Chapter 252: The first Heavenly Gang Daoist technique!

After the fall of Yan, Yan Dan had fled to the Mohist Mechanical City.

The Mechanical City's movements were hidden, and with Yan Dan hiding there, logically speaking, nothing should have happened.

In fact, in Lord Lord Changping's plan, he was prepared to make the Mechanical City the headquarters for anti-Qin elements. The relationship between the Nong Family and Yan Dan would not be severed by the failure of the assassination. On the contrary, he secretly ordered Tian Guang to continue maintaining this relationship and introduce such anti-Qin elements to Yan Dan.

Although Yan had already fallen, and they had lost a state to draw fire for Chu, as long as Yan Dan was still the Mohist Leader, he still had value.

In Lord Lord Changping's estimation, with the fall of Yan and Yan Dan becoming a wanted criminal, he should have kept a low profile for a long time, hiding in the Mechanical City and not going out.

Yet, Yan Dan had suddenly died!

Yan Dan's death was beyond his expectations; it was something he had never thought of.

Either Yan Dan had gone out and been killed, or people from the Qin had already infiltrated the Mechanical City. But was that possible? Not to mention the city's hidden location, even if the Qin knew where it was, the outer areas were filled with mechanisms, and the terrain was easy to defend and hard to attack. At the very least, a large army would be needed to conquer it.

If Ying Zheng had really mobilized such a large army, Lord Lord Changping could not have been unaware.

Therefore, the Mechanical City must not have been conquered.

Because of Yan Dan's death, Lord Lord Changping had all sorts of guesses.

It wasn't until several days later that he finally learned the answer.

The Qin's Net spread throughout the world and was the most powerful spy organization in the world. Lord Lord Changping had long realized the importance of cultivating a spy organization, but the spy organization under his command was not infiltrated into the various states of the world, but into the various schools of thought.

The Mohist School hid his eyes and ears.

He sent spies into the Mohist School initially to determine if Yan Dan was following his plan step by step to carry out the Dragon-Slaying Plan. If there were deviations in the execution process, he could adjust subsequent plans accordingly.

His people did not have a very high status in the Mohist School, but it was enough to find out what happened in the Mechanical City.

Or rather, what had happened in the city recently was no longer a secret to the Mohists.

"The Six-Fingered Black Knight has returned from the dead, exposed Yan Dan's true face, and then executed him..."

Upon receiving the letter from his spy inside the Mohist School, Lord Lord Changping was stunned. His first reaction was that it was impossible; after all, Tian Guang had repeatedly assured him that the Six-Fingered Black Knight was dead.

But this intelligence from inside the Mohist School refuted the previous facts.

Then, why didn't the Six-Fingered Black Knight die? How did he deceive everyone?

This spy inside the Mohist School also provided the answer.

It was the handiwork of the Yin-Yang Sect Master!

He had used a technique to turn someone else's corpse into the Six-Fingered Black Knight's appearance, thereby deceiving everyone.

This answer was unbelievable, but if one believed it, it could explain everything.

"The Yin-Yang Sect Master saved the Six-Fingered Black Knight, but he wasn't unscathed. He might have been injured, so he spent a long time recovering, and only recovered before Jing Ke's assassination attempt?"

"Jing Ke gave up the assassination because he saw the Six-Fingered Black Knight and was persuaded by him?"

"Then, the Six-Fingered Black Knight went to the Mechanical City and executed Yan Dan. Because of the Yin-Yang Sect Master, he defected to Ying Zheng. This also explains why the head of the executed Yan Dan fell into Ying Zheng's hands..."

Lord Lord Changping was a smart man and immediately tried to deduce the truth based on the intelligence in his hands and the details of certain events that had already occurred.

Unfortunately, the status of the spy he sent to the Mechanical City was not high enough; he was just a low-level outer disciple, and some core secrets could not be explored.

The Mohist disciples in the Central Hall that day were all of some status and seniority.

Realizing that some of what Yan Dan said was too shocking, especially the parts involving Lord Lord Changping of the Qin, the Six-Fingered Black Knight secretly ordered everyone not to leak those things casually.

The Mohists were always united, and those people kept the secret well.

Because this part of the intelligence was missing, Lord Lord Changping fell into a state of conflict.

That was, whether his collusion with Yan Dan to assassinate Ying Zheng had been discovered by outsiders, and whether Ying Zheng knew about it.

If he knew, then for him, the Qin would no longer be safe.

Lord Lord Changping now regretted it a bit. In order to reassure Yan Dan and persuade him to carry out the Dragon-Slaying Plan, he had allowed Tian Guang to tell Yan Dan that he was the mastermind. Now, this had become a hidden danger.

"I must make some preparations!"

Lord Lord Changping thought to himself.

If the Mohist School defected to the Qin and Ying Zheng knew what he had done in collusion with Yan Dan, the Qin would be extremely dangerous for him.

He had to leave a way out for himself.

At the same time, after this incident, he realized once again that Su Xuan was a troublesome person.

During Jing Ke's assassination attempt, Su Xuan's fleeting action made him guess part of the reason for the failure. He didn't expect that when Su Xuan went to Yan, he had done more than he imagined, actually secretly saving the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

"This person must not be left alive!"

A trace of killing intent flashed in Lord Lord Changping's eyes.

After knowing the ins and outs of the Mohist affair, Lord Lord Changping began to prepare a way out to ensure that if his affairs were exposed, he could flee the Qin at any time. What made him feel at ease was that after Yan Dan's death, Ying Zheng did not pursue his collusion with Yan Dan, as if he didn't know about it, or perhaps Yan Dan had kept the secret well and hadn't leaked it even in death.

But even so, the current situation still made him frown.

……

Lishan, Yin-Yang School.

Since returning from saving the Six-Fingered Black Knight in Yan, Su Xuan had basically not been idle. With Yan Dan's death and the Mohist School's surrender to the Qin, he could finally be considered truly idle.

In Lishan, he underwent a long period of bitter cultivation.

On this day, among the 108 stars floating in his mind, one of the 36 great stars representing the Heavenly Gang 36 Methods was suddenly lit up.

As this great star lit up, a Daoist technique more mysterious than the Earthly Fiend 72 Arts entered his mind. After a long time since crossing into this world, he had finally mastered his first Heavenly Gang Daoist technique.

Its name was—"Nine Breaths of Qi-Feeding!"
