Chapter 884 Seems to Be a Breakthrough

After everyone took a short rest, they decided to return to the alliance headquarters immediately. However, when they returned to the headquarters, they found that the messenger who was supposed to be waiting here had disappeared.

Gu Jiuchen found a letter in the room where the messenger had stayed. There is only one sentence in the letter:

"The real disaster has just begun."

This letter is like throwing a pebble into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves. Who is the sender of the anonymous letter? What is his purpose? Can Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong find him and uncover the truth behind it?

The alliance headquarters is solemn and solemn. In the past, it was filled with fairy spirit, but now it is shrouded in a lingering haze. Gu Jiuchen's face was solemn, and he was gently twisting the thin letter with his fingertips. The handwriting was scrawled, but it penetrated the back of the paper, as if it contained a biting chill.

"The real disaster has just begun..."

A short sentence, but like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard. Ye Linglong stood next to Gu Jiuchen, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her smart eyes were now covered with a layer of worry. The information brought by the messenger was shocking enough, but at this moment, it seemed that there was a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it.

"Did the messenger leave any other clues?" Master Xuanfeng asked in a deep voice. He was the leader of the Righteous Alliance, and he couldn't help but feel the seriousness of the situation at this moment.

Gu Jiuchen shook his head, "I have searched the room carefully, and there are no other clues except this letter."

"Is this a trap deliberately set by the remnants of the Demon Cult?" Mingyue asked worriedly. She held Ye Linglong's hand tightly, feeling full of uneasiness in her heart.

"We can't rule out this possibility." Xuan Yu pondered, "The remnants of the Demon Cult are very cunning. This incident may be just a cover for them to lure us into taking the bait."

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became more solemn. The identity of the sender is unknown, the purpose is a mystery, and only a warning message is left behind. This makes them feel like they are in a fog and cannot see the road ahead clearly.

Gu Jiuchen put the letter in his arms, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes, "No matter what, we must be fully prepared. Send the order, strengthen vigilance, and strictly investigate all suspicious people. We must not allow the conspiracy of the remnants of the Demon Cult to be allowed." Succeed!"

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all responded in unison: "Yes!"

However, at this moment, a powerful demonic energy suddenly came from a distance, and accompanied by deafening laughter, a figure wearing a black robe and a ferocious face slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"Hahaha, Gu Jiuchen, Ye Linglong, long time no see!" The man in black robe laughed wildly, his tone full of hatred and murderous intent, "Today is the day you die!"

This person was the leader of the remnants of the Demon Cult. His appearance instantly brought the already tense atmosphere to freezing point.

The wild laughter of the man in black echoed in the valley, and the cold demonic energy turned into a strong wind, making everyone's clothes rustle. Ye Linglong clenched the sword in her hand and met the black-robed man's malicious eyes with firm eyes. A battle was about to break out.

However, at this moment, an old and majestic voice suddenly came from the sky: "How dare you dare to be so bold here!"

Before he finished speaking, a golden light pierced the sky, and an old man wearing a white robe with white beard and hair appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. He has an immortal demeanor, holds a fly whisk in his hand, and has piercing eyes, as if he can see through everything in the world.

"Who are you?" The man in black robe was shocked. He felt the powerful aura emanating from the old man and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"I Xuanfeng." The old man said calmly, "You remnants of the Demon Sect, don't want to run rampant here!"

"Zhenren Xuanfeng?!" Everyone present was shocked. Zhenren Xuanfeng is the leader of the righteous path. He has great cultivation and high moral standards. They did not expect that he would appear here.

Master Xuanfeng ignored the astonishment of the black-robed man, but turned to Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, smiled and said: "Jiuchen, Linglong, you did a good job and passed my test."

"Test?" Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other, confused.

"That anonymous letter was sent by my order." Master Xuanfeng explained, "I want to see if you can remain calm and united in the face of unknown dangers. Now it seems that you have not allowed it. I’m disappointed.”

It turns out that all this was arranged by Master Xuanfeng! Everyone suddenly realized that the stone hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

"Master!" Ye Linglong quickly walked up to Master Xuanfeng and said coquettishly, "You really shocked us!"

Master Xuanfeng smiled and shook his head, and said: "The remnants of the Demon Sect have returned, so I have to act with caution." He turned to look at the man in black robe, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "Tell me, what will happen to you this time? What's the purpose?"

The man in black robe knew that it would be difficult to be kind today, so he simply broke his face and sneered: "Old man, stop minding your own business! It's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of our demon sect!"

"Stubborn!" Master Xuanfeng snorted coldly, waved his whisk, and a powerful force instantly knocked the black-robed man away.

"Today, I will catch all of you remnants of the Demon Sect in one fell swoop!" Master Xuanfeng said in a deep voice, his tone full of murderous intent.

However, at this moment, the man in black robe suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahaha, old man, do you think you will win? Our real purpose is not to deal with you little characters!"

"Oh?" Master Xuanfeng frowned slightly, "What other purpose do you have?"

"It's okay to tell you." The man in black robe sneered, "We are here this time to find a legendary artifact. With it, our demon sect will be invincible and subvert the right path!"

"Sacred weapon?" Master Xuanfeng was shocked. Could it be...

"Sacred weapon?" Master Xuanfeng was shocked. Could it be...

He did not continue speaking, but everyone could see the seriousness of the matter from his solemn expression.

"Hmph, you know you're scared, right?" The man in black robe laughed proudly, "Let me tell you, that artifact is right here..."

Just as he was about to reveal the whereabouts of the artifact, his expression suddenly changed, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, swayed, and finally fell to the ground helplessly.

"No, he committed suicide by taking poison!" Mingyue exclaimed.

Master Xuanfeng stepped forward, checked the black-robed man's breath, and shook his head: "He is dead. The clue is broken."

"Then what should we do now?" Ye Linglong asked anxiously, "We don't know what the artifact is, nor where it is, nor when the Demon Cult will act again."

"Don't worry, Linglong," Master Xuanfeng said comfortingly, "There is no perfect path. I believe that we will definitely find a way to stop the demon sect."

He raised his head and looked into the distance with a deep gaze: "I have traveled all over the world for many years, and I once saw a record of what the Demon Cult is looking for in an ancient book. It may be able to help you."

"What is it?" Gu Jiuchen asked.

"Legend has it that there was an immortal in ancient times who, in order to seal the entrance to the demon world, poured all his cultivation into a divine sword. This divine sword has the power to destroy the world. Once it falls into the hands of the demon sect, the consequences will be disastrous. "Master Xuanfeng said slowly, "The place where this divine sword is sealed is..."

He paused and turned his eyes to Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong: "It's in an ancient ruins deep in the misty forest."

"Misty forest?" Ye Linglong was shocked. It was a dangerous place that even many experienced hunters were afraid of. It was full of dangers and it was said that there were ancient ferocious beasts.

"Yes, it is extremely dangerous there, so you must be extremely careful." Master Xuanfeng looked solemn, "I will send Xuan Yu and Mingyue to go with you to help you."
