Looking at Xu ngying's deanor, she truly doesn't seem like a profligate child who cares nothing about her family's heritage. In order to preserve her ancestral legacy, she must have many ans to deal with ng Zhang. However, ng Zhang also possesses his own trump cards. In the end, we will have to wait and see who will have the last laugh.
ng Zhang remains calm on the surface, as if he hasn't noticed anything at all. On the other hand, Xu ngying tries to soothe the three mbers of the Jiang Family with gentle words, but she quickly changes the topic. Apparently, she is afraid of revealing certain secrets to ng Zhang during their conversation.
However, she doesn't know that ng Zhang, relying on his innate Divine Ability - Mind Reading, has already gleaned everything he needs to know from the three mbers of the Jiang Family.
Xu ngying gets straight to the point and directly asks Jiang Family's patriarch, Jiang Xiaozhong, how they can overturn the existing rule in Maple Leaf Mountain City and gain control of the situation as soon as possible.
Jiang Xiaozhong, being a local cultivator deeply familiar with the situation in Maple Leaf Mountain City, possesses knowledge beyond Xu Jiao's grasp. He starts explaining in detail to Xu ngying, and the two Jiang Family elders beside him occasionally chip in with additional information.
With the involvent of the Jiang Family cultivator, their impact is indeed imnse. In no ti, they have formulated a concrete plan to quickly grasp the situation in Maple Leaf Mountain City.
Daoist Master Mountain Garden and others are still closely following behind, and Xu ngying doesn't have much ti to waste. Now that everyone has planned accordingly, it's ti to take imdiate action.
As a guest elder of Maple Leaf Mountain City, Xu Jiao holds a high status but has limited real power and finds it challenging to participate in the various confidential matters of the city. On the other hand, the Jiang Family cultivator, being a backbone force in Maple Leaf Mountain City for many years, has always been dependable and involved in nurous secretive events within the sect. Many of the managerial positions for mundane affairs in the sect are filled by Jiang Family disciples, and the Jiang Family patriarch easily manipulates things behind the scenes.
On the sa night, a Foundation Building stage disciple from the Jiang Family, responsible for monitoring the direction of Black Jade Forest, urgently sent a talisman from a thousand miles away to report that the demon beasts in Black Jade Forest were showing unusual activities and seed to be preparing for a large-scale attack on the surrounding areas.
The areas around Maple Leaf Mountain City were relatively peaceful, with occasional disputes among various cultivation forces, but most issues were peacefully resolved or decided through small-scale competitions. There had been very few large-scale wars between human cultivators.
However, the demon beasts in Black Jade Forest had beco the biggest enemy of all nearby cultivation forces. Even though these demon beasts were considered inferior and eliminated within Black Jade Forest, they still caused considerable destruction to the surrounding regions. Each ti they launched an invasion, the major cultivation forces in the vicinity had to exert significant efforts to drive them back.
Even with the strength of a Gold Core sect like Maple Leaf Mountain City, they couldn't completely solve this problem. Even the Primordial Spirit sects of the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle wouldn't easily venture deep into Black Jade Forest, let alone these Gold Core sects.
Therefore, Maple Leaf Mountain City had to strengthen its monitoring of Black Jade Forest. At any sign of activity, they would respond promptly to minimize losses in all aspects.
Now, upon receiving the news of unusual activities among the demon beasts in Black Jade Forest, the high-level mbers of Maple Leaf Mountain City were imdiately alard. Even though it was late at night, including the three Gold Core Daoist Masters, they gathered in the sect's main hall, where they usually discussed important matters.
The Sect Master of Maple Leaf Mountain City is a Foundation Building late-stage cultivator, while the three Gold Core Daoist Masters are the top elders and the true decision-makers of the sect.
Of course, in this sect primarily composed of family forces, the internal relationships are intricate and difficult to untangle. Even a Gold Core Daoist Master cannot unilaterally make decisions on many important matters; they need to discuss and consult with others.
The Jiang Family cultivator is responsible for various mundane affairs within the sect, such as cleaning and maintenance of the main hall on regular days.
More and more high-level cultivators arrive at the main hall, including Xu Jiao, a guest elder who ca early. Maple Leaf Mountain City spent considerable effort to recruit guest elders like Xu Jiao to handle situations like the current one. Despite being guest elders, they often play the role of enforcers.
Apart from the high-level mbers, three attendants stand by the side, performing tasks such as serving tea and water. These servants are managed by the Jiang Family cultivator, and none of the sect's high-level mbers pay much attention to them.
After all the high-level mbers have gathered, Jiang Xiaozhong, the Jiang Family patriarch who should have reported the intelligence from his family, silently walks towards the outside of the main hall. A Gold Core cultivator notices this and is about to call Jiang Xiaozhong back, but suddenly an unexpected event occurs.
The seemingly inconspicuous three attendants launch a surprise attack, each targeting one of the three Gold Core Daoist Masters almost simultaneously.
These three Gold Core Daoist Masters of Maple Leaf Mountain City are only in the early stage of Gold Core cultivation, making them far inferior to ng Zhang and his companions, who disguised themselves as attendants. Even in a fair and open fight, they wouldn't last a few moves.
If it weren't for the sake of a swift resolution to avoid causing chaos within the entire sect, ng Zhang and the others wouldn't need to resort to sneak attacks.
ng Zhang strikes first, the Spiritsnake Spear silently appearing in his hand and easily piercing the unguarded opponent. The opponent's protective spells seem as feeble as paper and offer no resistance.
With the deadly blow of the Spiritsnake Spear, this ordinary Gold Core cultivator naturally ets his demise.
Xu ngying uses a secret technique to easily confuse her opponent's mind, leaving him powerless to resist and making him an easy target for her to kill.
Sword Cultivators are often the best assassins, and among the three, Extre Sword Spirit General, with the lowest Cultivation Base, is the most skilled.
His invisible sword qi directly breaks through the opponent's defensive spells, killing him on the spot.
The other high-level mbers present are all Foundation Building stage cultivators. Witnessing the three pillars of the sect, the Gold Core Daoist Masters, being ambushed, they are filled with panic and haven't had the chance to react when Xu Jiao suddenly takes action.
As a Gold Core early-stage cultivator, Xu Jiao thought it would be an easy feat to ambush a group of Foundation Building cultivators. However, unexpectedly, there were more opponents, and each had so life-saving tricks up their sleeves. After launching her sneak attack, she failed to quickly take them all down, giving them ti to respond.
Several Foundation Building cultivators shout loudly, seemingly trying to alert the outside cultivators and call for help from within the sect.
These few people are also confused by the sudden turn of events. The strongest cultivator of Maple Leaf Mountain City is within the main hall, yet even they have beco targets of slaughter. For the lower-level cultivators in the sect, coming to this place ans either dying in vain or facing no outco other than death.
