Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 170

Upon hearing that the Moon Goddess had been abducted, Zhao Gao, who was in his underground palace, angrily stood up from his seat and loudly rebuked the Grand Master of Fate in front of him.

At this moment, a disciple of the Xi clan rushed in from outside, and upon seeing Zhao Gao's angry expression, nervously said to him:

"Reporting to the Eastern Emperor! Something terrible has happened! A huge fire has broken out outside Xianyang City, possibly heading towards the Qin army's camp!"

If Zhao Gao, who was just there, was like a volcano when he heard that the Moon Goddess had been kidnapped, then when he heard the news about the Qin army camp again, it was like a volcano erupting. He directly struck the chest of the Xi clan disciple in front of him with a palm.

Caught off guard, the disciple was sent flying by the sudden palm strike before he could react. Blood gushed from his mouth, and he died instantly on the ground.

"Idiots! They're all idiots!"

After killing the disciple in front of him, Zhao Gao erupted in fury, shouting loudly. Meanwhile, the Grand Master of Fate, seeing Zhao Gao kill the disciple with a single blow, knelt down in fear before Zhao Gao, pleading for mercy.

"Please forgive me, Lord Donghuang Taiyi!"

Although Zhao Gao desperately wanted to kill Da Siming with a single blow, Da Siming was, after all, his right-hand man, and he needed his help now. His anger gradually subsided, and he sighed helplessly, saying to Da Siming:

"That's enough! That's enough! You may leave now!"

Upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, the Grand Master of Fate gradually relaxed, let out a long sigh, slowly stood up from the ground, and bowed to Zhao Gao, saying:

"I will take my leave first!"

After saying this, the Grand Master of Fate bowed and retreated, leaving Zhao Gao alone in the underground palace, lost in thought.

Seeing the power he had painstakingly built up gradually crumble with the appearance of Luo Chen, ultimately leading to his current miserable state, Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

At the same time, Zhao Gao was a very ambitious politician. Seeing his current strength, he knew he was no match for Luo Chen, but he was unwilling to sit idly by and wait for his demise. He gradually turned his attention to the sorcerers throughout the land.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyu had fought his way out of the encirclement in the battle of Ghost Village, but his body was also seriously injured. He stumbled and walked forward, and finally collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.

The scorching sun directly exposed Xiang Shaoyu's body to its rays. Already very weak, Xiang Shaoyu went into a state of shock after being exposed to the sun for so long, and fainted.

But at that moment, the Grand Master, who was secretly evacuating from Xianyang City, saw a person lying in front of him covered in blood and hurriedly ordered his disciples to go and check on him.

"My lord, this man is still breathing! But judging from where he came from, he must have come from the Ghost Village's stronghold. Should we save him?"

Upon hearing that Xiang Shaoyu was still breathing, the Grand Master hurriedly jumped off his horse and began to carefully examine Xiang Shaoyu.

When he saw the token on Xiang Shaoyu's waist, he squatted down in confusion and gently took the token off Xiang Shaoyu's waist.

"item?"

Upon seeing the character "Xiang" on the token, the Grand Master immediately recognized the person before him as a member of the Xiang clan, but wondered why he had fallen into such a miserable state. He then hurriedly spoke to the person beside him:

"Quickly, get the water and medicine, let's see if we can save him!"

Upon hearing the Grand Master's words, the Mohist disciple hurriedly ran towards the carriage behind him. After saying this, the Grand Master gradually stood up from the ground and tried to look in the direction of the Ghost Village.

But for some reason, a bad feeling suddenly arose in the giant's heart.

At this moment, the Mohist disciple brought over water and medicine to heal Xiang Shaoyu. Feeling the hydration replenishing his body, Xiang Shaoyu closed his eyes and began to drink voraciously, continuing until he had finished all the spring water in the water bag. Only then did he slowly open his eyes and weakly ask the person before him:

"Who...who are you? Why did you save me?"

At this moment, after seeing that Xiang Shaoyu had woken up, the Grand Master hurriedly squatted down and said to Xiang Shaoyu:

"I am the Grand Master of the Mohist School. I wonder if you are a member of the Xiang clan, and whether you escaped from the Ghost Village?"

Upon hearing the man before him call him the Grand Master, Xiang Shaoyu's eyes lit up with excitement. He grabbed the Grand Master's hands and passionately addressed him:

"My name is Xiang Shaoyu, and I am from Ghost Village! All the Mo family brothers in Ghost Village, as well as the members of my Xiang clan, were killed by Qin soldiers!"

At this point, Xiang Shaoyu could no longer contain his emotions and began to weep, angrily shouting to the sky:

"I must avenge my dead brothers and uncles!"

