Zhu Ge Hongyun ordered his subordinates to scour the entire mountain, to see if there were any other exits in this area.

Duan Gujin also followed the other elders in circling the mountain, as he did not wish for there to be any other exits.

Should that 'Jialuo Demon King' escape through another exit, it would become very difficult, if not impossible, for them to find the 'Jialuo Demon King' again.

"Hopefully, there really are no other exits here!"

Duan Gujin's face was grave; he knew how formidable the 'Jialuo Demon King' was, and he understood in his heart that if Jialuo Demon King did not die, the entire Qiankun Continent would face a catastrophe!

The last time Jialuo Demon King's Profound Weapon Nine Nether Dark Sea effortlessly destroyed the headquarters of the Star Pill Association, it was a clear message to Duan Gujin that currently, on the Qiankun Continent, no one could withstand the enemy who controlled the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

Zhu Ge Hongyun and many other experts were waiting in full battle readiness in front of the Killing Array, ready to use it to eradicate the 'Wild Boar Zombie' as soon as it emerged from inside the cave.

Meanwhile, Duan Gujin and over thirty elders began to surround the mountain, digging deep in search of hidden passages.

Three two hours passed, and the elders who were looking for the cave all returned.

After talking it over for a moment, they realized that none of them had found any caves in the vicinity of the mountain.

After consultation and analysis, they could only conclude that there were no other exits in this area.

Duan Gujin, with the help of his Evil Eye, had especially searched the area around the mountain once more and finally confirmed there really were no other exits.

"How strange, could there really be only this one cave entrance?"

Even though Duan Gujin felt that it was very likely there were other exits, until now, he had found none and was completely out of options.

"Let's send people in!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun suggested.

Hearing these words, Duan Gujin volunteered straight away.

"Sect Master, I'll be the first to sign up!"

His eagerness was because, with the power of the Evil Eye, he could extend his Divine Sense Detection Ability farther than anyone else.

If there really were 'Wild Boar Zombies' inside the cave, he could issue a timely warning to prepare everyone else.

"Good!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun didn't think too much; he felt that since Duan Gujin willingly volunteered, he must have something to rely on.

If Duan Gujin truly had the ability to find that 'Wild Boar Zombie', that would be incredibly good news for them; at the very least, they would have fewer casualties on their side.

Thus, Zhu Ge Hongyun agreed to Duan Gujin's proposition and specifically assigned two Martial Sect-level experts to closely follow Duan Gujin, protecting him closely.

At the same time, Zhu Ge Hongyun instructed that, should the situation truly arise, the two Martial Sect-level experts must abandon everyone else and ensure they bring Duan Gujin back swiftly.

The elders present changed their expressions upon hearing this; their looks towards Duan Gujin were filled with bafflement.

Some of them carefully compared Duan Gujin's and Zhu Ge Hongyun's appearances, suspecting that Duan Gujin was the Sect Master's illegitimate son.

Otherwise, why would Zhu Ge Hongyun issue such an irrational command?

Despite the various thoughts in the hearts of the present elders, they dared not disobey the Sect Master's orders.

"Depart!"

Seeing that everyone was ready for battle, Zhu Ge Hongyun signaled for the departure.

Re-entering the cave they had traversed before, Duan Gujin felt an array of emotions as he extended his Divine Sense through the Evil Eye.

After a short while, he sensed that the walls of the entire cave were marked with traces left by the 'Wild Boar Zombie'.

He checked those marks and discovered a strong scent of decay on them.

Duan Gujin furrowed his brows and his mind raced, as the strong scent of decay sparked an odd hunch inside him.

"Duan Gujin, what's wrong?"

Lie Lei, who was following close to Duan Gujin, noticed his abnormal state and quickly asked.

"It's nothing!"

Duan Gujin did not want to cause panic among the others, especially since he could not immediately remember what that unusual sensation signified.

"It's good if it's nothing!"

Lie Lei communicated telepathically.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and he racked his brains in recollection.

After the group moved forward for a hundred meters, his eyes suddenly brightened—he remembered!

"I know what that scent is! It's the Kuimu Pig Demon! Yes, the Kuimu Pig Demon!"

Duan Gujin overturned all his prior speculations and hastily shared his new guess with Lie Lei through psychic messaging.

Lie Lei had no idea what a Kuimu Pig Demon was, so he quickly asked Duan Gujin in secret about it.

Duan Gujin then remembered that although the Kuimu Pig Demon existed on the Qiankun Continent, the people here did not study it in detail.

Whereas on other continents, people encounter too many Kuimu Pig Demons.

Therefore, they were very familiar with the Kuimu Pig Demon, knowing its strengths and weaknesses.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he immediately shared all he knew about the Kuimu Pig Demon with Lie Lei and instructed him to inform the other elders.

Lie Lei did as told, and after a while, he discussed with several elders that they should return to consult with the Sect Master.

"That Kuimu Pig Demon is adept at using deadly poison; although we've prepared a lot of kerosene before, we didn't prepare Detoxification Elixir. For safety, we should go back and prepare Detoxification Elixir!"

Duan Gujin agreed with Lie Lei's suggestion, knowing he was absolutely correct.

"Although I'm not too afraid of the Kuimu Pig Demon's deadly poison, others here might not be the same! It's prudent for us to prepare more Detoxification Elixir to prevent the unforeseeable!"

Duan Gujin followed Lie Lei and the others back to meet with Zhu Ge Hongyun, and Lie Lei conveyed Duan Gujin's judgment to him.

"All right! I will distribute more Detoxification Elixir to you now!"

