Chapter 905 Being Scorned

Among the branches of the towering ancient trees, a black figure lurked like a ghost. He is the Black Evil, one of the most ruthless killers among the remaining forces of the Demon Cult. A pair of cold eyes were staring at the simple farmhouse below through the dense leaves. That's where Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong settled.

"Hmph, the self-righteous light of righteousness dares to come alone to die." A cruel sneer appeared at the corner of Heisha's mouth.

Ever since the news of the discovery of the demon sect's stronghold spread, he expected that these righteous people would be unable to resist coming to investigate. But he was not worried. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and set up a huge trap, waiting for his prey to fall into the trap.

In the farmhouse, Gu Jiuchen and others decided to take action overnight after discussion. "The remnants of the Demon Sect are cunning and cunning. It is not appropriate for us to alert them. Tonight Linglong and I will explore the truth first." Gu Jiuchen glanced at the crowd, his tone carrying undoubted majesty.

Ye Linglong nodded slightly and agreed. Although others were worried, the strength of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong was there. The two of them joined forces and rarely encountered opponents.

As night fell, the valley was shrouded in a thick layer of darkness, making it impossible to see even one's fingers. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong sneaked into the valley quietly. With their powerful spiritual consciousness, they easily avoided the patrols of the open and dark sentries, and groped their way towards the Demon Sect's stronghold.

"Jiuchen, do we really want to take such a risk? It's better to wait for the alliance's troops to arrive, and it's not too late to act together." Ye Linglong frowned slightly, always feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

Gu Jiuchen held her hand and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Linglong. The remnants of the demon sect are not something to be afraid of. I promise you that we will fight quickly and never let you be in danger."

Ye Linglong felt the warmth in his palm, and the uneasiness in her heart calmed down a little. She knew Gu Jiuchen too well. He had always been confident and even a little arrogant, but this was also a reflection of his strength. Only this time, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

The two of them sneaked all the way and finally arrived at the outskirts of the demon sect's stronghold. Through the faint moonlight, they could vaguely see a wide open space ahead. There were several simple wooden houses built on the open space, and they could vaguely hear conversations coming from inside.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other and were about to continue approaching. Suddenly, Ye Linglong's foot slipped and she seemed to have stepped on something.

There was a soft "click" sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent night.

"Not good!" Gu Jiuchen's expression changed and he secretly thought something was wrong.

Almost at the same time, countless torches suddenly lit up in the surrounding woods, illuminating the originally dark valley like daylight. At the same time, the shouts of killing were loud, and hundreds of men in black poured out from all directions, surrounding Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

"Haha, Gu Jiuchen, Ye Linglong, you are here too!" The leader was none other than Heisha. He looked at the two people surrounded with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, "Aren't you very powerful? I want to see it. Let’s see if you can get out of here alive today!”

"Damn it!" Gu Jiuchen cursed in a low voice, and quickly protected Ye Linglong behind him. The spiritual sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the cold light was cold.

"Linglong, I was careless." There was self-blame in his tone, but he couldn't hide the seriousness in his eyes. I originally thought it was just the remnant forces of the Demon Cult and not something to be afraid of, but I didn't expect it to be a carefully laid trap.

Ye Linglong also understood at this moment that they had underestimated their enemy.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, be careful!" She held the soft whip around her waist with her backhand and scanned the surrounding men in black with vigilance.

"Kill!" Hei Sha gave the order, and hundreds of men in black rushed in like a tide, with swords and swords flashing and murderous intent.

Gu Jiuchen's sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and every sword strike was precise and cruel. In an instant, several men in black fell down. However, there were too many enemies, and they were all fearless and fearless. They fought one after another and couldn't kill them all.

Ye Linglong's soft whip also danced like an airtight whip, with each swing carrying a strong wind, forcing the approaching man in black to retreat. However, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, not to mention that they are facing well-trained killers from the Demon Cult. The situation is not optimistic.

