Chapter 742: A Sudden Turn of Events

The roar was getting closer and closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps, echoing in the narrow passage, which was creepy. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood back to back, watching the front vigilantly.

"Be careful!" Ye Linglong reminded in a low voice, unsheathing the long sword in her hand, flashing cold light.

I saw a huge monster rushing out of the darkness, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards the two. The monster was covered with black scales, exuding a foul smell, and a pair of blood-red eyes flashing fiercely.

Gu Jiuchen reacted quickly, pulled Ye Linglong over, and narrowly avoided the monster's attack.

"Roar——"

After a missed attack, the monster became even more angry and attacked the two frantically.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong cooperated tacitly, relying on exquisite swordsmanship and body skills to deal with the monster.

However, the narrow passage was not conducive to the two people's performance, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At this moment, Gu Jiuchen saw the runes carved on the walls on both sides of the passage from the corner of his eyes, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the aura of the monster.

"Linglong, attack the runes!"

Ye Linglong understood, swung the long sword in her hand, and a sword energy went straight to the runes on the wall.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the runes burst into dazzling light, and the passage shook violently. The monster was enveloped by the light, let out a shrill scream, and the huge body fell to the ground and turned into a ball of black gas and dissipated.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong did not dare to be afraid and continued to run forward.

The front was suddenly clear, and the two finally walked out of the passage. In front of them was an open square. In the center of the square, Elder Li, Liu Yaonian and others were fighting fiercely with Zhao Wuji.

"Elder Li, we are here!" Ye Linglong shouted loudly.

Elder Li, Liu Yaonian and others were refreshed when they heard the voice.

The joining of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong immediately reversed the situation. Gu Jiuchen's swordsmanship was sharp, and each move was aimed at Zhao Wuji's vital points. Ye Linglong's body movements were graceful, wandering between the battlefields, constantly harassing Zhao Wuji.

"Damn it!" Zhao Wuji roared repeatedly, but he could do nothing to the two. He was secretly anxious in his heart. If he continued like this, he would be exhausted sooner or later.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance, deafening. Then, a powerful energy wave came from a distance, making everyone present feel a palpitation.

"What's going on?" Gu Jiuchen was startled and turned to look in the direction of the energy wave.

"It's the Black Demon Cult Master!" Elder Li said solemnly, "It seems that he has activated the secret weapon!"

"Secret weapon?" Gu Jiuchen frowned, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"Jiuchen, Yifeng and I will go and take a look!" Qi Rong said, and then he and Li Yifeng flew towards the direction of the energy wave.

On the battlefield, Lin Wanqing and Lin Luan fought side by side, fighting fiercely with the disciples of the Black Demon Cult. Lin Wanqing's swordsmanship was light and graceful, like a flying butterfly, and every time she attacked, she could take a life. Lin Luan's boxing skills were fierce, and every punch was powerful and heavy, breaking the enemy's bones and tendons.

However, two fists could not beat four hands. Under the desperate siege of the Black Demon Cult disciples, Lin Wanqing and Lin Luan gradually fell into a disadvantage. Suddenly, Lin Wanqing was unable to dodge and was cut in the arm by a long knife, and the blood immediately stained her sleeves red.

"Sister!" Seeing this, Lin Luan's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed to Lin Wanqing desperately and protected her behind him.

"Don't worry about me, go!" Lin Wanqing was pale, but still said with all her might.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" Several Black Demon Cult disciples surrounded them with a grin, waving their weapons and slashing at Lin Luan and Lin Wanqing.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Wanqing and Lin Luan, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, he forced several Black Demon Sect disciples to retreat.

"It's Senior Sister Liu!" Lin Luan was relieved when he saw the person coming.

"Are you all right?" Liu Yaonian asked with concern.

"We are fine, thank you Senior Sister Liu." Lin Wanqing shook her head, but her face was still pale.

