Chapter 901 Turning Point
Gu Jiuchen slowly approached the stone platform and stared at the crystal ball. As he came closer, he could see that the ball was filled with swirling mist, and in that mist he could vaguely make out images of ancient battles and forgotten rituals.
He reached out to touch the crystal ball, and when his fingers made contact, a surge of energy shot through his body. He gasped in surprise as his mind filled with images and information.
These are the secrets of forbidden magic, knowledge so powerful and dangerous that it has been sealed away for centuries. But this knowledge is also fragmented and incomplete. When Gu Jiuchen studied deeply, he realized that there was something else hidden in the crystal ball, something dark and evil.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head. He cried out and staggered back from the stone platform. He felt dizzy and disoriented, and the images in his mind began to blur and fade.
He fell into a trap.
Just then, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.
"Jiuchen!"
It’s Ye Linglong. She followed him into the room, her injuries appearing to be less serious than he had feared.
"Linglong! Back off!" Gu Jiuchen shouted, but it was too late.
As soon as Ye Linglong entered the room, the stone door slammed shut behind her, plunging them into darkness. The air crackled with energy and the ground beneath them began to shake.
They were trapped, and a powerful force rose around them, threatening to consume them both. In the darkness, Gu Jiuchen suddenly protected Ye Linglong behind him, and the spiritual power surged in his hands, illuminating the surrounding area for several feet. I don't know when the stone door has been tightly closed,
On the walls of the stone chamber, ancient runes could be seen faintly shining with an eerie light.
"This is... the ancient sealing technique!" Ye Linglong exclaimed, with a hint of trembling in her tone, "It seems that we have touched the core of the restriction."
Gu Jiuchen looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Linglong, step back and leave this place to me." The sword energy around him pushed the approaching darkness back a little, but he could not stop the suffocating sense of oppression.
"Want to leave? It's too late!" A cold voice echoed in the stone chamber, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell.
In the center of the stone chamber, the crystal ball suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and a blurry figure gradually solidified, finally turning into an old man wearing a black robe with a withered face.
"Master of the Demon Cult!" Gu Jiuchen's pupils shrank suddenly, and a turmoil arose in his heart. He never expected that the legendary leader of the Demon Cult who had long since fallen would still remain in the world in this way.
"Jie Jie, Gu Jiuchen, I didn't expect you to be here today!" The leader of the Demon Cult smiled sinisterly, his eyes falling on Ye Linglong, with undisguised greed, "This girl is pretty good, if I can refine her into mine Furnace, my cultivation will definitely reach a higher level!”
"Don't even think about it!" Gu Jiuchen was furious, swung his long sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy hit the demon sect leader's face.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities!" The leader of the Demon Cult snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the sword energy was dissolved into nothingness. His eyes were sinister and he formed seals with his hands. The runes in the stone chamber suddenly glowed brightly and turned into black chains, entwining towards Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.
At the critical moment, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Don't be so rampant, evildoers!"
A golden
Light fell from the sky, shattering the black chains, and an old man wearing a white robe and an immortal spirit appeared in the stone room.
"Master!" Gu Jiuchen was pleasantly surprised. The person who came was the previous sect leader of Tianxian Sect and his master, an ancient immortal who had already ascended to the immortal world.
"Master!" Ye Linglong also shouted in surprise, with a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"You go first, leave this place to me." The ancient immortal looked solemn, and it was obvious that he also felt the difficulty of the demon sect leader's remaining soul.
"Want to leave? Have you asked me?" The leader of the Demon Cult laughed wildly, his black robes swelled, and a terrifying breath burst out from his body. The entire stone room trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
The ancient immortal stood in the sky, his clothes fluttering, like a god descending to earth. He faced the remnant soul of the arrogant Demon Cult leader, with no fear in his eyes, only endless majesty and determination.
"Evil barrier, you have harmed and ruined living beings. Today, I will act on behalf of heaven and completely eliminate you!" The voice of the ancient immortal was like a loud bell, making the entire stone chamber buzz.
The leader of the Demon Cult, Remnant Soul, didn't take it seriously, but laughed loudly: "Just you? How dare an old guy living on his last breath speak nonsense in front of me!"
