Chapter 798: Bravely Marching Forward Alone and Surviving Desperate Situations
Along the way, they encountered many traps and ambushes set by the demon sect, but Gu Jiuchen relied on his strong strength and extraordinary wisdom to save danger time and time again, leading his disciples to fight a bloody path.
He knew that he had to buy more time for Ye Linglong!
Ye Linglong led another team and rushed between various sects non-stop. She knew that with the power of the Tianxian Sect alone, it would be an almost impossible task to stop the Demon Sect. Only by uniting all forces that can be united can we compete with the Demonic Cult.
She first came to the Qingxu Sect located in Luoxia Valley. The Qingxu Sect was once aggressively attacked by the Demon Sect led by Zhao Wuji, and suffered heavy losses, and has yet to recover. When Taoist Priest Qingxu saw Ye Linglong, his face was full of bitterness: "Sect Master Ye, you don't know something. It is difficult for our sect to protect itself now. How can we compete with the Demon Cult?"
Ye Linglong was well aware of Taoist Qingxu's difficulties, but she did not give up. Instead, she informed Taoist Qingxu that the Demon Cult was about to awaken demons and cause harm to the world. "Taoist Priest, you should understand the truth behind the death of lips and teeth. If the Demon Sect succeeds, the Qingxu Sect may be the next one to suffer!"
After hearing what Ye Linglong said, Taoist Priest Qingxu's face suddenly became very ugly. He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "What Sect Leader Ye said is absolutely true. The old Taoist is willing to lead the disciples of the Qingxu Sect to help the Tianxian Sect!"
Ye Linglong nodded happily. The addition of the Qingxu Sect undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm.
At the same time, Elder Li, who stayed behind in Tianxian Sect, was not idle either. He studied ancient books day and night, trying to find a way to break the forbidden curse. Hard work pays off, Li Chang
The old man finally found a record about forbidden curses in a broken ancient book.
"So that's it. This forbidden curse is not unbreakable. It just requires gathering five kinds of treasures to seal it!" Elder Li was immediately overjoyed. He immediately summoned all the disciples in the sect who were proficient in formations. According to the records in ancient books, , and began to research ways to break the forbidden curse.
As time passed by, a tense and solemn atmosphere filled the Tianxian Sect. Everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle. They had only one belief in their hearts: to stop the Demon Sect and protect the world!
Zhao Ling'er has admired Gu Jiuchen's heroic appearance since she was a child. When she learned that her brother was colluding with the demon sect, she felt even more guilty towards Gu Jiuchen. She didn't want to be kept in the dark anymore, and she didn't want to see Xuanfeng sink deeper and deeper. She clenched her fists and secretly determined to find a way to stop this, no matter what the cost!
On the other side, Gu Jiuchen was fighting fiercely with Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Cult Leader. The two parties were full of murderous intent, and their moves were deadly. For a moment, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, with sand and rocks flying. Although Gu Jiuchen was fighting one against two, he was not at a disadvantage. His swordsmanship is sharp and his moves are exquisite. Every move hits the opponent's vital point directly. During the long confrontation, Gu Jiuchen gradually realized that the attack methods of Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Leader seemed a bit rigid, as if they were trying to cover up some weakness. With a sudden thought, he seized the opportunity and deliberately sold a flaw. Zhao Wuji was indeed fooled and was eager for success, revealing a flaw in his moves. Gu Jiuchen seized the opportunity and stabbed Zhao Wuji in the chest with his sword.
"Poof!" Zhao Wuji couldn't dodge and was stabbed by Gu Jiuchen's sword. The leader of the black devil saw this
Shocked, he quickly stepped forward to protect Zhao Wuji, and the two quickly retreated and disappeared into the night. Gu Jiuchen wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but suddenly he felt a strong sense of oppression coming, making him unable to move. He looked up and saw a huge black vortex appearing in the originally clear night sky. The center of the vortex exuded a heart-stopping evil aura.
"No! They are going to..." Gu Jiuchen's face changed drastically, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
Gu Jiuchen endured the strong sense of oppression and swung his sword with all his strength, trying to disperse the black vortex. However, his sword energy was swallowed up the moment it touched the whirlpool, without causing any waves. The black vortex spun faster and faster, eventually swallowing Gu Jiuchen up.
"Jiuchen!" Ye Linglong's eyes were about to burst, and she rushed towards the black vortex desperately, but was bounced back by an invisible force.
The black vortex disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared. The night sky returned to calm, and only the traces of battle remaining on the ground proved that what just happened was not an illusion.
"Sect Master!" The disciples of the Tianxian Sect gathered around and called Gu Jiuchen's name anxiously, but the only response they received was endless silence.
Ye Linglong endured the grief in her heart and directed her disciples to search for Gu Jiuchen's whereabouts. However, they searched the entire mountain range and found no clues.
