Chapter 915 Small Obstacle

Gu Jiuchen's premonition was not groundless. Just as the righteous heroes gathered in Kunlun to discuss countermeasures, an undercurrent was quietly surging. The disappearance of the leader of the Demon Cult did not mean that he really disappeared, but that he was lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

A few days ago, Gu Jiuchen followed the plan and led a team of elite disciples to quietly go to an important stronghold of the Demon Sect - the Valley of Fallen Souls. The Valley of Lost Souls has a steep terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is an important place used by the Demon Cult to store resources and train followers. Gu Jiuchen's goal this time is to sneak into the valley, explore the reality of the demon sect, and provide intelligence for the next move of the Righteous Alliance.

The disciples all have extraordinary skills. Under the leadership of Gu Jiuchen, they shuttle through the dense forest and move quickly and secretly. However, just as they were about to arrive at the entrance of Lost Soul Valley, an accident happened.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several sharp arrows came through the air and went straight to the disciples at the front of the team.

"Enemy attack!"

Gu Jiuchen reacted quickly, shouted loudly, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, the sword light flashed, and chopped down all the incoming sharp arrows.

"Who dares to ambush the Tianxian Sect!" Zhu Tai shouted angrily, unsheathing the long knife in his hand and observing the surroundings vigilantly.

There was silence in the dense forest, with only the rustling of leaves, as if the attack just now was just an illusion. However, Gu Jiuchen and his disciples all knew that the danger had not been eliminated.

"Be careful!"

Gu Jiuchen gave the order in a deep voice, and the disciples immediately formed a defensive formation back to back and watched the surroundings vigilantly.

Several more sharp arrows were shot, this time targeting the disciples at the rear of the team.

"mean!"

Lin Wanqing scolded and waved the long whip in her hand, knocking down the sharp arrows one by one.

"Don't be obsessed with fighting, fight quickly

Decide! "

Gu Jiuchen gave an order, and the disciples used their unique skills to launch attacks in the direction where the enemy was hiding.

Suddenly there was the sound of swords clashing and screams in the woods.

However, these attackers seemed to be just trying to buy time, not willing to fight, and soon disappeared deep into the jungle.

"Master, shall we pursue him?" Zhu Tai asked.

"Don't chase after poor bandits!" Gu Jiuchen shook his head, "Our goal is the Valley of Lost Souls, don't let these little characters delay us."

Although the disciples were unwilling to give up, they also knew the priorities, so they stopped pursuing and continued towards the Fallen Soul Valley.

Although only a few disciples were lost in this attack, Gu Jiuchen's heart was cast with a shadow. He knew that this was no accident, but was done intentionally by the Demon Cult. It seems that the Demon Cult has noticed the actions of the Righteous Alliance and has begun to strengthen its precautions.

This battle between good and evil is far more complicated than imagined... Gu Jiuchen frowned. These attackers were well-trained and retreated quickly. They were obviously not ordinary demon sect minions. Their real purpose is probably to test the reality of the righteous path and delay their journey to the Valley of Lost Souls.

"Linglong, come and see them." Gu Jiuchen turned around and looked at Ye Linglong behind him.

Ye Linglong nodded slightly, moved lightly, and walked to the side of the injured disciple. I saw her slender jade fingers lightly tapping a few acupuncture points on the injured person, and a stream of warm air flowed into the injured person's body along her fingertips. After a while, the injured man's pale face regained some color, and his breathing became much calmer.

"Thank you, madam!" The injured person looked at Ye Linglong gratefully.

"It doesn't matter, you can rest in peace and recover, and leave the rest to us."

Ye Linglong's tone was gentle, but there was a firmness to it.

She looked around everyone, with a firm light shining in her clear eyes: "Dear brothers, I know that everyone is sad and angry. But this is just a small setback, and we cannot be discouraged by it. The devil's sect's tricks Duan, we must unite as one to defeat them!”

Ye Linglong's words were like a warm current, dispelling the gloom in everyone's hearts and rekindling their fighting spirit.

"Madam is right, we can't be defeated by such a trivial matter!" Zhu Tai was the first to stand up and respond.

"That's right, we Tianxian Sect disciples will never be afraid of any challenge!" Lin Wanqing followed closely behind.

Seeing the disciples regaining their confidence, Gu Jiuchen felt a little comforted. He knew that Ye Linglong was not only his wife, but also the spiritual pillar of the Tianxian Sect. Her existence could always bring hope and strength to everyone.

"Linglong, thank you." Gu Jiuchen walked to Ye Linglong, held her hand, and said softly.

Ye Linglong looked back and smiled, her eyes moving with tenderness and sweetness: "Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."

After a short rest, Gu Jiuchen and his disciples continued on their way. However, this attack made him realize that the power of the Demonic Cult was more powerful than they imagined, and they had to be more careful.

After arriving in Kunlun, Gu Jiuchen immediately informed Xuan Bing and others about the attack. Everyone looked solemn when they heard this.

"It seems that the Demon Cult has noticed something, and we must change our plan." Xuan Bing pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Yes, we can no longer disperse our forces, otherwise we will only give the devil

Teach each opportunity to defeat. " Xuan Lei also agreed.

