Insufficient balance

  After the transmission array was set up, Tang Hao and others entered the underground palace through the transmission array.

  Aike and Guo Kuang were getting anxious, as they both had a time bomb hidden inside them that could explode at any moment. As soon as they entered the underground palace, they rushed towards the North Gate without stopping.

  Tang Hao looked towards the imperial city shrouded in dark energy, feeling that something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. He could only follow behind them, heading towards the North Gate.

  When they were still twenty meters away from the North Gate, just as they were about to climb over the wall, they were suddenly forced back by a rain of arrows coming straight at them from the top of the city wall.

  Tang Hao and the others secretly called out that it was not good, and they hastily retreated to a hundred meters away, then went to investigate the city wall again. They saw that the originally motionless soldier and horse statues' eyes had turned bright red, their eyes staring fixedly at Tang Hao and the others, the bows in their hands drawn taut, ready to fire a thousand arrows if Tang Hao and the others dared to approach again.

  Tang Hao didn't know why these terracotta warriors were moving, but he could guess that a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change must have occurred in the underground palace.

  Tang Hao began to sprout a thought of retreating, but Ai Ke and the others had not yet obtained the antidote, more importantly, the only transmission array was actually at the front gate of the main hall.

  "Zhong jie jie, what should I do? I feel like something has changed within me. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll lose myself." Ai Ke said to Tang Huang.

  Tang Hao looked at Guo Kuang, and saw Guo Kuang's face turning red as he said: "Me too!"

  "Ai Ke also nodded and said: 'I don't know why, but I really want to hug Zhong sister!'"

  Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat as he recalled that vampires in TV dramas usually hugged their prey before suddenly biting their neck. Tang Hao wanted to enter the main hall as soon as possible, but the city wall was heavily guarded, and forcing his way through would be suicidal.

  Tang Hao pulled out the map, which had now become a complete copy. Tang Hao suddenly discovered that there was a secret passage leading directly to the imperial palace in the west of the city.

  Tang Hao had also heard that many emperors, fearing rebellion from those around them, would often build a very secret passage in the imperial palace. In case of any political upheaval, they could use this passage to escape. However, the passage was full of mechanisms and traps, and unless someone turned them off, it wasn't easy to get in from the outside. But now this was the only way out; otherwise, he would be trapped here until he starved to death.

  The three of them nodded in tacit agreement and headed west. Fortunately, the entrance to the secret passage was an old dry well, which stood out starkly in this gloomy underground palace, making it not difficult for Tang Huang and the others to find. However, upon further reflection, they couldn't think of any other way to conceal the entrance.

  Just as the three of them had fallen to the bottom of the well, the bottom of the well suddenly collapsed and sank down. Tang Huang and Ai Ke reacted extremely quickly, leaping sideways into a nearby passageway. Guo Kuang wasn't so lucky, and he crashed downwards along with the ground.

  Since the incident with Qin Si Ruo, Tang Huan no longer easily trusted anyone, but he would still do some trivial things from time to time. Tang Huan also jumped into the pit and inserted his right hand's five fingers tightly into the moving wall, while his left hand grabbed Guo Kuang's left arm.

  "Didn't I tell you to be careful? How could you get caught as soon as you came in? Don't drag us down." Tang Hai said irritably.

  He didn't want to see Guo Ke without a hint of guilt on his face, his complexion was blood red, as if he was still savoring something, and muttered: "Stockings, lace..."

  Tang Hao naturally knew what he was saying, and it was Tang Hao who had deliberately chosen to do so. With the skirt not being very long, Guo Kuang happened to be in that position. His face turned red as he directly threw Guo Kuang upwards, scolding: "Malakai, if you do this again, I'll throw you down directly." Below were all sharp blades, and even if Tang Hao fell down, he would die without a complete corpse.

  When Tang Huan returned to the shore, Ai Ke's face suddenly turned bright red. She walked up to Tang Huan and said weakly: "Zhong jie jie, I don't know why, but as someone with a normal sexual orientation, when I saw that scene just now, I also felt a sudden urge to watch, what's wrong with me?"

  Tang Hao naturally knew that he didn't have such great charm, and it was probably related to the corpse poison. He didn't know what this corpse poison was all about, but it had caused these two people to stick to him.

  "Zhong sister, I can't hold it in anymore, hurry up and find the cyanobacteria, otherwise I'm afraid Guo Kuang and I will lose our rationality and rape you." Ai Ke continued to say, Guo Kuang also nodded.

  Tang Hao felt inexplicable. Didn't Sun Kezhang say that this corpse poison would drive people to attack other living things? How come it looks like this now.

