Forge of Destiny(Xianxia Quest)

[X] Bound up the cliffs, heading for the black pool. Zeqing will be waiting, and Sun Liling is no match for her. It's a long run though.
 
Sun Liling had to get Yan Renshu to find us, rather than having someone stake out the route to Zeqing even though we habitually take this route every two weeks. Therefore she probably doesn't know that Zeqing exists or is friendly to us. She may be prepared for us to run "back to safety", but she won't expect us to run deeper into the mountains and won't feel as much need to catch us immediately instead of harrying us since she thinks we're just running further from help.

I just hope this doesn't bother Zeqing, I really like her.


Say, did we ever learn why it is/was dangerous to come close to Meizhen while she's asleep?

Running back - yeah, no.
This just won't work, because it is such an obvious move, Sun Liling cannot be unprepared for this.

Fighting we never managed to come close to defeating Bai in our spars, and Sun is her peer.

Thus the only option I see as not ending in our defeat automatically is to go for Zequing.
 
Oh man, that action to go inside the fortress has even worse consequences, eh?

Fuck Sun Liling then, beat us if you will, but looting our shinies? That means war!
 
Staying and fighting has a high chance of failure resulting in loss of the dress, and maybe storage ring, slippers and flute if the fight is even remotely in Ling Qi favor at any point. On the very low chance of actually pulling a win, Sun wouldn't lose much, beyond her gear which is probably easily remplacable (she obviously isn't going to carry valuable stuff unneeded to a fight).
And while it would be a social blow, it's far from crippling. Sure, the boost in rep for Ling Qi would be amazing, but it's not worth the risk.
Also, we will end up fighting her in the Tournament anyway.

Fleeing to Zeqing has a ... rather random chance of success. Alien mentality counter Zeqing probably noticing she screwed up (though definitively not understanting why and how). Considering the fact that the Sun princess is not retarded and will obviously not provoke the OPed Yukionna, and will more probably try to argue some sect or duel rule/law or an other, i'd say the overall chance of escaping that way is rather low.

Jumping down will obviously have some countermeasures from Sun, but with flying, shadow-step, raw speed, counter-formation/trap knowledge, and mist-form I'd say this is the best chance of getting out of this with our gear intact. Sun already proved her defensive formation/traps are sub-par.

[X]"Take a dive off the cliff and head for the safety of your allies. You can't honestly believe that Sun Liling doesn't have some countermeasures for this though."

Really. Our overconfidence (and stupidly bad luck I admit) from last week comes back to bite us and people are actually voting to fight Sun Liling? Good god the hubris is unbearable.

It would be absolutely hilarious if we could catch her in one of her own net arrows at some point but it's unlikely.

Time to create the Ling Family Secret Technique!

EDIT: Okay, this is a relief, for a while there, I thought people were seriously going to try and fight her.

I am tempted by the fight option. You learn more from an opponent who is better after all.
However, losing a couple of weeks to imprisonment would not be good for our tournament prospects.

We would certainly lose at least the dress, I doubt we would be imprisoned or lose our storage ring/more, still, it is possible.

Also, because she's a blood knight, she might accidentally cripple us and make us take weeks to recover. Nope, nope, all the nope.
 
One good reason I can see for fighting her is that it means this ends now. If we put up a decent enough fight, then even if we lose Liling should regard that as sufficient repayment for our infiltration of her fortress, meaning she won't specifically come after us again unless we do something else to poke her.

OTOH, if we successfully run and this ends inconclusively, she won't have repaid us for the poke in the eye we dealt her. Either she has to come for us later on, or she escalates and goes after one of our friends/our home.

Sun Liling is an optimized face puncher, Ling Qi is built around supporting people in mass fight. Thinking that Ling Qi can match Sun Liling in ber specialty is the height of hubris.

Sun is almost certainly prepared for Ling to run to her allies, but I don't think she knows about Zeqing, and Zeqing has no real motive to give Sun even an inch instead of protecting what's hers.

Also I hope for Hanyi interrupt.

[X] ask if Sun would be willing to accept an alternative challenge.
-[X] I have no chance against you in a straight fight and we both know it.

Disappointing lack of write ins. Really people. At least try to win.

Zequing might not help us, she might be mad. Although... Look at Cai, sun, the high realm cultivators. We're probably the weird one.

Fighting her... She might respect us more. But she's still going to beat us. Bad. I don't want to bleed out stranded on a mountain.
