Chapter 697: The Abyss Undercurrents, the Confrontation Between Immortals and Demons

As the night fell, everything was silent. Deep in the Tianxian Sect, an uneasy atmosphere quietly spread.

Although the Nitian Pearl had been sealed, the ancient power sleeping in the abyss did not seem to have really subsided. Instead, it was like a sleeping giant beast, ready to go in the dark.

Gu Jiuchen sat alone in the quiet courtyard, closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the subtle energy fluctuations between heaven and earth.

Ye Linglong walked in quietly and said softly: "Jiuchen, I feel an unusual breath, which seems to come from the sealed place."

Gu Jiuchen opened his eyes, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes: "Linglong, I also noticed it. The power of the Nitian Pearl is extraordinary, and the turmoil it caused may not be quelled in a moment. We must be prepared just in case."

The two looked at each other and had a plan in mind.

Then, they summoned the most elite disciples of the Tianxian Sect and several core elders of the Nitian Guardian Alliance to discuss countermeasures together.

In the hall, the candlelight flickered and the atmosphere was solemn. Gu Jiuchen looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, although the Anti-Heaven Pearl has been sealed, the power of the abyss is still stirring. We must strengthen our vigilance to ensure that the seal is foolproof."

Ye Linglong added: "At the same time, we must send spies to closely monitor the movements of various forces, especially those remnants of the demons who once coveted the Anti-Heaven Pearl."

Everyone nodded and took the order and left.

The Tianxian Sect once again entered a state of emergency. Every disciple was on edge to protect this peaceful land.

A few days later, an inexplicable mist quietly enveloped the mountains where the Tianxian Sect was located.

This mist not only obscured the sky, but also seemed to have a suction force, swallowing all the sounds around.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong noticed this change at the same time. They flashed and came to the edge of the mist.

The mist was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you, and there was a faint gloomy atmosphere in it.

"What is this?" Ye Linglong frowned and looked at the mist in front of her vigilantly.

Gu Jiuchen shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, but he could feel the profound power contained in it, which was extraordinary.

"It seems that the seal of the Anti-Heaven Pearl has begun to be affected. We must find out the truth as soon as possible and stop all this."

The two gritted their teeth, rushed into the mist directly.

The fog was thick and their vision was blocked, but they relied on their extraordinary cultivation and tacit cooperation to go deeper step by step.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded, as if it came from the underworld, shaking people's minds.

Then, a huge monster rushed out of the mist, surrounded by black air, with eyes like torches, staring straight at Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

"This is... the abyss monster!" Ye Linglong exclaimed, she waved the emerald green long sword, and the green flame instantly turned into a sword energy, slashing at the monster.

Gu Jiuchen was not to be outdone, his ancient sword shone brightly, and he fought side by side with Ye Linglong.

The two of them fought with the monster, the sword light and the black air intertwined, and the deafening roar resounded through the sky.

However, this monster seemed to be more powerful than they imagined, relying on the power of the abyss, gradually gaining the upper hand.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked solemn, and a trace of worry arose in their hearts.

"Jiuchen, this is not a solution. We must find the weakness of this monster before we can defeat it." Ye Linglong said while fighting.

Gu Jiuchen nodded, his eyes were like torches, carefully observing every move of the monster.

Suddenly, he noticed a black mark on the belly of the monster, and there was a faint light flashing in the mark, which seemed to be the source of the monster's power.

"Linglong, attack its belly mark!" Gu Jiuchen shouted, and at the same time his body suddenly rose up, and a sword was swung out, directly approaching the monster's vitals.

Ye Linglong understood, and the emerald long sword turned into a green lightning, following closely behind.

The sword lights of the two met in the air, turning into a dazzling light, and went straight to the belly of the monster.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the belly of the monster was pierced by a sword, and the black mark was broken.

The monster let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the black air around it dissipated.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they knew that this was only a temporary victory, and the real challenge was still behind.

Back to the Tianxian Sect, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong immediately summoned all members of the Anti-Heaven Guardian Alliance to discuss countermeasures together.

Inside the hall, everyone looked solemn and the atmosphere was tense.

"Everyone, the power of the abyss has begun to stir. We must work together to resist this power." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice.

Ye Linglong continued, "We must strengthen the protection of the seal and send more spies to monitor the movements of various forces. In addition, we must strengthen the defense of the sect to prevent accidents."

Everyone nodded in agreement and took their orders.

The Heaven-Defying Guardian Alliance once again demonstrated its strong cohesion and combat effectiveness, and the entire continent was shocked by this power.

