Mortal Cultivation: Beginning with a Monkey Falling From the Sky

Chapter 882 Small Obstacle

The hustle and bustle of the wedding banquet gradually dissipated, and Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked into the study hand in hand. The red candle flickered, reflecting the happy faces of the two people. Gu Jiuchen gently hugged Ye Linglong, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, but his heart was still haunted by that inexplicable uneasiness.

Ye Linglong noticed something strange about Gu Jiuchen and asked softly: "Jiuchen, what's wrong with you? Are you still worried about the Demon Sect?"

Gu Jiuchen shook his head and handed the anonymous letter to Ye Linglong, "Look."

Ye Linglong took the letter and read it carefully by candlelight. She saw that it was written in beautiful handwriting: "The remnants of the demon sect reappeared in the world on the night of the blood moon."

Her expression also changed slightly, "Who sent this? Could it be..."

"I don't know either." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, "But I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it doesn't exist. It seems that we are about to face a new challenge."

The next morning, Gu Jiuchen summoned the heads of the various factions of the Righteous Alliance to gather in the Tianxian Sect's meeting hall. As the leader of the righteous path, Master Xuanfeng sat in the main seat and glanced at everyone with a solemn expression.

"Everyone," Gu Jiuchen stood up and showed the anonymous letter in front of everyone, "I received this yesterday. What do you think?"

Once the contents of the letter were made public, there was an immediate commotion. Everyone was talking about it. Some people believed it, while others expressed doubts.

"Could this be a trick of the Demon Cult to deliberately disrupt our sight?" an old man in green clothes questioned.

"Yes," another middle-aged man agreed, "We have wiped out the demon sect for many years, how could it suddenly..."

"Don't take it lightly!" A burly middle-aged man stood up. He is the head of the Tianjian Sect and has always been known for his hatred of evil. "The Demon Cult is full of tricks and we must not let them have a chance to come back!"

For a time, the hall was divided into two groups, arguing, and the atmosphere was tense. Master Xuanfeng coughed lightly, signaling for everyone to quiet down, and then turned his gaze to Gu Jiuchen, "Jiuchen, what do you think?"

Gu Jiuchen looked calm and said in a firm tone: "I have discussed with Linglong. No matter whether this letter is true or false, we cannot take it lightly. I suggest that we strengthen the contact between the various factions and closely monitor the trends of the demon sect, just in case. one."

His proposal was approved by some people, but others were not convinced. Master Xuanfeng pondered for a moment, and finally said: "This matter is of great importance, and we need to consider it in the long term. Let's get here first today."

Everyone dispersed one after another, and Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked out of the hall side by side. Ye Linglong gently held Gu Jiuchen's hand and whispered: "Jiuchen, don't worry, I believe you."

Gu Jiuchen held her hand instead, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, Linglong, I will find out about this matter."

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was burning with fiery red clouds. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were walking in the garden, but their hearts were full of heaviness and uneasiness. They knew that a bigger storm was coming...

After the discussion, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong returned to their residences.

Ye Linglong caressed a pot of orchids on the windowsill and said quietly: "It seems that things are not simple this time. There seems to be problems within the Righteous Alliance."

Gu Jiuchen nodded, with a hint of solemnity in his brows, "People's hearts are unpredictable. During the chaos of the Demon Sect, all the factions suffered heavy losses. Now that they have finally recovered their strength, they naturally do not want to start another war."

"But, what if that letter is true? We can't sit still and wait for death, right?"

Ye Linglong frowned slightly, her worry evident in her words.

At this moment, two gentle knocks came from outside the door, and Ming Yue and Xuan Yu arrived hand in hand.

Mingyue has a lively personality and said with a smile as soon as she entered the door: "Brother Jiuchen, sister Linglong, here we come!"

Xuan Yu, on the other hand, was much calmer. He bowed his hands to the two of them and said, "I've met Sect Master Gu, and I've met Madam."

Ye Linglong quickly asked the two of them to sit down and asked with concern: "Why are you here? But what's the matter?"

Mingyue looked around and lowered her voice and said: "Brother Jiuchen, sister Linglong, we believe you, there must be something wrong with that letter! We are willing to try our best to help you find out the truth!"

Xuan Yu also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, people within the Righteous Alliance are panicking now. If the Demon Sect takes advantage of it again, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other, and a warm current surged in their hearts.

Gu Jiuchen patted Xuan Yu on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Thank you for your trust. I am planning to investigate this matter secretly, but in terms of manpower..."

"You don't have to worry about that!"

