An hour later, they had recuperated some Primordial Power.

Duan Gujin was extremely worried that the three Inner Sect Disciples from the Blood Killing Sect would catch up. He urged them to leave this place quickly with him and return to the Blood Killing Sect.

If it were only those three Inner Sect Disciples from the Blood Killing Sect pursuing him, he would employ the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps to shake them off.

But now he was encumbered by the presence of the two of them, unable to use the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps with them in tow.

His grasp of the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps wasn't enough to allow others to traverse the Void along with him; he could only make himself move through it.

"We must hurry back!"

After a long and difficult journey, they finally made it back to the Blood Killing Sect.

Upon seeing the gates of the Blood Killing Sect, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Should we report this matter to our elders?"

Ma Wenjing suddenly asked.

"Yes, we must. Three of our companions have perished, we cannot keep silent about this matter!"

Yan Chunxue added.

Ma Wenjing's dark eyebrows slightly creased as she said, "And after we report it? I'm worried that our elders will say we lack sufficient evidence to prove that those three were responsible for our companions' deaths! Moreover, we don't even know their names! Duan Gujin, do you have any suggestions?"

Duan Gujin furrowed his brow slightly and fell into contemplation for a while before speaking, "Here's what you should do; report this incident to your elders. After all, we've lost three people on our side, how they died, the elders responsible for us must be informed!"

"That's right! You're correct! Even if we don't have evidence, we still need the elders to know!"

Yan Chunxue agreed.

"Yes!"

Ma Wenjing concurred.

After bidding farewell to them, Duan Gujin returned to his quarters.

In his quarters, he thought to himself that even if Yan Chunxue and Ma Wenjing did inform their elders, it was unlikely that justice would be done for them.

Despite their side suffering three casualties, without any evidence, why would the higher-ups of the Blood Killing Sect believe their words?

A while later, Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I forgot, the Elders Council of the Blood Killing Sect can Soul Search! Yes, as long as the Sect Elders conduct a Soul Search on the two of them, they will know how those three Disciples died."

He recalled the last time when Ma Wencai brought a group of Sect Elders here to perform Soul Searches on them.

If the Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect want to uncover the truth, they would just have to perform a Soul Search on them.

He carefully reviewed his recent experiences on Hundred Saints Mountain and felt that the way he employed the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps on the mountain might indeed raise suspicion among the Sect Elders.

Aside from this detail, he felt there were no other flaws in his actions.

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, then closed his eyes, circulating his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power to make slight changes to his memories.

In his mind, another scene was formed.

Should an elder perform a Soul Search on him, he would convey the altered memories to that elder.

After accessing the altered memories, the Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect wouldn't have any doubts about him.

Two days later, Yan Chunxue sought out Duan Gujin and recounted what happened after she reported the event to her elder.

Today, her elder had informed her that the Inner Sect Disciples who entered Hundred Saints Mountain two days prior could not be found, and all of them denied having been there previously.

Hearing this news, Duan Gujin gasped in shock. He hadn't expected those three Inner Sect Disciples from the Blood Killing Sect would actually deny they had entered Hundred Saints Mountain.

"Could those Inner Sect Elders really believe the words of those disciples?"

Duan Gujin was dumbfounded.

Yan Chunxue slightly nodded in confirmation, "Yes, those Inner Sect Elders are completely biased towards their own Disciples. I don't know what to do anymore! The elder in charge of me said she can only help me this far. She's just an Outer Elder, and in terms of strength and status, they are no match for the Inner Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect!"

Listening to Yan Chunxue, Duan Gujin sighed.

This outcome was entirely beyond his prior expectations. He hadn't expected the Blood Killing Sect's Inner Sect Elders would protect those three disciples.

Logically, since the Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect had confirmed through a memory search that they were telling the truth.

Yet, in the end, they let off those three Inner Sect Disciples.

"Didn't expect it to turn out this way!" Yan Chunxue was filled with regret.

At this moment, she realized she was filled with disappointment towards the Blood Killing Sect.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and he too was very disappointed with the outcome.

But having lived two lives, he understood all too well the treacherousness of human nature.

The possibility that Inner Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect would protect their own disciples was also a reality.

After a moment of contemplation, he said to Yan Chunxue, "After you go back, make sure to stay inside the Inner Sect and avoid venturing out carelessly! If you really must leave, bring more fellow sect members with you!"

"Oh! I understand."

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Yan Chunxue became tense.

"Duan Gujin, do you think those three Inner Sect Disciples will kill me to silence me?"

"It's possible, but I don't think they would dare to openly kill someone within the sect. If they do intend to silence you, they are likely to act after you leave the Blood Killing Sect!"

Yan Chunxue gasped and quickly realized the plausibility of Duan Gujin's reasoning.

Those Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect might not dare to attack them in the sect, but once they left, even if they were killed by those three, as long as it was done flawlessly, who would know?

Contemplating this, Yan Chunxue felt a cold sweat on her back.

"Don't be overly anxious! As long as you stay mostly inside the sect, you'll be fine."

Duan Gujin could tell she was frightened by the look on her face and quickly offered reassurance.

"Don't comfort me! I know what I'll need to do from now on!"

After exchanging a few words with Duan Gujin, Yan Chunxue departed.

Watching her leave, Duan Gujin let out a breath of turbid air.

He understood that both Yan Chunxue and Ma Wenjing were surely afraid. They definitely did not trust that even if they let the Outer Elders search their memories and reveal the truth, they wouldn't be able to advocate for justice for those three fallen comrades.

Not only did they fail to seek justice, but they were also told to no longer concern themselves with the matter, causing even further distress.

"Could it be that one of those three is the son of an official or a rich tycoon?"

Duan Gujin's brow creased slightly as he considered this possibility.
