Chapter 928 Obstacles
A wry smile appeared on Ye Linglong's pale face. She gently pushed Gu Jiuchen's hand away and said weakly: "I'm fine, it's just the effect of this medicine..."
Before she finished speaking, she coughed violently, and even a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
"Linglong!" Gu Jiuchen's heart ached, and he quickly circulated his true energy to suppress the cold poison running through her body.
Zixia and Qingfeng were also panicked. They had never seen Ye Linglong look so weak, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.
"What Master Xuan Bing said makes sense." Elder Lin pondered for a moment and said slowly, "'Linglong Zui' is weird and unpredictable, and we know too little about it. Perhaps, we need to re-study the formula of the antidote and target 'Linglong Drunk'. drunk' characteristics."
"But..." Qingfeng said anxiously, "Senior Sister Linglong's body can't wait much longer. If it continues to be delayed, I'm afraid..."
"Qingfeng!" Zixia scolded softly, but the worry in her eyes was no less than that of Qingfeng.
Gu Jiuchen was silent. He held Ye Linglong's hand tightly, his eyes firm and persistent. He knew that now was not the time to get into trouble, he had to stay calm and find a solution to the problem.
"Elder Lin, you immediately summon all the disciples who are proficient in medical skills and elixirs, and do your best to study the characteristics of 'Linglong Drunkenness', and be sure to find a way to crack it as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Sect Master!" Elder Lin took the order and left.
Gu Jiuchen glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I believe that there is no poison in this world that cannot be solved, and there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome. As long as we work together, we will be able to save Linglong!"
His words were firm and powerful, like a shot in the arm, injecting everyone into
people's hearts.
However, at this moment, a strange aura quietly filled the air. Everyone felt their hearts sink, as if they were being oppressed by some invisible force, and breathing became difficult.
"What's going on?" Gu Jiuchen's face changed slightly, and he was keenly aware of the abnormality in this aura.
"This breath..." Xuan Bing frowned, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "It seems to be some kind of powerful energy fluctuation, but it doesn't seem to come from the Demon Cult..."
"Could it be..." A terrible thought suddenly came to Gu Jiuchen's heart, "Could it be that someone is secretly obstructing us?"
This mysterious energy wave comes and goes quickly, but it is like an invisible shadow that hangs over everyone's hearts and lingers.
The mystery of the antidote's failure has not yet been solved, and a new crisis has quietly arrived. What force is secretly controlling all this? How will Gu Jiuchen and his partners deal with these challenges?
After the mysterious energy fluctuations dissipated, the atmosphere in the hall became more solemn. The shadow of the antidote's failure has not yet dissipated, and the emergence of this strange force has undoubtedly made matters worse. The heads and elders of the righteous sects looked at each other with different expressions, obviously full of doubts and uneasiness about the predicament before them.
"This is something strange. That power is by no means ordinary. We must not take it lightly." The speaker was an old man wearing a green Taoist robe. He had a childlike face and fair hair. He was the leader of the Kunlun Sect, Master Taiqing.
"What the head of Taiqing said is absolutely true," a heroic woman in a fiery red dress also stood up and said, "In my opinion, the top priority is to find out the source of this power, otherwise even if a new solution is developed,
There is no guarantee that the medicine will not fail again. "She is the Flame Fairy, the leader of the Shushan Sect, with a fiery temperament and a quick talk.
"But..." A middle-aged man with an elegant face looked troubled, "Miss Linglong's poison cannot be delayed. If we suspend the development of the antidote, what if..." He is the leader of the Diancang Sect, Master Yuxu, and he has always been Putting benevolence and righteousness first, she naturally didn't want to see Ye Linglong suffer any accident due to delay.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and there were differences within the Righteous Alliance. Some people advocate suspending the development of antidotes and solving the problem of energy interference first; others advocate continuing to try to avoid delaying the opportunity. Both sides insist on their own opinions, and no one can convince the other.
Gu Jiuchen saw all this and felt extremely anxious. He knew that the longer time passed, the greater the danger to Linglong. However, he also understood that if that mysterious power was left alone, not only would the antidote fail to be successfully developed, but it might even bring about a greater disaster.
