Zuan curled his lip: "Isn't it normal for me to keep things from you? You're not my wife, you really don't treat yourself like an outsider."
Qiao Xueying: "..."
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +666!
This guy is really... I want to punch him!
Qiao Xueying suppressed her impulse and ignored his words: "How did you know he went to see Wu Guang? And I always feel like you have the ability to foresee the future."
"What 'you, you, me, me, me'? You're not even calling me 'good brother' anymore?" Zu'an said discontentedly. "That's because I'm so clever. You'll know more amazing things about me later."
"Look how smug you are!" Qiao Xueying snorted, but since the other party stood up for her and saved the people of Chenjia Village, she was in a great mood and didn't bother to argue. "But I wonder when the seal will be broken."
"We might need to confirm with the imperial court." Zu An was also a little uneasy when he said this, as he wasn't sure if he could get away with it.
At that moment, Lord Wang on the other side finished faking the scene and used a communication mirror to report their prepared story to the imperial court.
Immediately afterwards, Zuan felt the scenery in front of him distort slightly, and then a familiar feeling of weightlessness came over him. When he came to his senses, the two of them were already in the familiar underground palace.
"How come you don't have a single injury... You broke the Heavenly Seal so easily!" Mi Li's voice, filled with surprise and joy, rang in her ears. Clearly, she hadn't expected them to actually break the three incredibly difficult seals.
Is it easy?
Zuan reviewed the process of breaking the Heavenly Seal. Compared to the previous two levels, it was indeed not difficult. This level did not test cultivation or combat skills, but rather your judgment and... luck.
If he hadn't been kind-hearted and decided to save the people of Chenjia Village, and hadn't known the course of history beforehand and understood that Chen Sheng couldn't die, he would never have been able to break through the fog and find that only chance of survival.
If someone were unaware of this history, or even a different time traveler, no matter how high their cultivation level, entering would absolutely mean certain death.
While he was still in a daze, the sealing array on the ground opened, revealing a dark hole.
Zu An asked in a deep voice, "The three seals have been broken. Can you come out now?"
Mi Li's voice came: "My coffin is on the next level. If you take the sword hanging from the coffin for me, I can come out."
Just as Zu An was about to jump, Qiao Xueying grabbed his hand and said cautiously, "Be careful, it might be a trap."
Zu An nodded: "Why don't you wait for me here? If things don't look good later, go and lure that black-armored general over here and let them fight each other like dogs... uh, no, if something really happens, with her cultivation level, she definitely won't be able to escape either. So, you go straight back to Chu Yan's side, firstly to protect her and buy her some time; secondly, if I haven't returned after an incense stick's time, you can inform that black-armored general about what's going on below."
Qiao Xueying hesitated, "No, I'll go down with you. If anything happens, we can take care of each other."
“No, even if you go down there, you're no match for them. We can't put all our eggs in one basket.” Zuan shook his head.
Qiao Xueying fell silent. She knew she couldn't even beat Zhang Han before, let alone Mi Li inside. Going down would probably just be suicide, so it was better to stay up there and have someone to help her: "Okay, be careful."
Zuan nodded and carefully jumped down to the next level. The space on the next level was not large, and in the very center was a crystal coffin that was shimmering with a faint light.
He was about to walk over when a cold voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Who did you just say you wanted to fight each other like dogs?"
"Ah, you heard everything." Zuan's face flushed; after all, being exposed for talking badly about someone behind their back was quite embarrassing.
Mi Li sighed deeply: "When people get old, their ears are more sensitive than when they were young. I may not be able to hear nice things, but I don't know why, I can always hear bad things."
Zu An quickly regained his composure and replied immediately, "Your Majesty is indeed a peerless master. My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks."
Mi Li: "..."
A soft snort quickly echoed in the space: "Your glib tongue reminds me of Zhao Gao from back then. I don't like it at all."
Now it was Zu'an's turn to be speechless. He never expected that the other party would compare him to Zhao Gao, especially since Zhao Gao was a eunuch!
Thinking of his hidden ailment, he was momentarily bewildered. Damn it, even if he wasn't the reincarnation of the First Emperor, he shouldn't have turned out to be the reincarnation of Zhao Gao.
"Alright, hurry up and take the sword down for me, the one that's hanging in mid-air." Mi Li's voice rang out again. "This sword is the energy source of the Soul-Suppressing Seal. If it were anyone else, they would be pierced through the heart by its sword energy before they even got close to it; but you just broke the Soul-Suppressing Formation and have already gained its approval, so there will be no danger for you to pull out the sword."
"I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me." Hearing her describe the sword as so powerful, Zu An was momentarily intimidated.
"Hmph, what good would it do me to lie to you? I also want to get out as soon as possible. You'd better hurry up. Zhang Han has already suppressed the escaped undead legion and will soon be going back to your wife to perform the blood sacrifice." Mi Li's cold voice rang out.
Thinking of Chu Chuyan lying on the altar, helpless and at the mercy of others, Zu An gritted his teeth and walked towards the crystal coffin.
He noticed nine long ropes made of some unknown metal above the crystal coffin, seemingly wrapped around it from a distance. In the very center of the other nine ropes hung an ancient-looking longsword, its tip pointing directly at the crystal coffin below.