"what"

Chapter 423 Heading to the Mechanical City

Right now, after bringing Xiang Shaoyu into his carriage, the leader hurriedly led a large number of Mohist disciples toward the Ghost Village.

When the leader arrived at the entrance of the ghost village, he saw the corpses scattered all over the ground, and his expression became sorrowful. Tears gradually slid down from the corners of his eyes as he continued to walk forward step by step.

When the disciples of the Mohist school saw their companions, with whom they had always been, brutally murdered, they burst into tears, hurriedly embracing the corpses on the ground and weeping loudly.

When the Grand Master saw that there were even more corpses in the nearby woods, he hurriedly walked over there. After seeing Dong Guo Zhi's body, the Grand Master could no longer suppress his emotions and cried out loudly.

"Xiao Zhi, you've been with me for so many years, I never imagined it would end like this. I'm so sorry!"

As he spoke, tears streamed down the Grand Master's face like raindrops. Upon hearing the Grand Master call out "Dong Guo Zhi," Xiang Shaoyu, who was inside the carriage, quickly jumped off the carriage.

Upon seeing Xiang Liang's corpse lying on the ground, Xiang Shaoyu immediately knelt down and slowly crawled towards the body.

Looking at his unrecognizable Xiang Liang, Xiang Shaoyu broke down in tears and cried out:

"Uncle, please don't abandon your nephew! Uncle!"

""

After giving a simple burial to the corpses of the Mohist disciples and the Xiang clan disciples, the Grand Master was still not completely at peace with the matter. With a sorrowful expression, he spoke to Xiang Shaoyu:

"Shaoyu, what are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing the Grand Master's words, Xiang Shaoyu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head dejectedly, indicating that he had no plans for the future.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Master also felt the urge to recruit him and spoke to Xiang Shaoyu:

"Now that Xiao Zhi is dead, we have not yet avenged them. Right now, my Mo family is in dire need of manpower. If you don't mind, you can temporarily take Xiao Zhi's place, and let us work together to avenge them!"

Upon hearing that the Grand Master had entrusted him with the position of leader of the Mohist school, Xiang Shaoyu was flattered and waved his hands, declining the offer to the Grand Master:

"Master, how can this be? I am absolutely not up to the task of taking on Brother Zhi's position!"

Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, the Grand Master hurriedly addressed him:

"Shaoyu, you can take over this position for now!"

After some explanation, Xiang Shaoyu nodded helplessly and said to the Grand Master:

"Alright! If someone becomes capable of taking on this position in the future, I'm willing to step down to him."

After the Ghost Village incident, the Grand Master took Xiang Shaoyu and headed towards the Mechanized City, as the Mechanized City was the safest place in the Grand Master's heart.

Seven days later, in front of a great mountain, the leader and his companions stopped, their faces filled with melancholy as they looked at the mountain before them.

When Xiang Shaoyu stepped out of the carriage and saw the expressions on the faces of the Grand Master and the others, he was very puzzled. He couldn't understand why the Grand Master and the others were staring blankly at the mountain in front of them, so he asked the Grand Master:

"Great Masters, why do you feel such emotions when you look at this great mountain?"

At this moment, the Grand Master slowly withdrew his gaze and said to Xiang Shaoyu with emotion:

"This mountain is the Mo family's mechanical city, a place I haven't left for many years!"

Upon hearing the Grand Master say that the mountain before them was actually the Mechanized City, Xiang Shaoyu's face showed shock. He stared at the mountain in disbelief, thinking to himself:

"What a massive undertaking this must be! The Mohists are indeed renowned for their mechanical arts; to build a city right here in these mountains shows just how profound their resources are!"

Just as Xiang Shaoyu was thinking about this, a carriage came into view ahead, and the Giant and the others also noticed the carriage in front of them.

However, the faces of the leader and others did not show any panic or vigilance. Instead, they seemed to feel the warmth of meeting old friends.

As they watched, the carriage gradually came to a stop in front of them. The moment the carriage stopped, a short old man with a mechanical arm jumped off the carriage.

Upon seeing the Grand Master before him, Master Ban hurriedly extended his hands and respectfully bowed to him:

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

At this moment, upon seeing Master Ban, the Grand Master hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, laughing heartily as he spoke to Master Ban:

"Master Ban, there's no need for such formalities, please rise!"

At this point, Master Ban chuckled and stood up from the ground. The Grand Master then slowly led Xiang Shaoyu to Master Ban and introduced him:

"This is Xiang Shaoyu, whom I mentioned in the letter."

Upon seeing this, Xiang Shaoyu hurriedly and respectfully addressed Master Ban:

"Xiang Shaoyu pays respects to Master Ban!"

Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Master Ban nodded silently and said approvingly:

"Good lad, not bad, not bad."