  Tang Hao didn't hesitate, and the three of them continued to head deeper, along the way encountering various mechanisms, arrows, and falling rocks. Fortunately, all three were cultivators and had taken precautions, so none of them suffered serious injuries.

  "Look, it's bright!" Akira exclaimed with a flushed face.

  Tang Hao's eyes lit up, it seemed the end was in sight. He was about to speed up and go over, but found that the walls on both sides were slowly closing in. If this continued, the three of them would be crushed into a meat pie.

  Three people conditionally launched forward, but the passage was too long. Even if Tang Hao used his full speed, he didn't dare say he had a hundred percent guarantee.

  There were still over twenty meters to the exit, and the passage was about to crush the three of them. Tang Hao gritted his teeth, intending to abandon the other two and make a run for it himself, but found that the wall had been blocked by something and had stopped moving.

  Tang Hao turned his head and saw that Guo Kuang was propping himself against the wall with one hand, with spiritual energy circulating on his palm, and he had actually managed to block the wall. However, looking at him still struggling extremely hard, gritting his teeth and saying: "Hurry up and run! You saved my life, I'll consider it as repaying you!"

  Tang Hao's heart warmed up, the selfishness and self-interest in the Xiu Zhen realm was just a common phenomenon, but there were still people with real emotions and righteousness appearing, however Tang Hao wouldn't be sentimental or waste time with him, and ran out together with Ai Ke.

  This is the imperial palace's royal garden, although all the flowers and grass inside have withered. Tang Hao and Ai Ke tacitly used their spiritual power to push a fake mountain into the passageway, blocking it.

  "Hurry up and come out, what are you waiting for!" Tang Hao hastily shouted.

  Guo Kuang nodded, released his hands, and it seemed that the fake mountain couldn't last much longer. Guo Kuang ran to the top of the fake mountain at full speed, while Tang Hao took advantage of the opportunity to grab Guo Kuang's hands and pull him out. At the same time, the fake mountain suddenly shattered, and the passage slowly began to close.

  Finally managed to catch his breath, Tang Hao sat on the ground panting heavily and casually asked: "Are you guys alright?"

  Aike and Guo Kuang didn't say a word, Tang Huang suddenly felt his legs being hugged by Guo Kuang, while Aike stuck to Tang Huang's body, crawling into his arms like an insect.

  Tang Hao slapped the two of them, temporarily slapping them awake. Tang Hao roared: "Are you done yet? I'm also human, and who knows when I'll lose my patience and do something to you."

  "Great! Great!" Guo Kuang exclaimed excitedly, nodding his head.

  Tang Hao glanced at Guo Kuang and said, "I wasn't talking about you."

  Ai Ke covered her chest with both hands and exclaimed: "Zhong Jie is so avant-garde!"

  Tang Hao smiled mysteriously and said, "That's why I told you to be careful."

  Tang Hao and the others were about to head towards the main hall, but they discovered that there was a bamboo forest in the Imperial Garden, which emitted a green glow all over its body, spreading throughout the entire underground palace.

  Tang Hao was overjoyed. This underground palace indeed had treasures everywhere, and there was another wood-attribute Primordial Spirit Treasure, which was an excellent material for refining the Chaotic Magic Flute.

  Tang Hao ran to the edge of the bamboo forest, wanting to dig up a section of roots to cultivate in his own independent space.

  Suddenly a black aura shot towards Tang Hao, and at the same time a sound like rushing water rang out: "Dare to move my things? Don't want to live anymore!"

  Tang Hao naturally felt that this corpse energy was not something he could contend with, but he also wouldn't wait for death. He leapt to the right, dodging the corpse energy's attack.

  Unexpectedly, the corpse energy suddenly changed direction and was able to accurately guide itself. Tang Hao had just landed and hadn't found his footing yet, so he could only watch helplessly as the corpse energy attacked him.

  What surprised everyone was that the corpse energy became gentle as soon as it approached Tang Hao, and it wrapped itself around him in a very intimate manner, as if Tang Hao were its master.

  Aike and Guo Kuang were stunned, they understood why they had been infatuated with Tang Huo. Tang Huo also couldn't accept it, he might be the real master of this corpse poison, to think that this corpse poison had indirectly killed Wang Xuan Shan, but if this corpse poison was really created by Huo Yang, then what kind of person was Huo Yang?

  However, he soon let it go because he couldn't control these corpse auras, but one thing was certain, the creator of this corpse poison must have an extremely close relationship with his past life. Unfortunately, Tang Huang only had fragmented memories of his past lives and could not determine the target.

  "What's going on!" The master of the corpse, Mei Yan, had an unapproachable beauty, and her face revealed a hint of solemnity. "Who are you exactly!" Because from her bones, she felt a kind of intimacy with Tang Huang.
