201: Black Tiger Suppression Team Member +1
Silver Moon gritted her teeth.
“Damn it, how did this little one go to the human kingdom and learn all these things instead of anything else?”
She had just felt that she had the upper hand over Jiang Ning in their verbal exchange, but her sister’s words immediately made her lose all face.
It was so embarrassing!
Jiang Ning took a deep, awkward breath.
“Heavens… how am I supposed to respond to this?”
“Little White, does your sister agree with you saying these things?”
Shen Jinhuan clenched her fists.
“That hateful Little White.”
She had just suppressed this little bit of mischief, and now it was trying to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble again!
It seemed the last suppression wasn't thorough enough.
The Grand Elder and Second Elder exchanged glances, then bowed and retreated.
This was not for them to hear; they would respectfully take their leave first.
But why were their ears always perked up, always listening for sounds from behind them!
Silver Moon telekinetically moved Little White away.
She reached out and stroked her fur backward.
“Little White! Where did you learn all these things! Explain yourself!”
Little White blinked, saying innocently, “What’s wrong with this? I showed your portrait to a friend, and the friend said you’re even prettier than the most popular courtesan at some establishment.”
Silver Moon paused, “Some establishment… most popular courtesan?”
Shen Jinhuan crossed her arms and said coldly, “She’s talking about Yihongyuan, a brothel.”
Silver Moon: “!!!”
“Little White! Prepare to be spanked!”
“Sister, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Jiang Ning sighed.
It seemed he couldn’t let Little Black, that “socialite,” interact with Little White anymore.
A few breaths later.
Little White sulked in a corner, “calming down.”
The atmosphere between Jiang Ning, Shen Jinhuan, and Silver Moon, however, improved significantly.
Silver Moon’s pretty face was still red. She forced a smile and said, “Children are ignorant, please forgive their antics.”
Jiang Ning also chuckled dryly, “I understand, I understand… children will be children…”
Shen Jinhuan glanced at the two of them.
A moment later.
The two humans and one fox sat down.
Silver Moon became much more serious and asked, “You generally know the purpose of your visit this time, but I think your idea is unfeasible.”
“To gather many Nascent Soul Stage - Early Phase Cultivators to fight against veteran Nascent Soul Mid-stage Cultivators, that’s almost impossible.”
“And have you considered this?”
“Even if you succeed in killing Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu, how will you deal with the Grand Marshal of the Tiance Military Prefecture?”
“He is a Cultivator in the Late Stage Nascent Soul, with one foot already in Nascent Soul Perfection!”
“Moreover, the Pavilion Master of Linghuang Pavilion once said that if we were to rank the top combat powers in the Xuanhuang Domain, the Grand Marshal of the Tiance Military Prefecture should be in the first position.”
Jiang Ning hummed in acknowledgment.
“Everything you said is correct, but what I need is for you to create an opportunity for me to attack.”
His Space Law was stuck at the Perfection of the beginner stage. To increase his proficiency, he estimated he would have to wait until his Realm improved or he reached the Deity Transformation Realm directly.
But even so, his current control over Law was definitely stronger than Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu’s.
Moreover, Space Law is a strong Law.
It was immeasurably stronger than Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu’s Dao of Command.
However, the strength of a Law is not solely determined by itself; it also depends on the person using it.
Jiang Ning’s current understanding of Space Law allowed him to use three spatial lotuses to tear open the space in a certain area, then force Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu into it.
Let the spatial turbulence tear Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu to shreds!
The Spiritual Qi intensity of the Nascent Soul Realm was not enough to protect the body from being torn apart by the turbulence.
Even a Nascent Soul residing in the Qi Sea would be destroyed the moment the body shattered and exited!
Jiang Ning continued, “I have a sure-kill method; I just lack an opportunity. All you need to do is create that opportunity for me.”
“As for your concerns about clashes between forces, you’re overthinking it.”
“If the Tiance Military Prefecture loses a Marshal, its strength will be greatly weakened. Will Yaoguang Immortal Palace, Yingtong Merchant Guild, and even first-rate forces like Linghuang Pavilion not want a piece of the pie?”
“I admit, the Grand Marshal of the Tiance Military Prefecture alone is enough to stabilize the Realm.”
“But he also has to consider the overall situation of the Xuanhuang Domain.”
Silver Moon shook her head.
“That’s true, but I imagine if the Grand Marshal of the Tiance Military Prefecture makes a move, it would only be to kill you. How would you escape?”
Jiang Ning chuckled.
He had thought of this long ago.
The answer was, he could only run.
His reliance was that Small World. He would have to spend some time in the Small World, at least until the Grand Marshal’s rage wasn't so intense.
Then he would seek further development.
After all, Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu was currently forcing him to not show himself easily. After killing Marshal Xuan Hu, it would just be a different person forcing him to not show himself.
No difference.
Furthermore, if he hid for a year, entered the Tianshan Cold Pool, and consumed a wave of resources, it would be uncertain who would kill whom after he emerged.
“I have my own plans. Even if he makes a move, it will only be directed at me. He won't kill everyone else, as that would provoke a backlash from other forces.”
“The Xuanhuang Domain became what it is today because of the delicate balance between forces.”
“Killing three or four Nascent Souls at once is no small matter.”
Silver Moon nodded.
This was indeed true.
However, she was still very hesitant.
She asked, “I need to know, who else do you plan to find?”
Jiang Ning answered truthfully, “A friend named Flowing Water should make a move, and there’s also the Pavilion Master of Linghuang Pavilion. It is said that as long as Linghuang Pavilion is paid a sufficient price,”
“The Pavilion Master can actually accept missions. I will go inquire about the price.”
“Besides that, I will communicate with the Yingtong Merchant Guild.”
“If I can persuade them, plus you, that makes a total of five Nascent Soul Stage - Early Phase Cultivators. I think it’s worth a try.”
Jiang Ning also spoke with a bit of a bluff.
He and Flowing Water were hardly friends; when Flowing Water saved him back then, it was definitely mostly for practical considerations.
He didn’t think too much about it; what he could do was offer “benefits” to move others.
“Ya ya ya!” The Silver Moon Snow Fox said unhappily, “So you came to me first! You haven’t even clarified things with the others yet!”
“Is it because you think I’m easy to talk to, so you came to persuade me first!”
Jiang Ning waved his hand, “How could that be? Huanhuan and Little White are companions who have faced life and death together. Huanhuan is my disciple, and Little White is your sister. According to human custom, our two families are related.”
“I definitely have to come to the closer relationship first.”
“Once this is settled, I’ll go lobby the others.”
Silver Moon brightened considerably upon hearing this.
“You just say these things, but no one makes people do this and that without giving benefits! Tell me, if I agree, what benefit will you give?”
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “I’ll give you three Nascent Soul Tribulation Pills.”
He had noticed it since he arrived.
Among the Snow Fox clan, besides the two Elders with charming looks and alluring figures, there was another Elder who was also at the Late Stage Golden Core cultivation.
They needed these Medicinal Pills. Once one of them broke through to Nascent Soul,
The Snow Fox clan would be able to leave this ice cave.
Silver Moon was stunned.
“Damn, this man, he has such deep resources!”
It was hard to refuse.
Silver Moon gritted her teeth.
“Alright! But let’s be clear, if you can’t gather five people, our agreement automatically becomes void.”
“It’s a deal!”
Jiang Ning smiled.
It was done!
Marshal Xuan Hu’s expedition team member +1!
