"We should just take him directly to Shi Wuxie," Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he spoke.

"Okay!"

The Spirit Binders then seized the young man and took him to the front of the Star Pill Association.

When Lie Lei appeared again, Shi Wuxie was somewhat stunned.

Upon hearing that the young man was a spy from the Netherworld Sect, a great rage surged in his heart.

Duan Gujin said, "Chairman Shi, after catching this spy, I used some very special methods to force him to tell the truth, I hope you don't mind my using these special means!"

"Not at all!"

Seeing the very young Duan Gujin, Shi Wuxie's heart trembled slightly.

Duan Gujin immediately deployed the Evil Eye, forcing the young man to reveal the truth.

Once the young man revealed the truth, Duan Gujin threw the man over to Shi Wuxie.

"This young man is very cunning, you can interrogate him yourselves," Duan Gujin stated.

"I believe your words! I will cooperate with the Green Cloud Sect!" Shi Wuxie said earnestly.

"That's good!"

After bidding farewell to Duan Gujin and Lie Lei, Shi Wuxie gathered the upper echelons of the Star Pill Association, and immediately convened a strategy meeting.

He told everything that happened that day to the elders, letting them decide what they should do next.

Most of the elders had experienced today's events, and upon learning that everything was the work of the Netherworld Sect, they naturally chose to cooperate with the Green Cloud Sect.

"Chairman, if we do not seek revenge for this, the Star Pill Association will never be able to hold its ground from now on!"

Many elders were aware of the news that the headquarters of the Star Pill Association had been destroyed today; once it spread, it would definitely cause devastating damage to the reputation of the Star Pill Association.

No matter how the people of the Star Pill Association explained, the people of the Qiankun Continent only knew that the headquarters of the Star Pill Association had been destroyed.

If the Star Pill Association did not find and eliminate the culprits who destroyed their headquarters, from then on, the people of the Qiankun Continent would think that the Star Pill Association was just resting on its laurels.

"Chairman, you know best about this matter. Tell us what to do, and we will do it!"

Among those elders, someone quickly spoke up like this.

"Yes! Chairman, tell us what to do, and we will do it!"

The elders present had all experienced battles with the Nine Nether Dark Sea before, and they clearly knew that their enemy was too powerful.

For the people of the Star Pill Association, the battle tonight was a complete defeat on their part.

The headquarters of the Star Pill Association had been completely destroyed, making them lose face.

What shocked them most was that they did not see the true face of the enemy even as the enemy retreated; they did not even know who the enemy was.

If this matter spread out, it would definitely bring fatal damage to the prestige and status of the Star Pill Association.

After discussions, Shi Wuxie and the senior members of the Star Pill Association decided to cooperate with the Green Cloud Sect.

After bidding farewell to Duan Gujin, Lie Lei, and Shi Wuxie, they did not leave but continued to search for people from the Netherworld Sect in the vicinity.

But this time, they did not find anyone from the Netherworld Sect.

Duan Gujin then discussed with Lie Lei what they were going to do next.

"It seems that the previous intelligence was wrong, it is very possible that Han Zhanyi came here to first gather intelligence on the Star Pill Association," Lie Lei stated.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he said, "Vice Sect Master Lie, have you ever asked Shi Wuxie about his relationship with Han Zhanyi?"

"I asked. He said they bear no grudges against each other, but they're also not very close friends! Why, do you think there's something fishy going on?"

Lie Lei asked.

"Yes, we've received intelligence that Han Zhanyi entered the Star Pill Association in Qiankun Country, and soon after, the Star Pill Association was destroyed. What is the connection between these events?"

"Exactly, I'm also wondering about that!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered again, and after a while, he observed that it was already daylight.

So, he and Lie Lei decided to stay at a nearby inn.

The next day, they heard everyone in the inn talking about the events of the previous night.

Having experienced the events of the last night himself, Duan Gujin had no interest in listening to those rumors, so he and Lie Lei decided to first return to Green Cloud Sect.

On the way back, Duan Gujin couldn't help but feel emotional.

"I can't use the experience from my past life to deal with the changes in this life! I feel like a headless fly right now, not knowing what my next move should be!"

Duan Gujin knew that in two years from his past life, Green Cloud Sect would have been destroyed by the Netherworld Sect.

But after last night's events, he had a premonition that if the behind-the-scenes master of the Nine Nether Dark Sea were a bit bolder, it might not be long before they would annihilate Green Cloud Sect.

"It seems I completely miscalculated how many treasures of the Netherworld Dark Clan were in that site!"

Duan Gujin thought about his previous negligence, which had suddenly led to so many issues he had never considered before.

After returning to Green Cloud Sect, Lie Lei reported everything that happened in Qiankun Country to Zhu Ge Hongyun.

After hearing it, Zhu Ge Hongyun gasped, realizing how dangerous the situation had become.

So, he asked to see Duan Gujin.

When Duan Gujin met Zhu Ge Hongyun, he told him that they must not repeat the mistakes of the Star Pill Association.

"Sect Master, if that mass of dark clouds appears again, please, Sect Master, abandon using the Defensive Magic Array against the dark clouds. My master told me that mass of dark clouds is actually a treasure of Jialuo Demon King called Nine Nether Dark Sea, which is most formidable in releasing tremendous pressure in a short time. The pressure might seem overwhelming but it cannot harm people. As long as you avoid the pressure, generally, there won't be a problem!"

Duan Gujin conveyed what that mass of dark clouds really was to Zhu Ge Hongyun, warning him not to make the same mistake as Star Pill Association.

"I had no idea! So that's how it is!"

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Zhu Ge Hongyun thought deeply for a while, then realized that a catastrophe might likely occur on Qiankun Continent.

Recognizing the severity of the situation, he decided that he must prepare to confront the Jialuo Demon King.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Ge Hongyun, Duan Gujin could guess from his facial expression changes that he must have realized the gravity of the situation.

"I hope Green Cloud Sect can survive this calamity!"

Duan Gujin pondered for an hour, then decided to return to the site of the Netherworld Dark Clan.

"I must return to that site, I must investigate! If I still can't find any valuable treasures there, I will only have to enter the second site."

After making up his mind, Duan Gujin immediately informed Lie Lei.

"Vice Sect Master Lie, would you be interested in going with me?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"Of course I am interested! Now it's a critical moment for the survival of Green Cloud Sect!"

Lie Lei knew that the situation on Qiankun Continent was critical. Duan Gujin's return to the site of the Netherworld Dark Clan was naturally to gather more intelligence.

Lie Lei realized from past experiences that for Green Cloud Sect to triumph over the Netherworld Dark Clan and that Jialuo Demon King, they must rely on Duan Gujin and possibly even need his master's intervention.

Although Green Cloud Sect was numerous and powerful, they knew little about the enigmatic Jialuo Demon King. They could only depend on Duan Gujin who was knowledgeable about Jialuo Demon King.

Therefore, Lie Lei did not want any harm to come to Duan Gujin.
