Chapter 273

Yanfei was never a woman who followed the rules; she had very much her own ideas.

Although Su Xuan had told her not to strike at Yan Dan or scheme for the Seven Luminaries of the Dragon, and Yanfei had complied, Su Xuan had not forbidden her from seeking the whereabouts of the Mohist School's Mechanized City from Yan Dan.

Compared to the elusive Seven Luminaries of the Dragon, the Yin-Yang School's long-lost supreme treasure, the Phantom Music Box, was clearly of more concern to Yanfei.

Legend has it that this object contains endless musical rhythms; if one hears the right one, it can boost a person's strength in an instant, making it a rare treasure that amplifies power.

From Su Xuan, 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 cultivation had improved significantly.

But this kind of progress was clearly not enough to satisfy her.

"937"

If she could retrieve the Phantom Music Box and use its aid, her strength would certainly be able to improve further.

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

The fact that the other party came to him to ask about the whereabouts of the Mohist Mechanized City clearly meant they knew of the relationship between him and the Mohist School.

He had a deep connection with the Mohist School, yet few people knew of this matter.

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

"I advise you to leave here quickly. This is the Qin Guo; if anything happens to me, you cannot bear the consequences!"

There was no problem with what he said; he was a hostage prince sent by the State of Yan to the Qin Guo. Although he was here as a hostage, even the Qin Guo had to treat him well.

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

This was clearly not a good thing.

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

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

Yan Dan only felt as if a brilliant sun had risen in the cold night, dispelling the chill of the night. However, Yan Dan did not feel any warmth from it; on the contrary, he only felt a sharp killing intent.

Yanfei's strikes were always decisive, with no intention of holding back.

Yan Dan's heart tightened. Although he did not know who the person before him was, he was clearly not someone who would sit and wait for death.

He also waved his sleeves, operating his Mohist internal energy to the limit. As he flicked his sleeves, internal energy like ink poured out, meeting the dazzling golden light released by Yanfei.

No one would have thought that the Crown Prince of the State of Yan, Yan Dan, was actually a martial arts expert. With this single move of releasing internal energy, he was at least what is known in the jianghu as an Innate Realm expert. No, the Innate Realm only initially achieves the release of 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 flowing light released by Yanfei, melted away like snow meeting a scorching sun.

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

Even if there was a disparity in strength, this situation should not have occurred.

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

Yanfei's slender hand gripped his throat. As their eyes met, Yan Dan saw only coldness in Yanfei's gaze. "Tell me, the whereabouts of the Mohist Mechanized City!"

"Cough, cough..." With his throat gripped and a sense of suffocation setting in, Yan Dan coughed instinctively.

Yanfei let go and looked at Yan Dan coldly.

Yan Dan was horrified in his heart; he truly had not expected that he would lose so quickly.

The strength of the woman before him was simply shocking.

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

First of all, the Leader should be able to defeat her. Apart from the Leader, among the others, Jing Qing might be able to exchange blows with her.

As for the others, 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 before him. Regarding Yanfei's previous defeat and coercion of him, Yan Dan acted as if it had never happened, asking Yanfei, "Does this young lady want to know the whereabouts of the Mohist Mechanized City?"

He no longer claimed, as he had before, that he did not know the whereabouts of the Mechanized City, and began to change his tune.

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