Chapter 904: The World Is Far Away, and the Years Are Long

In addition to Li Yunfei, Ye Linglong's senior sisters Zixia and Xuanlei also often come to visit them, bringing them new things in the world so that they will not lose touch with the outside world.

"Junior sister, I heard that a martial arts secret book has appeared in the world recently, attracting everyone to fight for it, and even some hidden sects have mobilized." Zixia talked about the rumors in the world with great interest.

Ye Linglong listened with a smile. To them, these disputes in the rivers and lakes seemed like stories from another world. However, Gu Jiuchen felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. This peaceful day might just be the calm before the storm.

He had a hunch that a bigger storm was quietly brewing...

Xuan Lei has a playful temperament and often talks with joy and dance, while Zixia occasionally adds a few words to the side. The two sing and harmonize, bringing the strange things in the world to life. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong cuddled together and brewed a pot of tea. Amidst the dense fragrance of the tea, they seemed to be in the magnificent rivers and lakes.

On this day, Xuan Lei brought a message: "Recently, there are rumors in the world that a rare treasure has appeared in Luoxia Valley, which has attracted people from all walks of life to rush to go there. Even some old monsters who have been hidden for many years have come out of the mountain!"

"Oh? What kind of exotic treasure is it that has such great appeal?" Ye Linglong asked curiously.

Xuan Lei scratched his head and said: "There are different opinions on what it is specifically. Some say it is an ancient magic weapon, some say it is a peerless secret book, and some say it is a magic elixir that can bring the dead back to life..."

Gu Jiuchen smiled nonchalantly and said, "The rumors in the world are mostly based on speculation and cannot be trusted."

Zixia said: "However, what happened this time seems to be

It seems that this is not groundless, I heard that even the Righteous Alliance has sent people to Luoxia Valley. "

"Oh?" Gu Jiuchen raised his eyebrows slightly. The Righteous Alliance has always been responsible for maintaining order in the world. If they are involved in this matter, it seems that this Luoxia Valley is indeed something unusual.

While several people were talking, Ye Linglong suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to see Xiaobao."

Xiaobao is a little spiritual beast adopted by Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong. It is white, furry and very cute. Not long after Ye Linglong left, Gu Jiuchen suddenly felt a weak demonic energy coming from a distance. He was shocked. Although this demonic energy was weak, it was very evil and could not be possessed by ordinary demon sect disciples.

"Not good!" Gu Jiuchen's expression changed and he said to Xuan Lei and Zi Xia: "I feel a demonic energy. You guys stay here and I'll come back when I go." After saying that, he flashed and turned into a wave of demonic energy. The stream of light chased in the direction of the demonic energy.

Ye Linglong returned to the room, only to find that Xiaobao was missing. She panicked and hurriedly went out to look for her, but she saw a note left by Gu Jiuchen in the yard: "Linglong, don't worry, I'll be right back."

Ye Linglong felt a little uneasy in her heart. She knew that Gu Jiuchen would not leave such a note for no reason. Something must have happened. She thought for a moment and decided to search in the direction where Gu Jiuchen disappeared.

Following the weak demonic energy all the way, Ye Linglong came to a remote valley. In the valley, a village suddenly appeared in front of you. However, this village is shrouded in a strange atmosphere. The villagers are all sallow and thin, with empty eyes, as if they are walking zombies.

Ye Linglong's heart

Suddenly, she realizes that the village has been controlled by the Demon Cult. She did not act rashly, but sneaked into the village quietly to investigate the situation. At this moment, she saw several people wearing black robes with ferocious masks on their faces, performing some kind of evil ritual on the villagers...

Ye Linglong held her breath and hid behind a thick old tree, staring closely at the group of men in black. They were mumbling words, their voices were low and strange, and the magical weapons in their hands emitted a faint light, which shone on the faces of the numb villagers, making them even more eerie and terrifying.

"What are they doing?" Ye Linglong thought to herself, a chill rising from the soles of her feet.

At this moment, Gu Jiuchen's figure appeared quietly next to her and whispered: "They are using magic skills to absorb the essence of the villagers and use it to practice evil arts."

Hearing this, Ye Linglong became even more indignant and was about to show up to stop him, but was held back by Gu Jiuchen. He shook his head, motioning for her to calm down, and then pointed to the other end of the village.

