Duan Gujin and the elder went around searching for the Array Eye of the Killing Array.

He knew that the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array was not a high-level Killing Array. He hadn't detected the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array up ahead before, because thick fog completely enshrouded the area, making it impossible for his Divine Sense Inspection to sense it.

But now that he had entered the midst of the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array, he could distinctly sense the aura of the Killing Array in the surrounding void.

Even though the aura of this Killing Array was still very faint due to the obstruction of the thick fog, his Spiritual Power was extraordinary, and he truly sensed the complete aura of the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array.

After inspecting for a while, he found an Array Eye.

He immediately went to the Array Eye with the elder.

Upon seeing a stone pillar emerge from the ground, filled with energy and inscribed with various runes, the elder guessed that this stone pillar could be an Array Eye of the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array.

"What do you say I should do?"

The elder's face lit up with excitement.

"Just pull out this stone pillar, and half of the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array will be broken!"

Duan Gujin said calmly.

"Is it that easy?"

The elder looked at Duan Gujin with some doubt, somewhat disbelieving.

Duan Gujin smiled and said, "The Four-direction Illusion Killing Array consists of four stone pillars, forming a Killing Array. If we can pull out two of them, then the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array will be completely destroyed! If you only remove one stone pillar, the remaining Four-direction Illusion Killing Array can still exert one-third of its original Killing Array power!"

"I see!"

The elder suddenly realized.

"Elder, it seems you don't know much about Killing Arrays!"

Duan Gujin's eyes twinkled as he asked.

"There are specializations within every craft, and Killing Arrays are not my expertise! What's your name? How old are you this year?"

The elder asked casually.

His question was merely to save a bit of face after being shown up by Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin had already thought about joining the Blood Killing Sect beforehand, so he immediately answered.

"My name is Duan Gujin; I'm eighteen, about to turn nineteen. My current Cultivation level is at Martial Master First Layer! I have always wanted to join a Major Sect, but unfortunately, I haven't found a way."

Duan Gujin sighed as he spoke.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, the elder frowned deeply.

"You reached the Martial Master First Layer before you're even nineteen? Is that true?"

The elder asked seriously.

"It's true. I am from the Yuanzhen Continent and came to the Jiuzhou Continent as a refugee!"

Duan Gujin explained.

"I see!"

The elder's eyes flickered, and then he asked, "Which sect's Disciple were you back home?"

"I was a disciple of a Small Sect in the Yuanzhen Continent. Being from the Yuanzhen Continent, it's difficult for me to make my way here!"

"What are you capable of?"

The elder continued to inquire.

"I know Alchemy and am also skilled in crafting various Arrays!"

Duan Gujin replied lightly.

"At what level would your Alchemy skills be considered?"

The elder suddenly showed interest.

"My Alchemy skills are equivalent to that of a Fourth Rank Alchemist, and my Array crafting skills are equivalent to a Third-Rank Alchemist!"

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the elder's eyes flickered.

He analyzed briefly and felt that if Ruo Duan Gujin wasn't lying, then his aptitude would be considered above average in the Blood Killing Sect.

Even if Duan Gujin was an undercover agent from another sect, the elder didn't care anymore.

"Even if he's an undercover agent from another continent, he won't be able to stir up any waves within the Blood Killing Sect!"

The elder analyzed carefully and felt that he should recruit Duan Gujin into the Blood Killing Sect.

"Heh, even if we bring him in as a errand-runner, at least the young man is diligent!"

With this thought, the elder decided to recruit Duan Gujin.

"Young man, if you perform outstandingly in this operation, I can take you into the Blood Killing Sect!"

The elder promised.

At the elder's empty promise, Duan Gujin's mouth twitched slightly, showing his skepticism.

"Then thank you so much, Elder! I will definitely do well!"

Duan Gujin replied nonchalantly.

They exchanged pleasantries, and after the elder pulled up the stone pillar from the ground, Duan Gujin led him to the next one.

After a while, the elder finally managed to uproot another stone pillar.

"Excellent, I've finally broken through the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array!"

The elder was overjoyed, and he immediately returned to the group with Duan Gujin.

They extended their Divine Senses and saw that the faint Killing Aura that was in the nearby void had dissipated; they knew the Four-direction Illusion Killing Array had indeed been completely broken through.

"Let's move on!"

Everyone cheered at the news that the array had been broken through, speculating that the young man had helped the Blood Killing Sect elder to do so.

The team continued to advance another kilometer and noticed no presence ahead, which gave them some relief.

However, they did not lower their guard.

As they ventured deeper into the misty area, they grew more fearful.

The Blood Killing Sect elder took out a locating treasure from his storage ring, furrowing his brows deeply.

Even though the locating treasure didn't cause them to lose their way inside, they were now enveloped in dense mist, and everything around them was pitch-black, shortening the distance they could sense with their Divine Senses.

"This place is really eerie and terrifying!"

Sudden chills arose from the ground, and the group of martial artists on the ground went back on high alert.

After a while, they heard a series of rapid footsteps coming from a distance.

The sound was extremely uniform, resembling the footsteps of a mortal army.

Everyone gasped, immediately recalling a legend.

"Could there be Ghost Soldiers ahead?"

Duan Gujin had encountered Ghost Soldiers with Shi Potian before; he knew the best method when encountering them was to conceal any trace of one's aura to prevent the Ghost Soldiers from sensing their presence.

The elder's brows furrowed deeply. After a moment, he instructed everyone to conceal their internal Qi and emit no life aura.

"Elder, what if what's in front of us isn't Ghost Soldiers?"

One of the martial artists in the team questioned.

"Then you can go ahead and communicate with them! Don't drag us down with you!" the elder coldly replied.

Hearing the elder's words, the martial artist was furious, refusing to believe that the legendary Ghost Soldiers were actually ahead of them right now.

Here, one must conceal any trace of their aura if Ghost Soldiers were encountered, as it was common knowledge.

In legend, if someone imprudently did not conceal their aura upon encountering Ghost Soldiers, they would have their lives taken by the Ghost Soldiers and become a walking corpse.

Despite this, the martial artist stubbornly refused to believe it, thinking it very unlikely that they would encounter Ghost Soldiers here.

"We cannot possibly encounter the legendary Ghost Soldiers here! I've been to this place before! I don't believe it!"

The martial artist said as he rushed out hastily.