As time passed, the news of Gu Jiuchen's disappearance spread throughout the world of immortality. The Tianxian Sect was shrouded in a haze, and Ye Linglong was getting thinner day by day, but she never gave up the hope of finding Gu Jiuchen.
"Are you just giving up like this?
"Elder Li looked at Ye Linglong, who was frowning, and his heart was full of worry. He knew that finding a way to break the forbidden curse was a top priority, but the required materials were in the extremely dangerous "Soul Burial Abyss", which was the place where he could cross the tribulations continuously. A forbidden area that no monk would dare to set foot on easily.
"No, I will never give up!" A firm light flashed in Ye Linglong's eyes, "Elder Li, please continue to study the method of breaking the forbidden curse. I will definitely find Jiuchen, and we will definitely get through this difficulty!"
Ye Linglong's words were firm, but they could not hide the fatigue and worry deep in her eyes. Over the past few days, she has traveled to almost all the nearby mountains, but she has never found any trace of Gu Jiuchen.
"But..." Elder Li wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Ye Linglong waving his hand.
"Elder Li, I know what you are worried about," Ye Linglong took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, "But Jiuchen doesn't want us to give up like this. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up!"
At this moment, a disciple hurried in and said in a panic: "Sect Master, it's bad! Miss Zhao has been arrested!"
"What?!" Ye Linglong's expression suddenly changed, she grabbed the disciple's shoulders and asked eagerly, "How could Ling'er be caught? Who caught her?!"
The disciple was startled by Ye Linglong's reaction and stammered: "It's... they're from Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Sect! They... they said that if we don't give up resistance, they'll... kill us Miss Zhao!"
Ye Linglong felt her eyes go dark and almost fainted. Zhao Ling'er is her best friend and Gu Jiuchen's junior sister. She is absolutely
We can't just watch something happen to Zhao Ling'er!
"Where are they?!" Ye Linglong asked through gritted teeth, holding back the grief and anger in her heart.
The disciple pointed tremblingly to the north and said, "They... they are in Black Wind Valley!"
Black Wind Valley is the home base of the Black Demon Cult, and it is also a dangerous place that everyone in the world of cultivating immortals talks about. Ye Linglong knew that Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Sect chose to take action there, and they were obviously prepared.
"Damn it!" A fierce look flashed in Ye Linglong's eyes, and she turned around suddenly and said to Elder Li, "Elder Li, please summon all the disciples immediately and follow me to Black Wind Valley!"
"No!" Elder Li's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stopped him, "Black Wind Valley is extremely dangerous, we can't go there rashly!"
"But Ling'er..." Ye Linglong's voice was choked with tears, and tears filled her eyes.
"I know you are worried about Miss Zhao, but we cannot fall into the enemy's trick!" Elder Li said in a deep voice, "They captured Miss Zhao just to lure us into the trap. If we all go out and fall into their ambush, the consequences will be Unthinkable!”
Ye Linglong bit her lips tightly, her heart full of contradictions and struggles.
She knew what Elder Li said was right, but when she thought that Zhao Ling'er was falling into the clutches of the devil at this moment, she felt like a knife was twisting in her heart.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "No need to go, they are already here."
Ye Linglong suddenly looked up and saw a black mist falling from the sky, slowly condensing into two tall figures in front of everyone. These two people are none other than Zhao Wuji and the Black Demon Cult Leader!
"Zhao Wuji! You are despicable and shameless!" Ye Linglong was furious and hated
Don't rush up immediately and cut Zhao Wuji's corpse into thousands of pieces.
Zhao Wuji sneered and said: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, how can you say that you are despicable? Ye Linglong, I advise you to just surrender and be captured, so as not to suffer the physical pain!"
"Don't even think about it!" Ye Linglong pulled out the long sword, the sword body emitting a sharp cold light.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Zhao Wuji's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and black energy surged in his hands, turning into a black lightning and heading straight for Ye Linglong.
"Linglong, be careful!" A cry came from the distance, and a figure appeared in front of Ye Linglong like lightning and flint, blocking Zhao Wuji's attack.
"Jiuchen!" Ye Linglong was filled with surprise and tears filled her eyes.
Gu Jiuchen gently patted Ye Linglong's shoulder to reassure her, then turned to look at Zhao Wuji coldly and said: "Zhao Wuji, the grudge between you and me should be settled today!"
"Huh, it's just you? You're overestimating your capabilities!" Zhao Wuji snorted disdainfully and launched another attack.
Gu Jiuchen was not afraid and fought with Zhao Wuji. Both of them were top masters in the world of immortality. The battle was extremely fierce. The surrounding trees were completely destroyed by the violent energy, and countless shocking cracks were left on the ground.
Ye Linglong knew that this was their last chance.
