Meeting Emperor Qin
Liu Xuan led the way, and it wasn't far.
The destination is Mount Li, which is also the Mount Li that Zhang Xuezhou is familiar with.
This is the mountain range closest to the ruins of Xianyang City, and also the secret place closest to Chang'an City.
Zhang Xuezhou had known for a long time that the Mount Li palace was abnormal, but he couldn't get in, so he had to put it aside.
I really don't want to see you!
Liu Xuan led the way smoothly. After exchanging the code words, Zhang Xuezhou and his group were welcomed into the Mount Li Palace. The only one who was a bit of a headache was the Holy Mother Wudang.
She wasn't fooled by Zhang Xuezhou's appearance; she recognized him immediately.
"Has the older sister made a fortune in the secret place yet?"
Zhang Xuezhou responded with a smile, showing absolutely no nervousness about meeting the Emperor Qin.
"Don't even mention it! Lu Ya is the poorest person I've ever met. All he's ever done in his life is wield a knife. When he left the knife here, he considered it his entire fortune!"
The Holy Mother Wudang repeatedly complained.
Full of hope, she ran to the Northern Kuru Continent and entered the Dao Lord's secret place, but the Dao Lord's secret place was empty, with nothing but simple food and drink.
The Holy Mother Wudang and regretted intervening in the conflict between Zhang Xuezhou and Daojun.
"Having a knife is a good thing," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I only got two fragments, less than you!"
"I have no use for that thing," said the Holy Mother Wudang, dissatisfied. "This sword is only useful to Lu Ya; it's just scrap metal to anyone else!"
"It's not bad to have some fun!"
Zhang Xuezhou responded casually, and after a few words of arguing, the expression on Holy Mother Wudang's face softened somewhat.
"The Celestial Venerable Lingbao is very pleased with your assistance in helping His Majesty enter the True Self Realm, and has even gifted His Majesty a Zhunti. You will need to take good care of His Majesty in the future!"
Zhang Xuezhou leaned closer to the Holy Mother Wudang and said something. The Holy Mother of Holy Mother Wudang's expression changed, and Liu Xuan's expression also changed slightly.
The Holy Mother Wudang was the tomb keeper of the Great Qin Dynasty, but she was turned against her by Zhang Xuezhou in the blink of an eye.
Although Zhang Xuezhou did not rely on the Holy Mother Wudang to target the Emperor Qin, the Holy Mother Wudang was undoubtedly caught in the middle. Once faced with a choice, she would inevitably be torn between the two and could only maintain a neutral stance.
"Old Mother?"
Liu Xuan let out a low cry, Holy Mother Wudang's face flushed red and then turned pale.
On one hand, there is a familial bond, and on the other hand, there are the actions of the sect. This has indeed put the Holy Mother Wudang position.
She knew without a doubt that Zhang Xuezhou was going to cause trouble this time, and that the trouble would be quite serious, to the point that she would have to intervene.
But Zhang Xuezhou's words made it difficult for her to take sides, and she could no longer assist the Emperor Qin as she had assisted the Daoist.
"Go ahead, he's not a bad person!"
Holy Mother Wudang could only take things one step at a time, and she also took the opportunity to comment on Zhang Xuezhou, which reassured Liu Xuan, who was feeling somewhat nervous.
The large bronze gate that had previously sealed the Yuzhou Ding was opened again, and the bronze chariot began to carry the people forward.
The massive Yuzhou Cauldron still stands in the underground palace as it did yesterday, showing no signs of change whatsoever.
"It's been so long since I cleansed my mind and body beneath the Yuzhou Cauldron!"
Zhang Xuezhou stood at the foot of the Yuzhou Cauldron with practiced ease, a wisp of blue mist falling down, cleansing the unbalanced fortune he Chanyu Junch en.
He smiled at Liu Xuan, whose face was pale, and then pointed to himself.
"I've been here twice, and I wasn't very lucky either time. Given my condition, you should feel more at ease," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"If it weren't for my father wanting to see you, I would rather be killed here than open the imperial tomb!"
