"Master, how could you just leave like that? I thought you'd at least kill one of the black mist beings."
By the lake's edge, Jiang Xiaobai was curious as he ate grilled fish.
From what he knew of his master, she was vindictive and never one to suffer a loss.
The plan was to kill one or two black mist beings, then flee in disarray, creating a false impression for the outsiders.
The idea was that they could not handle Gu Ning, but just needed more manpower.
Next time they met, the outsiders would surely send even more black mist beings without reserve.
That would achieve the desired effect.
No one would suspect that Gu Ning could easily annihilate those beings.
"Hehe, you don't understand. If I killed two this time, they'd send only twenty or thirty next time, which wouldn't be as effective."