"Everyone," Ye Linglong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Although her face was pale, her tone was extremely firm, "I have made up my mind. The development of the antidote cannot be stopped. Let Jiuchen investigate the interference. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Ye Linglong. Gu Jiuchen was even more shocked. He held Ye Linglong's hand tightly and said distressedly: "Linglong, you..."
Ye Linglong held Gu Jiuchen's hand with her backhand, gave him a reassuring look, and then turned to everyone and said, "I know my own body well, and I can still hold on. Jiuchen, I believe you can definitely check it out." Keep everyone safe.”
Although her tone was weak, it was
Full of unquestionable power. Gu Jiuchen knew that he could not refuse her request, nor could he live up to her trust.
"Okay, I promise you." Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and said firmly, "I will definitely find out and give you an explanation."
Thus, a separate operation began. Gu Jiuchen led a group of people and began to investigate the source of energy interference; while Ye Linglong led another group of people to continue optimizing the antidote formula.
The investigation process was extremely difficult. Gu Jiuchen visited multiple sects and consulted a large number of ancient books, but he never found any records about the mysterious power. Just when he was at a loss, by chance, he discovered that the time when the energy interference appeared seemed to coincide with the time when the Demon Cult held some ancient ritual.
Could it be said that this power is related to the Demon Cult? This thought flashed through Gu Jiuchen's mind, making him feel uneasy. He decided to investigate in depth and uncover this mysterious veil as soon as possible.
The uneasiness in Gu Jiuchen's heart became stronger and stronger, lingering like a dark cloud over the city. Demon Cult, these two words were both familiar and unfamiliar to him. What was familiar was that the fight against the Demonic Cult had never stopped over the years; what was unfamiliar was that he had never seen such weird energy fluctuations, and this was by no means a common method of the Demonic Cult.
He summoned several elders from the Tianxian Sect, as well as masters from the Righteous Alliance who were proficient in formations and Qimen Dunjia, to analyze the patterns and characteristics of energy fluctuations. Everyone thought hard for several days and finally found a clue from the vast sea of ancient books.
"Sect Master, look at this!" Elder Lin pointed to a record in an ancient book and said
There was a bit of surprise in the air, "The 'Blood Moon Altar' described above seems to be somewhat similar to the situation we encountered."
Gu Jiuchen took the ancient book and studied it carefully. The book records that the Demon Cult has an extremely evil ritual called the "Blood Moon Altar", which requires the blood of living people to be used as a guide to summon the power of the ancient demon gods on a full moon night, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the aura of heaven and earth.
"Blood Moon Altar..." Gu Jiuchen frowned and had a vague guess in his heart. Could it be that the Demonic Cult is conducting this forbidden ritual, and that mysterious energy fluctuation is exactly what is produced by the ritual?
He raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly. I decided to go to the Demon Sect's territory to find out what happened in person. The elders will stay with the Tianxian Sect and must protect Linglong's safety."
"Sect Master, you must not do this!" Elder Lin hurriedly dissuaded him, "The Demon Cult has many tricks, and it is too dangerous for you to go here!"
Other elders also tried to dissuade her, but Gu Jiuchen had made up his mind. He said with firm eyes: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more. I care about Linglong's safety more than anyone else."
After that, he ignored everyone's dissuasion and turned around and walked out of the hall. He knew that time was running out and he had to find out the truth as soon as possible and stop the devil's conspiracy.
At the same time, Ye Linglong was also busy working on the antidote. Although she was weak, she refused to stop for a moment. She flipped through various medical books and tried various combinations of medicinal materials, hoping to find a substance that could neutralize the mysterious energy.
"Linglong, you'd better take a rest. Your body won't be able to bear it if this continues.
of. "Zixia looked at Ye Linglong's increasingly thin face and said distressedly.
"I'm fine, senior sister." Ye Linglong shook her head and said firmly, "I must find a solution. I can't let Jiuchen down, nor can I let everyone down."
At this moment, Qingfeng suddenly exclaimed: "Linglong, what do you think this is?!"
