Chapter 758 Undercurrent
The man in black robe stood up suddenly, holding a dark token in his hand, and threw it towards the altar in the center of the hall. The token was suspended in mid-air, emitting a strange black light, illuminating the entire hall in an eerie light.
At the same time, far away in the Tianxian Sect's meeting hall, Gu Jiuchen was drinking tea and discussing Taoism with Ye Linglong. Suddenly, a powerful pressure fell from the sky, the space in the center of the hall was violently distorted, and a black vortex appeared out of thin air, exuding a suffocating aura.
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong's expressions changed and they immediately stood up to be on guard. I saw a black envelope slowly emerging from the whirlpool. On the envelope was written in golden font "In person from the Master of the Tianxian Sect." Gu Jiuchen stretched out his hand and the envelope fell into his hand. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the envelope, only to see it read:
"I have heard for a long time that the Tianxian Sect is full of talents and strength, but I am not talented, so I set up a special arena and invited the disciples of the Tianxian Sect to come and teach me. The winner will get a thousand-year-old elixir that I have collected; the loser needs to ask me for advice. I surrender, and I will never betray you! We are waiting for you in Sunset Canyon in three days!”
There was no signature at the end of the letter, only a bright red mark, exuding a strange aura.
"Challenge?!" Ye Linglong frowned, "What is the origin of this mysterious force? Is it so arrogant?"
Gu Jiuchen looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "No matter who the other party is, if you dare to challenge our Tianxian Sect, you must pay the price!" He turned to look at Ye Linglong with firm eyes, "Linglong, how do you think we should respond?"
Ye Linglong said without hesitation: "Accept the challenge! Our Tianxian Sect has stood in the world of immortal cultivation for thousands of years, how can we allow others to provoke us? Let's go meet this mysterious force for a while and see what they are capable of!"
Gu Jiuchen nodded, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "Okay! I will summon the elders and disciples to discuss this matter."
Tianxian Sect, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Elder Li and Liu Yaonian sat opposite each other, with piles of ancient books and scrolls in front of them. Their brows were furrowed and their expressions were solemn.
"Have you ever seen the mark on this challenge book?" Elder Li asked without looking up while flipping through a simple classic.
Liu Yaonian shook her head and frowned: "I have never seen this before. This mark is very strange. It does not look like the mark of any known sect of cultivating immortals." She paused and then said, "Moreover, this challenge book It reveals a strange aura, and I suspect that this mysterious force may be related to the devil."
Elder Li put down the book in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "What you said makes sense. This matter is not trivial. We must find out the origin of this mysterious force as soon as possible before we can formulate countermeasures."
At the same time, at the Tianxian Sect's martial arts arena, Zhu Taizheng was leading many disciples in intense training.
"Quick! Get faster! Get stronger!" Zhu Tai's voice echoed in the martial arts field, "You must remember that in three days, we will face a life and death battle! Only by trying our best, can we win Only then can we protect the glory of Tianxian Sect!”
When the disciples heard this, their eyes lit up with blazing fire. They sweated profusely and put all their energy into training, just to win the competition three days later.
For a time, the entire Tianxian Sect was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, everyoneisprepargfortheupgchallen
Qi Rong and Li Yifeng were ordered to go down the mountain and go to Yunmeng City, the city closest to Tianxian Sect. Yunmeng City is well-informed and a mixed bag, making it an excellent place to inquire about news. The two of them disguised themselves as ordinary casual cultivators and mingled in restaurants and teahouses, listening carefully to the chatter of the cultivators coming and going.
"Have you heard about it? Recently, a mysterious organization has appeared in the world. It is secretive and ruthless. Many sects have been killed by them!"
"I've heard about it too. It's said that they were searching everywhere for some treasure. Anyone who opposed them was wiped out. Their methods were extremely cruel!"
"It's really scary! I don't know what the origin of this mysterious organization is, but it's so arrogant!"
Qi Rong and Li Yifeng looked at each other and felt awe in their hearts. It seemed that this mysterious organization was more dangerous than they imagined. The two of them continued to collect information quietly, and finally learned from a drunken cultivator that this mysterious organization seemed to be inextricably linked to the devil.
After returning to Tianxian Sect, Qi Rong and Li Yifeng immediately reported the information they found to Gu Jiuchen. After hearing this, Gu Jiuchen frowned and felt faintly uneasy.
At the same time, Lin Wanqing and Lin Luan also began to prepare for the competition three days later. Lin Wanqing is responsible for the preparation of elixirs, talismans and other materials. She counts the inventory in the warehouse to ensure that every item is fully prepared in case of emergency needs. Lin Luan was responsible for arranging the competition venue and arranging formation formations to ensure the fairness of the competition and to prevent accidents.
Lin Luan carefully checked every node of the formation to ensure that it was functioning properly and no mistakes were allowed. He is well aware of the importance of this competition, which is not only related to the reputation of Tianxian Sect, but also related to the safety of everyone.
The busy figures of the two shuttled around every corner of Tianxian Sect, making final preparations for the upcoming challenge.
Yun Che sat cross-legged on the top of the Yunhai Peak, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, an extraordinary temperament, and there is an otherworldly aura in his every move and every move. At this time, he was patiently pointing out the confusions of several young disciples in their cultivation.
"On the path of cultivation, perseverance is the most important thing, and you need to understand your own way." Yun Che's gentle voice echoed on the top of the mountain, "You are gifted, don't rush for quick success, you need to be down-to-earth, only then can you achieve something."
Several disciples were fascinated by what they heard. Yun Che's guidance was like a revelation, which made them suddenly enlightened and had a deeper understanding of the way of cultivation.
Time flies, and it's the eve of the competition in a blink of an eye. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood side by side in front of the Tianxian Palace, looking into the distance. Their expressions were solemn, and their hearts were shrouded in a lingering haze.
"Jiuchen, what do you think is the purpose of this mysterious force?" Ye Linglong asked softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.
Gu Jiuchen shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know either, but my intuition tells me that this matter is not simple."
Just then, a paper crane flew from a distance and landed in Gu Jiuchen's hand. Gu Jiuchen unfolded the paper crane, and there was only one line of beautiful handwriting on it:
"Be careful, they have other intentions."
This anonymous letter was like a bolt from the blue, and Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong's hearts instantly rose to their throats. Who on earth passed the message to them? What did the "other intentions" mentioned in the letter mean? For a moment, countless questions came to mind, making the already confusing situation even more complicated and unpredictable.
