While Duan Gujin and the others were still searching for a way out, all the elders of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect were mobilized, and the incident had also disturbed many high-ranking members of the sect.
"Terrible news, there's been a major problem with the Heaven Seizing Exam this time! A lot of participants have been teleported to who knows where!"
"Why did this happen?"
"I really don't know about that, it's possible we have a traitor in the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect!"
"A traitor?!"
After hearing that thousands of participants from the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect had been teleported to an unknown location, the disciples of the sect began speculating about who was responsible.
Despite the various conjectures, no one had actually witnessed how the participants had disappeared.
All could only guess that it was highly likely that there was a traitor within the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect who deliberately set up an Array along the test route and deceived all the participants away.
Upon learning this intelligence, the Sect Leader of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect sent out elders to investigate together.
Very soon, they found the underground stairway where those participants had been, and at the end they discovered a powerful Blood Demon Altar.
"It's the people from the Blood Demon Palace who set up the Blood Demon Altar here and kidnapped all the participants!"
Thinking of this possibility made all the high-level members of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect gasp in shock; they had not expected the Blood Demon Palace to blatantly provoke them and abduct all the participants right under their noses.
"You must conduct a thorough investigation to find out who the traitor is! Use the Spirit Heart Divine Stone on everyone who knows the inside story!"
The Sect Leader of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect knew that the number of elders who knew about the Heaven Seizing Exam was limited, and they were all high-ranking members of the sect.
The thought of a spy from the Blood Demon Palace infiltrating their sect made the Sect Leader's heart pound with fear.
"Are those more than one thousand four hundred participants just going to be left to the mercy of the Blood Demon Palace's slaughter?"
An elder couldn't help but ask.
"What else can we do? Look, this Blood Demon Altar has been completely destroyed; we have no way to determine where those participants have been teleported to! I can only hope that we find the spy as soon as possible!"
The Sect Leader's teeth were practically itching with hatred. He could not believe that, as the Sect Leader of a first-class sect on the Jiuzhou Continent, there was a spy from the Blood Demon Palace among them. If word of this got out, it would surely shock the martial artists of the Jiuzhou Continent and cause panic.
"Immediately report our situation here to the other sects, so that they can conduct a thorough investigation of their elders!"
A while later, the Sect Leader gave his command.
"Yes!"
The elder who followed him responded and immediately went to inform the other first-class and second-class sects' leaders and Sect Masters, so that they would be mentally prepared.
"Do you think, with so many things happening on the Jiuzhou Continent recently, it could mean that the Blood Demon Palace is ready to re-enter the worldly society?"
The Sect Leader suddenly asked.
"Possibly! I think we should still make comprehensive preparations in advance!"
The elder by his side said.
"Alright, let's go back immediately and gather all the elders, we need to prepare a full-proof strategy against the Blood Demon Palace!"
Meanwhile, Duan Gujin and the other participants were still trapped in the Illusion Array.
This time, Duan Gujin and the Martial Saint Martial Artist had already destroyed the preceding Illusion Array.
After they destroyed that Illusion Array, everyone immediately discovered that they had been teleported to a very desolate place.
Sensing the strong Netherworld aura coming from all around, Duan Gujin's brows deeply furrowed.
"Damn it! We've been teleported to the Demon Realm!"
"What?"
The Martial Saint Expert, who was with Duan Gujin, had his face change drastically upon hearing Duan Gujin's words.
In his previous life, Duan Gujin had personally visited the Demon Realm, so he was very familiar and understanding of the Rule Power of the Demon Realm.
Through his Divine Sense exploration just now, he realized that they must have truly been transported to the Demon Realm.
"Do you feel a very strong gravity here?"
Duan Gujin asked.
"Nope!"
The Martial Saint circulated his body a bit and didn't feel any strong gravity on himself.
"Then do you notice that every time you circulate your Primordial Power, your meridians feel very painful?"
Duan Gujin continued to ask.
That Martial Saint Martial Artist immediately circulated his Primordial Power, and after a moment, his expression drastically changed; indeed, with each circulation of Primordial Power, every one of his meridians felt extremely painful.
"My God! Why were we teleported to the Demon Realm? How do we get back now?"
The Martial Saint Martial Artist was frantic. He had heard many rumors about the Demon Realm, and in his heart, the Demon Realm was a very terrifying place. Moreover, once one entered the Demon Realm, even a Martial Saint Realm martial artist could not possibly return to the Jiuzhou Continent.
The thought of being trapped in the Demon Realm forever almost brought the Martial Saint Martial Artist to tears.
Duan Gujin immediately calmed the Martial Saint Martial Artist down and said: "I suspect that the Transmission Power that sent us away earlier was actually not strong enough, which means that we should still be within the Jiuzhou Continent, or rather, the area of the Demon Realm we are currently in is not far from the Jiuzhou Continent, which means there's a very high possibility that we've just been teleported to a corner of the Demon Realm, so we should look around to find a way out!"
"Oh, yes, you're absolutely right!"
Thus, the Martial Saint Martial Artist immediately teamed up with Duan Gujin, and they gathered all the Martial Artists to inform them of the high likelihood that they were in a small corner of the Demon Realm.
After hearing this, the other Martial Artists started howling in despair.
They were extremely fearful of not being able to return to the Jiuzhou Continent; the thought of not being able to return meant that they would be permanently trapped in the Demon Realm.
"Good heavens! Why did the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect teleport us to the Demon Realm!"
Many started howling in dismay.
Duan Gujin immediately calmed everyone down.
"Everyone, we all sensed that we were enveloped by a strong Transmission Energy and sent away. Do you know what this means?"
He shouted.
"We don't know!"
Many Martial Artists shook their heads in response.
"This means that we've only been transported to a place not far from the Jiuzhou Continent; we should still be inside the Jiuzhou Continent now!"
He repeated to the other Martial Artists what he previously said to the Martial Saint Martial Artist and then had the others think about it.
After reflecting over Duan Gujin's words, they indeed felt what he had said was true.
"So, what should we do now?"
Many immediately asked.
"In that case, let's split into groups; those who have reached the Martial Saint Realm, please raise your hand!"
Duan Gujin said.
Quickly, Duan Gujin saw nine Martial Saints raise their hands.
He quickly gathered those nine Martial Saints and shared his plan with them.
After hearing Duan Gujin's words, those nine Martial Saints then understood that Duan Gujin wanted each of them to lead one hundred forty-three people, and five Martial Saints would form one team.
