Chapter 785 Cold War, Reconciliation

"Linglong, are you okay?" Gu Jiuchen retracted his sword, his concern was evident in his words. Ye Linglong gently pushed him away, stood up without saying a word, and walked straight towards the direction of Tianxian Sect.

After returning to the sect, Ye Linglong went straight back to her residence, closed the door tightly, and refused to let Gu Jiuchen in. Gu Jiuchen was anxious, but he also knew that any explanation at this moment seemed pale and powerless, so he could only leave silently.

Elder Li saw that the two returned to the sect one after another, but they were like strangers, and he was puzzled. He found Gu Jiuchen and asked tentatively: "Sect Master, what are you and Miss Ye doing..."

Gu Jiuchen sighed and told Elder Li the whole story. After listening, Elder Li stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "I think Miss Ye is not an unreasonable person, there must be a misunderstanding."

"But I have explained it many times, and she doesn't want to believe it." Gu Jiuchen frowned, his tone full of helplessness.

"The knot in the heart needs to be healed with heart medicine. The sect master might as well give Miss Ye some time to calm down." Elder Li comforted.

However, the atmosphere of the cold war not only did not ease, but intensified. Ye Linglong began to avoid Gu Jiuchen intentionally or unintentionally. She practiced and dealt with the affairs of the sect. She arranged her time to be full, as if she wanted to numb herself and forget her troubles. Ye Linglong felt wronged. She didn't understand why Gu Jiuchen would rather believe Zhao Wuji's lies than listen to her explanation. Is she such a person who doesn't distinguish right from wrong in her heart? She bit her lips tightly, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. Since he didn't want to believe it, she would prove everything with her actions! Zhao Wuji, I want to see what tricks you are playing! She secretly made up her mind and decided to investigate alone. She must find out the truth and clear her name.

So, Ye Linglong began to deliberately avoid Gu Jiuchen and immerse herself in practicing and dealing with the affairs of the sect. She was talented and practiced very fast. In just a few days, she vaguely touched the bottleneck of breakthrough. She knew that only by being strong could she control her fate, protect herself, and protect the one she loved.

Gu Jiuchen, on his side, felt mixed emotions when facing Ye Linglong's indifference. It was not that he did not trust Ye Linglong, but the situation was urgent at the time, Zhao Wuji was very sure, and Ye Linglong could not explain it clearly, which made him confused. Now that he has calmed down and thought about it carefully, he feels more and more that this matter is strange. Zhao Wuji has always been at odds with him, and this sudden show of goodwill must be a trick.

In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Gu Jiuchen put all his energy into cultivation. The Tianxian Sect has a long history and possesses many powerful secrets of skills. Gu Jiuchen devoted himself to cultivation, and his cultivation improved day by day. Indistinctly, he actually touched a higher level of power. He understood that a bigger storm was coming, and only by becoming stronger could he deal with it calmly. Gu Jiuchen was confused and often distracted when practicing. He knew that he had misunderstood Ye Linglong, but the disappointment and determination in her eyes were like thorns that pierced his heart.

That day, Gu Jiuchen was upset and went to the back mountain alone to relax. The moonlight poured down like silver light, reflecting the shadows of the mountains and forests. Suddenly, he heard a burst of chatter coming from the front. Gu Jiuchen was curious, so he concealed his breath and approached quietly.

"Zhao Wuji, are you sure that thing can really deal with Gu Jiuchen?" A gloomy voice sounded, with a hint of ruthlessness in the tone.

"Don't worry, Black Demon Sect Leader, this is a treasure that I spent a huge price to get, and I will definitely make him pay for it!" Zhao Wuji's voice was full of undisguised pride.

Gu Jiuchen was startled, he held his breath, and through the gap between the leaves, he saw Zhao Wuji talking to a figure wearing a black robe, with his face hidden under the hood.

"Okay! After the matter is done, I will agree to your conditions and I will never break my promise!" The black-robed figure said in a cold tone, which made people shudder.

Gu Jiuchen's heart was in turmoil. It turned out that Zhao Wuji had been deceiving him. He actually colluded with the demons and intended to murder him! And everything Ye Linglong said before was true!

He hated himself for not believing her, hated himself for being blinded by jealousy, and he wanted to slap himself twice. He turned around and ran towards Ye Linglong's residence like crazy.

"Linglong! I was wrong! Listen to my explanation!" Gu Jiuchen rushed into the room, but found that there was no one inside, only a note lying quietly on the table.

He picked up the note with trembling hands, and there were only a few short words on it: "I will be back soon, don't worry."

