Chapter 896: Effort

Just when Gu Jiuchen and Xiaoyaozi thought that the problem of the "Soul Capturing Curse" had been solved and they could breathe a sigh of relief, a disciple of the Tianxian Sect sent a black letter. There was no mark on the envelope, but there was a cold air about it.

Gu Jiuchen took the letter and felt his heart sink inexplicably when his fingertips touched the cold paper. He slowly unfolded the letter, and lines of blood-red handwriting came into view, as if carrying a strong smell of blood, which made people palpitate.

"Gu Jiuchen, do you think that a mere soul-absorbing spell can stop me? You are wrong! I will give you ten days. After ten days, you will bring your disciples and grandchildren to the Netherworld Blood Abyss to fight to the death with me! If you don’t come, I will kill all the righteous people in the world and make you, Gu Jiuchen, suffer infamy for all eternity! Hahaha!”

The arrogant laughter seemed to still be echoing in his ears. At the end of the letter, there was a bright red palm print, as if printed with blood, which was shocking.

Gu Jiuchen's face became extremely ugly. He handed the letter to Xiaoyaozi and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this is the real purpose of the leader of the Demon Cult."

Xiaoyaozi frowned after reading the letter and said: "The Netherworld Blood Abyss is a forbidden area of ​​the Demon Sect. It is extremely dangerous. He invited you to fight there. He obviously wants to take advantage of the convenient location to catch you all."

"Yes," Gu Jiuchen's eyes flashed with a cold light, "It seems that this battle is inevitable."

At this moment, Ye Linglong rushed back to the Tianxian Sect after a long journey, and told Gu Jiuchen that she had discovered outside the city that the leader of the Demon Cult was secretly controlling the righteous disciples, spreading rumors, and trying to disintegrate the righteous alliance.

"The leader of the Demon Cult is indeed cunning!" After hearing this, Gu Jiuchen's face became even more gloomy. "He wants to disintegrate us from the inside and make us disorganized so that we can defeat him one by one."

"Then what should we do?" Ye Linglong asked worriedly.

Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment and said: "Linglong, please inform other sects of this matter immediately, so that they can take better precautions and not be succeeded by the devil's leader's scheme. At the same time, you must also appease people's hearts and not let them get into trouble."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Ye Linglong took the order and left.

Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's leaving back, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The leader of the Demon Cult was full of tricks. This time in the "Netherworld Blood Abyss" appointment, I'm afraid it will be another hard battle.

Nether Blood Abyss, just the name gives off an eerie and terrifying aura, making people shudder. Gu Jiuchen held the blood-stained letter tightly, as if he was holding a huge burden. The challenge from the leader of the Demon Cult was like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of all righteous people.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, his eyes shining with perseverance. The leader of the Demon Cult wanted to take advantage of the geographical convenience of the Nether Blood Abyss to wipe out all the righteous ways, but he failed. He wanted to let the leader of the Demon Cult know that evil will not prevail against good!

Ye Linglong's timely return undoubtedly brought new information and challenges to Gu Jiuchen. The leader of the Demon Cult secretly spreads rumors, sows dissension, and tries to disintegrate the Righteous Alliance from within. His heart is to be punished!

"Linglong, thank you for your hard work." Gu Jiuchen held Ye Linglong's hand tenderly, his eyes full of heartache and appreciation, "You did a good job and discovered the conspiracy of the leader of the Demon Cult in time."

Ye Linglong shook her head gently, her pretty face full of determination: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely convey the news to other sects, and we will never let the evil sect master's conspiracy succeed!"

The news spread quickly throughout the entire righteous path as if it had wings. For a time, people were panicked, and many sects began to doubt each other. There seemed to be a crack in the originally unbreakable alliance.

Gu Jiuchen made a prompt decision and decided to summon all the righteous sects to hold a swearing-in meeting in the Tianxian Sect. He wanted to crush the conspiracy of the leader of the demon sect in front of everyone and revive the morale of the righteous path!

In the Tianxian Sect Square, banners were flying and people were buzzing. Representatives from various sects gathered together, and everyone's face was filled with solemnity and worry.

Gu Jiuchen was dressed in white and stood on a high platform, as if he were a god descending to earth, awe-inspiring and inviolable. He glanced at the whole place with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the leader of the Demon Cult has many tricks and attempts to drive us apart and make us kill each other. Today, I summoned everyone here to tell you that we righteous people must unite as one. Let’s fight against the devil together!”