After some discussion, everyone decided to temporarily abandon the plan to attack the Valley of Lost Souls, and instead strengthen surveillance of various strongholds of the Demon Sect, and at the same time send more spies to go deep into the hinterland of the Demon Sect to collect intelligence.

"Zixia and Qingfeng, you two are familiar with the situation of the Demon Sect. You will lead an elite team to explore the hinterland of the Demon Sect. You must find out the true purpose of the Demon Sect!" Xuan Bing ordered.

Zixia and Qingfeng took the order and immediately ordered their troops to prepare for departure.

Gu Jiuchen looked at the two people's leaving figures, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. He always felt that something was happening quietly, but they didn't know anything about it.

After Zixia and Qingfeng accepted the order, without any delay, they immediately selected ten elite disciples and formed an agile team, preparing to sneak into the hinterland of the Demon Sect. Before leaving, Gu Jiuchen specially called the two of them to him and gave them careful instructions.

"This mission is extremely dangerous. You must be careful and don't show off." Gu Jiuchen's face was solemn, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry, Sect Master, we will do our best to fulfill our mission!" Zixia said with a firm tone, cupping her hands.

"Yes, don't worry, Sect Master. We are not just fledgling disciples. We still have some experience in dealing with the evil ways of the Demon Sect." Qingfeng also said with a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Gu Jiuchen nodded. He knew that both of them were experienced disciples, but he still couldn't help but feel worried. He took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zixia: "This jade pendant can withstand a fatal attack. You can

Keep it for emergencies. "

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Zixia took the jade pendant and put it away solemnly.

After bidding farewell to Gu Jiuchen, Zixia and Qingfeng led the team to set off. They stayed up day and night, carefully avoiding the patrols of the Demon Cult, and went all the way deep into the Demon Cult's hinterland. In order not to alert the enemy, they did not even dare to use their spiritual power. They relied solely on their own lightness skills and concealment skills, which made it extremely difficult to move.

A few days later, they came to a desolate mountain range. According to the intelligence, this is where an important stronghold of the Demon Cult is located.

"Senior sister, what should we do next?" a disciple asked in a low voice.

Zixia looked around, pointed to a mountain peak not far away, and said: "Let's go to that mountain peak to observe the terrain first, and then make a plan."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then quietly moved towards the mountain peak.

As night falls, there is silence in the mountains and forests, only the occasional chirping of insects makes it even more quiet. Zixia and Qingfeng led the team and sneaked into a valley under the cover of night.

"Strange, why is there such a strong smell of blood here?" A disciple covered his nose and whispered.

Zixia's heart moved, and she signaled everyone to slow down and walk slowly towards the depths of the valley.

After pushing aside the dense bushes, the scene in front of them made everyone break into a cold sweat. I saw that in the center of the valley, there was a huge cave hidden. The entrance of the cave was filled with white bones. Gusts of cold wind blew out of the cave, mixed with the strong smell of blood and putrefaction, which was disgusting.

"What...what is this place?" A disciple asked with a pale face and a trembling voice.

"If my guess is correct, this place should be used by the Demon Cult for training.

A place where poisons and sorcery props are made. Zixia took a deep breath, lowered her voice and said with a cold light in her eyes.

"What? Refining poisons and sorcery props?" When everyone heard this, they were immediately filled with indignation.

"These demon cult monsters deserve death!"

"Let's rush in and catch them all!"

Seeing the anger among the disciples, Zixia quickly raised her hand to stop them: "Don't be impatient. We don't know the situation inside yet. Taking rash actions will only alert the enemy."

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch them continue to do evil?" A disciple asked anxiously.

Zixia thought for a moment and said: "Let's do this, Qingfeng, you take a few people to stay here, and I will go explore the cave to see what's fishy inside."

"No, senior sister, this is too dangerous, let me go!" Qingfeng said quickly.

"Your cultivation is not as good as mine, so let me go." Zixia shook her head and spoke firmly.

"But…"

"Nothing to worry about, this is an order!"

Seeing Zixia's resolute attitude, Qingfeng had no choice but to give up and warned: "Senior sister, you must be careful!"

Zixia nodded, then turned and walked towards the cave.

She carefully sneaked into the cave, and with the faint light, she discovered that there was a cave in the cave. There was a large space inside, with various alchemy furnaces and refining tables, as well as many bottles and jars filled with unknown liquids. , the air was filled with a pungent smell of medicine.

Zixia was shocked and knew that she had guessed correctly. This place was indeed a secret stronghold of the Demon Sect. She continued deeper and came to a stone room. Through the crack in the door, she saw something inside

There were several figures sitting there, talking in low voices.

Zixia held her breath, put her ear against the door, and listened carefully to the conversation inside.

"...This time the plan is foolproof. As long as we refine the 'Hua Gong Powder', we can catch all the hypocrites of the righteous path!"

"Haha, then the whole world will be ours!"

Hearing this, Zixia was shocked. She finally knew the true purpose of the Demon Cult! It turns out that they want to use "Hua Gong Powder" to deal with Zhengdao!
