Chapter 335

Chapter 335: The Two Pairs of Lotus Blossoms from the Yin-Yang School, Heibai Shaosiming, Lady Ehuang and Nu Ying!

Upon hearing Yan Lingji’s words, Zhang Liang’s expression immediately shifted slightly.

That Qi would surrender was not beyond his expectations.

What surprised him was how Yan Lingji knew?

Or rather, how did Li Mo know?

Although Li Mo had a powerful information network, Zhang Liang had been with them since they left,

And he hadn’t seen anyone passing messages to them during that time.

How did Yan Lingji just look at the dazed Li Mo and say with such certainty that Qi had surrendered?

Li Mo stood as if in a trance on the bustling street.

Zhang Liang didn’t know whether to call him or not.

He could only stand by awkwardly.

Yan Lingji, however, seemed unbothered by his condition.

She released the arm she had wrapped around him and walked alone towards a nearby stall.

Leaving Zhang Liang behind to wait anxiously.

It wasn’t until Yan Lingji returned after wandering around that Li Mo remained in his trance-like state.

“Strange, why is it taking so long this time?”

Yan Lingji popped a snack she had just bought into her mouth, tilting her head in confusion as she muttered.

Zhang Liang asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with the sir? Should we call for a physician?”

Yan Lingji waved her hand carelessly, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Perhaps I was just too entranced while observing the world with my heart.”

Li Mo first entered this state while in Han State.

At that time, he was right beside him.

After all, they have known each other for a long time.

Thus, Yan Lingji understood what was going on.

Zhang Liang nodded thoughtfully.

Although Li Mo’s eyes couldn’t see, he was just like an ordinary person.

He had long speculated whether Li Mo had some other method to replace his sight.

“Qi has surrendered.”

Suddenly, the immobile Li Mo seemed to awaken as if his soul had returned to his body.

Before Zhang Liang could inquire about what had just happened,

Li Mo continued, “Chu State has also fallen.”

Zhang Liang was suddenly taken aback, looking at him in disbelief.

“How did the sir know?”

The fall of Chu State had been inevitable.

But how had Li Mo, being thousands of miles away, known of Chu State’s demise?

Li Mo also hadn’t anticipated the timing would be so precise.

Initially entering this meditative state was to perceive the borders of Qi State.

Yet, while “watching,” he suddenly found himself in the territory of Chu State.

Qi State and Chu State fell on the same day, at the same moment.

At this moment, the chaotic era that had been in turmoil for hundreds of years came to a complete end.

The world was unified!

Having worked hard for this matter, yet now that the world was truly unified, Li Mo felt none of the excitement he had imagined.

After pondering, he finally understood.

Perhaps it was because he had already known the outcome.

Moreover, his goal had never been just world unification.

It was only after unification that his true objectives would commence.

“Let’s go back to the Little Sage Courtyard.”

The Teacher was already on the way back.

At the same time, he had brought something equally important for him.

“Thank you for your hard work, Teacher.”

In the Little Sage Courtyard.

Li Mo accepted the copper box handed to him by Master Xun and politely thanked him.

Master Xun gently shook his head, his expression somewhat serious.

Looking at the copper box in Li Mo’s hand, he asked, “Is this the reason behind your conquest of the six states?”

Li Mo opened the copper box in front of him.

From inside, he took out a jade pendant.

The pendant was small, only about an inch long.

The texture and material were exactly the same as that worn around Jing Ni’s neck.

It was authentic!

“Not at all, this is merely a byproduct of the spoils of war.”

Li Mo put away the jade pendant, chuckling as he spoke.

Master Xun also withdrew his gaze, sighing, “Seven copper boxes, buried for hundreds of years, have gone through centuries, and you have

acquired them.”

“It’s still not enough; the Illusion Sound Treasure Box is with Donghuang Taiyi. Only when he unlocks the Illusion Sound Treasure Box will the true secret be revealed.”

It would be hard to believe that Master Xun didn’t know about the copper boxes; even he didn’t believe that.

So there was nothing to hide from him.

Master Xun frowned, “The Illusion Sound Treasure Box should have disappeared from the Yin-Yang School long ago.”

Li Mo smiled, “I found it and then handed it to him.”

Master Xun stared at him in astonishment.

After a long while, he said, “The National Advisor is quite the schemer.”

Only the Yin-Yang School could unlock the Illusion Sound Treasure Box.

By acquiring the seven copper boxes, he had already secured absolute control.

While the Yin-Yang School was powerful, it couldn’t compare to his current strength.

Thus, Li Mo wasn’t concerned about Donghuang Taiyi.

Either he obediently followed orders and unlocked the Illusion Sound Treasure Box,

or he would never know the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

Following behind Li Mo might still allow him to gain something.

But if he angered him…

He would flip the pot on you!

Now that he had obtained the jade pendant from Qi State, only the one from Chu State remained.

And with the fall of Chu State, his people would soon head to the Palace of the King of Chu to bring back the copper box.

At that time, all seven copper boxes would be gathered.

He couldn’t help but wonder how Donghuang Taiyi’s recent research on the Illusion Sound Treasure Box was progressing.

The Yin-Yang School resided in the borderlands of Qin State.

Li Mo had just tested it; although he could see the lands of the six states, he still couldn’t see Qin State.

This left him with no hope of observing what Donghuang Taiyi was up to.

“Master, are you interested in exploring this further with me?”

Master Xun was taken aback, shaking his head and replying, “Never mind, my ambitions lie elsewhere.”

Everyone has their own desires.

Donghuang Taiyi was fixated on the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

While he was determined to revitalize Confucianism.

Now that opportunity had presented itself.

As for the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, he had no interest in delving into that murky water.

After returning to their residence with Yan Lingji, Li Mo once again entered into a meditative state.

He hadn’t had the chance to observe carefully earlier on the street.

Now that he had ample time, it was perfect to check on the developments over in Chu State.

As his perception began, scenes flashed before his eyes like slides.

Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, as well as birds and beasts, all came into view.

It felt as if he was a true deity soaring above the clouds, looking down upon the entire world.

Within the borders of Chu State, devastation was everywhere.

The city walls of Chu’s capital were in ruins, riddled with breaches caused by gunpowder explosions.

The flags on the battlements had been replaced with those of Qin State.

The soldiers guarding the city gates were all from the Qin army.

He “saw” Dian Qing, the most conspicuous figure among the crowd.

Dian Qing was patrolling the city walls, wielding two large blades.

Just as Li Mo was preparing to extend his perception towards the Palace of the King of Chu,

several figures suddenly caught his attention.

They were all women.

Four of them, yet they had two faces.

Incredibly, they were two pairs of twins!

Li Mo guessed their identities without a second thought.

They were from the Yin-Yang School, the Wood Elder Heibai Shaosiming and the Water Elder Ehuang Nuying!

Chu State had just fallen; what were they doing there?
