Chapter 741 Undercurrent

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked side by side at the front of the team. They observed the surrounding environment and vigilantly paid attention to the surrounding movements.

"Be careful!" Ye Linglong suddenly shouted, and at the same time swung out a sword energy, shooting down a hidden arrow shot at Gu Jiuchen.

"Who is it?!" Gu Jiuchen's face sank, and his eyes were like lightning, scanning the surroundings.

"Hehehe, Gu Jiuchen, I didn't expect you to have this day!" Accompanied by a gloomy laugh, the figure of the Black Demon Cult leader slowly walked out of the darkness, and behind him, there were dozens of Black Demon Cult disciples, each holding a sharp blade, murderous.

"Black Demon Cult?!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes flashed with a cold light, "You are so brave, you dare to set an ambush here!"

"Humph, today is your death day!" The Black Demon Cult leader snorted coldly, waved his hand, "Kill them!"

Upon hearing this, the Black Demon Cult disciples immediately swarmed up and launched a fierce attack on Gu Jiuchen and others.

"Protect the master!" Elder Li shouted, leading all the disciples to resist.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the ruins. Elder Li was startled and turned his head to see Zhao Wuji and his disciples fighting with the disciples of Tianxian Sect.

"Zhao Wuji! What do you mean?!" Elder Li shouted angrily, and the whisk in his hand suddenly swung out, turning into silver light, repelling several of Zhao Wuji's men.

Zhao Wuji sneered and said, "Elder Li, let's not beat around the bush. Today I will take Gu Jiuchen's life. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"You dare!" Elder Li was furious. He knew that Zhao Wuji was cruel and ruthless, and today's matter might not end well.

"Why shouldn't I dare?" Zhao Wuji smiled arrogantly, swung the long sword in his hand, and went straight to Elder Li's face.

At this moment, two figures came like lightning, one on the left and one on the right, defusing Zhao Wuji's attack.

"Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Zhu!" Elder Li was surprised and delighted. The people who came were Liu Yaonian and Zhu Tai.

"Elder Li, how is the situation with the sect master?" Liu Yaonian asked in a deep voice.

"The situation is critical. The Black Demon Sect Leader has set an ambush himself. Let's go to support!" Elder Li said anxiously.

"Okay, leave it to us!" Zhu Tai nodded, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and the sword light was sharp, approaching Zhao Wuji.

Liu Yaonian was not to be outdone. The long sword in his hand danced like a spirit snake, and the sword energy was crisscrossed. Together with Zhu Tai, Zhao Wuji was entangled tightly.

"Damn it!" Zhao Wuji cursed in his heart. The two men were very powerful. For a moment, he couldn't get away.

At this time, in the depths of the ruins, Qi Rong and Li Yifeng were exploring carefully.

"Yifeng, what treasure do you think is in this relic that caused the Black Demon Cult to go to such great lengths?" Qi Rong asked curiously.

Li Yifeng shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but judging from the scale of this relic, it's probably something extraordinary."

As the two walked and talked, Li Yifeng suddenly slipped and stepped on a stone slab, and fell down.

"Yifeng!" Qi Rong was shocked and looked over, only to see that the place where Li Yifeng fell was actually a secret passage.

"I'm fine!" Li Yifeng's voice came from the secret passage, "Come down quickly, I think I found something!"

Qi Rong's heart moved, and he quickly jumped down along the place where Li Yifeng fell.

The secret passage was pitch black, and Qi Rong groped forward and finally came to Li Yifeng.

"Look!" Li Yifeng pointed to the front and said in a low voice.

Qi Rong looked in the direction pointed by Li Yifeng, and saw a huge altar in front of them. The altar was engraved with dense runes and exuded a strange atmosphere.

In the center of the altar, there was a black long sword, the sword body was as black as ink, emitting a cold light, which made people shudder.

"What is this?!" Qi Rong took a breath of cold air, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the secret weapon of the Black Demon Cult!" Li Yifeng said solemnly.

"Secret weapon?" Qi Rong was shocked. Could it be that the Black Demon Cult's action this time was not only to deal with Gu Jiuchen, but also had other purposes?

Just as the two were puzzled, a violent vibration suddenly came from the depths of the ruins, followed by a deafening roar.

"Not good! It's the Sect Master and the others!" Li Yifeng's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go to support!"

The two did not dare to delay, and hurriedly returned to the original way and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

At this time, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were surrounded by the Black Demon Cult members and were caught in a bitter battle. The Black Demon Cult leader was unfathomable, and Gu Jiuchen was actually at a disadvantage in the battle with him.

"Jiuchen, be careful!" Ye Linglong shouted, and the long sword in her hand turned into a silver light, repelling a Black Demon Cult member who attacked Gu Jiuchen.

