"Elder Xie!"

Duan Gujin's face broke into a smile.

The previous situation seemed dangerous, but in fact, he was not at all afraid of those Demon Beasts.

He acted swiftly not to avoid seeing the Inner Sect Disciples die a miserable death.

He noticed that most of these Inner Sect Disciples became extremely panicked when they saw themselves surrounded by the Demon Beasts.

Duan Gujin knew that when surrounded by enemies, one should fight with all one's might, every single victory counts.

After the Demon Beasts were eliminated, everyone went forward to inspect their dens.

Soon, they saw many skeletons of birds and beasts, as well as numerous skeletons of the Human Clan.

Moreover, in some dens, there were various large and small eggs.

Seeing those eggs, the four elders instantly became excited and collected them.

Everyone searched the surroundings for a passage, hoping to find more dens.

Moments later, they discovered a deep, seemingly bottomless underground passage.

"This underground passage feels very deep, it might lead to an underground cave!"

One elder carefully ventured in, and fifteen minutes later, he emerged from the narrow passage that only allowed three people to pass through.

The elder told the others that he found a huge underground cave inside, which was very spacious and contained various large and small caves within.

"Should we report this to the people above?"

One elder asked the elder responsible for leading this expedition.

The leading elder furrowed his brows slightly, thought for a moment, and felt that there probably weren't any formidable Demon Beasts inside the underground cave.

"I think there is no need to report this to the people above. Look, this place is on the edge of the Hundred Saints Mountain, I don't think there will be any terrifyingly powerful Demon Beasts here. If we report this and the people above come here, find no formidable Demon Beasts or anything of value, how will they view us? Those people will only think that we are inefficient in handling matters!"

The other elders pondered for a moment and agreed with the leading elder's view.

Thus, they decided to take the Inner Sect Disciples and explore the underground cave.

Under the guidance of those elders, many Inner Sect Disciples entered the underground cave.

After entering the cave, Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense to inspect his surroundings.

At that moment, he sensed a force in the underground cave that blocked Divine Sense, preventing him from fully unleashing his Divine Sense Inspection ability.

Duan Gujin's eyes showed a hint of vigilance; he looked around and realized that the underground cave was surrounded by various densely packed small caves.

"This place always gives me an uneasy feeling!"

Duan Gujin thought to himself.

The previous battle had consumed a large amount of his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power, which he secretly replenished with a drop of ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, thoroughly recovering himself.

He scrutinized the various caves with his eyes, and after a while, his gaze settled on one cave in the underground cave.

Facing the pitch-black entrance of that cave, he had an intuition that there might be something terrifying inside.

"Everyone, spread out and search! You must be very careful, danger lurks everywhere here."

Soon, an elder instructed everyone to scatter and investigate the situation in the underground cave.

Duan Gujin then approached the cave entrance he had noticed earlier, and as he got closer, he felt the bone-chilling cold; bursts of Yin Cold Aura surged out from within the cave.

"Everything here is so cold, this place is truly bizarre."

He looked around and realized that only the cave he was in kept emitting the Yin Cold Aura, while the other caves, big or small, showed no anomalies.

He touched the surroundings of the cave entrance and found that the nearby rocks had formed a thick layer of ice.

He observed carefully for a while and realized that the cold air spread from inside the cave to its edges, forming a mist that condensed at the entrance and turned into ice.

The responsible elder, having previously noticed Duan Gujin's exceptional performance, came to him and asked, "Disciple, have you noticed anything strange here?"

Duan Gujin quickly responded, "Elder, I find this place very peculiar. I have an ominous premonition. Look at the continuous outflow of Cold Energy from this cave; it's completely different from the environment here!"

The elder nodded slightly after hearing this.

He looked at the entrance of the cave and the same thought flashed through his mind.

"There really is something odd here!"

The elder extended his Divine Sense to inspect the area.

However, like Duan Gujin, the Divine Sense Inspection was almost ineffective here; he could not discern what dangers lay inside the cave, but he sensed that there definitely was something unusual.

"This place is dangerous, don't rush in! Stay here and wait a while. After the others have searched the rest of this underground cave, we'll come back here to check!" said the elder leading the team.

"Alright!"

Since the team leader said so, Duan Gujin did not take any risks.

Moreover, he probably wouldn't dare to actually venture into the cave.

He sensed a powerful Evil Qi amidst the Yin Cold Aura and surmised that a Demon Beast capable of emitting such strong Evil Qi must be formidable.

"If there really is a Demon Beast in that cave, then its strength must be at least at the Martial Emperor Realm!"

He thought for a while and then distanced himself from the cave entrance.

The other disciples dispersed throughout the underground cave in search, but after searching for quite a while, they ultimately found nothing.

Eventually, the team leader's attention returned to the cave entrance that Duan Gujin had previously noticed.

"After a round in this underground cave, except for the unusual cold at that place, other caves are very normal! If there is a Demon Beast hiding, it would only be there!"

Thus, the leadership decided to delve into that cave to discover the truth.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the leading elder transformed into a shadowy figure, and his body vanished into the Void.

Moments later, everyone saw a figure rush out from the cave entrance.

Everyone immediately heightened their guard and cautiously watched the figure.

Once the figure stabilized, everyone recognized that it was the elder leading the team.

The elder immediately shouted, panic-stricken, "Everyone, get ready for battle immediately, there's a White Spider inside with strength at the Martial Emperor Realm!"
