Chapter 867 Reflection

Despair spread in the hearts of the righteous disciples, and they already had a premonition that a tragic defeat was coming.

However, at this critical moment, Gu Jiuchen, who was lying on the bed, suddenly let out a muffled groan. His closed eyes trembled slightly, as if he was experiencing some painful struggle.

"Sect Master!" Mingyue, who was guarding the bedside, shouted in surprise, but soon, a worried look appeared on her face.

Gu Jiuchen's breathing became more and more rapid, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body was shaking violently, as if he was suffering from great pain.

"Jiuchen, what's wrong with you?" Mingyue asked anxiously, but she knew that Gu Jiuchen couldn't answer her at all now.

At this moment, an ancient and mysterious voice suddenly sounded in Gu Jiuchen's mind, like a call from ancient times, with an irresistible magic power.

"Find it...find true power..."

This voice echoed in Gu Jiuchen's mind over and over again, as if guiding him to find something, the power that could save the right path and turn things around.

Gu Jiuchen suddenly opened his eyes, which were full of bloodshot eyes, but the confusion and weakness in his eyes were swept away, replaced by an unprecedented firmness and determination.

He struggled to sit up and said weakly to Mingyue: "I'm fine... I have to find something..."

After that, he staggered out of the room, regardless of Mingyue's obstruction, and walked in an unknown direction, leaving only a back full of unknowns and suspense.

When Gu Jiuchen woke up, he felt a splitting headache and his vision was blurry. He struggled to sit up and looked around,

He found himself in a simple wooden house.

"Are you awake?" Mingyue held a bowl of medicine and looked at him worriedly, "How do you feel?"

Gu Jiuchen took the medicine and drank it in one gulp. The bitter taste made him frown slightly. "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been three days," Mingyue sighed. "You suddenly fainted, which scared us. Fortunately, you were fine, otherwise..."

Mingyue didn't say anything further, but Gu Jiuchen understood what she meant. Righteousness is now in turmoil, and as the mainstay, he must not fall.

"How is the situation at the Demon Sect?" Gu Jiuchen asked, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice.

"It's not optimistic," Mingyue's expression darkened, "The demon sect's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, and we have suffered heavy losses. Brother Xuanyu and senior Xuanfeng are struggling to support it, but..."

Gu Jiuchen closed his eyes and recalled the ancient and mysterious voice in his mind: Find it...find the real power...

"I need to find it," Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, "That's our last hope."

"What did you find?" Mingyue asked puzzledly.

Gu Jiuchen shook his head and did not explain. He just got up and got dressed and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Mingyue asked hurriedly, "You haven't recovered yet, so you can't run around."

"I have to go," Gu Jiuchen's tone was firm and decisive, "This is my only hope and the last hope of Zhengdao."

After that, he opened the door and walked out without looking back, leaving Mingyue alone in the wooden house, full of worry and uneasiness.

Gu Jiuchen's eyes were filled with fog. He didn't know where he should go, but the voice in his heart guided him step by step.

Go forward.

Mingyue looked at Gu Jiuchen's back disappearing into the mist, and felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. She understood that Gu Jiuchen shouldered the hope of the entire righteous path, but now he was also seriously injured. What could he do alone? She clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind to find him and fight alongside him no matter what.

At the same time, Ye Linglong struggled in a coma. In a daze, she seemed to hear someone calling her name. She tried to open her eyes, and what she saw was an unfamiliar environment. She struggled to sit up, looked around, and found herself in a simple cave.

"Where am I?" Ye Linglong held her groggy head and tried to remember what happened before. She remembered that she was injured by demons from the Demon Cult and then lost consciousness.

"Linglong, you're awake!" A familiar voice came. Ye Linglong looked up and saw Mingyue looking at her anxiously.

"Mingyue, why are you here? Where is Gu Jiuchen?" Ye Linglong asked eagerly. She remembered that it was Gu Jiuchen who desperately rescued her before she fell into coma.

