Duan Gujin slightly nodded, completely agreeing with Shi Potian's analysis.

"Why would there be a Demon Saint Level Demon Stone here?"

This thought quickly flashed through his mind.

He knew that on the Jiuzhou Continent, becoming a Demon Saint was extremely difficult, not to mention, what he had just seen was merely a Demon Stone.

"Logically speaking, if a Demon Stone awakens Divine Wisdom, it should transform into a humanoid form. But the Demon Stone I just saw still maintained its rock shape, could it be that the Demon Stone I saw wasn't a real Demon Stone?"

Various thoughts quickly passed through Duan Gujin's mind, but no matter how long he pondered, he couldn't figure out the reason.

"Do you want to go back to that Blood Lake we just visited and work together to thoroughly investigate that Demon Saint Demon Stone?"

Shi Potian asked.

"That Blood Snake might be difficult to deal with."

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he spoke.

Shi Potian laughed, "I used to be alone, and it was hard to carry out my perfect plan, but now that you are here, I think my previous plan has a chance."

Hearing this, Duan Gujin's expression slightly changed, he asked, "Brother Shi, what is your plan?"

"I have a Puppet with me, but to make this Puppet effective, the controller must constantly provide it with some Primordial Power. I had approached that Blood Lake before, wanting to enter it, but I was alone at that time, and there were numerous Blood Snakes, all of them powerful, and I couldn't execute my plan. Now that you are here, I feel that I can finally carry out my plan!"

Hearing Shi Potian's explanation, Duan Gujin suddenly realized.

"So this is Shi Potian's plan to use me as a pawn!"

His eyes darted around, and after thinking it over, he felt that he should be able to safely escape the pursuit of the Blood Snakes.

"Sure! I am very interested! Brother Shi, how do you plan to enter that Blood Lake?"

Duan Gujin asked curiously.

"I naturally have a way. Let's head there now!"

Shi Potian said with a smile spreading across his face.

Duan Gujin observed his expression and felt a strange sensation. He felt that Shi Potian might not be very reliable and feared that he might be deceiving him.

"This Shi Potian is cunning, I must not be fooled by him!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and his mind raced, contemplating several possibilities.

"Let's set off!"

Shi Potian immediately led Duan Gujin towards the Blood Lake.

Moments later, they arrived at the edge of the Blood Lake.

Upon seeing the Blood Lake again, Duan Gujin's expression changed drastically.

The Blood Lake he saw now was completely different from the one he had seen before; the surface of the lake now was covered with a layer of blood-red mist, and the lake's surface had become clearer, moving away from the blood-red hue.

Releasing his Divine Sense, after a moment, he realized that his Divine Sense could now reach further distances.

"So that's it, the Gathering Magic Array inside this Blood Lake has failed!"

His eyes flashed, realizing that the Blood Lake probably wouldn't be the same as before.

Unless, that Ninth Level Martial Emperor Blood Snake and its subordinates re-apply a Gathering Magic Array here.

"Great! The Array here has disappeared!"

Shi Potian's Divine Sense swept around, and he roughly understood the situation.

"Brother Shi, you said you had been here before, why didn't you destroy the Array here at that time?"

Duan Gujin was filled with doubts.

"I didn't see that Demon Stone earlier, and I thought this was a gathering place for Demon Cultivators. Why would I destroy the Gathering Magic Array here? Moreover, Blood Snakes were everywhere at the time, and I didn't see any Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruits. All the good stuff happened to you; you not only ate the Blood Snakes' Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruits but also saw that Demon Saint Demon Stone."

Shi Potian replied.

"So that's how it is!"

Shi Potian's answer resolved the doubts in Duan Gujin's mind.

Duan Gujin knew Shi Potian was not an easy person, and he was always vigilant towards him.

While they were observing, suddenly, numerous bubbles emerged on the surface of the Blood Lake.

Moments later, several huge and powerful Blood Snakes appeared on the surface of the lake.

The leader was the Ninth-layered Martial Emperor Blood Snake that had just left.

Seeing Duan Gujin and Shi Potian appear again enraged it to no end.

"You despicable humans of the Human Clan, what are you doing here?"

The Blood Snake roared furiously, sending a bone-chilling murderous intent towards Duan Gujin and Shi Potian.

"That Blood Snake, I ask you, do you know how that Demon Stone got here?"

Shi Potian asked.

"What does it have to do with you? If not for you, how could that Demon Stone have escaped?"

Thinking about what had just occurred, the Blood Snake grew even more irate.

In its mind, it believed that if Duan Gujin hadn't destroyed the Gathering Magic Array here previously, the Demon Stone wouldn't have been able to break free from the Sealing Array it set up on the Blood Lake.

These two humans were the culprits.

The pupils of the Blood Snake suddenly contracted, and it immediately ordered its subordinates to join it in attacking Duan Gujin and Shi Potian.

"Kill!"

The Blood Snake shouted, and it along with its group of Blood Snakes flapped their wings, all charging towards Duan Gujin and Shi Potian.

Suddenly, Shi Potian pulled Duan Gujin, rapidly retreating backwards.

Duan Gujin, puzzled, looked at Shi Potian, thinking to himself, hadn't Shi Potian said earlier that he would use him as cannon fodder? But why was he now pulling him to escape?

"Many high-ranking members of the Devil Clan suddenly appeared here, and there are many of them. Those high-ranking members are not Blood Snakes!"

Shi Potian quickly transmitted this information to Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brow as he extended his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings.

After a while, he indeed saw many Demon Beasts appearing in the sky ahead.

These Demon Beasts had bizarre body shapes, but they were not targeting Duan Gujin and Shi Potian; instead, they were heading towards the Blood Snakes ahead.

The Ninth Level Martial Emperor Blood Snake quickly sensed the appearance of these Demon Beasts and promptly ordered its subordinates to stop chasing Duan Gujin and Shi Potian, and instead prepare to battle those Devil Clan members.

Next, Duan Gujin and Shi Potian saw those newly appeared Devil Clan members launching an attack on the Blood Snakes.

"They've started fighting!"

Duan Gujin and Shi Potian felt this was quite unbelievable; they initially thought that those Devil Clan members were cohorts.

Only now did they realize that the Devil Clan intended to battle with the Blood Snakes.

This time, the newly appeared Devil Clan had a numerical advantage, with hundreds of members.

Moreover, their strength was not weak; the lowest Cultivation among them was at the Martial Sect Realm, including several Ninth Level Martial Emperors.

"It looks like those Devil Clan members are fighting among themselves!"

Duan Gujin felt a surge of elation, secretly wishing for the Devil Clan members to fight each other to death.