Ye Linglong looked along his fingertips and saw several men in black there, who seemed to be guarding something. And that weak demonic energy emanated from there.

The two exchanged glances, understanding. Gu Jiuchen's figure flashed, turned into an afterimage, and instantly appeared in front of the men in black. Before they could react, he had already swung out a palm, and the sharp wind knocked them to the ground.

Ye Linglong followed closely behind, with the long sword in her hand unsheathed and the cold light flashing, forcing back several men in black who tried to sneak attack.

Although this group of demon sect remnants is large in number, under the guidance of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Ling,

In front of Long, he was as vulnerable as a chicken or a dog. In a matter of moments, they were all subdued.

After rescuing the villagers, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong did not take it lightly. They interrogated the men in black and learned that they were just a group of minions who were ordered to collect essence. As for who was behind the scenes, they had no idea.

Looking at the villagers who had been eroded by the demonic energy and become extremely weak, Ye Linglong felt mixed emotions in her heart. Although they have tried their best to prevent this tragedy, the shadow of the Demon Cult still hangs over this land, and it is unknown when it will come back again.

"It seems that we can no longer live this kind of life of idle clouds and wild cranes." Gu Jiuchen looked into the distance and said in a heavy tone.

Ye Linglong nodded, held his hand tightly, and said firmly: "The world needs us, we can't just sit idly by."

Therefore, they decided to patrol the rivers and lakes regularly, secretly investigate the traces of the demon sect, and protect this hard-won peace. However, they didn't know that a bigger challenge was still waiting for them...

During an inspection, they discovered a hidden valley where the demonic aura was soaring. It was obviously a large-scale demonic sect stronghold. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong realized that this might be just the tip of the iceberg, and the power of the Demonic Cult was far more powerful than they imagined. The real battle has just begun...

Ever since they discovered that hidden valley, it has been difficult for Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong to return to their former peaceful lives. The demonic energy soaring into the sky was like a huge boulder weighing on their hearts, lingering.

"Linglong, what do you think is hidden in that valley?" Gu Jiuchen stood in front of the window, looking at the setting sun on the horizon, and asked

There was a hint of worry in his breath.

Ye Linglong was dusting off their swords. Hearing this, he stopped what he was doing, walked to him, and gently held his hand: "No matter what is hidden, we have to face it. Just like we did back then. The oath I made is to protect this world."

Gu Jiuchen held her hand tightly with his backhand, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: "You are right, we cannot retreat. However, I am worried that the demon sect is so powerful that it may be difficult for the two of us to compete."

"Don't worry, Jiuchen, we still have the Righteous Alliance." Ye Linglong comforted, "As long as we work together, there is nothing to fear."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the door: "Haha, Linglong is right! Those young people from the Demon Sect, together with us righteous people, we will definitely be able to catch them all!"

The person who came was none other than Li Yunfei, the leader of the Righteous Alliance. Behind him was a tall, middle-aged man with a stern face, who was Xuan Lei, a master of the righteous path.

"Brother Li, Senior Xuan Lei!" Ye Linglong smiled and stepped forward, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that you discovered traces of the Demon Cult, so we rushed here to join you without stopping." Li Yunfei strode into the house and said boldly, "Tell me, what did you find this time?"

Gu Jiuchen informed Li Yunfei and Xuan Lei about the situation in the valley in detail.

"It seems that the demon sect is coming with great force this time!" Xuan Lei frowned after hearing this, "The valley is in a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We must take a long-term approach."

"That's right," Li Yunfei nodded, "Let's go back to the alliance to discuss it first and summon the experts from each faction.

Make plans again. "

While everyone was discussing, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Junior sister, I heard that you are in trouble?"

Ye Linglong looked back and saw a beautiful woman in a purple dress walking in. It was her senior sister, Zixia.

"Senior sister, why are you here too?" Ye Linglong said in surprise.

"I heard that the Demon Cult reappeared in the world, and I guessed that you would not stand by and watch, so I came here to help you." Zixia said with a smile.

Seeing everyone gathered together, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were filled with confidence. They know that this upcoming battle will be extremely difficult, but they are already prepared. In order to protect this hard-won peace, they will fight to the end without hesitation!

However, no one noticed that on a towering tree in the distance, a pair of cold eyes were watching their every move, with a strange sneer on the corners of their mouths...
