Elder Wan originally wanted to step forward and investigate, but after walking hundreds of steps, he discovered a massive number of frenzied Yin Fire Soul Worms.

After confirming that those Yin Fire Soul Worms had indeed turned frenzied, he chose not to continue forward.

He was very clear in his mind that if those Yin Fire Soul Worms launched a fierce attack on him, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Although the strength of a single Yin Fire Soul Worm seemed not to be strong, their advantage lay in their overwhelming numbers. If they swarmed in attack, they could easily cover his entire body.

Previously, he had been warned by the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect, they were absolutely not to offend those Yin Fire Soul Worms lightly.

Once a Martial Artist entered the area, and slowly released a bit of Killing Aura, then only the Yin Fire Soul Worms nearby would sense the Martial Artist's Killing Aura and surround the Martial Artist.

Properly controlling the release of Killing Aura to attract the Yin Fire Soul Worms bit by bit was a very crucial step.

Moreover, once a Martial Artist released Killing Aura, those Yin Fire Soul Worms could sense the presence of living creatures nearby and would madly attack those creatures.

If it really came to that, the situation would become uncontrollable.

Seeing the densely packed Yin Fire Soul Worms in front of him, Elder Wan was shocked; he knew he could not continue forward.

"Duan Gujin is inside now! If something happened to him, then the Divine Soul Power he is releasing wouldn't be so strong! This means he hasn't encountered any mishaps yet!"

Elder Wan pondered for a while and finally felt that Duan Gujin should be fine, and decided to wait outside.

Time passed by swiftly like flowing water.

Amidst Elder Wan's anxious waiting, he finally sensed that the Divine Soul Power released by Duan Gujin was weakening.

Feeling the Divine Soul Power released by Duan Gujin gradually weakening, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good! Duan Gujin is fine!"

Although it was just his conjecture, he believed Duan Gujin was really fine.

If Duan Gujin had encountered a problem just now, the Divine Soul Power he released would have disappeared abruptly, instead of weakening bit by bit as it was now.

Elder Wan waited outside for a while, and at last, he eventually saw Duan Gujin.

"Duan Gujin, how are you?"

Upon seeing Duan Gujin, Elder Wan quickly asked.

"I'm fine, I'm unharmed!"

Duan Gujin said indifferently.

"That's a relief. But why did you release such terrifying Divine Soul Power just now?"

Elder Wan asked.

Duan Gujin did not want to let Elder Wan know about his Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, so with a thought, he came up with what he thought was a fairly good excuse.

"I don't know what happened just now, but suddenly there appeared an extremely powerful Divine Soul aura! At the time, I was so startled, and I could only carefully devour, refine, and absorb those Yin Fire Soul Worms at one side. After that powerful Divine Soul Power disappeared, I then walked out!"

After hearing what Duan Gujin said, Elder Wan naturally found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Don't you deceive me!"

Elder Wan's expression was full of incredulity.

Duan Gujin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Elder Wan, I'm not lying to you at all! I've heard that the Yin Fire Soul Worms are related to the Netherworld; these creatures are very special, they can only survive where the power of the Netherworld exists. This cave in front of us might be a conduit connecting to the Netherworld, right?"

Duan Gujin quickly explained.

"What? How could that be possible?"

Elder Wan was somewhat incredulous at hearing this.

However, he did not know much about the Netherworld, and he could not judge whether what Duan Gujin said was true.

Duan Gujin had perused the classics of the Blood Killing Sect before, and he assessed that they did not know much about the Yin Fire Soul Worms.

If the Blood Killing Sect did not know much about the Yin Fire Soul Worms, then naturally, they would not know much about the Netherworld either.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he said, "Elder Wan, I think the location of the Blood Killing Sect is particularly special; it is highly probable that this cave has some connection with the Netherworld. The strong Divine Soul Power we sensed just now might actually be a phenomenon of the Netherworld erupting, like a volcanic eruption, a very natural occurrence, and we just happened to encounter it."

After hearing this, Elder Wan's eyes widened, his face a picture of astonishment.

This was the first time he had heard such an explanation; his mind raced as he pondered whether what Duan Gujin said made sense.

Having thought for quite a while and not finding any flaws, he was truly uncertain whether he should believe Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin glanced at Elder Wan and judged from the latter's expression that Elder Wan was skeptical about his words.

He then realized that it would indeed be difficult to make Elder Wan completely believe him.

He then said, "Elder Wan, has no one ever said before that this cave is related to the Netherworld?"

"Well, let me think about it!"

Elder Wan frowned as he recalled the records he had previously read about the Yin Fire Soul Worms.

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up as he remembered a rumor.

"Duan Gujin, let me ask you, does the Netherworld release some kind of energy that eventually forms Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects?"

He immediately asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin instantly understood the implication behind Elder Wan's question.

"So, he's already thought about the owner of the Seeking Origin Heavenly Scripture."

With a glint in his eye, he said, "My master once mentioned there indeed was such a rumor; he said that it was actually quite a challenge for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to form, requiring a convergence of many opportune conditions!"

He purposely said this to divert Elder Wan's previous suspicions about him; he did not want Elder Wan to associate him with the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul within his body.

Of course, Elder Wan was not foolish, he was naturally suspicious.

Unless he had entered the cave with Duan Gujin and felt the sudden emergence of the powerful Divine Soul Power from within, seeing is believing.

Otherwise, he would continue to be skeptical about Duan Gujin's words.

Now, as Duan Gujin had steered the conversation towards the Netherworld and Innate Spiritual Objects, and even introduced a nonexistent master, Elder Wan was for the moment persuaded to believe Duan Gujin's statement.

As a temporary belief, Elder Wan thought that the strong Divine Soul Power encountered earlier was an eruption from the Netherworld and had nothing to do with Duan Gujin.

After a while, Elder Wan asked, "Then Duan Gujin, how is your Divine Soul? Did it make a breakthrough?"

"Elder Wan, my Divine Soul has finally remedied some of its flaws, quite a satisfactory gain."

"That's good, let's head back!"

After deciding to return, Elder Wan planned to carefully consult the old classics to see if he could find related records.

Seeing that Elder Wan no longer inquired further, Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had successfully diverted Elder Wan's attention.

Under Elder Wan's guidance, they quickly returned to the main mountain of the Blood Killing Sect.

That very night, Elder Wan researched the related classics overnight and ultimately felt that Duan Gujin probably had not deceived him.
