In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 506 Bewitching Voice (Part 2)

Faced with Wanwan's agreement and mockery, most people would have been furious by now, but Shi Feixuan remained as calm as a puppet, her expression unchanged. She didn't even glance at Wanwan, but instead assessed the situation in her mind.

Even if Wanwan were alone in this post station, Shi Feixuan wouldn't dare say she could easily take her down, let alone now that there's another Qi Condensation cultivator, Mei Jiangxue, whose strength is unknown.
Shi Feixuan glanced at Gu Shaoan, who was still sitting, her eyes filled with apprehension.

A few breaths later, Shi Feixuan's melodious voice, calm as a mirror, slowly rang out: "What you do today will happen tomorrow. You have wantonly slaughtered the disciples and elders of my Cihang Jingzhai. Cihang Jingzhai will not let this matter rest. I hope you will think twice before you act."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Feixuan looked at Wanwan.

Just as he was about to speak, Mei Jiangxue suddenly let out a cold snort.

Her inner energy surged like a river flowing backward, and as the bluestone slab beneath her feet silently shattered, Mei Jiangxue's figure soared through the air like a dragon, leaving behind solid and swift white afterimages. In an instant, she traversed several meters and rushed straight towards Shi Feixuan.

As she moved, a vast and pure stream of Emei true energy flowed down her arm and into the sword in her left hand.

"Zzzzz~"

In an instant, a clear and melodious sound of a sword being drawn suddenly rang out in the post station.

In that split second of the sword hilt, Mei Jiangxue flicked her wrist, and the sword moved with her! A condensed, snow-white sword light, as pure as snow, transformed into a streak of light, piercing the air and heading straight for Shi Feixuan's throat.

The sword flashed, like a plum blossom braving the snow.

At the same time, Mei Jiangxue's icy voice rang out like a sharp sword.

"You made a mistake first, had malicious intentions, and now you're threatening me? I'd like to see how you're going to 'not give up'!"

Shi Feixuan never expected that Mei Jiangxue would suddenly make a move at this moment.

Faced with this lightning-fast sword strike, a hint of seriousness flashed in Shi Feixuan's clear eyes.

Although surprised that Mei Jiangxue would suddenly make a move, "Sword Heart Clarity" instantly eliminated all distracting thoughts, and the mind became as clear as a mirror.

"buzz"

A faint, yet comforting hum emanated from the longsword in her hand. The sword light transformed into a pale blue stream of light, striking the side of the snow-white sword light before it could reach her.

"Ding!"

The two swords collided in mid-air, and a crisp, metallic clang suddenly rang out.

The sound was short but sharp, as if it could pierce eardrums, creating a visible, transparent ripple that distorted the air.

Mei Jiangxue's sword momentum paused slightly, but her movements did not stop at all. As she flipped her wrist, she executed the "Thousand Peaks Bearing the Sun's Radiance" sword move from the Sunset Sword Technique. Her sword momentum suddenly pressed down like the setting sun, and the sword light split into dozens of streaks like overlapping mountain shadows, attacking Shi Feixuan's waist and abdomen.

Shi Feixuan's expression remained calm and composed. Her footwork was mysterious, seemingly slow but actually fast, as if she were stepping on an invisible lotus platform. Her figure glided backward gracefully. At the same time, she raised her long sword, which transformed into a sky full of clear light, like scattered starlight, to meet Mei Jiangxue's ever-changing sword light!
"Ding Ding Ding"

A series of sounds, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves, echoed continuously. The swords clashed fiercely in a small space, and each collision created ripples that distorted the air, moving so fast that it was dazzling.

The sharp sword energy and surging force also cut deep and shallow marks into the surrounding walls, ground, and beams.

Mei Jiangxue's swordplay sometimes resembled a long river at sunset, solitary and lofty, and at other times it resembled molten gold in the evening glow, its intense heat containing the potential for decay.

Compared to before she descended the mountain, Mei Jiangxue's mastery and understanding of the "Sunset Sword Technique" had greatly improved.

Even if it is close to the level of "transforming form into meaning", it is not far away.

Shi Feixuan was like a pure blue lotus rooted in the clear mirror lake of her heart. Her long sword cut through the air, and every move was extremely simple, yet it perfectly blocked Mei Jiangxue's exquisite attacks.

