Chapter 830 Malicious Provocation
Under the cover of night, the Tianxian Sect was brightly lit, and the peaceful mountain gate in the past was now enveloped in a tense atmosphere. The news of the demon sect's comeback exploded like thunder, breaking the short-term calm. The disciples looked solemn, holding weapons tightly in their hands, and anxiety spread among the crowd.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that it almost solidified. Gu Jiuchen was dressed in a plain white robe, sitting on the main seat. His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his deep eyes shone with an icy light, which made people shudder.
"The Demon Sect goes too far!" Li Yifeng angrily shouted at the police, "They are blatantly provoking! We should kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and let them know how powerful our Tianxian Sect is!"
"Don't act rashly." On the side, Xuan Yu calmly analyzed, "The demon sect is coming with a lot of force this time. We don't know their details yet, so if we attack rashly, we are afraid of falling into his trap."
While everyone was arguing, a disciple hurriedly ran into the hall and shouted in a panic: "Sect Master! The devil's envoy wants to see you!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Everyone looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.
"What's he doing here?" Ye Linglong asked in a low voice, frowning slightly.
"Hmph, I'll go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Gu Jiuchen smiled coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Let him come in."
A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a sinister face walked into the hall with a swagger, surrounded by two Demon Cult disciples. He glanced at everyone present with a cold look, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Jiuchen.
"Sect Master Gu, you're fine." The Demon Cult envoy said in a sinister tone, his tone full of provocation.
"What are you doing for me?" Gu Jiuchen's tone was cold, without any politeness.
"My leader has admired Sect Master Gu for a long time, and specially sent me to declare a challenge." The demon sect envoy said, taking out a black letter from his arms and throwing it on the table in front of Gu Jiuchen, "In three days, In the battle at Blood Demon Ridge, I hope Sect Leader Gu will not disappoint my leader."
Ye Linglong noticed that Gu Jiuchen's fingers moved slightly, apparently trying to control his anger. She took a deep breath and took a step forward. Just as she was about to speak, she was held back by Gu Jiuchen.
"This matter has nothing to do with you." Gu Jiuchen whispered, with unquestionable determination in his tone.
Ye Linglong wanted to say something more, but seeing the determined look in Gu Jiuchen's eyes, she swallowed the words she spoke. She knew that Gu Jiuchen had made up his mind and no one could change his decision.
"Okay! See you in Blood Demon Ridge in three days!" Gu Jiuchen said every word, his tone cold, as if squeezed out from between his teeth.
The Demon Cult envoy smiled triumphantly, turned and left the hall. He believes that this time, they will be able to completely destroy the Tianxian Sect and take back everything that belongs to them!
The back of the demon sect messenger disappeared at the entrance of the hall. Gu Jiuchen stood up suddenly, and the tea cup in his hand shattered with a sound, and the fragments scattered everywhere, just like his mood at the moment. The atmosphere in the hall became more solemn, and everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to speak, for fear of offending the usually cold and aloof sect leader.
"Sect Master, Wanwan
Don't agree! "Elder Xuanfeng was the first to break the silence. He advised worriedly, "The Demon Sect is here well prepared this time. The people who come are not good. We must not fall into their trap. "
Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger surging in his heart. He understood Elder Xuanfeng's concerns and knew that he should not be carried away by anger at this moment. He sat down slowly, his tone still cold, but a little more calm: "Do you have any good ideas?"
"In my opinion, we should adopt a roundabout strategy." Elder Xuanfeng stroked his gray beard and said in deep thought, "The demon sect is coming with great force this time. We should not confront them head-on. The top priority is to stabilize them and strengthen defense secretly. Find out their details and then make plans.”
"Master, I also believe that the enemy should not be underestimated." Li Yifeng, who had been silent all this time, stood up. His sharp eyebrows and starry eyes were very heroic, "The demon sect has many tricks, and we must guard against them."
"Yes." Gu Jiuchen nodded slightly and agreed. His eyes swept across everyone and finally landed on Ye Linglong. "Linglong, what about you? What do you think?"
Ye Linglong has been listening to everyone's discussion quietly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she is constantly analyzing the current situation in her mind. When she heard Gu Jiuchen's roll call, she took a step forward and said in a calm tone: "I believe that the demon sect's envoys came here this time, in addition to issuing a letter of challenge, they also have another purpose, and that is to test our reality."
"Testing the truth?" Gu Jiuchen raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
"That's right." Ye Linglong nodded and continued, "The devil's envoy came here this time with an arrogant and domineering attitude and full of words.
It is full of provocations, and its purpose is to provoke us and make us confused, so that they can take advantage of it. "
"In your opinion, how should we respond?" Mingyue asked. She had been standing next to Ye Linglong. Their eyes met, and they seemed to be communicating silently.
Ye Linglong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a confident smile. She lowered her voice and slowly said her plan: "We can use the arrogance of the demon sect's envoy to set a trap and capture him in one fell swoop..."
Her voice was very soft, but it was like a thunder that exploded in the hall. Everyone looked at each other, seeing surprise and a hint of expectation in each other's eyes.
At this time, outside the main hall, the night was deep, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was the night of the murder...
Ye Linglong's plan was like a flash of lightning in the night sky, lighting up the hope in everyone's hearts. However, Li Yifeng was opposed to this. His nature is like a raging fire, and he advocates sending troops directly to confront the demon sect head-on to show the strength and determination of the righteous way.