Even though Zhu Ge Hongyun had prepared some Detoxification Elixir for Duan Gujin and the others beforehand, they were in limited quantities, and they hadn't considered that they would be facing an enemy who was a Demon Beast with a body full of deadly poison.

Lie Lei began distributing the Detoxification Elixirs to everyone, warning them to use the Detoxification Elixir immediately if they encountered any situation.

The elders present immediately remembered Lie Lei's warning; they knew the enemy they faced was not simple and dared not gamble with their lives.

After a while, everyone set off again.

They advanced more than a thousand meters inside the cave and felt the interior becoming more humid, the yin energy growing stronger, and an extremely foul odor surrounding them.

The cave was very narrow, only able to accommodate two people side by side.

For safety, the group kept a five-meter distance, advancing in a snake-like formation through the cramped cave.

Despite knowing the danger, they couldn't think of a better way to navigate within such a cramped cave at this moment.

They discovered that the deeper they went into the cave, the narrower and more humid the passages became.

After a while, Duan Gujin informed everyone, "The Kuimu Pig Demon has appeared!"

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, everyone immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

Indeed, in less than ten breaths, they all heard deafening roars echoing from the cave ahead.

"Duan Gujin's Divine Sense Detection Ability reaches such a great distance; unexpectedly, he managed to sense the Kuimu Pig Demon's qi ahead of us!"

Initially, many elders present had doubted Duan Gujin's strength.

But now, having witnessed Duan Gujin's astonishing performance with their own eyes, they were finally convinced that he was truly superior in Divine Sense Inspection.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In less than five breaths, they sensed a bolt of lightning shooting out from the cave ahead, moving at an incredibly fast speed.

"Set up the formation!"

Lie Lei immediately instructed everyone to deploy a Defensive Magic Array ahead.

In less than three breaths, a huge Defensive Magic Array appeared in front of them.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Echoing through the cave ahead were the roaring sounds of the Kuimu Pig Demon, and moments later, it charged towards them.

"Hahaha! We meet again!"

Just then, the voice of the 'Jialuo Demon King' resounded once more.

The complexions of the elders present tensed to the extreme; they knew they were facing a formidable ancient enemy sealed away for countless years and were naturally extremely cautious, fearing that any negligence might lead to the failure of their mission.

"Hehe! Tell me, Jialuo Demon King, didn't you go on a rampant killing spree at the Star Pill Association last time? Why hide in this filthy corner?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin immediately provoked.

Hearing Duan Gujin's provocation, Lie Lei thought it through and realized Duan Gujin was really formidable!

"I didn't want to! One day, once I get out, I will slaughter wildly and exterminate all of you despicable Human Clan!"

The Jialuo Demon King coldly responded.

Hearing the words of the Jialuo Demon King, all the elders present were infuriated.

"Despicable Human Clan? You're just trash!"

Unable to hold back, one of the elders at the scene cursed angrily.

"Yes! You're just trash!"

Soon, other elders joined in the cursing.

Hearing the elders' angry curses, the 'Jialuo Demon King' furiously retorted, "Wait a while, and I hope you won't be begging for mercy on your knees!"

"Charge!"

The elders of the Green Cloud Sect were truly united at this moment, as they were really provoked.

They quickly infused Primordial Power into the Defensive Magic Array they had set up, halting the 'Jialuo Demon King's advance.

Just now, the 'Jialuo Demon King' was blocked by the Defensive Magic Array set up by the elders, unable to move forward.

The elders of the Green Cloud Sect and the 'Jialuo Demon King' entered a stalemate, neither side able to gain an advantage over the other.

Seeing this, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered with brilliance, his mind rapidly spinning as he contemplated a strategy to counter the 'Jialuo Demon King'.

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up—he had a plan!

Now the elders of the Green Cloud Sect and the 'Jialuo Demon King' were in a standoff, and even if Duan Gujin wanted to rush forward, it was impossible.

The cave passage was extremely narrow, but fortunately, the Green Cloud Sect possessed a very special Combined Attack Skill, the Azure Dragon Formation.

This Azure Dragon Formation is quite an exceptional formation, where the practitioners transfer their respective Primordial Power bit by bit to the Dragon Head.

At this moment, an elder of the Martial Sect level was at the Dragon Head of the Azure Dragon Formation.

Lie Lei was in the third position within the Azure Dragon Formation and was not the 'leader' controlling it.

The reason for such an arrangement in the Azure Dragon Formation was that another middle-aged elder was more suited than Lie Lei for the position at the Dragon Head, as that elder could better control the Azure Dragon formed by the combined Primordial Power of multiple individuals.

"I think this Kuimu Pig Demon is the very Body the Jialuo Demon King is occupying here!"

Duan Gujin's eyes widened as he carefully observed every move of the 'Kuimu Pig Demon'.

After a period of observation, he concluded that the 'Kuimu Pig Demon' must have been possessed by the 'Jialuo Demon King' and the possession must have lasted for quite a long time.

Generally, if a member of the Netherworld Dark Clan possesses a Body for a certain amount of time, to some extent they will fuse with the possessed Body.

This sort of fusion has both advantages and disadvantages for the Netherworld Dark Clan.

The advantage is that once the fusion reaches a certain degree, the Netherworld Dark Clan can then unlock the strength of the possessed Body.

Although they can't utilize 100% of the Combat Power, it's much stronger than the power exhibited immediately after possessing the Body.

As for the disadvantage, it is that if the Body controlled by the Netherworld Dark Clan is killed by an enemy, the soul of the Netherworld Dark Clan will suffer a severe blow and may even be scattered to oblivion.
