Chapter 811 Frustration

Ye Linglong took a deep breath and circulated the true energy in her body to the extreme. The long sword in her hand shone brightly and split the illusion in front of her with one sword. The illusion was broken, and the surrounding scenery returned to normal. They returned to the quiet forest.

"Finally out." Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, with a trace of fatigue on her face.

"Don't take it lightly, we are not out of danger yet." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

"There!" Ye Linglong suddenly pointed to a big tree not far ahead and whispered.

Gu Jiuchen followed her gaze and saw a vague figure standing under the tree with his back to them, seemingly not noticing their arrival.

"Let's go over and take a look." Gu Jiuchen whispered, and then led everyone to walk carefully towards the big tree.

As they got closer and closer, the figure gradually became clearer.

It was a person wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat. His face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his figure, it should be a man.

"Who are you and why are you sneaking around here?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a cold voice, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

However, the man in black did not answer, and still stood there motionless, as if he did not hear what he said.

"Are you deaf?" Ye Linglong said impatiently, and the long sword in her hand made a clear sound, as if ready to attack at any time.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly turned around, revealing a pale face under the moonlight, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You... are finally here..."

The man in black laughed creepily, but did not answer. Gu Jiuchen knew that something was wrong, and shouted sternly: "Pretending to be a ghost, watch out for the sword!" After that, he drew out the long sword behind him, and a sharp sword energy slashed the man in black.

The man in black did not dodge, and let the sword energy slash on his body, but there was no scar. He slowly raised his right hand, and a powerful force shook Gu Jiuchen back several steps.

"Master!" Lin Wanqing exclaimed, and hurried forward to support Gu Jiuchen.

Gu Jiuchen's face was pale, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He had never encountered such a powerful opponent, and just one move caused him internal injuries.

"Come together!" Ye Linglong shouted, waving her long sword to attack the man in black. Xuan Yu also sacrificed his magic weapon, and lightning struck the man in black.

However, the man in black still did not dodge, allowing the attack to fall on him, but he was unharmed. He just waved his hand lightly, and an invisible force shook Ye Linglong and Xuan Yu away.

"Puff!" Ye Linglong spit out a mouthful of blood, and her face turned pale in an instant. She struggled to stand up, but fell to the ground weakly.

"Linglong!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed to Ye Linglong desperately.

He picked up Ye Linglong and felt her breath with trembling hands, which was so weak that he could hardly feel it. Ye Linglong's eyes were tightly closed, her face was as pale as paper, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, which was shocking.

"Linglong! Wake up, look at me!" Gu Jiuchen's voice was trembling, his eyes were full of panic and helplessness. On weekdays, he was always calm and self-controlled, as if everything was under control, but at this moment, he was like a lost child, at a loss.

Ye Linglong had no reaction, as if she was sleeping in an endless nightmare. Gu Jiuchen's heart was like a knife, he had never been so scared, afraid of losing, afraid that there would be no bright smile in this world.

"Master, Linglong's wife..." Lin Wanqing's voice choked, she covered her chest, her face was pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She suffered a serious internal injury from the fight with the man in black just now.

Xuan Yu's situation was not optimistic either. His face was gray and the blood at the corner of his mouth had dried up. It was obvious that he had suffered a very serious internal injury. He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "This man's power is unfathomable. We...we are not his opponents."

Despair spread like a plague in everyone's heart. They had never been so powerless as they were now, as if they were strangled by an invisible big hand and couldn't breathe. Gu Jiuchen hugged Ye Linglong tightly, and the cold temperature coming from her made him feel like a knife cutting his heart. He never thought that he would be so powerless that he couldn't even protect his beloved. "You will regret it." The man in black said this and disappeared into the night like a ghost, leaving only a chilling back.

Gu Jiuchen looked up suddenly, with raging anger burning in his eyes, but he had nowhere to vent. Regret? Of course he would regret it, regret not discovering the enemy's strength earlier, regret not protecting Ye Linglong well.

"Linglong, hold on, I will definitely find a way to save you, definitely!" Gu Jiuchen hugged Ye Linglong tightly, his tone firm, as if he was making a promise for a lifetime. He had never been so eager for power as he is now, eager to control everything. Only in this way can he protect the people he wants to protect.

Xuan Yu struggled to stand up, walked to Gu Jiuchen, and said in a deep voice: "Master, this person's strength is unfathomable, we are afraid..."

"I know." Gu Jiuchen interrupted him, his voice was low, "But we can't give up, and we can't be defeated by fear. Linglong needs us, Tianxian Sect needs us, and we have a more important mission to complete."

His eyes swept over everyone present, and his tone was firm and powerful, "This battle is just the beginning, we will face more challenges, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and win in the end!"

Gu Jiuchen's words were like a bright light in the dark night, illuminating the hope in everyone's hearts. Yes, they can't just give up like this, they still have hope and a future.

Lin Wanqing endured the severe pain and took out a pill from her arms, wanting to give it to Ye Linglong.

"It's useless." Xuan Yu shook her head with a gloomy look, "Her injuries are too serious, ordinary pills are no longer helpful."

The atmosphere of despair spread in everyone's hearts, and Gu Jiuchen felt that his heart was being tightly grasped, and he could hardly breathe. At this moment, a figure flew over from a distance and shouted anxiously: "Big Brother, what happened?" The person who came was Li Yifeng. He was ordered to go out to investigate the news, but he didn't expect to see this miserable scene when he came back.

"Yifeng, why are you back? Sect..." Gu Jiuchen was interrupted by Li Yifeng before he finished speaking.

"Big Brother, it's bad! The sect... the sect was breached by the Demon Cult!" Li Yifeng's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, exploding in everyone's ears, ruthlessly destroying their last glimmer of hope.

Gu Jiuchen clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. The news of the sect's breach was like a huge rock, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe. But he couldn't fall down, Ye Linglong was still in a coma, and he had to avenge her!

"Big Brother..." Lin Wanqing's voice choked, she wanted to comfort Gu Jiuchen, but she didn't know where to start.

"I'm fine." Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and suppressed the grief in his heart, "Yifeng, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Li Yifeng suppressed his grief and recounted the details of the sect's attack. It turned out that when they were fighting with the mysterious figure, the leader of the Demon Cult, Heisha, led a large number of Demon Cult masters to raid the Tianxian Sect. Since Gu Jiuchen and most of the disciples were not in the sect, the defense was empty, resulting in the Tianxian Sect being quickly breached, and countless disciples were killed.

Gu Jiuchen listened to Li Yifeng's description, and the scene of the laughter and joy of his fellow disciples in the past emerged in his mind. Now they are separated by the Yin and Yang, and he was filled with grief and anger.

He slowly got up and walked to Ye Linglong's bed. Looking at her pale face, his heart was full of guilt and self-blame. If it weren't for his insistence on tracking down the whereabouts of the mysterious figure, Ye Linglong would not have been seriously injured, and the sect would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

"Linglong, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and my dead fellow disciples!" Gu Jiuchen clenched his fists, with a firm light in his eyes.

Li Yifeng walked to Gu Jiuchen and said in a deep voice: "Big Brother, what should we do now?"

"Find a safe place to settle down first, and then make plans." Gu Jiuchen forced himself to calm down. The most important thing now is to preserve his strength and not act rashly.

After finding a secluded cave and settling Ye Linglong down, they began to discuss their next plan.
