Some elders from the Star Pill Association recognized Lie Lei and quickly sent messages to inform the other elders.

Soon, the elders of the Star Pill Association began to believe the words of Duan Gujin.

They had indeed sensed how terrifying the aura emanating from the Ghost Mask was, but there were still some doubts, as they couldn't possibly fully believe what Duan Gujin said right away.

Now that the Deputy Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect, Lie Lei, had come forward to testify, they decided to trust Duan Gujin immediately; they believed that the Green Cloud Sect would not deceive the Star Pill Association.

"Both of you, please come to the meeting room and speak with us; we want to know more about the truth!"

The middle-aged man immediately revealed a smile, inviting Duan Gujin and Lie Lei to enter their meeting room.

"Alright!"

Duan Gujin and Lie Lei followed the middle-aged man into their meeting room.

Inside the meeting room, the middle-aged man said to Lie Lei, "I never expected that the Deputy Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect would visit the Star Pill Association. We are truly honored by your presence!"

"Don't mention it! Our trip to the Star Pill Association was simply to purchase some Spiritual Medicine. However, we didn't expect that we would see something from the Netherworld Dark Clan at the Star Pill Association's auction. I earnestly advise the Star Pill Association here: Do not touch anything from the Netherworld Dark Clan. They are evil entities! If you obtain something from the Netherworld Dark Clan, it might influence your personality later on! You really need to be very careful with items from the Netherworld Dark Clan!"

"So, what do you think we should do with that mask?" The middle-aged man seemed a bit anxious.

Duan Gujin said, "Please seal that mask!"

"Indeed! Please seal that mask! Since the mask contains an evil nature, you absolutely cannot let it fall into the wrong hands!"

Lie Lei added.

"Understood! We at the Star Pill Association know what to do! Both of you made the most accurate description of the mask today; this is the reward from our Star Pill Association. Please, young man, accept it!"

The middle-aged man handed a bag over to Duan Gujin.

"Alright! I won't be overly courteous!"

Inside the bag that Duan Gujin received was Gold Coin, but he didn't care about the one hundred thousand Gold Coins at all. His only wish was to stop the Star Pill Association from dealing in items from the Netherworld Dark Clan.

His eyes twinkled, and he then said to the middle-aged man, "My friend, it's very probable that many more items from the Netherworld Dark Clan will enter the Qiankun Continent soon, and you must find a way to prevent the spread of these dark forces on the Qiankun Continent! The ruins on the Tianluo Plain are actually a Sealing Array, within which an Ancient Era Great Demon King is sealed! Now that the ruins are damaged, our Green Cloud Sect doesn't know whether that Great Demon King is dead or alive, nor do we know if any of his accomplices have escaped. Therefore, the Star Pill Association must be extremely cautious of that Netherworld Dark Clan Great Demon King and his accomplices in the future!"

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the middle-aged man immediately gasped, astonished that there was a tale involving a Great Demon King behind the Ghost Mask.

"It appears the Green Cloud Sect knows a lot about this matter, while our Star Pill Association is completely unaware of that ruin! It seems I need to extract more information from them!"

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he immediately started a conversation with Lie Lei and Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin depicted a very horrifying image of the Netherworld Dark Clan, instilling a sudden fear in the middle-aged man.

"Good heavens! So the Netherworld Dark Clan is that terrifying! If the Netherworld Dark Clan appears on the Qiankun Continent, all the people of the continent would become food for them!"

Thinking of how the Netherworld Dark Clan relish devouring the Human Clan, the middle-aged man knew they were definitely the sworn enemy of the Human Clan.

"What can we do to stop those Netherworld Dark Clan?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly asked.

"If you discover anything related to the Netherworld Dark Clan, seal it! If you find someone with an aura similar to the Netherworld Dark Clan, either kill that person or take control of them! However, under normal circumstances, I advise you to eliminate that person because the Netherworld Dark Clan possesses a terrifying innate ability. They can control the spirit of humans and occupy the bodies of the Human Clan!"

Duan Gujin informed the middle-aged man of the characteristics of the Netherworld Dark Clan, aiming merely to draw the attention of the leadership of the Star Pill Association.

He didn't know what kind of dealings Han Zhanyi had with the Star Pill Association, nor did he know who within the Star Pill Association was colluding with Han Zhanyi.

Thus, he intentionally depicted the Netherworld Dark Clan as extremely terrifying, wanting to incite panic among the high-ranking members of the Star Pill Association, urging them to keep away from anything related to the Netherworld Dark Clan.

Only in this manner could he instill fear in those within the Star Pill Association who were colluding with Han Zhanyi, letting them know that collaborating with Han Zhanyi was akin to siding with the mortal enemy of the Human Clan.

Only in this manner would he have the chance to sow discord between Han Zhanyi and certain people within the Star Pill Association.

"Yes, my friend from the Star Pill Association, this matter is true! Our Green Cloud Sect is now doing everything possible to hunt down the escaped Jialuo Demon King. You can be privy to this news, but you absolutely must not leak this information, to avoid causing panic across the Qiankun Continent! If someone asks, you can publicly announce that a demon has appeared on the Tianluo Plain!"

Lie Lei earnestly cautioned.

Seeing Lie Lei, the Deputy Sect Master of the mighty Green Cloud Sect, issuing such a grave warning, the middle-aged man immediately realized that the escape of Jialuo Demon King from the Sealing Array on Tianluo Plain was indeed genuine.

"My God! If we encounter the Jialuo Demon King, how should we deal with him?"

The middle-aged man quickly calmed himself and inquired about the means to handle the Netherworld Dark Clan from Lie Lei.

"The Netherworld Dark Clan has one very fatal weakness; they cannot be exposed to sunlight for extended periods. This mask is actually their weapon. They can use this mask to stay exposed to the sun and, like I just demonstrated, can activate the energy within this mask to affect the Divine Souls of the Human Clan!"

Duan Gujin immediately shared the vulnerability of the Netherworld Dark Clan with the middle-aged man. As for how the Star Pill Association would later identify the traitor, that was a matter for the Star Pill Association.

Hearing that these Netherworld Dark Clan have a fatal weakness in sunlight, the middle-aged man exhaled in relief.

His mind spun rapidly as he connected all Duan Gujin's words, analyzing them bit by bit.

After pondering for a while, he felt he had a comprehensive understanding of the Netherworld Dark Clan.

"On behalf of the Star Pill Association, I thank both of you for providing this information!"

The middle-aged man bowed his thanks.

Lie Lei promptly replied, "Please encourage the people of the Star Pill Association to put more effort into eradicating the Jialuo Demon King and its cohorts! Although our Green Cloud Sect is strong, with the Jialuo Demon King and its cohorts lurking in the Qiankun Continent, relying solely on the strength of our Green Cloud Sect makes it very difficult to find them and eradicate them completely. Should any escape, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Duan Gujin said this precisely to frame Han Zhanyi.

Should Han Zhanyi once again appear in the Star Pill Association in possession of items from the Netherworld Dark Clan, the upper echelon of the Star Pill Association would likely suspect him to be an accomplice of the Jialuo Demon King.

If this were to happen, Duan Gujin would then leverage the might of the Star Pill Association to eliminate Han Zhanyi.
