Chapter 451: Master Xun Stunned, Did You Take Down the Yin-Yang School?
When Li Mo first met Master Xun, the nations were still embroiled in endless conflicts. But now, only one dynasty remains. That is the Great Qin!
Li Mo chuckled, “If I said that without my appearance, the world would ultimately have become what it is today, would you believe it, Master?”
Master Xun paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. The state of the world was such that besides the Qin State, the other countries had crumbled to their very core. From top to bottom, they cared only for pleasure or exploited the common people. While kings were busy thinking about their own fun, ministers schemed daily on how to line their pockets. Such a nation is terminally ill.
Yet, in these times, the Qin State showcased its ambition. Successive kings had tirelessly worked towards strengthening their realm. Now, here comes Ying Zheng, single-mindedly focused on his career. Compared to the rulers of those other states, he was like a dimensional assault!
The Qin State’s annexation of the Six States was just a matter of time!
“By the way, Master, what happened to the National Advisor when he traveled to Loulan 16 days ago?” Master Xun knew that Li Mo had been gathering the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon. And indeed, he had managed to collect all the long-scattered bronze boxes from across the states. Secrets hidden for so many years would ultimately be unveiled.
Master Xun wasn’t particularly interested in this, but Li Mo mentioned Donghuang Taiyi was also going. He had some understanding of Donghuang Taiyi. The style of the Yin-Yang School revealed that he was a man of dark intents—not someone to mess with. But neither was Li Mo.
Regardless of what was hidden behind the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, it was unlikely that the two would easily yield to one another.
“He went. He just returned the day before yesterday,” Li Mo replied.
Master Xun asked, “And how did that turn out? I assume Donghuang Taiyi isn’t easy to deal with?”
Li Mo paused for a moment before revealing the truth. “He’s dead.”
“What?!” The usually reserved Master Xun couldn’t hide his shock: “Dead?”
It’s no wonder he was incredulous. Although Donghuang Taiyi wasn’t a good person, he was indeed one of the top tier experts among their generation. Even Guiguzi, who specialized in swordsmanship and offense, wouldn’t dare claim he could kill him!
Yet, such a formidable figure quietly met his end in Loulan!
“Did you kill him?” Master Xun stared intently at Li Mo, his expression turning extremely serious.
Li Mo, being straightforward, shook his head and said, “No.”
Master Xun was stunned for a long moment, stroking his beard as he mused, “I see.”
“What do you see?” Now it was Li Mo’s turn to be confused.
Master Xun explained, “The Yin-Yang School always retaliates with a vengeance. If you killed Donghuang Taiyi, they surely won’t let it go easily. It’s been said that the Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School is about to enter the Spirit Realm. If she finds out you killed Donghuang Taiyi, it will certainly attract unnecessary trouble.”
“Don’t worry, my lips are sealed; I won’t leak anything,” Master Xun assured him solemnly.
Seeing him so adamant, Li Mo momentarily didn’t know what to say. After considering, he added, “Well, the Dongjun went too, along with her junior sister—they both went.”
Master Xun was shocked, “So, you mean they were also killed by you?”
That shouldn’t be the case! Killing beautiful flowers, such isn’t the style of our National Advisor!
At that moment, a tall purple figure unexpectedly walked in from outside the courtyard. Her voice was ethereal, “The Grand Priestess has sent news back—there’s no record found by the Yin-Yang School… Excuse me for intruding, Moon Goddess.”
Li Mo looked up, while Master Xun turned around. Li Mo nodded at the Moon Goddess, while Master Xun appeared utterly bewildered.
“Yin-Yang School’s Moon Goddess, greetings, Master Xun,” the Moon Goddess acknowledged him.
Only then did Master Xun finally snap out of it. “Ah, so it’s the protector of the Yin-Yang School, my apologies.”
As soon as the Moon Goddess left, Master Xun couldn’t contain his curiosity and pointed outside, asking Li Mo, “What’s going on? You just said Donghuang Taiyi was killed by you? How come the protector of the Yin-Yang School is here with you??”
Li Mo rubbed his forehead. I told you already, I didn’t kill Donghuang Taiyi!
Besides, he’s dead—why can’t the Moon Goddess be here with me?
Sitting on the wall and enjoying the show, Yan Lingji and Hong Liang both burst into laughter.
Yan Lingji rolled her eyes, saying, “Well, that’s simple; the Moon Goddess is his wife!”
Hong Liang chimed in, “And don’t forget Sister Fei Yan; she’s currently in seclusion in the courtyard!”
Master Xun was left wide-eyed, gazing at Li Mo in shock.
He had known for a while about Fei Yan’s connection with Li Mo. But based on his understanding of the Yin-Yang School, he suspected there must be some trickery involved and had even written him a letter advising caution.
He never imagined that the insider arranged by Donghuang Taiyi would end up being turned!
And two sister disciples at that!
“National Advisor, did you manage to take down the entire Yin-Yang School?” The ruthless nature of the women from the Yin-Yang School was something he was well aware of. They were terrifyingly merciless, more ruthless than slaughterers!
For him to tame them, one could only imagine the means he employed!
Li Mo reflected for a moment. The Yin-Yang School currently followed Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess. And both of them listened to him.
So, Master Xun’s statement seemed quite valid!
“Indeed!” He nodded.
Upon hearing this, Master Xun immediately gave a thumbs-up: “National Advisor, you’ve got a good grip on things!”