Her "Sword Heart Clarity" allows her to always catch the slightest opportunity or gap in the opponent's sword technique, and to neutralize Mei Jiangxue's attack with the smallest movements and the simplest sword moves, defending flawlessly. The occasional counterattacks she launches are also aimed directly at the vital points and are exceptionally sharp.

For a time, the fight was so intense that it was evenly matched!
Wanwan took in the battle between the two and showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Although they had previously determined from the fluctuations of true qi within Mei Jiangxue's body that Mei Jiangxue was also at the Qi Condensation stage of internal cultivation.

But over the years, even Wanwan has encountered many martial artists who have condensed their Qi into Yuan.

They all possessed the realm of martial arts, but their mastery of martial arts and their actual strength were ordinary, far inferior to Wanwan and Shi Feixuan.

But what Mei Jiangxue is showing now is not only her fighting spirit, but also her mastery of martial arts, which has reached an extremely high level.

Especially in martial arts, he has reached the same level of understanding that transcends form and extends to intent, just like them.

This made Wanwan turn her head to glance at Gu Shaoan sitting at the table in the corner.

Although Wanwan had never been to the Great Wei Kingdom, there were many merchants traveling between the Great Sui Kingdom and the Great Wei Kingdom. These merchants would inevitably need to recruit or invite some warriors as guards to prevent banditry.

When these martial artists who traveled with the merchants returned to the Sui Dynasty, they would naturally recount some of the events in the martial arts world of the Wei Dynasty.

In recent years, Gu Shaoan and the Emei Sect have enjoyed unparalleled fame, and their reputation and deeds have gradually spread throughout the Great Sui Kingdom.

Even without making a deliberate inquiry, the warriors of the Great Sui Kingdom knew more or less about the "Emei Sect" and the name "Gu Shaoan".

Wanwan has heard quite a bit about Gu Shaoan and the Emei Sect over the past few years.

Originally, Wanwan thought that only Emei had sent out Gu Shaoan, such a peerless genius.

Unexpectedly, within the Emei Sect, besides Gu Shaoan, there was another prodigy martial artist who, in terms of both age and strength, was comparable to her and Shi Feixuan.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Wanwan's mind.

She then stopped watching the fight between the two and instead lightly lifted her jade-like foot, flashing back to sit down next to Gu Shaoan.

After refilling Gu Shaoan's teacup with tea from the teapot, Wanwan circulated her inner energy and transmitted her voice: "I never expected that Gu Shaoan, the famous young master of the Emei Sect in the Great Wei Kingdom, would appear in the Great Sui Kingdom."

In response to Wanwan's words, Gu Shaoan's internal energy stirred slightly, and his gentle voice entered Wanwan's ears.

"As I just said, I am not on the same path as Miss Wanwan. No matter what Miss Wanwan's intentions are, it is best to keep them in check. After all, Miss Wanwan also said that this is the Great Sui Kingdom. As a citizen of the Great Wei Kingdom, I am unwilling to take action in this foreign land unless necessary."

Upon hearing this, Wanwan looked at Gu Shaoan with a resentful expression: "How could you think of Wanwan like that, Young Master Gu? I've just been standing for a long time, so I'm just coming over to sit down."

The resentful words failed to stir any emotion in Gu Shaoan, who chuckled inwardly but did not reply.

Wanwan took in Gu Shaoan's indifferent expression and slightly raised her face.

Over the years, Wanwan has traveled all over the country and met many men. Although not all of them were so captivating that they couldn't resist him, none of them were as calm as Gu Shaoan, who showed no emotional change whatsoever due to her beauty.

Thinking of the rumors about Gu Shaoan's two beautiful wives, who were childhood sweethearts and also disciples of Emei, and then looking at the woman fighting fiercely with Shi Feixuan, Wanwan frowned slightly, as if she was reassessing something.

Meanwhile, in the center of the post station, the battle between Mei Jiangxue and Shi Feixuan had reached its climax.

The sounds of metal clashing, as dense as a sudden downpour on banana leaves, were incessant! The snow-white light of the Yitian Sword and the pale blue sword shadow, like two intertwined and tearing dragons, collided wildly in a very short time.

Sword energy crisscrossed, and fierce winds blew everywhere. Each clash created visible, transparent ripples that distorted the air, like ripples spreading outwards in layers on a lake surface after a stone has been thrown in.

The remaining Yin Gui Sect disciples had long since retreated to the side, watching from a distance.

