed with Duan Gujin's suggestion. Their small team of more than thirty people quickly split into six groups, dispersing in different directions, each looking for clues.

If they encountered a formidable enemy, they would immediately return to their current location and face the enemy together.
