Chapter 850 Reflection

What is the true identity of the mysterious man in black? What does his appearance mean? Can Zhengdao find a solution?

"Jiuchen!" Ye Linglong and Mingyue watched helplessly as the black shadow approached Gu Jiuchen, but were unable to stop it and could only cry out in despair.

At the critical moment, a sharp sword energy fell from the sky, forcing the mysterious man in black to take a few steps back.

"Who?!" The mysterious man in black said with a hint of surprise, obviously not expecting someone to interfere.

Gu Jiuchen took the opportunity to stabilize his body and looked up, only to see an old man wearing a blue robe with an immortal style coming with a sword. He was the leader of the righteous path, Zhenren Xuanfeng.

"Master!" Mingyue was ecstatic, as if she had seen a savior.

Master Xuanfeng nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on the mysterious man in black. He said in a deep voice: "Who are you, and why do you want to intervene in the dispute between good and evil factions?"

The mysterious man in black remained silent, seeming to be assessing the situation in front of him. After a moment, he sneered: "The battle between good and evil? It's just an excuse for you people who claim to be righteous. Today's matter has nothing to do with you. Retreat quickly and I will spare your life."

Master Xuanfeng's face darkened, and he sneered: "How dare you, the evil heretic, speak nonsense here! Today I will uphold justice for heaven and bring you to justice!"

Having said that, Master Xuanfeng stopped talking nonsense. He waved his long sword in his hand, and a green sword energy struck straight at the mysterious man in black.

The mysterious man in black snorted coldly, without dodging or evading, he waved one hand, and a black barrier appeared in front of him, blocking the green sword energy.

"With some ability, no wonder you dare to be so rampant." Master Xuanfeng's eyes flashed, and in his hand

The long sword was waved repeatedly, and green sword energy struck the mysterious man in black like a violent storm.

The mysterious man in black did not dare to be careless, and quickly formed seals with his hands. The black demonic energy rolled and turned into black whirlwinds, which violently collided with the green sword energy. For a time, the sky was filled with light and the sound of explosions was heard.

Upon seeing this, Gu Jiuchen and others joined the battle and joined forces with the righteous masters to besiege the mysterious man in black. However, the strength of the mysterious man in black is unfathomable. Even when faced with the siege, he is still able to handle it with ease and even has the upper hand.

At this moment, the mysterious man in black seemed to notice something, and his figure suddenly swayed, turning into a black shadow and fleeing into the distance.

"Want to leave?!" Master Xuanfeng shouted coldly, and was about to pursue him, but was blocked by several black beads thrown by the mysterious man in black.

"Boom boom boom!"

The black beads exploded, turning into black mist that filled the sky, shrouding Master Xuanfeng and others.

When the black fog dissipated, the mysterious man in black had long disappeared.

"Hateful, let him escape!" Gu Jiuchen's face was gloomy, and his heart was full of unwillingness.

Master Xuanfeng shook his head and sighed: "This person's strength is unfathomable and he is definitely not an ordinary person. Today's matter may not be that simple."

Gu Jiuchen's heart trembled and he asked: "Master, you mean..."

Master Xuanfeng said solemnly: "This person's identity is unknown, and his purpose is unclear, but judging from the fact that he helped the demon sect, he is definitely not a good person. Moreover, he is so powerful, I'm afraid..."

At this point, Master Xuanfeng did not continue, but Gu Jiuchen and others already understood what he meant.

Under the heavy night cover, the sky is like ink and dotted with stars. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Ling

Long found a secluded valley surrounded by towering ancient trees that blocked the moonlight.

"Damn it! He was allowed to escape!" Ye Linglong punched the tree trunk next to her angrily. Thinking of the contemptuous look in the eyes of the mysterious man in black before he left, she felt her heart getting angry.

Gu Jiuchen stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the dark night sky in the distance, his eyebrows furrowed. The mysterious man's strength is unfathomable, his attacks are ruthless and decisive, and he is by no means an ordinary person. What happened today is probably just the beginning.

"Linglong, do you feel that the Demon Cult this time is a little different from the past?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a deep voice.

Ye Linglong was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled the previous battle, and it seemed that something was indeed strange. "You mean, they seem to be... more organized?"

Gu Jiuchen nodded, his doubts deepening. Although the demonic sects in the past were ruthless in their actions, most of them fought independently and had no rules at all. But this time, they looked like a well-trained army, with tacit cooperation and well-controlled offense and defense. There must be someone guiding them from behind.