However, the power of the abyss is far more powerful than they imagined.

As the monster fell to the ground, the fog seemed to dissipate a little, but there was still an indelible sense of depression in the air.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood side by side on the ruins, looking at the still hazy sky in the distance, and their hearts were heavy.

"This fog came strangely. I'm afraid it's a test of the power of the abyss." Gu Jiuchen frowned, his eyes were like torches, as if he could penetrate the thick fog and look directly into the unknown abyss.

Ye Linglong nodded in agreement, with a hint of worry in her voice: "Yes, we must find out the source of this fog as soon as possible and why it appeared at this moment. At the same time, we must guard against the remnants of the evil ways taking advantage of the opportunity."

The two discussed for a moment and decided to split into two groups.

Gu Jiuchen was responsible for strengthening the defense of the Tianxian Sect, and personally went to the library to consult ancient books and find a way to crack the fog; while Ye Linglong led a team of elite disciples to go deep into the fog and explore its roots.

Gu Jiuchen stepped into the library, and a heavy book fragrance hit him in the face.

He shuttled between the bookshelves, his fingers gently brushed over the ancient books, his heart full of expectations and uneasiness.

Finally, in an ancient book that had been sealed for a long time, he found a record about the fog of the abyss.

The book records that the abyss fog is formed by the resentment and power of the spirit of the abyss. It can not only block vision, but also erode people's hearts and make people lose their way. Only with pure spiritual power and firm will can the barrier be broken.

Gu Jiuchen's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the emerald green sword in Ye Linglong's hand-it was a magic weapon containing natural spiritual power, which might be the key to breaking the fog.

He quickly informed Ye Linglong of this discovery and ordered people to copy down the records in the ancient books in detail for emergency use.

At the same time, the team of disciples led by Ye Linglong had gone deep into the fog.

In the fog, the vision was blocked, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers. But they relied on their extraordinary cultivation and firm beliefs to move forward step by step.

Suddenly, a strange laugh echoed in the fog, and then several black shadows rushed from all directions.

These black shadows were ghostly and fast, and they were obviously spies of the remnants of the evil.

Ye Linglong snorted coldly, and the emerald long sword was unsheathed in an instant. The green flames turned into sword energy, and shuttled freely in the fog.

Her sword moves were sharp and precise, and each sword was aimed directly at the vital points of the black shadows.

However, these black shadows seemed to have immortal bodies. Even if they were hit by the sword energy, they only turned into a wisp of black smoke and then condensed into shape again.

"Sure enough, there is a trick!" Ye Linglong thought to herself. She quickly adjusted her tactics and ordered her disciples to form a formation to fight these difficult enemies with collective strength.

After a fierce battle, Ye Linglong finally discovered the weakness of these black shadows-although they can be transformed into invisible, they are ultimately condensed by the power of the abyss, and they have a natural fear of pure spiritual power.

So, she had an idea and used the method of cracking recorded in ancient books, condensing the pure spiritual power in her body on the tip of the sword, and swung it violently.

"Sword breaks the barrier!" With Ye Linglong's clear shout, a bright sword light cut through the fog and rushed straight towards the black shadows.

Wherever the sword light passed, the shadows dissipated, as if they were purified.

When Ye Linglong returned to Tianxian Sect with the good news, Gu Jiuchen had prepared a plan to deal with the invasion of fog and demons according to the records in ancient books.

He summoned all the disciples of Tianxian Sect and members of the Anti-Heaven Guardian Alliance to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, the power of the abyss is stirring, and we can no longer sit idly by.

We must unite as one and resist this evil force together." Gu Jiuchen's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the hall.

Ye Linglong took over the conversation and continued: "I have found a way to break the fog. As long as we work together, we will be able to dispel this haze. At the same time, we must strengthen our vigilance to prevent the remnants of the demons from taking the opportunity to cause chaos."

Everyone agreed with what he said and left one after another.

The disciples of Tianxian Sect and Anti-Heaven Guardian Alliance gathered again. They set up many formations to protect Tianxian Sect like a copper wall and iron wall.

A few days later, the fog came again, but this time, the Tianxian Sect was fully prepared.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong worked together to perform their special skills, integrating the pure spiritual power with the power of nature, turning it into a bright beam of light that rushed straight into the sky.

"Break!" With a roar from the two, the beam of light suddenly exploded, tearing the fog into pieces.

At the same time, the disciples of the Tianxian Sect and the Anti-Heaven Guardian Alliance also took action and launched a fierce battle with the remnants of the demons who took advantage of the opportunity to enter.