At this moment, Mei Jiangxue pushed the blazing intensity of the "Sunset Sword Technique" to its limit. Her swordplay was sometimes expansive and powerful, like the setting sun melting gold and pouring down for thousands of miles, and sometimes like the sun falling to earth, with a majestic and awe-inspiring swordplay.

Gu Shaoan took in Mei Jiangxue's changes and nodded to himself.

Combat and guidance are two different things.

Whether it's Gu Shaoan, Juequan, Zhou Zhiruo, Yang Yan, or others, they are all people who are closest to Mei Jiangxue right now.

It was because of this relationship that Mei Jiangxue knew that even if Gu Shaoan used his full strength, he would not actually hurt her when she fought with Gu Shaoan and the others.

This is why disciples of any sect, once they reach a certain level in martial arts and internal strength, need to travel to the martial world.

The feeling and mindset are different when fighting enemies outside versus receiving guidance from elders within a sect.

Just like Mei Jiangxue, whose "Sunset Sword Technique" had long since reached the level of "perfect and smooth".

However, he has been unable to fully grasp the essence of the "Sunset Sword Technique" at the level of "comprehension and mastery" for a long time.

Now, Mei Jiangxue has truly reached the pinnacle of form in the "Sunset Sword Technique".

Inside the arena, Shi Feixuan also clearly sensed the change in Mei Jiangxue's strength.

As one side gained and the other lost, the pressure Shi Feixuan felt from Mei Jiangxue grew stronger and stronger.

Knowing that a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous, Shi Feixuan's true energy and sword intent surged together, and she swung her sword across the sky like a comet dragging across the ground, heading straight for Mei Jiangxue.

As the longsword pierced the air, countless sword energies, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, echoed around Shi Feixuan's blade.

It wasn't the pervasive sword energy, but rather the shimmering light on a calm lake under the cool moonlight—seemingly gentle, yet omnipresent and all-pervasive.

The ground was swept by sword energy, leaving countless fine, hair-like, yet bottomless sword marks.

It is the strongest move in the "Compassionate Sword Manual", "The Sword of Utmost Tranquility".

Noticing the sword technique used by Shi Feixuan, a hint of seriousness flashed in Wanwan's eyes.

As Shi Feixuan's opponent, Wanwan has fought with Shi Feixuan dozens of times over the years, and is naturally familiar with Shi Feixuan's "Ultimate Stillness Sword".

Even as an opponent, Wanwan had to admit that Shi Feixuan's sword strike was incredibly powerful, and even she had to be on her guard and deal with it with utmost care.

Standing nearby, Gu Shaoan took in Shi Feixuan's sword strike and raised an eyebrow.

"That's interesting."

It was different from the serene sword technique that Gu Shaoan had sensed from Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao's Ultimate Stillness Sword is a combination of "Sword Heart Clarity" and "Compassionate Sword Manual". The sword move was forcibly brought to the extreme of the second realm of swordsmanship, and it can even draw on the power of heaven and earth, with sword energy like a rainbow.

Shi Feixuan's "Ultimate Stillness Sword" maximizes the power of the move, making the sword energy shine like moonlight, reflecting the moon in a thousand rivers, omnipresent and unavoidable.

The former focuses on momentum, while the latter focuses on form.

This also means that the same move can feel completely different and even have drastically different power in the hands of the two people.

Faced with the sword energy that shimmered like waves, Mei Jiangxue's eyes showed no sign of retreat; instead, they blazed with an even more intense and resolute cold light.

Then, instead of retreating, Mei Jiangxue advanced, and a clear, cold shout burst from her lips!

The true essence of the "Emei Sword Scripture" within her body erupted like a volcano and was then poured entirely into the longsword in her hand.

The Emei Sword Manual – “Sword Two: Evening Wind”!
The sword blade, enveloped in true essence and sword intent, transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful stream of light. As it pierced through the air, the sword light and the condensed sword energy were like a gentle breeze carrying a hint of chill under the setting sun.

Two figures suddenly crossed paths the instant the pervasive pale blue sword energy collided with that poignant and resolute dark gold sword light.

Immediately afterwards, at the center of the sword energy storm, two approaching figures suddenly froze.

A nearly three-inch sword wound suddenly appeared on Mei Jiangxue's left shoulder, and blood instantly stained her clothes. Mei Jiangxue's face turned as pale as paper, but her clear and cold eyes remained as sharp as swords.