Liu Xuan sighed. He was a little nervous, but seeing that Zhang Xuezhou's bad luck required the Yuzhou Cauldron to cleanse it, he relaxed a little.
No matter what, Zhang Xuezhou was just a subject, while Emperor Qin was a true emperor.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou defeated his demon king in the Fortune War, the opponent still had no chance of defeating Emperor Qin. In fact, Liu Xuan felt that he shouldn't have lost back then, but was only Fortune War because Zhu Jiuyin's poison damaged his terracotta warrior shell.
Whether in terms of individual strength or in terms of Fortune Technique and size, Zhang Xuezhou has no chance of winning.
But Liu Xuan felt a tightness in his chest, and he even worried that this tension might suddenly snap.
The complex emotions eventually turned into a somber murmur.
The Qin Dynasty tombs are locked by an array; if the inside is not opened, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, even for Liu Xuan.
He kept chanting and reaching out to draw in magical Law Power. When his right arm transformed into the glazed color of a fired terracotta figurine, Liu Xuan pointed his hand towards the bottom of the Yuzhou Cauldron.
A dull thud sounded, and a rock ten feet high beneath the Yuzhou Cauldron slowly sank, revealing a brightly lit, dimly lit underground palace.
Liu Xuan jumped forward, and Zhang Xuezhou followed without hesitation.
"Don't you dare come in!"
Rong Tianding had just leaped out Holy Mother Wudang swept his hand away, sending him staggering back several steps.
"I'm only helping you out of consideration for our acquaintance. Your cousin can do some things that you can't, and you can't handle the trouble he causes," said the Holy Mother Wudang.
"Just some demons and monsters; at worst, we'll burn them all down!"
Rong Tianding reached out, and the Southern Brightness Fire instantly ignited in his palm.
He fears nothing less than inanimate objects, and killing Liu Xuan was no joke; he genuinely possessed the power to restrain himself.
"There are hundreds of people like me in the Great Han Dynasty, and there may even be thousands or tens of thousands in the future," Rong Tianding said. "He has chosen a dead end that will inevitably be suppressed by the Great Han Dynasty, and he has no chance of turning things around!"
"Cousin, he's already heard you and seen your Fire Technique. You can do it up there too!"
When Zhang Xuezhou's voice came from the underground palace, Rong Tianding snorted at the Holy Mother Wudang and stopped insisting on following her into the imperial mausoleum.
"You little rascal, your temper is getting worse and worse as you watch," said the Holy Mother Wudang, displeased.
"My cousin is being too kind to you. He can conscript tens of thousands of laborers in Maoling. If he wanted to fill Maoling with soil from Mount Li, your place wouldn't be able to withstand the digging," Rong Tianding said.
"I'm just a down-on-his-luck cultivator who gets bullied all the time. It's not worth it for you to argue with me!"
The Holy Mother Wudang gave a reluctant reply.
What she hated most was confronting the imperial court. Once a problem arose, she would escalate it step by step until things became unmanageable.
If she could, the Holy Mother Wudang would very much like world peace, so that everyone could live their lives in peace.
"Sis, are you home? It's me, Pilan. My son, Sichen, misses you!"
A nauseating sound came from outside the underground palace, Holy Mother Wudang felt her face turn pale.
"There's someone outside trying to take advantage of the Spiritual Qi in my underground palace. Don't move, I'll lock her in the secret chamber first!"
Pilan's chatter was no joke; the other party could really keep banging on the door all day long.
The Holy Mother Wudang felt she needed to quickly throw the two bird demons, one large and one small, into the secret chamber to prevent their endless chatter.
She hurried away in a bronze chariot. Rong Tianding glanced into the depths of the underground palace several times. Only when two sword-wielding terracotta warriors stepped out with extremely mechanical steps did he take a step back with a solemn expression.
"Young man, set me ablaze with your Fire Technique!"
One of the terracotta figures emitted a dull, strange sound, and then gestured for Rong Tianding to release the Southern Brightness Fire.
This made Rong Tianding frown slightly.
The Emperor Qin's ruthlessness was undeniable; to test the power of his Fire Technique, Emperor Qin directly deployed terracotta warriors to be tested with their lives.
