"Duan Gujin, can you guess who this person is?"

Zhu Ge Hongyun asked.

"I really have no idea now, look at this cave, there's only this huge rock and a series of footprints! My thought is that the owner of these footprints must be in cahoots with the 'Jialuo Demon King'! It's very likely that it was the owner of these footprints who destroyed the Star Pill Association! We need to head to the next location immediately, I know there's a place where the 'Jialuo Demon King's' True Body is sealed!"

"Where is it?"

Zhu Ge Hongyun and Lie Lei immediately asked anxiously.

"Let's go out right now! Once everyone has regained their strength, we will set off!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun and Lie Lei then took Duan Gujin and hurried out of the cave, and once outside, Lie Lei had his people blow up the cave to collapse it.

"Everyone, rest well! We have to set off again tomorrow!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun instructed the other elders to rest immediately while he began to inquire Duan Gujin about their next destination.

"Sect Master, the next place we're heading to is Qingshui Bay!"

Duan Gujin replied.

In his previous life, it was at Qingshui Bay where he had, by chance, obtained the Netherworld Treasure Book and the Netherworld Treasure Pearl.

However, his previous life's fortune had occurred two years later.

He hadn't acted before because he used to think that the emergence of the Netherworld Treasure Pearl and Netherworld Treasure Book was related to the climate.

The Netherworld Treasure Book and Netherworld Treasure Pearl would only appear at a certain point in time two years in the future, so he had taken no action before.

But now he had an epiphany, realizing that the Netherworld Treasure Book and Netherworld Treasure Pearl had always been near Qingshui Bay, and their appearance was very likely related to the 'Jialuo Demon King.'

Thinking of the series of footprints he had seen in the cave, Duan Gujin felt a dangerous premonition flash through his mind.

A day later, Duan Gujin led Zhu Ge Hongyun and others, who had fully recovered their strength, to Qingshui Bay.

He had the group spread out to see if they could sense the presence of the Netherworld Dark Clan here.

As time ticked by, to Duan Gujin's disappointment, they searched almost three feet underground, yet they came up empty-handed in their pursuit of the Jialuo Demon King's presence.

Seven days later, an elder from the Green Cloud Sect finally made a discovery. He found a cave deep at the bottom of a lake in Qingshui Bay, and in that cave, he found dozens of broken stones not long shattered.

These broken stones all had a faint scent of the Netherworld Dark Clan, which is why the elder was able to sense their existence.

Duan Gujin's Divine Sense peered into these broken stones, and after a while, he was certain that what he was now seeing in this pile of rubble was the True Body of the 'Jialuo Demon King' that had been sealed and turned into stone.

The aura he felt from these broken stones was exactly the same as the aura he had sensed from the Jialuo Demon King's True Body twice before.

"What's going on?"

Duan Gujin deduced that if the 'Jialuo Demon King' hadn't been vanquished, it certainly wouldn't destroy its own True Body.

In the eyes of common people, the huge rock that originally belonged to the True Body of the Jialuo Demon King might seem useless, but this wasn't the case.

Although these broken stones could no longer transform back into the 'Jialuo Demon King's' Body, they could provide a temporary 'dwelling' for the 'Jialuo Demon King's' Residual Soul.

If the Residual Soul of that Demon King lost those huge stones, it would only face the fate of its soul scattering.

From these broken stones that once made up the 'Jialuo Demon King's' True Body, Duan Gujin came up with a possibility.

"Could it be that the Human Clan was the culprit behind the destruction of the Jialuo Demon King's True Body?"

Duan Gujin felt that this was the most logical possibility. If that Human Clan was controlled by the Jialuo Demon King, the person definitely wouldn't destroy the Demon King's True Body!

Unless that Human Clan didn't want to be controlled by the Jialuo Demon King and thus took lethal action against its True Body!

"What do you think?"

Zhu Ge Hongyun inspected the broken stones and was certain that these stones were very likely the true form of the Jialuo Demon King previously sealed by the Sealing Array.

Duan Gujin shared his thoughts and speculation with Zhu Ge Hongyun.

After hearing Duan Gujin's words, Zhu Ge Hongyun drew a sharp breath.

"My God! I never expected that we have such a deeply hidden enemy to face!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun exclaimed, feeling astonished.

"Yes! I'm completely at my wit's end now! I think our enemy is very likely Han Zhanyi, who was the closest to the Jialuo Demon King back then!"

Duan Gujin had previously pinned the blame on Han Zhanyi, and by saying it again, he wanted Zhu Ge Hongyun to regard Han Zhanyi as the enemy and to be highly vigilant against him.

"Yes!"

After pondering for a while, Zhu Ge Hongyun felt that the Human Clan member who entered the Jialuo Demon King's cave was very likely Han Zhanyi.

"It looks like we need to be prepared, we may have to confront Han Zhan in the future!"

Zhu Ge Hongyun's eyes flickered; he had analyzed this for a long time.

From all the intelligence he had previously acquired, he deduced that the owner of that series of footprints was very likely Han Zhanyi.

"If Han Zhanyi has truly obtained the Nine Nether Dark Sea, how should we deal with him?"

Zhu Ge Hongyun felt somewhat unsure.

"If you can retreat, don't fight! When Han Zhanyi leads the Netherworld Sect to attack the Green Cloud Sect in full force, that will be the best time for you to act against Han Zhan!"

Duan Gujin said.

He expelled a breath of stale air from within. Although the current situation was very dangerous for the Green Cloud Sect, at least he had made the Sect Elders clearly aware that they would definitely face a very powerful enemy in the future. Knowing this, they would make early preparations to prevent the Netherworld Sect from ambushing the Green Cloud Sect.

"It seems that Human Clan member learned about the Netherworld Treasure Bead and Netherworld Treasure Book from the 'Jialuo Demon King', and he took them away in advance!"

He exhaled deeply, he had thought that he would easily obtain the Netherworld Treasure Bead and Netherworld Treasure Book he had in his previous life.

He could never have anticipated that now someone had stolen the Netherworld Treasure Bead and Netherworld Treasure Book from him, this turn of events completely surprised him, catching him off guard.
