Chapter 248: Yan Dan, your deeds have been exposed!

"You are calmer than I imagined!"

Watching Yan Dan quickly regain his composure after his initial panic, the Six-Fingered Black Knight's gaze grew colder. He continued, "Yan Dan, some grudges are time to settle!"

As he spoke, he gave Yan Dan no time to prepare, thrusting his palm out from his sleeve to attack.

"I don't know who you are, but you are not him. Even if you were the real one, I would not fear you, let alone a fake!"

A sword hummed in response to Yan Dan's voice. As ink-colored sword energy splashed, the black-ruler-like sword blocked the Six-Fingered Black Knight's palm strike.

"Is that so? You think I am a fake?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight found Yan Dan's words increasingly amusing.

Powerful internal energy surged from his palm, clashing with the energy Yan Dan had infused into his sword, Mo Mei. Yan Dan frowned, not expecting this fake Six-Fingered Black Knight to be so powerful. He knew that behind this person, the Yin-Yang Sect Master and Lady Dongjun Yanfei had yet to act. If they chose to join in, he might truly fall into the hands of the Yin-Yang School and be secretly taken back to the Qin.

Being taken back to the Qin and falling into Ying Zheng's hands was something Yan Dan could not accept.

Especially since Ying Zheng knew he was the mastermind behind the assassination attempt.

In such a situation, falling into the hands of the Qin meant certain death.

However, it was not entirely without hope.

The fact that the three Yin-Yang members were not attacking simultaneously was his chance.

He only needed to force back this fake Six-Fingered Black Knight, then dash into the corridor and use his exquisite movement techniques to escape to other parts of the forbidden grounds.

The forbidden grounds were a labyrinth. The Yin-Yang members, having just arrived, surely didn't know the intricacies. As the Mohist leader, he was intimately familiar with them. Once he escaped, this would be his home turf, and he could toy with these Yin-Yang members at will.

In a short instant, Yan Dan grasped his path to survival.

But this all had one prerequisite: he had to shake off the Six-Fingered Black Knight before him.

The next moment, his expression changed abruptly.

He felt a massive surge of internal energy pour from the opponent's palm, shattering the energy he had infused into Mo Mei and striking his body with force. He was intimately familiar with the nature of this energy—it was Mohist internal energy.

"How can this be? ～!"

Mo Mei was pressed down hard by the Six-Fingered Black Knight's palm, which then struck Yan Dan's chest. Yan Dan felt his internal organs tremble, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

"Compared to before, your cultivation has improved quite a bit. One can see how hard you've been training. Unfortunately, compared to me, you are still much weaker!"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight evaluated Yan Dan, who had been severely injured by him.

He turned his gaze to Su Xuan and said, "Although I am no match for you, defeating a Yan Dan is more than enough."

This was actually a response to what Su Xuan had said before entering the forbidden grounds.

Before entering, Su Xuan had given the Six-Fingered Black Knight a reason: Yan Dan was cunning, and he feared the Six-Fingered Black Knight might encounter an accident.

The current facts proved that he had not encountered any accidents.

Su Xuan heard the seriousness in the Six-Fingered Black Knight's words and said nothing, merely flicking his finger, sending several wisps of energy into Yan Dan's body.

Feeling the Six-Fingered Black Knight's gaze, Su Xuan explained, "Well, to prevent Yan Dan from escaping halfway and causing an accident, I've placed a few shackles on him!"

……

The process of capturing Yan Dan went more smoothly than imagined.

Afterward, the Six-Fingered Black Knight stepped forward, hoisted Yan Dan up, and prepared to take him out of the forbidden grounds.

Although there were two young people nearby, in the Six-Fingered Black Knight's view, they probably wouldn't be willing to help him carry Yan Dan, so this manual labor had to be done by him, an old man.

Young people these days really had less and less respect for the elderly.

"Where are you taking me?"

In the corridor, Yan Dan had not lost consciousness; he had only lost all ability to act. Feeling the Six-Fingered Black Knight carrying him forward, he asked angrily.

"To the Central Hall, to face judgment!"

Upon hearing this answer, Yan Dan was stunned.

He had thought the Yin-Yang members would secretly take him out of the forbidden grounds and then to the Qin. He hadn't expected their destination to be the Mohist Central Hall.

Wait, the Yin-Yang members appeared in the forbidden grounds for no reason. Could it be that while he was in seclusion, the entire Mechanical City had been conquered by the Qin?

Otherwise, why would these Yin-Yang members take him to the Central Hall?

Clearly, the Mohist School had been defeated, and the Qin had occupied the city.

Thinking of this possibility, Yan Dan became increasingly convinced it was the truth, and he began to grow fearful and uneasy.

It wasn't until he was carried out of the forbidden grounds, stepped into the city, and arrived at the Central Hall that he realized this was not the case.

"Leader, Leader!"

Many voices called out. Yan Dan was stunned upon hearing this; the city had not been occupied by the Qin. Because of his previous experience, he stopped pretending to be calm and shouted, "Why don't you come and save me?"

However, after his words, not a single person rushed forward to fight the Yin-Yang members, nor did anyone save him. Everyone looked at him with complex expressions.

Yan Dan, carried on the Six-Fingered Black Knight's shoulder, looked at the crowd, increasingly confused.

Thud!

He was thrown hard onto the ground by the Six-Fingered Black Knight, and a wave of pain shot through his body. This humiliation of being thrown to the ground was something Yan Dan had never endured before.

Immediately, he saw Master Ban, Master Xu, Thief Zhi, and others walking over, looking at him lying on the ground with subtle expressions.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight looked down at Yan Dan and answered the question in his heart, "The 'Leader' they are referring to is me!"

"Yan Dan, your deeds have been exposed!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Dan's expression changed drastically.

What deeds of his had been exposed?

Naturally, it was the conspiracy with the Nong Family to murder the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

He thought he had done it flawlessly, never expecting it to be exposed!

This person, was he really the Six-Fingered Black Knight? He had never died from the very beginning!
