Ultimate Scheming System

Chapter 131

Ah?" Xu Que was astonished. "What’s the matter? Didn’t we say to set off tomorrow morning instead?"

"That was the initial plan but that won’t do any longer." Su Ling’er shook her head and pointed at the pills in Xu Que’s hands and continued, "These pills will bring disaster and death onto our tribe. We have to set off right now!"

"What’s the matter?" Xu Que frowned.

"There are two reason. The first is that there’s a traitor within our tribe, although I can’t be sure who it is yet. But once the traitor and the enemies knew of the fact that we have the Lightning Evasion Pill with us, the entire demonic human race will come down upon our tribe and kill us. Even the demonic beasts might turn against us."

When Su Ling’er spoke out, she paused for a second and looked at Xu Que apologetically, "The second reason is that the old granny of our race will imprison you once she hears the news of you being able to refine such a pill. At first, I wanted to invite you to join our tribe. But now… if you stay, I’m afraid you might never be able to leave."

"You don’t have to worry about this. Your old granny would never be able to restrain me against my will!" Xu Que replied plainly.

As for the first reason given by Su Ling’er, he was indeed worried.

The Lightning Evasion Pill wasn’t a huge deal to the human race, since it didn’t have much use. After all, human cultivators wouldn’t have a difficult time with their Tribulations. At least, that was the case from previous stories. Hence, the Lightning Evasion Pill wasn’t considered to be very valuable to humans and wasn’t worth learning. Hence, the art to refining such a pill was eventually lost.

However, to other races like demonic beasts or demonic humans, this pill was extremely precious and valuable. A hundred Vitality Pills wouldn’t even be enough to trade for a single Lightning Evasion Pill. What’s more, now that Xu Que had refined ten in one shot, should the demonic beasts hear about this news, they would most certainly attempt to capture him.

Xu Que was the least afraid of confrontation or being involved in battles. He had many tricks up his sleeves to defend himself. But if he were to run now, he would implicate the entire Sky Demon Tribe. That was against his morals to implicate innocent parties.

Hence it was true that these Lightning Evasion Pills really couldn’t remain within the Sky Demon Tribe. For having such valuable treasures would certainly invite trouble and death!

"Let’s not hesitate anymore. Let’s set off now and take advantage of the fact that they are still in the dark and make our way towards the Lightning Pool!" Su Ling’er seemed extremely anxious.

Xu Que nodded his head, "Eh, I shall go with you. But, would we be safe once we get to the Lightning Pool?"

"Of course we would be safe." Su Ling’er was shocked and looked suspiciously at Xu Que and lowered her voice, "Anyone who belongs to our race knows this. Apart from the day of the Thunder Tribulations, nobody would be able to use spells within the pool at any point in time. If not, the pool would attack the user! The Lightning Pool is the most sacred ground of our entire race. How can you not know that?"

"Ah-ha! I already said earlier that I was raised outside of our race’s territories since I was a kid! Alright, stop asking, let’s hurry up." Xu Que yawned before urging Su Ling’er to set off.

There were still some doubts within Su Ling’er’s heart. However, she still couldn’t see past Xu Que’s disguise puppet and the situation was indeed urgent. Hence, she casted all doubts out of her mind and took Xu Que deeper into the forests.
