Chapter 254: Moon Goddess’s Little Cunning! Attacking Mohist Mechanical City, Seeking the Illusion Sound Treasure Box!
If Li Mo knew what she was thinking, he would definitely ask her:
Where do you get the confidence to compare yourself to your Senior Sister?
It’s not that the Moon Goddess’s conditions are worse than Fei Yan’s.
On the contrary, when a woman is beautiful to a certain degree, looks can no longer be used to tell apart who is superior.
Moreover, although the Moon Goddess’s talent and strength do not match Fei Yan’s, she is still a pampered daughter of the heavens.
It’s just that their statuses are unequal.
Your sister is my wife.
Of course, I will care for her and prioritize her.
What about you?
Therefore, Li Mo would hardly care about the Moon Goddess’s jealous emotions.
But he indeed had to thank her.
“Thank you for the information, Lady Moon Goddess. I was able to arrive here in time because of it.”
If the Moon Goddess hadn’t taken it upon herself to inform him, Fei Yan might have gotten hurt under that Azure Dragon Mechanical Beast.
The Moon Goddess shot Li Mo a slight sidelong glance.
After all that, it still revolves around Sister.
Even the thanks are because of Sister.
Sister, Sister, does everyone in this world revolve around her?
How am I any worse than her?
“There’s no need for that. Dongjun is not only the National Advisor’s wife but also the Moon Goddess’s senior sister. Naturally, I wouldn’t watch her fall into danger.”
Moon Goddess felt a surge of injustice in her heart but said so nonetheless.
Indeed, she was jealous of Fei Yan.
But she still had a basic level of intelligence.
Given how highly the National Advisor regards Senior Sister, saying bad things about Sister in front of him would only provoke his displeasure.
Only a fool would engage in backstabbing and deceitful behavior.
If she wanted to gain the National Advisor’s favor and trust, she couldn’t speak ill of her Senior Sister; she had to lavishly praise her instead.
“I observed that when Senior Sister headed to Qin, she seemed eager to return, as if something important was awaiting her in Xianyang. I initially found it odd.”
“But now I finally know, Senior Sister was thinking about the National Advisor.”
“The National Advisor is truly fortunate, with beauties at home and Sister’s favorable attention.”
“Senior Sister has always been proud and never lowers her head to others. That she can put aside her pride and share a husband with someone really surprised me.”
“Moon Goddess has no other intentions. Since Senior Sister is so devoted to the National Advisor, I just hope the National Advisor won’t let her down.”
“Otherwise, even if Moon Goddess is no match for the National Advisor, I will still find a way to demand an explanation.”
The Moon Goddess spoke in a cold tone, but her attitude was resolute.
Anyone who heard her would be moved.
But for Li Mo, this trick didn’t work as well.
Brilliant, truly brilliant.
To come up with such a speech, it must have been hard for you.
If Lady Moon Goddess were born in modern times, she would definitely be an acting talent!
The Oscars owe you a golden statuette!
“Rest assured, I definitely won’t…”
“Since Lady Moon Goddess shares such deep sisterly affection with Fei Yan, I’m also happy for Fei Yan.”
“Lady Moon Goddess, it’s windy by the river, and you are lightly dressed. We should go back to the tent.”
Acting? Who can’t act?
Moon Goddess nodded gently: “I’ll leave it to the National Advisor.”
Indeed, saying a few complimentary words about Sister has already softened your attitude.
Why didn’t you worry about me catching a cold just now?
Li Mo not only brought Qin’s cavalry but also assembled everyone from Luo Network and Liu Sha who could be mobilized.
Because he planned to attack the Mohist Mechanical City.
Within that Mohist Mechanical City lies something extremely important.
It’s also an important tool to unravel the mystery of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.
Inside the Mohist Mechanical City.
A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a mat, maintaining a stance of embracing unity.
His face was as black as a pot bottom, surrounded by a thick black aura.
Six-fingered Black Man clenched his teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down his temples.
Since returning to the Mohist Mechanical City, he had been trying to force out the prohibition planted inside him by Fei Yan.
But the Yin-Yang School’s techniques were mysterious and unpredictable, and Fei Yan was a rare genius woman of the Yin-Yang School in hundreds of years.