"Jiuchen, their target is us. Let's break out separately. I'll hold them back!" Ye Linglong made a decisive decision. She understood that if they continued to entangle, both sides would suffer.

Gu Jiuchen refused without thinking, "No! I will never abandon you!"

"Obey!" Ye Linglong's tone was stronger than ever before, "We must spread the news here alive!"

Gu Jiuchen took a deep look at her, and he knew that Ye Linglong was right.

"Okay, be careful!" He finally let go, the spiritual sword in his hand glowed brightly, and with a move of "Galaxy Sword Waterfall", he forced the men in black around him back and tore a hole open.

"Let's go!" Gu Jiuchen took Ye Linglong's hand and rushed out of the encirclement without hesitation.

Seeing this, Heisha sneered, "Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

He flashed and appeared in front of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong. The long knife in his hand struck straight down with fierce murderous intent.

Gu Jiuchen had to stop and wave his sword to resist.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and two powerful forces collided, stirring up dust all over the sky.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were so shocked that their blood surged and they retreated continuously.

"Hahaha, Gu Jiuchen, your strength is nothing more than this!" Heisha laughed wildly. He had already seen through it. Although Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were powerful, they were unable to defeat four hands with just one fist. All they had to do was hold them back until reinforcements arrived. , is their death date.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood back to back, watching the enemies around them warily, their eyes full of determination.

They knew that it would be difficult to leave here alive today.

At this critical moment, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from a distance, accompanied by a deafening roar:

"The remnants of the Demon Cult, don't be so rampant!"

A white sword light tore through the night sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, and an old man in a white robe came flying on a sword, like a god descending. His hair and beard were all white, but he was energetic, his eyes were like torches, and a crystal clear jade sword in his hand exuded a sharp sword aura. It was the leader of the righteous path - Xuan Bing.

Behind Xuan Bing, dozens of streams of light followed closely, all of them were elite disciples of various righteous sects, and they all had a strong aura, and were obviously masters.

"The remnants of the Demon Cult, don't be so rampant!" Xuan Bing shouted angrily, swung the jade sword, and the sword aura was like a rainbow, instantly forcing back the black-clothed men who besieged Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

"Senior Xuanbing!" Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were relieved when they saw the reinforcements coming.

"Jiuchen, Linglong, are you all right?" Xuanbing asked with concern, and saw that they were a little embarrassed but not seriously injured, so he was relieved.

"Thank you for your help, senior, we are fine." Gu Jiuchen bowed, but his heart was full of bitterness. If they hadn't underestimated the enemy, they wouldn't have fallen into such a situation.

Ye Linglong also said: "We were careless this time and made you worried."

"Alas, in the end, I was a step late." Xuanbing sighed, and his eyes swept over the black-clothed people around him, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Remnants of the Demon Sect, today is your death day!"

After that, Xuanbing waved the jade sword again, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, attacking the black-clothed people like a storm.

Disciples of various righteous sects also sacrificed their magic weapons and joined the battle.

For a moment, shouts and screams shook the sky, swords flashed, and magic weapons flew across the sky. The originally one-sided situation was reversed in an instant.

Heisha saw that the situation was not good and knew that it was difficult to win today, so he ordered a retreat.

"Retreat!"

The black-clothed men received the order and abandoned their opponents, turning into black mist and disappearing into the night.

Xuanbing and others did not pursue them. The purpose of their trip was to save people. Now that the purpose has been achieved, they will naturally not waste time chasing these remnants.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Gu Jiuchen thanked Xuanbing again.

"You're welcome. It is the duty of our generation of cultivators to eliminate demons and defend the way." Xuanbing waved his hand, his eyes became serious, "However, Jiuchen, Linglong, I still want to remind you that although the remnants of the Demon Cult have retreated, their power may be greater than we imagined. We must not take it lightly."

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong heard the words and felt a chill in their hearts. They all understood what Xuanbing meant.

"We will remember what you have taught us." Gu Jiuchen said solemnly.

Ye Linglong also nodded, a trace of solemnity flashing in her beautiful eyes.
