They made their battle preparations outside, ready to confront the demon beast that was about to burst forth at any moment.

Moments later, accompanied by an angry roar, a beast like a black panther charged out from the cave.

Upon seeing the appearance of the beast, Duan Gujin and Lie Lei simultaneously gasped in shock.

It turned out that although the beast looked normal, they could see that it was in fact a giant wild boar that had died who knows how long ago.

Many parts of the giant wild boar's body exposed white, bare bones, and a lot of its flesh had decayed.

"So it's a zombie!"

After observing for a while, Duan Gujin deduced that the giant wild boar must have become a zombie.

"How odd! Why would there be a wild boar zombie in this cave?"

Duan Gujin's mind raced, he felt that it was highly unlikely for a giant wild boar to become a zombie without a reason, he conjectured that the Jialuo Demon King likely had something to do with the transformation of the giant wild boar into a zombie.

What he couldn't comprehend was, why didn't the Jialuo Demon King transform some demon beasts or members of the Human Clan into zombies instead.

Logically, only those demon beasts or members of the Human Clan with a certain level of cultivation would, once turned into zombies, unleash cultivation far stronger than that of ordinary wild animals which knew nothing of cultivation.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he came up with a possibility.

"Could it be that the 'Jialuo Demon King' who is sealed here couldn't find any demon beasts or humans with cultivation at the time, and had no choice but to possess this wild boar?"

After thinking for a while, he arrived at this possibility.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect us to meet again! Fate really brings enemies together!"

Just then, the wild boar zombie spoke.

Hearing the chilling voice of the wild boar, Lie Lei was so frightened his soul nearly scattered, his heart pounding violently.

"God! This wild boar recognizes us?"

"Jialuo Demon King, it seems I really underestimated you before!"

Duan Gujin's Divine Sense locked onto the wild boar zombie in front of him, he was now certain that the wild boar in front of him was very likely possessed by the Jialuo Demon King.

"To be able to recognize me so quickly, it seems you know a lot about our Netherworld Dark Clan!"

The 'wild boar zombie' compared the changes in expression on the faces of Duan Gujin and Lie Lei, and it knew Duan Gujin had recognized it, and his facial expression did not show much change.

Lie Lei's face, on the other hand, first showed confusion, accompanied by some fear, hence the 'wild boar zombie' deduced that Lie Lei probably didn't know much about the Netherworld Dark Clan.

If one understood the Netherworld Dark Clan, they would know that the Netherworld Dark Clan has a very terrifying trait – they can easily possess the bodies of other living creatures.

If one did not know much about the Netherworld Dark Clan, they definitely wouldn't be aware of this trait.

The 'wild boar zombie' let out a deep growl, its aura erupting once again.

"Fall back!"

Duan Gujin immediately told Lie Lei to retreat. With a flicker in his eyes, he took out the Heavenly Emperor Bell from his storage ring.

He injected Primordial Power into the Heavenly Emperor Bell and then fiercely smashed it down onto the 'wild boar zombie'.

Duan Gujin's eyes sparkled, he noticed that the 'wild boar zombie' coming at them seemed ferocious, but it was always trying to stay close to places that could avoid direct sunlight.

The sun at this moment was scorching, casting its rays on the ground, and black smoke rose from many parts of the 'wild boar zombie'.

"It seems that there is a serious problem with the body possessed by this Jialuo Demon King!"

Although Duan Gujin could see that the Jialuo Demon King's current situation was not very good, he didn't want to risk Lie Lei's safety, and so he promptly fled the scene with him.

The 'Wild Boar Zombie' chased after them for a while before retreating.

Seeing that the 'Wild Boar Zombie' did not pursue them, Duan Gujin and Lie Lei exhaled a breath of relief.

Having narrowly escaped disaster, they merely let out a sigh of relief.

"What should we do?"

Lie Lei asked.

"Let's go back. I think we can take advantage of the Jialuo Demon King's fear of sunlight and fire!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed. He felt they could refer to the previous battle tactics.

"What do you think the Jialuo Demon King would do if we destroy the cave ahead?"

Lie Lei asked.

"Even if we destroy the cave now, that enemy wielding the Nine Nether Dark Sea will wreak havoc everywhere!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Is there really no way we can suppress the Nine Nether Dark Sea?"

Duan Gujin's eyes sparkled; he felt that the 'Wild Boar Zombie' possessed by the Jialuo Demon King had many weaknesses. As long as they found a way, they could easily eliminate that 'Wild Boar Zombie'.

Duan Gujin and Lie Lei had returned to the ancient ruins to look for clues.

Now that they had found the clues, there was no need for the two of them to face the Jialuo Demon King alone.

They hastily returned to Green Cloud Sect and after finding Sect Master Zhu Ge Hongyun, they reported everything that had happened in the ruins to him.

After hearing their story, Zhu Ge Hongyun realized that the Jialuo Demon King sealed within the ruins had not been completely exterminated.

"So that's what happened!"

Thus, Zhu Ge Hongyun gathered hundreds of elders from the Green Cloud Sect, told them the situation, and asked them to make all kinds of preparations.

15 minutes later, Zhu Ge Hongyun led those hundreds of elders, along with Duan Gujin and Lie Lei, to rush towards the mountain where the 'Wild Boar Zombie' was located.

This time, Zhu Ge Hongyun, to avoid having traitors within the sect, decided resolutely to take those elders to assault the location of the 'Wild Boar Zombie' that very day.

Even if there were indeed spies from the Netherworld Sect amongst those elders, Zhu Ge Hongyun would not let the spy have the chance to send a warning.

Therefore, after summoning those elders, he only told them to set out to eliminate the enemy.

As for who they should eliminate and against whom they should act, he did not provide any explanation.

After much difficulty, Zhu Ge Hongyun led the crowd to the mountain where the 'Wild Boar Zombie' was located.

Under the guidance of Duan Gujin and Lie Lei, Zhu Ge Hongyun arrived at the entrance of the cave. With his Divine Sense stretching out, after a moment of observation, he confirmed the presence of the distinct Qi of the Netherworld Dark Clan inside the cave.

First, he ordered people to set up multiple Killing Arrays inside and outside the cave, and then he personally entered the cave with two Martial Sect Level experts.

After a while, Zhu Ge Hongyun and his three Martial Sect Level experts ran out of the cave.

As they waited for the 'Wild Boar Zombie' to be lured out, a deep voice came from within the cave.

"You humans are really shameless! Do you take me for a fool? You think I wouldn't know about the Killing Arrays you've set up at the entrance?"

The deep voice of the Jialuo Demon King, laden with mockery, resonated from the cave.

"Come out and fight us if you have the guts!" Zhu Ge Hongyun had no intention of reasoning with the Jialuo Demon King.

"Come in and fight me if you have the guts!"

The Jialuo Demon King would not fall for such a ruse. Sensing that Zhu Ge Hongyun had set up a Killing Array at the cave entrance, it would not foolishly charge into the Killing Array.
