Chapter 859 Starting Over

The dawn of dawn has not completely dispelled the darkness of night, but a group of people have already gathered at the Tianxian Sect's martial arts field. They all have solemn expressions, firm eyes, and fierce sword intent exuding from their bodies. These people are the mainstay of the righteous path, and each one of them is a strong man who has experienced hundreds of battles.

Gu Jiuchen, dressed in white Shengxue, stood in front of everyone, his cold eyes swept over everyone's face, and said solemnly: "Everyone, the demon sect is poisoning the common people, and now it is getting worse. We, the righteous people, must eradicate them completely!"

His voice was not loud, but it reverberated in everyone's ears like a loud bell, arousing the raging fighting spirit in their hearts.

"In this operation, we have mastered the key weaknesses of the Demon Cult headquarters and a secret passage leading to its interior." Gu Jiuchen paused and continued, "We will be divided into three groups. The first group will be led by Elder Xuanfeng. Responsible for attracting the main force of the Demon Cult and buying us time."

Elder Xuanfeng nodded, his old face full of determination.

"The second group is led by Elder Xuan Yu, who is responsible for sneaking in through the secret passage and destroying the Demon Cult's defensive formation." Gu Jiuchen continued the arrangements, "And I will lead the third group and attack Huanglong directly. The target is the Demon Cult's leader! "

"Brother Jiuchen, I want to go too!" Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, and Ye Linglong walked out of the crowd, her beautiful eyes shining with determination.

Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly. He knew that this operation was extremely dangerous. Although Ye Linglong was not weak in cultivation, she still had little experience and he did not want her to be in danger.

"Linglong, be obedient, this operation is too dangerous, you stay in the sect." There was a hint of pleading in Gu Jiuchen's tone.

"No, Jiuchen

Brother, I can't just watch you take risks while I hide behind! "Ye Linglong's tone was firm, without any intention of giving in, "I've been practicing martial arts with you since I was a child, isn't it just to be able to fight alongside you? "

Looking at Ye Linglong's firm eyes, Gu Jiuchen's heart softened. He knew that he could not change her decision.

"Okay, I promise you." Gu Jiuchen finally compromised, "But you must promise me that everything must follow my arrangements and you cannot act without authorization."

"Yeah, I promise!" Ye Linglong nodded happily, with a bright smile on her face.

Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, turned his gaze to everyone, and said in a deep voice: "In this operation, we are determined to die, but we must also believe that we will win in the end! Let's set out for the right path and for the common people!"

"For the righteous way! For the common people!" Everyone shouted in unison, the sound was deafening and resounded through the sky.

They knew that this would be a life-and-death battle, but there was no fear in their hearts, only unswerving faith. Because they believe that light will eventually defeat darkness and justice will be upheld!

The Tianxian Sect's team set off in the morning light, heading towards the Demon Sect's headquarters. Their backs, illuminated by the morning sun, looked particularly tall, as if they were the incarnation of hope, illuminating the land shrouded in darkness.

Elder Xuanfeng nodded, his old face full of determination. He took the map handed over by Gu Jiuchen and studied the marks on it carefully, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes raising his head to discuss in low voices with the elders around him. After a moment, he closed the map and turned

Facing the disciples behind him, there was an unquestionable majesty in his loud voice: "This mission is a heavy responsibility, we need to be extremely cautious! I divided the team into five groups, each led by..."

Elder Xuanfeng's voice echoed in the martial arts field. He assigned each group's tasks in detail, from route selection to attract the enemy's attention to signal communication during retreat. Everything was meticulously arranged. The disciples listened attentively, for fear of missing any detail.

"Mingyue, you stay behind and are responsible for contact and support." Elder Xuanfeng's eyes fell on a graceful woman in the crowd, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Mingyue is Ye Linglong's close friend. She is gentle and kind-hearted, proficient in medical skills and formations, and has played an important role in all battles.

After hearing Elder Xuanfeng's arrangement, Mingyue was slightly startled, then nodded and said softly: "Don't worry, elder, I will do my best to provide logistical support to ensure everyone returns safely."

Although she felt a little reluctant to give up, she understood that everyone had their own battlefield, and it was equally important to stay behind.

Ye Linglong walked to Mingyue, held her hand, and said softly: "Mingyue, you have to be careful, we are waiting for your triumphant return ahead."

"Well, you should be careful too." Mingyue held Ye Linglong's hand, her eyes full of worry and blessing.

Seeing Elder Xuanfeng leading the first group of people to set off, Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, turned his gaze to the remaining people, and said in a deep voice: "Second group, follow me!"

