Mi Lifeng's eyes narrowed: "Later move?"
Zhang Han slowly said, "Back then, His Majesty initially considered our past friendship and only sealed the Empress away; he didn't kill her..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mi Li interrupted him with a cold laugh: "You talk as if he could kill me!"
Zhang Han replied, "That's right. At first, His Majesty couldn't kill you and could only seal you. But later, His Majesty found something to kill you. However, considering that you had already been sealed, he entrusted the thing to me for safekeeping in case of future needs. I never expected it would actually come in handy."
"I'd like to see what can kill me!" Mi Li sneered, clearly not taking it too seriously.
Zhang Han chuckled sinisterly: "Has Your Majesty ever heard of 'Xiangfei's Red Tears'?"
"Xiangfei's Red Tears?" Mi Li frowned, clearly having no recollection of this.
“Your Majesty naturally has no recollection of this, because it happened after Your Majesty was sealed away,” Zhang Han said, lost in thought. “Once, when the Emperor was on an inspection tour, he encountered a strong wind at the Xiangshan Shrine, making it almost impossible to cross the river. The Emperor asked the High Priest, ‘What kind of goddess is Xiangjun?’ The High Priest replied, ‘It is said that she was the daughter of Yao and the wife of Shun, and she is buried here.’”
"The emperor was very angry with this Xiangjun, thinking that she was deliberately opposing him, so he sent people to cut down all the trees on Xiangshan Mountain."
"Just then, a drop of red water fell from the sky, and the land of Xiangshan turned red almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the soldiers who came into contact with it turned to ashes. On that occasion, most of the guards around the emperor were killed or wounded, and even the emperor himself almost suffered. Afterwards, some people said that it was the wrath of Xiangjun that brought down divine punishment."
The Emperor dispatched the High Priest with a group of cultivators to extract three drops of potent poison from that red mountain, naming it 'Xiangfei's Red Tears.' The Emperor used one drop himself, and entrusted the remaining two drops to me for safekeeping, to prevent you from breaking the seal."
Mi Li snorted: "That sounds very impressive, but I don't believe any poison could be that potent."
Zhang Han sighed deeply, gazing in the direction of the pool: "Back then, in the Battle of Zhangyu, 200,000 Qin soldiers were buried alive. But the Qin army was the most elite force in the world, full of experts. Even if they laid down their weapons, how could they be so easily buried alive?"
A thought struck Mi Li, and she blurted out, "Could it be that you also used this poison back then?"
“Not bad,” Zhang Han nodded, his voice still trembling. “Just one drop, just one drop of ‘Xiangfei Red Tears,’ and two hundred thousand elite Qin soldiers, each with their own unique skills, were wiped out overnight. Two hundred thousand!”
Mi Li's expression suddenly changed. She raised her right hand and noticed a red teardrop pattern on her palm. A thin red line suddenly extended from the lower half of the teardrop, spreading upwards along her arm.
"Get out of here!" she shouted sharply, and an incomparably powerful aura suddenly spread out. Then, a ball of black energy surged down from her shoulder, instantly enveloping the thin thread inside, intending to force it out in one fell swoop.
Having reached her level of cultivation, most poisons no longer have any effect on her.
However, she quickly frowned. Although the red thread was thin, it was incredibly sharp. Her abundant energy dissipated without a trace upon contact with it. She used all her strength, but could only slightly slow down its spread.
“It’s no use. ‘Xiangfei Red Tears’ is a poison of the true gods. Even earth immortals can be poisoned to death. How can you possibly resist it?” Zhang Han’s voice did not contain much joy. Instead, there was a strange sense of melancholy and fear. Clearly, the poison had reminded him of his past, and a mix of emotions, including guilt and remorse, rushed to his heart.
The three people who were watching the show were stunned. They had seen Mi Li make a grand entrance and easily beat Zhang Han into a pulp, but then a shocking reversal occurred.
Zu An pondered that although Mi Li was somewhat fierce, Zhang Han was more terrifying to him, so he found this ending hard to accept and hurriedly said, "Quickly cut off his hand, lest the poison attack his heart!"
Zhang Han snorted coldly: "If 'Xiangfei Red Tears' were so easy to counteract, it wouldn't be a deadly poison that could kill an Earth Immortal. From the moment she was poisoned, the toxicity had already spread throughout her entire body; cutting off her hand wouldn't have helped."
Mi Li turned her head, her phoenix eyes scrutinizing Zu An: "You don't want me to die?"
Zu'an replied, "Why would I want the Empress to die? Putting everything else aside, from an aesthetic point of view, you are more pleasing to the eye than Zhang Han."
Chu Chuyan and Qiao Xueying looked at each other, thinking that this guy was really audacious, daring to flirt with such a powerful female zombie.
In their view, a normal person could not possibly live that long. Mi Li was clearly a zombie like Zhang Han, except that she was much prettier than an ordinary zombie.
Zhang Han was speechless; no one could remain unmoved by being called ugly.
Zhang Han's anger level increased by 444!
"court death!"
Zhang Han transformed into a streak of black smoke and lunged towards Zu An. Although he had lost his hands, the difference in their cultivation levels was so great that even if he had both hands and feet, he could easily kill him, let alone his hands.
Zu An could have used his movement skills to dodge, but when he thought about what would happen to Qiao Xueying and Chu Chuyan behind him if he dodged, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, take the Tai'a sword he had obtained earlier, and go to meet them.
In the distance, Mi Li flicked her left sleeve, and the Tai'a sword in her hand seemed to be summoned, flying out of her hand like lightning and piercing directly into Zhang Han's chest. The powerful impact sent Zhang Han flying backward, finally pinning him to the stone wall in mid-air.
