Chapter 260: The Moon Goddess Who is Constantly Jealous! Enter Mechanical City!
By the river, it was utterly silent!
Tens of thousands of mouths gaped open, tens of thousands of eyes widened in astonishment.
Everyone seemed frozen in place.
Expressions frozen on their faces.
Splash~ Splash~
Only the sound of river water beating against the rocks resonated.
“Hiss~”
Finally, everyone took a sharp breath, as if sucking out the air from this space.
Looking at the giant rock sliced off from the cliff, looking at the cut on the steep rock face.
Terrified gazes swept over.
Qin soldiers felt immensely excited, their hearts pounding.
Yan soldiers felt a chill down their spines, sweating all over.
Could it be that this National Advisor of Qin is truly a celestial being descended?
The Lord of Yan Chung felt as if he was drenched in sweat, unable to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.
He was extremely grateful that he hadn’t sided with the Mohist Sect to oppose this National Advisor.
Otherwise, even if there were many versions of himself, it wouldn’t be enough to contend with him!
A single sword cut through a mountain peak.
Is this something a human can do?
Fei Yan stared intently at Li Mo, her soft black eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight.
She very wisely stepped forward, subtly supporting Li Mo’s arm.
A sword with such power is not easily wielded.
Even for those as strong as in the Divine Communion realm, the consumption of Qi is immense.
Seeing the intimate pair, the Moon Goddess’s expression was extremely complex.
Not only did the previous sword cut through a mountain peak, but it also cleanly wiped out the small thoughts in her heart.
She had initially thought of taking the place of this National Advisor when entering Qin.
But now she dared not even entertain such thoughts.
With such strength, let alone herself.
Even the Donghuang Taiyi wouldn’t confidently claim victory over him.
For the strong, strength is always the best means to conquer someone.
No wonder someone as proud as her senior sister also favored him so much.
“Send someone over.”
Li Mo returned the sword to Zhang Han, who was still in a daze, and spoke to the Lord of Yan Chung.
“Alright, alright, come, charge forward!”
The Lord of Yan Chung responded obediently.
Zhang Han, shocked, took the sword, examining it closely.
Holding the sword like this, why does it feel completely different in the National Advisor’s hands than in his own?
The massive rock cut by Li Mo obstructed the river, falling precisely in front of Mechanical City’s gate.
The river flowed more gently.
Yan soldiers, boarding rafts and holding shields, charged forward.
While waiting, Li Mo restored the Qi within himself.
Fei Yan stayed close by his side, not leaving even for a moment.
In a soft voice, she remarked, “Husband’s strength seems to have improved again.”
“It shows I’ve been working hard at cultivating.”
Li Mo turned around and said with a gentle smile.
Fei Yan couldn’t help but give him a sideways glance.
“When did Husband cultivate? Fei Yan has never seen it.”
They had been together for so long, and she seemed to have never seen Li Mo cultivate.
Being together day and night before, she rarely saw him make a move, so the feeling was not apparent.
The strength he demonstrated this time was obviously stronger than when he was in Han.
“Sleeping is cultivating, eating is cultivating, breathing is cultivating, even thinking of my wife is cultivating.”
“Husband, you truly have extraordinary talent. If you think a bit more, won’t you soon become invincible in the world?”
Li Mo chuckled, raised his hand, and pulled Fei Yan’s soft figure into his embrace.
He boasted, “It’s only a matter of time!”
He indeed had that confidence.
Given how long he’d been cultivating, he had already reached this level.
If another ten or twenty years pass, even he couldn’t imagine the heights he would reach.
Fei Yan leaned into his embrace and glanced at the Moon Goddess beside them, her cheeks flushing slightly.
With a shy expression, she lightly punched him and whispered, “Let go, so many people are watching.”
Although she voiced refusal, her body was honest.
Not only did Fei Yan not resist being held, but she also rested her head on his shoulder.
Li Mo kissed her smooth, fair cheek affectionately.
“I’m hugging my wife; who dares to talk?”
