Chapter 773 The Real Crisis

The black fog dissipated, and the figures of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong appeared in the same place. Looking at the direction where the Black Demon Cult Leader disappeared, Gu Jiuchen's brows were full of clouds.

"He will come back." Ye Linglong's voice sounded beside Gu Jiuchen, with a bit of solemnity in her tone.

Gu Jiuchen nodded, he knew that what Ye Linglong said was right. The Black Demon Cult Leader was insidious and cunning. After escaping this time, he would definitely come back.

As expected, not long after, the news that the Black Demon Cult Leader had joined forces with other evil forces to form a powerful alliance spread throughout the cultivation world.

"Have you heard? The Black Demon Cult leader has united with the Blood Demon Palace, Ghost King Sect and other evil forces to form an organization called the 'Demon League', threatening to wipe out the righteous path and rule the world of immortal cultivation!"

"What? This Demon League is so powerful? What exactly do they want to do?"

"The Black Demon Cult leader is vicious and cruel. His comeback this time will definitely set off a bloody storm!"

For a time, the entire world of immortal cultivation was in a panic, and everyone was in danger.

In the meeting hall of the Tianxian Sect, the atmosphere was solemn.

"Elders, what do you think about the Demon League?" Gu Jiuchen sat in the main seat and glanced at the people below.

"Master, this Demon League is powerful, we have to guard against it!" Elder Li spoke first, "According to reliable information, there are at least five Mahayana masters in the Demon League, whose strength far exceeds that of our Tianxian Sect!"

"Yes, Master, we must make plans early, otherwise it will be too late when the Demon League comes to our door!" Another elder also echoed.

"Master, why don't we unite with other righteous sects to fight against the Demon Alliance together!" a young disciple suggested.

"Unite with other sects?" Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I'm afraid those people are in trouble now, how can they care about us? Instead of pinning our hopes on others, we might as well find a way ourselves." A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "The best defense is offense. We can't sit and wait for death, we must take the initiative to attack!"

Ye Linglong walked to his side, held his hand, and said firmly: "Jiuchen, tell me, what should we do? No matter what decision you make, I support you." Gu Jiuchen held her hand in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a warm current surged in his heart. He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Although the Demon Alliance is powerful, they may not be united internally. We might as well take the initiative to disrupt their deployment while they are still unstable."

"Master, what do you mean..." Elder Li seemed to understand what he meant and asked tentatively.

"The Black Demon Cult Leader is a treacherous and cunning person. After escaping this time, he will definitely strengthen his defenses." Gu Jiuchen said in a cold tone, "But there is always a loophole. He will never think that we will take the initiative to attack his lair!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The Black Demon Cult Leader's lair is located deep in the Demon Abyss. There is a dense demonic aura there and dangers are everywhere. Even the cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage dare not set foot there easily. Now that the Demon Alliance has just been established, the Black Demon Cult Leader must have concentrated most of his power there. If you want to sneak in, it is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"Master, this is too dangerous!" Elder Li said worriedly, "The depths of the Demonic Abyss are extremely dangerous. If we go there rashly, I'm afraid..."

"I know." Gu Jiuchen interrupted him, his eyes firm, "But this is our only chance. Only by getting rid of the Black Demon Cult Leader can we completely disintegrate the Demonic Alliance and restore peace to the world of immortal cultivation." His eyes were like torches, sweeping over everyone present, "This journey is dangerous, I won't force you, those who are willing to go with me, follow me into the Demonic Abyss and kill the demon!"

"We are willing to advance and retreat with the Master!" Everyone responded in unison, and the sound shook the hall. They are all elite disciples of the Tianxian Sect, and they have long put life and death aside. Now that the demons are rampant and the righteous path is declining, they, as immortal cultivators, naturally have to stand up and protect this world.

Three days later, a team composed of dozens of elite disciples of the Tianxian Sect quietly left the Tianxian Sect and headed towards the Demonic Abyss. They wore night clothes, concealed their figures, and took every step carefully, fearing that they would alarm the eyes and ears of the demons. The two people in the lead were Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong. They had a stern look, a firm gaze, and an indomitable and resolute aura.

In the depths of the Demon Abyss, there is a thick black fog all year round, with howling winds, ghosts crying and wolves howling, as if it is the gate to hell. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong led the disciples of the Tianxian Sect and walked through it carefully, and every step was extremely difficult. They had been lurking for several days and finally approached the nest of the Black Demon Cult Master - a gloomy and terrifying Demon Palace.

"Everyone be careful, the Black Demon Palace is ahead, and everyone cheer up!" Gu Jiuchen lowered his voice and reminded everyone. The disciples nodded one after another, holding the magic weapons in their hands tightly, and observing the surroundings with vigilance.

However, just as they were about to approach the gate of the Demon Palace, a strong pressure suddenly descended and enveloped them.

