Chapter 2275: He Was Probably an Expert
Zhao Bo breathed a sigh of relief. At least these people were no longer focusing on the Zhao Clan Stronghold.
However, Zhao Bo was still burdened by some thoughts.
Why would the people of the demonic sect do something like this?
How idiotic must they be to lose such a rare book?
Anyhow, it’d be in his favor to successfully cultivate the first volume of ‘Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts’ before the martial alliance conference.
If he succeeded, he could be re-elected as the martial alliance leader, and then…
Zhao Bo was growing to distrust this nephew, who had returned from the demonic sect, more and more.
“Amitabha.” Hui Ji walked to Ning Shu’s side. “Does Benefactor not feel guilty about acting like this?”
“Little monk, don’t talk nonsense.” Ning Shu stared at Hui Ji. “I didn’t do anything.”
Hui Ji stared at Ning Shu with clear eyes. His eyelashes were very long, and Ning Shu could see her reflection in his eyes.
“You can look at me all you want. I didn’t do it.” Ning Shu spread her hands. “You keep staring at me every day, aren’t you tired of it?”
Ning Shu stretched her body. It seemed that it was time to leave the Zhao Clan Stronghold, but she had to set a fire before she left.
She had to go back to the Sacred Demonic Cult and quickly take the medicine. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to return to being a girl in the future, and she’d really become a person with both a full chest and Adam’s apple.
“Little monk, do you know martial arts?” Ning Shu asked.
Hui Ji nodded. “I know a little bit.”
Ning Shu’s eyes whirled. Since this little monk was very humble, he was probably an expert.
But if that was true, how did she manage to rob him of his bag?
Did he let himself be robbed?
Ning Shu wanted to fight against Hui Ji. After thinking about it, though, she let go of the notion. What would be the point of bullying a child?
Ning Shu turned around and left.
“Amitabha.”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. This brat couldn’t influence her. She was the demonic enchantress.
Ning Shu asked Mei Wu to pack up her things and prepare to leave. Mei Wu was very happy and quickly packed up everything.
Ning Shu went to the woodshed and took some firewood and poured oil on them. She lit them and threw them into Zhao Bo’s study.
She then lit the whole woodshed on fire before taking Mei Wu away.
Before she left, she even carved some words on the wall at the gate of the Zhao Clan Stronghold.
Holding the dagger and using energy from her dantian, she engraved the words “Zhao Bo you thief, sooner or later what belongs to the Sacred Demonic Sect will be returned.”
These carved words were very deep and large.
Then, Ning Shu and Mei Wu got on their horses and galloped away.
Everyone in the Zhao Clan Stronghold was busy trying to put out the fire. They couldn’t care less about how Ning Shu was nowhere to be found.
Ning Shu turned her head and saw the fire blazing from the direction of the Zhao Clan Stronghold and the light illuminating the sky red.
“Yip, yip!” Ning Shu kicked the horse’s belly, raised her whip, and her horse’s hoofs sharply sounded.
When she was passing by a town to rest, Ning Shu overheard many people discussing Zhao Clan Stronghold’s fire.
Many people speculated that the leader of the martial alliance stole from the demonic sect, and the fire was the demonic sect’s retaliation against Zhao Clan Stronghold.
Some people even whispered that the things Leader Zhao had stolen could allow people to become immortals. Once they got them, they’d be able to soar into the sky and become immortals and gods.
Ning Shu: …
What an outrageous rumor.
Soaring into the sky?
The demonic sect probably released this rumor. The more bizarre it was, the faster it’d spread.
Zhao Bo was the leader of the martial alliance, after all. The more people focused on Zhao Bo, the more beneficial it would be for the demonic sect.
Right now, the righteous sects had no time to attack the demonic sect. They were all muddle-headed, not knowing whether or not to pursue that disciple from the Everlasting Sect who ran off, allegedly with the book, or to look for Zhao Bo and demand it from him.
They split instead into two. On one hand, they sent people to track down the disciples of the Everlasting Sect. On the other hand, they were also watching the Zhao Clan Stronghold.
At the same time, Zhao Bo himself issued a bounty to the martial world. The target was Zhao Yi, who used to be part of the demonic sect and was called Qi Yi. Anyone who could kill him would get five hundred tales of gold and could also become a disciple of the Zhao Clan Stronghold.
Ning Shu saw the bounty. Five hundred taels of gold was quite a huge sum of money.