Seeing this, Liu Yaonian took out the pill from her arms, handed it to Lin Wanqing and said, "Treat the wound first."

Lin Wanqing took the pill, looked at Liu Yaonian gratefully, and then swallowed it. The pill melted in her mouth, and a warm current flowed through her body, and the pain of the wound was also relieved a lot.

Yun Che went deep into the ruins, his heart full of curiosity and expectation. This ruins is obviously very old, and it is full of ancient vicissitudes. He carefully avoided the scattered rubble and broken walls on the ground and carefully observed the surrounding environment. Finally, in a collapsed stone chamber, he found an ancient book. There was no text on the cover of the book, only a few mysterious runes, emitting a faint light. Yun Che's heart moved, and he reached out to pick up the book. A cool breath came from the book, which refreshed him. He opened the book and found that it contained an extremely profound cultivation method.

"Could this be..." Yun Che was surprised and happy. He suppressed his excitement, put the book away carefully, and then turned and left the ruins. He knew that this cultivation secret book was of great significance to the Tianxian Sect. With it, the strength of the Tianxian Sect would surely be further improved.

At this time, Gu Jiuchen had led everyone back to the Tianxian Sect safely from the secret passage. Elder Li and others successfully repelled Zhao Wuji, and Qi Rong and Li Yifeng also destroyed the secret weapon of the Black Demon Cult Master, weakening the enemy's strength. Although Lin Wanqing and Lin Luan were injured in the battle, they were fortunately treated in time and were not seriously injured.

After returning to Tianxian Sect, Gu Jiuchen immediately summoned all the disciples, recounted the details of the operation, and rewarded the disciples who performed bravely in the battle. When everyone heard that Gu Jiuchen and others had successfully resolved the crisis, they were all excited and their morale was high.

This time, the conspiracy of Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Sect Leader was temporarily thwarted, but Gu Jiuchen knew in his heart that this was just the calm before the storm. He knew that Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Sect Leader would never give up, they would definitely come back, and next time, they would be stronger and crazier...

Gu Jiuchen stood on the top of Tianxian Peak, looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the distance, but his heart was as heavy as a huge rock. Ye Linglong walked to his side, gently held his hand, and asked softly: "Are you still thinking about Xuanfeng?" Gu Jiuchen sighed and didn't speak, but the loneliness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Xuanfeng was his senior brother and a brother he grew up with. He never thought that Xuanfeng would betray his master and join the Black Demon Sect. In that battle, the hatred and madness in Xuanfeng's eyes deeply hurt his heart.

"Jiuchen, I know you feel bad, but you have to believe that evil cannot prevail over good. One day, we will completely eradicate the Black Demon Sect and restore peace to the world." Ye Linglong comforted.

Gu Jiuchen nodded, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said to Ye Linglong: "Linglong, I plan to retreat for a period of time to improve my cultivation." Ye Linglong knew that he blamed himself in his heart and wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible to deal with the next crisis, so she did not stop him, but just told him to be more careful.

After Gu Jiuchen retreated, Ye Linglong began to rectify the Tianxian Sect and strengthen defense. At the same time, he sent disciples to inquire about the news everywhere to guard against the return of the Black Demon Sect. At this time, in the Black Demon Sect's main altar, Xuanfeng was kneeling in front of the Black Demon Sect leader, his face full of sinister color.

"Master, I have followed your instructions and stolen the defense map of the Tianxian Sect and their cultivation techniques." Xuanfeng said, taking out an ancient book from his arms, which was the cultivation secret book that Yun Che found from the ruins.

The Black Demon Master took the book, flipped through it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Very good, Xuanfeng, you did a good job. With this secret book, we can cultivate more powerful magic skills. At that time, the entire cultivation world will surrender to us!"

A cold light flashed in Xuanfeng's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Gu Jiuchen, you wait, one day, I will kill you with my own hands and avenge my beloved woman!"

The Black Demon Master patted Xuanfeng on the shoulder and said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, soon, you will have a chance..."
