Chapter 297 - Girl Mastermind (1/2)

On her wheelchair, Qiu Jin'er dashed away with uncanny speed. Almost at the same time, a total of a few hundred Qi Practitioners arrived at the same village whose totem pillar Qiu Jin'er destroyed. As they were about to ask for information from the village elders, the entire village was turned into a sword jungle!

The swords rampaged everywhere, slicing and dicing everything in their paths. They buried the entire village and the Qi Practitioners under the debris!

And when the Sword Qi disappeared, so did the village and half of the Qi Practitioners. Those who were lucky enough to escape death did not pull it off unharmed, they were all injured heavily.

"Tsk tsk… Women are dangerous when they snap," praised the demon ladies with a laugh on their faces.

The pretty eyes of Tian Mo Concubine rolled around, and she said softly, "Innate Wood Spirit Body Qiu Jin'er… Swords Gate has quite some talented disciples it seems. At first, there was this Innate Sun Spirit Body Zhong Yue, and now this Innate Wood Spirit Body Qiu Jin'er… She was outshone by Zhong Yue, which caused the celestial races to overlook her talents but she has shown her fangs this time when Zhong Yue was crippled."

Meanwhile, the pursuers' faces turned dark and one by one they helped those who managed to survive Qiu Jin'er's trap and sent them back to the Fiery Capital for treatment.

"With Zhong Yue being a burden now, she will not be able to run far away."

The Qi Practitioners continued with their pursuit. Not long later, they arrived at the spot where Qiu Jin'er summoned her vine men. There were no more Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioners because all of them were killed in the oasis, but the pursuers did not fret as they too had their own tracking experts. These experts immediately looked around and examined the traces, and they all came to one conclusion: Qiu Jin'er's had split into over ten paths that went in different directions!

"Such a cunning lady…." exclaimed the pursuers as they had an extreme headache because of the difficulties caused by Qiu Jin'er.

Her scent that had initially been directing them in one direction had suddenly splintered off to over ten paths. How were they supposed to find her now? The scent paths were virtually indistinguishable from one another?

However, only one of them was real, but if they went after all of them, it would be extremely time-consuming!

"Follow me. We will have to request help from the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!"

A Martial Master from the Xia Family shouted, "The other senior martial brothers, we shall all split up here, and we will follow all of these traces. She must not have gone far by now and when you find her, immediately give us a signal!"

Everyone nodded and proceeded to split up. They each picked their own directions and with the large number of pursuers, every path ended up with at least 30 Qi Practitioners.

Other than that, in each group, there would be an Inner Core Qi Practitioner. Although their overall power was strong enough to handle Qiu Jin'er, the Inner Core Qi Practitioner was still worried that Qiu Jin'er might get away from them. Thus, they decided that they would send out the signal before engaging.

"Concubine, this Innate Wood Spirit Body is not to be underestimated," advised a demon lady.

Tian Mo Concubine then said, "All of this, however, has nothing to do with us. We're just here to watch, let's go."

The demon ladies then said, "Stupid and idiotic celestial races, no wonder they are being seen as another form of spirit herbs by us, failing even to capture a human girl. If it were us...hehehe…."

Tian Mo Concubine shook her head and said, "We're here to watch, don't provoke them."

With that said, the demon ladies around her could only suppress their thoughts and refrain from interfering.

At the same time, all of the pursuers ended up with nothing as not even one of them managed to locate Qiu Jin'er. Not long later, the help from Xiao Mang Celestial Race arrived, and the Martial Master from the Xia Family gathered everyone together and asked for the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioner to lead the way as they pursued Qiu Jin'er.

However, the face of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioner darkened, and he said as he stopped suddenly, "The Zhong Yue's scent has been split into fourteen."

The Xia Family's Martial Master immediately asked, "So which is real and which is fake?"

"We can't tell..." lamented the Xiao Mang Qi Practitioner.

Left with no other options, the pursuers split into fourteen groups and went down each of the fourteen directions. Not long later, they came across some articles of clothing that were soaked in Zhong Yue's blood at the end of the trail, hanging on a tree branch and flapping with the wind.

They didn't feel particularly frustrated as they only thirteen of the fourteen scent trails had the torn clothing. This could only mean the remaining one was the direction that Qiu Jin'er went down. But shortly after following that particular path to its end, they felt the patience begin to boil over. Qiu Jin'er had pulled the same trick all over again, splitting her scent into fourteen directions!

Obviously, Qiu Jin'er tore the clothes on Zhong Yue and hung them on her vine men before sending them away in each direction again.

The furious Martial Master from Xia Family then said to a girl beside him, "Xia Jingyan, go to the next village and use the totem pillars to contact Mister Changkong, request for his help!"

The girl was shocked, "Mister Changkong? Zhu Changkong from the Zhu Rong Family?"

"That's right! He is searching for Zhong Yue on the north side, and as a Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioner, it will take at most a day before he arrives! Senior martial brothers, we shall continue our pursuit. There is only so much clothing she can tear off before she has nothing left to use!"

Beside Tian Mo Concubine, a demon lady rolled her eyes as she looked at the scene and said, "Disappointing, failing to capture even a little human girl. They are getting played like fools. I can't believe we were all chased out of the continent by them all those years ago!"
