Duan Gujin made his battle preparations, and then entered the mausoleum with Tie Yi.

"Master, you were so awesome just now! You're really amazing!"

Tie Yi's eyes shone brightly as she praised with all her heart.

"Of course! It's a must!"

Duan Gujin replied nonchalantly, without a hint of blush on his face or skipped heartbeat.

Tie Yi looked at Duan Gujin, her eyes flickering, her heart racing.

"Why is your face so red? Are you hurt?"

Duan Gujin caught a glimpse of an abnormal redness on Tie Yi's face and thought she might be injured.

"I'm not hurt! I'm just feeling a bit unwell, it's nothing. Don't worry!"

Tie Yi was coyly shy.

Duan Gujin glanced at Tie Yi, assuming she was just worn out from before and didn't think much of it.

He never imagined that his earlier actions would make Tie Yi's heart flutter, making her feel blissful at that moment.

She had nearly exhausted all her strength before and thought she was doomed, believing her master wouldn't come to her rescue. She didn't expect that at the critical moment, Duan Gujin would make his move, crossing a Great Realm and several smaller realms to ultimately defeat that clone.

She had seen much ugliness in the Xingyu Clan, and a master like Duan Gujin who would sacrifice himself for a slave seemed like an anomaly to her.

Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath, his mind moved, and he entered the mausoleum with Tie Yi.

However, something unexpected happened. He did not see magnificent structures, but instead a series of wormhole-like caves.

He sharply inhaled, realizing that what he was seeing must be the Netherworld Wormholes of the Netherworld Dark Clan.

"Where is Shi Potian? Could he have entered these wormholes?"

Duan Gujin's face changed as he immediately recalled some legends about the Netherworld Dark Clan's wormholes.

It is said that the Netherworld Dark Clan's wormholes should not be entered lightly, as the end of each one could potentially lead to a maelstrom of space-time.

If one was not familiar with the layout of the Netherworld Dark Clan's wormholes, they might accidentally get teleported into the torrent of space-time.

Duan Gujin looked around, finding no signs of any structures or any trace of Shi Potian.

He sent his Divine Sense Inspection into the wormholes ahead of him and, after a while, sensed some residual Transmission Energy in the nearby void.

"This place must have triggered Transmission Energy before!"

Duan Gujin's expression changed again, his eyes flickering, unsure of what to do next.

After a moment, he suddenly sensed Transmission Energy beginning to gather around him, and he quickly instructed Tie Yi to help him rapidly escape the area.

"Let's retreat quickly!"

With a flash, he and Tie Yi swiftly left the place.

Once they escaped outside the mausoleum and were sure that no Transmission Energy was following them, Duan Gujin let Tie Yi stop.

"Could it be that Shi Potian has disappeared?"

His mind raced as he reflected on everything that had just happened, feeling a chilling sense of dread and his heart pounding violently.

"Let's go back!"

Duan Gujin felt that the entire Underground Mausoleum was probably enveloped by powerful Transmission Energy; rashly barging in could lead to unimaginable consequences.

"I'll come back here later to look for Shi Potian and see if I can find him! He must have seen that this place was a passageway to the Netherworld Dark Clan's wormholes; if he dared to venture in, it's his own fault!"

He exhaled deeply, thinking that Shi Potian is a bona fide tomb-raiding expert and might have entered the wormholes and found Treasure.

But obviously, Duan Gujin's own power was not sufficient at the moment; he certainly didn't want to take his chances wandering through the Netherworld Dark Clan's wormhole passages.

This time, his transportation to the Fire Cloud Continent had resulted from a mishap with the Netherworld Wormholes.

He immediately returned with Tie Yi to the spot where he had safely hidden Lie Lei and the others.

After catching up, he learned that the previous Space Crystal Wall had disappeared.

So he entered the ice mountain area with the others and brought them to the top of a high mountain.

"Stay here for now, I'm going to check on Queen Her Majesty!"

Duan Gujin previously made an agreement with Queen Her Majesty to help him find other Human Warriors, and his task was to help her eliminate the Fire Demon Spirit.

Although some Human Warriors have gone missing on the Fire Cloud Continent, since Lie Lei and the others decided to give up on those warriors, he could only abandon them as well.

Eliminating the Fire Demon Spirit, however, wasn't a difficult task for Duan Gujin.

So, he went to help Yan Yuqing deal with the Fire Demon Spirit, believing he should keep his word.

"After eliminating those Fire Demon Spirits, I will set you free, and then it's time for me to go home!"

Duan Gujin told Tie Yi, to reassure her.

Hearing his words, Tie Yi's eyes flickered with a sense of loss.

If this had been asked over ten days ago, she would have wished to perish alongside Duan Gujin.

But now that she heard she was about to gain her freedom soon, a sense of loss appeared in her heart, something she had never felt before.

Lie Lei spoke up, "Duan Gujin, I see you don't have any suitable Dark Weapons for a Martial Master Realm. I have some here, take them for your use!"

"Great! Thank you, Sect Master Lie!"

Duan Gujin knew he currently had no proper Dark Weapons to defeat enemies.

Since Lie Lei was willing to provide him with Martial Master Realm Dark Weapons, he was naturally very pleased.

Previously, when Lie Lei saw that Duan Gujin's Cultivation had broken through to Martial Master First Layer, he couldn't calm his inner turmoil.
