After everything was settled, the elders of the Blood Killing Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they were also aware that among these elders, there might be spies from other sects, who could potentially betray them.
To address this situation, some elders of the Blood Killing Sect also thought about strategies.
After all, there was no evidence to prove that the white spider was the guardian sent by the Upper Realm Divine Beings to seal the Flying Golden Sparrow, so they could deny it.
Once the news that the 'Mud Man' was actually the Flying Golden Sparrow sealed by the Upper Realm Divine Beings a thousand years ago spread, powerful experts from various major sects of the Jiuzhou Continent were dispatched to enter the area, secretly observing every move of the Flying Golden Sparrow.
Knowing the terrifying capabilities of the Flying Golden Sparrow, all the first-class sects of the Jiuzhou Continent sent their top experts to this area to prevent the Devil Clan of Hundred Saints Mountain from rescuing the Flying Golden Sparrow.
Originally, the place where the Flying Golden Sparrow was located was at the border between Hundred Saints Mountain and the Human Race World, which could be considered both a Human Clan region and a territory of the Hundred Saints Mountain.
If the Devil Clan of the Hundred Saints Mountain really intended to forcefully take away the Flying Golden Sparrow, they would definitely start a war with the Devil Clan of the Hundred Saints Mountain.
To prevent the Devil Clan of the Hundred Saints Mountain from forcefully taking away the Flying Golden Sparrow, all the first-class sects of the Jiuzhou Continent gathered together.
After discussing for a while, they finally decided to send experts to set up various powerful arrays there to prevent any action from the Devil Clan of the Hundred Saints Mountain.
Upon hearing this news, Duan Gujin could only pray that the combined efforts of those first-class sects of the Jiuzhou Continent would be able to eliminate the Flying Golden Sparrow and any potential rescuers from the Hundred Saints Mountain.
The situation was now out of control, which was not what he wanted to see.
"Unexpectedly, I have brought a potential calamity to the Jiuzhou Continent! Am I a calamity reborn?"
Duan Gujin was inwardly speechless, naturally he would not tell others what exactly happened, as he did not want the people of the Jiuzhou Continent to think he was a harbinger of disaster.
Besides, the people of the Jiuzhou Continent might even demand that he hand over that staff, and might even hand him over to the Flying Golden Sparrow.
"That Flying Golden Sparrow was bound to come out eventually, I just discovered it earlier than others! Now that all the top experts of the Jiuzhou Continent have emerged, those experts should have a way to deal with the Flying Golden Sparrow!"
Duan Gujin didn't think too much about it, he focused on his cultivation, diving deep and striving to enhance his cultivation.
That night, while he was practicing with the staff, he suddenly discovered that his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul within his body was under great suppression.
At first, he thought it was just his misconception.
But after multiple trials, he finally found out that his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul was being suppressed by the staff to the point where he could not even project it outward.
"What is going on here?"
Duan Gujin felt that this was definitely not normal, so, he repeatedly tried to enhance the power of his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul to see how the staff affected it.
After 15 minutes, he finally figured it all out.
"So that's it! It turns out that as long as I suppress my Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul to below the Third Level of Martial Master, the staff will not affect the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul. But if I project my Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul above the Third Level, it would suppress it! The stronger the power I project from my Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, the more severe the suppression!"
His eyes flickered, he pondered for a while, and then thought that the staff was likely previously used to suppress the Soul Power bursts of the Flying Golden Sparrow.
He could imagine that without the suppression of the staff, the Flying Golden Sparrow would be able to fully unleash its Soul Power.
"So this staff really is used to suppress the Flying Golden Sparrow!"
Duan Gujin exhaled a breath, his eyes flickering, he knew he definitely was the main culprit who released the Flying Golden Sparrow.
"It seems I really did cause trouble before!"
Duan Gujin touched his nose, unsure of what to say.
After a while, he returned to normal.
"Don't worry! That Flying Golden Sparrow should not be able to escape from there for the time being, I still have time!"
Knowing that he caused trouble, Duan Gujin practiced his cultivation even more diligently.
Everything returned to the past tranquility.
Duan Gujin knew in his heart that this tranquility was on the surface only; in reality, an extremely terrifying storm was brewing.
What he needed to do now was to make all preparations before the storm erupted.
Two days later, Duan Gujin left his residence and headed towards a nearby city to find the people who specialized in selling information there; he wanted to know the situation of that Flying Golden Sparrow these past few days.
He didn't want to waste pointless time on gathering information about the Flying Golden Sparrow; he chose to spend a lot of money to buy information from some locals who specialized in collecting it.
After leaving the Blood Killing Sect, he extended his Divine Sense and detected someone tracking him.
His Spiritual Power was strong, but he realized that the tracker's Spiritual Power was no less than his.
"Could it be that a high-level expert from the Martial Sect Realm is tracking me?"
Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brows, his mind raced, and he thought of a plan.
Thus, he deliberately slowed down his steps, wandering aimlessly in a nearby town.
As he walked, he purchased various daily necessities in that town.
The tracker, seeing Duan Gujin buying a large amount of ordinary daily necessities, was thrown into confusion, unable to understand why Duan Gujin needed so many ordinary daily necessities.
Gradually, he lowered his guard towards Duan Gujin.
Soon, he discovered that after making a round, the distance between the two of them had closed significantly.
Once the distance was close enough, Duan Gujin finally clearly saw who was tracking him.
It was a young man, about thirty years old, tall and thin with a pale complexion.
Duan Gujin locked his Divine Sense onto the young man, and quickly judged that the young man should be an Inner Sect Disciple of the Blood Killing Sect, not an elder.
Within the Blood Killing Sect, to be an elder, one's cultivation generally needs to reach at least the Martial Sect Eighth Layer.
However, the young man's cultivation was only at Martial Sect Third Level; unless given special consideration, it was unlikely for the young man to be an elder of the Blood Killing Sect.
Thus, Duan Gujin concluded that the young man should just be an Inner Sect Disciple of the Blood Killing Sect.
He was somewhat puzzled in his heart; he did not know why he was being targeted by the young man.
"Could it be that he was sent by Luoluo and Gu Tianzhen to track me?"
After thinking for a while, he felt it was highly probable that the young man was sent by Luoluo and Gu Tianzhen to monitor him.
"If Luoluo and Gu Tianzhen sent someone to kill me, they would definitely send more than one person! Could it be that the young man's task is solely to track me?"
