Mortal Cultivation: Beginning with a Monkey Falling From the Sky

Chapter 804 Inner Pain

Gu Jiuchen felt the wind whistling in his ears and the scenery flying before his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was being held tightly in Ye Linglong's arms, stumbling away. He struggled to get up, but found that his whole body was weak, a mouthful of blood surged into his throat, his vision went dark, and he passed out.

"Jiuchen! Jiuchen!" Ye Linglong's anxious call came to his ears. Gu Jiuchen's eyelids trembled slightly, and finally he opened his heavy eyes. What caught his eye was Ye Linglong's pear-shaped face. The worry and anxiety in her eyes were like a sharp blade, piercing his heart severely.

"Linglong..." Gu Jiuchen's voice was hoarse and weak, as if it came from the other side of the world. He wanted to raise his hand to touch Ye Linglong's cheek, but found that he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

"You finally woke up!" Ye Linglong cried with joy, holding Gu Jiuchen's hand tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Don't be afraid, I will take you away!"

Gu Jiuchen's eyes crossed Ye Linglong's shoulders and looked into the distance, his eyes full of despair. He shook his head feebly, his voice low and hoarse, "It's useless, we can't escape..."

"Jiuchen, listen to me, we still have a chance!" Ye Linglong interrupted Gu Jiuchen's despair, her eyes were firm and powerful, "Mingyue has found evidence of Xuanfeng's betrayal, let's go find him now and let him He pays for what he did!"

Hearing the word "Xuanfeng", Gu Jiuchen's body trembled suddenly. He struggled to sit up, but the injuries on his body were affected and he couldn't help but groan. Ye Linglong quickly supported him and let him lean into her arms.

Mingyue handed a cloth bag to Gu Jiuchen and said solemnly: "Brother, here are letters about Xuanfeng's collusion with the Demon Sect, as well as evidence that he stole the sect's secret treasure."

Gu Jiuchen took the cloth bag with trembling hands and slowly opened it. When he saw the familiar handwriting on the letter, it seemed like a thunderbolt exploded in his mind. Every word in the letter was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart hard and making him miserable.

He couldn't believe that Xuanfeng, the disciple he had raised and watched since childhood, would betray his master and join the Demon Sect! The laughter, the friendship between master and disciple, all turned into nothing at this moment, turning into sharp thorns that pricked him to pieces.

"How could this happen...how could this happen..." Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, and the image of Xuanfeng when he was a child appeared in front of his eyes. At that time, Xuanfeng was innocent and full of curiosity about everything. He was always pestering him. Asked questions here and there, and I always patiently answered them for him.

He remembered that when Xuanfeng practiced swordplay for the first time, he accidentally hurt himself, and he desperately tried to heal him. He also comforted him and said: "There is no one who is not injured when practicing martial arts. As long as you persist, you will always be able to do it." One day I will become a great master!”

He still remembered that when Xuanfeng went out for training for the first time, he gave him many instructions and gave his many years of experience to him, hoping that he could return safely...

But why? Why is he like this? !

He fell weakly to the ground, letting tears blur his eyes. Ye Linglong hugged him tightly, and her heart ached as if it had been torn apart. She knew that for Gu Jiuchen, Xuanfeng's betrayal was more unbearable than any pain.

Mingyue's eyes were also red. She gently patted Gu Jiuchen's shoulder and whispered: "Brother, you have to take care of yourself. There are still many things waiting for you to do."

Gu Jiuchen slowly raised his head, his eyes full of exhaustion and despair, and he said hoarsely: "Linglong, let's go, get out of here."

Ye Linglong understood what he meant. Tianxian Sect, the place where he had devoted his whole life, has now become an indelible pain in his heart. She nodded, helped the weak Gu Jiuchen up, and said softly: "Okay, let's go."

Mingyue watched the two people leave with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that what Gu Jiuchen needed now was a quiet environment to heal, and she should stay and clean up the devastated mess.

The two of them headed west and came to a quiet valley. The valley is filled with birds and flowers, and the scenery is pleasant, as if it is isolated from the world. Ye Linglong found a cave and arranged it for Gu Jiuchen to stay.

Gu Jiuchen was lying on the stone bed, looking at the ceiling of the cave with empty eyes, thinking a lot. The scene of Xuanfeng's betrayal replayed in his mind over and over again, like sharp knives, executing him Ling Chi.

In the dead of night, the valley was silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects echoing in my ears. Gu Jiuchen was not sleepy at all. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The pain in his heart came in waves like a tide, almost drowning him. Ye Linglong sat beside the stone bed and looked at Gu Jiuchen quietly. His face was as pale as paper, and a look of pain flashed from time to time in his closed eyes. She knew that at this moment, he was trapped by his inner demons, and all she could do was accompany him.

The night wind blew from the entrance of the cave, bringing a bit of coolness. Ye Linglong gently put the cloak on Gu Jiuchen. He seemed to feel the warmth and moved slightly, but did not open his eyes.

Ye Linglong looked at his profile, feeling heartbroken. The once high-spirited leader of the Celestial Immortal Sect is now like a puppet that has lost all its vitality, which makes people feel heartbroken.

She reached out her hand and gently touched his eyebrows, trying to soothe the sadness between his eyebrows. However, the moment her fingertips touched his skin, Gu Jiuchen suddenly opened his eyes, full of vigilance and defense.

Ye Linglong was startled, quickly took back her hand, and asked softly: "Jiuchen, are you awake?"

Gu Jiuchen did not answer. He stared at the top of the cave with empty eyes, as if he did not hear Ye Linglong's voice at all.

"Jiuchen?" Ye Linglong was uneasy and called softly again.

Gu Jiuchen finally responded. He slowly turned his head to look at Ye Linglong, his eyes were complicated, with pain, confusion, and a little... fear?

"Linglong, is that you?" His voice was hoarse and low, as harsh as sandpaper rubbing against the ground.

"It's me, it's me." Ye Linglong held his hand and tried to give him strength, "I'm always by your side."

Gu Jiuchen held her hand in reverse, with amazing strength. Ye Linglong could feel the coldness of his palm and the trembling transmitted through his skin.

"Linglong," he suddenly said, with a hint of pleading in his tone, "Take me away from here, okay?"

Ye Linglong was stunned. Leave? Where to go? Before she could ask, Gu Jiuchen suddenly covered his chest in pain, curled up into a ball, and groaned in pain. Ye Linglong was shocked and quickly used her power to check his body, but found that his spiritual power was in chaos, like a sign of being possessed.

"Jiuchen, what's wrong with you?" Ye Linglong was extremely anxious, but she didn't know what to do.

"Take me away..." Gu Jiuchen's voice became weaker and weaker, but he kept repeating these three words.

Ye Linglong gritted her teeth, made up her mind, picked up Gu Jiuchen and rushed out of the cave. It was dark at night, and she didn't know where to go, but she knew that she had to take him away from here as soon as possible.
