Chapter 806: Secret Efforts

In the valley, the black shadow gradually solidified, revealing a sinister face. It was Bai Wuchang, the protector of the Demon Cult. He looked at the direction in which Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were leaving, and sneered: "If you don't overestimate your capabilities, you will fall into a trap!" Then, he made a secret in his hand, and a transmission note flew out and disappeared into the sky.

A few days later, Gu Jiuchen, Ye Linglong, Mingyue, and Xuan Yu disguised themselves and sneaked into Qingyun City, which was within the demon sect's influence. In order not to alert the enemy, they split up and collected intelligence secretly.

Ye Linglong was dressed in men's clothing, holding a folding fan, and looked like a handsome young man. She mingled in restaurants and teahouses. With her exquisite thinking and eloquent tongue, she soon learned a lot about the mysticism from some casual cultivators. News of the wind.

"Have you heard? After Xuanfeng betrayed the Tianxian Sect, he is now prosperous in the Demon Sect. I heard that the leader of the Demon Sect favors him and betrothed his adopted daughter to him!" In the middle, a big man with a beard was drunk and said loudly.

"Isn't that right! That Xuanfeng is really lucky to be able to climb the big tree of the Demon Sect. It's really enviable and jealous!" Another thin man agreed.

Ye Linglong listened calmly, but secretly thought in her heart: It seems that Xuanfeng's status in the Demon Sect is not low, and it may not be that easy to deal with him.

Just as she was about to leave the restaurant, she suddenly heard a whisper from the next table. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully, and she suddenly felt happy.

"Have you heard? There seems to be some conflict between Xuanfeng and the leader of the Demon Cult..."

Ye Linglong's heart moved and she quietly moved closer, wanting to hear more clearly.

"I heard that although Xuanfeng looks good on the surface, in fact, people in the Demon Cult do not trust him and are always on guard. His life is not satisfactory."

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Don't say such nonsense. If someone from the Demon Cult hears it, your life will be in danger!"

Ye Linglong was secretly happy. It seemed that Xuanfeng was not monolithic within the Demon Sect. Perhaps this could be used to disintegrate his power.

At the same time, Mingyue also used her connections to spread negative news about Xuanfeng in the world. She knew very well that the power of public opinion should not be underestimated. As long as she could portray Xuanfeng as an ungrateful and despicable person who betrayed his master, his reputation in the world would be greatly weakened and he would become the target of public criticism.

"Dear heroes, do you know why Xuan Feng betrayed the Tianxian Sect? Wasn't it because he was greedy for glory and wealth and was deceived by the sugar-coated bullets of the Demon Sect!" Mingyue appeared in a teahouse in a fancy outfit and said indignantly.

"It is said that in order to please the Demon Sect, Xuanfeng did not hesitate to betray his disciples and leaked many secrets of the Tianxian Sect to the Demon Sect. It is an unforgivable crime!" Mingyue said vividly, and everyone around him was filled with indignation and criticized Xuanfeng. .

On the other side, Xuan Yu traveled among the various sects, informing them of the Demon Cult's plot and urging them to join forces to fight against the Demon Cult.

"Masters, the demon sect has made a comeback this time with great force, and its ambitions are obvious. If we don't join forces, we may really be defeated by them individually!" Xuan Yu persuaded earnestly.

"What Taoist Master Xuan Yu said is absolutely true. The Demon Sect's actions this time have seriously threatened the safety of the entire martial arts world. We must unite to fight against the Demon Sect!" Master Huijue, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, was the first to express his stance.

"We, the Wudang Sect, are willing to fight side by side with the Tianxian Sect and defend the right path of the martial arts to the death!" Taoist Master Chongxu, the head of the Wudang Sect, also stood up to support.

With the two major sects of Shaolin and Wudang joining, other sects also responded and expressed their willingness to join forces to fight against the demon sect. For a time, the entire martial arts world was mobilized, and a powerful force was quietly gathering. When the time was right, it would give the Demon Sect a head-on attack.

