Chapter 805 Awakening Determination
Ye Linglong ran all the way with Gu Jiuchen in her arms. She didn't know how long she ran until the sky was pale. She stopped panting. Looking back, the cave behind her had disappeared, leaving only a vast sea of forest.
She found a secluded valley and gently put Gu Jiuchen down. His face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and his breathing was rapid. He was obviously still in great pain. Ye Linglong didn't dare to neglect it. She immediately sat cross-legged and slowly injected her spiritual power into his body, hoping to help him calm the disordered breath in his body.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jiuchen finally slowly opened his eyes. He looked around blankly, as if he hadn't realized where he was.
"Jiuchen, how do you feel?" Ye Linglong asked worriedly.
Gu Jiuchen didn't answer. He struggled to sit up and his eyes fell on the sky in the distance. At this time, the east was already pale, dyeing half of the sky a light orange-red.
Looking at the promising morning glow, Gu Jiuchen suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. He once thought that he would never see this beautiful scenery again, and that his life had completely fallen into the abyss. But now, he is still alive, and he can still feel the warm sunshine, all of which makes him feel extremely precious.
"I'm fine." He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Ye Linglong, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "I made you worry."
Seeing that he finally returned to normal, Ye Linglong finally felt relieved. She took out a handkerchief from her arms, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly: "I'm glad you're okay. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
Gu Jiuchen nodded gently and watched Ye Linglong leave. He looked at her back with a complex and deep look in his eyes, and his heart was full of gratitude and guilt.
Not long after, Ye Linglong came back with a steaming hot breakfast. The two sat on the ground, eating and chatting. Unlike the previous lightheartedness, this time, the topic they talked about was heavier and more profound.
"Linglong, you said... can I still return to Tianxian Sect?" Gu Jiuchen suddenly asked, with a hint of confusion and uncertainty in his tone. Ye Linglong was slightly startled, then held his hand and said firmly: "Of course! You are the leader of Tianxian Sect, and you are Gu Jiuchen admired by everyone. No one can deny your identity!"
Gu Jiuchen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But now, how many people in Tianxian Sect still believe in me? How many people are willing to follow me?"
"I believe!" Ye Linglong answered without hesitation, "I have always believed in you! Jiuchen, have you forgotten? When you saved me, I said that I would follow you all my life and never betray you!"
Gu Jiuchen felt warm in his heart, held her hand with his backhand, and his eyes were more determined: "Linglong, thank you, thank you for always believing in me."
At this moment, a sword light fell from the sky and landed steadily in front of the two. The man who came was dressed in green and had a handsome face. He was Gu Jiuchen's long-time friend and a well-known righteous master in the martial arts world - Xuan Yu.
"Brother Xuan Yu, why are you here?" Gu Jiuchen asked in surprise.
Xuan Yu's face was solemn, and he said anxiously: "Brother Jiuchen, I'm so glad you're okay! I heard that you were harmed by the demons of the Demon Cult, so I came to help you!"
"I'm fine." Gu Jiuchen shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"It was Miss Linglong who sent me a message and asked me to come and meet you." Xuan Yu said, turning his gaze to Ye Linglong, his eyes full of gratitude, "Miss Linglong, thank you for notifying me in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Ye Linglong smiled slightly: "Brother Xuan Yu is polite, you and I are Jiuchen's friends, and we should help each other."
"By the way," Xuan Yu's face was stern, and he said in a heavy tone, "Brother Jiuchen, I also brought a piece of news this time. The Demon Cult has been more and more rampant recently. They..."
Xuan Yu recounted the actions of the Demon Cult during this period of time, and Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were indignant. It turned out that during the time he was trapped, the Demon Cult not only took the opportunity to occupy a lot of Tianxian Sect's territory, but also committed evil everywhere and killed innocent people. Now the people in the martial arts world are in panic and the people are suffering.
"How can this be!" Gu Jiuchen stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and his eyes were burning with anger. "I will definitely bring these scums of the Demon Cult to justice!"
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Xuanyu, let's go back to Tianxian Sect now! I want to see how big a storm these jumping clowns can stir up!"
Ye Linglong firmly held Gu Jiuchen's hand, and his clear eyes reflected his resolute face: "Jiuchen, I believe in you! Tianxian Sect is your hard work, you can definitely revive its prestige!"
Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a touch of determination. He turned to look at Xuan Yu: "Brother Xuan Yu, what do you think of the current situation?"
