"Everyone, get ready for battle!"

Duan Gujin instructed the elders to prepare, then he moved forward with the other elders.

About 15 minutes later, they saw a high tower inside the cave, which was about five meters tall and shaped like a pyramid.

"It's the Sealing Tower!"

Duan Gujin telepathically informed everyone, letting them know that the tower ahead was a Sealing Array.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath and stepped forward to examine the Sealing Tower.

After a short while, he finally understood what was going on.

"So that's how it is!"

Duan Gujin's heart suddenly leaped, and he gained a flash of insight.

His eyes flickered, and he returned, secretly sending a message to Zhang Di and the others, telling them to retreat immediately.

"It turns out that there are some cracks in the Sealing Array up ahead, and I need to repair those cracks! You won't be able to help me fix them! If anyone stays nearby, you might end up being controlled by the Demon King trapped within the Sealing Array!"

"Wait, I will repair the cracks in the Sealing Tower by myself! Don't enter recklessly!"

Duan Gujin said very seriously.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Zhang Di and the others present involuntarily gasped, asking, "Duan Gujin, isn't this too dangerous for you?"

"Of course, I know the danger, but I am a true Third-level Alchemist, and my telekinesis can withstand the Divine Soul Attack of the Demon King trapped under the Sealing Array! If you were by my side, your telekinesis wouldn't be strong, and you would just be exploited by the Demon King! Believe me, I'll be fine!"

Duan Gujin said with a serious tone.

"If that's the case, then you must be careful!"

Zhang Di's eyes flickered, recalling Duan Gujin's reaction upon seeing the Sealing Tower; he didn't think Duan Gujin was bluffing or had any schemes.

So, he led the other elders away.

Once he saw the elders leave, Duan Gujin exhaled, a flash of excitement crossing his face.

"Who would have thought, the Demon King sealed below is truly dead, it only has some Soul Fire left inside the Sealing Array, and once I consume the residual Soul Fire of that Demon King, my telekinesis will be able to rise a small rank!"

Duan Gujin became extremely excited in his heart, after sensing the presence of Soul Fire inside the Sealing Tower, he was immediately exhilarated.

Hence, he hurriedly found an excuse to send Zhang Di and the others away, for he intended to consume the Demon King's Soul Fire within the Sealing Tower.

"Who would have thought that I could actually consume a Demon King's Soul Fire here!"

For a Martial Artist to elevate their telekinesis, they either rely on meditation, taking Spiritual Medicine or Elixir Pills, or by consuming high-grade Soul Fire.

Elevating telekinesis through meditation is extremely difficult and requires great perseverance from the cultivator.

To elevate telekinesis by consuming Spiritual Medicine or Elixir Pills, one must possess sufficient wealth or luck.

To elevate a Martial Artist's telekinesis through consuming Soul Fire solely depends on luck.

And previously, Duan Gujin sensed some soul fire power under that Sealing Tower, and his heart immediately became incredibly excited.

Out of the three methods, the most difficult is to consume Soul Fire, a chance that comes by fate and cannot be sought—one that relies on a Martial Artist's immense Immortal Destiny.

To prevent anyone from destroying his plan to consume Soul Fire, Duan Gu first set up a Defensive Magic Array at the entrance of the cave leading to the Sealing Tower to prevent the energy of the Soul Fire from leaking out.

After setting up the Defensive Magic Array, he stepped onto the Sealing Tower and carefully examined the patterns of the Sealing Array.

After a while, he began to sabotage the patterns of the Sealing Array.

Following a loud rumbling sound, he had completely destroyed the Sealing Tower.

He looked inside the Sealing Tower and indeed sensed a very powerful soul fire power.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, a gloomy voice came from below.

Duan Gujin had been psychologically prepared early on, so the sudden appearance of the voice did not frighten him.

"Hehe, hello there! I would like to know something, may I ask what is your relationship with Jialuo Demon King?"

Duan Gujin chuckled as he asked.

"Why do you ask this?"

The voice asked with puzzlement.

"I and Jialuo Demon King are old friends, you don't have to be afraid, we're on the same side!"

Duan Gujin chuckled awkwardly.

"Who said we're on the same side with you, a member of the Human Clan?"

The voice clearly did not believe Duan Gujin's words.

With a flash in his eyes, Duan Gujin pulled out an Evil Eye from his storage ring, then said to the voice, "Look, what is this? This is a gift from your Jialuo Demon King to me!"

Upon seeing Duan Gujin showing one of their clan members' eyes, the owner of the voice became furious.

"You are obviously deceiving me, Jialuo Demon King regards your Human Clan as mortal enemies, he would never give you one of our clan members' eyes!"

The owner of the voice immediately saw through Duan Gujin's lie.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered for a while, as he could not determine whether the owner of the voice was lying to him or not.

"Let me tell you, this was given to me by Jialuo Demon King in a time of grave danger, to save his own life, and he said that as long as I bring this eye to him in the future, he would grant me a request unconditionally! I'm telling you, this eye of your clan member is indeed something that Jialuo Demon King gave to me out of gratefulness for saving his life, he was crying and kneeling, begging me to accept it! He also said that once his cultivation is restored in the future, he would acknowledge me as his elder brother!"

Duan Gujin let his imagination run wild and said all this to the owner of the Soul Fire with a straight face.

"Don't try to deceive me! This is absolutely impossible, our Netherworld Dark Clan hates your Human Clan the most!" the voice's owner still said.

"Hehe, my friend, if you don't believe me, why don't you come out and meet me in person? As long as we meet and have a heart-to-heart talk, I believe we could become good friends!"

Duan Gujin's eyes darted around, thinking he could easily locate the Soul Fire beneath the Sealing Tower.

But when he sent his Divine Sense to look inside the Sealing Tower, to his astonishment, he found that the space underneath stretched down at least hundreds of meters, which was incredibly shocking to him; he never imagined that the base of the Sealing Tower would be so spacious.

His Divine Sense could only probe a very short distance, and he could only sense a strong presence of soul fire power below the Sealing Tower, but he could not locate where the Soul Fire actually was, no matter what.

He did not know what was underneath the Sealing Tower, so he didn't go down to check it out.

"I should proceed with caution!"

Duan Gujin had not expected that there would be such a large hole beneath the Sealing Tower, and now he couldn't make up his mind about whether to go down directly and see for himself what the interior of the Sealing Tower was like.

"So you want to see me? Hehe! I get it now, you're too scared to come down, aren't you?" the voice suddenly burst into loud laughter.

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had completely underestimated the residual Soul Fire of that Demon King.

"It seems that the Divine Soul of the Demon King sealed here still exists below!"

In the next moment, Duan Gujin sensed a sudden burst of a powerful cold force erupting from below. That frigid energy shot straight up from the ground, aiming directly toward his body.

Duan Gujin swiftly determined that this cold force was the same one he had sensed before; he dodged by flashing to the side just in time.

A loud boom resounded as he saw the cold force violently strike the stone wall, erupting in a deafening explosion.

"Why is it like this? Why is it a physical attack?"

Duan Gujin's face drastically changed; he previously thought that the Demon King below had completely perished.

Even if the Demon King had some remnants of soul power left, it should have only been able to launch a Divine Soul spiritual attack against him, and not likely to launch a physical attack.
