Duan Gujin observed for a while and found that the Demon King Ancient Corpse was not as powerful as he had previously imagined.

"Thank goodness, this Demon King Ancient Corpse is not very strong!"

Like him, the Palace Master also noticed that the strength of the Demon King Skeleton was not strong, probably at the Martial Master Realm.

"If we join forces, we should be able to defeat it!"

The Palace Master secretly transmitted her voice to Duan Gujin.

"Alright!"

Duan Gujinzhao nodded vigorously to the Palace Master.

The aura on the Demon King Ancient Corpse burst forth again, instantly turning the surrounding seawater into ice.

The frozen seawater did not trap it; its body charged directly towards Duan Gujin and the Palace Master.

Its movement speed was extremely fast, just like a Flood Dragon swimming at the bottom of the sea.

Duan Gu's brows slightly furrowed, he felt that the Demon King Ancient Corpse was rather unusual.

As its body was about to approach Duan Gujin and the Palace Master, countless Ice Dragons burst forth from it.

Those Ice Dragons, each only a hundred meters long, rushed towards them like a series of water snakes.

"Devil Shattering Sealing Formation!"

Upon seeing those Ice Dragons, the Palace Master cast the unique Martial Skill of the Guanghan Heavenly Palace, the Devil Shattering Sealing Formation, towards them.

Bang bang bang!

A series of loud noises followed, and Duan Gujin heard intense explosions in the Void, witnessing all those Ice Dragons utterly destroyed by the Palace Master's sword moves.

He let out a breath, his eyes and Divine Sense both closely focused on the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

"Now, let the Palace Master fight it for a while, and I'll closely observe from the side!"

When Duan Gujinzhao saw countless Ice Dragons burst forth from the Demon King Ancient Corpse once again, he decided to watch carefully.

The Palace Master was a Nine-star Martial Artist; her strength was entirely above that of Duan Gujin. If she could not defeat the Demon King Ancient Corpse, it would be even more impossible for Duan Gujin.

He first informed the Palace Master of his plan via voice transmission, and once she agreed, he retreated to one side to carefully observe the battle between the Demon King Ancient Corpse and the Palace Master.

The Demon King Ancient Corpse fought with the Palace Master for over a hundred rounds, after which the Palace Master, somewhat fatigued, quickly retreated with Duan Gujin.

"I never expected that, although the Demon King Ancient Corpse wasn't very strong, it could last for so long!"

The Palace Master still felt a residual fear from their previous engagement with the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

"What did you observe?"

The Palace Master inquired of Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin said, "That Demon King Ancient Corpse replenishes energy by drawing on the Cold Energy from underground. If the Palace Master can sever its connection with the Cold Energy underground, you have a chance to defeat it!"

"Right, you're absolutely correct!"

The Palace Master had also taken notice of this detail earlier, which is why she quickly fled the scene of the Demon King Ancient Corpse with Duan Gujin.

She hurriedly swallowed Elixir Pills to quickly recover the Primordial Power she had expended.

Half a day later, the Palace Master finally fully recovered her strength.

Once again, she took Duan Gujin to confront the Demon King Ancient Corpse, entering into another bout of combat with it.

"I hope you don't run away like last time, cowards!"

Upon seeing Duan Gujin and the Palace Master reappear, the Demon King Ancient Corpse cursed in frustration.

"Why don't you dare to come after us? Come on and chase us down and kill us!" the Palace Master retorted angrily.

"Damn it! Don't you run away later!"

The Demon King Ancient Corpse shouted in anger.

"If we run away later, why don't you just come and chase us down? If you're brave enough, come kill us!"

Hearing their exchange of taunts, Duan Gujin was at a loss for words, not wanting to get caught up in their quarrel.

"Kill!"

The Demon King Ancient Corpse's rage exploded, instantly unleashing countless Ice Dragons.

Those Ice Dragons tore through the Void like arrows on the string, rushing rapidly towards Duan Gujin and the Palace Master.

"Hahaha! Little thing, is this the only trick you know?"

The Palace Master laughed derisively, having already seen through the fatal weakness of the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

First, the Demon King Ancient Corpse could not leave the spring vent emitting the Cold Energy.

Second, the Demon King Ancient Corpse could only launch Ice Dragons at her and Duan Gujin.

Constrained by the spring vent, the Demon King Ancient Corpse was unable to mount a close-range attack on them.

The Palace Master engaged in long-range probing because she was unsure of the Demon King Ancient Corpse's true strength and Skills.

