Chapter 1525 - 1270: Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan
Duan Gujin listened to the request of the Seventh Imperial Uncle and was at a loss for words.He knew that the Seventh Imperial Uncle had already become a frightened bird, especially after hearing about the terrifying creatures from the Exotic Realm, he became extremely afraid of death.
He sighed and agreed to the Seventh Imperial Uncle's request.
Earlier, Duan Gujin had asked the Seventh Imperial Uncle to send his skilled followers to investigate any recent happenings on the Qiankun Continent.
Those skilled followers immediately went to various places to gather intelligence and reported the collected information to the Seventh Imperial Uncle.
As Duan Gujin reviewed the data, he quickly realized that the information was utterly useless.
"How is Meng Yun now?" Duan Gujin asked.
"She is still focused on cultivating within the Green Cloud Sect!" the Seventh Imperial Uncle replied.
Duan Gujin was quite curious about this old friend and immediately entered the Green Cloud Sect.
There, at the Green Cloud Sect, he met with the Sect Master and Meng Yun and others.
When they saw Duan Gujin appear, everyone became very excited.
Upon learning that Duan Gujin had already broken through the Nine Layers, they were shocked and filled with envy and admiration.
They had previously heard about the extraordinary identity of Duan Gujin's Master, and now they finally understood that Duan Gujin's Master was truly extraordinary.
Duan Gujin examined them, helping them make some adjustments to their vitality.
A day later, Meng Yun and others experienced another breakthrough in cultivation.
At the same time, to help Meng Yun enhance her cultivation,
Duan Gujin left her a large number of cultivation elixirs and some cultivation techniques to aid her in further breakthroughs.
Upon hearing that Duan Gujin was investigating recent abnormalities on Qiankun Continent, the Green Cloud Sect Master informed Duan Gujin of a peculiar matter he discovered.
"A mysterious island suddenly appeared on the surface of the East Sea, where a very powerful force prevents anyone from entering! Afterwards, I told a local Divine World Martial Artist about this information, and the martial artist said he entered the place and found nothing unusual. Despite this, I still feel that place is very eerie. I'm not sure why, but I have an unspeakable fear of that island! But we simply have no way to approach the island, so I have continuously deployed people to observe it. My subordinates discovered that an eerie energy fluctuation occasionally appears on that island, but they cannot enter to explore. So, no one knows what's really inside."
"When did the island appear?" Duan Gujin asked curiously.
"The island appeared a year ago!"
"Has there been anything abnormal with the island in that year?"
"No abnormalities. My subordinates noticed it occasionally erupts with a powerful dark attribute energy. Through our observation, we found that the energy becomes very strong during the full moon, while at other times, it remains very weak. Our martial artists here cannot enter the island, and the Divine World Martial Artist told us that he once entered the island and found nothing unusual inside."
Duan Gujin slightly nodded and asked the Green Cloud Sect Master to tell him where the Divine World Martial Artist responsible for guarding the teleportation array on Qiankun Continent was located, deciding to personally meet the martial artist.
As he approached the dwelling of the Divine World Martial Artist, he immediately sensed a peculiar aura emanating from him, an aura that felt somewhat eerie.
Realizing that the Divine World Martial Artist ahead was unusual, he concealed himself on the side, secretly observing.
He discovered that although there was only one Divine World Martial Artist ahead, he emitted an eerie death aura, evoking a chilling fear in Duan Gujin.
"It seems like I've felt a similar aura somewhere before!"
He pondered for a while and eventually thought of a type of being.
"I remember, this aura resembles the unique aura of the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan!"
To ensure he wasn't mistaken, he cautiously observed for two hours.
After two hours, he was certain he wasn't wrong; he confirmed that the Divine World Martial Artist ahead was from the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan.
The Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan is a very special species, neither part of the Demon Clan nor Exotic Realm Creatures, but a unique being living in a distinctive plane.
This being possesses a very unique ability; it can seize the bodies of other living creatures.
This ability is very similar to body seizure.
Thinking for a while, Duan Gujin felt that it was unlikely for the Divine World Martial Artist ahead to have his body seized by the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan.
Though the special ability of the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan seems quite powerful, it is only effective on beings with low cultivation.
And Divine World Martial Artists possess strong cultivation, allowing them to easily eradicate those from the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan.
Precisely for this reason, Duan Gujin believed it entirely unreasonable for the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan to seize a Divine World Martial Artist's body.
It's important to know the Divine World Martial Artists dispatched to Qiankun Continent possess at least a Breakthrough Realm cultivation.
Even if the Divine World Martial Artist ahead couldn't fully unleash his combat power due to the Rule Power of Qiankun Continent, he could still easily defeat an Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan member.
Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense, locking onto the Divine World Martial Artist ahead.
After a while, he determined the Divine World Martial Artist's cultivation was only at the Innate Ninth Layer.
With a flick of his body, he transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the body of the Divine World Martial Artist at extreme speed.
When the 'Divine World Martial Artist' realized, all his meridians were already sealed by Duan Gujin.
After sealing the 'Divine World Martial Artist's' meridians, Duan Gujin sent his Divine Sense into the opposing body and discovered that the person's internal organs were already wrapped in countless fine threads.
This meant that the body of this 'Divine World Martial Artist' had long been seized by the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan, and the current 'Divine World Martial Artist' was merely a walking corpse.
"Zizi zizi!"
At the next moment, the 'Divine World Martial Artist's' mouth emitted a sound that made Duan Gujin's hair stand on end.
Upon hearing that sound, Duan Gujin knew his earlier assessment was entirely correct.
He immediately acted, sealing the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan, preventing it from escaping the occupied body.
The Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan tried to escape the currently occupied body.
But in the next moment, it realized it couldn't escape the occupied body at all.
"Who are you?"
The Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan immediately shouted at Duan Gujin.
"I am a genuine Divine World Martial Artist. If you don't want to die, tell me everything you know! Why did you seize this Divine World Martial Artist's body, and who helped you seize this body?"
Duan Gujin questioned while simultaneously assaulting the Earth Netherworld Ghost Clan with Spiritual Power, attempting to destroy its defenses.