Gu Jiuchen's heart sank immediately, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. At this moment, a disciple ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, it's bad! Senior Sister Ye... "

"What happened to Senior Sister Ye?! Tell me!" Gu Jiuchen grabbed the disciple's collar and asked anxiously.

"Senior Sister Ye...was captured by Zhao Wuji!" The disciple was so scared that his face turned pale and stammered, "Zhao Wuji said he would use Senior Sister Ye to threaten you"

Gu Jiuchen's face suddenly turned ashen when he heard this, his fists clenched, and his knuckles cracked. He threw the disciple away and roared: "Zhao Wuji! You dare!"

He flashed and turned into a stream of light, chasing in the direction of Zhao Wuji's escape.

"Linglong, you must wait for me! I will definitely save you!" Gu Jiuchen was extremely anxious and his speed increased to the extreme.

In the dark cave, Ye Linglong was tied to a stone pillar and could not move. Zhao Wuji stood in front of her with a sinister smile on his face.

"Ye Linglong, you never thought that you would end up like this!" Zhao Wuji said proudly, "As long as you behave, I can consider sparing your life."

"Bah! You're dreaming!" Ye Linglong spat and said coldly, "Gu Jiuchen won't let you go!"

"Huh, he can't save himself now, how do you still expect him to save you?" Zhao Wuji sneered, "I tell you, I have laid a dragnet. As long as he dares to come, there will be no return for him!"

Ye Linglong's heart sank, but she remained calm on the surface. Instead, she pretended to be scared and asked, "What do you want?"

Seeing her surrender, Zhao Wuji felt even more proud. He walked up to Ye Linglong, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and said with an evil smile, "What do I want? Of course I want you to watch Gu Jiuchen die in front of me!"

A cold light flashed in Ye Linglong's eyes. She took advantage of Zhao Wuji's unpreparedness and bit his hand suddenly.

"Ah!" Zhao Wuji felt pain and quickly retracted his hand, roaring angrily, "You bitch!"

He was about to get angry, but suddenly, his expression changed, he turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave, and said in a deep voice: "Who?!"

"It's me." A cold voice came from the entrance of the cave, and Gu Jiuchen's figure slowly appeared there, his eyes filled with angry flames.

Zhao Wuji looked at Gu Jiuchen who had left and returned, a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down and sneered: "Gu Jiuchen, you actually dare to come! It seems you are really not afraid of death!"

"Let her go!" Gu Jiuchen ignored Zhao Wuji's taunt. His eyes fell on Ye Linglong who was tied up, his eyes filled with distress.

"You want me to let her go? You can!" Zhao Wuji smiled sinisterly, and suddenly there was a dagger in his hand, which was pressed against Ye Linglong's neck, "As long as you destroy your cultivation, I will let her go! "

"How dare you!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes were about to burst, and a powerful pressure burst out of him, making Zhao Wuji almost breathless.

"Gu Jiuchen, don't come here!" Ye Linglong was extremely anxious when she saw this. She knew that Zhao Wuji was a madman and could do anything. She didn't want Gu Jiuchen to take risks for her.

"Linglong, don't be afraid, I will definitely rescue you!" Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong with firm but gentle eyes.

"Haha, it's so touching!" Zhao Wuji laughed wildly, "It's a pity that none of you can leave here alive today!"

After saying that, he brandished his dagger and stabbed Ye Linglong.

"Linglong!" When Gu Jiuchen saw this, his eyes were about to burst. He flashed and appeared in front of Ye Linglong in an instant, and knocked away the dagger in Zhao Wuji's hand with one palm.

Zhao Wuji was knocked back several steps by Gu Jiuchen's powerful strength. He stabilized his figure, his eyes filled with horror.

"you"

Before he could react, Gu Jiuchen had already stepped forward and punched him in the chest.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Zhao Wuji's body flew backwards like a kite with its string broken, and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth.

Gu Jiuchen ignored Zhao Wuji. He quickly walked to Ye Linglong and untied the rope from her body.

"Linglong, are you okay?" He looked at Ye Linglong, his eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine." Ye Linglong shook her head, looking at the man in front of her who was risking everything for her, her eyes were full of emotion and love.

"Sorry, I'm late." Gu Jiuchen hugged Ye Linglong into his arms, his tone full of apology.

"No, you're not wrong. It's my fault. I shouldn't have disobeyed you and acted without permission." Ye Linglong hugged Gu Jiuchen tightly, tears soaking his clothes.

"Fool, what are you talking about? You are never wrong. It was me who was wrong. I failed to protect you." Gu Jiuchen gently stroked Ye Linglong's hair and comforted her softly.
