Chapter 895 Obstacles
Gu Jiuchen squeezed the thin letter in his hand tightly, his knuckles turned white. The last sentence in the letter was written sharply, but it hit him hard in the heart like a heavy hammer. "The Art of Reincarnation is not the secret art of the Demon Cult, but" the words behind it stopped abruptly, as if the person who wrote it deliberately concealed it. What is the reason that makes people who know all this so afraid that they even dare not write down the truth?
Gu Jiuchen forced himself to calm down. The top priority now was to find the leader of the Demon Cult and prevent him from continuing to cause harm to the people. However, the whereabouts of the leader of the Demon Cult are mysterious. How easy is it to find him?
At the same time, Ye Linglong is running to unite various factions. She originally thought that in the face of a common enemy, all factions would put aside their differences and work together. However, the reality is far more complicated than she imagined.
Some sects agreed to the alliance on the surface, but secretly violated it, and even secretly sow discord and created conflicts. During the lobbying process, Ye Linglong encountered a series of seemingly coincidental obstacles.
"Miss Ye, it's not that we are unwilling to help, it's just that your sect has been too aggressive in recent years, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of other sects." A sect leader said in a tactful tone, but there was a hidden edge in his words.
Ye Linglong couldn't help but feel a little annoyed because she couldn't understand what he meant. The Tianxian Sect has put so much effort into resisting the Demon Sect over the years, but now it is labeled as "strong", which is really chilling.
"Have you forgotten the cruelty of the Demon Cult? They deny their relatives and kill innocent people indiscriminately. Now the leader of the Demon Cult has made a comeback. If he succeeds, all of us will become dead souls under the sword!" Ye Linglong argued with reason and tried to wake them up. conscience.
However, her efforts were not appreciated by everyone. Some sects have been blinded by selfishness. They only care about their own interests and completely ignore the overall situation.
Ye Linglong gradually realized that things were not as simple as she imagined. Behind this, there seems to be an invisible force controlling everything, trying to prevent the formation of the alliance.
At this time, Gu Jiuchen, who was far away in Tianxian Sect, also discovered some abnormalities. Some unidentified disciples appeared in the sect. They were highly skilled in martial arts, but their whereabouts were mysterious. They seemed to be investigating something secretly. Gu Jiuchen suspected that these people were probably spies from the Demon Sect, with the purpose of infiltrating into the alliance and destroying their plans.
A chill ran into his heart from the soles of his feet. Gu Jiuchen put the letter in his arms and looked up into the distance. On the horizon, the sunset was like blood, dyeing the clouds a strange red, as if foreshadowing the coming bloody storm.
At this moment, an old figure appeared in front of Gu Jiuchen out of thin air. The person who came had white hair and beard, and was dressed in coarse linen clothes, but he could not hide his fairy-like temperament.
"Senior, yes." Gu Jiuchen was shocked. The person's cultivation was unfathomable, but he didn't notice his approach at all.
"I, Xiaoyaozi, have traveled here and sensed the surge of demonic energy here, so I came here to remind you." The old man stroked his beard and looked deeply into the distance, "The leader of the demon sect has practiced an evil spell called the soul-stirring curse. Spells can silently control people's hearts and make people become his puppets without even realizing it."
When Gu Jiuchen heard this, his heart suddenly stirred up a storm. Could it be that the mysterious disciples and the sudden conflicts between the various factions were the result of secret manipulation by the leader of the Demon Cult?
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me. This junior must be more vigilant." Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Remember, the Soul-Absorbing Curse is hard to guard against. Anyone can be the target of manipulation. Don't trust anyone easily." After Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, his figure gradually faded away, as if he had never appeared before.
Gu Jiuchen looked at the direction where the old man disappeared, unable to calm down for a long time. The leader of the Demon Cult actually possesses such a terrifying spell. If he succeeds in provoking internal strife within the righteous path, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this time, Ye Linglong, who was thousands of miles away, also encountered new problems. She tried her best to convince several sects to join the alliance, but at the critical moment, she was blocked by another force.
"Miss Ye, we admire the Tianxian Sect as a person, and we are willing to contribute to the fight against the Demon Sect, but this matter is of great importance and we need time to consider it." A sect leader said with an expression on his face.
Ye Linglong knew in her heart that these sects were not really unwilling to join the alliance, but were under some pressure and did not dare to express their stance easily.