"Although Linglong's plan is wonderful, it is too risky," Li Yifeng frowned and said firmly, "How can we place our hopes on the enemy's underestimation? Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative and catch them off guard! "
His words resonated with many people, especially some young disciples, who were eager to try and make contributions on the battlefield. For a time, the atmosphere in the hall became more heated, and two different opinions collided with each other, sparking sparks.
Gu Jiuchen sat in the main seat and said nothing, just quietly listening to everyone's argument. His deep gaze is as vast as
The starry sky makes it difficult to understand his thoughts. He understood Li Yifeng's concerns and Ye Linglong's plan, but he knew better that no matter which plan he chose, he would face huge risks.
While everyone was arguing, Gu Jiuchen slowly stood up, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall. He glanced around the crowd with blazing eyes, and finally said slowly: "I have made a decision on this matter."
His voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty, instantly calming the noise in the hall. Everyone held their breath, waiting for his final decision.
"I decided to meet this devil's envoy in person."
As soon as Gu Jiuchen's words came out, he immediately caused an uproar. Everyone was shocked and looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes. They never thought that Gu Jiuchen would make such a risky decision.
"Sect Master, you must not do this!" Elder Xuanfeng was the first to stand up and object, his old face full of worry, "The demon sect has bad intentions this time. How can you put yourself in danger if you have a noble status?"
"Yes, Sect Master, please think again!" Other elders also tried to dissuade him. They all understood that Gu Jiuchen was the pillar of the Tianxian Sect. If something happened to him, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, Gu Jiuchen's mind was made up, and he said firmly: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade you. I am not going to fight with them, but to explore their true and falsehoods and prepare for future wars." Prepare."
His eyes fell on Ye Linglong, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Linglong, you come with me."
Ye Linglong felt warm in her heart. She understood that Gu Jiu
Chen's intention was to take this opportunity to secretly protect her safety. She nodded slightly in agreement.
Mingyue pulled Ye Linglong's sleeves worriedly, but was stopped by her firm eyes. She knew that no matter what happened, she would fight side by side with Gu Jiuchen and never back down.
The meeting place was set in a deserted valley a hundred miles away from Tianxian Sect. It was inaccessible and surrounded by mountains. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was an excellent place for negotiations.
On the day of the meeting, Gu Jiuchen came to the agreed place alone. He was dressed in white, with a sword on his waist. His tall and straight posture was like an unsheathed sword, exuding a fierce aura. Behind him, Ye Linglong was wearing a light blue dress, like an elegant lotus, following him quietly.
The Demon Cult envoy has been waiting for a long time. He is dressed in black, has a stern face, and a cold light flashing in his eyes. Seeing Gu Jiuchen's arrival, he raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said in an arrogant tone: "Sect Leader Gu, I have long admired your name."
Gu Jiuchen's expression remained unchanged, but he was thinking about how to protect the safety of Ye Linglong and Zhengdao. He knew that this negotiation was destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers...
In the deserted valley, there was a chilling atmosphere. The withered yellow weeds trembled in the cold wind, and the bare branches were like withered arms pointing to the gray sky.
Gu Jiuchen stood with his hands behind his back, as towering and motionless as a mountain. He has a tall and straight figure and is dressed in spotless white clothes. He is incompatible with the desolate scenery, but he still exudes an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, and he calmly stared at the black-clothed figure in front of him, feeling in his heart
But it has already caused a storm.
The demon messenger was dressed in black and blended in with the surrounding environment, as if he were a ghost coming out of the darkness. There was a playful smile on his face, and his sharp eyes were like a poisonous snake, looking back and forth on Gu Jiuchen, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Sect Master Gu is indeed punctual." The Demon Cult envoy said in a sinister tone, his tone full of provocation, "It seems that the rumor that the Celestial Immortal Sect Master is not close to women is just a hypocritical appearance."
He turned his gaze to Ye Linglong, who was standing behind Gu Jiuchen, with a trace of greed flashing in his eyes: "This must be Miss Ye, right? She is indeed the most powerful person in the country. No wonder Sect Leader Gu is so concerned."
Ye Linglong looked indifferent and didn't care at all about the frivolous tone of the Demon Cult messenger. Her beautiful eyes moved with a hint of cunning, as if she had read through his mind.
"Presumptuous!" Gu Jiuchen shouted coldly, and a powerful pressure broke out instantly, sweeping across the entire deserted valley like a violent wind.
The Demon Cult envoy's face changed slightly, and he took half a step back before steadying himself. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his previous arrogance and sneered: "Is Sect Leader Gu trying to use his power to overwhelm others? I advise you to save your energy and hand over Miss Ye obediently, otherwise... …”
He deliberately prolonged his voice, his eyes full of threats.
"Otherwise, what?" Gu Jiuchen's face remained unchanged and his tone was as cold as frost, "You alone are worthy of speaking nonsense in front of me?"
"Humph, Gu Jiuchen, don't make a toast and eat as a penalty!" The demon sect envoy laughed angrily, "I advise you to recognize the reality. Now that the demon sect's army is approaching, you, the Celestial Immortal Sect, are alone.
You are helpless, as long as I give the order, I can raze you to the ground in an instant! "
He paused, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and then said: "If you know this, please hand over Ye Linglong obediently, and I can consider sparing your Tianxian Sect's life, otherwise..."
His eyes swept over Ye Linglong, and his tone was solemn: "I will make sure that you, the Heavenly Immortal Sect, will not be left alone!"
Faced with the envoys of the Demon Cult, how will Gu Jiuchen respond? How will Ye Linglong resolve this crisis?