As for Shi Feixuan, her situation was equally dire. Her white robe was torn on her left abdomen, leaving a sword mark, and a glaring crimson stain appeared from the corner of her mouth.

It turned out that both sides suffered heavy losses.

Just then, Shi Feixuan, enduring the discomfort in her abdomen, raised her sword again and attacked Mei Jiangxue.

Upon seeing this, Mei Jiangxue's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and the sword move "Golden Crow Patrolling the Sky" from the "Sunset Sword Technique" was unleashed, the sword soaring through the sky.

However, just as Mei Jiangxue drew her sword, Shi Feixuan suddenly withdrew her move and leaped into the air, her toes touching Mei Jiangxue's raised sword.

"not good."

Noticing Shi Feixuan's actions, Mei Jiangxue's heart sank, and she vaguely guessed Shi Feixuan's intentions.

However, the move had already been made, and Mei Jiangxue had used all her strength in this sword strike.

If she were to stop her attack now, she would inevitably be devoured by the sword energy and true essence. Then, Shi Feixuan touched Mei Jiangxue's sword with her toes, and using the impact of the sword, Shi Feixuan's figure instantly rose into the air like a pale blue stream of light, passing through the hole in the roof and disappearing into the vast night outside the post station.

Mei Jiangxue's expression darkened slightly, and she subconsciously circulated her true energy to try to catch up, but before she could move, Gu Shaoan's voice rang out.

"never mind."

The moment the sound reached her ears, Mei Jiangxue's body stiffened abruptly.

After her breathing returned to normal and her true energy calmed down, Mei Jiangxue lowered her head and walked up to Gu Shaoan, whispering, "Senior brother, she got away."

Seeing Mei Jiangxue's dejected appearance, Gu Shaoan couldn't help but smile.

He immediately said, "It's alright, just be more careful next time."

Seeing that Gu Shaoan did not blame her, Mei Jiangxue breathed a sigh of relief and then took out a pill bottle from her bosom.

He poured out a pill from the bottle, and a burst of energy erupted from his fingertips, splitting the pill in two.

After eating half of it, he used his inner strength to grind the remaining half of the pill into powder and sprinkled it on the wound on his shoulder.

This medicine is also the Cardamom Exquisite Pill, which Gu Shaoan refined by mixing cardamom with other medicines.

Although each pill contains only a small amount of fragrant cardamom, it is extremely effective in treating both external and internal injuries.

In the case of ordinary top-tier forces, this would definitely be considered a life-saving item.

But for Gu Shaoan, it wasn't exactly considered very valuable.

Normally, if Mei Jiangxue gets injured during Gu Shaoan's training, she will use this Doukou Linglong Pill to recover from her injuries.

However, Mei Jiangxue, Zhou Zhiruo, Yang Yan, and others were all used to this Doukou Linglong Dan.

This does not mean that others are accustomed to this level of medication.

Then, to Wanwan's astonishment, she discovered that not only did the bleeding on Mei Jiangxue's shoulder stop instantly, but Mei Jiangxue's pale face also regained some color in just ten breaths.

In just ten breaths, not only were his injuries relieved, but his complexion also showed a significant improvement.

The fact that it had such an effect demonstrates the potency of the elixir that Mei Jiangxue had just taken.

Even the best healing medicines from the Yin Gui School cannot achieve such an effect.

In an instant, Wanwan understood why Gu Shaoan could remain so calm after Mei Jiangxue was injured.

Although all the people at the post station were dead, it was already this late, and Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue couldn't very well go outside to stay overnight.

Therefore, after Mei Jiangxue's injuries had eased somewhat, Gu Shaoan slowly stood up and led Mei Jiangxue towards the rooms used for lodging behind the post station.

It's unclear whether Wanwan hasn't figured out how to get along with Gu Shaoan yet, or whether Gu Shaoan's reputation has intimidated her.

Watching Gu Shaoan leave with Mei Jiangxue, Wanwan remained silent.

Only after the two left the hall did the rest of the Yin Gui Sect members approach Wanwan again.

One of the followers who had returned to the Innate Realm cautiously asked, "Holy Maiden, Shi Feixuan is injured. Should we pursue her?"

After thinking for a moment, Wanwan shook her head and said, "Forget it. That guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Although he is injured now, it's not too serious. If he gets desperate, it will only cause more trouble."

If it were any other day, Wanwan would naturally be delighted to see Shi Feixuan injured, and would inevitably take advantage of her misfortune, even following her around to find an opportunity to resolve the situation.

