Chapter 906: Continued Bullying

The night is dark, and a crisis is temporarily lifted, but everyone understands that this is just the calm before the storm, and greater challenges are yet to come. The shadow of the Demonic Cult still hangs over everyone's heart, lingering.

Xuan Bing's words echoed in the ears of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong like alarm bells. They were well aware of the threat of the Demonic Cult, but they did not expect that their power had penetrated to such an extent.

"It seems that our previous investigation was in the wrong direction." Ye Linglong frowned and said thoughtfully, "The Demon Cult is hidden so deeply, I'm afraid the information we have is just the tip of the iceberg."

Gu Jiuchen nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his deep eyes, "Linglong, you are right. We can no longer sit back and wait for death, we must take the initiative to find out the true purpose of the Demon Cult."

"But, we know almost nothing about the Demon Cult now, how should we start?" Ye Linglong was a little confused.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't be able to catch the tiger's cubs." A trace of determination flashed in Gu Jiuchen's eyes, "We must go deep into the devil's sect to find what we want."

"Go deep into the Demon Cult?" Ye Linglong was shocked, and then realized that Gu Jiuchen was planning to make a desperate move.

"Yes." Gu Jiuchen said firmly, "I know this is dangerous, but this is the only way. I will arrange everything, you don't have to worry."

Ye Linglong looked at Gu Jiuchen's firm eyes, feeling worried and moved at the same time. She knew that no one could change Gu Jiuchen's decision, so she stopped trying to dissuade him and just said softly: "Jiuchen, be careful in everything."

Gu Jiuchen gently held Ye Linglong's hand and gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After some discussion, the two decided to divide their forces into two groups. Gu Jiuchen is responsible for attracting the attention of the Demon Cult, while Ye Linglong secretly investigates the real purpose of the Demon Cult.

In order not to alert others, Gu Jiuchen decided to go to the suspected stronghold of the Demon Cult alone to conduct testing. He believes that with his own strength, he can escape unharmed even if he encounters danger.

Under the cover of night, Gu Jiuchen turned into a stream of light and quietly sneaked into the suspected stronghold of the Demon Sect. However, what he didn't expect was that this stronghold was empty, with only a faint smell of blood filling the air.

The alarm bells rang in Gu Jiuchen's heart, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He realized that he might have been trapped, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he felt a cold breath coming from behind.

"Jie Jie Jie, the dignified leader of the Tianxian Sect can be so careless sometimes." A hoarse voice sounded in Gu Jiuchen's ears.

Gu Jiuchen suddenly turned around and saw a man in black robes with a ferocious mask on his face appearing behind him at some point.

The man in black held a dagger as black as ink in his hand. The dagger exuded a heart-stopping cold light. It was obviously an extremely powerful magic weapon.

"Who are you?" Gu Jiuchen stared at the man in black with cold eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"The person who will take your life!" The man in black sneered, and the dagger in his hand turned into a black lightning, piercing Gu Jiuchen's heart.

Gu Jiuchen's face changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect the man in black to be so decisive, and his first move was a killing move. He did not dare to neglect and quickly waved the jade sword in his hand to resist the attack of the man in black.

"clang!"

There was a crisp sound of metal collision, and sparks flew everywhere. Gu Jiuchen only felt a powerful force coming from the jade sword, which made his jaw numb and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

"What a powerful force!" Gu Jiuchen was secretly shocked that the man in black was so powerful that he might not be inferior to him.

It seems that this time he has really met his opponent.

Gu Jiuchen's eyes flashed, and he held a jade sword with a sword flower in his hand. The sword energy was like a rainbow, approaching the man in black. The man in black was unhurried, his figure dodged like a ghost, and he easily dodged the sharp blow.

"Little trick!" The man in black laughed strangely, and struck again with the dagger in his hand, striking at Gu Jiuchen's vitals with fierce moves. Gu Jiuchen didn't dare to be careless, and while using all his spiritual power to resist, he looked for the man in black's flaws.

During the fierce fight, Gu Jiuchen discovered that the man in black's moves were strange, with a cold air, and were quite similar to the demon sect's techniques.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with the Demon Cult?" Gu Jiuchen asked sharply.

