Zhu Ge Hongyun was shocked to see Duan Gujin and Shang Yumin talking for a long time.
"It seems that Shang Yumin must have recognized Duan Gujin's abilities!"
Zhu Ge Hongyun was overjoyed. The Jialuo Demon King had already set his sights on the Green Cloud Sect, which was absolutely great news for him.
He knew in his heart that relying solely on the strength of the Green Cloud Sect, they could not withstand the tremendously terrifying Jialuo Demon King; now, to deal with the Jialuo Demon King, many deeply hidden masters of the Qiankun Continent had revealed themselves.
Many people present shared the same thoughts as Zhu Ge Hongyun; they all knew how terrifying the Jialuo Demon King was.
If they could not unite and cooperate at this moment to deal with the Jialuo Demon King, they would be eliminated by him in the future.
Thus, everyone waited for five days inside the inn.
During these five days, they recovered their strength, bringing themselves to peak condition.
On the fifth day, Shang Yumin immediately used a Secret Technique to sense the whereabouts of the Jialuo Demon King.
Soon, she informed everyone that she had sensed the current position of the Jialuo Demon King.
"Follow me, everyone!"
Shang Yumin immediately sat on the sedan, allowing the four sedan chair bearers to carry her, and the others followed behind her.
Three hours later, they followed Shang Yumin to a swamp on the Qiankun Continent.
"Ah!"
Before they could even approach the Jialuo Demon King, they heard an angry roar coming from the Void ahead.
Everyone immediately stopped, looking ahead with guarded expressions, judging that the shout they had heard was most likely from the Jialuo Demon King.
"There's something unusual!"
Duan Gujin's eyes twinkled; he felt that the Jialuo Demon King appearing in front of them seemed to be waiting for them.
"Could it be planning to fight to the death with us?"
Duan Gujin's mind raced as he considered this possibility.
"Let's not act rashly, everyone. If the Jialuo Demon King decides to battle us here, we must not engage it in battle here; we have to avoid its sharp edge!"
Shang Yumin's eyes flashed as she spoke to the crowd.
"Right!"
On hearing Shang Yumin's words, everyone nodded.
Zhu Ge Hongyun glanced at Duan Gujin and transmitted his voice to ask, "Duan Gujin, what's the deal with the Jialuo Demon King ahead?"
"I don't know. I feel something is off with the Jialuo Demon King!"
Duan Gujin expanded his Divine Sense, intending to get a clear picture of what the Jialuo Demon King in front was doing.
However, when he transmitted his Divine Sense, after a while, he discovered a powerful Divine Sense energy barrier in the Void ahead, preventing him from getting a clear view of what was happening.
"How strange! What's going on here?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, his mind racing as he pondered why it was so.
After a while, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"I remember now, this is a Skill from the Nine Nether Dark Sea!"
Duan Gujin immediately shared his knowledge with Shang Yumin.
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Shang Yumin hastily ordered everyone to retreat at Extreme Speed.
"We should not continue forward, we must not fall into the Jialuo Demon King's trap!"
The others did not know why Shang Yumin asked them to retreat after hearing Duan Gujin's words, but they did not have any doubts about what Shang Yumin said, and they did as instructed.
The group immediately retreated hundreds of meters, and then a surging, tide-like energy rushed towards them all.
When the group sensed that unbelievably terrifying energy, their expressions dramatically changed, and they all quickly retreated further.
"What a horrifying corrosive energy!"
Duan Gujin felt the surge of terrifying corrosive energy ahead, and his heart rattled with alarm, thumping wildly.
"You all deserve to die!"
Moments later, a roar exploded from the void ahead, deafening, causing everyone's eardrums to feel extremely uncomfortable.
It wasn't until now that everyone realized how correct Duan Gujin's previous instruction for them to retreat quickly actually was.
Had they not known earlier that there was great danger ahead and continued to rush forward blindly, facing the surge of corrosive force like a tide crashing over them, they would likely have turned to ash by now.
"How terrifying the Nine Nether Dark Sea is!"
Shang Yumin inhaled sharply, immediately realizing just how right Duan Gujin's earlier warning had been.
"You won't be able to escape today!"
Just as the group thought they could successfully flee from the Jialuo Demon King's pursuit, something unexpected happened. In the void ahead, countless black spears and swords suddenly appeared.
Those black spears and swords bombarded their bodies like a torrential downpour.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed dramatically; they hastily deployed their Dark Weapons to counter the black spears and swords.
At first, Duan Gujin thought that the spears and swords shot by the Jialuo Demon King were mere illusions, but after a while, his Divine Sense accurately determined that these black swords and spears were physical entities.
"I understand now, those swords and spears are controlled by that mass of dark energy!"
After a while, Duan Gu realized why those black spears and swords could attack them.
He had not anticipated such an outcome, after all, his understanding of the Nine Nether Dark Sea and this kind of Dark Weapon was limited.
If the Nine Nether Dark Sea could not only emit extremely terrifying corrosive forces but also control regular swords and spears to strike, Duan Gujin felt it made sense within reason.
"Everyone, block it! These are real physical attacks!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
The others dared not take it lightly; when those black spears and swords approached, they judged that these were indeed physical Dark Weapons.
*swoosh swoosh swoosh!* *swoosh swoosh swoosh!*
*clang clang clang clang!*
Moments later, the sound of intense metal clanging filled the air.
The group used their Dark Weapons to fend off the attack of the black spears and swords.
After some time, they looked around and found that they had all managed to block the black swords and spears.
Before they had the chance to feel relieved, almost simultaneously, they saw countless dark clouds appearing in the void ahead.
The dark clouds, dense like fog, oppressively pressed down towards the top of their heads.
"Not good! Everyone, retreat quickly!"
A surge of alarm went through Shang Yumin's heart when she noticed that the dark cloud mass above their heads was extraordinary.
Moments later, the group looked around and found themselves surrounded by dark clouds.
"Darn it! It turns out the Jialuo Demon King was well-prepared. Why didn't he use the Nine Nether Dark Sea to deal with us before and instead chose to run? If he were really that powerful and possessed the Nine Nether Dark Sea, he could have easily wiped us out back when we were at the bottom of the sea!"
"We've been tricked!"
Many people simultaneously had the same thought flash across their minds, taking a sharp breath as their mood turned extremely tense.