However, this resulted in a standoff where neither side could best the other, resorting to a war of words.

"Devil Shattering Sealing Formation!"

And the Palace Master employed the same Skill to annihilate all the Ice Dragons released by the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them would be able to stand off against each other for a long time.

But the Palace Master did not want to have a prolonged confrontation with the Demon King Ancient Corpse; her intention was to annihilate it.

Only by annihilating the Demon King Ancient Corpse could she remove a significant concern.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

This time, the Palace Master and the Demon King Ancient Corpse exchanged blows for over a hundred rounds, until after the Palace Master's Primordial Power was depleted, she then exited the range of their battle.

"I hate this!"

Seeing her opponent leave with such demeanor again, the Demon King Ancient Corpse was so angered that its whole body began to hurt severely.

The Palace Master found a safe corner again, sat cross-legged, and started to regulate her breathing and recover her Primordial Power.

"Have you thought of a way?"

The Palace Master asked.

Duan Gujin replied: "We should blow up that spring!"

"Yes, that's what I thought! I have a method, but it's somewhat risky. To carry out this plan, I need you to take action!"

The Palace Master said.

"Please enlighten me, Palace Master. What is your plan?"

Duan Gujin instantly became eager, guessing that the Palace Master was likely asking him to sneak close to the Demon King Ancient Corpse and then to blow up the spring.

But if the Demon King Ancient Corpse saw him not by the Palace Master's side, it would surely suspect that he was lurking nearby.

Once the Demon King Ancient Corpse became alert, it would be very difficult for him to find an opportunity to destroy the spring.

The Palace Master said: "I have a decoy; I can make it look quite similar to you in appearance!"

So, the Palace Master took out a decoy, almost the same height as Duan Gujin, from her storage ring.

She had Duan Gujin take off his clothes and put his freshly changed clothes on the decoy.

Then she took out a piece of paper from the storage ring and placed Duan Gujin's facial features onto the paper.

After a while, she cast a spell to infuse the paper, and then she put the paper on the decoy's face.

She hurried to cast a spell, injecting Primordial Power into the decoy.

After a while, the decoy's appearance had transformed to resemble Duan Gujin's features by seventy percent.

Seeing the change in the decoy, Duan Gujin gasped in astonishment.

He quickly praised: "Palace Master, your method is really excellent!"

Duan Gujin had now understood what the Palace Master meant to do; she would carry the decoy with her to confuse the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

On the other hand, Duan Gujin would silently approach the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

His next task was to await the opportunity, and once he found the right moment, he would decisively act and destroy the spring.

If he could block the spring, that would stop the Demon King Ancient Corpse from continuing to absorb the energy within the Cold Energy.

Once the Demon King Ancient Corpse could no longer replenish itself, its strength would gradually be weakened.

In this way, the Palace Master would have the chance to defeat it thoroughly.

"Palace Master, I am willing to follow your instructions!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath and answered, ready to risk everything.

"That's good, rest up for now! I've already put on quite a show before, I think the Demon King Ancient Corpse won't suspect this decoy isn't you! You only get one shot, and if you fail, you must retreat immediately, do not engage with the Demon King Ancient Corpse in any conflict!"

The Palace Master said sternly.

"I understand!" Duan Gujin nodded vigorously and acknowledged.

Time trickled by, and once the Palace Master's Primordial Power had been restored, she set out with the decoy.

Just like before, she started off by provoking the Demon King Ancient Corpse with her words, then they began to fight fiercely.

At this moment, Duan Gujin, having concealed his aura, cautiously approached the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

He lurked for about 15 minutes, then he stopped at a distance of more than ten meters from the Demon King Ancient Corpse.

"So cold!"

Duan Gujin inhaled sharply, realizing that the seawater nearby the Demon King Ancient Corpse had frozen.

He extended his Divine Sense to scout the surroundings, and soon, he had determined his path forward.

He knew he must be extremely careful, as if his body were to be frozen by the Cold Energy, it would be very difficult for him to free himself in time.

The moment his body was ensnared by the Cold Energy, it would be the most dangerous for him; it would be easy for the Demon King Ancient Corpse to discover his presence.

Just as Duan Gujin advanced another three meters, he felt a slight noise from his body as it started to freeze.

"Damn!"

His mind raced, estimating the distance between himself and the Demon King Ancient Corpse, and he felt that it was still quite far, making it very easy for the Demon King Ancient Corpse to block his attack if he acted now.
