Chapter 166: Sect Master, save me!

Yan Fei had never been a woman who played by the rules; she had her own ideas.

Although Su Xuan had told her not to take action against Yan Dan to seize the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, and Yan Fei had complied, Su Xuan had not forbidden her from obtaining the location of the Mohist Mechanical City from Yan Dan.

Compared to the ethereal Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, Yan Fei was clearly more concerned with the Yin-Yang School's long-lost treasure, the Phantom Music Box.

It was said that this object contained endless musical laws; if one heard the right ones, one's strength could advance significantly in an instant. It was a rare treasure that amplified one's power.

At Su Xuan's side, she had seen even greater power and had once sought it from him. After learning the "Violent Sun" technique from him, she could feel that her strength had improved quite a bit.

But this kind of progress clearly did not satisfy her.

"937"

If she could retrieve the Phantom Music Box, with its help, her strength would surely be able to improve further.

Yan Dan had originally wanted to ask who the other party was, but upon hearing Yan Fei's words, his expression changed slightly.

The fact that the other party came to him to ask for the location of the Mohist Mechanical City clearly meant she knew of his relationship with the Mohist School.

His relationship with the Mohist School was deep, but few people knew of this.

Yan Dan said with a cold face, "I don't know what you are talking about. What Mechanical City?"

"I advise you to leave here quickly. This is the Qin State. If anything happens to me, you cannot afford the consequences!"

There was nothing wrong with what he said; he was a hostage sent by the Yan State to the Qin State, but his status was that of the Crown Prince of Yan. Although he was here as a hostage, even the Qin State had to treat him well.

If something were to happen to him in the Qin State, for Qin, it would be equivalent to pushing their ally, the Yan State, directly to the opposite side.

This was clearly not a good thing.

Yan Fei acted as if she hadn't heard Yan Dan's words. She whispered to herself, "You don't want to say?"

As she spoke, her figure flew out, her fair hand reached out from her sleeve, and she suddenly launched an attack at Yan Dan. She was prepared to use her own methods to find out everything.

Yan Dan only felt as if a brilliant sun had risen in the cold night. This sun dispelled the cold of the night, yet Yan Dan felt no warmth from it; on the contrary, he only felt a sharp killing intent.

When Yan Fei took action, she was always decisive, with no intention of holding back.

Yan Dan's heart tightened. Although he didn't know who the person in front of him was, he was clearly not someone who would sit and wait for death.

He also waved his sleeves, and his Mohist internal energy was pushed to the limit. Between the flick of his sleeves, ink-like internal energy poured out, meeting the dazzling golden light released by Yan Fei.

No one would have expected that the Yan State's Crown Prince, Yan Dan, was actually a martial arts expert. With just this move of releasing internal energy, he was at least what the world called a Xiantian expert. No, the Xiantian realm was merely the initial stage of releasing internal energy; judging by his effortless technique, he was at least a Grandmaster-level expert.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

The internal energy released by Yan Dan, upon touching the golden flow released by Yan Fei, was like snow meeting a scorching sun, melting away one after another.

Yan Dan's expression changed slightly; he could feel that his internal energy was being suppressed.

Even if there was a disparity in strength, such a situation shouldn't have occurred.

As these thoughts flashed through Yan Dan's mind, the golden light struck him. A sharp pain surged, and Yan Dan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Yan Fei's fair hand gripped his throat. As their eyes met, Yan Dan saw only coldness in Yan Fei's gaze. "Tell me, the location of the Mohist Mechanical City!"

"Cough, cough…" With his throat gripped and the sensation of suffocation setting in, Yan Dan coughed instinctively.

Yan Fei let go and looked at Yan Dan coldly.

Yan Dan was horrified in his heart; he truly hadn't expected that he would lose so quickly.

The strength of the woman in front of him was simply shocking.

He wondered who in the Mohist School could contend with her.

First of all, the Sect Master should be able to defeat her. Besides the Sect Master, among the others, Jing Qing might be able to exchange a few blows with her.

As for the rest, Yan Dan was not very sure.

After all, the Mohist School was not known for individual strength.

While calming the shock in his heart, he chose to prevaricate with the person in front of him. Regarding Yan Fei's previous defeat and coercion of him, Yan Dan acted as if it had never happened, and asked Yan Fei, "Does this Miss want to know the location of the Mohist Mechanical City?"

He no longer claimed that he didn't know the location of the Mechanical City as he had before, and began to change his tune.

"Regarding the Mohist Mechanical City, I do know a little. It is said to be a mountain city built among towering mountains and ridges…"

Yan Dan began to educate Yan Fei on the origins of the Mohist Mechanical City. In any case, he was just stalling. Since Yan Fei was so interested in the Mohist Mechanical City, he didn't mind using this to buy himself some time.

As for why he was buying time?

Of course, it was because he had an appointment to meet with the Sect Master tonight.

Perhaps he was not this woman's match, but the Sect Master would certainly be able to defeat her.

As long as he could drag it out until the Sect Master arrived, he could reverse the disadvantage.

That was what Yan Dan thought.

He couldn't help but harbor some complaints in his heart toward the Six-Fingered Black Knight: the Sect Master was usually so punctual, why was he so late today?

He repeated the origins of the Mohist Mechanical City over and over again.

Yan Fei had listened with interest at first, as she was indeed curious about the Mohist Mechanical City, but as she listened, she realized something was wrong.

Yan Dan was deliberately stalling for time!

A hint of coldness appeared in her eyes. "If you don't tell me the location of the Mechanical City, don't blame me for being impolite!" 43

Yan Dan's brow furrowed as he pondered how to resolve the crisis.

An old voice sounded from behind. "Do you want to know the location of the Mechanical City that much?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei's expression turned cold.

Upon hearing this, Yan Dan was overjoyed and hurriedly exclaimed, "Sect Master, save me!"

The person who said this was none other than the Mohist Sect Master, the Six-Fingered Black Knight. Because he had met Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong during the day, he had been slightly delayed. He had not expected to encounter such a situation upon arriving at Yan Dan's place.

Hearing Yan Dan's words, the Six-Fingered Black Knight suddenly took action, attacking the woman in front of Yan Dan.

Yan Fei snorted coldly, also waving her sleeves. Light flickered as she met the Six-Fingered Black Knight's attack.
