Chapter 3616 Meeting the Qin Emperor

Liu Xuan led the way, which was not far.

The destination is Mount Li, which is also the underground palace of 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 underground palace of Lishan was abnormal, but he could not find a way to enter, 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 Lishan Underground Palace. The only one who was a bit of a headache was the Holy Mother of 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 to me!"

The Holy Mother of Wudang repeatedly complained.

Full of hope, she ran to Beiju Luzhou and entered Daojun's secret place, but the secret place was empty, with nothing but simple food and drink.

The Holy Mother of Wudang came to nothing 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 of Wudang, dissatisfied. "This knife is only useful to Lu Ya; it's just scrap metal to anyone else!"

"It wouldn't be bad to have some fun!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded casually, and after a few words of arguing, the expression on Wudang Shengmu's face softened somewhat.

"The Celestial Venerable Lingbao is very satisfied with your actions in helping His Majesty enter the Realm of True Self, and has even gifted His Majesty a precious sword that can slay Zhunti. You will need to take good care of His Majesty in the future!"

Zhang Xuezhou leaned closer to the Holy Mother of Wudang and said something. The Holy Mother of Wudang's expression changed, and Liu Xuan's expression also changed slightly.

The Holy Mother of Wudang was the tomb keeper of the 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 of Wudang to target the Qin Emperor, the Holy Mother of 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, and the Holy Mother of Wudang's face turned pale and then red.

On one hand, there is a familial relationship, and on the other hand, there is the behavior of the sect. This has indeed put the Holy Mother of Wudang in a very difficult position.

She knew without a doubt that Zhang Xuezhou was going to cause trouble this time, and that the trouble would be quite serious, so much so 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 Qin Emperor as she had assisted the Daoist.

"Go ahead, he's not a bad person!"

Even the Holy Mother of 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 a long time since I cleansed my mind and body under 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 had lost after offering sacrifices to the Chanyu Junchen.

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 somewhat nervous, but seeing that Zhang Xuezhou's bad luck required the Yuzhou Cauldron to cleanse it, he relaxed a little. After all, Zhang Xuezhou was just a subject, while the Qin Emperor was a true emperor.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou defeated his demon king in the battle of destiny, the opponent would still have no chance of defeating Qin Huang. In fact, Liu Xuan felt that he should not have lost back then, but was only defeated because he was poisoned by Zhu Jiuyin and his terracotta warrior shell was damaged.

Whether in terms of individual strength or the scale of their skills, Zhang Xuezhou has no chance of winning.

But Liu Xuan felt a tightness in his heart, and he even worried that this string might suddenly snap at any moment.

The complex emotions eventually turned into a somber murmur.

The Qin Dynasty imperial tombs are locked by an array. If the inside is not opened, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, even if Liu Xuan were to enter.

He kept chanting and reaching out to draw in magical 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 sound rang out, and a rock ten feet high beneath the Yuzhou Cauldron slowly sank down, revealing a bright, 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 when Wudang Shengmu swept his hand away, causing him to stagger back several steps.

“I’m only helping you out of acquaintance. Your cousin can do some things that you can’t, and you can’t handle the trouble he causes,” said the Holy Mother of Wudang.

"Just some demons and monsters, we can just burn them all down!"

Rong Tianding reached out, and the Nanming Fire instantly ignited in his palm.

He fears nothing less than inanimate objects, and killing Liu Xuan was no joke; he truly 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 will never have a chance to turn things around!”

"Cousin, he has already heard what you said and seen your fire magic. You can do it up there too!"

When Zhang Xuezhou's voice came from the underground palace, Rong Tianding snorted at the Holy Mother of 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 of 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 Lishan, your place wouldn’t be able to withstand the digging,” Rong Tianding said.

"I'm just a down-on-his-luck cultivator who keeps getting bullied. It's not worth it for you to argue with me!"

The Holy Mother of Wudang reluctantly responded.

What she hated most was confronting the imperial court. Once a problem arose, she would escalate it layer by layer until things became unmanageable.

If she could, the Holy Mother of 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, and the Holy Mother of Wudang felt her face turn pale.

"There's someone outside trying to take advantage of the spiritual energy in my underground palace. Don't move. I'll lock her in the secret room first!"

Pilan's chatter was no joke; the other party could really keep banging on the door all day long.

The Holy Mother of Wudang felt she needed to quickly throw the two bird demons, one large and one small, into the secret chamber to prevent them from making endless noise.

She hurriedly departed in a bronze chariot. Rong Tianding glanced several times into the depths of the underground palace. 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 magic!"

One of the terracotta figures emitted a dull, strange sound and gestured for Rong Tianding to release the Southern Bright Fire.

This made Rong Tianding frown slightly.

The Qin Emperor's ruthlessness was evident; to test the power of his fire magic, he directly put forward terracotta warriors to be tested with their lives.