"Brother Jiuchen, what are you worried about?" Ye Linglong noticed Gu Jiuchen's serious expression and couldn't help but feel worried.

"I'm worried that there is a bigger conspiracy behind the demon sect." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, "We can't sit still and wait for death. We must find out the truth as soon as possible in order to find a countermeasure."

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures came with swords and landed in front of them. It was none other than Master Xuanfeng and Taoist Master Xuanyu.

"Master, uncle." Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong quickly stepped forward to salute.

"No need to be polite." Master Xuanfeng waved his hand with a solemn expression, "Jiuchen, your analysis is correct. This time the demon sect has made a comeback.

No accident. According to what I have learned about the Demon Cult over the years, there seems to be a mysterious force within them that is secretly controlling everything. "

"Mysterious power?" Gu Jiuchen's heart moved. Could it be the man in black?

Taoist Master Xuan Yu continued: "This force acts in secret. We are still unable to determine their identity and purpose. But what is certain is that their strength cannot be underestimated."

"Then how should we respond?" Ye Linglong asked.

"Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle." Master Xuanfeng said solemnly, "We must find out the details of this mysterious force as soon as possible in order to find a way to crack it."

"Master, I would like to go to the Demon Sect to lurk and find out information." Gu Jiuchen volunteered.

"No!" Master Xuanfeng flatly refused, "The Demon Cult has many tricks and tricks. It is too dangerous for you to take risks alone!"

"Master, I..."

"Brother Jiuchen, calm down!" Ye Linglong grabbed Gu Jiuchen's sleeve and looked at him worriedly, "We still have time and can discuss it in the long run."

Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse in his heart. He knew that Master and Linglong were doing it for his own good.

"Perhaps, we should change our thinking." Taoist Master Xuan Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "We have always focused on military confrontation, but we have ignored the human heart."

"People's hearts?" Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other.

"Yes, people's hearts." Taoist Priest Xuan Yu's eyes were profound. "The reason why demon religions can confuse people's hearts is precisely because they take advantage of negative emotions such as greed, resentment, fear, etc. in people's hearts. If we can resolve these negative emotions, we can fundamentally Disintegrate the foundation of the demonic religion.”

mysterious

Daochang Yu's words made Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong fall into deep thought. Perhaps, this is the key to solving the problem.

In the distance, the bright moon looked at the glimmering light in the valley, praying silently in her heart: I hope they can find the right path and overcome all darkness.

Mingyue looked at the light in the valley from a distance, with mixed feelings in her heart. Gu Jiuchen, Ye Linglong, Master Xuanfeng and Taoist Master Xuanyu, they are all the mainstays of the righteous path, but at this moment they are lost in thought due to successive setbacks. Mingyue knew that they needed not only encouragement, but also a new direction.

She jumped lightly and came to the crowd with a gentle smile on her face. "Everyone, I have some ideas. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

"Mingyue, you're here." Ye Linglong saw Mingyue and seemed to see the backbone, and quickly pulled her to sit down. "You have always been thoughtful, please tell me your opinion."

Mingyue looked around at everyone and said slowly: "I understand everyone's desire to improve their strength and find out the truth as soon as possible. But I think, apart from confrontation with force, have we overlooked something?"

"What have we overlooked?" Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly. Mingyue's words reminded him of the "human heart" mentioned by Taoist Xuan Yu before.

"It's the power of emotion." Mingyue said firmly, "The reason why demon religions can confuse people's hearts is because they capture the desires and fears in people's hearts. But we often ignore the power of emotions."

"The power of emotion?" Ye Linglong murmured to herself, thinking of the people who were bewitched by the Demonic Cult. Some of them longed for power, some longed for wealth, and some were blinded by hatred.

"Ming Yue said it

right. "Taoist Master Xuan Yu nodded in agreement, "We only saw how powerful the Demon Sect was, but we ignored why they were so powerful. They thrive by exploiting the weaknesses of human nature. "

"Then how should we use the power of emotion?" Gu Jiuchen asked.

"We can start from two aspects." Mingyue's eyes flashed with wisdom. "On the one hand, we must unite all forces that can be united, including those people who have been deceived by the Demon Cult. We must let them understand the promise of the Demon Cult. They are all false, and only the right path can bring them true peace and tranquility.”

"On the other hand, we need to have a deeper understanding of the Demonic Cult and understand their motives and weaknesses." Mingyue paused and continued, "The Demonic Cult is not monolithic. They also have their own contradictions and differences. Perhaps, we can learn from this aspect Start and find a breakthrough.”
