In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 505 If you can't hurt someone from behind, then a direct confrontation is the way to go.

With Gu Shaoan's tacit approval, Mei Jiangxue felt relieved.

The next moment! Mei Jiangxue stretched out her slender hand with lightning speed, grabbed a dozen or so bamboo chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table, and instantly activated the inner cultivation method and sword technique of the Emei Sect's "Sunset Sword Technique" within her body. A highly refined true essence, carrying the intense and sharp meaning of the setting sun melting gold, was poured into the bamboo chopsticks.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

With a slight tremor of Mei Jiangxue's arm and a flick of her wrist, a dozen bamboo chopsticks, carrying a visible pale golden aura, transformed into streaks of golden light that shot through the air.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

A series of dull, clear impacts exploded almost simultaneously, like hailstones striking a stone slab.

Each bamboo chopstick, infused with powerful true energy, was precisely and deeply inserted into the bluestone floor.

It was when the chopsticks were inserted into the bluestone slab on the ground that Wu Mengci and the other disciples of Cihang Jingzhai sensed something was wrong and turned around abruptly to look behind them.

They then discovered that each of them had an extra chopstick on the heel of one of their feet.

In particular, there were as many as five bamboo chopsticks stuck in Wu Mengci's heels.

When Wu Mengci's gaze fell upon these chopsticks, she could even see the ends of the chopsticks trembling violently.

A casual toss can cause more than a dozen bamboo chopsticks to stick into the bluestone floor; it's nothing special.

However, each bamboo chopstick was precisely inserted into the heels of Wu Mengci and the others, stopping them from retreating further. The control over strength, timing, and angle displayed here was so precise that it was astonishing.

When the two Yin Gui Sect martial artists who had returned to the Innate Realm saw this scene, their pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, abruptly halting their forward momentum.

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

As they regained their footing, the two Yin Gui Sect members who had returned to the Innate Realm almost screamed, their voices distorted with fear, while frantically waving their hands behind their backs.

Although the Yin Gui Sect followers who were following closely behind did not understand what was going on, they were still frightened to stop by the shouts of the two men, which were clearly tinged with fear.

Only the sounds of Wanwan and Shi Feixuan's fierce battle still echoing in the distance continued to reverberate.

It was only after the followers of the Yin Gui Sect and Wu Mengci and other members of Cihang Jingzhai stopped that Mei Jiangxue's voice, as cold as ten thousand years of black ice, slowly rang out.

"We two only wish to rest here and have no interest in the grudges and feuds between your Cihang Jingzhai and Yin Gui Sect."

Her gaze was like two solid icicles, passing over Wu Mengci and the others who turned back in terror. "What I did just now was only a warning. If you try to bring trouble here again, you will bear the consequences."

Faced with Mei Jiangxue's cold and threatening words, the two Yin Gui Sect members who had returned to the Innate Realm softened their expressions slightly.

Mei Jiangxue displayed tremendous strength, and the powerful fluctuations of her true essence were enough to demonstrate her profound level of internal energy cultivation.

Furthermore, the fact that she used bamboo chopsticks to stop Cihang Jingzhai and the others shows that Mei Jiangxue is not just a silver spear with a high level of internal strength but lacking in actual power.

These two were certain that once Mei Jiangxue made her move, none of them would be enough to kill her alone.

However, upon hearing Mei Jiangxue's words, it was clear that she had no intention of helping Cihang Jingzhai and the others, which made the two later-returning-to-innate sect members of the Yin Gui Sect secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But some are happy and some are sad.

The people from the Yin Gui Sect were happy, but Wu Mengci and the others from Cihang Jingzhai felt a pang of anxiety after hearing Mei Jiangxue's words.

Wu Mengci glanced discreetly at Shi Feixuan, who was being held back by Wanwan in the distance, and then at the Yin Gui Sect members. A calculating glint flashed in her eyes once more.

