Upon arriving, they saw a scene of utter devastation. Both the Grand Master and Bai Ling wore strange expressions, and Mozi sensed something was amiss.
He looked at the Grand Master, "How is it, Grand Master?"
The Grand Master frowned. "This battle has failed. We have not been able to negotiate with the Qin Dynasty and obtain the treasure that would make the Confucianists submit."
Upon receiving Mozi's message that the Qin Dynasty was different from before and possessed treasures that could subdue the Confucianists, Mozi devised this plan overnight and appeared here with numerous treasures.
What I thought was a sure thing turned out to be like this.
These so-called treasures were utterly insignificant in the face of Wang Jian.
Upon hearing this, Mozi frowned, his expression quite puzzled. "Combat?"
He didn't recall ever mentioning any war, especially against the Qin Dynasty.
After all, he had witnessed the strength of the Great Qin Dynasty. The princes were all incredibly powerful, each one a monster, and any one of them could easily suppress a region.
But the Qin Dynasty had several such monsters, making it undoubtedly a monster kingdom.
What's the point of fighting against a Qin Dynasty like that? It's practically suicide.
The Grand Master's eyes darkened slightly. "Indeed, I immediately sensed from your intelligence that anything that can subdue the Confucian school must be a priceless treasure. If we could get the Qin Dynasty to give it to us as well, the strength of the Mohist school would surely increase significantly."
"After all, you know how much the Confucianists disliked the Qin Dynasty. The fact that they can do this much shows how precious that thing is."
As he spoke, the magistrate looked regretful.
As a leader, although he had never seen the thing, he was well aware of its value.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Kong Jia, the head of Confucianism, a man who always had lofty ambitions, to go to such lengths.
With a bad feeling, Mozi looked at the Grand Master and asked, "And then?"
Upon hearing this question, the Grand Master's eyes widened. "The power of the Great Qin far exceeds my imagination. That kind of strength is definitely not the Great Qin of the past!"
Even now, recalling Wang Jian's powerful aura still fills him with lingering fear.
In particular, he was well aware of how sturdy the things the Mo family had prepared were; even some so-called supreme weapons could not easily destroy them.
But the fact that Wang Jian was able to achieve such a feat demonstrates just how formidable his strength was.
Mozi was startled, "You've also seen the monsters of Qin?"
I was still thinking about how to explain the power of the Qin Dynasty to the Grand Master, since the Mohists had always held a prejudice against the Qin Dynasty, which was a significant issue.
But seeing the Grand Master's current state, he vaguely guessed what had happened.
He must have witnessed the might of the Qin Dynasty to have such a distraught appearance.
Before the Grand Master could answer, Bai Ling exclaimed in shock, "Did Grandpa Mozi already know this?"
Mozi's gaze darkened slightly as he said, "I used to think the Great Qin was nothing special, just like you. But after seeing the monster from Great Qin that day, I realized that Great Qin was no longer the weak and feeble place it once was."
"We must not provoke the Qin Dynasty lightly now!"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Indeed, you have done very well in this regard. If that old man really wants to make a move, I'm afraid the Mo family will be in grave danger."
Mozi nodded repeatedly, "That's right, if it's a monster from Qin..."
He seemed to realize something was wrong halfway through his sentence, looked up at the Grand Master, and asked in confusion, "Old man?"
He remembered clearly that the monsters he had seen last time were all children, and they were all sons of Ying Zheng, princes of the Qin Dynasty.
They all look quite young, and they're definitely not monsters.
But now Mozi was talking about some kind of monster, which naturally left him somewhat puzzled.
Bai Ling replied, "To be precise, it's General Wang Jian. It's strange, but he seems to be even stronger now than when he was young, as if he has returned to that unstoppable state on the battlefield."
The girl's eyes were wide with shock, and she looked utterly terrified.
Seeing this, Mozi was even more puzzled, "Wang Jian?"
Seeing Mozi's puzzled look, the Grand Master realized that something was wrong and asked again, "The person you saw was not Wang Jian?"
Wang Jian, a veteran general, was already renowned, and Mozi must have known him well, so he certainly wouldn't have mistaken him.
Mozi said with a strange expression, "No, the last time I saw them were three children."
The tycoon's expression shifted slightly. "A child?"
It's understandable that a veteran like Wang Jian possesses such strength, given that he has experienced countless life-or-death battles and accumulated a wealth of experience to reach his current level.
But when it comes to children, the tycoon completely fails to understand.
What kind of fighting ability do some children have? How can they possibly deserve the title of "monster"?
You should know that this title is far above that of a master; even some famous assassins or top cultivators are not worthy of it.
Mozi explained, “They are all princes of the Great Qin Dynasty. They are all younger than each other, but they are all more powerful than each other. The swordsman with the sword is so skilled that even the top swordsmen are like decorations in front of him, and they have no chance to fight back.”
"That guy is known as the Sword Demon. Even I, an old man, am not confident that I can defeat him."
The Grand Master was startled. "Sword Demon?"
He naturally knew this name; it was a name that struck fear into the hearts of the world. But Mozi said he was defeated by a child.
Mozi continued, "Not only that, but there's also the eldest son, Fusu. He used to be a scholar who dabbled in literature, but this time when we met, his physical body was terrifyingly strong; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a monster..."
"And that terrifying evil spirit, which utterly defeated the Twin Shadows and easily killed them, yet it recognized a prince as its master. The prince's strength must have reached an unimaginable level..."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master's expression grew even more solemn. "You mean, besides Wang Jian, what other terrifying monster princes are there?"
Mozi's expression was also very strange. "I never expected that in addition to those three monster princes, another Wang Jian would appear. It's unimaginable how terrifying the strength of the Great Qin has grown."
The magistrate frowned. "If that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Mozi looked at him and said, "Didn't I say that Qin is much stronger than before? I wanted you to make a plan to see how to submit to Qin?"
"After all, Confucianism has already submitted, and if we submit too late, our status will not be high."
The Grand Master was taken aback. "You mean you want the Mohists to submit to the Qin Dynasty?"
Mozi said, "Otherwise what?"
Facing the mighty Qin Dynasty, wouldn't it be suicide to oppose them?
The Grand Master's face was bitter. "I thought it was about getting the Mohists to bring over the powerful things from the Qin Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Mozi was dumbfounded. "This old man still wants to live a few more years..."
