Chapter 249: Mere commoners, how could they compare to my nobility!

Yan Dan was shocked, but then he dismissed the thought. He looked at Master Ban, Master Xu, and the others, "No, he is not the Six-Fingered Leader. The real Six-Fingered Leader was murdered by the joint efforts of the Yin-Yang School and the Qin's Net. You all saw his corpse!"

"Why would you believe this liar?"

"Or is it that you, like the traitor Jing Ke, have betrayed the Mohist School?"

When he said this, Yan Dan's voice became stern.

He didn't know why things had turned out this way, but even if the Six-Fingered Black Knight hadn't died, he had to insist that he was dead. In fact, he didn't even need to insist.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight must be dead.

After all, the body had already been buried.

"Yan Dan, how long do you intend to keep up this act?" the Six-Fingered Black Knight said in a deep voice, "If anyone else called me the Six-Fingered Leader, I would be very happy, but coming from you, forget it. No one knows when you might stab me in the back."

"As for the corpse you mentioned!"

He paused and looked at Master Ban, "Master Ban, tell him the answer and let him die knowing the truth."

Looking at Yan Dan, who had been captured by the Six-Fingered Black Knight, Master Ban's expression was complex, but he obeyed the order and revealed the truth about the corpse, "Just a while ago, we dug up the Six-Fingered Leader's grave. Although the body had decayed, after repeated examinations, both the physique and certain characteristics confirmed that the corpse was not the Six-Fingered Leader's!"

"How can this be?!"

Yan Dan's body shook, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

That corpse, examined by him and Tian Guang—he was certain it was the Six-Fingered Black Knight's. How could it suddenly become someone else's?

If that corpse wasn't the Six-Fingered Black Knight's, it meant the real one might not be dead, and the person beside him was the real Six-Fingered Black Knight. This was a result Yan Dan clearly could not accept.

He was still unwilling to give up and stubbornly said, "No, it's impossible. That was the Six-Fingered Leader's corpse." He looked at the Six-Fingered Black Knight beside him with his peripheral vision, "It must be you, you liar, who swapped the leader's corpse beforehand."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight's mouth curled into a strange smile, "You are quite good at finding excuses."

"Unfortunately, I didn't come here today just to engage in a verbal battle with you. I know that people like you, who are skilled at lying, would never tell the truth directly."

"Now that you are in a desperate situation, only by insisting that your past words are true can you win the hearts of the Mohists and help you resolve this crisis."

"Even if I really am the Six-Fingered Black Knight, you would only insist that he is dead and that I am a liar!"

"But in this world, there are many ways to make a person tell the truth!"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight spoke at length, then turned to Su Xuan and bowed.

"Lord Master Xuantian!"

The Mohists, seeing the Six-Fingered Black Knight suddenly bow to Su Xuan, became even more curious about Su Xuan's identity. Earlier, when Su Xuan and Lady Dongjun Yanfei arrived with the Six-Fingered Black Knight, they thought they were just his followers, but now, it seemed that was not the case.

"Who is he?"

Thief Zhi looked at Su Xuan curiously.

Master Ban frowned, "Being called Lord Master Xuantian by the Leader, I do recall one person!"

"Who?"

Before Master Ban could speak, Master Xu answered the question first, "The Yin-Yang School's Sect Master, the Master Xuantian Daoist Lord!"

Thief Zhi's eyes narrowed instantly.

Master Ban turned to look at Master Xu, "Master Xu guessed it too?"

Master Xu said, "Not exactly, but the Six-Fingered Leader told me earlier that the woman is the Yin-Yang School's Lady Dongjun Yanfei."

"My Mohist School and the Yin-Yang School have long-standing grudges. I never thought the Six-Fingered Leader would travel with the Yin-Yang Sect Master..."

Master Ban said something with an inexplicable meaning, then immediately looked back at the Six-Fingered Black Knight, wanting to see why he had bowed to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan stepped forward.

Under the gaze of Master Ban and the others, he raised his finger and pointed it at Yan Dan.

Master Ban and the others were horrified, thinking Su Xuan was going to kill Yan Dan with that finger.

But they realized they were wrong.

Yan Dan did not die, but his eyes became unfocused and vacant.

"Whatever you want to ask, just go ahead and ask!"

Su Xuan turned and said to the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was stunned, "It's over already? I know you Yin-Yang people have Soul-Shifting techniques to peer into others' thoughts and memories, but don't you need to maintain the technique from the side?"

"No need!"

Su Xuan replied calmly, "Soul-Shifting techniques are all outdated things. This method of mine is more mysterious and convenient than those!"

Lady Dongjun Yanfei, hearing Su Xuan evaluate the Yin-Yang techniques this way, couldn't help but grumble inwardly. The techniques Lord Master Xuantian mastered were indeed more mysterious and convenient than the Yin-Yang School's, but he wouldn't teach them to them! At least let them make some progress!

The Six-Fingered Black Knight said no more. In the presence of Su Xuan, this Yin-Yang Sect Master, he had seen too many miraculous methods; one more was not surprising. The only luck now was that they were not enemies.

The more he interacted with Su Xuan, the less the Six-Fingered Black Knight wanted to be an enemy of such a person.

He stepped forward and asked the vacant-eyed Yan Dan, "Who instigated you to murder the Six-Fingered Black Knight?"

Upon hearing this question, Yan Dan's eyes remained vacant, but his emotions became unusually agitated, "No one instigated me to murder the Six-Fingered Black Knight. It was all the Six-Fingered Black Knight's own fault!"

"If he had agreed to the assassination of the Qin, I wouldn't have thought of killing him!"

"The Qin has destroyed several states in succession. Assassinating the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, is the only way to preserve the state of Yan. But the Six-Fingered Black Knight refused my proposal, citing that it would harm the common people."

"How ridiculous!"

"The lives of mere commoners, how could they compare to mine!"
