"Who exactly is that figure?"

Although Duan Gujin speculated that the figure was very likely Han Zhanyi, he had not seen it with his own eyes.

Only seeing is believing, and only then will this doubt be dispelled from his mind.

"It seems this life is completely different from the last! Interesting!"

Duan Gujin didn't expect that the Netherworld Treasure Pearl and Netherworld Treasure Book, which he considered essential to acquire, would ultimately be taken by someone else, something completely unforeseen.

"I obtained the Netherworld Treasure Pearl from the Jialuo Demon King, and that means the Jialuo Demon King will surely die soon! Even if it has residual souls elsewhere, once a member of the Netherworld Dark Clan loses the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, it can no longer use the power of its clan, and death is near! It seems that the Human Clan also dislikes the Jialuo Demon King, hence, it destroyed the Demon King's true body!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath. Since he currently couldn't locate that person, he had no choice but to return to the Green Cloud Sect with other elders.

"What we need to do next is to find every possible way to swiftly enhance our strength!"

Duan Gujin said this to Lie Lei and Zhu Ge Hongyun.

"Yes!"

Both of them fully agreed with Duan Gujin's words, as they too, speculated that the Human Clan member was very likely Han Zhanyi.

But they had not seen it with their own eyes; they only knew that their enemy was incredibly powerful, and what they could do in the future was to try everything possible to quickly boost their own side's strength.

Although the entire Green Cloud Sect had not lost an elder in this operation, none of the high-level members of the sect felt any joy. They knew that their hidden enemy was truly terrifying, even more horrifying than the Jialuo Demon King.

Not only had that Human Clan member attacked the true body of the Jialuo Demon King to completely annihilate it but also commanded the extremely horrifying Dark Weapon, the Nine Nether Dark Sea, naturally causing unrest in their hearts.

They knew, it was very likely that in the near future, they would have to face that master who possessed the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

As the elders returned to the Green Cloud Sect, they instructed their disciples to intensify training and prepare for battle, giving the Green Cloud Sect a tension-filled atmosphere.

The disciples of the Green Cloud Sect dared not defy the commands of the sect's higher-ups. They trained rigorously according to the elders' orders, enhancing their strength.

Once back in the Alchemy Secret Room, Duan Gujin first activated the Defensive Magic Array, then entered a frenzied mode of alchemy.

He now needed a large number of Innate Primordial Pills to quickly enhance his Cultivation at the Innate Level, especially since the strength of the unknown enemy was unfathomable and they also had obtained the Netherworld Treasure Pearl and Netherworld Treasure Book.

In his past life, Duan Gujin had relied on the Netherworld Treasure Pearl to cultivate the Netherworld Treasure Book.

Thus, he knew that combining those two treasures could indeed allow a Martial Artist to quickly enhance their cultivation in a short period of time.

This meant that the enemy's power would only become stronger.

"To defeat a powerful enemy, I must become stronger than them!"

Time passed, and soon, three months had gone by.

During these three months, Duan Gujin became engrossed in alchemy and cultivation. He had successively broken through three minor levels, and now his cultivation had reached the Innate Eighth Layer.

"In these three months, my cultivation rapidly ascended three minor levels; it's time to let my body stabilize a bit!"

Duan Gujin did not immediately attempt to advance to the Innate Ninth Layer, knowing all too well the principle that haste does not bring success.

He slightly tidied up his clothing and appearance, then left the Alchemy Secret Room, planning to find out the current situation on the Qiankun Continent.

He soon found Lie Lei and, after inquiring, learned that the enemy possessing the Nine Nether Dark Sea had also intruded into the Holy Land and destroyed many of its structures.

"Right now, that enemy is being pursued by the Holy Land and the Star Pill Association, both of which have placed high bounties on the whereabouts of the enemy!"

Lie Lei informed Duan Gujin of the major events that had occurred on the Qiankun Continent during the three months of his seclusion.

After hearing this, Duan Gujin finally learned that during the three months he was in seclusion, the enemy had invaded the Holy Land, demolished many of its buildings, and was now being hunted by the Holy Land.

"It seems that the enemy is a harbinger of trouble!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a heavy breath, his eyes flickering as he pondered whether the Nine Nether Dark Sea had any time interval restrictions.

After all, Lie Lei had told him that it had been sixty days after they left Qingshui Bay when the enemy launched the attack on the Holy Land.

The Holy Land is not weak; it is clouded with experts and is a formidable force on the Qiankun Continent.

"This is great! This time, that enemy has become an adversary to the two major powers of the Qiankun Continent!"

In Duan Gujin's mind, this was undoubtedly tremendous news.

His eyes sparkled as he contemplated whether there might be nearly a two-month time interval restriction on the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

He knew some powerful Dark Weapons required a substantial energy supply inside.

Once such a Dark Weapon was used, it would take some time to infuse Primordial Power into it.

Once the energy within the Dark Weapon was replenished, it could be used again.

"This means, it's possible that the enemy might launch an attack on the Green Cloud Sect in a month! If the Green Cloud Sect is destroyed by it, then no power on the Qiankun Continent could oppose it anymore!"
