Chapter 845: First Failure

However, the man in black's goal had been achieved. He took advantage of the chaos and exited the meeting hall, disappearing into the night. However, the relationship between Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong was cast a shadow because of this, and they could never go back to the past.

The meeting hall was in chaos. Gu Jiuchen suppressed his anger and left without saying a word, leaving Ye Linglong alone to face everyone's doubts and accusations. Back at her residence, Ye Linglong could no longer suppress the grievance in her heart, and tears burst into her eyes.

"Linglong, don't cry. I believe Brother Gu is not that kind of person." Mingyue hugged Ye Linglong distressedly and comforted softly.

"But why did that person slander him? Is all this true?" Ye Linglong choked and said, "No, I don't believe it. I want to find out personally and make Jiuchen innocent!"

Mingyue knew Ye Linglong's character and would never change things easily once decided, so she said, "Okay, I'll investigate with you!"

In order not to alert others, Ye Linglong and Mingyue decided to investigate secretly. They first started with the person who spread the rumors, and after several twists and turns, they finally found the first person who spread the news. This person is just an outer disciple, usually taciturn and inconspicuous.

"Who asked you to spread those rumors?" Ye Linglong asked coldly.

The disciple was so frightened that he trembled all over and said hesitantly: "I...I don't know, it's a man in black. He gave me a lot of spiritual stones and asked me to spread those words..."

"The man in black? Do you still remember his appearance?" Mingyue asked.

The disciple tried hard to remember, but could only describe a vague figure, and could not determine the identity of the other party at all.

The clue goes here

The inside was broken, and both Ye Linglong and Mingyue felt very frustrated. At this moment, Mingyue suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I overheard a few disciples talking a few days ago. They said that they often saw some suspicious people coming in and out near the forbidden area in the back mountain. Is it possible? Is it related to this matter?”

Ye Linglong's eyes lit up. The forbidden area in the back mountain was the forbidden area of ​​the Tianxian Sect. It was guarded by formations all the year round. Ordinary disciples could not get close to it. If there was really someone active there, there was only one possibility - the Demon Sect!

Thinking of this, Ye Linglong and Mingyue decided to take a risk and find out. They took advantage of the cover of night and quietly sneaked into the forbidden area behind the mountain. After some exploration, I finally found some clues in front of a hidden cave. A simple barricade was set up at the entrance of the cave, obviously to prevent outsiders from entering.

"It seems we have found the right place." Ye Linglong lowered her voice and said, "Mingyue, let's be careful and go in and take a look."

The two of them worked together to break the restriction and cautiously walked into the cave. It was pitch dark inside the cave, and you couldn't see your fingers. There were faint waves of eerie and terrifying atmosphere, which made people shudder.

"Who?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in the darkness, and then, several black shadows surrounded them from all directions...

Ye Linglong and Mingyue reacted very quickly, each using their magic weapons, and their spiritual power surged in the narrow cave. The long sword in Ye Linglong's hand danced wildly like a silver snake, and the sword energy was strong and horizontal, forcing several men in black to retreat. Mingyue presented a simple bronze mirror. The mirror surface was filled with light, and beams of light shot out, enveloping several men in black, making them unable to get close for a while.

"They are disciples of the right path, fight quickly

Decide quickly and don't alert others! "The leader of the men in black shouted sternly.

The men in black received the instructions, and their attacks became more fierce and fierce. They were obviously determined to kill. Ye Linglong and Mingyue were back to back, struggling to resist, but the opponent was outnumbered and their cultivation was not weak, so they gradually fell behind.

"Mingyue, this is not the way to go, we have to break out!" Ye Linglong said anxiously while resisting the attack of the man in black.

"But, we are completely unfamiliar with the terrain here, how can we break out?" Mingyue asked worriedly.

"I can't worry about so much anymore. Let's rush out first!" Ye Linglong made a prompt decision, shook the long sword in her hand, and used the move "Flying Flowers Chasing the Moon". The sword light was like a rain of flowers in the sky, forcing back the men in black around them, and then He pulled Mingyue and rushed out of the cave.

However, just when they were about to rush out of the cave, they found that the cave entrance had been blocked by a black light curtain at some point.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" The leader of the men in black sneered, "Now that you're here, let's all stay!"

Ye Linglong and Mingyue were suddenly in a desperate situation. They were trapped in a cave, surrounded by enemies who were eyeing them, and there were more powerful enemies outside. Can they successfully escape the trap and expose the devil's conspiracy?

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" The leader of the men in black said in a cold tone, with unquestionable deterrence, "Since you are here, please stay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, strange runes appeared on the black light screen, flashing with faint light, as if a huge mouth was about to swallow Ye Linglong and Mingyue.

