Chapter 2254: It Is a Fake
“It is a fake,” Ye Hua said.
Ning Shu: …
Such a high-quality forgery!
“This is the ‘Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts’ that you will bring to meet those people,” Ye Hua said.
Ning Shu nodded. “I see. I will go prepare myself.
“Is this manual entirely fake?” A forgery must contain at least some genuine things. No one would fall for it if it was completely fake.
And if a master of martial arts took a look at it, the master would recognize it as a fake with one glance.
“Ninety percent of its content is true,” Ye Hua said. “But don’t even think about cultivating it. You can’t cultivate this thing.”
Ning Shu nodded again. “I understand.”
Ning Shu shifted her gaze. “Brother, can you cultivate it?”
Ye Hua glanced at Ning Shu. “This manual is not something you can cultivate simply because you own it. The manual must also pick you.”
Ning Shu caught the implicit meaning of Ye Hua’s words. Ye Hua himself did not cultivate it, but nor did he give the manual for others to cultivate.
If someone else was actually able to cultivate this manual, Ye Hua’s rule over the Sacred Demonic Sect would be overthrown.
“Tell me when you will leave. I will send people to hunt you down,” Ye Hua said. “Be careful.”
Ning Shu returned to her room with the items, and then casually flipped through the forged Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts manual.
This was actually a very crude and rudimentary cultivation technique. Since it was a secret cultivation manual, something like a spiritual root was required for its cultivators.
Without a spiritual root, an ordinary person could practice until they die and there’d be not a single bit of progress.
Ning Shu tied her hair into a man bun, changed into men’s clothing, and then took out the sheet of face skin and put it on her face.
The face skin was tightly pressed against her skin. After taking a look at the bronze mirror, Ning Shu saw that she indeed looked a bit like the ‘jade-faced young master,’ Qi Yi, although she was a little shorter and her frame was a little smaller.
Ning Shu exited the room with her bundle of belongings. Mei Wu was waiting for her outside the door. Ning Shu stared at Mei Wu and said, “Are you really going to follow me?”
“I need to protect the young miss’s body,” Mei Wu said.
Ning Shu didn’t care. She and Mei Wu initially exited the Sacred Demonic Peak without any hindrance.
They headed towards the town nearest to the Sacred Demonic Peak.
However, they were then ambushed on the road by some people sent by Ye Hua.
Ning Shu deliberately allowed them to injure her, and Mei Wu was also wounded.
When they ran, the group pursued them.
Ning Shu collected more and more wounds along the way, although none of them needed urgent attention.
They eventually made the exhausting journey to the small town, but once they arrived, the group caught up with them and they had to run again. In broad daylight, Ning Shu and Mei Wu were chased on the streets and even overturned many small stalls.
They cut very sorry figures. They were covered in blood and they seemed like they had run out of energy. They could only barely support themselves.
When they pa.s.sed by a restaurant, a few distinguished young men in white clothing with swords at their waists leaped down from the window and stood protectively in front of Ning Shu and Mei Wu.
They looked very imposing.
“Bold evildoers of the demonic sects, how dare you try to murder people in broad daylight!?”
“Who are you? I’m only chasing a traitor of the Sacred Demonic Sect. Keep your nose out of it!” said the leader fiercely.
“Bah, it’s the rats from the Sacred Demonic Sect! The lot of you cover yourselves in black from head to toe every day, even hiding your faces. Are you that ashamed of yourselves?” said one of the youths.