He led the main force and quietly sneaked into the core area of ​​the Demon Cult along the secret passage, waiting for

What awaits them will be a more brutal battle...

In the dark and narrow passage, Gu Jiuchen led the second group of people and advanced quietly.

On the walls on both sides of the passage, dim oil lamps were lit at regular intervals, making their shadows grow longer and shorter. There was a damp and rotten smell in the air, which made people feel particularly depressing.

"Everyone, be careful and stay vigilant!" Gu Jiuchen lowered his voice and reminded the people behind him. His eyes scanned the surroundings sharply, not daring to miss any abnormalities.

"Don't worry, Brother Gu, we are all ready." Ye Linglong clenched the sword in her hand and said softly.

Her beautiful eyes shone brightly in the dim light, as dazzling as stars in the dark night.

As they moved forward, they encountered some forks in the road from time to time, but Gu Jiuchen saw through them one by one and did not go in the wrong direction.

"It seems that the Demon Sect has put a lot of effort into protecting this secret passage." A disciple of the Tianxian Sect sighed.

"Hmph, even if they use all their tricks, they can't escape today's fate!" Another disciple clenched his fists, with angry flames flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the front, getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Someone is coming, everyone take cover!" Gu Jiuchen shouted in a low voice.

Everyone quickly ducked and hid in the depressions on both sides of the passage, holding their breath and remaining motionless.

A moment later, a five-person Demon Cult patrol appeared in their sights.

"Strange, why does something feel wrong?" One of the Demon Cult disciples stopped and looked around cautiously.

"What's there

Something wrong? Don't scare yourself, just leave quickly, you have to go back to sleep after the patrol. Another Demon Cult disciple said impatiently.

"But……"

The doubtful Demon Cult disciple wanted to say something more, but his companion grabbed him and urged him to continue moving forward.

"What a false alarm..."

Ye Linglong looked at the demon sect patrol going away and whispered. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Jiuchen covered her mouth.

"Shh, don't talk, and more!" Gu Jiuchen stared straight ahead, his face serious.

Sure enough, not long after the five-man patrol passed by, another ten-man patrol appeared in their sight.

This time, Gu Jiuchen did not choose to avoid, but made a decisive decision.

"Linglong, use the incense to win the battle quickly!"

Ye Linglong understood it, took out a sachet from her arms, squeezed it gently, and a light pink smoke instantly filled the air.

Before those demon sect disciples could realize what had happened, they fell to the ground unconscious.

Gu Jiuchen led the crowd to quickly deal with these demon sect disciples and continue to move forward.

However, they didn't know that a bigger crisis was waiting for them ahead...

Just as they were about to approach the Demon Cult headquarters, they suddenly encountered a powerful Demon Cult guard, and a fierce battle was about to break out!

At the end of the dark passage, a trace of blood-colored light came out, reflecting Gu Jiuchen's stern face. He clenched the sword in his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure appeared at the end of the passage, with demonic energy rolling and murderous intent. Headed by one person, body

Wearing heavy black armor, holding a giant axe, and exuding suffocating pressure.

"Gu Jiuchen, you are finally willing to come out!" The demon general laughed ferociously, sounding like a bell, "Today is the day you die!"

Gu Jiuchen's expression remained unchanged and he said coldly: "Is it just you clowns?"

After saying that, he flashed and turned into a sword light, which went straight for the demon general's head. Ye Linglong followed closely behind, the long sword in his hand dancing like the wind, and the sword energy flowing horizontally, forcing the oncoming demon sect disciples back.

"Linglong, Mixiang!" Gu Jiuchen took the time to remind him after fighting with the demon general.

Ye Linglong understood, took out a few sachets from her arms, and threw them hard towards where the Demon Cult guards gathered. The sachet exploded, and pink smoke instantly filled the air. However, to everyone's surprise, those demon sect disciples did not faint after inhaling the incense, but instead attacked even more crazily.

"No, they were already on guard!" Ye Linglong's expression changed.

Gu Jiuchen and the demon sect exchanged a palm strike, used the strength to retreat, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the demon sect has seen through our plan. I'm afraid today's battle will not be easy."

At this moment, there was a commotion deep in the passage, and a cold voice sounded: "Gu Jiuchen, do you think you can break through our Demon Cult's main altar with just you? Today, I will make sure you never come back!"

Everyone was startled, and when they looked up, they saw a figure wearing a black robe and a mask walking out slowly, with a terrifying aura of evil surrounding him.

"Who are you?" Gu Jiuchen's eyes narrowed.

"I am the protector of the Demon Cult, Heisha!" The man in black robe said in a cold voice, with a hint of joking, "Today will be your burial place!"
