Chapter 819 New Threat
A few days later, in the morning, Gu Jiuchen sat alone in the study, holding a letter in his hand, his face terribly gloomy.
This letter was found in a secret cave in the forbidden area of the back mountain. The content of the letter was the communication between Xuanfeng and the Demon Cult! In the letter, Xuanfeng described in detail the deployment of the Tianxian Sect, the cultivation realm of the disciples, and even mentioned the cultivation methods of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong!
It turned out that Mingyue’s feeling that night was not wrong. There was indeed someone spying in the dark. But no one expected that this person would be Xuanfeng, who was usually taciturn and seemed honest!
"Bang!"
Gu Jiuchen slapped the table with his palm, and the mahogany table was instantly broken into pieces. He never thought that his most trusted disciple would betray his master and join the Demon Cult!
"Xuanfeng, why did you do this?!" Gu Jiuchen roared with red eyes and gritted teeth.
At this moment, the door knocked gently, and Ye Linglong walked in. Seeing Gu Jiuchen's appearance, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she asked, "Jiuchen, what happened?"
Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, handed the letter in his hand to Ye Linglong, and said in a deep voice, "You can read it yourself."
Ye Linglong took the letter and read it carefully. Her face became ugly. She never thought that Xuanfeng, who always stood silently behind Gu Jiuchen and seemed to have no sense of existence, would be a venomous snake hidden in the dark!
"Where is he now?" Ye Linglong put down the letter and asked in a deep voice.
"I sent someone to secretly monitor him, but he has been staying in his room these days without any unusual movements." Gu Jiuchen shook his head and said.
Ye Linglong pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go meet him."
Gu Jiuchen said worriedly, "No, it's too dangerous! What if..."
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Ye Linglong interrupted Gu Jiuchen and turned to walk out of the study.
After Ye Linglong left, Gu Jiuchen paced back and forth in the study, feeling anxious. He knew that Ye Linglong had made up her mind, and it was useless for him to persuade her. However, there was always a lingering shadow in his heart that made him unable to rest assured.
At the same time, Li Yifeng was flipping through the voluminous ancient books in the Tianxian Sect's library. Since he learned that Xuanfeng might betray his master, he took the initiative to take the responsibility of investigating Xuanfeng. Li Yifeng was meticulous and good at analysis. He believed that as long as he investigated carefully, he would be able to find evidence of Xuanfeng's betrayal.
Finally, in an ancient book that recorded the names of the disciples of the Tianxian Sect, Li Yifeng found a clue. He found that before joining the Tianxian Sect, Xuanfeng had actually stayed in a bandit's den called "Black Wind Village" for a period of time! And this Black Wind Village was a stronghold of the Demon Sect!
Li Yifeng's heart trembled, and he continued to check it down, and finally he found a secret scroll that had been sealed for many years. This secret scroll records that ten years ago, the Tianxian Sect had a great war with the Demon Sect. At that time, the Demon Sect suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the Black Wind Village. In this war, a disciple of the Tianxian Sect also defected and joined the Demon Sect. This person was Xuanfeng!
"So that's it!" Li Yifeng suddenly realized that he finally understood why Xuanfeng betrayed his master. It turned out that he didn't really want to join the Tianxian Sect. He was a spy sent by the Demon Sect from the beginning!
Li Yifeng didn't dare to neglect it and immediately informed Gu Jiuchen of the situation he had investigated. After Gu Jiuchen learned the truth, he was even more furious. He never thought that he had been deceived by this wolf in sheep's clothing for so many years!
"This traitor, I must tear him into pieces!" Gu Jiuchen said with gritted teeth.
The news soon reached the ears of Liu Yaonian and Lin Luan. After learning that Xuanfeng had betrayed his master, they were extremely shocked and angry. They have been with Xuanfeng for many years and have long regarded him as a brother, but they never thought that he would do such a despicable thing!
"We must not let Xuanfeng succeed!" Lin Luan clenched his fists and said firmly.
"We must strengthen the defense of the sect to prevent the attack of the Demon Cult!" Liu Yaonian said calmly.
The people of Tianxian Sect were in panic for a while. Everyone was shocked by Xuanfeng's betrayal, and at the same time they were deeply worried about the upcoming crisis.
The atmosphere of Tianxian Sect became particularly solemn because of Xuanfeng's betrayal. The disciples patrolled more cautiously and were more vigilant when practicing. Lin Wanqing even locked herself in the room, flipping through the information collected from all over the place without sleep. Her fingers gently stroked the yellowed paper, her brows were furrowed, and her expression was solemn. Suddenly, she sat up straight and her eyes fell on the latest intelligence received, which clearly said: The Demon Cult has been active recently, and it is suspected that there will be large-scale actions.