But at this moment, in Wanwan's heart, there was something else that was more important than Shi Feixuan.

Just as Wanwan's thoughts were racing, the cult member who had returned to the innate realm asked again, "Holy Maiden, who are those two?"

Wanwan glanced at the person who asked the question casually and said, "You're quite curious, but didn't the person who brought you into the Yin Gui Sect tell you that in the Yin Gui Sect, the more curious you are, the faster you tend to die?"

Upon hearing this, the person who had asked the question shrank back and repeatedly said, "This subordinate dares not, this subordinate dares not."

Wanwan gave a light snort, then glanced around and said, "Alright, let's clean this place up quickly! We'll take control of this post station again secretly after things calm down."

"Also, remember to dispose of the corpses inside. Be careful. That young master is no ordinary person. Even my master would have to be careful when he came. If you anger those two, I won't be able to help you."

"Your subordinate understands, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Upon hearing this, the Yin Gui Sect members nearby immediately bowed in agreement.

As the Yin Kui Sect members began to busy themselves cleaning the post station, Wanwan turned her head to look in the direction where Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue had left. Her bright eyes flickered slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
the other side.

After randomly selecting two nearby rooms behind the post station, Gu Shaoan first pointed out some problems that had occurred during Mei Jiangxue's previous battle with Shi Feixuan. Mei Jiangxue hesitated for a moment before asking, "With Senior Brother's strength, if you wanted to get rid of Shi Feixuan, it should have been effortless. Why did you let her go?"

Gu Shaoan's approach to things is always to either not act at all, or when he does, he shows no mercy to prevent future troubles.

If it were someone from another force today, Gu Shaoan might have given them a minor punishment as a warning, but wouldn't have gone so far as to kill them.

However, Shi Feixuan was a member of Cihang Jingzhai. In Mei Jiangxue's opinion, since Gu Shaoan would not hold back when he encountered the other party who was actively courting death.

Gu Shaoan said, "We have important business to attend to in the Great Sui Kingdom this time. Shi Feixuan is the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai. If we kill her, Cihang Jingzhai will definitely not let it go. There will inevitably be many trivial matters. Let's talk about it when we come to their door!"

"Visiting?" Mei Jiangxue blinked. "Is Senior Brother going to Cihang Jingzhai later?"

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "One of the things I need is in Cihang Jingzhai. I will go to Cihang Jingzhai after Chang'an and his party."

"When the time comes, I'll take care of the others, and you can take care of Shi Feixuan."

Now that things have come to this point, Mei Jiangxue clearly understands that Gu Shaoan's trip to Cihang Jingzhai is probably not solely for the purpose of taking something.

I'm afraid they also want the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Sui Kingdom to suffer the same fate as the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Wei Kingdom.

Gu Shaoan took in Mei Jiangxue's expression but offered no explanation.

Now that Mei Jiangxue has come to the Great Sui Kingdom with him, there are some things that Mei Jiangxue will find out sooner or later.

For example, Cihang Jingzhai, which destroyed the Sui Dynasty.

Like Baixiaoge, Cihang Jingzhai was originally a backup plan left behind by the Great Xia Dynasty when the land of Kyushu was sealed.

After the seal on the land of Kyushu was lifted, the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Sui Dynasty made contact with the Great Xia Dynasty immediately, and then, with the help of both inside and outside forces, destroyed the Li Tang Dynasty.

It's better to address such a potential problem as soon as possible than to leave it unresolved.

After their conversation, Mei Jiangxue returned to her room.

Gu Shaoan turned around and glanced at the bright moonlight outside the window before sitting cross-legged on the bed and silently circulating his internal energy.

The next day, as night faded and dawn broke, the darkness began to fall.

The heavy stench of blood that permeated the post station had been masked by the Yin Gui Sect members with special powders and spices, but a faint smell of rust still lingered in the air.

The mess of broken tables and chairs and signs of battle in the lobby had been mostly cleaned up, but the sword marks of varying depths on the walls and beams silently told the story of the thrilling battle that took place the night before.

At the end of Chen Shi (7-9 AM), as Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue, having finished washing up, slowly descended the stairs, someone below immediately looked up.

Mei Jiangxue looked up and saw that this person was one of the followers of the Yin Gui Sect who had reached the Return to the Innate Realm in internal energy yesterday.

