Duan Gujin knew they had no chance of catching up to Cao Wentian.

"Where did that Cao Wentian get so many treasures from?"

He couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking that Cao Wentian must have obtained a lot of treasures.

"Sect Master Lie, let others find him. Tie Yi and I will head back first!"

Duan Gujin contemplated for a moment before finally saying this to Lie Lei.

"Alright, Duan Gujin, I must tell you that you should take better care of your body and control yourself more in your daily life!"

Lie Lei slightly nodded in response.

"Control what?"

Duan Gujin frowned and asked.

"Haha, you know what I mean, don't play dumb in front of me!"

Lie Lei suddenly puffed out his beard, admonishing Duan Gujin not to indulge too much in the company of women, lest it harm his body.

A dark line of frustration appeared on Duan Gujin's forehead as he finally understood why Lie Lei's gaze at him was so strange before—it turned out he had mistaken his relationship with Tie Yi as a romantic one.

"It's not like that between her and me!"

Duan Gujin hurriedly explained.

"Don't explain to me. To explain is to cover up, to cover up is to admit the truth!"

Lie Lei insisted that Duan Gujin and Tie Yi were in a romantic relationship, leaving Duan Gujin without any effective rebuttal.

"Well then, Sect Lie, tell me what should we do next!"

Duan Gujin asked Lie Lei to find a way to locate Cao Wentian.

"Cao Wentian's escape techniques are formidable. I can only send more people to search for him. Besides that, we might have to resort to the strength of Guanghan Heavenly Palace," replied Lie Lei.

"Yes, we need to utilize the power of Guanghan Heavenly Palace to find Cao Wentian as soon as possible. Only by eliminating Cao Wentian can the calamity of the Qiankun Continent be considered over!"

"Right!"

Lie Lei's eyes flashed, realizing the truth in Duan Gujin's words.

Cao Wentian's methods were too terrifying. If allowed to continue growing, the future of the Qiankun Continent would be in jeopardy.

Thinking back to the last time, when they were transported to the Fire Cloud Continent by an array arranged by Cao Wentian, they all nearly lost their lives there, which left them trembling in fear.

"Last time, we were lucky, and thanks to Duan Gujin solving all the problems, we escaped that disaster! But without Duan Gujin, we would have all perished on the Fire Cloud Continent!"

With this in mind, Lie Lei knew he had to quickly find a way to eliminate Cao Wentian.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he said, "Sect Master Lie, you must prepare more Fire Attribute treasures for you and your men. To deal with Cao Wentian, it's enough to know that he is related to the Netherworld Dark Clan!"

"I will keep that in mind!"

Lie Lei connected all the incidents that had happened before and realized that Cao Wentian's weakness was the same as the Netherworld Dark Clan's.

"Now, for us, the only good news is that Cao Wentian has not yet reached the Martial Sect Realm. If his cultivation breaks through to the Martial Sect Realm, then our troubles will grow significantly!"

"Yes! So, please, Sect Master Lie, make sure you find him as soon as possible!"

Although Cao Wentian had escaped, Duan Gujin felt that this menace must be dealt with swiftly, otherwise, if left to grow, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Upon returning to the Green Cloud Sect, Duan Gujin started to refine some Elixir Pills.

During these days in the Fire Cloud Continent, he had used many Elixir Pills; he needed to replenish them.

He had already handed over the task of searching for Cao Wentian to Lie Lei and others, and thereafter, he began his seclusion.

Soon, he was completely immersed in the state of closed-door cultivation.

During his seclusion, Tie Yi received the personal teachings of Zhuge Hongyun and learned a lot of useful knowledge.

Time flowed like water, passing swiftly.

Three months had passed, and Duan Gujin's cultivation had gradually broken through to Martial Master Fifth Level.

"What is Cao Wentian doing? Could he have just vanished into the vast sea of people?"

Duan Gujin found it very strange; he hadn't expected Cao Wentian to have hidden for more than three months without any trace.

While he anxiously waited, Lie Lei finally brought some news.

