Chapter 890 Missed Opportunity

However, just as she was about to take action, a strong suction force came from the direction of Li Yunfei, pulling her over violently

"Linglong!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes were bloodshot, but he was powerless to stop Ye Linglong from being sucked away. The arrogant laughter of the Demon Lord Ye Tian echoed in his ears: "Gu Jiuchen, your woman will also become my sacrifice!"

Ye Linglong felt dizzy, and when she stabilized her body, she found that she was imprisoned in front of Li Yunfei. His red eyes stared at her, his eyes were full of pain and struggle.

"Linglong, go! Don't worry about me!" Li Yunfei's voice was intermittent, as if it came from the distant horizon.

"Brother Yunfei, hold on, we will save you!" Ye Linglong's tears burst out, she could feel that the violent power in Li Yunfei's body was eroding his will, she wanted to wake him up, but she didn't know where to start.

At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky, covering Ye Linglong and Li Yunfei. In the golden light, an old man with a fairy-like appearance slowly appeared. He held a whisk in his hand and his eyes were like lightning. It was the ancient fairy who had disappeared before.

"Fairy!" Taoist Xuanfeng was overjoyed, "You are finally back!"

The ancient fairy looked solemn and shook his head: "I am too late. This child has been deeply eroded by the devil's energy. I can't save him."

"What should we do?" Everyone was anxious.

The ancient fairy pondered for a moment and said: "At this point, we can only seal him and wake him up when we find a way to purify the devil's energy in the future."

After that, the ancient fairy made seals with his hands and muttered something. The golden light turned into a golden light ball, slowly extracting Li Yunfei's soul and sealing it in it. Li Yunfei's body fell weakly, his eyes gradually regained clarity, but he lost his spirit.

"Master" Li Yunfei called weakly, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

Gu Jiuchen stepped forward and helped him up, his eyes full of grief and self-blame: "Yunfei, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save you."

Li Yunfei smiled slightly, his breath gradually weakened: "Master, don't be sad, your disciple is unfilial"

After speaking, Li Yunfei tilted his head and completely lost his breath.

"Yunfei!" Ye Linglong was heartbroken, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

The ancient immortal handed the golden light ball to Gu Jiuchen and said: "This thing needs to be suppressed by the Linglong Tower, the treasure of the Tianxian Sect, to suppress the demonic energy. Remember not to be careless."

Gu Jiuchen solemnly took the light ball and nodded: "Junior understands."

The ancient immortal sighed deeply, and his figure gradually disappeared, "This disaster is just the beginning, the demon world is about to take action, you must be vigilant."

These words are still echoing in the valley, but the figure of the ancient immortal has disappeared. The Righteous Alliance won the battle, but everyone's heart is shrouded in a heavy shadow. The failure of the purification ceremony and the tragic ending of Li Yunfei made them deeply aware of the cruelty of this war.

After the war, Ye Linglong wandered in the ruins in frustration. The scene just now was still replaying in her mind, and Li Yunfei's last voice and smile were deeply engraved in her heart, making her heart break.

Suddenly, a touch of white in the ruins caught her attention. It was a white silk handkerchief embroidered with a lifelike white crane, which was embroidered by Ye Linglong for Li Yunfei personally.

On the white handkerchief

Ye Linglong picked it up with trembling hands. This is a letter from Li Yunfei. Ye Linglong picked up the silk handkerchief with trembling hands. It was the one she embroidered and gave to Li Yunfei. Under the silk handkerchief, there was also a letter.

She took a deep breath and slowly unfolded the letter paper, and Li Yunfei's familiar handwriting came into view. In the letter, he first expressed his gratitude to Gu Jiuchen for his many years of teaching, and thanked his master for training him from an unknown person to a talented disciple. He would never forget this kindness.

Then, he changed his pen and wrote about Ye Linglong. Between the lines, there was uncontrollable admiration and regret. He thanked Ye Linglong for her appearance, which brought color to his gray life and made him understand what heartbeat and love are. He knew that he was humble and unworthy of her who was as dazzling as a pearl, so he had always kept this feeling deep in his heart. Now he was cursed and his future was uncertain. He only hoped that he could turn into a breeze in the next life and guard her forever.

Finally, he faced his fate calmly and said that he was ready to sacrifice himself for the righteous path. He only hoped that Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong could be happy, and that the Tianxian Sect could win the final victory with his sacrifice.

