Chapter 756 Victory
The smoke dispersed, and a figure wearing a black robe and exuding an evil aura slowly stood up.
"Hahaha, Gu Jiuchen, you're fine!" The man in black robe laughed sinisterly, his tone full of resentment and hatred.
"Who are you, and why do you want to trespass on our Tianxian Sect?" Gu Jiuchen stared at the man in black robe with burning eyes, vaguely guessing his identity.
"Humph, who am I? You will know soon!" The man in black robe snorted, and a black long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The sword exuded a dark light, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen. .
"Who are you? What's your purpose?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a deep voice, feeling extremely vigilant.
The man in black robe looked up to the sky and laughed, his tone full of disdain: "Gu Jiuchen, you call yourself the leader of the righteous way, but you don't even know who I am. It's really ridiculous! Forget it, I'll let you see how powerful I am today!"
After saying that, the man in black robe flashed and turned into a black lightning, heading straight for Gu Jiuchen. Gu Jiuchen didn't dare to be careless. There was a flash of light in his hand, and a golden long sword appeared in his hand. The sword's body shone with golden light and exuded sharp sword energy.
"clang!"
There was a crisp sound of metal collision, and the black-robed man's attack was blocked by Gu Jiuchen. The two figures intertwined and instantly fought together. The black-robed man's moves were fierce and his sword was deadly. He obviously came with the determination to kill.
Gu Jiuchen responded calmly, swinging the sword in his hand tightly, and neutralizing the black-robed man's attacks one by one. The two were of equal strength, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
"Gu Jiuchen, do you think you can stop me?" The man in black robes sneered while attacking, "Today, I will make you pay for what you have done!"
As soon as the man in black robe finished speaking, a black bead suddenly appeared in his hand. The bead emitted a strange black light, and the surrounding space began to distort. Gu Jiuchen was shocked and felt a strong suction coming from the black beads.
"No, this is..."
Before Gu Jiuchen had time to react, he was sucked into the black beads by a strong suction force.
"Sect Master!" When Ye Linglong and Elder Li saw this, they were shocked and wanted to save them, but it was already too late.
Ye Linglong was so anxious that she waved the long sword in her hand, and the sharp sword energy struck at the man in black robe, but the man in black robe easily dodged it. Elder Li roared angrily, and the whisk in his hand turned into silver threads all over the sky, shrouding the man in black robes.
"You are not overestimating your own capabilities!" The man in black robe sneered, the black beads in his hand glowed brightly, and a powerful suction force came again, neutralizing all of Elder Li's attacks.
"Damn it!" Ye Linglong and Elder Li were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do. The men in black robes were too powerful and they were no match at all.
"Hahaha, Gu Jiuchen has been sealed by me, you just wait to be buried with him!" The man in black robe laughed wildly, turned around, turned into a black light, and disappeared into the sky.
Ye Linglong and Elder Li met to despair, but they were unable to do anything. They knew that the most important thing now was to find Gu Jiuchen, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Elder Li, what should we do?" Ye Linglong asked anxiously.
"Go back to the sect first." Elder Li suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and returned to the Tianxian Sect with Ye Linglong.
At this time, the atmosphere in Tianxian Sect was solemn. After receiving the news, Liu Yaonian and Zhu Tai immediately organized their disciples to strengthen the sect's defense to prevent enemy surprise attacks. All the disciples were prepared and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Sister Liu, do you think something will happen to the sect master?" A young female disciple asked worriedly.
"No, Sect Master Jiren has his own destiny, and everything will be fine." Liu Yaonian comforted her, but her heart was also full of worry.
Zhu Tai said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to worry. We must trust the sect master and do our job well. We must not let the enemy take advantage of us!"
"Yes!" The disciples responded in unison, their eyes full of determination.
At the same time, Gu Jiuchen was trapped in a dark space. He tried to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, but found that he was sealed by a powerful force and could not move at all.
"Where is this place? Who trapped me here?" Gu Jiuchen's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness.
"Brother, do we really want to believe that news? Is it a trap?" Li Yifeng frowned, with a bit of worry in his tone.
Qi Rong put down the tea cup in his hand and looked deeply at the bustling crowd outside the window, "It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. The sect master has been missing for many days, and his life and death are uncertain. We must seize any glimmer of hope."
Li Yifeng was silent for a moment. He knew that his senior brother was right. Now that the sect was in panic, the burden on their shoulders was even heavier. "So where do we go next?"
"There are rumors that there is a hidden master deep in the cloud forest. Maybe he knows something." Qi Rong's eyes flashed, "Let's try our luck."
At the same time, in the Tianxian Sect, Lin Wanqing was carefully bandaging the wound of a disciple. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if carrying a warm power, making the injured disciple feel at ease.
"Senior Sister Lin, when do you think the sect master will come back?" The disciple's eyes were full of worry and longing.
Lin Wanqing stopped what she was doing, patted his shoulder lightly, and said softly: "Sect leader Jiren has his own destiny, and he will definitely return safely. You have to believe in him, and more importantly, believe in yourself, practice hard, and recover as soon as possible. , can contribute to the sect.”
Lin Luan, who was standing by, also came over to comfort him, saying, "Yes, you can rest assured and take care of your injuries. Leave the rest to us."
Lin Wanqing looked around at the injured disciples, her heart full of heartache and worry. She secretly vowed to do her best to protect the Tianxian Sect and wait for the Sect Master and fellow disciples to return safely.
On the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, Yun Che sat cross-legged, with spiritual power surging around him, rising and falling like the tide. He had been in seclusion for many days, concentrating on practicing the Tianxian Sect's unique martial art - "Nine Heavens Star Art". As he practiced more, the spiritual power in his body continued to condense and sublimate, and he vaguely touched a new realm.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, Yun Che burst out with dazzling light, and the powerful spiritual power fluctuations shook, uprooting the surrounding trees and splashing rocks. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, as if he contained the power of the sea of stars. He finally broke through and reached an unprecedented level, enough to compete with those enemies hiding in the dark.
At the same time, accompanied by Ye Linglong and Elder Li, Gu Jiuchen finally arrived at his destination - a desolate Gobi desert. The spiritual energy here is thin, and there is no grass. Only an ancient altar stands alone between heaven and earth. The altar is surrounded by dense runes, exuding a palpitating breath.
"This is it." Gu Jiuchen looked solemn. He felt a powerful force hidden under this barren land, and this force was different from all the enemies he had encountered before, with a desolate and oppressive feeling from ancient times.
Suddenly, the runes on the altar shone brightly, and an old figure slowly emerged. He was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, his hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were bright and energetic, as if he could see through everything in the world.
"You are finally here." The old man's voice was hoarse, with a hint of fatigue that was difficult to conceal in his tone.
"Who are you? Why did you plan all this?" Gu Jiuchen stared at the old man with a sharp gaze.
The old man sighed and said slowly: "I am a remnant soul from ancient times, lingering on until now, just to prevent a catastrophe..."
