Chapter 897 New Obstacles

The disciples were all excited when they heard this, and their eyes were burning with fighting spirit. They knew the importance of this battle and understood the master's painstaking efforts.

Gu Jiuchen said no more, and his figure flashed and he came to the center of the martial arts field. He tapped his fingertips, and mysterious runes emerged from thin air, turning into a small formation, covering the disciples.

"This formation is called the Nine Heavens Star Formation, which can simulate the actual combat environment and stimulate your potential." Gu Jiuchen's voice echoed in the formation, "Remember, don't take it lightly!"

As soon as the voice fell, the formation started, the wind whistled, thunder and lightning struck, and various illusions emerged one after another, making it hard to guard against. The disciples fought hard in the formation, sweating and sharpening their will.

On the other side, Ye Linglong was running around to consolidate the unity of the alliance. She knew that in the face of the powerful enemy of the Demon Sect, only unity can achieve the final victory.

She organized a series of cultural exchange activities and invited disciples from various sects to participate. The various activities, including calligraphy, painting, poetry, and martial arts, not only enhanced the understanding between the various sects, but also deepened the friendship between them.

"Miss Ye, you are really clever and have come up with these methods. Now the disciples of various sects get along well and are united. It is really rare!" Xuanfeng Zhenren stroked his beard and said with satisfaction at the lively scene in front of him.

Ye Linglong smiled slightly and said, "Senior Xuanfeng is too kind. I just hope that everyone can unite and defeat the Demon Sect together to bring peace and prosperity to the world."

As night fell, the sky was dotted with stars. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked side by side on the tree-lined path of Tianxian Sect. The moonlight fell on them, as if they were covered with a layer of silver gauze.

"Linglong, you did a great job." Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong with praise in his eyes. "Unity within the alliance is crucial to us."

"I just did what I should do." Ye Linglong smiled lightly. "I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to defeat the Demon Cult!"

Suddenly, Gu Jiuchen paused and looked sharply at the depths of the dense forest in the distance. A faint demonic aura came from there.

"What's wrong?" Ye Linglong noticed Gu Jiuchen's strangeness and asked in a low voice.

"There seems to be something wrong there." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, "Let's go and have a look."

The two looked at each other and walked silently towards the depths of the dense forest.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked lightly, and their figures shuttled through the dense forest like ghosts. The moonlight penetrated through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground, adding a bit of weirdness. The deeper you go, the thicker the faint demonic aura becomes, and the air seems to be filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

"Be careful, there must be a secret of the Demon Cult hidden here." Gu Jiuchen reminded in a low voice, while releasing his spiritual sense to carefully explore the surrounding situation.

Ye Linglong nodded, holding a short sword tightly in her hand, and a vigilant light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

The two walked forward for a distance and finally stopped in front of a valley. At the entrance of the valley, two disciples of the Demon Cult in black robes were pacing back and forth boredly, watching the surrounding movements vigilantly.

"It seems that this is the base of the Demon Cult." Ye Linglong lowered his voice and said, "Should we notify Senior Xuanfeng and the others to kill together?"

Gu Jiuchen shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly. Since the Demon Cult dared to set up a base here, it must have something to rely on. Let's find out their strengths and weaknesses first, and then make plans."

After that, he pulled Ye Linglong to hide on a towering tree, and observed the situation in the valley from a high position.

In the valley, the lights were bright and the crowds were bustling. Hundreds of demon sect disciples were practicing formations, and the shouts of killing shook the earth. On a high platform in the center of the valley, several demon sect elders in purple robes were sitting cross-legged, as if they were performing some mysterious ritual.

"What are they doing?" Ye Linglong frowned and asked in a low voice.

Gu Jiuchen observed for a moment, his face gradually became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "They are setting up a blood sacrifice formation!"

"Blood sacrifice formation?" Ye Linglong was shocked when he heard this, "Do they want to..."

Gu Jiuchen nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "If I'm not mistaken, they want to use the blood sacrifice formation to summon the power of the demon world!"

Ye Linglong suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. If the conspiracy of the demon sect succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous!

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the valley. A man in a blood-red robe slowly walked up to the platform. He had a hideous mask on his face and exuded a terrifying aura that made people's heart palpitate.