Mingyue took the lead and said confidently, "Brother Xuan Yu and I are both the best in our respective sects and are well-informed. Leave the matter of gathering information to us!"

Ye Linglong pondered for a moment and suggested: "In that case, we might as well divide our forces into two groups. Jiuchen and I will be responsible for investigating the source of the anonymous letter, while Mingyue and Xuan Yu will be responsible for detecting the traces of the remnants of the Demon Cult. How about that?"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Mingyue slammed the table excitedly, but Xuan Yu shook her head helplessly. This girl is still so frizzy.

After Mingyue and Xuan Yu left, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong began to discuss a specific action plan.

Ye Linglong tapped her fingers lightly on the table and analyzed: "The handwriting of the letter is beautiful, it doesn't seem to be from a man's hand, and there is a faint fragrance on the letter paper, which seems to be some kind of precious The fragrance of flowers…”

Gu Jiuchen carefully recalled every detail on the letterhead, trying to find clues.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, "I remember, the scent seems to be..."

However, he paused deliberately and did not tell the source of the fragrance. Instead, he looked at Ye Linglong and said mysteriously: "It seems that we have to visit an old friend..."

Ye Linglong nodded understandingly, her eyes shining with wisdom.

As night falls, the night shrouds the Tianxian Sect, concealing the coming undercurrent. What truth will be revealed by Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong's secret investigation? And what kind of storm will the remnants of the demon sect lurking in the dark set off?

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong decided to start by investigating the source of the anonymous letter. The scent on the letter was very familiar to him. It was the scent of heavenly fragrant cardamom. This spice was extremely precious and could only be cultivated by a few sects, and one of them was Baihua Valley, which had good relations with the Tianxian Sect.

It was dark at night, Gu Jiuchen summoned several close disciples and took them to the secret room. "This mission is of great importance, so you must be careful." Gu Jiuchen said in a solemn tone, "I have arranged for you to go to the place mentioned in the letter - Luoxia Valley. Remember not to alert the snake, just to find out whether there are demon sect activities. Just the signs.”

The disciples followed the order and left. Gu Jiuchen watched them leave, feeling uneasy in his heart. The terrain of Luoxia Valley is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Demon Cult really chooses to hide there, these disciples will be in trouble.

"Are you worried about them?" Ye Linglong walked to him and asked softly.

"Yes." Gu Jiuchen did not deny it, "They are all my carefully selected disciples. They are all extremely talented. If there is something wrong with them..."

"I believe they will return safely." Ye Linglong held his hand and gave him strength. "What we have to do now is to try our best to stabilize the situation within the alliance and prevent them from getting into trouble."

Gu Jiuchen nodded. Ye Linglong was right. People in the Righteous Alliance are now in panic. If they are fooled by the rumors of the Demon Cult again, the consequences will be disastrous. He must find out the truth as soon as possible and crush the devil's conspiracy.

In the next few days, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong acted separately, appeasing the heads of various factions while secretly investigating the source of the anonymous letter. However, the investigation reached a deadlock, and the sender of the anonymous letter seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

While everyone was anxiously waiting for the results of the Luoxia Valley investigation, a strange messenger suddenly appeared at the alliance headquarters. He wore a black cloak and a wide-brimmed hat, covering most of his face, only revealing his chiseled jaw and a pair of sharp eyes.

"I want to see Sect Master Gu Jiuchen." The messenger's tone was cold and left no room for doubt.

When the guarding disciples saw that he was not a good person, they did not dare to neglect him and immediately went in to report it. Not long after, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong appeared in the hall.

"Who are you? Why do you want to see me?" Gu Jiuchen looked at the stranger in front of him with burning eyes.

The messenger did not answer, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gu Jiuchen, "This is important information about the remnants of the Demon Cult. Only you can read it."

Gu Jiuchen took the letter and frowned. The appearance of the messenger is too strange. Is the news he brings true or false? Is it a timely help, or another trap?

In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Gu Jiuchen's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his gaze was like a torch as he scanned the messenger in front of him. The black cloak he wore seemed to be able to swallow up all light. The wide brim of the hat covered most of his face, leaving only his chiseled chin and a pair of sharp eyes, making it elusive.

"Who is your Excellency? Why are you here late at night?" Gu Jiuchen's tone was indifferent, but there was a hint of majesty.

The messenger did not answer immediately, but slowly raised his right hand, revealing a pale wrist. Between his well-jointed fingers, he held a black jade ring. The ring finger is engraved with a lifelike unicorn pattern, exuding a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
