"I know that there are some very special treasures in the territory of the Netherworld Dark Clan here, so, I want to enter and search for treasures!"

Shi Potian directly stated his intention.

Duan Gujin knew he should speak the truth in front of an old fox like Shi Potian.

Moreover, he knew that the Shi Potian in front of him was indeed a genuine old fox.

Lying in front of an old fox, he was clear about the consequences he would face!

Duan Gujin then told Shi Potian everything that happened after his resurrection, of course, he omitted a very important detail.

He did not tell Shi Potian about the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul of the Ultimate Demon Emperor he carried within himself, for he knew that once it was known he possessed the Martial Soul of the Ultimate Demon Emperor, he would definitely be regarded as a traitor to the Human Clan by others.

During his time on the Qiankun Continent, he could use it to deceive others.

But he knew that in front of those who had once battled the Ultimate Demon Emperor, he absolutely could not reveal it.

He was gravely concerned that others would consider him an accomplice of the Ultimate Demon Emperor, and then he would become a target everyone in the world would chase after.

Given the Ultimate Demon Emperor was resented by gods and men alike, and was especially responsible for bringing calamity, Duan Gujin certainly didn't want to carry the blame for something he was blameless in.

"I absolutely must not let those who know about the Ultimate Demon Emperor learn that I have the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul within my body, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable!"

Duan Gujin said: "I heard that you have offended the Mystical Sect, so at this time, you should have offended the Mystical Sect, right?"

"Yes, I'm being hunted by the Mystical Sect! I escaped here!" replied Shi Potian somberly, believing in Duan Gujin's words.

"So that's how it is!"

Duan Gujin said indifferently.

"You won't betray me, will you?"

Shi Potian looked at Duan Gujin with suspicious eyes.

Duan Gujin quickly shook his head and said, "How could I? I've offended some people before too! I don't want to be killed off prematurely by those I have crossed!"

"Right! After we reincarnated, many things have changed!"

Shi Potian exhaled a sigh.

"Yes, I find I can't control the things from before at all!" Duan Gujin agreed.

"Right! After I was reborn, the first thing I did was to leave the Mystical Sect right away! Luckily, I escaped in time, otherwise, I would have already turned to ashes by now!"

Reflecting on the events that transpired, Shi Potian felt a lingering fear.

"It's almost the same for me!"

Duan Gujin said.

They only knew each other in passing in their previous life; back then, Duan Gujin had just heard about Shi Potian being the infamous Plague God, and they weren't closely acquainted.

"What are you doing here now?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"After being hunted, I came here to search for treasures! I need some special materials to craft Dark Weapons, and those materials can only be found here!"

Shi Potian candidly revealed his purpose, knowing that the person before him, like him, had interacted with the world a thousand years later and that he could somewhat trust Duan Gujin.

Of course, he wouldn't fully trust Duan Gujin!

That was just his nature.

"So that's how it is!"

Although they had shared about the events after their rebirth, they both understood in their hearts that they definitely had some secrets they did not share with each other.

And these secrets, they wouldn't even reveal them to their closest kin, let alone people they weren't very familiar with.

After the conversation, Duan Gujin then realized that Shi Potian, after being hunted, wanted to escape into this area to dodge the pursuers, and so he shared with Shi Potian the situation in the Fire Cloud Continent.

"So it is! Later, I will go with you to the Hua Hun Clan's camp to take a look; those Fire Demon Spirits are still very useful to me! I didn't expect that there would be so many treasures here on the Fire Cloud Continent!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Potian's eyes lit up.

Duan Gujin's gaze flickered for a while, and after careful thought, he understood.

Shi Potian was called the Plague God because of his incredible tomb raiding skills, and of course, his kind of ability was not appreciated by other sects; the major sects do not want their ancestors or disciples' tombs to be constantly eyed by someone.

Furthermore, the corpses of some major sects' ancestors were also valuable.

During the Ancient Times, there was a nefarious disciple who used the corpses of the deceased disciples from major sects as food for the poisonous insects he raised.

Also, some Demon Cultivators processed the corpses of some major sects' disciples and used the corpses to murder and arson.

There was even a depraved Demon Cultivator who processed the corpses of some beautiful women into mummies, eventually serving as tools for venting his bestial desires.

In short, after many incidents, the entire continent had no good impressions of tomb raiders.

Since tomb raiding was Shi Potian's forte, he naturally became a public enemy of the entire continent.

In addition, Shi Potian had a terrifying skill; he could dig up a person's ancestral bones and then refine the bones using a special array, causing the person to suffer three generations of misfortune.

At first, everyone thought it was just worldly society's rumor, but after confirmation that Shi Potian indeed possessed this skill, people throughout the continent became extremely fearful of him.

It was said that Shi Potian had cultivated the Reincarnation Heavenly Skill and had consumed the Reincarnation Dao Fruit, able to see through a person's Dao Fruit.

At the beginning, many sects wanted to eliminate Shi Potian and snatch the Reincarnation Heavenly Skill from him, but not only did they fail to eliminate him, they were severely duped by him.

After that, the disciples from those sects suffered grave misfortune and hardship.

Since then, the name Plague God Shi Potian became widespread, and people dared not offend the Plague God carelessly.

