Chapter 261: The Underground Fortress Gate Opens, Proud Black Jade Kirin!
Inside the Mohist Mechanical City, soldiers had already taken control.
All the Mohist disciples had retreated into their underground fortress.
After finally opening the gate of the Mechanical City, an even tougher Black Tortoise underground city appeared before them.
This Mechanical City was indeed created through generations of the Mohist’s painstaking efforts.
Food and drink were abundant inside, and it was as solid as a fortress.
It’s no wonder it became the main base for the anti-Qin forces later.
Seeing that Li Mo didn’t seem to be joking, Lord Yan Chun dared not question him further.
He had questioned him once before.
As a result, this person had slashed a mountain peak in half with one strike.
If he questioned him again, who knows how he would humiliate him next.
“Wait over there; someone will open the door for us soon.”
Li Mo pointed to a nearby pavilion and walked over first.
Filled with doubt, Lord Yan Chun quietly asked Moon Goddess, who was lagging behind.
“Does the National Advisor have any plan?”
Anyway, he couldn’t understand how the Mohist disciples, who avoided them at all costs, would proactively open the door.
Moon Goddess stared at the backs of Li Mo and Fei Yan coldly.
“I would not have asked if I knew,” she said indifferently.
Lord Yan Chun smacked his lips, shaking his head, “Hmm, right. You’re not your senior sister, and surely the National Advisor wouldn’t tell you.”
“You…”
Moon Goddess’s face turned cold after that remark, clenching her fists with a murderous impulse!
In short, Li Mo never trusted her.
But undoubtedly, he had unconditional trust in Fei Yan.
That was the difference!
Just a tea break’s worth of waiting in the pavilion later, the ground suddenly started to shake.
Rumbling sounds followed.
Tiles on the pavilion’s roof clattered, almost as if an earthquake had struck.
“What’s happening? What’s going on?”
Lord Yan Chun’s face turned pale, scared out of his wits by the sudden tremors.
Li Mo stood up nonchalantly, “Nothing, just that the underground fortress gate has opened.”
Lord Yan Chun froze.
“Really opened?”
Just then, Zhang Han suddenly approached with several soldiers.
Among them was a man dressed in Mohist disciple attire.
“National Advisor, we’ve brought the man.”
“Good, come here,” Li Mo waved to the Mohist disciple with a smile.
As he stepped closer, Lord Yan Chun recognized him.
“Hey, aren’t you the one who went out with the Six-Fingered Black Hero? Have you defected?”
The person was indeed the Mohist disciple who had returned with the Six-Fingered Black Hero’s head.
The Mohist disciple ignored him and bowed to Li Mo and Fei Yan.
“Greetings, Master and Madam.”
Li Mo nodded, “How’s the situation?”
The Mohist disciple respectfully replied, “The Black Tortoise mechanism gate is open. The remaining 472 Mohist members are underground, awaiting your command.”
Lord Yan Chun’s eyes twitched, exclaiming, “Did you subdue that many people by yourself?”
Now he finally understood why Li Mo said that a Mohist Sect disciple would open the door from the inside.
It turned out he had arranged for an undercover agent to go in long ago!
But what was surprising was that this seemingly unremarkable Mohist Sect disciple actually had such great skills.
Not only did he open the switch as expected, but he also subdued all those people.
The disciple glanced at Lord Yan Chun, his lips tightly pursed, completely uninterested in answering.
Lord Yan Chun’s face suddenly turned awkward.
He shouted, “Hey, I’m talking to you!”
The disciple glanced at him again, this time simply turning his head to the side.
An air of arrogance.
Lord Yan Chun was so enraged that he screamed.
A Mohist Sect traitor, and he dared to show me attitude here?
He rushed forward in two quick steps, reaching out to grab the other’s collar.
But at that moment, the Mohist Sect disciple’s shoulder lightly shook, and a blue short sword suddenly appeared in his hand, slashing towards Lord Yan Chun’s neck.
“Master!”
“Watch out!”
The unexpected turn of events shocked Lord Yan Chun, cold sweat pouring down his back, and the two bodyguards behind him also turned pale.
The incident happened so suddenly that they had no time to rescue him.
“Stop.”
At this critical moment, Li Mo’s voice finally came.
The blue short sword had already reached Lord Yan Chun’s neck, and if Li Mo had spoken half a second later, Lord Yan Chun would definitely be dead.
The Mohist Sect disciple coldly stared at the terrified Lord Yan Chun,
His demeanor completely different from when he was trembling while holding the head of the Six-Fingered Black Hero.
“Put down the sword!”
“Quickly put down the sword!”
Lord Yan Chun’s two bodyguards were extremely anxious but did not dare to act rashly.
But the Mohist Sect disciple seemed to be deaf and ignored them.
Lord Yan Chun raised his hands high, his gaze falling on the blue short sword at his neck.
This short sword, emitting a strange color, was obviously poisoned to kill upon drawing blood.
If he moved even a little, just a scratch would be fatal.
Stiff as a plank, Lord Yan Chun kept signaling to Li Mo for help.
He never imagined that this Mohist Sect traitor was actually such a formidable fighter.
Judging by the speed of his sword draw, he must be at least a ninth-rank expert.
“Sorry, my subordinate is just like that; he listens to no one but me.”
…
Li Mo walked over to Lord Yan Chun, removed the sword from his neck, and handed it back to the Mohist Sect disciple.
Then he said to Lord Yan Chun, “This is a great benefactor of ours, not a Mohist Sect traitor.”
“A great benefactor?”
Lord Yan Chun touched his neck, still feeling a lingering fear.
The Moon Godddes seemed to realize something, looking at the Mohist Sect disciple who respectfully took back the short sword from Li Mo’s hands.
In a low voice, she said, “Thousand transformations, Black Jade Kirin. The number one assassin of Han, famed for his mastery of transformation arts. No wonder the Mohist Sect couldn’t detect him.”
“Restore your true appearance, so as not to cause misunderstanding.”
Upon Li Mo’s order, Black Jade Kirin seemed to perform a magic trick, shrinking half a size.
With a tug of his black-gloved hand, he pulled off the Mohist Sect attire.
Revealing the hooded cloak beneath.
Only then did Black Jade Kirin completely change his appearance.
Petite in stature, with a high ponytail.
The entire person hidden within the cloak, making it impossible to discern facial features or even gender.
Lord Yan Chun watched in amazement: “Tsk, it’s incredible that such extraordinary means exist in the world.”
What unnerved him the most was that Li Mo not only had unfathomable strength himself but also surrounded himself with such extraordinary experts.
Whether it was the Yin-Yang School’s two members or this Black Jade Kirin, they were all renowned figures in the martial world.
The most frightening thing was, how many such helpers did he have?
No one knew!
And the unknown, that was the truly terrifying thing!
