Mortal Cultivation: Beginning with a Monkey Falling From the Sky

Chapter 810 Trying to Get Closer

However, the Nether Messenger's strength was so terrifying that even when Gu Jiuchen and others joined forces, they were unable to hurt him at all.

"Haha, you don't overestimate your capabilities!" The Nether Messenger laughed wildly, and a long black knife suddenly appeared in his hand. The blade was filled with black air, exuding a heart-stopping aura.

"Not good!" Gu Jiuchen's expression changed drastically. This knife is definitely an evil magic weapon!

The Nether Messenger raised his long sword and slashed it at Gu Jiuchen's head. Before the sword arrived, the sharp sword energy had already enveloped Gu Jiuchen.

"Jiuchen!" Ye Linglong exclaimed, trying to rescue, but it was already too late.

At this critical moment, a white light suddenly lit up from Gu Jiuchen's body, forming a white light shield, protecting Gu Jiuchen within it.

"clang!"

There was a loud noise, and the Nether Messenger's long knife struck the light shield, but was unable to break it even a bit.

"What?!" The Nether Messenger was shocked. What is this light shield that is so strong?

"Who is it? Get out of here!" The Nether Messenger roared angrily and looked around.

However, there was no one around, only faint echoes echoed in the secret room.

The Nether Messenger was filled with surprise and uncertainty. He could feel that there was a powerful force secretly protecting Gu Jiuchen, preventing him from succeeding.

"Hmph, you are lucky today!" The Nether Messenger snorted coldly, and his body turned into a black smoke and disappeared into the secret room.

The white light on Gu Jiuchen also disappeared. He stood there in shock, his heart full of doubts: Who is protecting him secretly?

Gu Jiuchen looked solemn and exhaled slowly. He couldn't understand the strangeness of the white light just now. Could it be that there is really such a powerful hermit expert in this world who can stop the Nether Messenger without any effort?

He looked around and saw that except for them, there was no one else in the secret room. Ye Linglong anxiously checked his injuries and felt relieved when she saw that he was fine.

"Jiuchen, are you okay?"

Gu Jiuchen shook his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the corner of the secret room, where a few wisps of black smoke had not completely dissipated, which were traces of the Nether Messenger's departure.

He squatted down and looked carefully, and found that there was a faint fragrance mixed in the black smoke. This fragrance...

"This is the smell of 'Ghost Sophora'!"

Xuan Yu on the side exclaimed, "Ghost locust is a unique plant in the devil world. Its fragrance can mask the breath and confuse the mind. How can there be such a thing on the Nether Messenger?"

Gu Jiuchen frowned. Could it be said that the Nether Messenger has some connection with the devil world?

He stood up, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave here first."

Everyone nodded and followed Gu Jiuchen out of the secret room.

Back at his residence, Gu Jiuchen told everyone what happened in the secret room, and highlighted the "ghost locust" fragrance on the Nether Messenger's body.

"Ghost Sophora? Could it be that the Nether Messenger is a spy sent by the devil?" Lin Wanqing exclaimed.

Gu Jiuchen shook his head and said thoughtfully: "It's hard to say this yet, but there are too many doubts about the Nether Messenger. We must find out his details as soon as possible."

"Jiuchen, I heard that Guihuai grows in the far north of the Demon Realm. It is shrouded in miasma all year round and ordinary people can't get close to it." Ye Linglong said, "If we want to find out the origin of Guihuai, I'm afraid we have to go somewhere. Travel to the devil world."

Gu Jiuchen nodded and said: "Linglong is right. It seems that we are going to the devil world."

His eyes were firm and there was a hint of determination in his tone.

The next day, Gu Jiuchen and others disguised themselves, left Tianxian Sect, and headed towards the demon world.

In order to deceive others, they deliberately avoided densely populated areas along the way and walked on some remote paths.

"Jiuchen, look, what is that?"

After walking for about half a day, Ye Linglong suddenly pointed to a valley ahead and said.

Gu Jiuchen looked in the direction of Ye Linglong's finger and saw a vaguely black tower in the valley. The top of the tower was filled with black air, exuding an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

"That place seems to be a forbidden area in the demon world." Xuan Yu said in a deep voice, "I once heard Master say that there is an extremely terrifying demon sealed in that tower. Anyone who approaches there will be eroded by the demonic energy. , turned into a walking zombie."

"The Forbidden Land of the Demon Realm?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Gu Jiuchen's eyes. Maybe the answer they were looking for was in that tower.

Gu Jiuchen looked back at the huge black tower behind him, feeling a faint uneasiness rising in his heart. He turned around and said to everyone: "Let's go."

The group of people did not stop and walked straight towards the valley.

Along the way, Lin Wanqing carefully prepared dry food and water for everyone, and asked about everyone's condition from time to time, showing gentleness and consideration. Ever since Gu Jiuchen was injured last time, she had volunteered to take on the task of caring for the wounded and providing logistics, which made Gu Jiuchen look at her with admiration.

"Wanqing, thank you for your hard work." Gu Jiuchen looked at Lin Wanqing who was busy, and felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

"Master Gu, you're welcome. This is what I should do." Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

As night fell, the valley was pitch dark, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Gu Jiuchen and others used the faint starlight to grope their way forward. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they slowed down and tried not to make any noise.

"It's just ahead." Ye Linglong said in a low voice. She held a luminous pearl in her hand, which emitted a faint light and illuminated the road ahead.

Under the faint pearl light, a dense forest appeared in front of them, with swaying shadows, as if hiding countless unknown dangers. Gu Jiuchen signaled everyone to stop, and he whispered: "Be careful, there is something strange here."

Ye Linglong nodded, dimmed the light of the night pearl, then took out a handful of silver needles from her arms, waved them gently, and the silver needles disappeared into the night.

"Let's go." She said softly, and took the lead in stepping into the woods.

Gu Jiuchen followed closely behind, while Xuan Yu and Lin Wanqing guarded the team on both sides, vigilantly observing the movements around them.

The woods were quiet, with only a few cries of night owls occasionally coming, adding a bit of weird atmosphere.

They walked for about an incense stick of time, but found that they seemed to have been spinning in the same place, and the surrounding scenery did not change at all.

"What's going on?" Lin Wanqing asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

"We may be trapped in an illusion." Gu Jiuchen frowned and said in a deep voice.

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed dramatically. The originally dense forest disappeared in an instant, replaced by a desolate desert.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the rolling heat waves hit people's faces, making it hard to breathe.

"This is..." Lin Wanqing exclaimed, shielding the dazzling sunlight with her hands.

"Illusion." Gu Jiuchen uttered two words lightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He knew that this was just the beginning.

Sure enough, the next moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the desert, flying sand and rocks, covering the sky and the sun. The gust of wind was mixed with countless swords and shadows, sweeping towards them.

Gu Jiuchen and others did not dare to neglect, and they all sacrificed their magic weapons to resist the attack of the gust of wind.

The long sword in Ye Linglong's hand flew, turning into silver light, smashing the swords and shadows one by one. Xuan Yu sacrificed a huge shield to protect everyone behind him and resist the impact of the gust of wind.

Although Lin Wanqing's cultivation was weak, she also tried her best to wave the long whip in her hand to repel the attacks that tried to approach.

However, this illusion seemed endless. As soon as one wave of attacks passed, another wave of attacks followed. Gu Jiuchen and others were exhausted and exhausted.

"This is not a solution. We must find a way to break the formation as soon as possible." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, with a flash of determination in his eyes.
