That was a middle-aged man who took the Evil Eye from Duan Gujin and examined it carefully for a moment.
After confirming that the Evil Eye was indeed the eyeball of some kind of demon, the middle-aged man then placed the Evil Eye into the eye socket of the Ghost Mask.
He compared it and judged that the Evil Eye was a perfect match for the Ghost Mask.
"Now, my friend, may I ask if you know what kind of demon this monster really is?"
The middle-aged man became interested immediately.
Duan Gujin said, "Please prepare a piece of paper, ink, and a brush, and I will draw it for you right away!"
"Okay!"
The middle-aged man waved his right hand and called over an attendant.
After taking the instructions from the middle-aged man, the attendant hurried off to prepare paper, ink, and a brush.
Moments later, the attendant rushed back and placed the paper, ink, and brush on a table, then asked Duan Gujin to come over and draw.
Without hesitation, Duan Gujin stepped forward to draw.
After a while, he drew the Netherworld Dark Clan on the paper.
"This is a legendary demon called the Netherworld Dark Clan. They naturally crave human flesh and are truly a dangerous breed of demon. If you encounter them, you must stay away!"
Duan Gujin pointed at the image of the Netherworld Dark Clan and told the middle-aged man.
"Oh!"
The middle-aged man responded expressionlessly.
Duan Gujin saw a flicker of panic crossing the middle-aged man's face and surmised that the man was probably not aware earlier of the dangers of the Netherworld Dark Clan.
Now, having heard about the terror of the Netherworld Dark Clan from Duan Gujin, the middle-aged man realized how horrifying they actually were.
"So, how did you come to know about this Netherworld Dark Clan?"
The middle-aged man immediately thought of something. Even the elders of the Star Pill Association did not know what the Netherworld Dark Clan was, so how did this young man know about them?
With a glint in his eyes, Duan Gujin said, "I am a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect. The Netherworld Dark Clan have appeared only recently. It is said that the Netherworld Sect found their ruins. Once our people discovered that place was the ruins of the Netherworld Dark Clan, they delved in to investigate!"
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the middle-aged man simply nodded and acknowledged.
He had previously heard about the appearance of an unknown demon ruins in the Tianluo Plain. When the Star Pill Association wanted to investigate, they found that the place was enveloped by a bizarre energy.
After multiple attempts by the Star Pill Association to charge into the ruins and investigate, they all ended up in failure.
"Could this mask be related to that unidentified demon ruins appeared on the Tianluo Plain?"
The middle-aged man quickly made the connection.
"Yes, did you not know that this mask is related to that unidentified demon ruins?"
Duan Gujin countered.
He pondered a question – if this middle-aged man truly was an accomplice of Han Zhanyi, how could he not know that the mask originated from those ruins?
"I really didn't know!"
The middle-aged man replied with certainty.
Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath: "Then let me tell you seriously, you must not touch anything inside that ruin. If you have obtained anything from there, please seal it up immediately. The Netherworld Dark Clan is extremely dangerous; they are natural enemies of the Human Clan, existing with the sole purpose of annihilating the Human Clan! I believe you wouldn't want such terrifying demons to emerge on the Qiankun Continent. If they appear, it would be a catastrophe for all the Human Clan on the Qiankun Continent! If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate for you. Watch closely!"
With a shift of his mind, Duan Gujin immediately started to control the Evil Eye.
After a while, a terrifying presence radiated from the Ghost Mask.
Everyone present felt their Divine Souls tremble instantaneously, their eyes widening as they focused intently on the Ghost Mask – especially the ordinary attendants who were not far from the mask.
Their Divine Souls were instantly controlled by the power that the Ghost Mask emitted. Their eyes became glazed over, unable to control their Divine Souls and bodies.
Soon, those Martial Artists who were farther from the Ghost Mask noticed the abnormal behavior of the attendants. Their expressions drastically changed as they swiftly circulated their Primordial Power, resisting the power emanating from the Ghost Mask.
At this time, the Ghost Mask was already floating in the air, with the Evil Eye in the eye socket emitting a sinister red glow.
"Good heavens!"
Some frightened attendants were scared to the point of losing control of their bodily functions; they lay on the ground, shivering uncontrollably.
"Stop it right now! Otherwise, we will attack!"
At this moment, some of the elders of the Star Pill Association still managed to keep a clear head, their strength being far superior to that of the ordinary attendants.
Thus, while the ordinary attendants were frightened by the power emitted by the Ghost Mask, the elders were only stunned momentarily before getting back to normal.
"Alright!"
Sensing the presence of over a dozen figures with at least Martial Master Realm cultivation coming closer, Duan Gujin realized that the Star Pill Association had arranged many experts for this auction. He did not want to provoke so many experts at once.
Therefore, he immediately withdrew the Evil Eye.
Once he withdrew the Evil Eye, the terrifying presence that the Ghost Mask emitted vanished instantly.
The attendants who had been scared out of their wits finally came to their senses, and seeing themselves covered in filth, they hastily ran off to clean up.
Duan Gujin looked at the middle-aged man from the Star Pill Association and said, "Now, you should believe what I just said, right? I only possess cultivation at the Innate Realm, and the strength of those Netherworld Dark Clansmen is far greater than mine. You can imagine how terrifying that scene was!"
The elders of the Star Pill Association, hearing what Duan Gujin said, were sweating bullets the size of soybeans on their foreheads, having personally experienced just how fearsome the power released by the Ghost Mask was.
They could imagine that if the Netherworld Dark Clan attacked them, they would likely stand no chance.
Upon seeing Duan Gujin's display of power, Lie Lei promptly followed suit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please believe the words of our Green Cloud Sect. I am the Deputy Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect, Lie Lei!"
Lie Lei felt that the elders of the Star Pill Association might not necessarily believe Duan Gujin's words, so he hurriedly declared his identity.
A person's reputation precedes them!
If Duan Gujin were just some young man with no status, some people might still be skeptical, even though they had been truly scared by the terrifying presence emitted by the Ghost Mask.
But now, with the appearance of Lie Lei, the Deputy Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect vouching for Duan Gujin, their doubts began to fade.
