By the time Xiang Mantang arrived, a female student was already performing emergency rescue on Mei Yinxue.
Initially, a few male students had attempted to give Mei Yinxue artificial respiration, but the instructor, fully aware of Mei Yinxue's identity, sent them flying with a kick and then arranged for a female student to take over.
After Xiang Mantang got there and saw that Mei Yinxue seemed to be without any serious trouble, he just stood by, waiting for the female student to finish the cardiopulmonary resuscitation before sending her to the hospital.
"Make way."
Jian Ruyan, holding a round elixir, parted the crowd while telling the girl administering emergency treatment to Mei Yinxue to step aside.
The girl, knowing Jian Ruyan's identity, obediently retreated to one side upon hearing her command.
Then, Jian Ruyan fed the elixir in her hand to Mei Yinxue.
Soon after, Mei Yinxue's originally pale complexion began to bloom with a healthy flush after taking Jian Ruyan's elixir. Before long, she also opened her eyes in a daze.
"What happened to me... ?"
Mei Yinxue couldn't quite remember what had just happened.
She only remembered being in the middle of training, didn't she?
Why were all these people surrounding her now?
"All right, Sister Mei, you rest first; everyone else, follow me back to training!"
The instructor glanced cautiously at Xiang Mantang a few times, and sighing with relief upon seeing that he bore no blame, didn't dare to ask Mei Yinxue to continue training but instead called the rest to resume!
"Wait for me..."
Seeing that they were about to continue training, Mei Yinxue struggled, trying to get up and join them.
"You should rest for a bit."
Xiang Mantang stood to the side, sighing softly.
"Yes," Jian Ruyan also spoke up, advising, "The pill I gave you is no ordinary one. You should have a cultivation method, right? Hurry up and sit down, circulate your cultivation technique, and cultivate a bit. Don't waste it."
Hearing Jian Ruyan's words, Mei Yinxue reacted and immediately sensed the massive surge of spiritual energy starting to well up within her.
"Is this... the elixir she just administered to me?"
With that thought, Mei Yinxue quickly sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began operating her cultivation technique.
She originally had no cultivation technique, only knowing some rudimentary martial arts taught by her adoptive father. As for the cultivation method she was practicing now, naturally, it was given to her by Mu Jinyu when she had been curious about cultivation.
However, no matter how she practiced with Mu Jinyu, there was little progress due to her age, and she had nearly given up on cultivating.
If it weren't for Mu Jinyu's recent mishap, she probably wouldn't have resumed cultivation at all.
At that moment, as Mei Yinxue closed her eyes and started to cultivate using the technique Mu Jinyu had taught her, she immediately felt a warm current begin to flow towards her limbs...
Watching Mei Yinxue immerse into the state of cultivation, Xiang Mantang was reassured, withdrew his gaze, and looked towards Jian Ruyan.
In truth, Mei Yinxue's earlier fainting and shock were not serious, merely resulting from excessive fatigue, which didn't warrant the use of an elixir for treatment.
If it were anyone other than Mei Yinxue, Xiang Mantang would have probably told Jian Ruyan that she was being too wasteful.
But due to Mei Yinxue's relationship with Mu Jinyu, Xiang Mantang naturally had no grounds to reproach Jian Ruyan.
He even understood that Jian Ruyan's wastefulness was completely for his sake.
"What? Is there something wrong?" Jian Ruyan asked, seeing Xiang Mantang looking at her.
"No, thank you!" Xiang Mantang shook his head as he expressed his gratitude.
He then fell silent, calculating the extent to which Mei Yinxue's strength would reach after refining the elixir given to her by Jian Ruyan.
Mei Yinxue was already a martial artist at the peak of Mingjin. With the help of this elixir, breaking through to Dark Energy should not be a problem.
If she were to join him, and with Jian Ruyan's protection, they could possibly enable her to personally exact revenge on Shen Cangsheng!
With this in mind, Xiang Mantang took out his cell phone and started sending messages to San Liu, Nameless, Zeus, and Snake, asking them to quickly come to Capital City.
Indeed, in the absence of any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and only having found the Wood Spirit Bead, Xiang Mantang was preparing to head to the Kunlun Ruins to confront Shen Cangsheng and his backing sect, the Tianhe Sword Sect!
Originally, upon learning that the Tianhe Sword Sect's elder ancestor was a strong warrior in the Divine Realm, Xiang Mantang was somewhat apprehensive, and before successfully rescuing Mu Jinyu, he was not planning to rashly seek revenge!
But now that he had also reached the Divine Realm, he had no such concerns!
The elder ancestor of the Tianhe Sword Sect was at most in the Mid Stage of the Divine Realm, whereas he, although in the Early Stage of Divine Realm, would not be much weaker than the elder ancestor when he used the Forbidden Secret Technique "Blood Phoenix Slaughter Art"!
Half a day later.
Sitting in meditation, Mei Yinxue slowly exhaled and opened her eyes, a sharp light flickering in them.
She felt better than she ever had before.
Mei Yinxue also became a Dark Energy Warrior after taking that elixir.
During the time Mei Yinxue was cultivating,
All the top-grade assassins that Xiang Mantang had summoned had also arrived.
"Sister-in-law, are you finished?" Xiang Mantang saw Mei Yinxue awaken and asked.
"Yes," Mei Yinxue nodded, getting up from the ground.
Xiang Mantang said, "I am going to find the murderer who harmed my senior brother and avenge him. Do you want to go?"
Although he thought Mei Yinxue would want to go, he was not entirely certain, so he decided to ask her first.
Mei Yinxue was startled, then quickly nodded and said, "I want to go!"
"Alright, then let's get ready," Xiang Mantang nodded and replied.
Although he really wanted to kill Shen Cangsheng himself, after extensive deliberation, he ultimately decided that Mei Yinxue should be the one to do it.
Since Gu Xiyan and Wen Rou were just ordinary people, even if they understood that Mu Jinyu's death was orchestrated by Shen Cangsheng, they might not have the resolve to kill him.
But Mei Yinxue was already a notable figure in the Jianghu of River City, accustomed to bloodshed, so letting her personally take down Shen Cangsheng for Mu Jinyu's vengeance seemed most appropriate.
"Okay," said Mei Yinxue, preparing to retrieve her Blood-Drinking Sword from her residence. Her gaze casually swept over the people behind Xiang Mantang and suddenly paused, surprised, "Zhu Yeqing?!"
The woman code-named "Snake," when hearing Mei Yinxue's incredulous exclamation, showed no emotion and said indifferently, "Long time no see, Sister Mei. Have you finally noticed me? I thought you had forgotten about your little sister!"
"Hmm?" Xiang Mantang, seeing their interaction, paused slightly and asked, "You know each other?"
Mei Yinxue looked at Zhu Yeqing with a complex expression and nodded lightly, saying, "Yes, speaking of which, we should be considered sworn sisters!"
It turned out that this top-grade assassin codenamed "Snake" was none other than Zhu Yeqing from the Mei Lan and Zhu Ju sisterhood!
Zhu Yeqing sneered and said, "Indeed, thanks to Sister Mei, who drove me out of River City back then; if not, I wouldn't have reached where I am today!"
Even knowing the impressive status of Mei Yinxue, Zhu Yeqing still confronted her without holding back!
