I finish the first sentence and someone does a last minute vote and I'm like, ehhh okay, I'll do this stuff tomorrow, time for some other stuff instead. Procrastination strikes with the flimsiest of excuses. :M

I just hope we get a lot of Armaiti waifu points. We'll need them for when the current positions get vacated.

You worry too much. Those three have plenty of firepower and skills as is.

And we'll need Armaiti's techniques to keep the veiled lady off-balance anyway.

I just reread the update where we asked Yunzi to stop Liu Chanfeng from leaving. You guys should read it too and discuss before it. Maybe then you will see the error in your ways.

ERYFKRAD, Grimgravy, Rex Feral, could you flop to 3A? Right now the major points raised are:
  1. We need Armaiti to help us with rescuing the emperor so that Shun will be able to declare amnesty for the Fire Cult. (Jing is not even announced as the leader yet and the Amesha Spenta need to be proven as trustworty.) We're going to need this in case Nie Wuxing or Zhang Manlou tries to lead a crusade on the Fire Cult, whether for the Wuxiang Qiankun manual or to destroy our power base, and in case we want to invite the Amesha Spenta to stomp the Huashan Summit with us.
  2. Conventional weapons don't seem to be as effective on this veiled lady (especially if she uses Shun as a hostage), so Armaiti's battlefield shaking moves and Yiyang Finger are more important for taking her down.
  3. Yunzi and Qilin should not try to fight anyway (legendary techs on Nie Wuxing + lots of masters makes victory unrealistic) but use stealth/diplomacy/escape, so the answer isn't more firepower. Worst come to worst, Murong Yandi could buy the girls a bit of time while they run off (high agi/stealth/qinggong) and Nie Wuxing would not kill him since he does not want to make an enemy out of the Sword Saint. He also wouldn't want to chase the girls since his priority is securing the sword.

I would like to point out that Armaiti's battlefield shaking move really doesn't so great when there is one enemy and lots of allies. Unless you want to even the battlefield for the enemy? And do we even know what that finger technique does or are these just pointless speculations all around?

Who says Murong Yandi is going to stay and fight while girls run off? Why wouldn't that person be Yunzi? And it's pretty bad tactic to stay behind alone when you don't have any means to escape after your friends are gone.

We know what the Yiyang Finger does. Xuxian used it during the Tufan Tournament. It's "a piercing lance of qi." As for Armaiti's battlefield shaking moves, treave, can you explain what they are and how they work? Armaiti can selectively target with them, right?

Why would Yunzi be the one to stay behind? Yunzi of all people cannot afford to be captured by Nie Wuxing. Just because she's hot-blooded doesn't mean she's retarded. Murong Yandi's escape tactic is that Changguan Chuji will rescue him if Nie Wuxing does not release him.

That's just... retarded. Being an apprentice to a master level fighter doesn't make you immortal. Basically you are asking Yandi to throw his life away so that our waifus can escape.

TOME, trying to fight them for real is retarded. Murong Yandi would only have to hold them off for a moment. Nie Wuxing is not about to kill him considering he does not want to make an enemy of the Sword Saint.

And all of this is assuming they don't manage to diplomacy their way out of it, like by saying they're here to follow through on the promise to safeguard the Xuanyuan Sword. Qilin is damn good at fast-talking and Murong Yandi's presence would give her some good excuses. Armaiti's presence, on the other hand, would ruin these odds of diplomacy because OMG SO MUCH FIRE CULT.

Then why would Nie Wuxing kill Qilin or Yunzi? He does not want to make an enemy of the Man Tiger Pig either. That logic is just wishful thinking.

We have no way of knowing what will happen once you lose sight of them. There may be fighting or there may not. We should cover our bases and not count on hope that there won't be fighting.

Wait!

Besides, Jing will be asking Yunzi to handle the crazy woman.
It looks that way. Unless E: bribe a passing duck to bite her ankles makes a surprise come from behind victory.
Do you... do you imply The Duck is involved here, too?

Otherwise I can't see what you are getting at.

TOME, he wouldn't kill Qilin because his wife would chop off his balls. He would kill Yunzi because she's evil fire cult. As for Jing, we're already enemies.

And we are covering our bases. That's why Murong Yandi is there. In a sword fight, he is the strongest member of our crew.

Besides, with 2 people who Nie Wuxing has distinct incentives not to kill and only 1 person he would consider killing, odds are solid that Qilin can talk their way out of it.
