Undoubtedly, those Human Clan members serving as construction workers would die en masse.

Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly burst with a gleam, his mind racing rapidly.

He couldn't stand idly by as Demon Saint Fu Di slaughtered those Human Clan members, but he immediately thought of a possibility.

"Why would Demon Saint Fu Di go to the trouble of capturing tens of thousands of Human Clan members at this time? Although he outwardly claims he wants them to build houses for him, I'm afraid what he really wants is to draw out Shi Potian, who is hiding in Hundred Saints Mountain, doesn't he?"

He analyzed for a while and felt that this possibility was the most likely.

"Uncle, do you think that Demon Saint Fu Di really intends to build a castle here?"

Duan Gujin tentatively asked.

"Have you forgotten what Demon Saint Fu Di's true form is?" Zhan Luan chuckled.

Duan Gujin immediately realized that Demon Saint Fu Di's true form was a giant Golden Eagle, and generally, Golden Eagles live in trees; they do not wish to be overly constrained.

"Understood!"

Duan Gujin instantly woke up to the fact that this was indeed Demon Saint Fu Di's scheme.

Since Zhan Luan had also seen through Demon Saint Fu Di's ploy, Duan Gujin immediately asked him how to rescue the tens of thousands of trapped Human Clan members.

"Duan Gujin, let me tell you this, I think there's only one purpose behind Demon Saint Fu Di's actions—he wants to lure out Shi Potian! He is now widely proclaiming across the territories of all the Demon Saints that he has captured more than ten thousand Human Warriors. In fact, whether he has actually caught that many Human Clan members, no one has seen with their own eyes, we do not know if it's true or false. In any case, he is now proclaiming it loudly! His purpose is to lure out Shi Potian!"

Zhan Luan asserted determinedly.

"Right! Other than you, does any other Demon Saint in Hundred Saints Mountain know his goal?"

Duan Gujin curiously asked.

"I think even if the other Demon Saints guess his purpose, they also won't lift a finger to help those Human Clan members! If it was the old me, I would also just treat it as a spectacle! The lives of the Human Clan are irrelevant to us, the Devil Clan!"

Zhan Luan said indifferently.

"I understand!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his mind whirring; he thought that even if Demon Saint Fu Di killed all those tens of thousands of Human Clan members, probably few of the Hundred Saints Mountain's Devil Clan would feel any sadness for those tens of thousands of Human Clan members.

"Perhaps only I can take action to rescue those tens of thousands of Human Clan members!"

Duan Gujin thought Shi Potian might not necessarily be in Hundred Saints Mountain right now, or perhaps after obtaining the Treasures from the ancestral tombs of the Hundred Saints Mountain's Demon Saints, he had already fled to the outer Human Race World.

He did not place his hope on Shi Potian, whom he considered to be the least reliable.

"What should I do next then?"

Duan Gujin took another deep breath. He thought that first, he needed to find out if Demon Saint Fu Di really had captured more than ten thousand Human Clan members.

If not, then there was no need for a rescue.

If true, then he had to consider how to conduct the rescue next.

He knew that if he really wanted to send those tens of thousands of Human Clan members away safely, he couldn't possibly lead them step by step out of Hundred Saints Mountain.

The only thing he could do was to set up an extremely powerful Teleportation Array here that could teleport those tens of thousands of Human Clan members out.

He knew how to construct some extremely powerful Teleportation Arrays, but he was lacking quite a few construction materials right now.

His mind racing, he immediately thought that what he should do next was to investigate the situation first.

"So uncle, do you know where Demon Saint Fu Di has imprisoned those Human Clan members?"

Duan Gujin immediately asked.

"This I'm really not too sure of. What the truth is, probably only Demon Saint Fu Di knows! Or perhaps this is merely a rumor he deliberately spread!"

Zhan Luan said.

"Oh! In that case, uncle, is there any way you could help me investigate the situation?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"No problem! After all, we are family!"

Zhan Luan laughed heartily.

Hearing Zhan Luan's words, Duan Gujin gave a dry chuckle, not contradicting Zhan Luan's statement.

"Well then, I'll go investigate the intelligence right away!"

Soon, Zhan Luan left the castle.

Three two-hours later, he finally returned.

Upon his return, he immediately reported the intelligence he had gathered to Duan Gujin.

"Duan Gujin, I've found out that there are over a thousand members of the Human Clan imprisoned in this place. As for where the other Humans are imprisoned, I really don't know! I've heard that there are already two Demon Saints guarding this place! If you plan to break in and rescue them, it will definitely be very dangerous!"

Miao Yu said to Duan Gujin, "How about this, I will go with you to scout for information!"

"Good! When you both go, you must be extremely careful! Do not casually approach the places where Humans are held captive; it is said that there are Demon Saints guarding there!"

Zhan Luan cautioned earnestly.

"Understood!"

Miao Yu immediately set off with Duan Gujin towards Demon Saint Fu Di's territory.

On the way, they began to discuss.

"Duan Gujin, if you really find tens of thousands of Humans imprisoned there, how will you rescue them?" Miao Yu asked.

"You've truly stumped me with that question! If there really are tens of thousands of Humans imprisoned there, I must build a large Teleportation Array here, so I can transport those Humans out! If there are no Humans held captive, then we will quietly leave! I think, Demon Saint Fu Di must have captured some Humans; it's just that he hasn't caught tens of thousands yet!" Duan Gujin laid out his plan; he knew that after finding out the number of imprisoned Humans, he would need Zhan Luan and Miao Yu's help to rescue them.

"Then let's go scout for information first!"

Miao Yu proposed.

"Right!"

They advanced for two two-hours and finally approached Demon Saint Fu Di's territory.

They intended to disguise themselves as members of the Beast-type Demon Clan, but after inquiring with some Devils living nearby, they discovered that the Devils within Demon Saint Fu Di's territory had strengthened their defenses, and the beast-type Devils had been driven to other places.

After hearing this, Duan Gujin had a sudden realization.

"I understand why Demon Saint Fu Di would do this!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath. He surmised that Demon Saint Fu Di drove those beast-type Devils to other areas of his territory in order to avoid capturing the wrong targets.

One should realize that massive Golden Eagles typically soar in the skies, preferring to fly high and rarely willing to descend to the ground.

Moreover, even if they land on the ground, their Combat Power would be greatly reduced.

If someone disguised as a member of the Beast-type Demon Clan entered Demon Saint Fu Di's territory, the subordinates of Demon Saint Fu Di could swiftly find those Humans.

"It seems we must be very careful to sneak in!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Mm, let's sneak in at night!"

Miao Yu suggested.

"Okay!"

They lay in ambush nearby, and only when night fell did they proceed cautiously towards the location Zhan Luan mentioned.

When they were a few kilometers away from that place, Duan Gujin released the power of his Divine Sense fully, aided by the Netherworld Treasure Pearl.

With the power of the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, he could inspect even farther distances.

If he didn't detect any situation ahead, he would continue moving forward cautiously with Miao Yu.

About half an hour later, he eventually found an Earth Demon Saint lurking nearby.

Considering the opponent was a Demon Saint, Duan Gujin gave Miao Yu a vial of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, which contained three drops of the Divine Milk.

He secretly transmitted the usage of the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk to Miao Yu, and then they continued to make their way carefully together.

Another 15 minutes passed, and Duan Gujin sensed another Demon Saint lurking in the dark.

"There are two Demon Saints here! It's very possible that Humans are indeed being held captive here!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath. He guessed that Demon Saint Fu Di definitely didn't station two high-level Demon Saints here without good reason.
