If they could report the discovery of these Wood Attribute Energy Barytes to the Sect Master of Blood Killing Sect, they might receive a very substantial reward.

Naturally, they felt very happy about this unexpected gain.

Therefore, they decided to leave an elder, some disciples, and some martial artists stationed here to prevent others from taking over.

The people stationed here would also deliberately leave some special marks near the vein to indicate that it belongs to the Blood Killing Sect.

Even if other sect's martial artists enter this area and compete for the vein, they would have a justified claim.

Faced with such a large vein, the people of the Blood Killing Sect decided to monopolize it.

Even some elders contemplated sending the two hundred-plus martial artists they had recruited to their deaths.

This way, there would be no outsiders privy to their secret here.

But that elder soon thought that he should make use of the two hundred cannon fodders, letting them die with value!

After a while, the originally gathered team split up, part of the martial artists stayed near the vein to guard it.

The other part, along with Elder Wan, continued to move forward as they sought treasures of the Demon Saint.

Elder Wan naturally felt exceptionally happy about this unexpected gain.

After all, it was a considerable wealth for the Blood Killing Sect.

As the team advanced a certain distance, they discovered a very large black hole in a valley ahead.

The black hole was enormous, about ten kilometers long and two kilometers wide.

As they approached the black hole, everyone felt a spine-chilling aura faintly emanating from it.

Elder Wan threw a torch directly into the black hole, and everyone stared intently at the torch.

The torch continuously fell and eventually disappeared into the darkness of the black hole.

"My goodness! How could there be such a huge black hole here?"

Elder Wan was filled with shock as he felt there were many abnormalities here.

He had been to this place before, but he had never discovered the black hole he was seeing now.

Elder Wan approached the edge of the black hole and released his Divine Sense, carefully probing what kind of terrifying power was being emitted from within.

After a while, his brow furrowed tightly as he felt an extremely terrifying Dark Attribute Power emanating from the black hole, sending shivers down his spine.

"How could it be that there seems to be a very powerful demon beneath this black hole?"

Elder Wan originally wanted to go down and check, but realizing he was still a considerable distance from what lay beneath the black hole, and the energy emitted from below was utterly frightening, he knew there must be a terrifyingly powerful member of the Devil Clan below.

If the strength of the Devil Clan member in the black hole was mediocre, Elder Wan might not be frightened.

But if it was a true Demon Saint Realm being below, then he would only be facing death.

After much thought, Elder Wan decided against entering the black hole to explore.

He knew he didn't have any Martial Saint Realm masters in the team he was leading; he couldn't take the risk.

The aura emitted from below was so strong that even he, being at Martial Emperor Realm, was terrified, and definitely much higher than his current cultivation.

For safety's sake, Elder Wan decided not to take the risk.

Thus, Elder Wan led the team to continue moving forward.

After a while, they reunited with another team from the Blood Killing Sect.

The elder from that team told Elder Wan that they had not found any valuable treasures during their journey.

After discussing, they felt that there might be treasures of the Demon Saint beneath the black hole.

"Let's wait here for news from others."

So, the two elders of Blood Killing Sect sent out signals, deciding to wait here for other teams from the Blood Killing Sect.

Three hours later, another team from the Blood Killing Sect arrived.

After merging with Elder Wan and others, this team's elder shared the intelligence they had gathered.

After deliberating, the three elders realized that their three different teams hadn't found any valuable clues here.

"The only possible clue for treasure is now below this black hole!"

Discussing together, the three elders felt that the black hole ahead was the most likely place to contain treasures.

The black hole gave them a chilling fear from the depths of their hearts, so the three elders, including Elder Wan, still hesitated to act rashly.

They planned to wait for two more teams to gather before moving together.

Half a day passed, and finally two more teams arrived.

The five elders, after deliberating, felt that the black hole ahead was indeed very likely to contain the treasures of the Demon Saint.

So, the five elders unanimously decided that they should enter the black hole to explore.

Thus, the five Elder Zhangs decided to first use ropes to lower some people down to test how deep the black hole was.

The five elders selected over fifty people, allowing these fifty people to slide down using five different ropes.

After those fifty people went down, they informed those above that they had discovered a massive underground cave below, which branched off into many tunnels in all directions.

Hearing this, the five elders immediately became excited.

"So it is, so it is."

Then, four elders decided to personally go down to explore, while one elder was left above to guard against any interference.

They also left a group of people to guard this location to prevent the Devil Clan or other sects from sabotaging their operation.

To find out exactly what was under the black hole, Duan Gujin, along with Tie Yi, followed Elder Wan into the underground black hole.

What puzzled Duan Gujin was that as he entered the underground black hole, the ominous premonition he had felt earlier had significantly weakened.

A thought quickly crossed his mind.

"Could it be that my previous premonition of danger wasn't coming from this underground black hole, but from somewhere else?"

Without pondering further, Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense.

After a while, he discovered traces of human excavation around the underground cave.

Although these signs of excavation were very rudimentary, he was sure that the surroundings of the cave had indeed been manually excavated.

The four elders entering the underground cave repeatedly cautioned the martial artists below to be extremely careful.
