Under such circumstances, my sister and I fought side by side, and apart from the Moon Goddess, none of the others could contend with us.
When my sisters and I transform into the Double-Pupiled Moon Goddess, what are a mere Moon Goddess worth mentioning!
However, before cultivating the power of the double pupils to a considerable level, the true form of the double pupils should not be easily revealed. Zhu Zhao added at the opportune moment: Otherwise, the burden would be too heavy, potentially damaging the foundation. (Li Li)
298. Sudden Enlightenment of the Death Pact Technique
She didn't want Han Feng to rely too much on the power of the Double Pupil Invitation Moon.
After listening to Zhuzhao's analysis of the current situation of the Yin-Yang School, Han Feng felt confident and then reminded him:
In a critical moment, the two of you can use the Six Paths Immortal Seal to hide within my body, which may allow you to achieve a surprising victory and deliver a heavy blow to the pursuers.
That's only right. Zhu Zhao nodded slightly, having no objection to the suggestion: "But I suggest we avoid it if possible, after all, we've changed too much."
If it escapes, informing "220" Donghuang Taiyi will likely pique its interest.
It might even prompt him to take action himself.
Faced with Zhuzhao's suggestion, Han Feng pondered for a moment.
He nodded slightly to show his agreement.
Then, Zhuzhao comforted Han Feng again, saying in a deep voice, "In the short term, the Yin-Yang School will probably find it difficult to detect our divergence."
"The death pact you inflicted on us is too unpredictable and difficult to fathom. Even the Yin-Yang Master, Donghuang Taiyi, might not be able to discern its secrets."
"There may still be a chance for the situation to turn around."
"Donghuang Taiyi is indeed difficult to predict, so we are safe for now." Although Han Feng murmured this, he was certain in his heart that Donghuang Taiyi could not possibly foresee the mythological level involving the Six Paths of the Underworld.
From this perspective, Zhuzhao and Youying can theoretically still be considered as examples of Yin-Yang theory.
No need to rebel.
However, Han Feng only needed to glance at the obvious changes in the two women to know that the path back was blocked.
Even blind people can sense the dramatic changes in their lives.
If you strongly desire to return...
What awaits them is certainly not a good outcome.
Zhu Zhao and You Ying were well aware of this, so they resolutely chose to betray the Yin Yang School and follow Han Feng closely to prevent others from attacking them and thus avoid bringing disaster upon themselves.
During their journey, the group unexpectedly encountered a caravan of traveling merchants' sons.
"Borrow a carriage," Han Feng suddenly said.
You Ying remained silent, flicking her fingertips. Countless leaves instantly materialized and shot out like a rain of flying knives, instantly eliminating the guards and the people inside the vehicle.
Then, she cast a spell, and emerald green vines burst forth from the soil and grew rapidly.
They wrapped themselves around the corpses and silently dragged them into the depths of the dense forest.
The remaining driver knelt on the ground, his head buried between his hands, trembling and pleading repeatedly.
"No...don't kill me!"
"Please, don't kill me!"
"Want to live? Easy as pie. Just honestly drive for us." Zhu Zhao smiled and approached, then, taking the man by surprise, used a mind-controlling technique to manipulate his mind...
"I will obey your orders!" The driver kowtowed, head bowed in obedience...
Seeing this, Han Feng promptly reminded him: "You need to change your old habits, otherwise you may be discovered by the secret agents of the Yin-Yang School."
Youying snorted coldly and did not respond.
The four boarded the carriage and took their seats. The coachman rose nervously, steered the carriage, and sped off towards the State of Wei.
Take advantage of this rare moment of peace,
Han Feng earnestly requested that Zhu Zhao and You Ying teach him the Qin language and help him study the Qin script and language.
Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.
Han Feng, Zhu Zhao, Yun Ji, and You Ying appeared at the border between Chu and Wei. Han Feng did not rashly step into Wei territory.
It's not because it's impossible to cross the Chu-Wei border in section 2.2.
The truth is that he is now completely ignorant of the Wei language (2.2) and even more unfamiliar with Wei script. Zhuzhao and Youying share the same plight.
This leads to a crucial question:
Unable to understand the Wei language, the two sides had no way to communicate. Hearing the Wei people speak was like listening to a foreign language, let alone gathering information or identifying routes.
Without knowing the Wei script, road signs, city names, and map symbols all become mysteries.
They were like people who were deaf, blind, and mute.