After taking a deep breath, Wu Mengci spoke towards Mei Jiangxue and Gu Shaoan: "Judging from your outstanding demeanor and refined speech, you must both come from a martial arts family or a prestigious sect. Now that the demonic sect is slaughtering our righteous sects, if you two can lend a helping hand and assist us in escaping this predicament, the entire Cihang Jingzhai will forever remember your kindness!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Jiangxue's lips curled into an extremely cold smile, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt, and she didn't even bother to respond with a single word.

With Wu Mengci's methods and thoughts, even an ordinary Emei Sect disciple could see through her at a glance, let alone Mei Jiangxue.

Seeing Mei Jiangxue's reaction, Wu Mengci felt extremely anxious.

Seeing that the other party remained silent and even ignored her, Wu Mengci felt both anxious and angry. She had no other choice!

She gritted her teeth and hissed at the disciple beside her, whose feet were also pinned down: "Don't stop, retreat through the door or window in the corner, quickly."

As she spoke, Wu Mengci kicked back, breaking the bamboo chopsticks in half, and continued retreating towards Gu Shaoan and the others.

They were actually prepared to ignore Mei Jiangxue's warning and forcibly drag Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue into the mess.

Seeing this, the other Cihang Jingzhai disciples, after a moment's consideration, chose to move towards Gu Shaoan along with Wu Mengci.

The fact that they were able to issue a warning first, rather than taking direct and ruthless action, is enough to show that the two people in the corner were definitely not members of the demonic sect who acted solely on their whims.

Based on this alone, compared to those from the Yin Gui Sect, these disciples of Cihang Jingzhai were clearly more willing to place their hopes on Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue.

This action completely ignited the last bit of patience in Mei Jiangxue's heart!
A chilling killing intent, like ancient ice suddenly shattering, erupted from Mei Jiangxue's body, causing the temperature in the entire corner to drop several degrees.

court death! "

The instant the word "death" was uttered!
As Mei Jiangxue's internal energy circulated, her figure rose like an autumn wind.

One moment she was sitting quietly beside Gu Shaoan, as aloof as a plum blossom under the moon, but the next moment her figure had transformed into a blurry white streak that almost blended into the air, passing over Wu Mengci and the others and standing in front of them.

The speed was so fast that Wu Mengci and the others only felt a blur before their eyes, and then they found Mei Jiangxue already standing in front of them.

Disciples of reputable sects would never resort to underhanded tactics to harm others.

But you can't hurt someone from behind; you have to fight them head-on.

Therefore, as Mei Jiangxue used her lightness skill to move from behind Wu Mengci and the others to in front of them, her left hand remained the slender, jade-white right hand wielding a sword, her thumb hooked around her middle and ring fingers, her index and middle fingers joined together like a halberd, straight as a sword. The inner power of the Emei Sect's "Sunset Sword Technique" surged within her like molten lava, instantly pouring into her joined fingers as she pointed them at Wu Mengci.

Seeing the finger pointing at her like the afterglow of the setting sun, Wu Mengci was terrified. Her strong will to survive made her instinctively want to draw her sword to block.

However, before she could even raise her sword, the pale gold swirling around Mei Jiangxue's sword finger magnified in her eyes until it touched her brow.

Just in time to let out a short, almost inaudible gasp of horror, his eyes reflected the pale golden fingertip that was getting closer and brighter!

"laugh!"

A soft sound, like cloth being torn, rang out, and a wisp of sword energy burst out from the back of Wu Mengci's head, splattering a few drops of blood.

The extreme terror on Wu Mengci's face froze instantly, and the light in her eyes went out abruptly, like a candle flame being blown out.

Her body stiffened abruptly, as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. She couldn't even utter a sound before collapsing to the ground like a broken puppet that had lost all its support.

Admittedly, Wu Mengci had previously been gambling.

If Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue were truly from a prestigious or martial arts family, and knew they were disciples of Cihang Jingzhai, they would not have readily offered assistance, but rather would not have brazenly helped the demonic Yin Gui Sect members.

Otherwise, once the news gets out, their reputations will inevitably be damaged.

Unfortunately, Wu Mengci lost this gamble.

The price was her life, along with the lives of the dozen or so Cihang Jingzhai disciples around her.

