Mortal Cultivation: Beginning with a Monkey Falling From the Sky

Chapter 820 Dealing with Difficulties

The black fog dissipated, and the hall fell into a dead silence. Gu Jiuchen clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, and every word on the transmission note was like a soldering iron, deeply imprinted on his heart. Ye Linglong's face was pale. She had never seen Gu Jiuchen with such a solemn expression, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Linglong, go and inform all the disciples immediately to gather at the martial arts training ground!" Gu Jiuchen's voice was low and powerful, breaking the silence in the hall. Ye Linglong took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, turned around and left in a hurry.

Not long after, all the disciples lined up neatly on the Tianxian Sect's martial arts training ground with solemn expressions. Gu Jiuchen stood on the high platform, his eyes like torches, scanning everyone under the stage. "Disciples, our Tianxian Sect is facing an unprecedented crisis!" His voice was like a loud bell, resounding throughout the entire martial arts training ground.

"Xuanfeng, that senior brother you once trusted has betrayed the sect and taken refuge in the Demon Cult!" As soon as Gu Jiuchen said this, the audience was in an uproar. The disciples looked at each other and couldn't believe this was true.

"Master, is this true?" Li Yifeng asked in disbelief, his eyes full of shock and doubt.

Gu Jiuchen didn't speak, but nodded slowly, with a look of regret flashing in his eyes. He knew that for these young disciples, Xuanfeng's betrayal was undoubtedly a huge blow.

"The devil's sect is coming fiercely this time. In three days, their troops will be on the city!" Gu Jiuchen's voice sounded again, with a bit of solemnity, "I have made up my mind, and I swear to live and die with the Tianxian Sect!"

"Swear to live and die with the Tianxian Sect!" The disciples shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky and the earth.

Ye Linglong stood beside Gu Jiuchen, looking at the excited disciples in front of her, a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that they were not fighting this battle alone.

"Jiuchen, we can't sit still and wait for death." Ye Linglong turned to look at Gu Jiuchen, her beautiful eyes shining with wisdom, "Although Xuanfeng betrayed the master, the clues he left behind may be our breakthrough."

Hearing this, Gu Jiuchen raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Linglong, what do you think?"

"We can use the clues left by Xuanfeng to set up a trap and lure the Demon Cult into falling into the trap!" Ye Linglong said firmly.

Gu Jiuchen's deep eyes flashed with admiration. Linglong's wisdom and calmness could always surprise him. "Okay, I'll follow what you said." He said decisively, "Yifeng, you are very thoughtful, so you will be responsible for collecting more information about the Demon Cult, especially about the deployment and troop allocation of this attack."

"Yes, Master!" Li Yifeng accepted the order with his hands in hand, his eyes shining with perseverance. He is well aware of the importance of information, which will be directly related to whether Tianxian Sect can occupy a favorable position in this battle. He quickly summoned several clever junior disciples and began to investigate the movements of the demon sect.

"Yao Nian, Luan'er," Gu Jiuchen turned his attention to the two female disciples, "You two have delicate minds and are familiar with the sect's layout, so you are responsible for organizing the disciples to strengthen the defenses, making sure that everything is foolproof."

"Yes, Master!" Liu Yaonian and Lin Luan responded in unison. They are well aware of the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, and the safety of the Tianxian Sect depends on their efforts. Liu Yaonian is gentle and meticulous, responsible for investigating potential safety hazards inside and outside the sect, and does not miss any corner. Lin Luan, who has a resolute and courageous character, is responsible for organizing manpower and working day and night to reinforce the city walls and repair the institutions to ensure that the Tianxian Sect is impregnable.

For a time, the entire Tianxian Sect was in motion, and the disciples were performing their duties at their respective posts, preparing for the upcoming war. There was a tense and solemn atmosphere in the air, and everyone knew that this was a test of life and death.

Lin Wanqing has shown extraordinary talent for mechanism formations since she was a child, and she also likes to delve into all kinds of ingenious techniques. Now faced with the threat of the Demon Cult, she devoted all her energy to improving the sect's defense. She traveled around every corner of the Tianxian Sect day and night, carefully surveying the terrain, and set up various exquisite traps at key locations. Some of these mechanisms are hidden and unpredictable, while others are powerful enough to make invading enemies pay a heavy price.