The man in black didn't answer, just sneered again and again, and his attack became more fierce.

At this moment, a scream came from the distance: "How dare you hurt my husband, you brave man!"

I saw Ye Linglong's light figure, descending from the sky like a fairy from the Nine Heavens, and the long whip in her hand rolled towards the man in black like a spiritual snake. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black had no choice but to give up attacking Gu Jiuchen and turned around to avoid Ye Linglong's attack.

"Madam, be careful!" Gu Jiuchen was worried when he saw this, and quickly reminded him.

But Ye Linglong was not afraid. She danced with a long whip in her hand, forcing the man in black to retreat.

While the man in black was entangled by Ye Linglong, Gu Jiuchen quickly adjusted his breath and mobilized his whole body's spiritual power, preparing to give the man in black a fatal blow.

However, at this moment, the man in black suddenly laughed strangely: "I'll let you go for now. The next time we meet, you will die!"

After saying that, it turned into a black mist and disappeared into the night.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other with confusion in their hearts.

"Who is this person? Why did he want to put you to death?" Ye Linglong asked worriedly.

Gu Jiuchen shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said: "This person's skills are weird, and he seems to be related to the Demon Cult, but his specific identity has yet to be investigated. It seems that the remnants of the Demon Cult have not been completely eliminated, and we still need to be careful."

Ye Linglong nodded, but she felt uneasy in her heart, as if a bigger storm was coming...

A few days later, the temporary headquarters of the Righteous Alliance was in a heavy atmosphere.

"Although the Demon Cult has been seriously injured, the centipede is still alive and well. We must not take it lightly." Xuan Bing Zhenren looked serious, glanced at everyone present, and said slowly.

"Yes, the remnants of the Demon Cult are cunning. They lurk in the dark and wait for an opportunity to move. We must find out their details as soon as possible to formulate an effective counterattack strategy." Gu Jiuchen added.

"I suggest that we can use Qingfeng's connections in the world to collect more information about the Demon Cult." Ye Linglong suggested.

"Madam, what you said makes sense. Qingfeng is well-informed. If he takes action, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Xuan Bing Zhenren agreed.

After everyone finished discussing, they began to act separately. A counterattack against the remnants of the Demon Cult was about to begin...

At this time, in a secret cave hundreds of miles away from the headquarters of the Righteous Alliance, Heisha was listening to his subordinates' reports with gnashing teeth.

"What? Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong are still alive?!"

## Linglong is drunk, Jiuchen is broken (93) Endure humiliation and plan a counterattack

"What? Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong are still alive?!" Heisha slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the stone table jumped up. The scalding tea splashed on his hands, but he didn't care. His sinister eyes stared at his subordinates kneeling on the ground.

"Reporting to the protector," the subordinate replied tremblingly, "I saw with my own eyes that Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong appeared at the headquarters of the Righteous Alliance, and..." He paused, as if hesitating whether to continue.

"And what? You are hesitating, what a mess!" Heisha roared impatiently.

"And... and I've heard that the Righteous Alliance is secretly gathering forces, and it seems that they are planning to harm us." The subordinate was so scared that he trembled all over, and quickly told all the information he had found out.

"Damn it!" Heisha was furious, and smashed the stone bench beside him with a palm, "This group of righteous hypocrites actually dared to plot against me! I want to see how capable they are!"

He paced back and forth in the cave with a gloomy face, thinking about countermeasures quickly in his mind. He knew that the Demon Cult was now seriously injured and it was not appropriate to confront the Righteous Alliance head-on. He must find a way to take the initiative and disrupt their plans.

"Pass my order!" Heisha stopped, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Immediately send someone to spread rumors, saying that Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong colluded with the Demon Cult, harmed their fellows, and intended to subvert the entire Righteous Path!"

"Yes, protector!" The subordinate took the order and left.

Heisha looked at the back of his subordinate leaving, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He wanted to ruin Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong's reputation, make them the target of public criticism, and never gain a foothold in the Righteous Alliance again!

A few days later, all kinds of rumors about Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong began to circulate in the martial arts world. Some said that they deliberately let the Demon Cult win in the battle, some said that they secretly practiced magic skills, and some even said that they had surrendered to the Demon Cult and became its running dogs.
