After all, he had previously acquired the Ultimate Thunder Hammer.

Two days later, he had fully mastered the Extreme Thunder Technique.

"If I use the Ultimate Thunder Hammer now and utilize the Extreme Thunder Technique against the Demon Saints in their early stage, I can still defeat those of the Devil Clan, it's just that there are two early-stage Demon Saints ahead, and with my current strength, I should not be able to defeat them! I must try to find the best moment to strike!"

Duan Gujin had been closely following behind the large group of the Devil Clan, yet the group had not noticed his persistent tailing.

The Suspended Holy Mother had already taken control of the entire Xuankong Mountain, and all the demons of Xuankong Mountain knew that once they were deemed rebels by the Suspended Holy Mother, their entire tribe would be eradicated.

Three days later, Duan Gujin sensed that the two Demon Saints ahead had left together.

His eyes suddenly shone bright; he knew this was very likely the best chance for him to make a move.

He released his Divine Sense to confirm the departure of the two Demon Saints, and then disguised himself as a spy of the Devil Clan.

A demon blocked his path and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing?"

"I am a confidant of the Suspended Holy Mother, I am here to find a Female Demon she demands!"

Duan Gujin indifferently replied.

"Token!"

The demon inquired.

Duan Gujin reached towards his waist and then stabbed the two guards with the pair of Flying Knives he drew.

"Ah!"

The two soldiers did not even have the opportunity to scream before Duan Gujin slit their throats.

Fortunately, this scene was not witnessed by other members of the Devil Clan.

So, Duan Gujin easily dealt with the two guards and sneaked into the inner ranks.

He found Miao Yu among the female demons and then left with her.

It was only after they had escaped dozens of kilometers that the Devil Clan noticed the disappearance of the two guards.

"Miao Yu, how do we get back to Hundred Saints Mountain now?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"We won't be able to return for a while; the Suspended Holy Mother has closed all the Teleportation Arrays!"

Miao Yu had inadvertently heard some members of the Devil Clan discussing the Teleportation Arrays, which, when closed to Hundred Saints Mountain, often remained so for a year.

Hearing that the Teleportation Arrays had all been shut down for a year, Duan Gujin gasped,

"Isn't there any way to open them?"

"I heard the demons say that now, each Teleportation Array is guarded by at least three Demon Saints!"

Miao Yu replied.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered; he thought for a while but couldn't come up with a strategy.

After some time, he detected a powerful Divine Sense Inspection coming from behind.

He immediately realized it was the Divine Sense Inspection of a Demon Saint, and quickly had Miao Yu and himself conceal their Life Auras.

He judged that the Divine Sense Inspection was at a distance, and it would be challenging for the inspection to find them precisely.

As long as they could avoid detection by the Divine Sense Inspection, they would no longer be pursued by the Demon Saints behind them.

Moments later, they sensed the strong divine inspection fade away, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense, making sure there was no powerful sensing in the vicinity before cautiously leaving with Miao Yu.

Meanwhile, at the camp, two Demon Saints reconvened with puzzled expressions. They had just received orders from the Suspended Holy Mother's Lotus Avatar to assist her in an investigation and had followed together.

When they returned, a scan with their Divine Sense revealed the disappearance of two Devil Clan guards behind them; their expressions drastically changed, and they proceeded to question the female demons.

The female demons had previously seen Duan Gujin take Miao Yu away. They didn't flee and did not join Duan Gujin in his escape.

Even if Duan Gujin wanted to take them with him, they wouldn't dare; they knew if they fled, their tribe would be annihilated by the Suspended Holy Mother.

The Suspended Holy Mother was known for her ruthlessness, and every Female Demon present had heard of it; they did not dare to offend her.

Soon, the female demons disclosed everything they saw to the two Demon Saints.

The two Demon Saints sent their subordinates to investigate Miao Yu's identity, and after a while, they discovered she was previously captured on the road.

Despite Miao Yu wearing a mask and appearing peculiar, the two Demon Saints thought she was beautiful and just passing by.

To fulfill the task given by the Great Mage, they decisively captured Miao Yu.

They were only concerned with completing their task and did not pay any attention to which demon tribe Miao Yu belonged to.

They discussed for a while and concluded that it was highly likely that a boyfriend or clan member of that female demon had come out to rescue her.

They initially wanted to continue searching for Miao Yu, but upon reflection, they decided it was best not to create complications.

In their view, it was merely one less beautiful female demon.

Besides, they still needed to continue completing the tasks assigned by Master Yan Yue.

To them, completing the task was the top priority.

"Let's go!"

The two Demon Saints decided to give up the pursuit of Miao Yu and instead went to capture beautiful female demons from other demon tribes.

Duan Gujin and Miao Yu kept heading eastward, and after a day, they arrived at the edge of Xuankong Mountain.

"We'll rest and recover here!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Okay!

Then, Duan Gujin told Miao Yu about the events that had happened in the tenth level.

After hearing it, she was immediately happy for Duan Gujin.

"This is the East Sea of Xuankong Mountain!"

Miao Yu told Duan Gujin.

"Oh, is there anything mystical about this place?"

"It is said that there are many sea beasts here!"

"Sea beasts?"

"That's right, Xuankong Mountain is actually a giant continent, and on the East Sea of this continent, there is an island where another group of demons reside. Those demons are known as the criminals of the Devil Clan, and they have been exiled there! The island is known as Exile Island. Of course, this is all what my father Zhan Luan has heard, and it may not be completely true. After all, you know, my father is not a demon of Xuankong Mountain!"

"Yes, yes!"

Duan Gujin took some time to recover his Primordial Power, and after regaining his strength, he started to wander nearby.

Soon, he captured some local demons.

He fed them the Divinity Transformation Pill, weakening their Divine Souls' resistance, and then forcibly read their memories.

After reading the memories of those demons, he learned more about this place.

"So it turns out that Zhan Luan was right about the island of exiles in the East Sea. That island is a prison that the Suspended Holy Mother uses to detain serious offenders – once an ordinary demon enters, it is almost impossible to escape!"

"If we were to enter that Exile Island, we'd only have a dead end!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his eyes flickered – he knew he might have to stay on Xuankong Mountain with Miao Yu for an entire year.

After several rehearsals in the past, he found that this place was very suitable for cultivation.

Therefore, he didn't mind staying on Xuankong Mountain for a year.

It's just that, by doing so, Zhan Luan would probably go crazy.

"Now that it's come to this, we have no other choice! Miao Yu, you've seen how the Suspended Holy Mother breaks her promises – it seems we really can only stay here for a year."

"Oh!"

Miao Yu exhaled, she had promised Zhan Luan before entering that she would return to Hundred Saints Mountain as soon as possible, yet in the end, they ended up having to stay here for an entire year.

"I don't know what my father will think; I hope he won't worry about me!"

Soon, the news that Xuankong Mountain had returned to the demon tribes' inhabiting small world reached Zhan Luan's ears. He learned that Miao Yu and Duan Gujin couldn't come back and immediately felt immense concern for them.

Meanwhile, within Xuankong Mountain.

"Miao Yu, let's just concentrate on cultivating here for some time!"

Duan Gujin said.

"That's the only option we have!"

Thus, they settled down in a village by the coast.

Duan Gujin took control of a local demon and crafted identities for himself and Miao Yu as relatives of that demon.

The local demons of the village did not suspect their identities, and truly believed that they were relatives of that demon.