"Senior Sister Wanqing, your mechanism is so powerful!" A young disciple looked at the seemingly ordinary stone gate in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed. I saw Lin Wanqing gently flipping the mechanism on the door, and the stone door suddenly made a loud roar, and sharp blades poked out from the cracks in the door. The cold light flashed, making people shudder. "With these mechanisms, even if the Demon Cult really attacks, we can make it impossible for them to come back!" Another disciple said with confidence.

However, relying solely on defenses could not completely solve the problem. In order to take the initiative, Gu Jiuchen decided to send people to sneak into the demon sect to spy on the enemy. Qi Rong and Zhu Tai took the initiative to ask for help. They are both outstanding members of the younger generation of Tianxian Sect. Not only are they highly skilled in cultivation, but they are also resourceful and brave. They are the best candidates to carry out this mission.

"Master, please rest assured, we will fulfill our mission!" Qi Rong and Zhu Tai knelt down on one knee and made a solemn promise to Gu Jiuchen. Gu Jiuchen nodded, his eyes full of expectations and worries: "This trip is extremely dangerous. You must be careful and don't be reckless."

As night fell, Qi Rong and Zhu Tai led an elite team and quietly left the Tianxian Sect and sneaked towards the Demon Cult camp. They fought through obstacles all the way, avoiding layers of patrols, and finally arrived at their destination at dawn. However, just as they were preparing to take further action, an accident happened

"Who is it?!" An angry shout broke the silence of the night, and then countless torches lit up, surrounding Qi Rong and others. It turned out that their whereabouts had long been discovered by the Demon Cult, and what was waiting for them was a carefully arranged trap! Qi Rong knew that it was not good, but he remained calm in the face of danger and decisively ordered: "Break out!" However, the Demon Cult was well prepared, and Qi Rong and others were outnumbered and were soon divided and surrounded.

"Brother Qi Rong, be careful!" A disciple exclaimed, and saw a black shadow flash by. Qi Rong could not dodge in time and was hit in the chest by a palm. Blood spurted out, and the whole person flew backwards, and his life or death was uncertain

In the thick night, Qi Rong only felt a sweetness in his throat, and the fishy and hot blood surged up. His eyes went black and he lost consciousness. In a trance, he seemed to hear Zhu Tai's heartbreaking cry and the rampant laughter of the demon cultists around him

In the Tianxian Sect, the atmosphere was so solemn that it was suffocating. Gu Jiuchen's face was livid, and he tightly grasped the jade token representing Qi Rong's identity in his hand. The jade token had broken, indicating that his beloved disciple was in danger.

"Master, you must take care of yourself!" Liu Yaonian and others knelt in front of Gu Jiuchen, their eyes red, but they didn't know how to comfort him. Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his grief. He knew that now was not the time to be sad. As long as the threat of the Demon Cult was not eliminated, the Tianxian Sect would not have peace.

At this moment, a silver bell-like laughter came from a distance, breaking the dull atmosphere in the hall. Ye Linglong ran in excitedly, holding a thick ancient book, "Gu Jiuchen, come and see what treasure I found!"

Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly. Ye Linglong had always been disrespectful, but at this moment he could only suppress his annoyance and asked, "What did you find again?"

Ye Linglong put the ancient book on the table, pointed to one of the pages and said, "Look, there is a secret place called the Land of Falling Stars!"

Gu Jiuchen took the book and read it carefully. The words in the ancient book were obscure, but with his profound cultivation, he could barely understand the meaning. The book records that the Land of Falling Stars is an ancient relic, which contains powerful power, but it is also full of unknown dangers.

"Does this Land of Falling Stars really exist?" Ye Linglong's eyes flashed with curiosity. She was lively by nature and full of yearning for this mysterious place.

Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment, looked up at Ye Linglong, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Perhaps, we can go find this place."

"Really?" Ye Linglong jumped up in surprise, "Great! Let's go now!"

Gu Jiuchen shook his head, "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. The Starfall Land is full of dangers. We must be fully prepared before going there."