"We've found a blood-colored altar! This is a very high altar! Duan Gujin, come with me to check out the altar, the people from Guanghan Heavenly Palace refer to it as the Blood-colored Altar!"

Lie Lei said excitedly.

Upon hearing the news, Duan Gujin quickly joined Lie Lei and others to the discovered Blood-colored Altar.

Once he stepped onto the top of the Blood-colored Altar, Duan Gujin deduced that the altar he was seeing was indeed capable of being used for teleportation.

"This is an altar, and it is one that can connect to other continents!"

After investigating for a while, Duan Gujin finally drew a conclusion.

"I've seen a similar blood-colored altar before!"

Duan Gujin never expected that he would find a Blood-colored Altar in the Qiankun Continent. As his Divine Sense examined deep within the Blood-colored Altar, he concluded that the altar he was seeing wasn't made by the Netherworld Dark Clan.

"Could this be Cao Wentian's scheme? Your people haven't been teleported away, have they?"

Duan Gujin quickly inquired of Cao Wentian.

He knew that to locate Cao Wentian's whereabouts, he couldn't miss any trace of evidence.

"It won't happen this time, the people from Guanghan Heavenly Palace have tested it out and know that this is a Blood-colored Altar, which can transport us to other continents! Our biggest uncertainty now is just not knowing where this Blood-colored Altar will send us, the people from Guanghan Heavenly Palace have found traces of Cao Wentian here before. So, they speculate that Cao Wentian has already activated the Blood-colored Altar, maybe he has already transported himself to another continent.!"

Hearing this, Duan Gujin's brows furrowed tightly, a flicker of doubt passing through his mind.

He had just been tricked by Cao Wentian using the Netherworld Wormhole, and he certainly didn't want to be hoodwinked by the other party again.

"What else have the people from Guanghan Heavenly Palace discovered?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"They found Five-Colored Heavenly Crystals within the Array, and after analysis, they concluded that Cao Wentian must have used the Five-Colored Heavenly Crystal!"

Hearing this, Duan Gujin's brows furrowed tightly.

"So there are no more Five-Colored Heavenly Crystals left inside the Array now, right?"

"Yes, they're gone, the people from Guanghan Heavenly Palace suspect that the Five-Colored Heavenly Crystal was certainly taken by Cao Wentian!"

"That means we definitely can't catch up with him now?"

"Yes, the people from Guanghan Heavenly Palace deduced that Cao Wentian has already entered another continent through the Blood-colored Altar!"

Lie Lei said.

Upon hearing this news, Duan Gujin slightly knit his brows—it was neither particularly good nor bad news for him.

After all, their great adversary Cao Wentian had not been eliminated yet, and now the enemy had fled to another continent while they could only stand by helplessly.

"Then does Guanghan Heavenly Palace have any Five-Colored Heavenly Crystals?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"The people from Guanghan Heavenly Palace told us that they don't have any Five-Colored Heavenly Crystals!"

"It seems that we have no way of entering another continent through that Blood-colored Altar!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air, then he and Lie Lei arrived at the interior of the Array at the Blood-colored Altar.

When he saw the Blood-colored Altar, he immediately gasped in shock.

"Good heavens! This is the Blood Killing Sect's Blood-colored Altar!"

Recalling what the Sect Master of Guanghan Heavenly Palace had said, Duan Gujin finally understood.

"In the past, the Blood Killing Sect and Guanghan Heavenly Palace had a common enemy, so for the purpose of dealing with that common foe, these two fundamentally different sects cooperated temporarily! So that's how it was!"

In other continents, the Blood Killing Sect could be considered a Major Sect, and their method of cultivation was very unique, differing greatly from other sects.

Therefore, the Blood Killing Sect wasn't considered a Main Sect in other continents, and was even regarded as a nefarious sect.

Fortunately, the Blood Killing Sect didn't cause any bloodshed, so the martial artists of other continents didn't campaign against this sect, letting it survive.

What made the Blood Killing Sect special was that they could utilize the Evil Qi emitted from their dwelling place to enhance their own Cultivation.

Such a type of Evil Qi, if practiced by ordinary martial artists, would lead to either death or severe harm to their Body and Divine Soul.