Lin Wanqing's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She immediately went to Gu Jiuchen's study. Gu Jiuchen was staring out the window in a daze. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and saw Lin Wanqing, asking, "Wanqing, have you made any new discoveries?"
Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and handed the information in her hand to Gu Jiuchen: "Master, please take a look at this."
Gu Jiuchen took the information and read it carefully. The content of the information was not very detailed, but it was enough for him to smell the breath of danger. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely true." Lin Wanqing said firmly, "I suspect that the target of the Demon Cult this time is likely to be our Tianxian Sect."
Gu Jiuchen nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He knew that a bigger storm was coming, and they had to be fully prepared to withstand the Demon Cult's attack.
At the same time, Qi Rong and Zhu Tai were patrolling the mountains and forests near Tianxian Sect. The two of them talked and laughed all the way, the atmosphere was relaxed, and they did not realize that the danger was approaching. Suddenly, a gust of wind came, and the surrounding trees shook violently, and the fallen leaves flew, blocking the sky and the sun.
"No, there's a situation!" Zhu Tai reacted quickly, immediately drew out his sword and looked around warily.
"Hahaha, I reacted very quickly, but it's a pity it's too late!" With an arrogant laughter, a dozen demon sect disciples wearing black clothes and holding sharp blades sprang out from the woods, surrounding Qi Rong and Zhu Tai. .
The leader is Xuan Feng who betrayed his master! He was wearing a black robe, with a cold smile on his face, and stared at Qi Rong and Zhu Tai with cold eyes, as if he were looking at two dead people.
"Xuanfeng, you traitor! You actually colluded with the Demon Sect and harmed your fellow disciples!" Qi Rong was furious, pointing at Xuanfeng and angrily scolded.
"Hmph, a king becomes a king or a bandit loses. Those who know the current situation are heroes. I just chose a path that is more suitable for me." Xuanfeng sneered, "Today is the day you die!"
Qi Rong roared angrily and swung his sword to meet him. The sword energy was like a rainbow, approaching Xuanfeng's face. Zhu Tai was not to be outdone. His figure was like lightning, his sword skills were sharp, and his moves were fierce. The two of them joined forces to fight against the demon sect disciples brought by Xuan Feng.
However, Xuanfeng was Gu Jiuchen's disciple after all, and his strength should not be underestimated. In addition, he knew the Tianxian Sect's techniques very well, and he quickly gained the upper hand. While dealing with Qi Rong and Zhu Tai, he sneered and said, "Is this all you have? I'm so disappointed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanfeng suddenly attacked and knocked back Qi Rong with a palm. Then his body flashed and turned into a black shadow, disappearing deep into the dense forest.
"Stop chasing, don't chase after the poor!" Zhu Tai grabbed Qi Rong, who wanted to pursue, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the sect and report to the master first, and then make plans."
Although Qi Rong was unwilling, he also knew that this was not the time to act impulsively, so he could only nod angrily and return to Tianxian Sect with Zhu Tai.
After returning to Tianxian Sect, Qi Rong and Zhu Tai immediately reported their encounter with Xuan Feng to Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.
"What? Xuanfeng actually betrayed the sect and colluded with the demon sect!" Upon hearing this, Ye Linglong suddenly turned pale and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? Senior brother Xuanfeng..."
Gu Jiuchen's face was terrifyingly gloomy. Although he had already expected that Xuanfeng might do something outrageous, when it all happened, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of deep disappointment and anger in his heart.
"It seems that we still underestimated the conspiracy of the Demon Cult." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, "Xuanfeng's betrayal is no accident. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind it!"
At this moment, Lin Wanqing hurried over and said solemnly to Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong: "Master, Master, I just received the news that the demon sect's army has been assembled and is heading in the direction of our Tianxian Sect. At most We’ll arrive in three days!”
"What?!" Ye Linglong's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this, and she exclaimed, "The demon sect's army is approaching fiercely, what should we do?"
Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, all disciples, immediately enter combat mode and prepare to face the enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black spell came through the air, landed directly in front of Gu Jiuchen, turned into a black mist, and dissipated in the air.
Gu Jiuchen's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "No, this is the transmission note of the Demon Sect!"
Ye Linglong quickly asked: "What did it say?"
Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and said word by word: "In three days, there will be a decisive battle at the top of the Tianxian Sect. If you don't fight, the Tianxian Sect will be wiped out with blood, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
