Duan Gujin did not engage in a conflict with the six Lizard Evil Souls; he did not want to waste too much strength here.

After a few trials, he discovered that although the cultivation of these Evil Souls had broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, their burst of power was still far inferior to his current level.

Thus, after several attempts, he used Rapid Escape to leave the area.

As he progressed, he extended his Divine Sense to carefully explore the area while cautiously moving forward to avoid encountering stronger Evil Souls.

After moving another thirty kilometers, he found a huge Gathering Spirit Array in front of him.

He entered the Gathering Spirit Array and after a thorough examination, he concluded that the Gathering Spirit Array he was seeing now was similar in shape and structure to the one he had seen in the Endless Canyon.

However, the Gathering Spirit Array he was seeing now could absorb and devour a wider range of energy.

Simply put, this Gathering Spirit Array could absorb a larger range of energy from nature.

At the same time, he also noticed many unusual things; he found many strange flowing lights inside the Gathering Spirit Array.

He closely examined those lights and found that they were similar to the lights on the body of the Lizard Evil Soul he had hit before.

A thought flashed in his eyes; he considered a possibility.

"Could these lights have been left here by the Ancient Evil Souls in this place?"

He immediately switched his Martial Soul; he changed to the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul and searched nearby for some Ancient Evil Souls. He attacked those Evil Souls and then discovered that when those Evil Souls were killed, a lot of strange flowing light material would remain on the ground.

"Could it be that this Gathering Spirit Array has previously eradicated many Ancient Evil Souls here?"

This possibility immediately came to his mind.

To verify his guess, he immediately went nearby to search for those Ancient Evil Souls.

After a fight, he finally 'captured' one Ancient Evil Soul alive.

After, he forcibly read the memory of that Ancient Evil Soul and learned that previously, a creature resembling a Human Clan member and a red-furred monkey had appeared there.

Duan Gujin instantly thought that the Human Clan creature must be Zhao Wuji, and the red-furred monkey was the Red Fierce Monkey.

From the memory of that Ancient Evil Soul, Duan Gujin knew that after they entered this place, they set up a huge Array here and then attracted all the powerful Evil Souls within a hundred miles nearby.

These powerful Evil Souls completely surrounded this area, but as soon as their bodies entered, they melted away in a very short time, leaving some flowing lights on the ground.

"So that was it!"

Duan Gujin realized that the huge Gathering Spirit Array set up by Zhao Wuji here was meant to devour, absorb, and refine the powerful Ancient Evil Souls of this place.

"Previously, I encountered six Lizard Evil Souls, all in the Martial Saint Realm. It can be imagined that there were many powerful Ancient Evil Souls here before!"

After entering this place, he became somewhat confused and puzzled; he felt that although there were many Ancient Evil Souls here, it still wouldn't make this place worthy of being a Demon Clan Forbidden Land.

From the memories of that Ancient Evil Soul, he learned that it was very likely that Zhao Wuji had previously eliminated the formidable Evil Souls here.

"Seeing this, Zhao Wuji must be very powerful now!"

Duan Gujin gasped, imagining Zhao Wuji devouring many Martial Saint Realm Evil Souls within the Demon Clan Forbidden Land and using their power to reach an unprecedented peak of cultivation.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then he figured out how he might be able to 'restore' the Gathering Spirit Array Zhao Wuji set up here.

Thus, he started to 'restore' the Gathering Spirit Array of this place bit by bit.

After two hours, he had a clear understanding.

"So this is what the Gathering Spirit Array looks like!"

He thought about it for a while and then shook his head vigorously.

If he had adequate materials, he could easily create the same Gathering Spirit Array here, but he had absolutely no materials to make a Gathering Spirit Array at his disposal.

"A good craftswoman can't cook without rice, after all!"

He sighed deeply and then wandered around the Demon Clan Forbidden Land for two days.

When he found no clues at all, he left the Demon Clan Forbidden Land.

Upon meeting Miao Yu again, he told her everything he had seen in the third Demon Clan Forbidden Land.

Upon hearing this, Miao Yu's eyebrows twitched.

"Duan Gujin, from what you say, I feel like Zhao Wuji came prepared!"

"Yes!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed; he knew that in the Upper Realm, there really are experts who can predict the future, and Zhao Wuji was one of them.

Fighting against such an expert, even an Immortal would find themselves at a disadvantage.

Duan Gujin pondered for a while, then his eyes brightened suddenly.

"It seems that the Red Fierce Monkey was right when it told me not to worry about Zhao Wuji; it didn't deceive me! Zhao Wuji must have been prepared here long ago, to be precise, he had made preparations all along, whether on the Jiuzhou Continent or here at Xuankong Mountain. Those three Demon Clan Forbidden Lands are essentially his private domains! They are very dangerous for the local demons, but for him, those lands are the most suitable places for his cultivation! He was able to rapidly increase his cultivation in those three Demon Clan Forbidden Lands!"

He couldn't help but sigh; previously, when Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was destroyed by Forbidden Power, he suspected that Zhao Wuji was very likely still alive.

"Dealing with Zhao Wuji, such a major issue, should be left to the Immortals! I believe the Immortals from the Immortal Domain are more eager to find him and eliminate him than I am! I better not meddle in these muddy waters!"

He knew his Combat Power was far inferior to Zhao Wuji's, and moreover, he didn't have the support of a powerful Immortal Sect from the Immortal Domain at his back—now he was just a minor character, how could he compete with an Immortal Demon.

He immediately calmed himself down, knowing what he should consider next was how to avoid the pursuit of the Suspended Holy Mother with Miao Yu.

After pondering for a while, his eyes brightened suddenly.

"Thinking of Zhao Wuji's cautious nature, it's unlikely he would enter Xuankong Mountain via the Demon Clan's Teleportation Array. Perhaps, he used another Transmission Tower to transport himself from the Jiuzhou Continent or Hundred Saints Mountain to here! But, Xuankong Mountain is so vast, where should I start looking for that Transmission Tower?"

He thought that since Zhao Wuji was able to set up three Demon Clan Forbidden Lands that were very beneficial to him but detrimental to the local demons, he must certainly be able to set up a Transmission Tower to transport himself to Xuankong Mountain.