Fei Yan’s cheeks instantly turned as red as the evening clouds, beautifully flushed like a painting.
In fact, only the Moon Goddess was sneakily watching them out of the corner of her eye.
Everyone else dared not even glance in their direction.
Watching the two flirty lovebirds, the Moon Goddess felt deeply uncomfortable.
She felt as if something heavy was pressing on her chest.
It was as if the boulder Li Mo had thrown into the river was pressing down on her heart instead.
The stifling pressure made it hard to breathe.
“Shameless.”
The Moon Goddess muttered angrily to herself, turning her head away in disgust.
After a while, Lord Yan Chun came wobbling over with a big belly, taking three steps to cover one ground.
Seeing Li Mo holding the fearsome Eastern Lord, he suddenly didn’t know whether to interrupt.
“What’s the matter?”
Still, the Moon Goddess noticed his dilemma and asked.
Lord Yan Chun beamed and said, “The gates of Mechanisms City are open. I came to report to the National Advisor, though it might be best not to interrupt right now.”
He glanced at Li Mo and Fei Yan, who were embracing, acting very considerate.
But the Moon Goddess sternly said, “How can such an important matter be delayed?”
She desperately wanted the two lovebirds to separate as soon as possible.
She turned and walked over.
“National Advisor, Senior Sister, the gates of Mechanisms City are open.”
Fei Yan lifted her head off Li Mo’s shoulder, casting a displeased look at the Moon Goddess.
That junior disciple was even less sensible than Lord Yan Chun.
“Got it.”
Li Mo released Fei Yan, not wanting to continue holding her.
After opening the stone gate, the soldiers from Yan and Qin had already flooded into Mechanisms City ahead of them.
Most of the houses in Mechanisms City were built on cliff faces.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides rushed in, almost filling the entire city.
Following beside Li Mo, Lord Yan Chun muttered, “Strange, where are all the Mohists? Why can’t we see anyone?”
The soldiers searched all the houses yet found no one.
The entire Mechanisms City was empty.
The Mohist disciples seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Li Mo walked forward with measured steps, each stride identical in length.
Finally, he stopped on an empty patch of ground.
Pointing to the ground, he said, “In the turtle’s belly.”
Lord Yan Chun was puzzled, “In the turtle’s belly? Where’s such a large turtle?”
The Moon Goddess looked down at Li Mo’s feet and slowly said, “The Mohists have four great mechanical beasts: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise is for defense, used to guard against external enemies.”
“Are you saying the Black Tortoise is hidden beneath Mechanisms City?”
Li Mo nodded, “Exactly, we’re standing on the Black Tortoise’s back. The Mohists are inside it.”
Lord Yan Chun’s eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and said, “I’ll get people to dig it out!”
Li Mo stopped him, “It’s useless. The whole Mechanisms City rests on the Black Tortoise’s back. Even if we dig to it, we can’t enter. There’s no mechanism outside; it can only be opened from within.”
Saying this, he couldn’t help but admire the Mohist ancestors’ ingenuity.
The Black Tortoise was built sturdier than modern air-raid shelters.
Even if you remove the surface layer, it’s unopenable from outside.
After saying this, he added, “Although the Black Tortoise specializes in defense, it doesn’t mean it has no offensive capabilities.”
“There are countless mechanisms inside, full of dangers, almost a death trap with every step. It’s also riddled with secret passages, so rushing in blindly won’t help find those people.”
Lord Yan Chun asked in surprise, “Has the National Advisor been inside before? How do you know so clearly?”
Li Mo smiled and said, “More or less.”
Although he hadn’t been inside, he could sense the situation inside clearly.
His perception was like radar; he could see the layout beneath his feet clearly from the surface.
Moon Goddess softly asked, “Then how can we get in?”
Li Mo shook his head, “Since we can’t get in from the outside, we’ll wait for the Mohist people to open it from the inside.”
Lord Yan Chun smiled, “The National Advisor loves to joke. How could the Mohist disciples possibly help us with this?”
Li Mo laughed lightly, “Have I ever joked with you?”