"Blood Demon Ancestor!" Gu Jiuchen recognized the man at a glance, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

Blood Demon Ancestor, the previous leader of the Demon Cult, had unfathomable strength and disappeared a hundred years ago. I didn't expect him to appear here!

"It seems that the Demon Cult has made a huge investment this time." Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "Linglong, we must inform Senior Xuanfeng and others about this as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Ye Linglong also knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded solemnly.

However, just as the two were about to leave, a roar suddenly came from below: "Who is it?!"

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were shocked, and then they realized that they had been surrounded by a group of disciples of the Demon Cult without knowing when.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes. They had concealed their aura for a long time, but they were still discovered by these demon sect disciples, which shows that the cultivation of these people is not weak.

"Quick fight, quick decision!" Gu Jiuchen shouted, a green light flashed in his hand, and the Tianchen Sword was already in his hand.

Not to be outdone, Ye Linglong lightly raised her hand, and fierce sword energy swept towards the demon sect disciples. The two of them joined forces and used their swords to kill all the disciples of the Demon Cult who surrounded them in just a moment.

However, just when they were about to break out, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Before he finished speaking, a bloody figure descended from the sky and stood in front of them. This person is none other than the Blood Demon Ancestor!

"Ancestor Blood Demon!" Gu Jiuchen's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Gu Jiuchen, I have heard about his reputation for a long time, but when I saw him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation." The Blood Demon Ancestor smiled sadly, "It's a pity that you are going to die here today!"

"It's just you?" Gu Jiuchen sneered, the Tianchen Sword puffed out sword energy, exuding a fierce sword intent.

At this moment, a homing pigeon suddenly flew from a distance and landed on Gu Jiuchen's shoulder. Gu Jiuchen took off the letterhead from the carrier pigeon's feet, unfolded it, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

"What's wrong?" When Ye Linglong saw this, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, handed the letter to Ye Linglong, and said in a deep voice: "The leader of the Demon Cult sent a message. He has mastered a forbidden technique that can destroy the entire world. He threatens me to go to negotiate alone, otherwise..."

"What?!" Ye Linglong's face suddenly changed when she heard this, "Is he crazy?!"

"He is trying to force you to submit!" A cold light flashed in Gu Jiuchen's eyes, "I can't go, otherwise once I fall into his trap, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"But" Ye Linglong wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Gu Jiuchen waving his hand.

"Linglong, I know you are worried about me, but this matter is of great importance and I must go there in person." Gu Jiuchen said firmly, "Don't worry, I will be fine."

"No! I don't agree!" Ye Linglong firmly objected, "You can't take risks!"

"Linglong, listen to me." Gu Jiuchen wanted to persuade her again, but when she saw Ye Linglong's eyes were slightly red and tears were rolling in her eyes, her heart suddenly softened.

"I promise you, I will come back alive." Gu Jiuchen gently hugged Ye Linglong into his arms and whispered in her ear.

He knew that he had to face this challenge, for the sake of peace in the world, and for Ye Linglong. Ye Linglong tightly grasped Gu Jiuchen's sleeves, and her tears fell one by one like broken pearls. "No! I can't let you take risks! The leader of the Demon Cult is ruthless, and if you go there alone, it's like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!"

Gu Jiuchen gently stroked Ye Linglong's green hair and comforted softly: "Linglong, I understand your worries. But at this moment, as a leader of the righteous path, I must not back down. Don't worry, I will be fine."

At this moment, an old man with gray hair wearing coarse linen clothes suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He held a crutch, had an immortal air, and his eyes shone with wisdom.

"This is" everyone was stunned, they had never seen this person before.

"I am Xiaoyaozi, Xianyun Yehe, and I have some knowledge of magic." The old man smiled slightly and said to Gu Jiuchen, "Gu Sect Leader, I have a method that may be able to help you."

Gu Jiuchen's heart moved, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, senior."

Xiaoyaozi nodded and said: "I can use my own cultivation to put a layer of diamond protective barrier on you. This barrier can resist all attacks and last for twelve hours. With its protection, I believe that the devil The leader of the religion can’t do anything to you.”

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Ye Linglong's eyes, and she quickly said: "Jiuchen, just promise Senior Xiaoyaozi! This way we can feel more at ease."