After reading the letter, Ye Linglong had already burst into tears. She held the letter tightly, as if holding Li Yunfei's hand, feeling his last warmth. Gu Jiuchen stood beside her, looking at Li Yunfei's cold body, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew Li Yunfei's feelings for Ye Linglong, but he always pretended not to know, because he believed that Li Yunfei understood that Ye Linglong only had him in her heart.

"Linglong, this is not your fault." Gu Jiuchen gently hugged Ye Linglong's shoulders and comforted her softly, "Yunfei doesn't want to see you like this."

Ye Linglong raised her head, looked at Gu Jiuchen with tears in her eyes, and choked up: "But, if I could have discovered his abnormality earlier, if I could have stopped him, he wouldn't..."

"There is no if." Gu Jiuchen interrupted her, "We all have to look forward, Yunfei's sacrifice cannot be in vain, we must carry his hope and continue to fight."

Ye Linglong took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She solemnly put away Li Yunfei's letter, and her eyes gradually became firm: "You are right. We can't let Yunfei down for his sacrifice. I will definitely find a way to completely remove the forbidden technique from him and let him regain his freedom!"

Gu Jiuchen looked at her firm eyes, his heart full of pity and admiration. He gently wiped the tears from her face, hugged her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Let's work together."

The two of them sorted out their moods and prepared to leave this purification site full of sadness. However, just as they turned around, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears:

"Hehe, want to save him? You have no chance, the real crisis has just begun"

The voice was erratic, as if it came from all directions, making it impossible to capture the position of the person who spoke. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong immediately became alert. They looked around, but they didn't see any figures.

Who is this mysterious voice? What is the "real crisis" he mentioned?

Linglong is drunk, Jiuchen is broken

Chapter 79: Missed opportunity

Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly, and his whole body was cold, as if freezing the air around him. He protected Ye Linglong behind him and asked coldly: "Who is playing tricks there?"

"Hehe, Gu Jiuchen, you are still as vigilant as ever." The voice sounded again, with a bit of teasing, "But do you think you can protect her like this? You are wrong, from the beginning, you are doomed to fail!"

As soon as the voice fell, a black shadow appeared in the center of the purification site like a ghost. The black air rolled, the devilish energy was overwhelming, and the person who came was the leader of the demon cult!

"It's you!" Ye Linglong exclaimed, she recognized this evil breath, it was he who controlled Li Yunfei, and it was he who planned this catastrophe!

The Demon Cult leader smiled sinisterly, his eyes swept over Li Yunfei's body, with a hint of pride: "Yes, it was me. It's a pity that you are one step too late. The purification ceremony has been destroyed by me, and his soul will be forever in my control!"

"You are despicable!" Ye Linglong was furious. She never thought that the Demon Cult leader would appear at this time, let alone that he would destroy all their efforts so easily.

Gu Jiuchen's eyes flashed coldly, his spiritual power surged, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire venue. He took a step forward, and a dazzling sword light condensed in his hand, pointing directly at the Demon Cult leader: "Today, I will make you pay for what you did!"

"Just you?" The Demon Cult leader snorted disdainfully, and he waved his hand violently, and a powerful demonic energy turned into a black barrier, blocking Gu Jiuchen's sword light.

"Gu Jiuchen, do you think you are still the genius you were back then?" The voice of the Demon Cult leader was as hoarse as a poisonous snake, "You spent all your cultivation for this woman, but now your strength has greatly decreased. How can you be my opponent?"

Gu Jiuchen's face remained unchanged, but his heart sank. The Demon Cult leader was right. In order to save Ye Linglong, he did spend a lot of cultivation. Now his strength is indeed not as good as it was at his peak.

"But I'm not here to duel with you today." The Demon Cult leader suddenly changed the subject. He turned his eyes to Ye Linglong, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. "My real target is her!"

Before the Demon Cult leader finished speaking, he turned into a black shadow and attacked Ye Linglong at lightning speed.

"Linglong, be careful!" Gu Jiuchen was shocked. He wanted to stop him, but found that he was bound by an invisible force and couldn't move at all.

Seeing that the demon leader was about to catch Ye Linglong, suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky and turned into a huge golden light shield, covering Ye Linglong.

"Who is it?!" The demon leader was forced to retreat by this sudden change. He looked at the suddenly appeared golden light shield with doubts, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.

The golden light shield slowly dissipated, and an old man in a white robe with a fairy-like appearance appeared in front of Ye Linglong.

"Who are you?" Ye Linglong looked at the strange old man in front of her, full of doubts.

"I am the master of Taixu Temple, Xuanfeng." The old man smiled slightly and looked at Ye Linglong kindly, "Child, you have suffered."