But when the master reached this point, his eyes began to fill with sadness, and he said sorrowfully:

"It's just a pity about my little Zhi brother."

After seeing that Master Ban had brought up the matter of the ghost village again, the Grand Master hurriedly said to Master Ban:

"Let's not dwell on the past. Let's go, let Xiang Shaoyu see the mechanical skills of the Mo family!"

Upon hearing the words "mechanical arts," Master Ban seemed to instantly forget his sorrow and excitedly told Xiang Shaoyu:

"Kid, don't be too surprised by the mechanical skills of the Mo family later, especially this mechanical city. It's a masterpiece made by the Mo family!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Shaoyu immediately became interested and began discussing the art of mechanisms with Master Ban. Meanwhile, the Grand Master, seeing this, smiled and beckoned the other Mohist disciples to continue their journey towards the Mechanized City.

Around noon, the group arrived at the back of the mountain. After traversing many winding paths, they gradually came to a very secluded cave entrance.

After seeing this, Master Ban smiled smugly at Xiang Shaoyu, then walked to a very inconspicuous stone and gently grabbed it with his mechanical arm.

Chapter 424 Intimidation and Coercion

As Master Ban gently twisted the stone in his hand, the boulder standing in front of the cave slowly began to rise in front of everyone.

Upon seeing this, Master Ban glanced smugly at the dazed Xiang Shaoyu. Seeing his surprised expression, he was quite pleased and happily said to Xiang Shaoyu:

"Don't just stand there, let's go!"

When Master Ban finished speaking, he swaggered inside, and everyone else hurriedly followed him after seeing that Master Ban had entered.

Immediately afterwards, a straight passage appeared before everyone. Upon seeing the passage, Xiang Shaoyu hurriedly asked Master Ban:

"Master Ban, how...how are we going to get up there! It's so high!"

At this moment, after hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Master Ban simply smiled without saying a word, slowly walked to the side, placed his hand on the wooden handle, and pulled it down forcefully.

"Rumble"

A series of loud bangs echoed as Master Ban pulled down the lever, and a black shadow slowly descended from above the passage.

When the object, resembling a simple little house, appeared before Xiang Shaoyu, he finally understood and eagerly asked Master Ban:

"Master Ban, what is this thing?!"

After hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Master Ban laughed heartily and said to Xiang Shaoyu:

"This is called an elevator, and that's what we used to get up there!"

After saying this, everyone walked into the simple wooden house. Just as everyone entered, the elevator began to slowly rise. Xiang Shaoyu, who was inside, looked around like a child.

"Thump, thump"

With a jolt, the elevator came to a stop. Master Ban, familiar with the route, stepped down from the elevator and walked towards a stone door in front of him.

Only after everyone had completely descended from the elevator did Master Ban warily address them:

"Master, since you have been gone for many years, some of the mechanisms within the Mo family have changed. Please stay behind me to avoid any danger."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Master nodded and followed closely behind Master Ban. Master Ban, seeing this, also slowly began to walk forward.

The group emerged unharmed from the tunnel riddled with traps. Iron Hammer, who was on duty, excitedly ran towards the Giant after seeing that the Giant and the others had returned.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Upon seeing the iron hammer before him, the giant smiled and said to it:

"No need to be polite!"

""

Meanwhile, Zhao Gao, who was recruiting sorcerers, had basically brought all the Yin-Yang masters in the country who were willing to use him into his own camp. As his camp grew stronger step by step, a long-standing plan gradually emerged in Zhao Gao's mind.

At this moment, Zhao Gao sat solemnly on his throne, scanning everyone below. Upon seeing Zhao Gao's gaze, the Yin-Yang School members hurriedly lowered their heads.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gao smiled with satisfaction and addressed the Yin-Yang masters below:

"We may not be as skilled as others in martial arts, but we possess divine power, the kind of power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. Therefore, we cannot be content to remain submerged in this underground darkness. We must reclaim this world and take control of it ourselves!"

When the Yin-Yang masters below heard Zhao Gao's plan, they all showed expressions of shock. They had come here only for the riches, but they never expected that they would end up on this path.

So when everyone heard Zhao Gao's words, they all showed panic on their faces. But the members of the Xi clan were the only ones who did not show any tension. Instead, they looked at their idol, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, with eyes full of admiration.

When Zhao Gao saw the panic on the faces of the Yin-Yang School members who had submitted to him, he did not rush to anger. Instead, he continued to coerce and entice them, saying:

"As long as you stay with us, you can acquire higher levels of magic and formations through your own efforts. And after we overthrow the Qin Dynasty, you will be the heroes along the way, and I will appoint you as guardian elders of the nation. But if you want to betray me, then there is only one path before you, and that is, death!"
