The Palace Master followed the location previously told to her by the old man and arrived at a secret stronghold of the Netherworld Sect.

At this moment, it was a dark and windy night, which, for Duan Gujin and the others, provided the perfect conditions for committing murder.

The Palace Master led Duan Gujin and over a hundred people as they infiltrated the exterior of a large mansion in a small town three hundred kilometers away from the Guanghan Heavenly Palace.

First, the Palace Master sent people to surround the mansion tightly. Then, she and Duan Gujin, along with ten other experts, leaped over the high stone wall in a single bound.

For safety, Duan Gujin released his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, which possesses an extremely astonishing Divine Sense Detection Ability.

If he were to release his Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul instead, his inspection ability would be greatly compromised.

After careful investigation, Duan Gujin discovered that there were seventeen people inside the mansion.

Among them, there were four ordinary people with low Cultivation and thirteen whose Cultivation had reached the level of a martial master.

Within the mansion, there were two underground passages, the entrances to which were highly concealed, with some very special materials obstructing others' Divine Sense Inspection.

But Duan Gujin's Spiritual Power was now extremely strong, allowing him to inspect the entrances to those underground passages.

At this time, there wasn't any movement in the courtyard; it was pitch black all around, and the place seemed to be just an ordinary residential mansion.

However, upon inspection, Duan Gujin and the others found that four people were in seclusion within those underground passages.

He realized that those four in seclusion had quite good Cultivation; they should be considered the four strongest martial artists in the mansion.

After inspecting the surroundings with her Divine Sense for a while, the Palace Master said to Duan Gujin, "Duan Gujin, come with us as we rush in. The enemies here are not strong; we should be able to capture them easily!"

"Good!"

Duan Gujin nodded, as he had also inspected that the Cultivation of those martial artists was not strong, and they should be easy to deal with.

Thus, he agreed with the Palace Master.

As a result, they moved forward about five meters.

Suddenly, a dangerous intuition flashed through Duan Gujin's mind.

With a wave of his right hand, he quickly signaled the Palace Master to stop advancing.

"Stop!"

Seeing Duan Gujin signal for her to stop, the Palace Master knew he must have sensed danger.

Therefore, she instructed the others to stop as well.

The Palace Master extended her Divine Sense, carefully inspecting the situation in all directions.

At first, she didn't feel anything amiss ahead.

But after a while, she indeed felt that something was off nearby.

"There is truly danger ahead!"

The Palace Master quickly informed the others through a secret transmission, telling them to be ready to fight at any moment.

"The enemy is nearby!"

As soon as her voice message was transmitted, suddenly, a burst of cold laughter erupted from the void ahead, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

"Since you've all come, don't even think of escaping!"

A series of swift sounds of breaking through the air immediately followed, and then four figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

Although the four people were masked and dressed in identical black clothes, Duan Gujin determined from the Primordial Power they were radiating that they were all high-level experts of Martial Sect Level.

Duan Gujin's brows furrowed slightly; he genuinely could not comprehend why he had failed to detect the presence of those four Martial Sect Level masters previously, leaving him confused and puzzled.

"Turns out there are four Martial Sect Level masters! I really don't understand how they managed to evade my Divine Sense Inspection before."

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered uncertainly, but he felt no fear in his heart.

He knew that the Palace Master had brought more than a dozen Martial Sect Level masters here, and in terms of strength, they should far exceed the four Martial Sect Level masters before him.

But what puzzled him was that he simply couldn't understand how those four Martial Sect Level masters could appear before him so undetectably.

He had previously used the Evil Eye to survey his surroundings; he was confident that the combination of his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul and the Evil Eye greatly enhanced his Divine Sense Detection Ability, making it much stronger than the other Martial Sect Level masters present.

Yet, for some reason, he had been previously unable to detect the existence of the four Martial Sect Level masters before him, completely overturning his understanding and leaving him utterly unable to comprehend why his Divine Sense Inspection could suddenly fail.

"Are you from Guanghan Heavenly Palace, are you the Palace Master Huang Lingyu?"

One of the Martial Sect Level masters scrutinized the Palace Master carefully and exclaimed in terror.

Huang Lingyu, the Palace Master, let out a cold laugh and said, "It seems you know quite a bit about me!"

The four Martial Sect Level masters projected their Divine Sense, inspecting their surroundings.

Their expressions changed drastically as they quickly realized they were being thoroughly surrounded.

They had not noticed that they had been encircled; they had come out together only after sensing the emergence of powerful auras nearby.

In fact, they didn't know how many they were surrounded by.

But now, with their Divine Senses extended and scanning the environment, they learned that they were surrounded by several times more enemies than their own side, which made their scalps tingle with horror.

Moreover, the newcomers were from Guanghan Heavenly Palace; they immediately thought that their identities must have been exposed!

"All the spies you planted in Guanghan Heavenly Palace have been eliminated. Surprised, aren't you? Sect Master Han Zhanyi is already dead, and the father of Han Zhanyi, the former Sect Master of Netherworld Sect, has also been beheaded by us! You surrender!"

Huang Lingyu stated coldly.

On hearing Huang Lingyu's words, all four Netherworld Sect elders gasped, surmising that the other side was probably not deceiving them.

Although the Netherworld Sect was rich in talent, so far, only the father of Han Zhanyi had successfully infiltrated Guanghan Heavenly Palace.

In this world, except for the father of Han Zhanyi and Han Zhanyi himself, nobody else in the Netherworld Sect knew the purpose of the four elders hiding here.

The four of them were very clear that just as they could plant spies in Guanghan Heavenly Palace, the opposite party could very well plant spies in the Netherworld Sect.

Now that their whereabouts were exposed, it meant that the former Sect Master must have indeed been captured by the enemy.

"What do we do?"

The hearts of the four Martial Sect Level masters started thumping wildly; they didn't hesitate for long and immediately turned around to flee.

But it was already too late; Huang Lingyu and the other Guanghan Heavenly Palace elders had them completely surrounded.

After a battle, one was killed and three were wounded, with the injured trio eventually captured by Huang Lingyu.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he asked the three captured individuals, "Where exactly were you hiding just now?"

"Right over there!"

One of the Martial Sect Level masters said.

"Lead the way!"

Duan Gujin remained deeply puzzled as to why the four Martial Sect Level masters had previously been able to hide without being discovered by him.

If he could not unravel this mystery, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.
