Zuan finally came to his senses: "What decision should we make?"
"Help me break the seal. Only I can help you deal with Zhang Han." Mi Li's voice carried a hint of disdain.
"Oh~" Zuan finally realized, "You just guided me to remove that elusive lotus so that the undead legion could escape and distract Zhang Han, and then take the opportunity to break your own seal, right?"
"What's wrong with that? Making use of everything that can be used is the mark of a leader," Mi Li said calmly.
"Since you're so powerful, why don't you just break the seal yourself and deal with Zhang Han? Why go through all this trouble?" Zu An couldn't help but complain.
"Nonsense! This seal was set up by Ying Zheng with the full strength of the nation; it's not so easy to break."
Anger from Mi Li +233!
"But I don't know if what you just said is true or false, and from your description, you should be even more terrifying than Zhang Han. In my impression, those who need to be suppressed with seals are all extremely wicked and evil people. If we save you, wouldn't we be even more doomed?" Although Zu An said this, he was already 80% convinced in his heart.
After all, what the other party said almost perfectly matched the history he knew.
Mi Li snorted coldly: "The pool beneath contains the remains of 200,000 innocent Qin soldiers who were massacred. Do you think they were heinous villains?"
Zuan was speechless for a moment. Indeed, those were 200,000 innocent souls.
Mi Li continued, "Besides, you have no choice. Once Zhang Han frees his hand, this woman will surely die."
Chu Chuyan and Qiao Xueying were initially puzzled by Zu An's self-talk, but when a mysterious woman's voice suddenly rang in their ears, they were even more startled.
"Who, who's speaking?" Qiao Xueying looked around warily.
Chu Chuyan's expression changed slightly, but she vaguely felt that the voice was somewhat familiar; she seemed to have heard it when she was half-conscious.
"Don't look, you can't see her. She should be considered the female owner of this ancient tomb," Zu An explained after thinking for a moment.
“The owner of the tomb…” Qiao Xueying’s expression changed. Just now, the general guarding the tomb was so powerful that it made people despair. How strong must the owner of this tomb be?
"Azu, don't agree to anything she asks for my sake. Anyway, there's no point in me living like this. You should leave here with Xue'er." Chu Chuyan was incredibly clever. In just a few words, she deduced that the mysterious woman was probably using her to blackmail Zu An.
At the same time, she knew that her words probably wouldn't do any good to Zu An, since she had already said it countless times. So she immediately looked at Qiao Xueying and added, "Xue'er, if you're going to think about how good I've been to you all these years, take Zu An away quickly, or it will be too late once that black-armored general has a free hand!"
Qiao Xueying hesitated. Emotionally, she was reluctant to abandon Chu Chuyan; but reason told her that there was no point in staying here, since they couldn't even break free from the bonds binding Chu Chuyan.
"Hurry up and leave!" Chu Chuyan urged anxiously.
Qiao Xueying bit her lip, just as she was deciding to respect her mistress's wishes and take Zu'an away, the mysterious woman's voice rang out again: "The reason you feel that life is meaningless is because you used forbidden techniques, which caused all your meridians to break and made you a cripple. I have a way to restore you to your original state, and even make your cultivation level a whole realm higher than before."
Chu Chuyan was stunned. She had been a cultivation genius since childhood, and the temptation of returning to normal was immense. However, she still refused: "No need, Xue'er, take Azu away quickly."
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Do you really have a way to restore her to her original state?"
“Of course!” Mi Li’s voice was full of pride.
"What method?" Zu'an pressed.
"Are you an idiot? How could I possibly tell you now?" Mi Li retorted rudely.
“Alright, I agree to your conditions. I will help you break the seal, and you will help me save her,” Zu An said in a deep voice. Now that things had come to this, he decided to take a gamble.
Chu Chuyan immediately became anxious: "Grandpa, don't be impulsive! Xue'er, what are you doing? Why haven't you taken him away yet?"
Qiao Xueying shook her head: "Miss, although I have never liked him, I have to admit that he is very responsible this time. Since we have the opportunity to completely heal your injuries, what is a little risk? We might as well die together."
She added to herself, "Anyway, I don't want to live anymore. As for that guy Zuan, he's just annoying to be alive. It's better for the world to be rid of one more menace if he dies. Humph!"
Seeing the two men's resolute tone, Chu Chuyan knew she couldn't persuade them. Her eyes reddened slightly, but she was always aloof and couldn't find the words of thanks to express her gratitude.
"How exactly can I break the seal for you? Do I need to remove something?" Zuan asked quickly.
“It’s not that simple,” Mi Li’s voice flashed with a cold laugh. “Back then, Ying Zheng set up this Soul-Suppressing Seal to seal me away, so that I would never be reincarnated. Zhang Han, because he was the supervisor of the tomb, knew the power of this formation, so he and Xiang Yu, with the help of the formation, combined with the Illusory Lotus of No Trace, created another pseudo-Soul-Suppressing Seal, which is how they suppressed those 200,000 dead souls.”
“The fake Soul-Suppressing Seal is not real after all, so when you removed the Illusionary Lotus, you broke the seal to some extent. But the formation that I used to seal myself is different. To break this seal, you must break the Human Seal, Earth Seal, and Heaven Seal of the Soul-Suppressing Seal in succession.”
Zuan clicked his tongue in amazement: "You were sealed by Heaven, Earth, and Man together. You really are miserable. After all, you were husband and wife. What grudge could you possibly have?"
"Shut up, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak." Mi Li's tone was not good, obviously the other person's words had stirred up some bad memories for her.
Anger from Mi Li +250!
"Do you still want my help if you don't speak?" Zu'an snorted. This attitude when asking for help was infuriating. "What are these seals for, and how do we unlock them?"
Mi Li suddenly fell silent, and after a long while she spoke, her tone somewhat embarrassed: "I... don't know."
Zuan: "???"
"Big sister, you don't even know what's sealed or how to break it. Are you kidding me?" Zu An was immediately annoyed.
Mi Li was also somewhat embarrassed and angry: "Nonsense, if you wanted to seal someone, would you let her know how to break the seal?"
Anger from Mi Li +66!
Seeing the pitifully low anger level, Zu An was immediately amused. It seemed that this woman herself was also feeling guilty.
“If I were to deal with an enemy, I would never choose such a troublesome thing as sealing him away; I would just kill him directly. By the way, it’s really strange. Why did Qin Shi Huang go to so much trouble to seal you away? Why didn’t he just kill you and be done with it?” Zu’an couldn’t help but ask.
"Who said he didn't kill him?" Mi Li's eerie voice came from behind.
A cold sweat broke out on Zu'an's back, and his tone instantly became much more polite: "So what's wrong with you now...?"
