Chapter 776 Despair

After Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong entered the abyss, what awaited them was not hope, but a more terrible enemy. The two fought hard and finally escaped, but Gu Jiuchen was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

Ye Linglong guarded Gu Jiuchen day and night, healing him, hoping that he could open his eyes. She kept sending spiritual power, hoping to wake him up, but Gu Jiuchen's face was still as pale as paper, without any sign of improvement.

"Jiuchen, wake up! Don't leave me alone..." Ye Linglong held Gu Jiuchen's hand, tears could not stop falling. However, there was only endless silence in response to her.

The news that Gu Jiuchen was seriously injured and unconscious spread quickly throughout the Tianxian Sect like wings. For a time, people were panicked, and cracks appeared within the originally united sect.

Zhao Wuji saw this opportunity and was secretly happy. He spread rumors that Gu Jiuchen was dead, and now the Tianxian Sect was leaderless, it was a good time for him to replace him. Some disciples who were not determined and dissatisfied with Gu Jiuchen began to waver, and even publicly questioned Ye Linglong's ability and asked her to give up the position of the leader.

At the same time, the Black Demon Cult leader who was lurking in the dark also got the news. He smiled grimly, and his low voice echoed in the hall: "Gu Jiuchen, you have come to this day! It seems that God is helping me!"

At the command of the Black Demon Cult leader, the demon army rushed to the Tianxian Sect like a tide. The disciples of the Tianxian Sect fought hard under the leadership of Ye Linglong, but facing enemies that were several times their own, their defense line was still precarious.

"Senior sister, we can't hold on!" A disciple ran to Ye Linglong with scars all over his body and shouted anxiously.

Ye Linglong's beautiful eyes were full of bloodshot, she clenched her teeth, and swung the long sword in her hand more fiercely. Without Gu Jiuchen, she is the last pillar of the Tianxian Sect, and she can't fall down no matter what!

"Pass my order, all disciples defend the mountain gate to the death, and swear to live and die with the Tianxian Sect!" Ye Linglong's voice echoed over the battlefield, with an indomitable momentum.

However, Ye Linglong knew in her heart that the Tianxian Sect alone could not resist the offensive of the Black Demon Sect. She must seek external help!

Ye Linglong suppressed her grief and anxiety and sent a distress signal to several sects that had been friendly with the Tianxian Sect. However, what made her despair was that after these sects learned that Gu Jiuchen was seriously injured and unconscious, and the Tianxian Sect was in danger, they all chose to stand by and watch.

"Master Ye, it's not that we don't want to help, but the Black Demon Sect is so powerful that we really dare not provoke it!"

"Master Gu has always been righteous, and now his life and death are uncertain, and we are also deeply sorry. But this matter is really beyond our reach, and I hope Master Ye will forgive me!"

Listening to these high-sounding excuses, Ye Linglong felt cold in her heart. She finally understood how fragile the so-called morality and friendship were in the face of absolute interests.

Ye Linglong was heartbroken with no one to turn to for help. Could it be that she really had to watch the Tianxian Sect destroyed? She was unwilling to accept it and didn't want to believe that this was the end. But what else could she do except to hold on?

Just then, a petite figure sneaked into the Tianxian Sect. The person who came was Zhao Wuji's sister, Zhao Linger. She had loved Gu Jiuchen since she was a child. When she learned that her brother had taken advantage of the situation and killed Gu Jiuchen, she was shocked and angry. She couldn't sit idly by, and she didn't want to see Gu Jiuchen and the Tianxian Sect fall into such a situation.

Zhao Linger found Ye Linglong who was in trouble and told her everything she knew. Her eyes were red and she choked up as she said, "Sister Ye, I know my brother did something wrong. I apologize to you and Brother Gu on his behalf. Please, let me do my best to atone for my brother's sins!"

Ye Linglong looked at the kind-hearted girl in front of her with mixed feelings. She shouldn't have involved Zhao Linger in this dispute, but now the Tianxian Sect is at the end of its strength and urgently needs external support. Ye Linglong took a deep breath and said, "Linger, I am very grateful that you are willing to help me. But you also have to understand what it means to be an enemy of your brother."

Zhao Linger nodded firmly, "I'm not afraid! As long as I can help Brother Gu, I'm willing to do anything!"

In this way, Zhao Linger, relying on her understanding of the internal affairs of the Tianxian Sect, secretly passed on information to Ye Linglong and disintegrated Zhao Wuji's power. She also persuaded some elders who were at odds with Zhao Wuji to stop supporting Zhao Wuji's conspiracy. With the help of Zhao Linger, the situation in the Tianxian Sect temporarily stabilized, and Ye Linglong finally had a chance to breathe.

However, Ye Linglong knew that this was only a stopgap measure. Zhao Wuji was only temporarily suppressed, and the threat of the Black Demon Cult still existed. The only hope to completely turn the tide was that Gu Jiuchen could wake up.

She sat alone by the bed, her slender fingers gently stroking Gu Jiuchen's pale cheek, and the sadness in her eyes poured out like a flood. The room was terribly quiet, with only her suppressed sobs echoing in the air.

"Jiuchen, wake up, look at me, look at our Tianxian Sect..." Ye Linglong's voice was hoarse and weak. She wanted him to open his eyes, even if it was just to look at her and tell her that all this was not true.

However, she was only responded to by endless silence.

Zhao Wuji's betrayal and the invasion of the Black Demon Cult were like mountains that pressed her to the point of suffocation. She knew she had to be strong, and she couldn't fall down for Gu Jiuchen and Tianxian Sect.

But where was the light of hope?

At this moment, a powerful spiritual power wave came from afar, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the entire Tianxian Sect trembled violently. Ye Linglong's face changed, knowing that the Black Demon Sect had launched a general attack.

She stood up suddenly, with a flash of determination in her eyes.

"Jiuchen, I won't let them succeed. Even if I risk my life, I will protect you and the Tianxian Sect!"

Ye Linglong turned around resolutely, holding the long sword in her hand tightly, and rushed to the battlefield without hesitation.

In the distance, the Black Demon Sect leader looked at the Tianxian Sect shrouded in black fog, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Gu Jiuchen, your era is over! From now on, this world will be dominated by my Black Demon Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword light suddenly fell from the sky and slashed fiercely in his direction.

"Who?!"

The Black Demon Sect leader's face changed slightly, and he quickly waved the black magic wand in his hand to resist.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the Black Demon Cult Leader was knocked back several steps, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Ye Linglong? How could you..."

The smoke dissipated, and Ye Linglong's figure appeared in front of the Black Demon Cult Leader. She was dressed in white, holding a long sword, and exuding a cold murderous aura, like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descending to the earth, making people dare not look at her.

"Black Demon Cult Leader, today I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!"
