Chapter 642 Undercurrents, Joining Forces to Fight the Enemy

Gu Jiuchen's words were like a sharp blade of ice, instantly bringing the atmosphere in the hall to a freezing point.

The eyes of the black-robed envoy under the mask flickered slightly, as if he was weighing something, but he soon returned to his previous respectful attitude.

"Master Gu, you are too serious. Although my Zhao family is in the Void Realm, we have always valued peace, and we deeply regret the fate of the Gu family. This alliance is out of sincerity, and we hope to work with the Tianxian Sect to achieve a great cause and revive the power of the ancient family." The envoy spoke earnestly, trying to dispel Gu Jiuchen's doubts.

Gu Jiuchen's eyes were deep, as if he was peeping into the truth behind the envoy's words.

He slowly stood up and walked to the center of the hall. With his back to the messenger, he spoke in a deep and powerful voice: "The grievances between Kongming Territory and Tianxian Sect have not been cold in a day. Since your Zhao family intends to form an alliance, you must show enough sincerity."

The messenger heard this and took out a jade slip emitting a faint glow from his arms and presented it with both hands: "This is the proof of my Zhao family's sincerity. It records some secret information about the Yun family and other ancient families. I believe it will be of great benefit to Tianxian Sect."

Gu Jiuchen took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense. He saw that the information was detailed, and there were many secrets that he didn't even know.

If this information is true, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength and judgment of Tianxian Sect.

He was secretly shocked, but his face remained calm. He put away the jade slip and said lightly: "I will verify the intelligence. As for the alliance, we need to discuss it with the elders of our sect before making a decision."

The messenger nodded to show his understanding, and then made another request: "In this case, my Zhao family is willing to send a few masters to assist the Tianxian Sect in guarding the sect to show sincerity. I wonder what Master Gu thinks?"

Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let a few masters stay and guard this land together."

He knew very well that in the world of cultivation, strength and allies are equally important. If the Zhao family really helps, it will be a force that cannot be ignored.

With the departure of the messenger, the Tianxian Sect returned to peace again, but Gu Jiuchen's heart was filled with ripples.

He knew very well that behind this sudden alliance, there must be unknown secrets.

For the sake of his family and the future of the Tianxian Sect, he must act cautiously and step by step.

A few days later, the Tianxian Sect Elders held a meeting to discuss the alliance with the Zhao family of Kongming Domain.

At the meeting, Gu Jiuchen showed the intelligence provided by the Zhao family one by one, which triggered a heated discussion among the elders.

"If this information is true, our Tianxian Sect can make arrangements in advance to fight against ancient families such as the Yun family." An elder said excitedly.

"But Kongming Domain and our sect have always had grievances, and this alliance may be a fraud." Another elder seemed quite cautious.

Gu Jiuchen looked around at the elders and said in a deep voice: "What you said is very true, but in the world of cultivation, opportunities and risks coexist. Since I, Gu Jiuchen, have embarked on the road to reviving the family, I have nothing to fear. If the Zhao family sincerely helps, we should treat them with sincerity; if they have ill intentions, our Tianxian Sect is not a soft persimmon to be squeezed."

In the end, the elders unanimously agreed to form an alliance with the Zhao family of Kongming Domain, but at the same time strengthened vigilance to prevent accidents.

Gu Jiuchen personally selected several capable disciples to monitor the every move of the Zhao family masters and ensure the safety of the sect.

However, just when the alliance was settled, a more powerful force quietly approached the Tianxian Sect.

This force was exactly what Gu Jiuchen had been vigilant about - the mysterious force that had participated in the destruction of the Gu family.

Faced with the sudden crisis, Gu Jiuchen did not choose to retreat, but stepped forward and led the Tianxian Sect to fight a desperate battle with this mysterious force.

In this battle, he not only had to protect the sect, but also uncovered that dusty history and cleared the grievances of the family.

And what role did the Zhao family of Kongmingyu play in this storm? Did they really help or did they have other intentions? Everything will be revealed in the next battle.

