In fact, she had already discovered Xu Qing's existence long ago. She had realized it when Xu Qing defeated those Yin Yang School disciples and saved Dao Zhi.
But he did not show up at the time.
The main reason is that Xu Qing's strength was quite formidable.
She wanted to see what Xu Qing's purpose was.
Afterwards, Xu Qing talked and parted ways with Dao Zhi. Logically, she should have pursued Dao Zhi, since the item was very likely to have fallen into Dao Zhi's hands. However, after thinking about it, she ultimately chose to follow Xu Qing.
As a result, there was an unexpected gain.
The long-lost Shao Siming was actually right beside this person.
And this person, who actually managed to discover her existence, is indeed not to be underestimated.
Even so, now that we've encountered Shao Siming, it would be rather unreasonable not to take them back.
Therefore, in response to Xu Qing's words, the Moon Goddess remained silent, but simply chose to slowly raise her hand.
Unlike the dazzling display of Dongjun's actions in the past.
The cold moon shone with a clear, gentle light, its radiance not particularly dazzling.
The silvery-white light was extremely gentle. As the Moon Goddess waved her arm, it flowed slowly. With a casual flick of her finger, it instantly transformed into a long river, surging towards Xu Qing.
The Milky Way falls from the ninth heaven!
A long, silvery-white river surged forth, intending to engulf Xu Qing.
A vast power surged from Xu Qing's body.
boom!
The Milky Way suddenly shattered.
Chapter 240 The Mohists Enter the Game with the Desire to Go to Qin
The vast energy condensed into an unparalleled force, splitting the Milky Way in an instant. The silver waves shattered like broken jade, and the remaining power, carrying an overwhelming sense of oppression, spread towards the Moon Goddess.
The momentum seemed intent on dragging this person, who held a divine position, down to the mortal realm and reducing him to the dust of the mundane world.
The moon goddess remained as silent as an ancient pool, only her palm gently turning.
The shattered Milky Way suddenly reversed direction, and many stars reassembled, transforming into a surging silver tide; the bright moon hanging behind her head also silently dispersed, its clear light merging into the silver tide.
In an instant, a dragon's roar resounded, and a mighty dragon emerged from the void. With its scales and claws flying, it swept up all of Xu Qing's scattered energy and assimilated and dissolved it with a strange method.
If it were an ordinary person, they would surely be at a disadvantage when faced with the Moon Goddess's unpredictable methods.
Unfortunately, Xu Qing has long since become a numerical monster.
Compared to his past preference for using skill to overcome clumsiness and defeating enemies with technique, he now believes more in the overwhelming power that comes with absolute strength.
An even more powerful surge of energy erupted from his body, and as his clothes fluttered, the Spring and Autumn Sword was already in his palm.
He did not activate the true meaning of "time" contained within the sword, but only regarded this fourth-tier sword as a pure weapon. Even without sharpness as its core, the strength of its material and the sharpness of its blade were far beyond the reach of ordinary weapons.
A flash of sword light, like silver lightning slicing through the long night.
The silver-white dragon, formed from the Milky Way and the bright moon, was cleaved in two by a single sword strike before it could even roar. Its body disintegrated into a sky full of clear light, dissipating into the void.
Xu Qing moved like an arrow, leaping out instantly with the momentum of the sword light, wielding his sword and rushing straight at the Moon Goddess. His sword strike was fierce and unparalleled, carrying a terrifying aura.
The Moon Goddess retreated swiftly, and with a flick of her palm, several silver-white streams of light intertwined to form a net, layer upon layer, enveloping Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's sword momentum continued unabated, his wrist flicking out several condensed, almost tangible sword lights. With a series of "swoosh" sounds, all of the Moon Goddess's defensive measures were shattered, and the sword lights continued their momentum, heading straight for her.
Finally, just as the sword tip was about to touch her body, a ripple appeared on the Moon Goddess's usually calm face.
Its form instantly became blurry.
