"It's normal that you don't know about the Nine Snake Ghost Grass; it is an extremely rare poisonous herb. We must be very careful when we approach it! You must not touch its leaves under any circumstances, as doing so will result in severe poisoning!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Okay!"
The two elders quickly nodded in agreement.
A moment later, those two elders informed the others present about the characteristics of the Nine Snake Ghost Grass and warned them against touching it.
The advice of the two elders was taken seriously by everyone present.
Then, the two elders led Duan Gujin and others into the cave.
Upon entering the cave, they saw an astonishing number of black weeds on both sides.
These black weeds each had nine leaves that looked like snake heads, constantly swaying up and down.
Seeing the astonishing number of Nine Snake Ghost Grass, everyone present couldn't help but inhale sharply.
It was their first time encountering such eerily shaped weeds, so they all prepared for battle in case the Nine Snake Ghost Grass might attack them.
The two elders opened their eyes wide upon seeing the appearance of the Nine Snake Ghost Grass; they were thoroughly convinced by Duan Gujin.
"It seems this Duan Gujin indeed knows some information that even the Holy Land and Qiankun Royal Academy are unaware of. No wonder he was able to solve the red smoke earlier. Who exactly is Duan Gujin, and why does he know things not even the Holy Land and the Royal Academy are aware of?"
The eyes of the two elders twinkled, convinced that Duan Gujin's identity was no simple matter.
In their minds, Duan Gujin was no longer just a regular True Disciple of the Green Cloud Sect but rather an elder-level figure with a status similar to theirs.
After the group had traveled over six hundred meters, suddenly, those in the front felt an extremely terrifying burst of Cold Energy, causing Duan Gujin and others at the front to shiver all over.
"So cold!"
The same thought flashed through everyone's minds. They hurriedly circulated their Primordial Power to dispel the cold.
"Everyone, be on guard!"
The elders present ordered the disciples beside them to prepare for battle at any moment.
Duan Gujin furrowed his brows tightly; he sensed an extremely terrifying and heart-palpitating presence ahead in the cave, and the previously felt intense cold was an emanation from that presence.
The next moment, everyone heard a sorrowful sound echoing inside the cave.
"Hehehehe! Welcome, you humans, to this earthly hell."
The voice was extremely shrill and unpleasant; it took everyone quite some time to come back to their senses and understand what was being said.
"What? Earthly hell?"
Upon hearing the phrase "earthly hell," everyone's complexion drastically changed, their hearts pounding wildly, and they were struck with a chilling dread, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.
Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly lit up; he had an epiphany.
It turned out that the voice they just heard was filled with strong Divine Soul Attack energy, which caused many people present to be affected by a Divine Soul Attack, resulting in immense fear.
"Duan Gujin, do you know what kind of demon is ahead?"
At this moment, Zhang Di's voice transmission reached Duan Gujin's ears.
Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he replied, "I don't yet know what's ahead. Tell everyone to retreat, and send a few elite members to come up and check with me."
"Okay!"
Zhang Di thought for a moment before agreeing with Duan Gujin's suggestion.
Zhang Di immediately ordered the disciples behind him to retreat, leaving only a few powerful elders to stay with him.
He swiftly communicated with those elders via secret transmission, instructing them to protect Duan Gujin well.
Afterward, Zhang Di carefully led Duan Gujin and the others forward.
As they moved forward, Duan Gujin increasingly sensed the Yin Cold Aura emanating from ahead growing stronger.
He pondered rapidly in his mind.
"Why hasn't that demon attacked us yet?"
As they continued on, suddenly, they saw a stele standing in their path.
Duan Gujin immediately read the inscriptions on the Stele, and after a while, he finally knew the truth.
"So, a demon is sealed here! Who would have thought, it turns out that this demon is an accomplice of the Jialuo Demon King!"
After Zhang Di and the others read the words on the stele, they all gasped. Zhang Di promptly asked Duan Gujin if he knew about the Jialuo Demon King.
"The one who destroyed the Star Pill Association's headquarters was the Jialuo Demon King!"
Duan Gujin briefly recounted to Zhang Di his encounter with the Jialuo Demon King.
Zhang Di had previously heard about the destruction of the Star Pill Association's headquarters and was shocked at the news; he knew quite well about the strength of the Star Pill Association due to his good relations with some of its senior members.
When he first heard that the Star Pill Association's headquarters had been destroyed, he was filled with amazement.
Initially, he doubted the legitimacy of this news, but after thorough investigation, he realized it was indeed true.
At that time, he marveled that there existed a force capable of destroying the Star Pill Association's headquarters; it seemed beyond belief to him.
Now, hearing that it was the Jialuo Demon King who destroyed the Star Pill Association, he naturally felt immensely shocked.
"I never thought that such terrifying demons could exist in this world!"
But after hearing Duan Gujin's explanation about the Netherworld Dark Clan, he immediately felt fearful.
