Chapter 354
Time flew by.
Another while passed.
The news that the Black Hero with Six Fingers had died in the State of Yan was learned by the members of the Mohist School, and many Mohist leaders hurried toward the State of Yan.
Inside the Crown Prince's mansion, they saw the corpse of the Black Hero with Six Fingers.
Receiving the news was one thing, but truly seeing the corpse of the Black Hero with Six Fingers with their own eyes, and seeing Mo Mei, the token of the Mohist Leader, was another matter entirely.
Master Ban's hair was white as snow, and his body swayed.
Jing Ke's expression was sorrowful, and tears could not help but fall.
Qin Wuyang also gritted his teeth, and he couldn't help but look at Yan Dan and ask: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, who exactly harmed the Leader?"
Upon hearing Qin Wuyang's words, the other Mohist leaders also looked toward Yan Dan one after another.
The Black Hero with Six Fingers had always had a reputation for chivalry in the jianghu and rarely bore grudges against others. Who exactly was so deranged as to kill him? At the same time, the Black Hero with Six Fingers' strength was formidable; the person capable of killing him must have had terrifying strength as well.
Quite a few Mohist leaders realized this, but they did not care. The murderer had killed their Mohist Leader; this was a blood feud. No matter how powerful that person was, they had to avenge this grudge.
"It was the Qin Guo's Luo Wang, as well as the Yin-Yang School!"
Yan Dan had found a scapegoat right from the beginning—or to be precise, it was the scapegoat found for him by Tian Guang and the Lord Changping Jun behind Tian Guang.
"Luo Wang? And the Yin-Yang School?"
The many Mohist leaders looked at Yan Dan, their faces full of curiosity.
Yan Dan said in a deep voice: "The Qin Guo's Luo Wang organization is spread throughout the world. Among them are many powerful assassins. They discovered that the Leader had a close relationship with me, and previously even helped me escape from the Qin Guo, so they harbored murderous intent toward the Leader."
"Therefore, they joined forces with the Yin-Yang School to surround and kill the Leader!"
"Although the Leader's strength was not ordinary, the Yin-Yang School and Luo Wang are not people to be trifled with either. In a one-on-one fight, the Leader would naturally not be weaker than them, but with these two great forces joining hands, the Leader was ultimately defeated..."
Among the scapegoats found by Lord Changping Jun, there was actually only Luo Wang.
But Yan Dan felt that one Luo Wang was not enough to convince the people of the Mohist School, so he added the Yin-Yang School as well.
After all, when the Black Hero with Six Fingers helped him escape, the Yin-Yang School had tried to stop them, and the Black Hero with Six Fingers had fought against the five great elders of the Yin-Yang School; this was something that had already happened.
After that incident, it was only logical that the Yin-Yang School would launch a revenge attack against the Black Hero with Six Fingers!
"The Yin-Yang School, Luo Wang!!"
Master Ban chose to believe Yan Dan, concluding that these facts were uncovered by Yan Dan. Upon learning who had committed the crime against the Black Hero with Six Fingers, he was incomparably furious, his white hair standing on end.
"From this day forward, my Mohist School shall be irreconcilable with you lot!"
Qin Wuyang, Jing Ke, and the others also revealed their anger one after another, hating these two great forces to the extreme, wishing to kill them to vent their hatred.
After handling the funeral arrangements for the Black Hero with Six Fingers.
Another problem lay before the Mohist School: who would serve as the new Mohist Leader?
A nation cannot go a day without a ruler, and the position of Mohist Leader cannot remain vacant.
While the many Mohist leaders were discussing who should be the new Mohist Leader, Yan Dan displayed superb political skill, using means such as winning over and sowing discord to play the many Mohist leaders in the palm of his hand.
In the end, the Mohist leaders performed the "Heaven's Will" and unanimously selected Yan Dan to serve as the new Mohist Leader.
All of this was exactly as Yan Dan had expected!
And after becoming the Mohist Leader, the first order Yan Dan issued was... revenge.
"The Qin Guo is devoid of Dao, raising blades and soldiers to conquer the various states. The State of Han and the State of Zhao have already fallen one after another at the hands of the Qin Guo, and the previous Leader, the Black Hero with Six Fingers, was even intercepted and killed by the joint forces of the Qin Guo's Luo Wang and the Yin-Yang School!"
"My Mohist School repays kindness with kindness and hatred with hatred. This grudge must never be forgotten!"
"At the same time, for the sake of all living beings under heaven, we must also stop the Qin Guo from destroying the various states and prevent the outbreak of war!"
In the central hall of the Mohist Mechanical City, the new Mohist Leader, Yan Dan, looked at the many Mohist leaders and spoke slowly.
"I have a plan that can stop the Qin Guo's atrocities and save the common people of the world. This plan is called—Slaughter the Dragon!"
A dragon is a creature from mythology; there are no true dragons in the world, so generally, the creature "dragon" is used to refer to emperors and their ilk. As soon as Yan Dan said this, many in the Mohist School guessed Yan Dan's intention.
Some wanted to say something, but upon remembering that Yan Dan was already the Mohist Leader, they ultimately did not speak. ===== CHAPTER 356 =====
