Chapter 883 Big Obstacle

Seeing this ring finger, Ye Linglong's pupils shrank slightly, and her heart was filled with turmoil. She was very familiar with this ring. It was a token belonging to the leader of the Righteous Alliance - Master Xuanfeng! Could it be that the mysterious messenger in front of me was sent by Master Xuanfeng?

"This is the alliance leader's token. Seeing this is like seeing the alliance leader himself." The messenger's deep voice came from under the brim of the hat. "The content of the letter is of great importance. Please stand aside, Sect Leader Gu."

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong exchanged a look. Although they were confused, they still did as they were told. He waved his hand to signal the disciples in the hall to retreat. After everyone left, Gu Jiuchen slowly spoke: "Now you can tell me, who are you? What do you want to tell me?"

The messenger was silent for a moment, then slowly took off the hat on his head, revealing a delicate and handsome face. He is none other than Xuan Yu, the great disciple of Master Xuan Feng.

"Xuan Yu? How could it be you?" Ye Linglong exclaimed, "Aren't you been practicing in seclusion?"

Xuan Yu smiled bitterly and explained: "Master has been observing the sky at night recently and found strange movements in the demonic energy. He was worried that the remnants of the demonic sect would come back, so he ordered me to investigate secretly. According to the instructions of the master, I found some clues about the demonic sect. , but this matter is too important, I dare not disclose it easily, so I can only come to see Sect Leader Gu in person."

Saying that, Xuan Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gu Jiuchen: "This is a secret letter I wrote overnight. Please ask Sect Leader Gu to read it."

Gu Jiuchen took the letter and read it carefully. The letter recorded in detail the information Xuan Yu had investigated these days, including the hiding places and plans of the demon sect's remnants, as well as information about some important figures.

After reading the letter, Gu Jiuchen's face was solemn and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He knew that the emergence of the messenger might be the key to reversing the situation, but it might also be a huge trap. He must act cautiously to ensure the safety of the Righteous Alliance.

"I will seriously consider the news you brought." Gu Jiuchen put the letter in his arms and said in a deep tone, "This matter is of great importance. I also ask fellow Taoist Xuan Yu to stay in our Tianxian Sect for the time being. After I verify it, I will Make a decision.”

Xuan Yu nodded, expressing understanding. He knew that Gu Jiuchen acted cautiously and would not trust anyone easily, let alone at this sensitive moment. He believed that as long as Gu Jiuchen was willing to believe in him, he would be able to crush the devil's sect's conspiracy and protect the peace of the right path.

Gu Jiuchen read the letter repeatedly, frowning, and the handwriting in the letter was scrawled, but he could not hide the fear and anxiety revealed in it. The messenger claimed to be an undercover agent lurking within the remnants of the Demon Cult, and risked his life to send out the information. The letter mentioned that the leader of the remnants of the Demon Sect has practiced an extremely evil technique, and his strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Now he is secretly gathering the remaining members to prepare for a thunderous strike against the Righteous Alliance.

"The target of the remnants of the demon sect is the alliance headquarters?" Ye Linglong looked at Gu Jiuchen's expression from the side, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Gu Jiuchen nodded and handed the letter to her: "The letter said that the leader of the remaining demon sect believes that as long as the alliance headquarters is destroyed, the righteous will to resist will be completely destroyed, and then the demon sect can make a comeback and dominate the world."

Ye Linglong took the letter and browsed it quickly, her pretty face became serious. "This news is too sudden. We must inform Senior Xuanfeng as soon as possible and take precautions."

Gu Jiuchen stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Without further delay, let's go see Senior Xuanfeng now."

The three people hurried to the meeting hall and informed Xuanfeng of the information brought by the messenger. After listening to Gu Jiuchen's story, Xuanfeng's face turned pale, and the teacup in his hand was crushed to pieces.

"What a remnant of the Demon Sect, how dare you think of making a comeback!" Xuanfeng shouted angrily, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall.

"Senior Xuanfeng, calm down," Gu Jiuchen consoled him. "The most urgent task is to strengthen defenses against the attacks from the remnants of the Demon Sect."

Xuanfeng took a deep breath, tried hard to calm down the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Jiuchen is right, we cannot mess up our position. Pass my order to immediately strengthen the defense of the alliance headquarters, and all disciples will enter a state of combat readiness and be ready at any time. Meet the enemy!"

"yes!"

"In addition," Xuan Feng looked at Xuan Yu who was standing aside, "you should return to the master's gate quickly and report this matter to your master and ask him to make a decision."

"Disciple, obey!" Xuan Yu accepted the order, turned around and left in a hurry.

Looking at Xuan Yu's leaving figure, Gu Jiuchen's heart was still full of worry. The remnants of the Demonic Cult are coming fiercely. Can the Righteous Alliance really resist their attack?

