Chapter 385

Perhaps he is somewhat selfish, but he is, by nature, a selfish man.

At this very moment, Yan Dan sensed a murderous aura; it came from outside the camp, causing his expression to turn solemn at once.

He never hesitated to use the greatest malice to speculate about others.

Especially when he had failed in his plot to assassinate Ying Zheng, bringing such a catastrophe upon the State of Yan.

Inside the King of Yan's camp.

After sending men to capture Yan Dan, the King of Yan had softened his heart for a moment, but upon thinking of the words of Yan Chun Jun, he ultimately steeled his heart.

A short while later, another guard arrived.

The King of Yan asked him if Yan Dan had been captured, but instead, he received terrible news.

It was indeed terrible news.

Because Yan Dan was, unexpectedly, a martial arts expert who had been hiding his true strength; he had defeated the soldiers sent to capture him and then fled.

"How could this be?!"

Upon hearing this news, the King of Yan was incomparably shocked.

Then, he drew a deep, cold breath.

"This rebellious son, he hid himself truly deep!"

Yan Chun Jun soon learned of this news as well.

When disaster strikes, everyone can only look out for themselves.

For his own sake, Yan Dan began to ponder an escape route; for the sake of self-preservation, the King of Yan prepared to capture Yan Dan and offer him to the Qin Guo; and for Yan Chun Jun, he likewise had his own method of self-preservation.

"I truly underestimated the brat Yan Dan!"

After learning that Yan Dan had escaped, Yan Chun Jun sighed, then looked at the person before him, "I can help you capture the King of Yan, but I hope you will keep your promise!"

"My lord, what are you saying? Hasn't the cooperation between our Qin Guo and you always been very pleasant?"

Yan Chun Jun's eyes flickered; it was indeed quite pleasant, and it was only after this person before him had sought him out that he learned the former guard leader, Jue Ying, was actually a member of the Qin Guo's Luo Wang.

It was a pity about Jue Ying; he possessed impressive strength, yet died suddenly due to a hidden ailment.

That's right, Su Xuan had altered some of Yan Chun Jun's perceptions; in Yan Chun Jun's mind, Jue Ying had not been killed by anyone, but had died suddenly from a hidden ailment.

After leaving the State of Yan, Su Xuan did not remove the contingency he had left within Yan Chun Jun, nor did he lift his control over him; he had originally kept Yan Chun Jun to see if he might bring him some surprises.

As it turned out, he had not even made contact with Yan Chun Jun when Luo Wang reached him first.

Hearing these words from the Luo Wang member, Yan Chun Jun immediately made his decision.

Inside the camp, the King of Yan was still furious over Yan Dan's escape.

Then he saw Yan Chun Jun step into the camp.

He assumed Yan Chun Jun had come to comfort him.

As it turned out, what Yan Chun Jun did was beyond the King of Yan's expectations.

"In other words, Yan Chun Jun colluded with the Yan State Grand General Yan Yi, launched a mutiny, captured the King of Yan, and surrendered to the Qin Guo, and the State of Yan just perished like that?"

In the Qin Guo, after Su Xuan learned the latest developments regarding the war with Yan, he also began to click his tongue in wonder.

He had not expected—even he had not expected—that Yan Chun Jun would do such a thing.

The fall of the State of Yan was truly dramatic.

As it turned out, it had perished at the hands of Yan Chun Jun.

In this matter, Su Xuan could actually be considered to have rendered great service, because if it weren't for him, Yan Chun Jun would have long since died at the hands of Xue Nu; if Yan Chun Jun had died early, the State of Yan would not have fallen so easily.

"So, I am the mastermind behind the destruction of the State of Yan!"

Su Xuan appeared somewhat self-satisfied.

Afterward, he continued to read the intelligence in his hand.

In this report, only one person was missing: the Crown Prince of Yan, Yan Dan.

Was this an oversight?

Clearly not.

It was because Yan Dan was not among the captives; long before Yan Chun Jun launched the mutiny and captured the King of Yan, the King of Yan had considered the idea of using Yan Dan's life as the price to sue for peace with the Qin Guo, but Yan Dan had sensed it, and relying on his profound martial arts, he had escaped directly.

After Su Xuan finished reading the intelligence, he handed it to the Six-Fingered Black Hero before him.

The Six-Fingered Black Hero also took a look, and upon learning that the State of Yan had perished in such a dramatic fashion, he could not help but sigh, then immediately began to analyze Yan Dan's whereabouts.

"The Mohist School does not yet know that I have not died; as the new Mohist Leader, Yan Dan has only one place to go at this time, and that is the Mohist Mechanical City!"

The Six-Fingered Black Hero said in a deep voice.

"The State of Yan has already perished; it is time to return to the Mechanical City and settle my grievances with Yan Dan!"

The Six-Fingered Black Hero was certain that Yan Dan was currently hiding in the Mechanical City; although the Agricultural School also had a hand in Yan Dan's plot against him that day, as the Mohist Leader, he could not allow Yan Dan, this treacherous villain, to control the Mohist School and lead it into a dead end.

He decided to go to the Mohist Mechanical City.

Upon learning of this, Jing Ke was the first to express his stance, deciding to follow the Six-Fingered Black Hero back to the Mechanical City.

Also deciding to follow the Six-Fingered Black Hero to the Mechanical City were Su Xuan and Dongjun Yanfei.

Su Xuan was simply interested in the Mechanical City, having never been there, while Yanfei wanted to go to the Mechanical City because Su Xuan had mentioned something a long time ago.

The Yin-Yang School's supreme treasure, the Illusion Music Box, was hidden in the Mechanical City.
