Chapter 259: The Wronged Moon Goddess! I Can Shake Kunlun!
Without seeing how Li Mo leveraged in the air, his figure flashed and retreated several dozen feet.
When he reappeared, they were already on the river’s surface.
Moon Goddess looked up, staring at him in a daze.
Her mind was blank.
The veil on her face fluttered in the wind, revealing her bright and clear eyes.
Like the bright moon hanging in the sky at midnight, they were serene and luminous.
The world seemed to quiet down at this moment.
Moon Goddess only felt the scenery at the corners of her eyes rapidly retreating, but the scene in front of her was imprinted as if frozen in time.
Li Mo lightly tapped on the river’s surface, moving several dozen feet again like a flash.
In just a few blinks of an eye, he had carried Moon Goddess to the riverbank.
“Wow, wow, wow, the National Advisor really has the means of a deity!”
Lord Yan Chun’s eyes widened in shock.
In just two or three breaths’ time, Li Mo had already brought Moon Goddess back.
Before Lord Yan Chun could grasp what had happened, Moon Goddess was already in Li Mo’s arms.
As soon as Li Mo put Moon Goddess down, Lord Yan Chun started to flatter him.
“Junior Sister.”
Fei Yan quickly stepped forward to ask, “Are you hurt?”
Moon Goddess came back to her senses, glanced quickly at Li Mo who had carried her back, then lowered her eyes, shaking her head lightly, “No.”
Though it was just a few blinks’ time, being carried like that was a real experience.
Even now, her heart couldn’t calm down.
“Thank you, National Advisor, for saving me.”
Moon Goddess’ expression was strange, a mix of paleness and a hint of blush.
If it weren’t for Li Mo arriving in time, she might not have escaped so easily.
“Without my order, do not act on your own!”
Li Mo ignored her thanks, speaking coldly.
He clearly understood Moon Goddess’ intentions.
Though it was also for his sake, her motives were different.
Fei Yan contributed selflessly to him.
But Moon Goddess desired him. Ah, no, wanted his trust, so she was eager to make a move.
“Husband.”
Seeing Li Mo’s stern face, Fei Yan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
“Junior Sister also wanted to help you, don’t be angry.”
Although there were tens of thousands of people present, only Fei Yan dared to persuade him at this moment.
Moon Goddess bowed her head, not daring to look up, like a wronged little wife, filled with grievance.
This time, she really outsmarted herself, trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.
Not only did she fail to impress, but also made him risk his safety to save her.
Lord Yan Chun watched in admiration, almost wanting to kneel in awe!
Even a tough character from the Yin-Yang School was obedient to him.
Master, please accept my bow!
“First, take a rest and adjust your inner breath.”
Li Mo sighed and softened his tone a bit.
After all, she was the Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School and Fei Yan’s junior sister.
With so many people here, if she scolds harshly, Fei Yan will lose face too.
“Here.”
The Moon Goddess responded softly and gave a grateful look at Fei Yan, who had spoken for her.
Thinking of her narrow-minded thoughts earlier, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed.
“Um, National Advisor, what should we do next?”
Seeing that the atmosphere had finally calmed down, Lord Yan Chun dared to step forward and ask.
Fei Yan was attentively helping Li Mo tidy his wind-blown clothes, while Li Mo, with outstretched arms, said, “Just now, I saw the towering and magnificent main gate of the Mechanical City. The boulders at the entrance weigh no less than ten thousand pounds. Besides opening it from the inside, it would require manual lifting.”
“The stone gate is filled with mechanisms. To get in is as hard as ascending to heaven. We can only attack head-on.”
Lord Yan Chun was stunned for a moment.
With shifty eyes, he looked at the cloth covering Li Mo’s eyes.
Hesitantly, he said, “Observe? National Advisor, your eyes…”
He couldn’t directly ask if he was blind, so he had to be ambiguous.
The Moon Goddess, while adjusting her inner breath, also cast a curious glance at Li Mo.
Fei Yan looked askance at Lord Yan Chun, displeased, and said, “My husband has transcendent skills; why would he need eyes to see people or things?”
