Chapter 279

"Young Master, that person in the dungeon refuses to eat or drink."

Lu Li frowned, then spoke to Ying Mo.

Because Ying Mo did not intend to kill Donghuang Taiyi completely, Lu Li had imprisoned Donghuang Taiyi in the dungeon.

He had originally intended to let him linger on, but he did not expect Donghuang Taiyi to refuse to eat or drink.

Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Ying Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Hmph, it seems he still hasn't learned his lesson."

"I said before, his life has long since not been in his own hands."

"Let's go, I want to see how he wants to die."

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Ying Mo's mouth, and he lifted his leg to walk toward the dungeon.

Inside the dungeon.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi had slowly recovered.

His body was no longer like a pile of rotten flesh, only able to lie on the ground.

Having slowly recovered, he was now able to sit cross-legged on the floor.

This was the first time in his life he had been reduced to a prisoner.

Beside him were placed meals.

But Donghuang Taiyi did not even glance at these meals.

He would not tolerate becoming a prisoner to these people.

Although, with his level of strength, it was difficult to die by fasting.

But by doing this, he wanted to send a message to those people.

The movement suddenly coming from the doorway allowed a beam of light to pierce in.

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then he saw a familiar figure walk in through the door.

This figure was wearing black clothes, different from the usual.

A white robe gave this figure a somewhat different temperament.

Having adapted to the light from the doorway, Donghuang Taiyi returned to his expressionless look.

Ying Mo slowly walked in front of Donghuang Taiyi, and immediately saw the meals placed to the side.

He bent down slightly, leaned close to Donghuang Taiyi inside, and spoke.

"With your strength, it is obviously impossible to die by fasting."

"Yet you still did it."

"Let me guess what you are trying to do?"

A somewhat wicked smile appeared on the corner of Ying Mo's mouth.

Combined with his cold mask, it appeared somewhat demonic.

This was a rare instance of Ying Mo revealing his wicked nature in front of outsiders.

Donghuang Taiyi looked at the ghost before him, feeling that he was more like an evil spirit escaped from the underworld at this moment.

His whole body exuded a wicked aura.

He had considered himself wicked enough before.

But compared to the ghost at this moment, it was clearly a case of the minor meeting the major.

Looking at the silent Donghuang Taiyi, Ying Mo's mouth curled into a smile once again.

"Speak, what exactly do you want by bringing me here?"

Ying Mo spoke.

"Since you are investigating the truth of that year, don't you want to know more?"

Donghuang Taiyi also spoke his first sentence.

He knew he was bound to die, but even in death, he could use the chips in his hand to achieve something.

Even reduced to this state, he would not give up the chips in his hand.

"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

The smile on Ying Mo's mouth slowly turned into a cold sneer.

No matter what kind of information this person held, he had already fallen into his hands.

"There are some things that only I want to say; no one has ever been able to force me to say them."

A cold sneer also appeared on Donghuang Taiyi's face.

Even as a prisoner.

But all they could do was force him to die.

"I never accept threats."

"Since he won't eat, then don't send him any more food from now on."

"Watch him well."

Ying Mo stood up, took a step back, and spoke to Lu Li behind him.

Donghuang Taiyi watched helplessly as the ghost left his presence.

The arrogance in his bones left him unable to speak.

Walking out of the dungeon, Ying Mo let out a cold snort.

This person was truly delusional.

Reduced to this state, did he still think he could turn the tables?

It seemed he had been too kind.

"From now on, subject him to torture every single day."

Ying Mo's eyes turned cold.

He had not forgotten that this person was the true culprit back then, and all 30, 00 of his brothers had died at his hands.

Leaving him alive now was not out of kindness, but to make him watch as everything he cared about was destroyed by his own hands.

Lu Li nodded.

She had felt from the beginning that it was too easy on him.

But since the Young Master had not given the order, she could not act against this person on her own.

Now with the Young Master's order, the person inside would never have an easy time again.

"Young Master, the matters here in Xianyang City have been handled securely."

"The Mohist side has also been fully handed over to Wumian to be responsible for."

"We can set off for the border."

Lu Li continued.

Knowing that all matters were resolved, a murderous intent immediately appeared in Ying Mo's eyes.

"Set off tomorrow for the border."

The murderous aura erupted, and even the withered trees in the courtyard could not withstand this powerful pressure.

The branches snapped one after another.

………

Ever since Yuan Zuozong learned that the entire village had been slaughtered, he had been searching the grasslands for traces of the Xiongnu.

But that group of Xiongnu seemed to know they were being watched.

For the past few days, they had rarely appeared on the grasslands.

The wind and snow on the grasslands were even more fierce than in the Great Qin.

These days, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry had been traversing the grasslands.

Even with the wind and snow filling the sky, it could not stop their progress across the grasslands.

"Leader, it seems some clues have been discovered ahead."

Suddenly, a general in front turned his head and spoke to Yuan Zuozong.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zuozong immediately pulled the reins and rushed toward the front.

Indeed, he saw several faint figures in the wind and snow.

"Give chase."

Yuan Zuozong gave the order, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry behind him rushed forward like a pack of wolves in the wind and snow.

And in front of them was indeed a small Xiongnu squad out scouting the situation.

The wind and snow obscured their vision, leaving them completely unaware of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry behind them.

By the time they realized something was wrong, the entire squad was already surrounded by the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

"Boss, what do we do?"

One of them asked the leading man.

All of their faces wore serious expressions.

They had all unconsciously gripped the large blades in their hands.

The horses they sat upon also emitted agitated breathing sounds at this moment.

The sixth sense of the animals also made them aware of the danger at this moment.

The leading Xiongnu man looked gloomily at the Great Qin army surrounding them.

"What is there to hesitate about? Fight them to the death."

Having said this, he raised the large blade in his hand and charged toward the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry first.