"Linglong, are you okay?" Gu Jiuchen asked with concern, his eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine." Ye Linglong shook her head, her beautiful eyes full of determination, "Today, the two of us, husband and wife, will fight to the death with these evil demons!"

"Okay!" Gu Jiuchen was full of heroic spirit, and he waved the long sword in his hand, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, forcing the surrounding Black Demon Cult members to retreat several steps.

At this moment, two figures came like lightning, one on the left and one on the right, protecting Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

"Master, Master's wife, are you all right?" The people who came were Lin Wanqing and Lin Luan. They waved their swords, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, forcing several black magic cultists to retreat.

"Wanqing, Lin Luan, why are you here?" Gu Jiuchen was surprised and happy.

"Master, we are here to help you!" Lin Luan said in a deep voice, his eyes full of determination.

Lin Wanqing and Lin Luan are both outstanding among the younger generation of Tianxian Sect, with superb swordsmanship. The two of them joined forces and fought the black magic cultists on equal terms.

"What a pair of golden boys and jade girls, but unfortunately, you will all die here today!" The black magic cult leader's sinister voice came, and his tone was full of murderous intent.

"It's not that easy to kill us!" Gu Jiuchen snorted coldly, and just as he was about to take action, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

"Jiuchen!" Ye Linglong exclaimed, and quickly turned around to support Gu Jiuchen.

"You" Gu Jiuchen turned his head in disbelief, only to see that the person standing behind him was actually his confidant - Xuanfeng.

"Xuanfeng, you" Gu Jiuchen looked at him in disbelief, his eyes full of pain.

"I'm sorry, Sect Master, I had no choice." A trace of struggle flashed in Xuanfeng's eyes, but it was eventually replaced by ruthlessness, "If you want to blame, blame you for being too outstanding and blocking others' way!"

"You" Gu Jiuchen never expected that the person he trusted most would betray him, and at this critical moment, he gave him a fatal blow.

"Hahaha! Gu Jiuchen, you have this day too!" Seeing this, the Black Demon Sect Leader laughed wildly, "Today is your death day!"

Gu Jiuchen spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and he almost couldn't stand steadily. Ye Linglong was quick-eyed and quick-handed, holding him up, and asked anxiously: "Jiuchen, how are you?"

Gu Jiuchen waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, but blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, and it was obvious that the injury was not light. He stared at Xuanfeng with a sharp gaze, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why?"

Xuanfeng avoided his gaze and said in a cold tone: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The one who knows the current situation is a hero. Master, you should understand this truth."

The Black Demon Cult Leader laughed up to the sky and said proudly: "Gu Jiuchen, Gu Jiuchen, you have made all the plans, but you didn't expect that you would be defeated by your own people in the end?"

"Today, none of you will leave here alive!" The Black Demon Cult Leader gave an order, and all the Black Demon Cult members rushed towards Gu Jiuchen and others like a tide, full of murderous intent.

At this critical moment, Ye Linglong suddenly felt a movement under her feet. She looked down and found that there was a loose stone slab under her feet. Her mind was racing, and a bold idea came to her mind.

"Jiuchen, follow me!" Ye Linglong didn't have time to explain, and pulled Gu Jiuchen and walked towards the stone slab.

Although Gu Jiuchen didn't know what Ye Linglong was going to do, he had no choice but to choose to believe her. He endured the injury and followed Ye Linglong to the stone slab.

Ye Linglong took a deep breath, used all her spiritual power, and slapped the stone slab with one palm.

With a loud "boom", the stone slab shattered, revealing a dark hole.

"This is..." Gu Jiuchen looked at the hole in front of him in surprise, his heart full of doubts.

"No time to explain, let's go!" Ye Linglong didn't have time to say more, and pulled Gu Jiuchen into the hole.

The Black Demon Cult Leader was furious when he saw this, and was about to chase, but found that an invisible barrier suddenly rose at the entrance of the cave, blocking him out.

"Damn it!" The Black Demon Cult Leader attacked the barrier in a rage, but couldn't shake it at all.

In the cave, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong fell all the way down, and it was unknown how long it took before they fell heavily to the ground.

"Ahem..." Gu Jiuchen struggled to get up, looked around, and found himself in a narrow passage. The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint light.

"Linglong, where is this?" Gu Jiuchen asked.

"I don't know either," Ye Linglong shook her head, "but this should be a secret passage, maybe it can take us away from here."

Gu Jiuchen nodded, and the two supported each other and walked towards the depths of the passage.

The passage was deep and tortuous, and no one knew where it led to. Not far behind them, there were faint waves of creepy roars...
