Zu An frowned. This woman seemed very hostile towards men. Judging from her tone, she was probably deeply hurt by Qin Shi Huang back then, to the point that she hated all men.
"Who flirted with him? Where is the Heavenly Seal? We're going to the third level right now!" Qiao Xueying hurriedly defended herself.
Mi Li's voice rang out again: "To be honest, you really surprised me. You actually broke through the seals of man and earth one after another. Although you look a bit disheveled, you don't seem to have suffered much damage. It's a miracle. I know Ying Zheng's methods. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to pass those two tests."
Zuan knew she was telling the truth. If it weren't for Qiao Xueying's long hair tripping those giant bronze figures in the Seal of Man, plus the indestructible Death Dagger, no matter how high her cultivation level was, she probably wouldn't have been able to defeat those 12 bronze figures with amazing attack and defense and automatic regeneration.
The sealing of the earth was also a matter of chance. If it weren't for his magical flashlight suppressing the terracotta army, his knowledge of digging trenches to avoid arrow rain, and his ability to set up rat holes to deal with cavalry units, and his ability to dodge left and right on the battlefield with the Sunflower Illusion technique, anyone else would have been crushed into dust by the army long ago.
Even so, he almost died, and only survived thanks to Qiao Xueying sacrificing half of her lifespan.
Let alone Shi Kun, even if it were an eighth-rank expert like Chu Zhongtian, they wouldn't be able to get through.
"Since you know we most likely won't make it, why are you sending us on this risk?" Zuan couldn't help but ask.
Mi Li's pleasant yet somewhat eerie laughter echoed from the underground palace: "Letting you try won't hurt me. Even if you fail, I can just wait a few more years for the next batch of destined people to come in. Anyway, I have plenty of time."
Zuan: "..."
Qiao Xueying: "..."
"So you've been using us as guinea pigs?" Zu'an gritted his teeth, thinking about how he had almost lost his life several times before.
“You can choose not to go. I’m not forcing you,” Mi Li replied coldly.
Zu An really wanted to just leave, but remembering that Chu Chuyan was still waiting for him to save her, he had no choice but to hold back: "Okay, I'll go!"
As they spoke, they arrived in front of the Heavenly Seal, and Qiao Xueying hurriedly followed. The two of them stepped onto the magic array where the Heavenly Seal was located.
A flash of white light appeared, and when the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, the two were stunned. They had originally thought that the Heavenly Seal must be more dangerous, and that it must be a den of dragons and tigers inside, but the scene in front of them was really not like that.
There was a small bridge over a flowing stream, wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, and a gentle breeze accompanied by the chirping of birds. In the distance, one could vaguely see men working in the fields, women weaving in the yard, chickens searching for food in the fields, and dogs lazily sunbathing at the village entrance.
"Is this the seal of heaven?" Qiao Xueying's tone was full of uncertainty. The scene in front of her was a completely peaceful mountain village. How could she see any danger at all?
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Don't be fooled by appearances. Maybe everyone in this village is a top expert."
"Top experts?" Qiao Xueying looked at the people in the distance. "I can't tell at all. Although a few of them have fluctuations of Yuan Qi, their cultivation is not even as good as yours. They definitely can't be considered experts."
"What do you mean you can't even compare to me?" Zu An suddenly became excited, only to realize that the two of them had somehow clasped hands again.
Noticing this, the two of them simultaneously withdrew their hands.
"It's just to prevent being teleported to different places." Qiao Xueying's eyes darted around.
“That’s right, that’s what I think too.” Zu’an was also wondering why he kept trying to hold this sharp-tongued little girl’s hand.
To divert her embarrassment, Qiao Xueying hurriedly said, "By the way, I think we can't trust that woman. Since she's been sealed and trapped here, it proves she's a very dangerous person. If we release her, we won't have any means to control her. What if she refuses to treat Miss Chu or turns her back on us? We'll be in danger."
Zuan knew she was referring to Mi Li: "I know that too, but we have no other choice now, unless we are willing to watch Chu Yan be sacrificed with blood."
Qiao Xueying fell silent. The two of them could take the opportunity to escape, but Chu Chuyan would be finished. No matter how you looked at it, she couldn't just sit idly by.
Zuan looked at the village in the distance: "Let's focus on dealing with this Heavenly Seal for now. Judging from the behavior of the previous two seals, we might very well die here."
Qiao Xueying hummed in agreement and secretly became vigilant. Fortunately, the elixir from Zu'an had helped her recover to a considerable extent. Although she hadn't returned to her peak condition, she now had the ability to protect herself.
The two walked to the village entrance, intending to ask a local villager for help, but the dog sunbathing at the village entrance suddenly jumped up and started barking wildly at them.
At first, Zuan thought the other party was some kind of ferocious beast, but after looking at it for a while, it looked exactly like the Chinese rural dog in his memory. It posed no threat whatsoever to the cultivators of this world.
However, its sound quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. Many people, carrying hoes and carrying poles, gathered around warily. The burly man in the lead said in a deep voice, "Who are you people? What are you doing here?"
Zu'an stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "Hello, we just happened to be passing by and got lost. We don't know where this is?"
The burly man frowned: "Judging from your shifty eyes, you're probably a fugitive. Get out of here now, or we'll report you to the authorities!"
Zuan: "..."
What the hell? It's one thing to say I look like a fugitive, but why say I have shifty eyes? Which eye of yours saw that I have shifty eyes?
I'm clearly so handsome and dashing, are you blind?
