Duan Gujin carefully controlled the corpses to move forward, not willing to encounter any Netherworld Sect Disciples at the ruins.
Fortunately, the Evil Eye could sense everything in the ruins, allowing him to effortlessly avoid the Netherworld Sect Disciples.
Shortly after, he picked up a piercing scream coming from a secret chamber underground in the ruins.
To Duan Gujin's disappointnt, the Evil Eye couldn't send back clear images, and he could only see blurred figures along with the sound of wails as chilling as those of malevolent ghosts.
"Could it be because it's an underground secret chamber?"
An idea flashed through Duan Gujin's mind, and he wanted to get closer to that underground chamber.
However, he quickly discovered that there were several Netherworld Sect Disciples guarding the entrance to the chamber.
"I'm dood! Looks like I can only try to get as close to that chamber as possible!"
Duan Gujin didn't let the corpses follow him but approached the underground chamber alone.
After a while, he noticed the images relayed by the Evil Eye beca much clearer, so he didn't advance further.
He saw at least a dozen people brawling within the secret chamber, with several bodies lying on the ground, and many others sitting cross-legged ditating, occasionally breaking into heated argunts.
After listening closely for a while, Duan Gujin put so thought into it and figured out the general truth.
"So that's it! There were originally two factions within the Netherworld Sect, neither willing to give in, each wanting to kill the other! Ever since they discovered this site of the Netherworld Dark Clan, they have been coveting the treasures here. As a result, they attacked each other stealthily and fought fiercely right here!"
As far as Duan Gujin was concerned, the more fiercely the Netherworld Sect fought among themselves, the better it was for him.
After all, the Netherworld Sect was the chief culprit behind the downfall of the Green Cloud Sect.
If the Netherworld Sect was completely destroyed, then the Green Cloud Sect surely would not perish.
A glint flickered in Duan Gujin's eyes as he thought maybe he could intensify the internal strife within the Netherworld Sect, making the two factions fight even more viciously.
A glint flickered in Duan Gujin's eyes again as he thought of ways to incite discord.
"Hehe, I hope you fight more and more fiercely!"
After carefully observing for a while, he noticed that the Disciples in the underground chamber were all at the martial master level, with one or two whose Cultivation seed to be of Emperor Wu level.
Duan Gujin gasped, judging that those he was watching must be the top masters of the Netherworld Sect.
"The Emperor Wu level masters of the Netherworld Sect have fallen in the chamber; it seems this internal conflict must be between the high ranks!"
Duan Gujin was overjoyed in his heart, wishing all the Netherworld Sect's higher-ups would just die off.
"As long as all the Netherworld Sect's higher-ups die off, half of the Green Cloud Sect's crisis will be resolved!"
Duan Gujin exhaled, his brain whirring as he rapidly recalled any intelligence he had acquired about the Netherworld Sect in his previous life.
But no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't recall having heard of any infighting within the Netherworld Sect in his past life.
To his recollection, he rembered the Netherworld Sect was very united.
"One possibility is that the Netherworld Sect didn't dare to publicize their internal strife! The victorious faction might well claim that the other faction's forces were wiped out by the Green Cloud Sect, inciting the other side's forces to fight a do-or-die battle with the Green Cloud Sect!"
Duan Gujin made up the remaining plot developnts in his head and imdiately saw that the faction about to win was a major villain.
"It seems I really need to divide the Netherworld Sect!"
A flicker in Duan Gujin's eyes, and he decided that he should do his best to sow dissension among the high ranks of the Netherworld Sect.
If he could cause the Netherworld Sect to split into two equally strong forces, that would be a joyous event for the Green Cloud Sect and him.
Thus, he infused his Primordial Power into the Evil Eye, wanting to see the conditions inside the chamber even more closely.
This ti, he observed for a full 15 minutes before he realized which factions the two groups inside the secret chamber belonged to.
"One side is actually Sect Master Han Zhanyi, while the other is Deputy Sect Master Dong Tianheng!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, as he was montarily unable to decide which side to support.
After much thought, he finally recalled an elder of the Green Cloud Sect, on the brink of annihilation, cursing Han Zhanyi for his betrayal and violation of trust. It dawned on him that the likely culprit behind Green Cloud Sect's demise could be Han Zhanyi, the Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect.
"So, I should aid Dong Tianheng!"
During the Green Cloud Sect's fall, Duan Gujin was too weak and could only choose to retreat with the majority of the sect.
He was lucky to have escaped, but the majority of the Green Cloud Sect's disciples perished in that massacre.
Duan Gujin understood that his current strength was nothing but trash compared to the high ranks of the Netherworld Sect inside the secret chamber.
Seeing that Dong Tianheng and his companions were about to collapse, Duan Gujin resolutely took action.
He hurriedly sent a Divine Thought to the corpses controlled by the Evil Eye, ordering them to rush into the underground chamber.
After 15 minutes, those corpses finally made their way into the underground chamber.
Upon seeing those corpses, every one of the Netherworld Sect Disciples was sowhat taken aback.
"My god! What is this?"
"They look like zombies!"
"Heavens! Look at how stiff their movents are! They must truly be zombies!"
After a discussion, the Netherworld Sect Disciples all agreed that what appeared before them was a group of zombies.
"Attack! Everyone, together!"
A high-level mber of the Netherworld Sect shouted loudly, urging everyone present to attack.
Duan Gujin controlled the Evil Eye, causing one of the corpses to rapidly charge towards the Netherworld Sect Disciples.
When it reached a certain distance, he made the corpse self-destruct.
A loud boom resonated, and many parts of the underground chamber imdiately cracked.
The explosion injured several Netherworld Sect Disciples who had no ti to defend themselves.
The injuries on the Netherworld Sect Disciples weren't severe; they had intended to quickly annihilate those zombies.
But in the next mont, they felt an unbearable itching all over their bodies.
Looking down at themselves, they discovered that the blast wounds had beco pitch-black as ink.
"Damn it! We've been poisoned!"
The poisoned Netherworld Sect Disciples' complexions drastically changed, shock in their hearts as they didn't expect to be struck by severe poison within re five breaths.
"Such fierce poison!"
The poisoned Netherworld Sect Disciples gasped for air and began to circulate their Primordial Power, trying to expel the potent poison.
However, the very next mont, they were all stunned.
"What's going on? How could this be?"
The Netherworld Sect Disciples quickly realized sothing was amiss; the more they circulated their Primordial Power, the faster the poison 'corroded' them, leaving their bodies weak and powerless.
They imdiately ca to their senses and took out Detoxification Elixir from their storage rings, swallowing them down.
