It turned out that within Hundred Saints Mountain, there were many large and small mountain peaks. Although Hundred Saints Mountain, unlike the Human Clan, did not have sects of various sizes, there were more than thirty Demon Saints within these mountains. These Demon Saints occupied different territories, claiming land as their kingdom, thus forming a force.

"In Hundred Saints Mountain, there is only one Demon Saint King, and it is currently in seclusion. Hence, its affairs are managed by the other Demon Saints. Generally speaking, there are only two factions here: one is the Beast-type Demon Clan led by the Heartless Tiger Demon Saint King, and the other is the Flying Beast Demon Clan led by the Golden Eagle Hidden Demon Saint. These two factions are incompatible with each other and there are frequent disputes. Generally, the two major forces have already demarcated their domains, but those of the Flying Beast Demon Clan would often trespass into other Demon Saints' territories for no reason and snatch food from the subordinates of the other Demon Saints. Naturally, such actions by the Flying Beast Demon Clan have aroused dissatisfaction among the Beast-type Demon Saints, but the Golden Eagle Hidden Demon Saint is very powerful, so most of the Beast-type Demon Saints dare not speak out. In Hundred Saints Mountain, only Heartless Demon Saint and my father have the power to suppress the Golden Eagle Hidden Demon Saint. If there really is a feud, then it's the faction represented by the Golden Eagle Demon Saint that has enmity with the other Beast-type Demon Saints."

Miao Yu thus told Duan Gujin some secrets about Hundred Saints Mountain that were not known to outsiders.

After listening, Duan Gujin started to analyze carefully.

"However, this kind of grudge represents the competition between two different species of Demon Beasts on Hundred Saints Mountain. This competition is very fierce, but whether or not they will poison each other, I really cannot judge."

In the end, Miao Yu said so.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered for a moment. He organized the information provided earlier by Miao Yu and Zhan Luan, eventually concluding that he could not determine who the poisoner was.

"There are too few clues!"

Duan Gujin rubbed his temples. He had originally intended to use the Mandala Poison Flower laid down by the poisoner as a clue to find the true culprit behind the scenes.

But Zhan Luan and Miao Yu told him that they usually could not enter the territories of other Demon Saints.

Once a Demon Saint intrudes into the territory of another without consent, it will be regarded as an invasion.

Once regarded as an invasion, the encroached Demon Saint will start a fierce fight with the intruder.

Therefore, Zhan Luan never sent subordinates into other Demon Saints' domains to spy for him, as he felt there was no need to meddle with intelligence from other Demon Saints.

"This Zhan Luan is really honest!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath.

At first, he was somewhat disbelieving that Zhan Luan truly never sent anyone to infiltrate other Demon Saints' territories.

After asking Miao Yu, he learned that Zhan Luan indeed had not sent any subordinates to gather intelligence in other Demon Saints' territories.

"Now we really have too few clues at hand!"

Duan Gujin let out a breath. Undoubtedly, Zhan Luan truly had no idea who his enemy was, which made it difficult for him to help locate the poisoner.

"We have found a covert base of that traitor in the back mountains!"

A day later, Miao Yu informed Duan Gujin of a piece of intelligence.

"Let's go take a look together!"

Under Miao Yu's guidance, Duan Gujin followed her to inspect what that covert base was all about.

After seeing the covert base, he realized that Miao Yu had brought him to a garden.

"This garden is very secretive, and it is surrounded by a Concealing Array made by the Human Clan."

After seeing the garden, Duan Gujin thoroughly inspected it.

Eventually, he found a Dark Weapon in a hidden spot that set up the Concealing Array, and Duan Gujin discovered that there were many useful clues on that Dark Weapon.

"This is a treasure from Xuanji Immortal Sect!"

Duan Gujin recognized the badges of the Major Sects on the Jiuzhou Continent, and he found the Xuanji Immortal Sect's badge on that Dark Weapon, along with many small characters next to it.

Although the characters on the Dark Weapon were very obscure and appeared to be just the name of a talisman,

Duan Gujin carefully examined them for a while and figured out the meaning of those small characters.

Those small characters were written in the ancient scripts of the Jiuzhou Continent, and their strokes were very intricate.

If a member of the Devil Clan were to examine those characters, they certainly wouldn't recognize them.

But for a Human Warrior, they might recognize the secret hidden within those characters.

This kind of secret is a hidden poem within the text!

"Six from Xuanji trapped on Hundred Saints Mountain, captured by the Golden Eagle Hidden Demon Saint, seek rescue!"

Duan Gujin saw such hidden beginnings and endings on one of the Dark Weapons and was overjoyed, knowing that he had finally found some useful clues.

After a while, he found three similar phrases.

Golden Eagle Hidden Demon Saint!

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly inquired about the Golden Eagle Hidden Demon Saint from Miao Yu.

Miao Yu told Duan Gujin everything she knew.

After pondering for a while, he shared his speculation with Miao Yu.

After hearing it, she thought for a moment and felt that Duan Gujin's guess was very likely correct!

The real culprit could very well be the Hidden Demon Saint!

"I always felt that the Hidden Demon Saint had a knife hidden behind his smile, and it made me very uncomfortable!" said Miao Yu.

"Do you know where he lives?" Duan Gujin asked immediately.

Miao Yu disclosed the residence of the Hidden Demon Saint to Duan Gujin.

It turned out that though the Demon Saints of the major sects were not allowed to enter each other's domains casually, they still needed to hold meetings from time to time.

And as the acting Holy Master of Hundred Saints Mountain, the Hidden Demon Saint would convene other Demon Saints to his domain at regular intervals.

Upon hearing Miao Yu's words, Duan Gujin immediately surmised that the Earth Golden Eagle was likely the mastermind behind the scenes.

And that the Hidden Demon Saint was capturing Human Alchemists to use as slaves, without drawing the attention of the other Demon Saints.

So, the Golden Eagle didn't immediately strike at the Chaos-cutting Demon Saint but allowed him to slowly succumb to the poison.

Miao Yu would accompany her father to the Hidden Demon Saint's domain, and therefore, she had a certain degree of knowledge about it.

Duan Gujin carefully analyzed the residence of the Hidden Demon Saint and felt that he should enter his place to check it out.

The domain of the Hidden Demon Saint was in a high mountain densely grown with Ironwood Strange Trees, and in those hidden poems, it was written that there were many Ironwood Strange Trees where the Human Warriors were trapped.

Thus, Duan Gujin was certain that the Human Clan warriors were confined at the Hidden Demon Saint's place.

"Miao Yu, do you think we could sneak in secretly?" Duan Gujin probed.

"Yes! Those Golden Eagles excel at attacking from the sky, but they aren't good at burrowing underground. If we're careful, they won't discover our presence!" replied Miao Yu.

"Good, then we shall infiltrate the territory of the Hidden Demon Saint!"

"Okay, let's get ready and head out!"

After preparations, they set out towards the domain of the Hidden Demon Saint, led by Miao Yu.