Xuan Yu pondered for a moment and analyzed: "The Demon Cult is coming with great force this time, and it is obvious that they are well prepared. Now that they are in full swing, we should not confront them head-on. In my opinion, the most urgent task is to stabilize the Tianxian Sect first, and then contact other righteous sects to discuss countermeasures together."
"That makes sense." Gu Jiuchen nodded slightly, "But now that I am disgraced, the people of the Tianxian Sect are in a panic. How easy is it to revive?"
Ye Linglong said softly: "Jiuchen, don't be discouraged. Those who are clean will be clean by themselves. I believe that the disciples of Tianxian Sect are not just what others say, they are just blinded. As long as we produce evidence and expose Xuanfeng's true face, Everyone will understand the truth."
Gu Jiuchen smiled bitterly: "Evidence? Now that I am behind bars, where can I find evidence?"
"Jiuchen, don't forget," Ye Linglong's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, "When you were trapped, I sneaked into the Demon Sect and tried to rescue you. Although I didn't succeed, I didn't gain anything. I I believe that as long as we investigate carefully, we will be able to find evidence that Xuanfeng is colluding with the Demon Cult."
"Linglong, are you telling the truth?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Gu Jiuchen's eyes. If he could find evidence that Xuanfeng had colluded with the Demon Sect, then he would be able to clear his grievances and regain control of the Celestial Immortal Sect.
Ye Linglong nodded affirmatively: "It's absolutely true!"
"Okay!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice, "Without further delay, we will leave to return to Tianxian Sect!"
The three of them discussed it and made a detailed plan. Xuan Yu is responsible for contacting other righteous sects, while Ye Linglong sneaks back to Tianxian Sect with Gu Jiuchen to look for evidence and reveal Xuan Feng's true face.
Gu Jiuchen stood up suddenly and took heavy steps in front of the cave, pacing back and forth. His clenched fists had white knuckles and his eyes were burning with rage. The disciple he once regarded as his own turned out to be such an ambitious person! The Celestial Immortal Sect that he was so proud of was trampled upon! How could he swallow this bad breath? !
"Xuanfeng, I treat you well, why did you betray the master and collude with the demon sect?!" Gu Jiuchen gritted his teeth, his voice was low, but it echoed in the valley like thunder.
Ye Linglong looked at Gu Jiuchen distressedly. She knew that at this moment, Gu Jiuchen was suffering from great pain and suffering in his heart. She walked up to Gu Jiuchen, gently held his hand, and said softly: "Jiuchen, you have to believe that evil prevails over good. We will definitely find evidence, expose Xuanfeng's true face, restore your innocence, and revive the Tianxian Sect. !”
Gu Jiuchen held Ye Linglong's hand with his backhand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and his heart gradually calmed down. Yes, he is not alone now. He also has Linglong, Brother Xuanyu, and so many friends who believe in him. He cannot be blinded by hatred, he must cheer up, for himself and for the sake of those who have always supported him!
"Linglong, you are right, I cannot fall!" Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath, his eyes gradually became firm, "I, Gu Jiuchen, will never bow to evil forces! I will make those betrayers pay the price they deserve. !”
Xuan Yu looked at Gu Jiuchen who had regained his fighting spirit and nodded happily. He knew that Gu Jiuchen, who stood tall and stood tall and arrogant among all the heroes, was back!
"Brother Jiuchen, what are you going to do?" Xuan Yu asked.
"Without further delay, we will leave immediately and return to Tianxian Sect!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes flashed and his tone was firm. He paused and continued, "Brother Xuan Yu, please immediately send a message to other righteous sects, saying that I, Gu Jiuchen, am back, and we must settle this account of the Tianxian Sect properly!"
"Okay!" Xuan Yu nodded, turned and left, his body turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the sky.
Gu Jiuchen looked at the direction Xuan Yu left with a deep look. He turned his head and said to Ye Linglong: "Linglong, let's go!" After that, he took Ye Linglong's hand, and the two of them turned into two sword lights, soared into the sky, and headed straight for the Tianxian Sect.
However, not long after they left, a dark shadow quietly appeared in the valley. He looked at the direction in which Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were leaving, with a cold smile on his lips, and murmured to himself: "Gu Jiuchen, you You are finally willing to show up! I have laid a trap and been waiting for you for a long time!" After that, the black shadow turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
