Chapter 3619 Accompanying Verification
"Break free from the cage, and everyone can become a dragon!"

In Zhang Xuezhou's past understanding, the Qin Dynasty would make a comeback and destroy the Han Dynasty.

This view was relatively correct in the past, but it has a contradiction: the Qin Dynasty was so bored that it destroyed itself, and then waited for another dynasty to be established so that it could be overthrown.

If this idea is untenable, then Qin Shi Huang's claim of pursuing accuracy is quite accurate.

"Cousin, these lunatics didn't retaliate. Are they really afraid of Nan Minghuo?"

Rong Tianding looked at Zhang Xuezhou, who walked out of the underground palace normally, and listened to Zhang Xuezhou's incoherent words. He couldn't help but look down at the underground palace in surprise.

“Of course they’re afraid,” Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement. “Our Nanming Fire is no joke. Once it’s ignited, it can burn down a huge area. Everyone who sees it will be afraid!”

"That's good. These lunatics are really unreasonable!"

Rong Tianding breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone who runs out and gets burned alive would be terrified.

Especially the fact that the person being burned requested it, and remained silent until turned to ashes, sent chills down Rong Tianding's spine.

Where is Liu Xuan?

"He'll be out soon!"

The entrance beneath the Yuzhou Cauldron was not closed, and Liu Xuan did not come out. Rong Tianding couldn't help but peek out for a moment.

"What should we do about Liu Xuan?" Rong Tianding asked in a low voice.

"It depends on his father's plans!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about Qin Shi Huang and then about Liu Xuan. He felt that this former emperor was very decisive, but he still had some tenderness in his heart, and was not a heartless person.

He outmaneuvered the Qin Emperor while preserving his dignity, resulting in a peaceful ending for both sides.

As for Qin Huang's future plans, Zhang Xuezhou was uncertain. He had indeed delayed Qin Huang's plans, but Qin Huang's plans were not as meticulous as he had imagined.

Even the most brilliant and ambitious emperors need constant interaction to understand the reality; they cannot play games out of thin air.

Zhang Xuezhou was far inferior to Qin Shi Huang in terms of leadership ability, and he did not possess Qin Shi Huang's great talent and strategy, but his worldview was indeed far broader than that of Qin Shi Huang.

He learned of the many dilemmas Qin Shi Huang faced after unifying the Southern Continent. The unified dynasty, which seemed like a fleeting cloud, was a joke in the eyes of the Celestial Court. Time would make everything Qin Shi Huang had become nothing but flowing water.

The Qin Emperor desired longevity, wanted to defeat the Celestial Court, wanted to break the existing ruling order, and even dreamed of leading the Qin people to a higher dimension after gaining long-term rule, so that his empire could last forever.

The Qin Emperor had many goals to achieve, and the other party was not just talking big, but was actually taking action, even leading many people to obtain 'pseudo-immortality'.

The art of human terracotta warriors can solidify the body, while hibernation allows the divine consciousness to operate with minimal loss, thus enabling it to maintain its existence for a long time.

As long as these terracotta figures do not regain consciousness, they will continue to exist in a state of 'pseudo-immortality' as terracotta figures.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was looking for a chance to survive, Qin Huang was also looking for a chance to achieve his goal.

"Our Southern Bright Fire Technique needs to be promoted as much as possible, especially among Confucian cultivators!"

Zhang Xuezhou spoke with a pointed meaning, and Rong Tianding's eyelids twitched. He knew that Zhang Xuezhou's words were not meant for him, but rather to make the Qin Emperor in the underground palace give up completely.

“The old fogies of Shi Jiao are reluctant to part with the Nanming Fire. We obtained the Nanming Fire technique easily and don’t care about the control techniques of this manipulation school at all. Besides, there’s not much left in Shi Jiao. It’s a good thing to give people the technique to restrain Yin creatures,” Rong Tianding shrugged.

