Chapter 746 Wasted Opportunity

Gu Jiuchen's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward and checked his disciple's breath. The breath was weak, and he was already at the end of his strength. He fed him a pill and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Tell me slowly."

The disciple took the elixir, his breathing stabilized slightly, and he said with difficulty: "We were ordered to patrol the border and found... found traces of the Black Demon Sect. They... they seem to be..." Before he could finish his words, he stopped completely. gas.

Ye Linglong looked at Gu Jiuchen worriedly and said softly: "Jiuchen, it seems that the Black Demon Sect has not given up yet. We need to make plans early."

Gu Jiuchen's face was solemn, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Send the order, summon all the disciples, and return to the sect to rest!"

He knew that the most important thing right now was to recuperate his energy, and at the same time, he needed to understand the movements of the Black Demon Cult before he could formulate the next plan.

Tianxian Sect took action quickly, and disciples from all peaks returned to the sect one after another. The fatigue and pain after the war, as well as worries about the future, hung in everyone's mind.

Gu Jiuchen stood on the martial arts training field, looking at the familiar faces in front of him, and said loudly: "Although our Tianxian Sect won this battle, we also suffered heavy losses. The Black Demon Sect is insidious and cunning, and this defeat will definitely be inevitable. I’ll give it up. We need to take the time to rest and regain our strength, and at the same time, we must be more vigilant to prevent the enemy from attacking!”

"What the sect master said is absolutely true. We will do our best to protect the Tianxian Sect!" All the disciples responded in unison.

Ye Linglong walked to Gu Jiuchen, gently held his hand, and said softly: "Jiuchen, you don't have to worry too much. I believe we can overcome all difficulties."

Gu Jiuchen turned to look at Ye Linglong, the fatigue in his eyes dissipated a little, and nodded. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would not fight alone. He also had Ye Linglong and the entire Tianxian Sect.

However, just as the Tianxian Sect was resting and preparing for war, an invisible crisis was quietly approaching...

Gu Jiuchen announced his decision to rest, and the disciples returned to their respective residences and took the time to heal and recover. The silence after the war enveloped the Tianxian Sect, but everyone had a tightrope in their hearts and did not dare to relax at all.

At the martial arts training ground, Elder Li summoned several disciples, including Liu Yaonian. They sat on the ground, each with solemn expressions, recalling the tragic battle before.

"Although we won this time, it was not easy." Elder Li was the first to break the silence. "The strength of the Black Demon Sect is far beyond our imagination. If the sect master and his wife had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"Yes, I still have lingering fears." Liu Yaonian sighed softly, "Especially those monks controlled by the demonic energy, they are like walking corpses and have no sense at all."

"I remember that both Senior Brother Zhu Tai and Senior Brother Qi Rong were affected by that demonic energy, and they almost..." A disciple hesitated to speak.

"The knot between the two of them and Junior Brother Xuanfeng has always been a major hidden danger for the Tianxian Sect." Another disciple said with emotion, "If it weren't for this, we wouldn't be so passive in the battle."

"It's a long story..." Elder Li sighed and recounted what happened that year.

It turns out that Zhu Tai, Qi Rong and Xuanfeng were once the best brothers of the Tianxian Sect, but later due to an accident, Xuanfeng went astray and left the Tianxian Sect. Zhu Tai and Qi Rong have always been worried about this, thinking that they did not stop Xuan Feng in time, which led to today's situation.

"Actually, the three of them know in their hearts that there is no real hatred between each other, but the knots they have had for many years are difficult to untie." Elder Li said, "Now that they have experienced this life and death battle, it is time for them to let go It’s over.”

As Elder Li expected, Zhu Tai and Qi Rong took the initiative to find Xuanfeng. The three of them stood opposite each other, their eyes full of complex emotions.

"Xuanfeng, what happened in the past was our fault, we shouldn't..." Zhu Tai spoke first, but was interrupted by Xuanfeng before he finished speaking.

"Senior brother, there is no need to say any more." A trace of pain flashed in Xuanfeng's eyes, "My original choice was my own decision and has nothing to do with you."

