Chapter 319

Chapter 319: Fire Elder, Da Shiming! Fei Yan lowered her head in the carriage!

“Someone wants to frame our Yin-Yang School?”

Fei Yan’s slender brows furrowed tightly, a hint of killing intent flickering in her eyes.

While Fei Yan could betray the Yin-Yang School for Li Mo, it didn’t mean she would allow others to frame the school.

As long as Li Mo didn’t come into conflict with the Yin-Yang School, she would still be the Dongjun.

The commotion caused in Xi’an City at the time was not small.

The few Shu merchants, upon hearing her name, had been terrified and knelt to beg for mercy.

Many people had witnessed this firsthand.

Now, having just exited the city, they were killed; anyone’s first reaction would be that it was done by her, the Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School.

However, after hearing her words, Li Mo smiled and said, “This is not framing.”

Fei Yan turned to look at him, the killing intent in her eyes instantly retracting.

She questioned, “Not framing?

There are only two members of the Yin-Yang School in Xi’an.

One is her, the other is the Moon Goddess.

She doesn’t need to say anything; how could she not be aware if she acted?”

The Moon Goddess had been retreating in the Astrology Tower recently, seeking to catch up with her senior sister and had planned to see her today after entering the city.

But she hadn’t seen her.

Li Mo crouched down and touched the body of one of the corpses.

There was still a trace of residual warmth; these people had just died not long ago.

Then, he flipped the body over to face up.

Having been in the cold snow for so long, the body should have turned pale by now.

But instead, the face of the corpse was not pale at all; in fact, it had a strange red color.

It looked just like the shell of a boiled crab.

A bright red.

“Skeleton Blood Seal, it’s Da Shiming!”

Seeing the state of the person’s death, Fei Yan immediately recognized the cause of death.

The way this person died is exactly the result of the Skeleton Blood Seal from the Yin-Yang Technique!

And Da Shiming, one of the five Elders from the Yin-Yang School, is skilled in this technique.

There are a total of five Elders in the Yin-Yang School, corresponding to the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Each Elder cultivates different techniques based on their respective attributes.

For example, the Wood Elder’s Myriad Leaf Flying Flower Technique, the Water Elder’s White Dew Frightens Frost and The Highest Good is Like Water.

And the Yin-Yang Harmonization Seal cultivated by the Fire Elder, Da Shiming.

The Skeleton Blood Seal that killed this Shu merchant is a type of technique from the Yin-Yang Harmonization Seal.

The secret arts of the Yin-Yang School are never passed down to outsiders.

Even if they were leaked, basically no one could master them.

Therefore, upon seeing this person die from the Skeleton Blood Seal, Fei Yan immediately guessed who did it.

Li Mo turned over the other Shu merchants as well.

Without exception, they all had the same cause of death.

“It seems that your Fire Elder came to Xi’an; I wonder how these people offended her.”

People of the Yin-Yang School must not be provoked.

Women of the Yin-Yang School are even less to be provoked.

This has almost become an unwritten rule in the martial world.

The women of the Yin-Yang School are all beautiful, yet cruel.

Only someone like Li Mo would dare to take them into his household!

Although she knew who killed these people, Fei Yan’s brows remained furrowed.

As the Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, her status was only second to Donghuang Taiyi.

Da Shiming, regardless of her reasons for coming to Xi’an, should have gone to see her first.

Then she would see the Moon Goddess.

This is the rule of the Yin-Yang School.

The hierarchy in the Yin-Yang School is extremely strict; even the Moon Goddess, as a protector, can intimidate the five Elders, let alone her,

Lord Fei Yan!

But now, Da Shiming entered Xi’an City silently, directly bypassing her, the Dongjun living outside the city.

Li Mo’s mountain courtyard is just outside Xi’an City, and these individuals died along the road between Xi’an and the courtyard.

Therefore, it could only mean that Da Shiming encountered them on her way to Xi’an City.

“She is going to find the Moon Goddess.”

Li Mo suddenly spoke up, his tone resolute.

Fei Yan immediately understood and exclaimed, “Find the Moon Goddess… is it for the Illusion Sound Treasure Box?

After the Illusion Sound Treasure Box was found in the Mohist Mechanical City, it has been kept by the Moon Goddess.

Li Mo not only did not ask her to return it but didn’t even mention it.

It was as if he had forgotten about it entirely.

“Husband, you should go back to rest; I’ll go take a look.”

Fei Yan’s face showed anxiety.

The Illusion Sound Treasure Box is key to unlocking the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon; without this item, even gathering the seven copper boxes wouldn’t unlock the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

Da Shiming must have come on an order from Donghuang Taiyi.

Whether the Moon Goddess informed Donghuang Taiyi or he deduced it himself would only be known after meeting the Moon Goddess.

“Forget it, no need to go; let’s just go back and rest.”

Fei Yan turned to leave, but Li Mo pulled her back.

Fei Yan looked at him with urgency and said, “Not going? What if the Moon Goddess hands the Illusion Sound Treasure Box to Da Shiming to take back to the Yin-Yang School?

What will we do?”

Li Mo smiled and said, “Even if she gives it to her, she won’t obtain the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon; let her study it.”

Li Mo now had both people and money; why would he still want to cooperate with Donghuang Taiyi for the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?

It’s simply because the secrets of the Seven Mansions are buried too deep.

As for what role the Illusion Sound Treasure Box plays within that, he was not clear.

However, the Yin-Yang School has guarded the Illusion Sound Treasure Box for hundreds of years and likely knows some unknown facts about it.

Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess also know a little, but it’s very limited.

After all, by the time they were born, the Illusion Sound Treasure Box had already vanished from the Yin-Yang School.

If the seven copper boxes are linked together to seal away the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, then the Illusion Sound Treasure Box is a key.

And the ones who truly know the role of the Illusion Sound Treasure Box are probably just Donghuang Taiyi!

“Is my husband intentionally leaving the treasure box with the Moon Goddess?”

The two returned to the horse-drawn carriage.

Hearing Li Mo’s words, Fei Yan quickly reacted.

She finally understood why Li Mo had never taken the Illusion Sound Treasure Box back.

Because if he took back the Illusion Sound Treasure Box, then the person entrusted with bringing the Illusion Sound Treasure Box would not be Da Shiming, but…

It’s her!

Donghuang Taiyi will definitely issue an order for her to find a way to obtain the Illusion Sound Treasure Box from Li Mo.

Feeling uneasy about handing over her husband’s hard-earned treasure to someone else, Fei Yan knew she couldn’t do it.

Even if her husband didn’t want it anymore, she wouldn’t give his belongings to others!

Li Mo also understood she would be in a difficult position, which is why he had never taken the treasure box back.

Realizing this, Fei Yan felt a wave of emotion in her heart.

Li Mo was truly always thinking of her.

Even though there were more women around him, his care and concern for her never diminished!

“Husband”

Fei Yan lifted her head, gazing at him with deep affection.

“What’s wrong? Feeling tired? Come, rest your head on my lap for a while; we’ll be home soon.”

Li Mo patted his thigh as he spoke.

In the past, he often rested his head on Fei Yan’s lap during long journeys, and today, he wanted to give his wife a chance to enjoy it too.

Fei Yan gently bit her lip and remained silent.

Her dark eyes seemed to sparkle like stars in the dim carriage.

After a moment, she gradually leaned down, resting against Li Mo’s thigh.

Subtly, in the darkness, she unfastened his belt and lowered her head!
