Chapter 791 Discovering the Truth

Gu Changfeng gently waved his sleeves, and a gentle force enveloped Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, leading them away from this place of right and wrong.

On the top of a mountain shrouded in mist, Gu Changfeng stood with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood respectfully behind him.

"Jiuchen, do you know why Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Cult Leader are so rampant?" Gu Changfeng suddenly asked.

Gu Jiuchen shook his head. He had never understood why the strength of Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Cult Master had improved so quickly. In just a few years, they were able to force the Tianxian Sect into such a situation.

Gu Changfeng sighed and said: "All of this stems from an ancient artifact, the Haotian Mirror!"

"Haotian Mirror?" Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other. They had never heard of this artifact.

"The Haotian Mirror is a magic weapon used by the Emperor of Heaven in ancient times. It has the power to destroy the heaven and the earth!" A trace of reminiscence flashed in Gu Changfeng's eyes. "According to legend, the Haotian Mirror broke into three pieces and scattered around the world. The world. And Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Cult Master obtained such a powerful force!"

Gu Jiuchen's heart trembled when he heard this. He finally understood why Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Cult Master were so powerful!

"Ancestor, how should we respond?" Ye Linglong asked anxiously.

Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment and said: "The current plan is to find two other pieces of the Haotian Mirror to compete with it!"

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

"Ancestor, please give me your guidance. Let's go find the other two fragments of the Haotian Mirror!" Gu Jiuchen spoke resolutely, with perseverance shining in his eyes. Ye Linglong also nodded in agreement. For the sake of the Tianxian Sect and the common people in the world, they are duty-bound.

Gu Changfeng nodded happily. These two children did not disappoint him. "Okay! I've been waiting for this day for too long!" He waved his hand and took out two simple jade slips. "These two jade slips record the whereabouts of the other two pieces of Haotian Mirror. You must remember , the journey to find the fragments must be full of dangers, so be extremely careful!”

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong solemnly took the jade slip and put it into their arms with great care.

"Children, go ahead and complete your mission!" Gu Changfeng looked into the distance, his eyes full of expectations.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong bid farewell to their ancestors again, turned around and flew towards the distance. They don't know what is waiting for them, but they have only one belief in their hearts: to find the Haotian Mirror fragments and defeat evil!

Following the guidance in the jade slip, they came to the Desert of Death located in the far west of the Central Continent. Here the sky is filled with yellow sand, the sun is scorching, and there is almost no sign of life.

"Is this the Desert of Death? It really deserves its name." Ye Linglong couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the endless desert in front of her.

"According to the jade slip, the fragments of the Haotian Mirror are deep in the Desert of Death." Gu Jiuchen held the jade slip and carefully identified the direction. "Let's go, be careful. There are dangers here."

The two of them walked cautiously towards the depths of the desert, each step being extremely difficult. The intense heat, wind and sand, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts test their will all the time.

The sun is scorching in the sky and the yellow sand is long. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat. Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting ahead, accompanied by fluctuations in spiritual power. They looked at each other, immediately used Qinggong, and flew towards the direction of the sound.

On a sand dune, I saw several monks being besieged by a group of bandits. The situation was critical. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong joined the battle without hesitation. With their swords flashing and their spiritual power flowing, they quickly drove back the bandits.

"Thank you two fellow Taoists for your help!" The rescued monk saluted with clasped fists in gratitude.

"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning." Gu Jiuchen smiled lightly, "Why are you all attacked by bandits?"

"Oh, it's a long story." One of the older monks sighed, "We are all casual cultivators from different sects. We heard that an ancient ruins appeared deep in the Desert of Death, so we came together to explore , but unexpectedly encountered an ambush by bandits on the way."

"Ancient ruins?" Gu Jiuchen's heart moved. Could it be related to the fragments of the Haotian Mirror?

"Yes, it is said that there are countless treasures hidden in that ruins, and it is even possible to obtain the inheritance of ancient powers!" Another monk said excitedly, completely unaware of what Gu Jiuchen was thinking.

"In that case, how about we go together?" Gu Jiuchen suggested, and Ye Linglong nodded in agreement.

In this way, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong traveled together with these casual cultivators and faced various challenges in the desert together. They fought side by side, supported each other, and gradually established a deep friendship.

After several days of trekking, they finally found the legendary ancient ruins. Deep in the ruins, they discovered an ancient altar. In the center of the altar, there was a dazzling fragment, which was the Haotian Mirror fragment!

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were ecstatic and were about to step forward to take away the fragments when a sudden change occurred! Dazzling runes suddenly lit up around the altar, and a powerful force knocked them away. Before they could react, a cold voice echoed in the empty ruins: "Haha, I have been searching for the Haotian Mirror for many years. The fragments finally fell into my hands!"

The light in the center of the altar gradually dimmed, and a figure in black robe slowly emerged, holding the piece of Haotian Mirror in his hand. This person is the leader of the Black Demon Sect, and standing next to him with a sinister look on his face is Zhao Wuji.

"It seems that it is God's will. The fragments of the Haotian Mirror are destined to fall into our hands!" The Black Demon Cult leader laughed arrogantly, and his eyes greedily stared at the fragments in his hand.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes: "Gu Jiuchen, let's see what other tricks you have this time!"

It turned out that Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Cult leader had already colluded secretly, and learned that Gu Jiuchen and others had found two pieces of artifact fragments. In order to catch them all in one fell swoop, the two carefully planned this ambush.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were stunned by the sudden change. Before they could react, the Black Demon Cult leader and Zhao Wuji had already launched an attack together.

"Linglong, be careful!" Gu Jiuchen protected Ye Linglong behind him, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and turned into a series of sharp sword energy to meet the attack.

Ye Linglong was not to be outdone. She raised her white hand lightly, and a series of ice cones condensed out of thin air, whistling and shooting at the enemy.

For a time, the sword energy was crisscrossed in the ruins, and the ice cones danced wildly, and the two sides fought in a group.

The sword light and the ice cone intertwined, and a deafening roar broke out, and the entire ruins seemed to be shaking. Gu Jiuchen's sword was sharp, and each strike contained the power of destroying the world, forcing the Black Demon Cult leader to retreat again and again. However, Zhao Wuji was like a madman, with fierce moves, completely ignoring his own defense, and just madly attacking Gu Jiuchen.

At this moment, a roar came from the entrance of the ruins: "Devil, stop being crazy!"

Elder Li led a group of Tianxian Sect disciples and rushed into the battlefield like a sharp sword. Elder Li waved the whisk in his hand and shook several Black Demon Cultists away. He opened his eyes wide and shouted: "You evil demons dare to offend my Tianxian Sect. Today, I will make sure you have no return!"

The disciples of Tianxian Sect were all filled with righteous indignation. They formed a sword formation and fought a desperate battle with the Black Demon Cultists. For a moment, the ruins were filled with shouts of killing, swords flashed and shadows crossed, and blood dyed the ground red.

Gu Jiuchen saw the disciples of the Tianxian Sect arrive, and his heart was slightly relieved. He turned the sword and forced the Black Demon Sect Leader to retreat, and then said in a deep voice: "Linglong, you take Elder Li and the others to go first, I will cover you!"
