Chapter 885 Seems to Be a Breakthrough

"Thank you, Master!" Ye Linglong and Gu Jiuchen said in unison.

"There is no time to lose, you should leave immediately." Xuanfeng Zhenren said, "Remember, you must find the artifact before the demon cult and stop their conspiracy!"

"Yes!"

In this way, under the guidance of Xuanfeng Zhenren, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, together with Xuan Yu and Mingyue, set out on a journey to the Misty Forest to find the ancient artifact.

The depths of the Misty Forest are shrouded in a layer of misty fog all year round, and the sun is difficult to penetrate, which looks gloomy and terrifying. Various strange plants grow twistedly, and vines are entangled like snakes. From time to time, there are several strange beast roars, which are creepy.

Gu Jiuchen holds a long sword, and the sword emits a faint golden light, which dispels the surrounding fog a little. He has a cold expression and a sharp gaze, always alert to the movements around him. Ye Linglong followed closely behind, holding a short dagger, with a light figure, and shuttles freely in the dense jungle.

"Be careful!" Gu Jiuchen shouted, swinging his sword to cut off a giant python that attacked from the top of his head. The giant python screamed in pain, twisting its huge body and knocking the surrounding trees to the ground.

"That was close!" Ye Linglong patted her chest, still in shock, "This Misty Forest is really as famous as it is, and there are dangers everywhere."

"We must find the ancient ruins as soon as possible," said Gu Jiuchen, "The Demon Cult may have sent someone here."

Following the clues provided by Xuanfeng Zhenren, they cut through the thorns and finally found the ancient ruins in a valley. At the entrance of the ruins, two huge stone statues stood majestically, each holding a stone sword in their hands, with the tip of the sword pointing straight to the sky, as if guarding something.

"This should be it." Gu Jiuchen said, "But it may not be so easy to enter the ruins."

As soon as the voice fell, the two stone statues suddenly moved, waving the stone swords in their hands and attacking Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong. Although the stone statue was just a dead object, it was extremely powerful and extremely fast. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong did not dare to confront it head-on, and could only dodge it.

"It seems that brute force alone is not enough to pass the test." Ye Linglong dodged the stone statue's attack while observing the surrounding environment.

"Look," she pointed to the wall behind the stone statue and said, "It seems that there is something engraved there."

Gu Jiuchen looked in the direction Ye Linglong pointed, and saw some ancient words engraved on the wall. These words were obscure, but he could vaguely feel that there was a powerful force contained in them.

"These words..." Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment, "It seems to be a formation."

"Formation?" Ye Linglong's eyes lit up, "You mean, as long as we crack this formation, we can pass the test?"

"Yes," Gu Jiuchen nodded, "but this formation is very complicated, it may take some time to crack it."

So, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong began to carefully study the words on the wall. They played their respective advantages and cooperated with each other. Finally, after some efforts, they found a way to crack the formation.

As the formation was activated, the two stone statues stopped attacking and slowly retreated to the side, revealing the entrance to the ruins. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other and saw joy and expectation in each other's eyes.

However, just as they were about to enter the ruins, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing here?" The man was dressed in black and had a silver mask on his face. His face could not be seen clearly, but from his cold voice, one could feel his strength and danger.

"Who are you?" Gu Jiuchen asked vigilantly, "Why are you stopping us?"

"It doesn't matter who I am," the man in black said coldly, "What's important is that you can't enter here."

"We must go in," Ye Linglong said, "This is related to the safety of the people of the world, we can't retreat."

"The people of the world?" The man in black laughed as if he had heard a joke, "It's ridiculous, who do you think you are? Why do you say you want to protect the people of the world?"

"We..." Ye Linglong wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Gu Jiuchen.

"No point in talking," Gu Jiuchen drew out his sword and pointed it at the man in black. "If you want to stop us, you have to get past me first!"

A big battle was about to break out...

Just when Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong had finally obtained the artifact from the ruins after going through so much hardship and were ready to return to the Righteous Alliance to use the artifact against the remnants of the Demon Cult, an unexpected person appeared in front of them.

He turned out to be the missing anonymous letter sender, and his true identity shocked everyone...

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stepped out of the ruins, and the warm sunshine sprinkled on their bodies, dispelling the coldness of the misty forest. The artifacts in their hands emitted a faint light, as if foreshadowing the upcoming victory of the righteous path.

"We succeeded!" Ye Linglong looked at Gu Jiuchen excitedly, with a gleam of joy in her eyes.

Gu Jiuchen nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but then he returned to his usual coldness.

"Don't take it lightly. As long as the remnants of the evil sect are not eliminated, the world will never be at peace."

They were about to leave and return to the Righteous Alliance, when suddenly, an old voice sounded in their ears: "Congratulations to the two young heroes for successfully obtaining the artifact."

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were startled. They turned around and saw an old man with white hair wearing coarse linen clothes appearing behind them at some point. Although the old man seemed ordinary, Gu Jiuchen felt an unfathomable power from him, and he was obviously a reclusive expert.

"Who is the senior?" Gu Jiuchen asked cautiously.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I am just a person who travels all over the world, not worth mentioning. But it is rare for two young heroes to have such cultivation at such a young age. I wonder who they can learn from?"

Gu Jiuchen reported the names of the Tianxian Sect and his master. After hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed with admiration.

"It turns out that he is a disciple of Master Tian Yan. No wonder he is so outstanding." The old man paused and his tone became serious. "The two young heroes have obtained the artifact this time and their merits are immeasurable. However, I would like to remind you, be careful of those around you. There are some Things are not as simple as they seem.”

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were shocked in their hearts, and when they were about to ask questions, the old man turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.

"What does he mean?" Ye Linglong frowned, "What does it mean to be careful of those around you?"

Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe he is referring to the anonymous letter."

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of them.

"It's you!" Ye Linglong exclaimed.

The person who came was the mysterious messenger who had been delivering messages to them all this time! He was dressed in black and had a silver mask on his face. His face could not be seen clearly, but from his upright posture and sharp eyes, you could feel the powerful aura exuding from him.