299. Donghuang Taiyi's Wrath
For effective communication to be achieved, the other party must not only be fluent in Wei dialect, but also understand any of the foreign languages and scripts such as Chu dialect, Qin dialect, Qi dialect, or Yue dialect.
However, the probability of this is extremely low.
After all, literacy was a privilege reserved for the elite; those without it had no opportunity to come into contact with writing.
In addition, there are dialect differences and the phenomenon of one word having multiple meanings—
For example, the character “箸”.
In Qin script, it refers to chopsticks.
In Chu script, it symbolizes books.
The conversation between Han Feng, Zhu Zhao, and You Ying was not in their mother tongue.
At first, they communicated in the Chu language, then through telepathic communication using the Six Paths Immortal Seal, and recently they have been trying to communicate in the Qin language, but only in the 29 trivial matters of daily life.
After lingering in the vicinity for a long time,
The four entered a remote border village and built several small wooden houses themselves.
Afterwards, Zhuzhao went out to find someone who was fluent in both the Wei language and script, and also proficient in the Chu language and script. Without understanding the Wei language, the journey to the Wei Kingdom would be fraught with difficulties.
Otherwise, if there is a language barrier,
They might even be arrested as spies of an enemy country, at which point they would have no power to defend themselves.
Three days later,
Zhu Zhao brought back a merchant who was proficient in both Chu language and script and Wei language and script. He manipulated him with a soul-capturing technique, making him teach Han Feng and the others Wei language and script.
Assuming all three have already activated their Purple Mansion Dantian...
His learning and comprehension speed far exceeds that of ordinary people, and his progress can be described as rapid as a thousand miles a day.
The headquarters of the Yin-Yang School in the Qin State.
The Star Palace stands atop the Star-Picking Tower.
As always, Donghuang Taiyi stood quietly on the high place, like a lifelike stone sculpture.
In the center of the hall,
The moon goddess stood respectfully, reporting in detail the information she had just obtained.
"Reporting to the Eastern Emperor, the Shao Siming of Shiyu, whom we were ordered to pursue, has gone missing."
"They may have already betrayed the Yin-Yang School."
“Shao Siming has neither disappeared nor betrayed us.” Donghuang Taiyi said calmly, his expression unchanged. “The two of them are simply no longer the same as before.”
"No longer the same as before?" The Moon Goddess's eyes flickered as she secretly speculated, "Has her physical body been taken away? Or has she been reduced to a puppet?"
Ignoring the Moon Goddess's thoughts, Donghuang Taiyi calmly issued the order:
The new successor to the Lesser Master of Fate—the Five Spirits Mysterious Harmony—has been entrusted to your command.
"Before this matter is carried out, you need to go to a place with the Grand Master of Fate to handle the unfinished business of the former Junior Master of Fate, especially the handling of 'Devouring Prison,' which should still be done according to the old precedent."
The Moon Goddess formed a hand seal, bowed deeply to Donghuang Taiyi and his party, and then slowly withdrew.
Soon after, the Moon Goddess and the Grand Master of Fate stepped out of the Yin-Yang School gate side by side, following the path taken by the former Junior Master of Fate, heading straight for the territory of the Chu Kingdom.
Meanwhile, in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, another scene was quietly unfolding.
Prince Dan of Yan is currently in a foreign land, imprisoned in Xianyang as a hostage for some time. During this time, he encounters a stunningly beautiful woman named Fei Yan. The two sometimes travel together through the city, and sometimes chat about trivial matters unrelated to power.
However, beneath the surface of harmony, both sides harbored their own thoughts and schemes. Crown Prince Dan attempted to uncover Fei Yan's true identity and her real intentions in approaching him; while Fei Yan, through the cultivated closeness, secretly investigated clues within the Yan Kingdom regarding the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations.
In addition, Mohist disciples were lurking in the shadows, closely monitoring Prince Dan of Yan.
In a remote village bordering the states of Chu and Wei, Han Feng, who was focused on studying the language and script of Wei, suddenly realized something and turned to Zhu Zhao beside him to ask, "How did you find me?"
300. A strategy of killing four birds with one stone
"It was because Donghuang Taiyi calculated the location of the Devouring Prison that Youying and I were able to find this place," Zhuzhao replied softly.
"He only deduced the Devouring Prison, not directly targeted me?" Han Feng pondered, then pressed on, "So, you were able to find me because of the existence of the Devouring Prison?"
