"Everyone, protect the Young Master!"

At this moment, an elder transmitted a secret message to three other elders.

Soon after, three middle-aged men whose strength was at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer appeared to guard the Young Master's side.

Duan Gujin's Spiritual Power was extraordinary; he heard the elder's covert transmission.

"Could it be that the person inside the palanquin is the Young Master of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce?"

He didn't know much about the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce; he only knew that it was the largest commerce chamber in the Jiuzhou Continent.

He released his Divine Sense, inspecting the strength of the four elders guarding the Young Master and realized they were not particularly strong. A thought flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that the person currently in the palanquin is not the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce's Young Master? Or could 'Young Master' merely be a surname?"

Duan Gujin was uncertain; he could only deduce that the person in the palanquin did not hold a high position within the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce.

If the person inside had a very high status in the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, then at least some of the elders guarding him should have been experts at the Martial Emperor Realm, not merely Masters of the Martial Sect.

Duan Gujin did not ponder too deeply; he quickly took out a long arrow from his storage ring and placed it into an Elixir Medicine Bottle containing Hell Ice Flowers.

Afterward, he put the Elixir Medicine Bottle back into the storage ring and drew his bow with another arrow.

He extended his Divine Sense and soon locked onto a Blood Crow among a flock of crows.

Even though there were many crows, for him with strong telekinesis, finding that Blood Crow was truly too easy, just like searching for a firefly in the darkness.

Whoosh!

Duan Gujin, having locked onto the Blood Crow in the sky, shot out an arrow at great speed.

The arrow was as quick as lightning, emitting a sharp whistling sound as it swiftly aimed at the Blood Crow identified by his Divine Sense.

"Caw!"

After being shot by Duan Gujin's long arrow, the Blood Crow let out a terribly pitiful scream and fell from the sky.

When its body hit the ground, the ice encasing it shattered, and its physical body turned to ashes, vanishing without a trace, leaving behind only a stain of blood on the ground.

Seeing Duan Gujin hit a crow, others thought it very likely he had hit the Blood Crow.

Likewise, they shot arrows at the Blood Crows they had locked on with their Divine Sense.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In less than the time it takes for ten breaths, the martial artists released over three hundred arrows, but all failed; they did not hit the Blood Crows in the sky.

A short distance away, merely a kilometer from there, the middle-aged man controlling the Blood Crows hastily made them fly higher, with a large flock of ordinary crows underneath.

Seeing the arrangement of the crows in the sky, Duan Gujin knew the Blood Crow Demon must be using these ordinary crows to protect the Blood Crow.

"I hadn't expected the Blood Crow Demon to use this tactic! This means the Blood Crow Demon is nearby!"

He inhaled sharply. After a quick thought, he began to shout loudly.

"Everyone, be cautious; the controller behind those Blood Crows is nearby! Let's spread out and search earnestly!"

Others, seeing Duan Gujin eliminate one of their crows while they had missed, started to believe what Duan Gujin said.

They immediately dispersed, some martial artists extending their Divine Sense, earnestly searching for the Blood Crow Demon.

The person inside the palanquin, seeing the crows in the sky gather in a way he had never seen before, knew well these were no ordinary crows; perhaps these crows would exhibit some shocking action next.

Thus, he stepped out of the palanquin.

Duan Gujin saw a fat young man stepping out of the sedan chair, his Divine Sense emanating outward to inspect the young man.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly as he detected a peculiar energy within the young man's body, an energy that did not originate from the young man's cultivation power.

Duan Gujin discovered that the energy contained within the young man was an Alien Energy, which not only failed to enhance the young man's strength but would also cause severe damage to his body and even corrode it.

His eyelid twitched as he called out to the young man, "Whoever you are, you should stay inside and rest. Your body can't stand the random use of Primordial Power!"

The young man looked towards Duan Gujin, his brows slightly furrowed.

He had inquired earlier and knew that Duan Gujin was an adventurer they had recruited for this mission, not a member of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce.

He thought to himself that Duan Gujin should not know about the Alien Energy within his body.

But now the other party seemed to recognize the Alien Energy in his body at a glance and knew that he couldn't use Primordial Power.

The other's ability made him feel a newfound respect for Duan Gujin.

"Young Master, please go back inside! It's dangerous out here!"

An elder responsible for protecting the young man hurriedly said.

The Young Master immediately told the elder, "You, quickly call that man named Duan Gujin over here, I have something to ask him!"

"Understood!" The elder immediately went to carry out the order.

After a short while, the elder approached Duan Gujin.

"Our Young Master requests your presence; our Young Master wishes to inquire about a few matters!"

"Oh!"

Duan Gujin's gaze flashed, feeling it necessary to speak with the Young Master.

After all, only he knew the Blood Crow Demon that they were likely to face next.

How formidable the Blood Crow Demon truly was, he had previously only heard from others unintentionally.

Should the Blood Crow Demon's strength be formidable, he felt it was necessary to work together with this team to defeat the Blood Crow Demon.

"I, Duan Gujin, have the honor of meeting the Young Master!"

Approaching the sedan, Duan Gujin politely inquired.

"Duan Gujin, I want to ask you, how did you know there was something wrong with my body?"

The young man asked eagerly.

"I conducted a Divine Sense Inspection and detected the Alien Energy within your body. Generally, when a Martial Artist's body contains unassimilable Alien Energy, it indicates that the Martial Artist has been invaded by an Alien Energy that cannot be expelled. Hence, I knew something was wrong with your body, and you definitely cannot use Primordial Power."

"Is it that simple?"

The Young Master asked doubtfully.

"Of course, isn't it so?"

Duan Gujin retorted.

After hearing Duan Gujin's words, the Young Master found himself without doubts.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you an Alchemist?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, intuiting the reason the young man doubted him was because of his current identity as an adventurer of low social status.

He exhaled and said, "I am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Blood Killing Sect. I joined your team only to test myself, to ultimately level up to the Martial Sect Realm. I have already reached the Ninth Layer of the martial master! My Alchemy is equivalent to the standard of a Fifth-grade Alchemist!"

"So it is!"

The young man began to believe Duan Gujin's words after listening to him.