"Do you have any special plans next?" Shi Potian asked.

"No, Brother Shi, I'm willing to serve you! We have had dealings before, you wouldn't trick me, would you?"

Duan Gujin said lightly.

"Hehe! How could I ever trick you? You know, I'm the common enemy of the entire continent now! Alas, I don't have many friends to begin with! Losing even one is truly a loss!"

Shi Potian let out a dry laugh.

Duan Gujin looked at Shi Potian and couldn't help but feel that his gaze was elusive, not at all like someone who was cooperating with him. His heart tightened suddenly, thinking that he must not be tricked by Shi Potian!

"Hehe, you're not very capable, but your subordinate is quite good!"

Shi Potian's eyes widened as he looked towards Tie Yi.

Tie Yi didn't understand why she suddenly became afraid of Shi Potian. She felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by his pair of eyes.

"Unexpectedly, you must have used a treasure that can control others' Divine Souls to control her, right?"

After a while, Shi Potian spoke up directly.

He had sensed a very special energy within Tie Yi's body, and his experience told him that this energy meant she was being controlled by someone.

If Tie Yi were just an ordinary woman, Shi Potian might have thought that Duan Gujin's methods were not on the Righteous Path.

But Tie Yi was a member of the Xingyu Clan. In his eyes, the Xingyu Clan was not much different from the Devil Clan.

Moreover, Tie Yi's strength was far above Duan Gujin's.

Therefore, he understood Duan Gujin's actions.

Duan Gujin immediately responded, "Yes, I had no choice. Her strength is too powerful. I had to use the Soul Transformation Seal to control her in order to save the Martial Artists of the Qiankun Continent!"

"Soul Transformation Seal? Is it a treasure from the Hua Hun Clan here?"

Shi Potian's eyes flickered, and he asked.

"Yes!" Duan Gujin nodded slightly, immediately becoming more vigilant towards Shi Potian in his heart.

"I read some records about it in an old classic. The Soul Transformation Seal was actually created by a Demon Cultivator to evade pursuit. That cultivator fled here, and then somehow disappeared in this place! It seems that the Hua Hun Clan got hold of that treasure!"

Shi Potian pondered for a moment. He made a conclusion based on some clues.

"Oh, so that's what happened!"

"Don't worry, I have no interest in the Soul Transformation Seal! Let's get going!"

So, Shi Potian led them to the entrance of a pitch-black cave.

"Beyond here is the lair of the Emperor Master Demon King!"

Shi Potian said to Duan Gujin.

"Brother Shi, tell us what we should do next."

Duan Gujin thought that Shi Potian must have special means to capture the Emperor Master Demon King.

"I was planning to lure him away before, but now I've discovered that the Emperor Master Demon King has been in seclusion all along and hasn't come out!"

Shi Potian said.

"Just tell us what we should do next."

Duan Gujin suddenly became eager.

"I was planning to deliberately kill some of his minions to lure him out, but now it's different. I plan to have you guys draw him out!"

Shi Potian said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's forehead creased with a line of frustration.

Now he knew that Shi Potian was using him as cannon fodder!

"This guy is really unreliable!"

In his previous life, Duan Gujin had heard many people label Shi Potian as a Plague God, but he had never taken it to heart, thinking he was only into grave-robbing. Yet in this life, Shi Potian was actually using him as cannon fodder.

This was intolerable!

"Don't worry, don't you have a very powerful subordinate at your side? You're not fighting alone!"

Shi Potian quickly encouraged Duan Gujin, and they discussed for a while.

After the discussion, they decided to sneak in together.

"Let's go in together and see."

After making preparations, they entered the lair of the Emperor Master Demon King.

To their astonishment, they did not see any members of the Netherworld Dark Clan near the lair.

As they entered the lair, they found the environment to be extremely damp and pitch-black, and their Divine Sense Detection Ability was also getting worse.

Duan Gujin knew in his heart that the thick fog in the underground cavern would naturally affect their Divine Sense Inspection Ability.

He looked around and noticed various grotesque rocks littered throughout the cavern.

As they progressed further inside, Duan Gujin's brows furrowed tightly. He found he could only inspect a few hundred meters around him and the extreme humidity made him uncomfortable all over.

After advancing about three kilometers forward, he sensed a powerful presence in the nearby Void. The strong sense of oppression made him very uncomfortable.

He quickly circulated his Primordial Power to dispel the oppressive feeling.

Shi Potian exhaled a breath of turbid air and his eyes emitted a strange and eerie glow.

He opened his eyes wide, scanning the surroundings.

After a while, he told Duan Gujin they should head in the left direction.

Moments later, he suddenly said to Duan Gujin and Tie Yi, "Prepare for battle, something's not right! It seems like there are Ghost Soldiers!"

Hearing about Ghost Soldiers, Duan Gujin's face turned pale.

He quickly made ready for battle, guarding against the approach of Ghost Soldiers.

They continued to move forward and, suddenly, Duan Gujin felt the temperature around them drop by several tens of degrees.

His heart leaped. He knew that Ghost Soldiers might appear.

After a while, he heard a series of rapid footsteps nearby. The steps sounded strong and rhythmic, just like a marching army.

As the neatly paced footsteps drew closer, Duan Gujin's forehead broke out into cold sweat.
