Chapter 690: Conspiracy for the Overall Situation, Undercurrents Re-Emerge
Dark Valley, a secret place in the human world, is surrounded by thick fog and never sees the sun all year round. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong shuttled through the fog and finally came to the entrance of the Dark Valley with their profound cultivation.
A huge stone door stood in front of them, with complex runes engraved on it, faintly emitting a dark light. The two looked at each other, then stepped forward and knocked on the stone door.
Soon, the stone door slowly opened, and a waiter in a black robe walked out, bowed slightly to Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong and said, "The master of the valley has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."
Passing through a long corridor, the two came to a spacious hall. The hall is decorated in a simple and elegant style. In the center is a huge stone table with several blue candles burning on the table, reflecting the figure of a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.
The man had a stern face and deep eyes. He was the master of the Dark Valley - Ye Wuhen. He stood up slowly and said to Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong with a smile: "You two have come from afar, I am sorry for not welcoming you, please take a seat."
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong sat down as he was told, looking around vigilantly. Ye Wuhen didn't seem to care, he waved his hand gently, and the waiter brought two cups of fragrant tea.
"Master Gu, Madam Ye, you two are both outstanding people in the human world, and I have always admired you. This invitation is actually to plan a big thing with the Tianxian Sect." Ye Wuhen's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
Gu Jiuchen frowned when he heard this and said, "Master Yegu, you are too polite. I just don't know what this so-called big event is."
Ye Wuhen smiled slightly, with a gleam of light in his eyes: "The human world is now undercurrent, and major forces are ready to move. Although my Dark Valley does not care about worldly affairs, I cannot sit idly by and watch the world in chaos. I want to unite with several major sects such as the Tianxian Sect to jointly resist foreign enemies and maintain peace and stability in the human world."
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes. Ye Wuhen seemed to see their concerns and continued, "Don't worry, my Dark Valley has no intention of annexing other sects. We just want to find a group of like-minded partners in this chaotic world to jointly protect this world."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Jiuchen slowly said, "Although the proposal of Lord Yegu is good, the situation in the human world is complicated and changeable, and the alliance is a serious matter. I need to discuss with the elders of the sect before making a decision."
Ye Wuhen nodded to show his understanding: "That's natural. But I believe that with the strength and prestige of the Tianxian Sect, it will definitely make a wise choice. Ye is waiting for good news."
Outside the Dark Valley, the fog seemed thicker than during the day, as if even the moonlight was swallowed by the endless darkness. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong left the hall of the Dark Valley, with thousands of thoughts in their minds, but their steps did not stop, as if they were pushed forward by this invisible pressure.
"Jiuchen, what do you think of Ye Wuhen's words?" Ye Linglong asked softly, with a bit of caution in her tone. She knew that this was not just a simple invitation to form an alliance, but also a chess game that concerned the fate of the entire human world.
Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Although Yeguzhu's words were sincere, they also revealed a hint of unusualness. The human world is undercurrent and major forces are ready to move. He chose to propose an alliance at this time. I am afraid there are deeper considerations behind it. However, as he said, our Tianxian Sect, as one of the pillars of the human world, has the responsibility to maintain the peace and stability of this world."
Ye Linglong nodded in agreement. She knew Gu Jiuchen's responsibility and wisdom, and always supported his decisions unconditionally. "Then what should we do next?"
"Go back to the sect first, inform the elders of this matter, and discuss countermeasures together." Gu Jiuchen's eyes were firm. He knew that in such a complicated situation, it would be difficult to deal with it alone. The elders of Tianxian Sect are all masters who have practiced for many years. Their wisdom and experience will be the key to determining the success or failure of this matter.
It was late at night when he returned to Tianxian Sect. There was silence in the sect, only the patrolling disciples held long swords and silently guarded this holy land. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong went straight to the Lingxiao Hall where the elders' meeting was located, and told them about Ye Wuhen's invitation and their ideas one by one.
The elders all looked solemn when they heard this. They knew that under the calmness of the human world, there was actually a turbulent undercurrent. Some ancient forces began to stir, and there were threats from the outside world quietly approaching. If they did not respond early, they would probably fall into a place of no return.
"Although Ye Wuhen's move was a bit sudden, it was also an opportunity." The elder Lin Yifeng said slowly, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything in the world. "Although our Tianxian Sect is strong, it is difficult to support itself. If we can unite forces such as the Dark Valley to resist foreign enemies together, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"But we still need to be careful about Ye Wuhen's motives." The second elder Li Wanqing said worriedly. Although she was a woman, her wisdom and courage were not inferior to men. "People's hearts are hidden, we must be on guard."
Gu Jiuchen nodded in agreement: "What the two elders said is very true. We do need to carefully investigate Ye Wuhen's motives, but at the same time, we cannot miss this opportunity to form an alliance. I plan to go to other major sects in person and persuade them to join our alliance."
As soon as these words came out, the elders' meeting immediately discussed it. They all knew that this was a difficult task, which not only tested Gu Jiuchen's wisdom and courage, but also concerned the future of Tianxian Sect and even the entire human world.
However, Gu Jiuchen was confident. He knew that he was shouldering the fate of the entire Tianxian Sect and even the human world. He stood up and looked at the elders with a firm gaze: "Don't worry, I, Gu Jiuchen, will not fail in my mission. For the Tianxian Sect and for the peace and stability of the human world, I will do my best!"
A few days later, Gu Jiuchen took Ye Linglong and several trusted disciples and embarked on a journey to other sects. They crossed mountains and ridges, crossed countless dangerous passes, and finally visited those ancient sects one by one after going through untold hardships.
Under Gu Jiuchen's sincerity and wisdom, many sects were moved by his sincerity and expressed their willingness to join this alliance. They knew that only by unity can they resist external threats and protect the peace and tranquility of this world.
However, just when Gu Jiuchen thought that everything would go smoothly, an astonishing news came like a bolt from the blue - Ye Wuhen secretly colluded with some evil forces, trying to use the power of the alliance to achieve his own ulterior purpose!
This news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Gu Jiuchen was furious, knowing that he might have fallen into Ye Wuhen's trap. But what worried him more was whether those sects that had joined the alliance would fall into an irretrievable situation because of this?
Faced with this sudden change, Gu Jiuchen did not choose to retreat. He knew that as the leader of the Tianxian Sect, he had to shoulder this responsibility and mission. He quickly summoned all members of the alliance and held an emergency meeting.
At the meeting, Gu Jiuchen made Ye Wuhen's conspiracy public and called on all members of the alliance to jointly resist foreign enemies and eliminate internal spies. His words were resounding, full of firmness and determination.
Under the leadership of Gu Jiuchen, the members of the alliance responded to the call and jointly formulated a detailed battle plan. They decided to send elite disciples to explore Ye Wuhen's movements and the specific content of the conspiracy, and then take corresponding actions according to the situation.
An unprecedented war is about to begin. In this war, how will Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong lead the Tianxian Sect and the entire alliance to resist foreign enemies and eliminate spies?
