He understood that he was three Great Realms away from a Martial Saint, which was the difference between heaven and earth.
If he were really to eliminate a Demon Saint of Hundred Saints Mountain, even the weakest among them, it would be impossible for him.
"I didn't tell you to complete this mission now! Come find me after you have completed this mission!"
That monkey wrote.
Duan Gujin had a conversation with the monkey, but in the end, he returned without accomplishing anything.
"That monkey is too arrogant!"
Duan Gujin massaged his temples; he had no idea what the monkey was really thinking.
Logically, the monkey should know that with his current strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to find the Demon Saint's inner core.
"Is that monkey deliberately making things difficult for me?"
After pondering without success, he could only place his hopes on forging a Dark Weapon to defeat those three Inner Sect Disciples.
"I should craft a very powerful Hidden Weapon!"
His mind stirred, and many names and features of Hidden Weapon Dark Weapons flashed through his mind.
But after thinking for quite a while, he still couldn't figure out what kind of excellent Hidden Weapon Dark Weapon existed in this world.
He pondered for half the night, and finally, he came up with a Dark Weapon that was suitable for him.
"Maybe I can refine it!"
At this moment, the thought of "Ten Thousand Flying Needles" as a type of Hidden Weapon flashed through Duan Gujin's mind.
This was a type of Hidden Weapon that could instantly kill any expert below Emperor Wu.
However, to forge a Hidden Weapon Dark Weapon, on one hand, the forger needed very strong Spiritual Power, and on the other, they would also need the materials to forge the Ten Thousand Flying Needles.
After he was prepared, he wrote down all the necessary materials on a piece of paper.
The next day, he made a trip down Blood Killing Sect mountain. He went to the place where he had hidden Wu Wenhua's storage ring before.
He used his Divine Sense to enter the storage ring, wanting to see if there were any materials he needed inside. Right now, he just wanted to craft a King of Hidden Weapons, as long as it could be used.
He didn't want to die; he currently had no means to counterattack those three Inner Sect Disciples.
Moreover, he killed the darling son of Punishment Hall here. Though no one currently knows about this, if one day he exposes his identity...
The next day, when he was drowsy, his heart suddenly pounded; he sensed a strong killing aura appearing outside.
"There's killing aura!"
Moments later, he sensed a figure flashing by quickly in front of him.
His body flickered, turning into a streak of light as he rushed over.
Although the figure had left, he became somewhat restless; he knew that he had been targeted by those three Inner Sect Disciples.
"I wasn't planning to settle accounts with you! But you came to me instead!"
After a while, he took out a Long Bow from the storage ring, bent the bow, and shot three long arrows into the void ahead.
After a while, he saw someone fall in the forest ahead.
He exhaled deeply and after a moment, he arrived at the fallen person. Upon inspection of the Assassin, he found that the Assassin, after being struck with the deadly poison on the long arrows, was frozen solid.
He used his sword to lift the veiled face of the fallen Martial Artist, only to discover that this fallen Martial Artist was one of the Inner Sect Disciples that previously threatened Yan Chunxue and others.
"So it's you!"
Duan Gujin knew that the disciple he had just shot was indeed the Inner Sect Disciple who had threatened Yan Chunxue and the others before.
His mind stirred, and he shattered the thin ice on the corpse with a palm.
The thin ice on the body shattered, part of the corpse was exposed in the air.
The body quickly turned into ashes in the void.
Duan Gujin checked the ground and found that there was another storage ring there.
Meanwhile, in the living area specifically for Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect, two Martial Artists were anxiously waiting for their companion's return.
Time ticked by, and they quickly became dumbfounded; they sensed that their companion had died.
"What? He's dead?"
The two Inner Sect Disciples looked horrified. They had thought that the one who made a move earlier would easily eliminate Duan Gujin, but they didn't expect their companion to end up dead.
"How did he die?"
"How would I know?"
The two Inner Sect Disciples discussed for a while, their hearts sucking in a breath of cold air.
They came up with a possibility, thinking it very likely that there was a master protecting Duan Gujin, not allowing others to harm their companion.
After conferring for a while, they started to suspect that the incident might be related to higher-ups in the Blood Killing Sect.
Their hearts pounding, they pondered for a long time and decided that what they needed to do next was to wait.
If that Disciple really had been caught by the higher-ups of the Blood Killing Sect, then the opponent would definitely interrogate the Disciple, rather than be silent like now.
They guessed that the death of their companion was very likely caused by a master protecting Duan Gujin.
"However, this way, it seems that there is no evidence to prove that it was us who did it."
"Right, if he was killed, then there's no evidence for that guy called Duan Gujin to prove it was our doing!"
The Inner Sect Female Disciple thought of this and readily agreed with the man's statement.
"Luoluo, we'd better pretend that we don't know anything! If the higher-ups ask about it, we'll just say it's all a misunderstanding!"
"Gu Tianzhen, what I'm worried about is that the Elder Council could perform a Soul Search on us!"
The woman called Luoluo was that Inner Sect Female Disciple.
"You don't have to worry about that, my father is well-acquainted with the people in the Punishment Hall. If something really happens, I'll have my father help us!"
The man referred to by Luoluo as Gu Tianzhen was that Inner Sect Male Disciple.
"That's good!"
Luoluo and Gu Tianzhen discussed their countermeasures and then decided to act as if they were completely unaware of anything.
If something really were to happen, then they would rely on Gu Tianzhen's father to intervene and come up with a solution for them.
Meanwhile, Duan Gujin, having killed that Disciple, was rapidly reviewing strategies in his mind, considering how he should deal with the Blood Killing Sect.
"If the higher-ups of the Blood Killing Sect want to perform a Soul Search on my Divine Soul, I'll use these images to deceive them!"
Duan Gujin, having successfully fooled an elder before, felt that unless a Martial Saint Realm expert intervened, it was unlikely that any Martial Emperor Realm Martial Artist would find any issue with the images he provided, that had been tampered with.
But if it was just a Martial Emperor Realm elder making the move, it would be difficult for the opponent to detect any problems with the images he presented.
Duan Gujin found some Spiritual Medicine and secret manuals in the storage ring of that Inner Sect Disciple.
After looking through it for a while, he learned the name of the Inner Sect.
In one of the diaries, Duan Gujin found a map of Hundred Saints Mountain and another map that marked his current location, as well as the residence of Yan Chunxue and Ma Wenjing.
"So, the person just now was one of those Inner Sect Disciples! His name is Zhu Xiao!"
Duan Gujin carefully read through the records and learned that the Inner Sect Disciple he had killed was called Zhu Xiao.
And in another diary, it listed two other names. Duan Gujin then knew that one of the two was called Luoluo, and the other was Gu Tianzhen.
Based on the names, Duan Gujin deduced that the Inner Sect Female Disciple was Luoluo, and the other male Disciple was Gu Tianzhen.
"They came looking for me without me seeking them out! They're really courting death!"
Duan Gujin sneered inwardly. He was able to successfully shoot Zhu Xiao because he lacked skills in assassination, which allowed Duan Gujin to get behind him and successfully launch a surprise attack.
Although Zhu Xiao was one Great Realm stronger than Duan Gujin, Duan Gujin had far greater mastery over Spiritual Power compared to Zhu Xiao.
Thus, he successfully ambushed Zhu Xiao.
If he were to fight Zhu Xiao head-on, it would certainly take a long time.
Moreover, the victory wouldn't necessarily be his.
But having sensed Zhu Xiao's approach, he took the opportunity to ambush him.
