Upon entering Hundred Saints Mountain, he had checked the sensing talisman and was certain that there was no issue with it; it was definitely impossible for anyone to have tampered with his sensing talisman.

He gasped sharply, carefully inspecting the sensing talisman again.

After a while, he confirmed there were no issues with the sensing talisman in his hand; it was neither damaged nor was its internal array destroyed.

However, it still showed no reaction, which could only mean either the sensing array had failed, or there was a strong energy present here, blocking the sensing talisman's ability to detect the sensing array.

Either situation was a possibility.

Duan Gujin immediately said to Luo Ying, "Luo Ying, check the sensing talisman on you. There's an issue with my talisman."

"Alright!"

Upon hearing his words, Luo Ying quickly took out her sensing talisman from her storage ring, her Divine Sense entered the talisman to confirm her current location.

But after a moment, her complexion drastically changed; she found that her sensing talisman gave no reaction whatsoever.

"Darn it! My sensing talisman is broken!"

Luo Ying cried out in alarm.

She knew that if their sensing talismans were broken, they were very likely to get lost in Hundred Saints Mountain.

Just the thought of getting lost in Hundred Saints Mountain made her skin crawl.

"How could this happen?"

She became panic-stricken.

"It's possible that the sensing array ahead is broken, or there might be an energy here interfering with the sensing array."

Duan Gujin responded.

"Perhaps that's the case. So, what should we do next?"

Luo Ying asked.

"Let's retrace our steps!"

Duan Gujin estimated that he and Luo Ying were not far from the point they had left before being surrounded by the serpent Devil Clan, so they could completely retrace their steps.

Thus, he led Luo Ying back the way they came.

After they had retraced some distance, they felt a powerful Life Aura suddenly emerge in the Void ahead.

"It's a Demon Saint! We must immediately conceal our Life Auras, don't release any at all!"

Duan Gujin's complexion changed dramatically, and he quickly sent a message to Luo Ying.

Luo Ying, upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, immediately concealed her Life Aura. She dared not emanate any Life Aura, understanding all too well how terrible a Demon Saint could be.

After they concealed their Life Auras, a moment later, they sensed a powerful Divine Sense Inspection sweeping over from the front.

They held their breath, trying not to release any Qi or heat, making themselves as cold as a stone.

They knew that only by doing this could they possibly avoid detection by the Divine Sense of the Demon Saint.

After the powerful Divine Sense had swept over them, they let out a sigh of relief.

A while later, they sensed that the Demon Saint had left.

"Don't act rashly! I've detected many Martial Emperor Realm beasts of the Devil Clan nearby!"

Duan Gujin hurriedly and privately warned Luo Ying not to make any thoughtless moves.

"Understood!" Luo Ying replied through a hidden message.

At this moment, a thought crossed both Duan Gujin and Luo Ying's minds.

"Why would the Sect Master of the Blood Killing Sect let them operate in a place where a Demon Saint is present? Could this be the Sect Master's purpose to trap them?"

Duan Gujin wondered if the Sect Master of the Blood Killing Sect had an ulterior motive towards him, but he did not continue to ponder the conspiracy behind this. He knew that what he had to do next was to be cautious of any potential dangers.

These potential dangers included Luo Ying, who was right by his side at the moment.

Duan Gujin began to deeply suspect Luo Ying beside him, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Could the Sect Master of the Blood Killing Sect be employing the tactic of seduction?"

The experience of Heavenly Master Xun Yuan immediately came to mind, and he began to covertly watch every move of Luo Ying.

After observing for a while, he didn't find any abnormalities in her behavior.

"It's possible that she's concealing very deeply. I'd better still be careful, lest I capsize in a gutter!"

At this moment, Luo Ying's thoughts were entirely different from Duan Gujin's. She thought it was very likely a plan by Sect Master Hou Luoming.

"Could the Sect Master have wanted to create a chance for us to be alone together? But isn't this too terrifying? This place is full of Demon Emperors, and there are also terrifyingly powerful Demon Saints. If we are discovered by them, there's no escaping!"

Thinking of the terrifying implications, a cold sweat formed on Luo Ying's forehead.

Time slowly passed, and after about an hour, Duan Gujin and Luo Ying sensed that hundreds of Martial Emperor Realm beasts of the Devil Clan had appeared all around them.

Moreover, those beasts were getting closer and closer to their location.

Duan Gujin and Luo Ying frowned deeply, knowing that they had to make an immediate decision.

They noticed that those beasts were meticulously searching the area around them, not sparing any suspicious spots.

Duan Gujin deduced that given the thorough search pace of those beasts, they would soon approach their position.

"From those beasts' actions just now, they seem to be very carefully searching for something here; they're likely not here to find us!"

After pondering for a moment, he decided that he and Luo Ying must leave the area immediately.

"We need to leave this place immediately, we should stay far away from those Devil Clan members! Suppress your Life Aura, I'll take you with me to escape!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Okay!"

Luo Ying replied.

She no longer cared about what kind of conspiracy Hou Luoming was up to; all she wanted was to get away from this ghastly place filled with powerful Devil Clan as soon as possible.