The secret arts she cast were not so easily unraveled.
In the room, besides Six-fingered Black Man, there were several Mohist elders with grim expressions.
At this moment the Mohist Mechanical City was truly on the brink of destruction.
Not only did the Yin-Yang School’s Dongjun not leave, but outside there were also thousands of Qin troops stationed.
And in the shadows, countless assassins lurked with predatory eyes.
Even their greatest reliance, the Azure Dragon Mechanical Beast, had been dismantled into pieces.
The Mohist disciples couldn’t fathom why, although the leader only had enmity with the Yin-Yang School’s Dongjun, the Qin National Advisor brought so many people here.
Being blocked by the Yin-Yang School’s Dongjun was nearly a life-or-death situation.
Now it had turned into a certain death with no chance of survival!
There was no hope of survival at all!
The only way to live might be to open the gates and surrender.
The atmosphere inside the room was extremely oppressive.
Regarding whether to surrender or fight to the death, the elders had different opinions.
At times like this, only the leader could make the decision.
But after arriving, they realized that the leader’s injuries were even more severe than they had imagined.
Not only could he not use his full strength, but his life was withering like a dead tree in the wind.
“Cough!”
Suddenly, Six-fingered Black Man spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face becoming even more unsightly.
“Leader!”
“Leader, how are you?”
Seeing this, the Mohist elders urgently surrounded him, anxiously inquiring.
Six-fingered Black Man pressed a few points on his chest, waved his hand, and said, “What’s the situation outside?”
Elder Ban sighed deeply, “Not good, really not good.
The Yin-Yang School’s Dongjun somehow connected with the Qin National Advisor, and now there are Qin troops everywhere outside, with countless assassins in the shadows.”
“It seems they have no plans of leaving unless they break into our Mechanical City.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone quickly added, “Leader, what should we do now, you decide.”
Another person interjected, “What else can we do? Go out and fight them to the death! Killing one would make us even, killing two would be a profit.”
“Fight? With what? We don’t even have a numerical advantage anymore, and the Azure Dragon Mechanism left by our ancestors is already destroyed by them.”
Mentioning this, the few present couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Previously, there were rumors in the martial world that the Qin National Advisor was already a master at the Transcendent Realm despite his young age, which they didn’t believe.
But seeing him with their own eyes, disarm the Mohist’s strongest mechanism beast bare-handed, they couldn’t help but believe!
“How many troops did Qin bring?”
Six-fingered Black Man asked weakly.
Though his voice was not loud, it silenced the noisy debate.
“Five thousand, all elite cavalry.”
Dao Zhi replied without hesitation, leaning on his cane.
Cavalry couldn’t exert much of an advantage in this valley.
Li Mo brought them here just for the speed of the cavalry’s march.
Once they entered the Mechanical City, they would still have to dismount and fight.
But even dismounted, they weren’t something the Mohist could withstand.
Hearing this bad news, Six-fingered Black Man rather showed a hint of gratification.
“Five thousand cavalry, good.”
“Good? Boss, are you alright?”
Dao Zhi spoke without restraint.
“They’ve blocked our gates, and you say good?”
Six-fingered Black Man gave him a profound look and said, “Where are we now?”
Dao Zhi replied, “In Mechanical City.”
Six-fingered Black Man asked again, “Which Mechanical City?”
Dao Zhi rolled his eyes speechlessly, “Of course, it’s ours, the Mohist Mechanical City.”
“And also in Yan State.”
Suddenly, Elder Ban, who had been silent for a long time, had a flash of insight and added a word.
A look of joy quickly followed on his face.
“We are now in the state of Yan. The 5,000 cavalrymen of Qin entering the territory will definitely attract the attention of Yan.”
Six-Fingered Black Knight said with relief, “That’s right, such a large force entering the territory, Yan won’t ignore it.”
“If I’m not mistaken, Yan has already sent people over.”
“As long as the Yan troops arrive, our crisis will naturally be resolved.”
With these words, everyone felt as if they had been reborn.
Dao Zhi excitedly clapped his hands.
“Haha, not only can we resolve our crisis, but we can also report to Emperor Yan about Crown Prince Dan’s situation. Let’s see what that National Advisor will do!”
