Chapter 127: The Voice of Accusation, the Panicked Disciples of Fallen Maple Sect!

At these words, a terrifying pressure spread outward, bearing the force of mountains and seas as it pressed down upon everyone's hearts.

Every Purple Mansion realm Elder present tightened their expressions and hurriedly flew out from the crowd to stand before Gu Xingjian.

Thinking of the various rumors about Gu Xingjian, the Elders dared to be angry but not to speak; they could only lower their voices and say with an exceedingly respectful tone, "Gu Jianzong, is there some misunderstanding between us? We have never offended the Jiang family, have we?"

Gu Xingjian drew the sword at his waist as he spoke coldly, "Whether there is a misunderstanding or not is none of my concern. Whatever you have to say, save it for later. Right now, I only need to carry out the task the Clan Leader has given me."

Having spoken, he turned to look at the very top of the sect's main hall, his razor-sharp gaze landing upon the plaque inscribed with three gilded characters: "Fallen Maple Sect."

Under the tense watch of every disciple and Elder of Fallen Maple Sect.

Gu Xingjian held his sword in his left hand, activated the Return-to-Origin Sword Art, gathered Yuan force to cling to the blade, and suddenly thrust forward, unleashing a slash!

Whoosh—

A dazzling, terrifying sword-light illuminated the surroundings!

Divine radiance flowed, sword intent brimmed, and an unstoppable edge pressed down upon the entire scene!

Almost at the same instant, everyone felt a stinging, needle-like pain in their eyes and could not help but lower their heads, hurriedly squeezing their eyes shut!

Boom!

As Gu Xingjian's powerful slash, formed of Yuan force and sword intent, struck the Fallen Maple Sect plaque, the plaque shattered with a crash!

Immediately after, Yuan force ran rampant, sword Qi poured forth, and an endless stream of heaven-shaking sword intent formed a storm!

In an instant, the once grand and majestic sect main hall was as though hacked by ten thousand sharp swords, covered in dense, shocking, and horrifyingly deep sword scars!

When Gu Xingjian casually withdrew his long sword and turned to look back at the crowd.

Bang—

A muffled sound suddenly rang out, spreading across the entire sect grounds, falling clearly into the ears of every Fallen Maple Sect disciple.

They snapped their eyes open and looked forward.

They saw every wooden pillar within the sect's main hall snap with a crack.

The walls crumbled, collapsing with a thunderous crash, dust billowing into the air, and in the blink of an eye, it became a shambles of ruins!

Seeing this scene.

In an instant, the entire venue fell so silent one could hear a pin drop!

Gulugulu......

Every Fallen Maple Sect disciple present felt extraordinarily tense and could not help but swallow.

Gu Xingjian paid no heed to the gazes around him.

He tightened his five fingers around the hilt, tilted the blade forward, and used the sword tip to point at the crowd.

"I need to return quickly to report back to the Clan Leader. To avoid wasting time, you all should come at me together."

Cold and contemptuous words rang out across the entire venue.

All six Purple Mansion realm Elders present revealed looks of fear, their expressions somewhat hesitant.

Judging from the force of that single sword displayed by this Gu Jianzong.

It was likely that even if all of them attacked together, they still probably would not be a match for him for even a single exchange.

But if they did not attack......

The six Purple Mansion Elders felt a wisp of killing intent emanating from Gu Xingjian and could not help but be struck with sudden dread.

Realizing that death awaited them either way, they immediately revealed fierce glints in their eyes, clenched their Yaguan tightly, drew their weapons one after another, and aimed them at Gu Xingjian.

"Attack!"

The crowd exchanged glances and surged forward in an instant.

Seeing this, Gu Xingjian remained composed, his expression not changing in the slightest.

When the first Purple Mansion Elder arrived before him.

Whoosh—

Gu Xingjian exerted force with his wrist; the blade sang clear, and like a long serpent, it struck toward the opponent to kill!

Facing this incomparably swift sword strike, whose trajectory could not even be captured by the naked eye, this Purple Mansion Elder had no way to evade and could only let the attack land on his body!

Fortunately, Gu Xingjian did not choose to take his life; he merely tapped lightly with the sword tip, instantly piercing through his dantian, then kicked out, sending him flying dozens of meters away!

Before he could launch an attack against the next one, five gleaming, razor-sharp long swords came in a sudden assault!

Gu Xingjian cast a casual glance, then his figure swayed slightly, like a phantom, leaving a trail of afterimages, and effortlessly evaded the combined pincer attack of the five Purple Mansion cultivators!

Taking advantage of the moment when all their attacks had missed and they had yet to react.

Gu Xingjian mobilized the Yuan force within his body, causing his speed to surge once more.

He flashed in front of the five.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

He thrust out five consecutive sword strikes, and every Purple Mansion Elder's dantian was ruthlessly pierced through!

Crimson blood stained their robes; the men's bodies went limp, and they collapsed to the ground one after another, wailing in agony!

The cultivation base they had painstakingly accumulated over several decades instantly crumbled away!

On the other side.

Seeing that all the Elders had attacked together, yet were still easily handled by Gu Xingjian and met with such a miserable end.

The many Fallen Maple Sect disciples revealed looks of terror, too frightened to even breathe.

They understood perfectly well in their hearts that today, Fallen Maple Sect was likely doomed.

Immediately after, they noticed Gu Xingjian's gaze sweep over.

Every Fallen Maple Sect disciple felt a chill in their heart, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, looking utterly terrified.

After witnessing Gu Xingjian's ferocious might, they all feared that he might turn his hand against them.

And once he did, how could they possibly have any hope of survival?