Upon hearing Gu Jiuchen's name, Mingyue's face suddenly darkened. "He...he went to find the hope he said he had."

"What hope? Where has he gone?" An uneasy premonition arose in Ye Linglong's heart.

Mingyue shook her head, "He didn't say anything, he just said this is our last hope."

Ye Linglong was extremely anxious. She struggled to get up, but Mingyue held her back, "You are still very weak now and need a good rest."

"No, I have to find him!" Ye Linglong pushed Mingyue away and stood up staggeringly.

Walk out of the cave.

"Linglong, don't be impulsive!" Mingyue quickly chased after her.

On the other side, Xuanfeng summoned all the heads and elders of the righteous sects and held an emergency meeting. The atmosphere of the meeting was very solemn, and everyone's faces were full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Everyone, the demon sect is now powerful and we are retreating steadily. The situation is extremely critical. I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Xuanfeng said with a heavy face.

"What other good ideas can you think of? Fight with them!" A hot-tempered elder shouted at the table.

"Fight? Why fight? The manpower we have now is not enough for the Demon Cult to fill its teeth!" another elder retorted.

"In my opinion, we should ask for help from other righteous sects and unite to fight against the Demon Sect!"

"To put it nicely, other sects cannot protect themselves, who will help us?"

For a time, the conference room was noisy, with various opinions arguing, but no one could really solve the problem. At this moment, Mingyue came up with a bold idea...

Mingyue took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and said loudly: "Seniors, I have an idea."

Everyone's eyes turned to her. Mingyue was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued: "Although the Demon Sect is powerful, it is not monolithic inside. Many disciples are coerced to join. We can use this to instigate more Demon Sect disciples, from Disintegrate the Demonic Cult from within!”

As soon as this statement came out, the conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other, obviously shocked by this bold idea.

"This... how is this possible? All the disciples of the Demon Sect are cruel and ruthless, how could they betray their own sect so easily?" A senior man said

Lao questioned.

Mingyue explained: "Not all disciples of the Demon Cult are heinous people. Many of them were forced to join the Demon Cult. We can send people to sneak into the Demon Cult and secretly contact those disciples who have good intentions. Promise huge profits to instigate them for our use."

"This is too risky! If exposed, wouldn't it be enough to alert the enemy?" Another elder said worriedly.

"This matter is indeed very risky," Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "But it is still a way. The Demon Sect is now very arrogant. If we don't take the initiative, we may be defeated by them one by one. Mingyue, please continue. , how to do it specifically?”

Mingyue had already prepared a draft and detailed her plan. She suggested that some disciples who were proficient in the art of disguise and concealment could be selected, and they could disguise themselves and sneak into the Demon Cult, observe in secret, look for those disciples who were dissatisfied or coerced, and then defeat them one by one and instigate them to rebel.

After hearing Mingyue's plan, Xuan Yu pondered for a moment and said: "It is important to rebel against the Demon Sect disciples, but we cannot ignore the improvement of our own strength.

The reason why the Demonic Cult is so rampant is because their overall strength is superior to ours. We must strengthen our own cultivation, cultivate more elite disciples, and improve our overall combat effectiveness in order to remain invincible in the confrontation with the Demon Sect. "

Everyone nodded in agreement. Xuan Yu's words touched their hearts. The reason why Zhengdao fell into its current situation was largely due to its own lack of strength.

Xuanfeng looked around the crowd and said solemnly: "Senior Brother Xuanyu is right. We can't put all our hopes into it."

All hopes are placed on instigating rebellion against the disciples of the Demon Cult. The top priority is to improve our own strength as soon as possible. Only when we are strong can we truly defeat the Demonic Cult! "

At this moment, an old man with white beard and hair quietly appeared outside the conference room. He listened quietly to everyone's discussion, with a wise light shining in his eyes. After the meeting, he walked straight to Ye Linglong, his tone gentle but unquestionable firmness, "Child, follow me, there are some things you need to know..."