The sword light sliced their bodies into several pieces, but in the next instant, they all vanished like smoke.
Flowers in a mirror, the moon in the water.
It is something that can be seen, but is difficult to touch.
Within the Yin-Yang School, in terms of combat power, Dongjun's combat power is absolutely superior to that of Yueshen. She is the radiant sun above the nine heavens, dazzling and powerful, capable of creating a magnificent momentum with every gesture.
The moon goddess, however, is different.
Her combat power may not be as strong as Dongjun's, but as Mingyue, she is definitely not just a mere decoration.
In terms of being unpredictable and mysterious, she even surpasses Dongjun.
At this moment, facing Xu Qing's terrifying sword moves, she transformed her body from solid to ethereal in order to evade.
This is certainly not true etherealization.
It is a special kind of "escape technique", and it also seems to combine some illusion techniques.
Looking at the broken pieces of cotton, Xu Qing seemed to be deep in thought.
Then, he looked into the void ahead and said, "Both are 'Souls Wandering in the Dragon', but yours is far inferior to Dongjun's."
This is a provocation tactic.
In the original work, judging from the Moon Goddess's attitude towards the Eastern Lord, it can be seen that the two, while not exactly enemies, seemed to be in a competitive relationship.
Logically speaking, deliberately mentioning Dongjun and belittling Yueshen should have angered Yueshen.
Unexpectedly, the moon goddess did not appear, but instead fled far away.
"Since you know what's good for you, I'll let you go this time." Xu Qing sheathed his sword and stood still, not giving chase.
Encountering the Moon Goddess was unexpected. If she had insisted on fighting to the death, he wouldn't have minded giving the Yin-Yang School a painful lesson; however, the Moon Goddess decisively retreated when she saw the situation was unfavorable, saving him a lot of trouble. In Xu Qing's view, chasing after an opponent so skilled in escape techniques was far too time-consuming and not worth the effort.
Although Jingni did not recognize the Moon Goddess, she sensed from the intensity of their previous exchange that the opponent was no ordinary person. If such a powerful figure was determined to escape, it would indeed be difficult to catch up. Therefore, she had no objection to Xu Qing's decision.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were relieved. The image of Xu Qing breaking through all laws with a single sword and forcing back the Moon Goddess had already been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
The Moon Goddess, already a top expert of the Yin-Yang School, fled in disarray before Xu Qing, which is enough to show Xu Qing's strength. Even if Donghuang Taiyi himself came, he would still be able to fight him.
With such a powerful protector, they naturally have nothing to worry about anymore.
This protection intensified the sisters' sense of submission.
After calming Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai down, Xu Qing turned to Jing Ni, a smile playing on his lips: "Interested in coming with me to the Qin Kingdom?"
This is the response to Jing Ni's previous question.
Since transmigrating here, Xu Qing has wandered through this chaotic world for many years, his footprints covering various states. He has passed through the Qin state several times, but he has never truly set foot in Xianyang, where the winds of change converge, nor has he ever had any dealings with Ying Zheng.
However, his entanglement with the Qin state has never ceased over the years. The Yin-Yang School, the Luo Wang, and other forces entrenched in the Qin state, along with their experts, have clashed with him several times.
Knowing full well that Xianyang was a den of dragons and tigers, teeming with experts and fraught with danger, Xu Qing still chose to step into it. This confidence stemmed from his absolute self-assurance in his own abilities.
If the Yin-Yang School and the Net are well-behaved, that's fine. But if they dare to provoke us, Xu Qing wouldn't mind running into them.
……
With the Qin state's conquest of Zhao, Ying Zheng was finally able to vent the humiliation he had accumulated over the years.
The cold treatment and bullying he suffered as a hostage in the State of Zhao during his youth haunted him like a leech for half his life.
With the fall of the Zhao state, he did not hesitate to leave Xianyang and travel to Handan, just to witness this moment of revenge.