The stars were hidden, but the lights in the Tianxian Sect were bright, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Gu Jiuchen stood on the top of the sect, his eyes penetrated the heavy night, as if he could see the center of the coming storm.

Beside him, several elders looked grim, each with their own thoughts, but they all kept silent tacitly, waiting for the upcoming turning point of fate.

"Master, the mysterious force has approached the border. According to the spies, its strength is far beyond our imagination." An elder in charge of intelligence hurried forward, with a bit of uneasiness in his voice.

Gu Jiuchen frowned, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: "Pass the order down, activate all the defense formations of the sect, and the disciples must be on guard. At the same time, send more people to monitor the masters of the Zhao family, and report any disturbance immediately."

"Yes!" The elder took the order and left, with a firm step, but it was difficult to hide the worry in his heart.

The night wind blew on his face, bringing a bit of coolness, but Gu Jiuchen's thoughts were surging like a tide.

He knew very well that this was not just a contest of strength, but also a game of wisdom and strategy.

The Zhao family, this sudden ally, had a real intention behind it, so he had to guard against it.

Just as Gu Jiuchen was deep in thought, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts. "Master, the envoy of the Zhao family wants to see you, saying that he has brought important news." A disciple knelt on the ground and reported respectfully.

Gu Jiuchen was slightly startled, and then said coldly: "Let him in."

The black-robed envoy stepped into the hall again, and his eyes under the mask flashed with complex light.

Before he could salute, he said anxiously: "Master Gu, our Zhao family has discovered that the mysterious force was one of the culprits who destroyed the Gu family many years ago. Their purpose of coming back this time is self-evident. Our Zhao family is willing to fight side by side with the Tianxian Sect to resist the powerful enemy together."

Gu Jiuchen looked at the messenger with a sharp gaze: "Since your Zhao family knows such secrets, why did you tell me now?"

The messenger sighed slightly, as if he had something to hide: "To be honest, our Zhao family was also threatened by that mysterious force, but we have been forbearing. But now, the situation is urgent, and our Zhao family is unwilling to sit idly by, and we are even more unwilling to let the Tianxian Sect repeat the mistakes of the Gu family."

Gu Jiuchen heard this and thought secretly in his heart. Although he was still wary of the Zhao family, the situation was critical at the moment, and more strength meant more chances of winning.

So, he nodded slowly: "Okay, I will trust you for now. But remember, if I find out that you have any ulterior motives, my Tianxian Sect will not show mercy."

The envoy bowed to show his sincerity. Afterwards, the two sides urgently discussed countermeasures and deployed a battle plan.

In the Tianxian Sect, people were panicked for a while, but they were closely united because of the common enemy.

The moon was hanging in the sky, and the silver light was all over the earth. Under the command of Gu Jiuchen, the coalition forces of the Tianxian Sect and the Zhao family had made all preparations.

However, in this seemingly calm night, an undercurrent was quietly surging.

"Master, I found that several of the masters of the Zhao family behaved abnormally and seemed to have some contact with the outside world." A disciple in charge of monitoring ran over in a hurry, his face pale.

Gu Jiuchen was startled and immediately summoned several trusted elders to discuss.

"Does the Zhao family really have other plans?" He asked in a deep voice.

The elders looked at each other and could not make a decision for a while.

Finally, an elderly elder slowly spoke: "Master, we should not act rashly at this moment. If the Zhao family really has ulterior motives, we should be more careful to avoid alerting the enemy."

Gu Jiuchen nodded, with a cold and stern look in his eyes: "Pass the order down, strengthen the surveillance of the Zhao family's masters, and secretly mobilize elite forces at the same time, just in case."

The night deepened, and the eve of the decisive battle was always so long and tormenting.

Gu Jiuchen stood alone in front of the sect's forbidden area, holding the jade slip given by the Zhao family in his hand, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The information in this jade slip is not only a weapon for him to fight against the enemy, but it may also become the fuse for him to fall into a trap.

"No matter what, I can't let the Tianxian Sect repeat the same mistakes." He swore secretly, with a flash of determination in his eyes.