"Everyone, time waits for no one. If the leader of the Demon Cult is not eliminated, we will have no peace. Do we have to wait until the Demon Cult's army comes to the city before we are willing to put aside our prejudices and unite as one?" Ye Linglong spoke in a heavy tone, trying to arouse their enthusiasm. Crisis awareness.
However, at this moment, a young disciple hurried in and whispered a few words in the ear of one of the sect masters. The face of the door owner suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly and said in a strong tone: "We have made a decision on this matter, so please don't worry about it, Miss Ye. Please come back!"
Ye Linglong's heart sank, knowing that what happened today might not be good. She looked at everyone deeply, turned and left.
As night fell, Ye Linglong and Gu Jiuchen contacted each other through the messenger talisman and exchanged their findings. Both of them realized that the methods of the leader of the Demon Cult were far more sinister and sinister than they imagined, and that the alliance might already be in danger.
"It seems that we have to work together to find the enemy lurking in the dark as soon as possible." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice.
"I will continue to work hard to resolve the conflicts between the various factions and consolidate the unity of the alliance." Ye Linglong said firmly, "You also have to be more careful. I always feel that things will not be that simple."
After the two finished their conversation, a shadow was cast over their hearts. A war without gunpowder smoke has quietly begun
After Ye Linglong left the sect that refused to join the alliance, she felt depressed and found a secluded teahouse to borrow a cup of tea to clear her mind.
She chose a seat by the window and sat down, listening casually to the chatter of the tea drinkers around her. Suddenly, a whisper came into her ears: "The headmaster ordered that this letter must be delivered to the Tianjian Sect before tonight"
Ye Linglong's heart moved, and she turned her head calmly, only to see two seemingly ordinary people sitting at the next table, but the content of their conversation made her suspicious.
One of them lowered his voice and said: "This matter is of great importance, and the news must not be leaked, otherwise"
"Understood, we will do it now." The other person took the envelope and left in a hurry.
Ye Linglong thought to herself: These two people are sneaky, and what they said is related to the Tianjian Sect. Could it be related to the Demon Sect?
Thinking of this, she stood up calmly and quietly followed the messenger. The man went to a remote courtyard outside the city. Ye Linglong hid her body and sneaked into the courtyard, and found that the messenger was handing the letter to a masked man in black.
"Who are you? Why are you colluding with the Demon Cult?" Ye Linglong appeared and shouted.
The messenger saw that his identity was exposed, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly explained: "Miss Ye misunderstood, I was just following orders, and I didn't know they were members of the Demon Cult."
"Humph, now that things have come to this, you still want to quibble!" Ye Linglong's eyes were like torches, and she asked, "Tell me quickly, what exactly are you planning?"
The messenger knew that he could not hide it, so he had to tell the whole story. It turned out that he was originally a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, but the leader of the Demon Cult secretly cast the "Soul-Capture Curse" and became a puppet of the Demon Cult, and he had no choice but to deliver messages for the Demon Cult.
Ye Linglong was shocked when she heard this. This "Soul-stealing Curse" was indeed hard to guard against, and even the righteous disciples could not escape it. She acted decisively and used her own spiritual power to remove the "Soul-stealing Curse" on the disciple. After the disciple regained consciousness, he regretted what he had done and thanked Ye Linglong with tears.
Ye Linglong learned from him that the leader of the Demon Cult had secretly controlled many righteous disciples and used them to spread rumors among the various sects, create conflicts, and attempt to disintegrate the righteous alliance.
"So that's why I was wondering why those sects suddenly changed their minds. It turned out that the Demon Cult was interfering!" Ye Linglong suddenly realized and became more worried.
At the same time, Gu Jiuchen, under the guidance of Xiaoyaozi, was studying ways to fight against the "Soul-stealing Curse" in the Tianxian Sect. After some efforts, they finally found an ancient spell called "Pure Heart Curse" that can effectively resist the control of the "Soul-stealing Curse".
Gu Jiuchen conducted a pilot in the Tianxian Sect with remarkable results. Those disciples who were controlled by the "Soul-stealing Curse" regained their sanity under the effect of the "Purifying Heart Curse".
Just when they thought they had solved all the problems, a provocative letter from the leader of the Demon Cult appeared on Gu Jiuchen's desk. The letter mentioned a challenge that Gu Jiuchen could not refuse, casting a shadow on the upcoming war.