Duan Gujin then took her, and their figures turned into a trail of afterimage as they rapidly vanished into the Void.

Their speed was not very fast, but it was enough to evade the search of those Devil Clan members.

Whenever Duan Gujin approached a Devil Clan member, he would decisively and swiftly capture them.

After seizing that member of the Devil Clan, he forcibly read their memories.

After a while, he learned the truth from the memories of that Devil Clan member.

"What? It turns out that several tombs of the Demon Saints in Hundred Saints Mountain have been excavated by the Human Clan?"

Having known the truth, he gasped in shock.

"Could it be Shi Potian who likes to rob tombs so much?"

Whenever he thought of Shi Potian, he would feel a headache coming on.

He remembered from his past life that Shi Potian had already been a scourge.

On second thought, he felt this event was very likely to be true.

"If the tombs of the Demon Saints in Hundred Saints Mountain were indeed disturbed by Shi Potian, resulting in a calamity for the Human Clan, then Shi Potian truly deserves to die a thousand times over!"

Thinking of Shi Potian's personality, he felt that it was very likely that this matter was indeed related to Shi Potian.

The reason their Devil Clan was sent here was to dig three feet into the ground in search of Shi Potian's whereabouts.

"So our sensing talismans are ineffective here because the Demon Saints have cast spells to shield the entire Hundred Saints Mountain."

Duan Gujin was shocked in his heart as he took another cold breath.

He knew that some treasures within the Devil Clan were terrifying, capable of completely enveloping an entire area.

"It seems that this matter really is related to Shi Potian. With his personality, he's entirely capable of causing such a catastrophe."

Duan Gujin realized everything was caused by Shi Potian, and immediately felt incredibly burdened.

"Now what should I do?"

Through reading the memories of that Devil Clan member, he learned that the Devil Clan's Divine Sense Detection Ability was weak, so they could only adopt the method of searching every inch thoroughly.

"It turns out these Devil Clan members don't know that Luo Ying and I are lurking here. They will search every place, and those Demon Saints have come out in force in order to capture that Tomb Robber, Shi Potian. It seems that this crusade will be quite troublesome!"

Duan Gujin pondered for a while, and he dismissed the possibility that this crusade conference was connected with Shi Potian.

"The Martial Artists of Jiuzhou Continent had decided to carry out the crusade against the Devil Clan a month ago, while these Devil Clan members only emerged from their nests ten days ago. Logically, the Martial Artists of Jiuzhou Continent could not have known of events that would happen twenty days later! It must be a coincidence!"

He thought for a moment and felt that Jiuzhou Continent was truly unlucky this time. They had just planned a crusade against the Devil Clan only to encounter the elite of Hundred Saints Mountain's Devil Clan heading to the frontier between the Human and Devil Clans in search of Shi Potian.

Undoubtedly, this would lead to a conflict erupting between the elite of the Devil Clan from Hundred Saints Mountain and the Martial Artists of Jiuzhou Continent.

"This time, Jiuzhou Continent is in trouble!"

Duan Gujin surmised that the experts from the various Major Sects of Jiuzhou Continent had previously planned a sneak attack on the Devil Clan, but now those Devil Clan members had dispatched their elites early and entered the battlefield.

He furrowed his brows, his mind racing with different thoughts.

But after a while, he felt his next task was to quickly escape from this place.

"Now I am trapped in a closed space created by the Demon Saints, which can block the sensing arrays!"

So, he immediately took Luo Ying and left the place.

"I have already exhausted all of my Pure Divine Essence while leveling up, unless I have a tremendous Immortal Destiny, it would be hard to advance my Cultivation any further! Although my current Cultivation is only at Martial Emperor First Level, I can at least claim to be the First Under Martial Saint Realm!"

Duan Gujin immediately analyzed his own strength.

He knew that the only thing he needed to be wary of were the Demon Saint powerhouses in this place.

Unless he faces a Demon Saint powerhouse whose Cultivation has reached the Peak State of Martial Saint Realm, a general Early Stage Martial Saint of the Devil Clan would not be able to defeat him easily.

If he really could not beat them, he could still perform the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps and make a distant escape.

Moreover, his Heavenly Demon Nine Steps were now more skilled than before; he could perform the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps and forcefully pass through five times in succession.

Simply put, he could take forty-five steps in one go and cross the Void five kilometers five times in a row.

Then he would be able to take a quick breath and cross the Void once more.

As long as he performs such continuous Void crossings, very few experts could lock onto his location.

Although it consumes a significant amount of Primordial Power, as long as he can escape the range of the enemy's Divine Sense Inspection in a very short time, he would successfully get away.

But now he faced a major problem—the addition of Luo Ying by his side.

With Luo Ying present, he could not use the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps.

In that case, he would lose his ability to escape.

Duan Gujin could only exhale resignedly regarding this outcome.

He could not just leave Luo Ying behind and escape alone.

Caught in this dilemma, Duan Gujin pondered for a moment, then thought that perhaps they should flee to the areas already searched by those Devil Clan members.