Before he finished speaking, the demon sect leader's remnant soul turned into a black shadow and pounced on the ancient immortal like lightning. The ancient immortal was on guard for a long time. With a wave of dust in his hand, a golden light curtain appeared out of thin air, blocking all attacks from the leader of the Demon Cult.
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were stunned by this sudden change. They had never seen such an earth-shattering battle. Ye Linglong grabbed Gu Jiuchen's sleeves worriedly, fearing that something might happen to him.
"Linglong, we
We cannot sit still and wait for death. Gu Jiuchen whispered, looking around, trying to find a way to escape.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a pile of rocks in the corner of the stone room, where an ancient book seemed to be buried. With a thought in his heart, he pulled Ye Linglong and walked over.
Pushing aside the rocks, Gu Jiuchen carefully picked up the book and gently blew away the dust on it. I saw four simple large characters written on the cover - "Detailed Explanation of Forbidden Techniques".
Gu Jiuchen was delighted. This ancient book might be the key to their escape! He opened the pages and read carefully.
Ye Linglong also came over and saw that the books contained some weird and unpredictable forbidden techniques, which made her scalp numb.
"Jiuchen, what is written on this?" Ye Linglong couldn't help but ask.
"Stop talking, I seem to have found a way to restrain the forbidden arts." Gu Jiuchen stared at the pages of the book, flipping his fingers quickly.
Time passed by minute by second, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on Gu Jiuchen's forehead. Ye Linglong silently wiped his sweat from the side, her heart full of worry and expectation.
Finally, Gu Jiuchen closed the book and breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Linglong, I found it!" "I found it!" Gu Jiuchen grabbed Ye Linglong's hand excitedly, "This ancient book records a special spell that can temporarily seal the core of forbidden arts!"
When Ye Linglong heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "Really? That's great! Let's act quickly!"
However, at this moment, Gu Jiuchen suddenly felt palpitations, as if a powerful force was trying to get in touch with him.
. He closed his eyes and concentrated. After a moment, an old voice sounded in his mind: "Jiuchen, I am your master. You are in a critical situation now. You must not act rashly."
Gu Jiuchen was shocked and asked quickly: "Master, where are you?"
"I am dealing with the remnants of the Demon Cult and cannot escape," the ancient immortal's voice was full of exhaustion. "I just discovered that although the remnant soul of the Demon Cult leader is powerful, it is not without its weaknesses. His power comes from the core of the forbidden art. As long as he can Cutting off his connection to the core will significantly weaken his power."
Gu Jiuchen's heart moved and he quickly asked: "Master, have you found a way to restrain him?"
"I have taught the method to your senior brother Li Yunfei," the ancient immortal said. "He is now outside the core of the forbidden art, looking for opportunities to get close to the core. What you have to do is to do everything possible to delay time and gain a chance for Yunfei!" "
When Gu Jiuchen heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He took a deep breath and said to Ye Linglong: "Linglong, we can't act rashly now. My master has found a way to deal with the leader of the Demon Cult. All we have to do is delay."
Although Ye Linglong was worried, she also knew that now was not the time to be willful. She nodded and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Gu Jiuchen pondered for a moment and said: "This ancient book records a special spell that can create illusions and confuse the enemy. We can use this spell to attract the attention of the leader of the Demon Cult and buy time for my senior brother."
Hearing this, Ye Linglong's eyes lit up: "What a great idea! Let's learn this spell quickly!"
As a result, the two began to concentrate on studying the information recorded in ancient books.
Spells. At the same time, outside the core of the forbidden art, Li Yunfei was leading a group of righteous masters to engage in a fierce battle with the remnants of the Demon Sect.
Li Yunfei was holding a long sword, and his figure was like lightning. Wherever the sword light struck, the demon sect disciples fell to the ground one after another. While fighting, he observed the surrounding environment, looking for opportunities to get close to the core of the forbidden technique.
"Brother Li, how can we break through the demon sect's defense line and get closer to the core?" asked a righteous master.
Li Yunfei said in a deep voice: "I have received a message from my master. He knows how to deal with the leader of the Demon Cult. What we have to do now is to hold back the main force of the Demon Cult and buy time for our junior brother!"
"However, the strength of the Demon Cult is too strong, and we may not be able to resist it for too long!" Another righteous master said worriedly.