Lord Yan Chun scratched his forehead, utterly puzzled.
“No eyes to see? What kind of ability is that?”
The Moon Goddess’ willow brows furrowed. If that’s the case, didn’t he see her eyes just now?
“Lord Yan Chun, do you want to learn? I’ll teach you!”
Lord Yan Chun was delighted to hear this, “I can learn too?”
Li Mo chuckled and said, “Of course, but if you want to learn, you have to blind yourself first. Whether you can master it afterward depends on your good fortune.”
He was obviously teasing him.
Even if he explained how he gained this ability, no one would believe it.
It couldn’t be taught, and others couldn’t learn it.
Lord Yan Chun immediately waved his hands like a rattle drum, “No, no, I won’t learn.”
What a joke?
If I blind myself, how will I find the way at night?
“Oh right, National Advisor, you said we should attack head-on? How exactly do we do that?”
Lord Yan Chun quickly changed the topic to serious matters.
Li Mo pointed to the Mechanical City, “Of course, by sending people to lift the gate.”
Lord Yan Chun’s mouth twitched. With a forced smile, he said, “National Advisor, you have a great sense of humor. Given the current situation, not to mention lifting the gate, our people can’t even get close.”
The rapid river current battered the rafts; several oars broke, and they hadn’t moved more than a few dozen meters.
After contemplating for a moment, the Moon Goddess said, “Even if we get there, there’s no leverage. That gate weighs no less than ten thousand pounds; it’s not something a few people can lift.”
“Moreover, the stone gate is full of mechanisms. To lift the gate, we would need shields, and the raft can’t possibly accommodate so many people.”
Having personally experienced the gate’s mechanisms, her words were quite reasonable.
Li Mo should have thought of this.
Why then would he suggest such an absurd method?
“You’re right; the raft can’t hold that many people, so we won’t use the raft.”
The statement left everyone stunned.
Lord Yan Chun stammered, “Not use the raft… swim over?”
What a terrible idea.
Even a boat can’t cross, and you expect people to swim?
Moreover, even if they swim over, there’s still no leverage.
The Moon Goddess frowned deeply. She couldn’t believe Li Mo would talk nonsense.
There must be something she hadn’t considered.
But what exactly?
The Moon Goddess was totally baffled!
Li Mo had no intention of keeping them in suspense.
He extended his hand toward Zhang Han, “Give me your sword.”
“Here!”
Without hesitation, Zhang Han unsheathed his sword and handed it over with both hands.
With a clang, the long sword was drawn.
Li Mo touched it and praised, “Good sword.”
Lord Yan Chun, still confused, said, “Yes, it’s a good sword, but what can one sword do?”
Fei Yan looked at him disapprovingly, defending her husband, “My husband has his ways.”
Lord Yan Chun laughed awkwardly, “Yes, yes, he has ways, very impressive ways.”
This couple is indeed quite compatible.
Someone who does not allow others to question them for even a moment, someone who even thinks of the other person when drinking a cup of tea.
Li Mo smiled without speaking, turned, and walked to the riverside.
A few people followed closely, wanting to see how he was going to get ten thousand soldiers across the river with a sword.
Splash ~
The rushing river surface raised waves, rhythmically slapping against the cliffs.
Tens of thousands of people stood silent, focused attentively on Li Mo, who was standing by the river.
Li Mo looked up.
The sunlight poured down, his whole body seemed to be bathed in holy light, emitting divine radiance.
As if resonating with the heavens and earth, he merged himself into the world’s great path.
The Moon Goddess was dazed, her heart couldn’t help but ripple.
Moments later, Li Mo moved.
He gently raised his right hand holding the sword and said, “Immortal Art of Moving Mountains and Seas, I can shake Kunlun with one hand!”
Zheng~
A sword hum resounded, and a sword light burst forth!
Boom! A loud sound!
A distant cliff was sliced open with one strike!
A massive flat rock slid down like a falling mountain.
With a loud thud, it fell, filling half of the riverbed!
