Luo Ying's heart was filled with fear, but Duan Gujin quickly urged her to calm down.
"Luo Ying, don't be too nervous!"
Duan Gujin said secretly through voice transmission.
"I'm not nervous!"
Luo Ying responded.
"Look at your feet, they are trembling!"
Duan Gujin said with annoyance.
She looked down and indeed, her feet were shaking violently.
Her face flushed with embarrassnt, showing a shy expression.
"I just feel a little weak!"
She argued.
"It's okay to be scared! You really need to calm down right away, otherwise, we might be in trouble!"
Duan Gujin really didn't want any unexpected situation to occur, as he couldn't judge how strong the Demon Saint following them was; he could only hope that the Demon Saint was not too powerful.
They cautiously moved forward for several kiloters when suddenly, he saw a huge firework appear in the sky.
The firework hung high in the sky, without falling.
Seeing the shape of the firework in the sky, Duan Gujin's expression slightly changed, he imdiately rembered what it was.
"It's Shi Potian's Long-lasting Sky Lantern! Shi Potian is really here!"
His expression drastically changed as he then realized that the sudden appearance of the Long-lasting Sky Lantern in the sky would definitely attract the attention of nearby Demon Saints.
Indeed, very soon, he sensed a powerful aura bursting from behind, a figure rushing towards the sky.
"Demon Saint!"
Duan Gujin and Luo Ying, judging from the terrifying aura bursting from that figure, knew that it was definitely a Demon Saint; they held their breath, not daring to release any Life Aura.
Duan Gujin widened his eyes to observe the Demon Saint in the sky, already guessing what that Demon Saint was going to do next.
"Releasing the Long-lasting Sky Lantern here is useless! As soon as the Demon Saint here shows up, the Sky Lantern will be destroyed!"
Duan Gujin did not believe that the Demon Saint present would let the Sky Lantern remain untouched, especially under these circumstances.
Sure enough, he saw the Demon Saint fly into the sky and decisively take action against the Sky Lantern.
Following that, he heard a loud 'boom' and even saw the body of the Demon Saint fall from the sky as if knocked down.
"What's going on?"
Duan Gujin imdiately widened his eyes, carefully observing the silhouette of the Demon Saint in the sky.
A mont later, he saw a figure burst from the ground, directly pouncing towards the falling Demon Saint.
Then, the fallen Demon Saint's figure quickly counterattacked, and the two figures clashed fiercely in mid-air.
For a while, violent explosions reverberated endlessly, and strong spatial turbulence occurred in the Void.
Duan Gujin frowned deeply, although he didn't see the full picture, he guessed it was very likely that soone had ambushed the Demon Saint.
"With Shi Potian's strength, he shouldn't have the capability to ambush a Demon Saint!"
"Let's take this opportunity to escape now!"
Duan Gujin pondered for a mont, his eyes suddenly flashing as he decided to imdiately flee with Luo Ying.
To expedite their escape, Duan Gujin abandoned the Devil Clan mber he had captured earlier; he used the Netherworld Treasure Pearl to extend the reach of his Divine Sense Inspection even further.
He previously did not use the Netherworld Treasure Pearl because he did not want the Devil Clan to detect it.
Now, he could no longer afford to worry about that; he speculated that soon, a large number of Demon Saints would enter the area ahead, clashing ferociously with those who ambushed the Demon Saint.
If a large number of Demon Saints appeared here, it would not be easy for him and Luo Ying to trick their way past.
If the two of them were discovered by the Demon Saints, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Realizing that Duan Gujin's speed was unimaginably fast, Luo Ying began to worry.
She secretly transmitted her voice to ask, "Junior Brother Duan, is your speed too fast? Might it draw the attention of other mbers of the Devil Clan?"
Duan Gujin sighed softly and said, "Attracting the attention of ordinary mbers of the Devil Clan is not a big deal; I'm more worried about attracting many Demon Saints. Once many Demon Saints co here, whether they are victorious or defeated, they will definitely scour the vicinity for any suspicious individuals, making us extrely vulnerable!"
"Oh, right, that makes sense!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ying imdiately understood what Duan Gujin ant.
"Junior Brother Duan, you're so experienced!"
Luo Ying praised him secretly through voice transmission.
"Have you not experienced such a situation before?"
Duan Gujin retorted.
"No, this is my first ti encountering sothing as terrifying as today!"
Recalling the recent events, Luo Ying still felt a lingering fear, her heart pounding violently.
Duan Gujin, thinking that Luo Ying might have been sent by Hou Luoming as a distraction, felt sowhat uncomfortable.
However, upon further thought, he decided that all he needed to do was ensure her safe return to the Blood Killing Sect and then avoid provoking her afterwards.
He certainly didn't want a poisonous snake by his side that could bite at any mont.
Although along the way, Duan Gujin detected several mbers of the Devil Clan.
But noticing that these mbers were few and scattered, he did not take them seriously.
Whenever he found that so mbers of the Devil Clan were spaced out by region, he beca very cautious, fearing that Demon Saints might be lurking behind them.
He then rapidly moved forward with Luo Ying for over ten kiloters, and upon sensing a large group of the Devil Clan ahead through his Divine Sense Inspection, he imdiately stopped and found a corner to hide with Luo Ying.
"There's a situation! Conceal all aura!"
Duan Gujin urgently whispered to Luo Ying, instructing her to conceal all Life Aura.
Luo Ying had already concealed her Life Aura, not daring to act recklessly in a place where many Demon Saints could potentially appear.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, cautiously inspecting the movents ahead.
After a while, he detected hundreds of the Devil Clan mbers spreading out in a line, thodically searching area by area.
Confronted with such systematically active Devil Clan mbers, he imdiately tensed up, guessing that there might be Demon Saints behind these organized movents.
Handling even one Demon Saint was difficult, and if that Demon Saint gathered other nearby Demon Saints, he and Luo Ying would have only a dead end.
Monts later, they saw a powerful Qi rise from ahead and then speed off in the opposite direction to them.
Duan Gujin and Luo Ying concluded that the Demon Saint had likely gone for reinforcents.
After confirming that the Demon Saint had truly left, Duan Gujin rushed with Luo Ying quickly past the group of the Devil Clan mbers.
Although so of the Devil Clan noticed them, they were quickly deceived by Duan Gujin.
Ti swiftly passed, and a day went by just like that.
Duan Gujin's traveling speed was neither too fast nor too slow.
What troubled Duan Gujin the most was that he found himself truly lost in the Hundred Saints Mountain.
"Why have we traveled such a long distance, yet our sensing talisman is still ineffective? Could it be that the Treasure used by those Demon Saints is so powerful that it can shield the entire Hundred Saints Mountain?"