"Confucianism has become the leading school of thought in the Han Dynasty. It is the only school of thought that is respected in the dynasty. There are hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars in the world. Their school also allows the study of miscellaneous skills from other schools of thought. There is no problem at all in practicing the Southern Bright Fire!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, a sigh on his face.

Zhang Xuezhou's words were not surprising, and he had even said them once before. However, they were different when combined with Liu Xuan and Rong Tianding's responses. This allowed others to verify and further strengthen the authenticity of his words. "You have taken away the fortune of my Great Qin. Great Qin cannot withstand the turmoil and will definitely not easily start a war. I only hope that you will keep Fusu by your side and let him witness the struggle between Houtu and Hongjun that you have spoken of!"

The terracotta emperor in the underground palace did not break free of his mortal state and speak personally; instead, Liu Xuan read the words on his behalf.

"I have some flying skills, Liu Xuan might not be able to keep up with me!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced into the depths of the underground palace.

Although Liu Xuan was a witness, the other party was also a stalker, able to provide Qin Shi Huang with information for further judgment.

Despite Zhang Xuezhou's borrowing of fortune, Qin Huang still possessed sufficient confidence.

The two only exchanged techniques; there was no actual combat between them, and Qin Shi Huang did not activate any of his many backup plans.

It seems that the negotiations between the two parties have ended, and Zhang Xuezhou has taken what he needed, but things between them are not over yet.

“I can shed my human form and even attach myself to your magic weapon without affecting your speed,” Liu Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Although I rarely use magic weapons, since you've put it this way, I'll definitely be carrying magic weapons with me from now on!"

Zhang Xuezhou shrugged, indicating that as long as Liu Xuan didn't bother him and was willing to risk his life to follow him, Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind having him around.

To be fair, Zhang Xuezhou really liked this erudite Crown Prince of Qin, and he also needed the other party's assistance with the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle in his residence.

Thank you!

Liu Xuan's deep voice came from afar, followed by the sound of his heavy footsteps.

The sound of his footsteps revealed that Liu Xuan was in a very heavy mood.

For Zhang Xuezhou, borrowing resources was a good thing, but for the party being borrowed, it was not.

Although Zhang Xuezhou mentioned it was a loan, everyone knew that such a loan was never to be returned, and that the Qin Emperor had to bear the consequences of the defeat during the campaign.

Liu Xuanxin was shocked to discover that the invincible Qin Emperor had actually lost. He clearly regretted bringing Zhang Xuezhou to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

There's no turning back once the arrow is released; Liu Xuan will have to bear the consequences even if he doesn't accept them.

Now it depends on whether this consequence is what Qin Huang needs or whether Zhang Xuezhou is exaggerating. If it is the former, Qin Huang's efforts will be worthwhile. If it is the latter, it means that Qin Huang has been deceived and will lose everything, which will inevitably lead to a continuous and irreconcilable struggle.

"Sis, the gate to your house is open!"

As Pilan's chattering voice reached him, Liu Xuan's pace quickened considerably.

"Do you and Sichen still need the secret room?"

The Holy Mother of Wudang, trying to avoid suspicion and disaster, muttered something, and there were also some pushing and shoving sounds.

When Liu Xuan finished reciting the sacrificial inscription and sealed the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, the Holy Mother of Wudang arrived late.

"Pilan just loves to make a fuss, she's driving me crazy. Are you two done talking?"

The Holy Mother of Wudang repeatedly criticized Pilan, while her gaze swept back and forth between Zhang Xuezhou and the others.

Although she kept complaining about Pilan, the Holy Mother of Wudang was also glad to have such a shield, thus saving her from being caught in the middle.

"We've finished talking. I hope I'll have the chance to come here again!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded with a smile, and this time, the Holy Mother of Wudang did not make any more comments.

She had a premonition that Zhang Xuezhou and the others were engaged in some dangerous activities and might not be able to return.