Unfortunately, fate was unkind. Before the fall of Handan, the State of Zhao was already in turmoil, and Guo Kai and the King of Zhao both died. He never even had the chance to show off his power and avenge his humiliation in person, leaving this "revenge" with a sense of regret.
But seeing the former territory of Zhao fall entirely into the Qin territory, and realizing another major step forward in his ambition to unify the world, Ying Zheng's joy ultimately outweighed his regret.
Meanwhile, in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, in a secluded courtyard.
Yan Dan met Donghuang Taiyi again.
It was Donghuang Taiyi who took the initiative to come again. As soon as they met, his deep and mysterious voice rang out in the courtyard: "You should leave the Qin Kingdom."
Yan Dan's stay in Xianyang made it convenient for Donghuang Taiyi to contact him at any time; however, it was related to the Yin-Yang School's larger scheme, and the identity of the Crown Prince of Yan could only play its greatest role in Yan.
He must return to the State of Yan to become the key to changing the course of the world.
“I have contacted the Mohists.” Yan Dan said calmly, slowly revealing his plan. “The Zhao state has been destroyed, and the Qin state’s next target is the Yan state. I should indeed go back. The Mohists will help me escape Xianyang.”
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi did not say anything more.
This was less a plan by Yan Dan and more a consensus reached between the two long ago.
Before that life-or-death calamity, Yan Dan had a deep connection with the Mohist school and was loyal to it. However, life is unpredictable, and an unexpected event forced him to rely on the Yin-Yang School to survive. Even if he wanted to regain his "human" body, he would have to rely on the secret techniques of Donghuang Taiyi.
In the face of life and death, the so-called friendship among the Mohists is nothing but fleeting smoke.
Yan Dan's temperament had already been quietly changed in the face of adversity, and his connection with the Yin-Yang School had become increasingly close.
In order to survive, he was even willing to abandon the Mohist school without hesitation.
In his eyes, the Mohists were ultimately just peasants, commoners, how could they be compared to him, a descendant of the Ji family and the crown prince of Yan? The nobility of the Ji bloodline was far beyond that of any other king in the world.
Donghuang Taiyi and Yan Dan whispered for a while, and Donghuang Taiyi gave him several items and added several secret spells to him.
These secret techniques and artifacts were all designed to add a layer of "disguise" to Yan Dan, making him more like a real living person.
He was resurrected from the dead, his body already transformed into a corpse demon by Donghuang Taiyi, his soul forcibly imprisoned within this long-frozen body. Even though Donghuang Taiyi arrived in time, he couldn't change the fact that his body had been lying dormant for several days and was already dead. The fact that he can maintain a supple and non-stiff body now is entirely due to the secret techniques and elixirs of the Yin-Yang School.
But this is not enough.
Six-Fingered Black Knight is meticulous and has been a master of the martial arts world for decades, with a sharp eye for talent.
When Yan Dan returns to his country, he will inevitably have to deal with this leader of the Mohist school. If he does not make thorough preparations, he will inevitably see through his scheme.
Therefore, Donghuang Taiyi must add another layer of insurance to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After doing all this, Donghuang Taiyi transformed into a black shadow and left silently.
Several more days passed.
A mysterious figure dressed in a black cloak infiltrated Xianyang City.
He had six fingers on his left hand, and his movements were as stealthy as a ghost, with each step taken with extreme caution.
Xianyang was the capital of the Qin state, a place like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. The Taoists and the Yin-Yang School both occupied it, and the Gongshu family, the Mohists' mortal enemies, even surrendered to the Qin state. In addition, there was the "Luo Wang" assassin organization, whose tentacles reached all over the world and which hid in the shadows. If one was not careful, he would be doomed.
Even though he set off immediately after receiving Yan Dan's letter, he still dared not be careless in the slightest when he arrived in Xianyang.
Carefully avoiding the eyes and ears of the city, he finally succeeded in sneaking into the mansion where Yan Dan lived.
Fortunately, Ying Zheng never valued Yan Dan.