As soon as Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue stepped down the last step, the man quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said in a voice with a hint of barely perceptible reverence, "Gentlemen, breakfast has been prepared. Would you like to eat?"

Gu Shaoan did not stop walking, nor did his gaze linger on the person. He simply spoke calmly, his voice steady yet carrying an undeniable distance: "No need."

After saying that, he led Mei Jiangxue straight toward the gate of the post station.

"Hey~"

Just then, a sigh, tinged with a hint of coquettishness and a touch of melancholy, like a feather with a hook, gently scratched at one's heart, suddenly echoing in the backyard.

Mei Jiangxue subconsciously looked up and saw Wanwan walking out of the kitchen near the backyard.

Today she changed into a light red gauze dress, which made her skin look even whiter and her features even more exquisite.

She held a delicate white porcelain dish in her hand, on which were several rather exquisite-looking pastries, and looked at Gu Shaoan with a resentful expression.

"Wanwan got up early this morning and specially prepared some snacks for the young master and young lady, hoping that the two of you would do me the honor of tasting Wanwan's cooking. The young master just left without even taking a look. He is really heartless."

Her enchanting voice penetrates to the bone, as if it could melt even the hardest steel into the softest silk.

An ordinary man would probably melt at the thought.

However, faced with Wanwan's words and demeanor, which were enough to make countless men's hearts flutter, Gu Shaoan's steps did not falter in the slightest, and his gaze did not even shift. He maintained his original pace and direction, leading Mei Jiangxue forward.

Wanwan's smile faltered slightly.

Seeing Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue walking further and further away, Wanwan circulated her true energy, and her figure moved instantly like a ghost, standing three feet in front of Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue.

However, just as her water-red skirt settled and she looked at Gu Shaoan, preparing to speak, Gu Shaoan took a step down.

"boom!"

Suddenly, both Wanwan and the Yin Gui Sect member beside her felt as if the entire world trembled.

An overwhelming and terrifying aura, as if the might of heaven had descended, pressed down on Wanwan from the sky.

Wanwan felt as if the world before her eyes had suddenly lost all color, no, the whole world was occupied by a pure, indescribable "sharpness"!

The sword intent, as vast as the starry sea, as pure as the beginning of time, and as sharp as divine punishment, filled his surroundings like a tangible, towering wave.

The feeling was like being suddenly and forcibly dragged into a boundless, icy ocean made up of countless invisible swords.

In an instant, all of Wanwan's blood turned into icy, ancient ice, and the bone-chilling cold seeped in through every pore, rushing up her spine to the top of her head.

Even the true energy that she used to wield with ease was now completely retracted into her dantian.

The extreme fear and the terrifying pressure made Wanwan feel as if she had been frozen in place, her body trembling slightly uncontrollably. Her face turned ashen, and fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead. Her eyes, which always held a cunning and alluring quality, were now filled with undisguised horror and emptiness.

Just as Wanwan felt she was about to be completely torn apart by the endless sea of ​​swords, Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue's figures brushed past her stiff side without changing their steps in the slightest.

Just as Gu Shaoan and Mei Jiangxue walked past her, the terrifying aura that had enveloped her and dragged her into the abyss of despair suddenly receded like a tide, disappearing without a trace.

The ocean of sword energy that had completely filled the surrounding world vanished without a trace at that moment.

Consciousness seemed to re-merge with the body.

After regaining control of her body, Wanwan dropped the plate in her hand to the ground, but she didn't care about the pastries on the plate. Instead, she supported herself on her knees with both hands, panting heavily, and beads of cold sweat dripped down her smooth chin.

I was still shaken, both physically and mentally.

They didn't even glance back, heading straight for the simply repaired gate of the post station, as if nothing had happened.

Although the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Sui Kingdom was not much different from the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Wei Kingdom, the Yin Gui Sect's usual conduct was not much better.

However, Cihang Jingzhai is merely a facade of a prestigious sect, engaging in all sorts of selfish acts.

The Yin Gui Sect, on the other hand, was undeniably evil. While they had committed numerous wicked deeds, they were not exactly benevolent either, living up to their reputation as a demonic sect.

Gu Shaoan had no interest in having much contact with such forces.

The slightly chilly morning light streamed in from outside the door, illuminating Gu Shaoan's calm and upright back, as well as Wanwan's still pale face, filled with shock and lingering fear.

　I'm a little late because I'm stuck on the last few paragraphs. Sorry!
