Chapter 340: You Target My Things, I’ll Target Your People!
“You… me…”
Ehuang felt as if a thorn had lodged in her throat in that instant.
Stunned by Yan Lingji’s words, she became speechless.
Seeing Yan Lingji’s serious demeanor, Ehuang couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
She swayed playfully and said, “Hehe, alright, alright, I’m not teasing you anymore. Your sister isn’t going to die for now,
but that only applies if you obediently listen to me.”
Ehuang suddenly realized, looking at her with anger, “Are you messing with me?”
As she spoke, she began to gather her inner strength, preparing to teach the enchanting woman a lesson.
However, as soon as her internal energy began to stir, a piercing pain shot through her,
making her face pale in an instant.
Large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead in moments.
Yan Lingji observed her coldly and said lightly, “You might as well save your energy. Your injury won’t heal for at least two months.”
Her power was already on par with Ehuang’s, and now that Ehuang had sustained internal injuries from Li Mo’s two punches, she could hardly even use her power, let alone fight back.
Ehuang endured the pain, coming to a new understanding of Li Mo’s strength.
How could there be such a powerful person in the world? Their four elders from the Yin-Yang School couldn’t even muster the strength to resist him.
Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she asked, “What do you mean by that?”
Yan Lingji shrugged, “What else could it mean? I’m asking you to be an undercover agent!”
“If you obediently listen, your sister will be able to return safe and sound, but if you don’t,
I can’t guarantee what will happen to her.”
Upon hearing this, Ehuang’s expression changed dramatically.
She finally understood why Li Mo hadn’t killed them!
Since Donghuang Taiyi had designs on his belongings, Li Mo wouldn’t just let things go.
At the ruins of the Palace of Chu,
having just concluded the battle, all of Chu’s territories were taken over by the Qin.
This former palace of the King of Chu now served as a temporary shelter for Li Mo.
After capturing Nu Ying and Hei Bai Shaosiming, Li Mo arrived here, planning to rest for a couple of days before returning to Qin.
The palace complex was vast, and Li Mo casually chose a secluded courtyard to stay in.
As soon as Wang Jian left, he signaled the Black Jade Kirin to bring the three captives over.
Surrounding the ruins of the Palace of Chu were guards densely posted everywhere.
Even if the three were to regain their inner power, escaping from here would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, Li Mo was personally on guard.
Before long, the three of them were brought up.
Their expressions varied.
Nu Ying bore a resigned look,
while Hei Bai Shaosiming was filled with unwillingness.
But what was the use of any reluctance?
They couldn’t blame Donghuang Taiyi for eyeing the bronze treasure box.
If anything, they could only blame themselves for being outmatched!
“Who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?”
Li Mo sat cross-legged.
Yan Lingji lazily rested her head on his thigh, looking at the identical black and white figures, asking curiously.
“Hmph!”
“Hmph!”
The sisters, with great spirit, simultaneously snorted, twisting their heads away from each other.
Yan Lingji blinked, “Wow, such a big temper.”
The Black Jade Kirin stepped forward, drawing a short sword and pointing it at the two.
Coldly, she said, “Answer whatever I ask; otherwise, I’ll cut out your tongues!”
The sisters looked at her together and replied in unison, “As you command.”
“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?”
With a flick of her wrist, the sharp tip of the sword approached Bai Siming’s throat.
Bai Siming put on a brave front, but seeing the sword come at her, she still flinched in fear.
At that moment, a light purple figure suddenly appeared, blocking in front of her.
“Show mercy.”
Nu Ying shielded Bai Siming with her body, hastily answering for them, “Black is the older sister, and white is the younger sister.”
Yan Lingji nodded lightly, “Oh, I see.”
Then she looked earnestly at the black and white sisters and said, “You two really have no awareness. Just look at how others act; if you want to survive, you must obediently listen.”
The black and white sisters first gave a grateful glance to Nu Ying who stood in front of them, then indignantly said, “We never wanted to go back alive.”
At that moment, Li Mo, who had been silent, finally spoke.
He chuckled lightly and said, “But what if I insist on letting you return alive?”
The three were taken aback.
Nu Ying’s eyes were filled with confusion.
In a calm tone, he asked, “What does the National Advisor mean by that?”
Li Mo replied straightforwardly, “It means exactly what you heard. My horse-drawn carriage is too small to take all of you back to the Qin State.”
“Since I have already released one Ehuang, I don’t mind letting go of one more.”
“So, you sisters, I’m giving you a choice.”
“Whoever can kill the other, I will let that one go. How about that?”
At these words, the expressions of all three changed dramatically.
The Black Jade Kirin turned her wrist, and with a clang, tossed her short sword at the feet of the Black and White Shaosiming.
Not only did the sisters look, but even Nu Ying’s gaze was drawn to the short sword that emitted a ghostly blue light on the ground.
Kill one to save the other.
Was this meant to force them to turn against each other?
Yan Lingji climbed off Li Mo’s leg, resting her chin on her hands, eagerly watching the two.
The Black and White Shaosiming merely glanced at the sword on the ground and then turned their gaze away indifferently.
Holding each other’s hands tightly, the sisters displayed an exceptionally determined attitude.
“We sisters live and die together, naturally, we shall die together.”
The bond between the sisters was incredibly strong.
They could never commit such an act of mutual slaughter.
Yan Lingji pouted in disappointment, “Well, their bond is pretty good.”
Li Mo slowly stood up, stating clearly, “If you want to live and die together, I won’t indulge your wishes. I’ll let her go.”
He pointed at Bai Siming, signaling the Black Jade Kirin to unlock her sealed meridians.
The Black Jade Kirin said nothing further, walked over, pulled Bai Siming close, and pressed a few points on her body.
Bai Siming immediately felt a rush of energy within her.
The sealed internal power began to flow throughout her body.
“What do you really want?”
She glared at Li Mo with a resentful look, hardly believing he would be so kind as to let her go.
Li Mo stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly, “After returning to the Yin-Yang School, everything will return to normal. You’ll know when I need you.”
“If you want your sister to die, then try defying my orders.”
Earlier, making them turn against one another was merely a test.
The deeper their bond as sisters, the more leverage he had with one in his hands to compel the other into submission.
If Donghuang Taiyi had designs on his possessions, then he would target the people of the Yin-Yang School!