His voice was like a bell, resounding throughout the square, shocking people's hearts.

Ye Linglong was dressed in red and bravely walked to Gu Jiuchen. She looked around and said loudly: "Everyone, I have witnessed with my own eyes how the leader of the Demon Cult uses rumors to sow discord. Their purpose is to make us internal Chaos, and then defeat them one by one! Should we just sit back and watch the devil's conspiracy succeed? "

"Of course not!" A deafening roar broke out from the crowd, and everyone's eyes were burning with rage.

Ye Linglong smiled slightly and continued: "The reason why we righteous people can stand for thousands of years depends on unity! I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to defeat the Demon Sect and restore peace to the world!"

Her words were like bolts of lightning, striking the hearts of everyone present. Yes, facing a common enemy, why shouldn't they unite as one?

Ye Linglong's speech won applause and cheers from everyone present. At this moment, everyone's hearts are full of hope and strength. They believe that under the leadership of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, the right path will win!

At this time, an old man slowly stepped forward. He was the righteous and respected leader Xuanfeng Zhenren. He smoothed his long beard, looked at everyone with deep eyes, and slowly spoke.

Master Xuanfeng, dressed in plain clothes, has an immortal demeanor and a kind face with a touch of worry. He spoke slowly, and his voice was low but clearly spread throughout the square: "The devil's sect is coming with great force this time, and its ambitions are obvious. However, we and other righteous people are not greedy for life and fear of death. We must unite as one. Let’s overcome the difficulties together!”

Master Xuanfeng's words were resounding, like a shot in the arm, injected into everyone's heart. He continued: "I am not talented, but I am willing to do my best to contribute to this grand strategy of good and evil and formulate a battle plan. I hope it can help me win on the right path!"

Having said that, Master Xuanfeng combined his years of research on the Demon Cult with the information revealed in the Demon Cult leader's challenge letter to formulate a detailed battle plan. He integrated the forces of the righteous factions and formulated different combat plans based on the characteristics and advantages of each faction's techniques to deal with various tactics that the Demon Cult might adopt.

Master Xuanfeng knows very well that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be able to fight without danger. He proposed to send a team of elite forces to sneak into the territory of the Demon Sect to explore the reality of the Demon Sect so that Zhengdao could better formulate a response strategy.

"The risk of this matter is extremely high. I wonder which fellow Taoist is willing to go?" Master Xuanfeng looked around with expectation in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, middle-aged man with a stern face walked out of the crowd. It was Li Yunfei, the head of the Qingyun Sect. He cupped his hands and said: "Senior Xuanfeng, this junior is willing to accept the order and go, and he will definitely fulfill his mission!"

Li Yunfei is a well-known master in the righteous path. His cultivation is unfathomable and resourceful. He is well versed in the art of war. It is perfect for him to lead the team into the territory of the Demon Sect.

Master Xuanfeng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay! Head Li, this operation is of great importance, so be careful in everything. If you encounter something that is impossible to defeat, remember not to be reluctant to fight. Preservation of yourself is the first priority!"

"Yes!" Li Yunfei took the order, quickly summoned a team composed of elite disciples from various sects, quietly left the Tianxian Sect, and headed towards the Demon Sect's territory.

A few days later, Li Yunfei and others sent back news that they had successfully sneaked into the territory of the Demon Sect. Not only did they detect the deployment of the Demon Sect, they also found an opportunity to destroy an important stronghold of the Demon Sect and weakened part of the Demon Sect's strength.

When the news came, the morale of the righteous people was greatly boosted. When the leader of the Demonic Cult learned about the incident, he was furious and immediately ordered to strengthen the alert to prevent another raid by the righteous people.

The battle in the Netherworld and Blood Abyss was about to break out. In the Tianxian Sect, Gu Jiuchen looked at his disciples with a burning fire in his heart. He knew that it was time for his disciples to accept a more severe trial!

The battle in the Netherworld and Blood Abyss is imminent, and the Tianxian Sect is enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Gu Jiuchen stood on the high platform of the martial arts arena with his hands behind his hands, his eyes like torches as he scanned the disciples below who were training hard. He knew that passion alone was not enough. Only by raising his strength to the extreme could he protect the sect and the common people in the coming war.

"From today on, I will personally guide you in your practice. I hope you can do your best and live up to expectations!" Gu Jiuchen's voice was as cold as jade, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
