Seeing the masters of the Devil Clan ahead, the Ninth-layered Martial Emperor Blood Snake was instantly filled with fear. It was well aware of why these Devils wanted to attack it.

Because, it had stolen the Demon Stone from the hands of the Red Gold Demon Saint.

Previously, its cultivation had reached a bottleneck. In order to break through this bottleneck, it had tried every means to find a treasure that could elevate its cultivation to the Demon Saint level.

By chance, it discovered a stone in the possession of the Red Gold Demon Saint, which contained a strong Devilish Aura inside.

It was said that if one could completely absorb the Devilish Aura within the Demon Stone, one could greatly advance their cultivation and ultimately break through to the Demon Saint.

Thus, the Ninth-layered Martial Emperor Blood Snake sneaked into the treasure vault of the Red Gold Demon Saint and successfully stole the Demon Stone from there.

Since stealing the Demon Stone, it had taken refuge in this abandoned ore vein and set up a Gathering Magic Array to slowly refine the Devilish Aura within the Demon Stone.

However, after days of absorption, it had failed.

Despite its failure, it did not think the problem lay with the Demon Stone, but with itself. It always believed that, given time, it could use the Demon Stone to elevate its cultivation to the Demon Saint level.

But now, the Demon Stone had flown away, and it was filled with reluctance.

And the culprits of all this were those two humans nearby.

"It's them!"

The Blood Snake's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and it quickly informed the Devils attacking it.

"Those two humans stole the stone! Act quickly and stop them!"

The Devil masters who had come here naturally did not believe the Blood Snake's words, but after glancing at Duan Gujin and Shi Potian, they immediately made their decision—they wanted to capture the two Human Warriors ahead.

The reason they intended to capture Duan Gujin and Shi Potian was because they belonged to the Devil Clan, while Duan Gujin and Shi Potian were from the Human Clan.

In their belief, whenever Humans and Devils meet, it's either your death or mine.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Very quickly, three Devil masters of the Martial Emperor Realm led six subordinates of the Martial Sect Realm towards the location of Duan Gujin and Shi Potian.

Seeing those Devils approach fiercely, Duan Gujin and Shi Potian knew they came with ill intentions.

"Let's retreat!"

Shi Potian knew that not only were there many of the Devils present, but their power was not weak.

If the opponents swarmed them, he and Duan Gujin might not win.

Thus, he quickly took Duan Gujin and hurriedly left the place.

"The Demon Stone is gone, we shouldn't be fighting these Devils here!"

Shi Potian said so.

"Okay!"

Duan Gujin, seeing that the Devils blocking them were very strong, knew that if they clashed head-on, it would only be like throwing eggs against rocks, a path to their own doom.

Feeling a group of Devil masters exerting their full strength to chase them from behind, Shi Potian took a deep breath, and then his aura suddenly burst forth, as he took Duan Gujin and rapidly left the area, fast as lightning.

Despite the Devils exerting all their efforts, they still could not catch up to Shi Potian.

If those Devils faced Duan Gujin, he would deploy the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps and could also successfully escape from the pursuers.

After leaving the abandoned mine, Shi Potian bade farewell to Duan Gujin.

"Duan Gujin, do you have any information on Zhao Wuji?"

Shi Potian suddenly asked.

"No, it was only after I entered the Jiuzhou Continent that I learned about the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain!"

Then, he shared everything he could about his experiences here with Shi Potian, including the matter about that monkey.

Hearing what Duan Gujin said, Shi Potian's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then he shared his speculations with Duan Gujin.

"Duan Gujin, you must try hard to find Zhao Wuji here in the Jiuzhou Continent! I have a premonition that Zhao Wuji wasn't killed by the Divine Beings of the Divine World. He should still be in the Jiuzhou Continent, possibly hiding in the Hundred Saints Mountain or somewhere else in the Jiuzhou Continent."

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he said, "But finding Zhao Wuji is not easy. At least for now, Zhao Wuji has not shown himself!"

"Yes! I plan to spend most of my time here in the Hundred Saints Mountain, and you, with your lower cultivation, should focus on cultivating for some time. Zhao Wuji is extremely powerful, and aside from himself, I think no one else knows of his whereabouts."

Shi Potian remarked with a sigh.

"Indeed."

Duan Gujin's mind quickly raced as he pondered how to find Zhao Wuji.

But after thinking for a while, he had no leads.

"It would be great if we could find him, but don't think finding Zhao Wuji will be useful. If Zhao Wuji is still alive, his strength is definitely formidable! Even if you find him early, you may not be able to defeat him. Our priority should be to find ways to enhance our own cultivation. Moreover, if Zhao Wuji really exposes his whereabouts, the experts of the Jiuzhou Continent will seek him out!"

Shi Potian said.

After talking for a while, they took their leave.

Duan Gujin, looking at the abandoned ore vein behind him and thinking about his meager gains, was speechless.

He knew the Devil Clan was definitely active in the abandoned ore veins, so he no longer returned to the abandoned ore veins.

This time, fortunately, Shi Potian appeared and helped him out of the crisis.

If Shi Potian had not appeared before, he did not know what his situation would have been.

Duan Gujin figured the Devil Clan experts would likely search for him in the abandoned ore veins, so he decided to wait a bit longer before sneaking back.

After all, the Jiuzhou Continent isn't the only place with the ore he needed.

On the map, there were several other places recorded that also contained such ores.

Thus, Duan Gujin decided to head toward the other locations with ores recorded on the map.

"Boom"

Suddenly, a huge explosion erupted from the void ahead.

A powerful force burst out from the void in front, and then a huge palm struck forward.

Duan Gujin's complexion changed drastically, immediately recognizing that the direction of the giant palm strike was the direction Shi Potian had gone earlier.

He immediately thought of a possibility.

"Not good! A Demon Saint-level expert has made a move!"

Only a Demon Saint-level expert can traverse the void, directly bypass through the void, and manifest their strength into a giant palm.

Duan Gujin quickly prepared for battle, his body flashed, and he rapidly moved to the left.

He did not want to be struck by that Demon Saint-level expert. He guessed that what attacked Shi Potian now was likely a Treasure of a Demon Saint.

Such a Treasure has a distinct function; it can unleash power equivalent to that of the Demon Saint realm for a brief period.

Generally, this kind of Treasure is used for a deadly strike against an enemy.