"Damn it, what kind of evil formation is this?!" Ye Linglong secretly cursed

With a sound, the long sword in his hand pulled out a sword flower, and the sharp sword energy struck the light curtain, but it only caused a ripple, and the light curtain remained stable.

"Don't waste your efforts," the man in black sneered, "This is the 'soul locking formation' set up by our leader himself. You two juniors also want to break the formation?"

Mingyue's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this. Although she didn't know how powerful the "Soul Locking Formation" was, but from the words spoken in black, it was obviously not a simple formation.

"Linglong, what should we do now?" Mingyue asked anxiously, with a hint of trembling in her tone.

Ye Linglong forced herself to calm down and looked around. The firelight in the cave was swaying, making the ferocious faces of the people in black even more terrifying. They have been surrounded, and trying to break out is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"We can only take one step at a time," Ye Linglong took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Even if I risk my life, I will protect you!"

"Hahaha, it's so touching!" The leader of the men in black laughed wildly, his tone full of ridicule, "But you have no chance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly became blurry, and the people in black around him quickly disappeared into the darkness like ghosts.

"Be careful!" Ye Linglong's heart rang with alarm bells. She pulled Mingyue back to back and watched the surrounding movements vigilantly.

Suddenly, a cold laughter came from the depths of the cave, which made people's hair stand on end.

"Two juniors who don't know how to live or die dare to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​our demon sect. They are really tired of living!"

Following the sound, a figure wearing a black robe with his face hidden under the hood slowly walked out, and every step seemed to be stepping on Ye Linglong's body.

It brought huge pressure to He Mingyue's heart.

"Who are you?" Ye Linglong felt the unfathomable cultivation of the person coming, her heart sank, and she clenched the sword in her hand.

"I am the leader of the Demon Cult, the messenger of shadow!" The man in black robe spoke arrogantly, with unquestionable majesty, "You can call me... Shadow!"

"Shadowbringer?" Ye Linglong repeated, becoming more vigilant. To be called a messenger, he must be a confidant of the leader of the Demon Cult, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Mingyue turned pale with fright, clutched Ye Linglong's sleeve tightly, and asked in a low voice: "Linglong, what should we do?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Linglong held Mingyue's cold hand with her backhand, giving her a hint of comfort. Although facing such a powerful enemy, she also felt tremendous pressure, but at this moment, she must remain calm in order to find a glimmer of hope.

"Hmph! I don't know the heights of the world, but I dare to call you by my name!" Another cold snort came from the depths of the cave, and then, a powerful pressure came overwhelmingly. Ye Linglong and Mingyue only felt a breath. Suffocated, his legs weakened and he almost fell to his knees.

"Teacher, leader..." When the shadow messenger heard the voice, he immediately knelt down on one knee, his tone full of awe.

The figure in black robe slowly floated closer, his hood slipped off, revealing a handsome but feminine face, it was none other than the leader of the Demon Cult - Nangong Jue.

"Are two young girls worthy of making you spend so much effort?" Nangong Jue's tone was contemptuous, and his eyes were full of disdain.

"Master, I forgive you, I just..." The Shadowbringer hurriedly explained, but was interrupted by Nangong Jue with a wave of his hand.

"That's all, since

They deliver it to your door themselves, so don’t waste it. Nangong Jue's eyes fell on Ye Linglong and Mingyue, with a playful smile on his lips, "I heard that you are Gu Jiuchen's disciples?" "

"So what?" Ye Linglong held back the surging energy and blood in her body, straightened her back, and met Nangong Jue's gaze without fear.

"Haha, you do have some backbone." Nangong Jue chuckled, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, but then turned cold and ruthless, "Unfortunately, none of you can save you today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Jue's figure flashed and he struck out as fast as lightning. Ye Linglong and Mingyue had no time to react. They only felt their eyes flash before being hit by a powerful force. Their bodies flew out and fell heavily. He fell on the cave wall, blood gushing from his mouth.

"Linglong! Mingyue!" An anxious shout came vaguely in Ye Linglong's ears, but she was unable to respond, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she finally fell into darkness.

…

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Linglong slowly opened her eyes and found that she and Mingyue were imprisoned in a dark and damp cell.

"Linglong, you're awake!" Mingyue cried with joy when she saw Ye Linglong woke up.

"Mingyue, where are we?" Ye Linglong struggled to sit up, feeling sore all over and the spiritual energy in her body was almost exhausted.

"This is the dungeon of the Demon Cult." Mingyue's voice was full of worry, "The Cult Leader said that he would use us to lure Master here, and then annihilate Master in one fell swoop!"