In the meeting hall, the solemn atmosphere was like a thick fog that could not be dissolved, making everyone breathless. Gu Jiuchen understood that strengthening defense alone was not enough. The remnants of the Demon Sect chose to take action at this time, so they must be well prepared. If their plan could not be disrupted in advance, the Righteous Alliance would fall into a passive position.

"Senior Xuanfeng," Gu Jiuchen took a step forward and said with cupped hands, "I request to lead a team of elite disciples to go deep into the lair of the remnants of the Demon Sect, investigate the truth, and try to disrupt their plans before they take action."

Ye Linglong also stood up and said firmly: "I want to go too!"

Xuanfeng frowned. He knew that going there was extremely dangerous, but Gu Jiuchen's proposal was undoubtedly the best choice at the moment. He pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, Jiuchen, Linglong, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, your own safety is the most important thing. If something cannot be done, don't force it."

"Yes!" Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong took the order and quickly assembled an elite team to prepare for departure. In the team, Mingyue insisted on going with Ye Linglong. She was worried about her best friend and insisted on going forward and backward with her.

As the night enveloped the earth, Gu Jiuchen and his party quietly left the alliance headquarters and headed towards the nest of the remnants of the demon cult. The information provided by the messenger was very detailed, not only marking the specific location of the nest, but also drawing a route map.

However, when they arrived at the location marked on the map, they found that it was just a barren valley without any trace of human habitation.

"How could this happen?" Mingyue looked around, puzzled, "Did the messenger deliberately provide false information?"

"No, it's impossible," Ye Linglong shook her head, "The messenger risked his life to pass the news, he would never deceive us."

Gu Jiuchen squatted down, carefully observed the traces on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Someone has indeed been here, and there are quite a few of them, they should be the remnants of the Demon Cult."

He stood up, pointed to a dense forest in front, and said: "They should be hiding in the forest, let's move forward carefully."

Everyone held their breath and followed Gu Jiuchen carefully into the depths of the dense forest. The forest was gloomy and terrifying, with miasma everywhere and swaying shadows of trees, as if there were countless unknown dangers lurking.

Suddenly, a burst of air-breaking sound came, and dozens of sharp arrows shot out from the depths of the dense forest, heading straight for everyone. Gu Jiuchen was prepared. He swung his sword to shoot down all the arrows, and shouted, "There is an ambush!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black rushed out of the dense forest and surrounded Gu Jiuchen and others.

"Kill!"

The masked man who led the men in black gave an order, and the crowd rushed to Gu Jiuchen and others like a tide. A fierce battle was about to break out...

The men in black came like a tide, and the swords and shadows intertwined into a net of death, covering Gu Jiuchen and others. Gu Jiuchen's sword energy was crisscrossed, and every move was extremely sharp. In an instant, several men in black fell under his sword. Ye Linglong was light and agile like a swallow. The long whip in her hand flew like a spirit snake, repelling the approaching men in black one by one.

However, there were many men in black, and they were all masters. Although Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were strong, they gradually felt a little tired in the face of such a fierce attack. During the battle, Ye Linglong was accidentally scratched on the arm by a man in black, and blood immediately stained her sleeves red.

"Linglong!" Seeing this, Gu Jiuchen's heart tightened, and he quickly waved his sword to force back the black-clad men who besieged Ye Linglong and protected her behind him.

Gu Jiuchen's attention was all on Ye Linglong, revealing a flaw. A man in black seized the opportunity and waved a sharp blade to stab him in the back.

"Be careful!" Ye Linglong exclaimed and wanted to step forward to rescue, but was entangled by other men in black and could not get away.

At the critical moment, a white shadow flashed by, and Mingyue waved a long sword to block the fatal blow of the man in black. Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yu also led a team of people to rush and joined the battle.

"Brother Gu, Linglong, we are late!" Xuan Yu said while resisting the attack of the man in black.

"Just in time!" Gu Jiuchen's pressure suddenly decreased, and his sword became more fierce, forcing back the black-clad men who besieged him.

With the addition of Xuan Yu and others, the battle situation was reversed instantly. Under the strong attack of the Righteous Alliance, the black-clothed men retreated step by step and were finally wiped out.

Gu Jiuchen didn't care about anything else and hurried to check Ye Linglong's injuries. Although Ye Linglong's injuries were not light, fortunately, her muscles and bones were not injured. After applying the golden wound medicine, she was fine.

"It's all my fault. I have implicated you." Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's pale face and blamed himself.

"Don't blame you. It's my own carelessness." Ye Linglong shook her head and forced a smile, "Look, I'm fine now, aren't I?"

Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's pretending to be strong, and felt even more distressed. He held her hand and whispered, "I will be more careful in the future and will never let you get hurt again."

Ye Linglong looked at Gu Jiuchen's worried expression, and her heart warmed. She held his hand and nodded gently.