"Who dares to trespass into my territory!" A roar was deafening, black fog rolled, and a tall figure slowly walked out of the Demon Palace, emitting a suffocating demonic aura.

"Black Demon Cult Leader!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes fixed and he said in a deep voice.

The Black Demon Cult Leader smiled grimly, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, "You righteous hypocrites, you dare to take the initiative to deliver yourself to my door, you are really courting death!"

"Demon, stop being so arrogant, today is your death day!" Gu Jiuchen shouted angrily, drew his sword out of its sheath, and a sharp sword energy rushed straight to the Black Demon Cult Leader. Ye Linglong followed closely, offering a magic weapon, and fought with the Black Demon Cult Leader.

For a moment, there were shouts of killing Zhentian in front of the Demon Palace, and the light of the magic weapon cut through the darkness, illuminating the area like daylight. The disciples of Tianxian Sect also joined the battle one after another, fighting to the death with the protectors of the Black Demon Cult Leader.

During the fierce battle, Gu Jiuchen and the Black Demon Cult Leader clashed fiercely. Both of them were masters in the tribulation stage. Every move contained the power to destroy the world. The surrounding space continued to collapse, and the scene was horrifying.

"Gu Jiuchen, you can't escape today!" The Black Demon Cult Leader roared angrily, and a black blade shot out from the magic knife in his hand, which went straight to Gu Jiuchen's chest.

"Jiuchen, be careful!" Ye Linglong exclaimed and wanted to step forward to help, but was entangled by two demon cultivators and unable to escape.

At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Gu Jiuchen, and he took the fatal blow from the Black Demon Leader.

"Xuanfeng!" Gu Jiuchen's pupils suddenly shrank, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Xuanfeng's mouth, and his face was as pale as paper, but he showed a relieved smile to Gu Jiuchen, "Brother, I'm sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, Xuanfeng's body turned into dots of starlight and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"No!" Gu Jiuchen let out a grief-stricken roar, and his eyes instantly turned red. Gu Jiuchen's eyes were blood red, and he roared to the sky. A violent wave of spiritual energy burst out from his body, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart. He rushed towards the Black Demon Cult Leader like a madman, the sword in his hand turned into afterimages, and every blow contained the power to destroy the world.

The leader of the Dark Demon was startled by Gu Jiuchen's sudden outburst. He hurriedly raised his knife to resist, but was shocked back and forth, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it!" The Dark Demon Cult Master cursed in his heart. He knew it would be difficult to win today, so he made a feint, turned around and ran away.

"Want to escape? It's not that easy!" Gu Jiuchen shouted angrily, and then chased after him in a flash.

"Jiuchen, stop chasing me!" Ye Linglong saw this and shouted quickly. She knew that Gu Jiuchen had lost his mind at this moment and only had hatred in his heart. If he were to pursue her, she might be in danger.

However, Gu Jiuchen couldn't hear anything at this moment. His eyes were red and he looked like a madman. He only wanted to kill the Black Demon Cult Leader and avenge Xuanfeng.

"Stop him!" Ye Linglong had no choice but to order the disciples of Tianxian Sect to stop him.

However, Gu Jiuchen's strength surged at this moment, and those disciples were no match for him. They were all knocked away by his moves one by one.

"Alas..." Elder Li sighed after seeing this. He knew that Gu Jiuchen could no longer listen to any advice at this moment, and could only hope that he could regain his sense as soon as possible.

"Let's go!" The Black Demon Cult Leader took advantage of this opportunity and escaped from the Demon Abyss with his remaining subordinates.

The Demonic Abyss regained its calm once again, but the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and unbreakable sadness.

Ye Linglong came to the place where Xuanfeng disappeared and looked at the pool of bright red blood on the ground, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Xuanfeng, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't protect you..." Ye Linglong choked and said.

"Master Wife, it's not your fault, it's because the devil is too cunning..." A Tianxian Sect disciple comforted.

"Yes, Senior Wife, don't blame yourself too much. Senior Brother doesn't want to see you like this either..." Another disciple also said.

Ye Linglong shook her head. She knew that no matter whose fault it was, Xuanfeng could never come back.

"Jiuchen..." Ye Linglong raised her head and looked in the direction where Gu Jiuchen disappeared, her eyes full of worry.

"Sect Master..." Elder Li hesitated, and he didn't know how to comfort Ye Linglong.

At this moment, there was a violent fluctuation of spiritual power in the distance, and then, a figure fell from the sky and fell heavily to the ground.

"Jiuchen!" Ye Linglong exclaimed and ran over quickly.

I saw Gu Jiuchen lying on the ground, covered in blood and with weak breath. He was obviously seriously injured.

"Jiuchen, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Ye Linglong hugged Gu Jiuchen and shouted anxiously.

However, Gu Jiuchen didn't react at all. His eyes were closed tightly, as if he had lost consciousness...