Gu Jiuchen was dressed in black night clothes, and his figure was like a ghost walking on the roof of the Demon Sect's main altar. His hawk-like eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for any clues. The Demon Sect's main altar was heavily guarded, and there were patrolling disciples everywhere, but these could not stop Gu Jiuchen. With his superb cultivation and rich experience, he can always cleverly avoid everyone's sight, coming and going as freely as a ghost.

A remote courtyard caught Gu Jiuchen's attention. This courtyard looks ordinary, but there is a hidden barrier around it, obviously to hide some secrets. Gu Jiuchen's heart moved and he decided to take the risk to find out. He sneaked into the barrier quietly and found that there was a cave in the courtyard. The entrance to a deep underground secret room suddenly appeared in front of you, and a cold breath came from the secret room, which made people shudder. Gu Jiuchen thought to himself: "It seems that this is the hiding place of the traitor Xuanfeng!" He took a deep breath and carefully sneaked into the secret room.

A few days later, the four of them gathered in a secret teahouse outside the city. Mingyue spoke first, with a bit of excitement in her tone: "I have successfully spread the negative news about Xuanfeng. Now the whole world is talking about his evil deeds. I believe it won't be long before he becomes a street rat. Everyone Shout out!"

Xuan Yu also continued: "I have contacted several major sects such as Shaolin and Wudang, and they have all expressed their willingness to join forces with us to fight against the Demon Sect. I believe that with their help, we will definitely achieve the final victory!"

Ye Linglong shook the teacup in her hand gently, with a wise light shining in her beautiful eyes: "I found out that although Xuanfeng seems to have unlimited glory on the surface, in fact, people in the Demon Cult do not trust him, and his subordinates do not have the same power. Stable, we can use this to dismantle his power from within.”

After listening to the reports of the three people, Gu Jiuchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. He took out a sheepskin map from his arms, spread it on the table, pointed to a mark on the map and said: "I accidentally discovered this, Xuanfeng's training place. It is full of traps, easy to defend but difficult to defend." Attack, we can just take advantage of this and use it to our advantage..."

Gu Jiuchen raised his sword eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Xuanfeng's cultivation technique is extremely domineering, and it needs to continuously absorb the evil energy to improve, and this place..." He pointed to the mark on the map, "It is within a hundred miles radius. The place where the inner Yin energy is the strongest!”

Ye Linglong's beautiful eyes lit up and she said, "You mean, we can use this to set up a trap and lure Xuanfeng into taking the bait?"

"Not bad." Gu Jiuchen nodded, "We can..."

He was about to elaborate on his plan when suddenly, the door of the teahouse was pushed open and a mysterious man in a black cloak flashed in. This mysterious man was tall and his face was hidden under his cloak, only revealing a pair of eyes as deep as stars.

The four people were startled and stood up in unison, staring at the visitor warily.

"Who are you?" Gu Jiuchen asked coldly.

The mysterious man ignored Gu Jiuchen's question and just said in a low and hoarse voice: "Be careful, Xuanfeng is not the only enemy." After that, he turned and left, and his figure disappeared into the night, as if he had never appeared before.

The four of them looked at each other, filled with doubts and uneasiness.

"Who is he? Why do you need to remind us?" Mingyue was the first to break the silence.

"Is there anyone else besides Xuanfeng who is secretly dealing with us?" Xuanyu frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Ye Linglong's beautiful eyes flickered and she said thoughtfully, "Maybe he knows something that we don't know."

Gu Jiuchen remained silent, with the mysterious man's words "Xuanfeng is not the only enemy" echoing in his mind, and he vaguely felt in his heart that a bigger storm was coming. He suddenly raised his head and said with firm eyes: "No matter what, we must be fully prepared to face the upcoming challenges!"

However, they didn't know that the appearance of this mysterious man was just the beginning...