As Wu Mengci was killed, Mei Jiangxue's figure did not pause at all. As Wu Mengci fell to the ground, her footwork became mysterious and ever-changing, as if she were stepping on an invisible lotus platform. She moved swiftly among the remaining Cihang Jingzhai disciples in a small space, so fast that she left only blurry afterimages.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

A series of faint yet chilling whooshing sounds rang out in quick succession.

Each sound was accompanied by Mei Jiangxue's two fingers, joined together like a sword, pointing out precisely with a pale golden sunset-like edge!

Each finger strikes precisely at a vital point, capable of delivering an instant fatal blow, without a single superfluous movement or wasted force.

Even Wu Mengci, whose internal energy cultivation had reached the level of returning to the innate realm, was unable to fight back against Mei Jiangxue, let alone these disciples of Cihang Jingzhai whose internal energy cultivation was only at the acquired realm.

They couldn't even put up a decent resistance! They didn't even have time to scream; they could only watch helplessly as the deadly finger magnified infinitely in their pupils before their consciousness plunged into eternal darkness.

As the last person was dealt with, Mei Jiangxue slowly withdrew her sword fingers, the pale golden gleam at her fingertips vanishing as if it had never been there. Her cold gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, her eyes devoid of any emotion, only an icy indifference.

From the moment Mei Jiangxue made her move until all the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai were killed, the entire process took less than five breaths.

Seeing the corpses of Cihang Jingzhai disciples lying all over the ground, the two martial artists who had returned to the Innate Realm of Yin Gui Sect and the other sect members all trembled. Looking at Mei Jiangxue, who stood aloof amidst the corpses, a hint of fear unconsciously appeared in their eyes.

Some members of the Yin Gui sect unconsciously took a half step back.

In the distance, Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, who were engaged in fierce fighting, were also startled by this sudden, one-sided, and terrifying massacre. The two of them stopped their attacks without prior agreement, separated, and stared in horror at the corner!

Looking at the dozen or so corpses of her fellow disciples on the ground, especially Wu Mengci's face which still bore traces of fear and astonishment, Shi Feixuan's clear eyes were also filled with astonishment.

But the next second, anger began to well up in Shi Feixuan's heart.

Wanwan's pupils also contracted sharply. When she looked at Mei Jiangxue, who had just made a fierce move, her beautiful face showed a hint of astonishment.

But then, when Wanwan looked at Mei Jiangxue again after regaining her senses, there was a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

Then, glancing at Gu Shaoan, who was still sitting quietly in the corner, Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"As members of a prestigious and righteous sect, it's quite interesting that when they encountered the Demonic Sect and Cihang Jingzhai fighting, they not only didn't fight the Demonic Sect members, but instead ruthlessly slaughtered the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai."

With thoughts swirling in her mind, Wanwan became even more interested, as if she had discovered something new and interesting.

However, before Wanwan could think further, Shi Feixuan, who was not far away, spoke up again.

"Although the actions of the senior sisters of Cihang Jingzhai in trying to drag you all down were inappropriate, don't you think it's a bit too much for you to go so far as to kill them?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Jiangxue glanced at Shi Feixuan with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"Too much?"

“If we were just ordinary, weak martial artists today, your Cihang Jingzhai’s act of diverting disaster would have been enough to bring us to our deaths.”

"If we are strong enough to deal with these Yin Gui Sect people, after helping Cihang Jingzhai today, we will be hated by the Yin Gui Sect and the Demonic Sect, thus creating enmity."

"In either case, it is harmful and not beneficial to us."

"Now you accuse me of going too far? Is this how you, Cihang Jingzhai, teach your disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Wanwan couldn't help but clap and cheer.

“What this sister said is right. Even some teenagers know the principle of ‘not to harm the innocent.’ These two have no grudges against your Cihang Jingzhai, yet when something happens, you think of dragging this sister down with you.”

"Now that their scheme has been exposed and they've brought about their own demise, they're instead turning around and blaming others."

"Tsk tsk, what a fine Cihang Jingzhai! They're nothing but a bunch of hypocrites who, under the guise of a prestigious sect, do nothing but harm others for their own benefit."
