"The Devil Clan is digging three feet into the ground searching for Shi Potian; they won't possibly go back to look for him again!"
After settling his decision, he hurriedly communicated his plan to Luo Ying through thought transmission.
Luo Ying pondered his plan for a moment after hearing it.
"Junior Brother Duan, let's do as you suggest!"
She agreed.
"Alright, conceal the life aura from your body, do everything possible to prevent other members of the Devil Clan from detecting your presence! I have a special cultivation method that can help me and you block their Divine Sense Inspection!"
Duan Gujin quickly released the aura of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, then he transformed this aura to resemble that of the Devil Clan.
Luo Ying sensed the aura released by Duan Gujin and was surprised that it bore similarity to that of the Devil Clan. Her brows furrowed slightly as she suddenly entertained the thought that the aura Duan Gujin was now releasing may very well be from the Demon Path.
"Could it be that Duan Gujin is a Demon Cultivator?"
This thought flashed through her mind.
But after a short while, she dismissed this notion; she realized that the aura Duan Gujin emitted was incredibly faint, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
She immediately concluded that Duan Gujin was only simulating the Demon Path aura, rather than truly mastering the Demon Technique.
If a Human Warrior were to cultivate Demon Techniques, they would develop an aura similar to that of the Devil Clan.
The Martial Soul of the Devil Clan is essentially the true form of various Devil Clans, and those from the Demon Path often choose a Martial Soul of the Devil Clan they believe suitable for their own cultivation.
For example, some from the Demon Path who admire the speed of a cheetah would forcibly devour and refine the Martial Soul of a cheetah-type Devil Clan, thus obtaining a Cheetah Martial Soul, and the innate abilities it holds.
Certainly, those Demon Cultivators who pursue power would not just casually choose a Martial Soul of the Devil Clan; they would select the most powerful Devil Clan Martial Soul they could master.
Luo Ying had specifically learned how to identify Demon Cultivators previously, which is why she had first suspected that Duan Gujin was one of the Demon Path.
However, upon feeling the faint aura of the Devil Clan from Duan Gujin, she judged that he was likely not a Demon Cultivator.
"I think that aura must be used to confound the Devil Clan!"
Duan Gujin then enveloped Luo Ying in a portion of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul's aura, making it impossible for other members of the Devil Clan to sense that her aura was different from theirs.
When she was covered by the aura of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, Luo Ying immediately felt goosebumps all over.
"It's very uncomfortable!"
She thought to herself, but at this moment, she had completely concealed her life aura and couldn't circulate Primordial Power to resist the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant's aura.
Fortunately, the aura released by Duan Gujin was not strong, and she could still endure it.
"Can I take an Elixir Pill? I'm finding it a bit hard to bear!"
After a while, Luo Ying asked timidly.
"You can, but make sure that the Medicinal Power of the Elixir Pill you take is not too fierce. You must conceal the life aura from your body and not let any Devil Clan here detect it!"
Duan Gujin said earnestly.
"Okay!"
So, Luo Ying immediately took an Elixir Pill.
Moments later, the Elixir Pill began to take effect.
Feeling the warmth from the Elixir Pills continuously dispelling the coldness within her, Luo Ying immediately felt relieved.
Led by the members of the Devil Clan, Duan Gujin and Luo Ying headed in the opposite direction as much as possible.
Once they detected any members of the Devil Clan nearby, they would shift to the left to avoid arousing suspicions that they were backtracking.
After all, several Demon Saints from the Hundred Saints Mountain had ordered their kin to dig three feet into the ground and push forward step by step.
Along the way, some of the Devil Clan members inquired about their activities.
Duan Gujin told them that he had been ordered to check the left.
Hearing that Duan Gujin was checking to the left, those members of the Devil Clan did not focus their attention on them.
Before entering the Hundred Saints Mountain, the Sect Master of the Blood Killing Sect had prepared masks and garments for disguise, crafted to mimic the appearance of some Devil Clan members.
As long as they wore these masks and garments, at first glance, they appeared quite similar to real members of the Devil Clan.
However, the Devil Clan members would not only examine the appearance but also sense the aura being emitted.
Those from famous and righteous sects cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul, and even if some small sects preferred to be unorthodox, like the Blood Killing Sect, their deviation adhered to foundational principles—still cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul.
Therefore, normally Human Warriors could not simply don masks and garments resembling the Devil Clan and expect to go unrecognized by them.
Amidst uncertainty and anxiety, the two finally arrived behind those Devil Clan members.
Ahead of them, at least a few hundred Devil Clan masters of the Martial Emperor Realm were searching every bit of ground.
They dared not disobey the Demon Saints above, who, furious and lungs nearly bursting, demanded the Devil Clan find the Tomb Robber, Shi Potian.
The hundreds of Martial Emperor Realm Devil Clan masters did not dare to offend the Demon Saints above; they could only do their utmost in their search and did not want to be found negligent, causing the escape of the Tomb Robber.
Hence, when they met with Duan Gujin, Luo Ying, and the captured member of the Devil Clan earlier, they did not scrutinize closely, merely briefly inquired and let them pass, not wanting to waste their precious time on behalf of their kin.
Should a Demon Saint suddenly appear and see them pausing their work for idle chatter, they would certainly be met with thunderous wrath.
Duan Gujin emitted his Divine Sense, surveilling the surroundings; he dared not be careless, fearing the possible presence of a Demon Saint-level expert lurking behind.
"This could be a conspiracy!"
Unsure and apprehensive, he did not immediately leave with Luo Ying; he decided to assess the situation first.
Being extra careful with his Divine Sense, a short while later, he detected a Demon Saint lurking behind those hundreds of Martial Emperor Realm experts.
After pinpointing the approximate location of that Demon Saint, he drew a sharp breath.
His eyes flashed, and he immediately led Luo Ying and the Devil Clan member, moving towards the front slowly.
Seeing herself and Duan Gujin had run to the rear of those hundreds of Martial Emperor Realm experts but not choosing to escape and instead moving forward like the other members of the Devil Clan, curiosity filled Luo Ying's heart.
"Junior Brother Duan, why did you not immediately escape with me?"
Luo Ying all but whispered, communicating through a secret message.
Duan Gujin immediately responded through a concealed transmission, "There's a Demon Saint behind us! Be careful! Don't reveal our identities!"
Hearing Duan Gujin's transmission, she was shocked, and her complexion drastically changed.
She extended her Divine Sense but could not find where the Demon Saint was hiding; nevertheless, she believed Duan Gujin's words, knowing that his Divine Sense Detection Ability was superior to hers.
