Chapter 278: The Price of… (1)

Thats right! Thats right! She must be a hidden expert. Her shenfa was terrifyingly fast If she didnt possessed top-class psychokinesis cultivation, it would be impossible for her to display such skill!

In succession, everyone retorted.

Deny it all you want. The man elegants smiling appearance, that was like a spring breeze, became obscured. But dont regret it later. His figure rose and could no longer be seen on the branch.

Everyone,

The notion of obtaining a qilin is extremely tempting. If that small girl really was trash and they were scared off by a few words of hers

They all looked at each other in dismay. After a moment, someone left to chase after Ning Xuemo. Of course, no one was willing to lag behind the others, fearing that it would be snatched by someone else at the key moment. So in succession, they started to chase after Ning Xuemo

In a short span of time, the place became a deserted open space.

The red-clothed mans figure reappeared on the branch. His jade-like hand was stroking his chin as his gaze looked into the distance, in the direction where Ning Xuemo was going. Little girl, you need to pay a certain price for scheming against me

How she will deal with this crisis this time?

A trace of expectation flashed through his dark sea green eyes.

..

At this moment, Ning Xuemo who mounted the little qilin had already crossed the Third Peak and started crossing the Second Peak.

Master, youre very cool! The little qilin thought about that blood boiling scene from before. I never expected that one trick on that old man would allow us to leave freely! How did you do that?

Ning Xuemo was silent for a moment. Cough! Earlier, I poisoned him

Ah? You didnt defeat him?

Ning Xuemo coughed once more and told the truth, If I were to fight him, it would have been impossible for me to defeat him.

The little qilin inquired, But he didnt look like he was poisoned, no? I saw that they used silver needles when examining him.

If everyone can diagnose poisoning like this, how would I be able to shock them? Ning Xuemo smiled and patted the little qilins head. Earlier, I used a strategy from Sun Zis Art of War[1] called the empty city stratagem[2].

Sun Zis Art of War? The Art of War written by Sun Zi is so awesome. That Old Zi who wrote it must also be awesome. Master, you should use Old Zis Art of War Even if the little qilin only understood half of the strategy, it was still excited about Ning Xuemos plan earlier.

Ning Xuemos eyes twitched. Old Zi (Laozi)[3] didnt write the Art of War. He only wrote a book called The Book of the Way of Virtue. Sun Zi is only his honorific. His real name is Sun Wu Ning Xuemo started to impart her worlds general knowledge to the little qilin.

The situation earlier was extremely dangerous. First, she acted out with an enigmatic, high and mighty demeanor to suppress those people. Next, as she passed by the Vice Hallmaster, she scattered poisonous powder. That kind of poisonous powder had a sweet fragrance. By itself, the powder had no harmful effects if someone took a whiff of it. When she was attacked by the vice hallmaster, she took advantage of that moment to use her qinggong combined with her special footworks to fly past the vice hallmaster and in a flash, scattered another type of poison.

When both poisons are combined, the toxicity immediately flared up, causing that insufferably arrogant vice hallmaster to collapse while simultaneously shocking everyone else. Finally, she made the little qilin summon all kinds of ferocious beasts to guard her rear, reinforcing her image as a mysterious and untouchable expert in order to deflate everyones courage to chase after her

In fact, to create the facade of an unfathomable expert and bluffing her way out, she was relying on her acting skills, her abnormal poisoning techniques, her first-class qinggong, and her unique footwork.

Her whole plan was based on the principle of Zhuge Liangs empty city strategy.

Although at that time she appeared calm and collected, the truth was her palms were sweating from nervousness.

Currently, her inner force was already on the verge of a breakthrough, yet her psychokinesis was so-so. Therefore, she could only rely on her qinggong. If she didnt used it, she would absolutely not be able to escape!

[2] That stratagem, which is part of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, was highly popularized in the fiction of Romance of the Three Kingdoms when Zhuge Liang used reversed psychology to stop the opposing army from attack the city. In fact, theres still debate on who was the exact author of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, but popular opinions mostly attributed it to Sun Zi. For more information on the stratagem itself, click here.

[3] (Lao Zi) can be understood in two ways. The first is Old Zi, as Old is pronounced Lao in Chinese. However, theres a very famous figure called Laozi which is the founder of Taoism (Daoist) and wrote a well-known book in China called The Book of the Way of Virtue.