"But……"

"There is nothing more." Xuanfeng took a deep breath and said firmly, "From now on, I just want to protect Tianxian Sect and our common home."

When Zhu Tai and Qi Rong heard this, they both had happy smiles on their faces. The three of them hugged each other tightly, and the estrangement of many years disappeared at this moment.

In the valley, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and a quiet bamboo house is nestled in it. Inside the house, Li Yifeng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, adjusting his breath to heal his injuries. His face was pale and his breath was weak. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of real energy in the previous battle.

"Brother Yifeng, how are you?" A soft voice sounded in his ears, with a bit of worry and concern.

Li Yifeng opened his eyes and saw Lin Wanqing walking in with a bowl of soup. She was wearing a light pink dress, with her long black hair hanging casually on her shoulders, looking elegant and refined.

"Wanqing, why are you here? I can just do it myself." Li Yifeng struggled to get up, but was held down gently by Lin Wanqing.

"You're injured, so don't move around." Lin Wanqing put the decoction on the bedside and helped him lie down. "Drink the medicine quickly. I brewed it specially for you. It can help you recover as soon as possible. Yuan."

Li Yifeng looked at her gentle eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart, and he drank the soup obediently.

"Wanqing, thank you." Li Yifeng held her hand and said sincerely.

Lin Wanqing's cheeks turned slightly red, she lowered her head and said softly: "We are from the same sect, so we should take care of each other."

Li Yifeng looked at her shy look, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her hair. Lin Wanqing raised her head and looked at him, as if there was an electric current flowing between them.

"Wanqing..."

Li Yifeng was about to speak, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Lin Luan walked in, holding an old book in his hand.

"Yifeng, how are you feeling?" Lin Luan asked with concern.

"Much better, Senior Brother Lin Luan, what are you..." Li Yifeng looked at the book in his hand doubtfully.

"This is a book about ancient formations that I found from the Zongmen Scripture Collection Pavilion." Lin Luan explained, "I have been studying how to enhance the power of ancient formations. This battle made me realize more deeply , Only by constantly improving your own strength can you better protect your sect."

"Senior Brother Lin Luan is really diligent." Li Yifeng praised, "I must also seize the time to recover and strive to return to the state of cultivation as soon as possible."

"Well, we all have to work hard." Lin Luan nodded with firm eyes.

"Senior Brother Lin Luan said that we should all work hard and strive to contribute to the sect as soon as possible." Li Yifeng looked determined and clenched his fists. Lin Luan patted his shoulder, turned and left, continuing to study the ancient formation book.

At the same time, in the distant depths of the Demonic Abyss, black mist rolled and gloomy winds gusted. A pitch-black hall stood on the cliff. In the hall, the leader of the Black Demon sat cross-legged, surrounded by black energy, exuding a heart-stopping aura. Opposite him, Zhao Wuji looked gloomy and clenched his fists, obviously suppressing great anger.

"Gu Jiuchen! I will make you pay a heavy price this time!" Zhao Wuji said through gritted teeth, with a malicious light shining in his eyes.

"Haha, don't worry, I have found a way to deal with the Celestial Immortal Sect." The Black Demon Cult Leader smiled coldly, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes, "This time, I will make them disappear completely from this world!"

The Black Demon Cult Leader slowly stood up and walked to the center of the hall, making seals with his hands and muttering something in his mouth. Following his spell, a gap opened in the ground in the center of the hall, and a ball of black flames spurted out, condensing into a huge black ball of light.

"This is..." Zhao Wuji looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

"This is the 'world-destroying black flame' that I have spent hundreds of years refining." The eyes of the Black Demon Cult Master flashed with crazy light, "As long as it is injected into the Tianxian Sect's mountain-protecting formation, their foundation can be completely destroyed!"

When Zhao Wuji heard this, he had an excited look on his face, but he quickly suppressed it, with a hint of worry in his tone: "But, the Tianxian Sect's mountain-protecting formation is indestructible, how can we destroy the 'World-Destroying Black Flame' Inject it into it?”

The leader of the Black Demon smiled mysteriously, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "I have found someone who can help us complete this plan..."
