After Lie Lei returned, he relayed his conversation with Shi Wuxie to Duan Gujin.

"What should we do next?" Lie Lei inquired.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he said, "We'll now roam around and see if we can find anyone from the Netherworld Sect!"

"Good!"

There was a sudden excitement in Lie Lei's eyes. He surmised that the dark cloud previously seen in the sky was likely related to the Netherworld Sect.

If they really managed to find someone from the Netherworld Sect and extracted valuable information from them personally,

then, without a doubt, the Star Pill Association would pledge allegiance to the Green Cloud Sect next.

"Should we scatter and act on our own, or should we move together?"

Lie Lei asked.

"Together!"

Duan Gujin replied, feeling apprehensive about encountering high-level experts from the Netherworld Sect.

If he indeed encountered a high-level expert from the Netherworld Sect, he was certain he wouldn't stand a chance.

He suspected that if the Netherworld Sect really was connected with those behind the Nine Nether Dark Sea artifact, the sect would surely send someone to secretly observe the extent of damage inflicted on the Star Pill Association after releasing the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

Duan Gujin unleashed the Evil Eye, and with its fearsome Divine Sense Detection Ability, his range of Divine Sense Inspection extended even further than Lie Lei's vision.

As time ticked by, fifteen minutes later, Duan Gujin had locked on to a very well-hidden individual.

He noticed this person was always secretly observing the current state of the Star Pill Association; despite appearing quite normal in his behavior, Duan Gujin still spotted a few unusual traits.

"As soon as the person sensed my Divine Sense Inspection, he immediately retracted and disguised himself as an ordinary person!"

Duan Gujin quickly informed Lie Lei through a voice transmission, directing him to deal with that mysterious person.

After a while, Lie Lei captured the person and brought him back.

It was a young man, and as Lie Lei threw him in front of Duan Gujin, he pretended to be terrified and said, "Please spare my life, big brothers! Why have you brought me here? Please, I beg for mercy!"

With a cold laugh, Duan Gujin was certain this young man standing before him was a spy from the Netherworld Sect.

Even though the young man had concealed his inner Qi, with the help of the Evil Eye, Duan Gujin was one hundred percent sure that the Qi inside the young man was that of the Netherworld Sect.

"Stop pretending. Even if you conceal your inner Qi well, I can still sense it. You're the Netherworld Sect's spy, aren't you? Tell me, what did the Netherworld Sect send you here to do?"

Duan Gujin asked coldly.

"I am not a person from the Netherworld Sect; you've mistaken me for someone else!"

Although the young man tried to feign terror on his face to confuse Duan Gujin, he was inwardly shocked and his heart began to pound violently.

Seeing that the man continued to feign ignorance, Duan Gujin sneered, his figure flashed, and disappeared into the Void.

The next moment, his figure appeared behind the young man, with his right hand placed firmly over the area of the young man's soul sea.

He took out the Netherworld Treasure Bead with his left hand, channeled his Primordial Power into the bead, infusing it with his energy.

Lie Lei had sealed all the meridians in the young man's body, preventing him from moving; he could only widen his eyes in terror as he felt his own Primordial Power being gradually extracted by Duan Gujin.

He was extremely frightened, not knowing what he would be facing next.

After a while, the concealed Qi of the Netherworld Sect within the young man was released.

"Now do you still dare to say you have no connection with the Netherworld Sect?"

Duan Gujin asked coldly.

Brother, I once spent some time in the Netherworld Sect and learned some of the sect's martial skills, that's all! I've left the Netherworld Sect many years ago! I really don't have much to do with the Netherworld Sect anymore!"

The young man's eyes flickered a few times, and he thought of an excuse.

Hearing the young man's excuse, Duan Gujin's heart sneered even more.

"So, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, eh?"

"Brother, I was wrong. Although I once mingled in the Netherworld Sect, I've truly left it many years ago, and I no longer have any ties to the Netherworld Sect. There is an expulsion order from the Netherworld Sect from many years back in my storage ring, you can check it!"

The young man pleaded.

Indeed, in his storage ring, there was an expulsion order he had prepared long ago just in case his identity was exposed, to prevent being caught by people from other sects.

Should he be captured by someone from another sect, as long as he showed them the expulsion order, he felt he could escape disaster.

The young man was also quite clear in his mind that if he were indeed unfortunate enough to be captured by enemies, they would surely subject him to a severe interrogation, and the expulsion order he had prepared beforehand would be utterly useless.

In the Qiankun Continent, it was a world of survival of the fittest; people here did not have much sympathy.

"I don't need to see your expulsion order, you can go sleep now."

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of stale air, and immediately channeled Primordial Power into the Evil Eye.

After a while, the young man's eyes rolled back, and he passed out into a deep sleep.

Seeing the young man passed out, Lie Lei suddenly showed a look of confusion on his face.

"Duan Gujin, how do you plan on extracting information from him?"

Lie Lei asked.

"Watch and learn!"

Duan Gujin's mind stirred, and he quickly channeled Primordial Power into the Netherworld Treasure Pearl again.

The next moment, a surge of energy emitted from the Netherworld Treasure Pearl entered the young man's Divine Soul.

After a while, the young man's eyes suddenly snapped open.

However, his eyes were dull and his soul appeared unanchored.

Lie Lei's eyes widened in shock; he could tell that the young man's Divine Soul seemed to be controlled by Duan Gujin.

He had previously sparred with the young man and knew the young man's strength was at the Third Level of Martial Master.

Logically, with Duan Gujin's current power, it shouldn't be possible to so easily control the young man's Divine Soul.

Yet, the harsh reality was right before him. Lie Lei saw that Duan Gujin truly had control over the young man's Divine Soul.

If one's Divine Soul was controlled by an enemy, beyond a doubt, that person would reveal everything they knew to the enemy.

Lie Lei swallowed hard, now realizing that Duan Gujin, who was by his side, possessed the terrifying ability to control others' Divine Souls.

He suddenly felt a bit worried for himself.

"Fortunately, we're on the same side!"

Lie Lei thought for a moment and comforted himself with that thought.

"Tell me, are you a spy sent by the Netherworld Sect to gather intelligence?" Duan Gujin asked.

"Yes, I was ordered by my superiors to enter here and observe the situation after the destruction of the Star Pill Association!"

The young man responded honestly, word by word.

Hearing the young man's answer, Lie Lei was ecstatic.

He quickly took out a Memory Crystal Stone from his storage ring and said to Duan Gujin, "Ask him the questions you just asked again, I'll record everything!"
