Chapter 677: Sneak attack

Looking at Xu Mengying's demeanor, 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 means to deal with Meng Zhang. However, Meng Zhang also possesses his own trump cards. In the end, we will have to wait and see who will have the last laugh.

Meng Zhang remains calm on the surface, as if he hasn't noticed anything at all. On the other hand, Xu Mengying tries to soothe the three members of the Jiang Family with gentle words, but she quickly changes the topic. Apparently, she is afraid of revealing certain secrets to Meng Zhang during their conversation.

However, she doesn't know that Meng Zhang, relying on his innate Divine Ability - Mind Reading, has already gleaned everything he needs to know from the three members of the Jiang Family.

Xu Mengying 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 Mengying, and the two Jiang Family elders beside him occasionally chip in with additional information.

With the involvement of the Jiang Family cultivator, their impact is indeed immense. In no time, 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 Mengying doesn't have much time to waste. Now that everyone has planned accordingly, it's time to take immediate 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 numerous 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 same 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 seemed 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 become 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 time they launched an invasion, the major cultivation forces in the vicinity had to exert significant efforts to drive them back.

If it weren't for the sake of a swift resolution to avoid causing chaos within the entire sect, Meng Zhang and the others wouldn't need to resort to sneak attacks.

Meng 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 meets his demise.

Xu Mengying 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, Extreme 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 members 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 some life-saving tricks up their sleeves. After launching her sneak attack, she failed to quickly take them all down, giving them time 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 become targets of slaughter. For the lower-level cultivators in the sect, coming to this place means either dying in vain or facing no outcome other than death.
