Chapter 66: The Corpse's Origin Appears

  Tang Hao didn't know what had happened either, nor did he know who the beautiful woman in front of him was or what his relationship with Qin Shi Huang in the bronze coffin was. However, judging from the woman's magic, she must also be a member of this underground palace.

  "How dare you not answer when I ask you a question! You see me but do not kneel, do you want to die?" The woman's face showed a hint of anger.

  Tang Hao finally understood that this woman was probably a concubine who had been buried alive and was now possessed by the spirit of Qin Shi Huang.

  Tang Hao didn't say a word, retreated several steps and prepared for battle. But Aike and Guo Kuang were different, they seemed to be attracted by the woman's aura, their eyes dull and walked towards the beautiful woman.

  The beautiful woman seemed to have also discovered their abnormality, and suddenly, as if she had understood something, she scolded the three of them, saying: "You actually have my corpse poison on your bodies, you must be the ones who took away my divine stone!"

  Tang Hao was shocked in his heart, it seemed that these two people couldn't be saved, he had to think of a way to retreat.

  "Ai Ke replied honestly: 'It wasn't us, it was a foreign female lawyer who took it away. We wanted to stop her, but our abilities were limited, and we could only watch as they left.'"

  "Foreign?" The beautiful woman murmured, "But perhaps from the Di or Xiongnu."

  Ai Ke and Guo Kuang seemed to not understand the beautiful woman's question, and did not respond. Tang Huang had no choice but to continue, "The Quanrong and Xiongnu have been gone for over a thousand years."

  A beautiful woman looked puzzled and asked, "You two are dressed so strangely, but aren't you subjects of the great Qin?"

  Tang Hao was speechless for a moment, but his defense didn't slacken as he said, "The Qin Dynasty has been extinct for over two thousand years."

  The beautiful woman's hand trembled slightly, "It's been destroyed, after all, it's been destroyed." The beautiful woman looked at Tang Hao again and asked: "How many hundreds of years has the Great Qin legacy continued?"

  Tang Hao shook his head and said frankly: "It's just a few decades!"

  The beautiful woman couldn't accept reality, slumped on the ground, muttering: "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

  The beautiful woman quickly stood up and said sternly, "You deceived me. My Great Qin has a very perfect law system. Fusu is not a dissolute person either. How can you say that the country will perish just because it will perish?"

  Tang Hu shook his head. One of the reasons for the fall of the Qin Dynasty was that its laws were too harsh, but Tang Hu didn't understand politics very well either, so he simply said: "The one who succeeded your throne wasn't Fusu, but Huhai."

  "Huhai! It's actually Huhai. How is this possible? I clearly appointed Fusu." The beautiful woman slammed her palm on the stone table.

  Tang Hao saw a beautiful woman who seemed to have lost her rationality and thought of quietly leaving, but unexpectedly was discovered by her, "Where are you going!"

  Tang Hao secretly cursed his bad luck and said: "Two of my friends have been poisoned by your corpse poison, I want to go find an antidote."

  A beautiful woman coldly said: "No need!" After finishing, her long sleeve waved and the corpse poison automatically flew out of the two people's bodies.

  The two instantly regained their senses. Aike shuddered and said: "I actually have an interest in Zhong sister, how disgusting."

  Tang Hao's face suddenly turned green, "Am I disgusting?"

  "I mean I'm nauseated."

  A beautiful woman wouldn't waste her time joking with them, coldly saying: "Now you'd better tell me carefully why it was Hu Hai who succeeded to the throne?"

  Tang Huo found a turning point and continued: "Zhao Gao and Li Si colluded to alter the imperial edict, promoting Hu Hai as emperor, while Fu Su's whereabouts were unknown. Some said he was killed by Hu Hai, others that he escaped overseas, but in any case, there was no further news. After Hu Hai ascended to the throne, many people did not submit to him and opposed him, all of whom were incited by Zhao Gao and then killed, including your ten princesses, whose corpses were dismembered into seven segments in the burial pit on the east side."

  Aiko and Guo Kuang were stunned, they didn't know why Zhong Ying, a cultivator from the Kunlun star domain, knew so much about things on Earth.

  The beautiful woman's hands were shaking slightly, her eyes had turned red. Tang Hao also stopped and saw the situation. The beautiful woman took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Then how did the Great Qin perish?"

  Tang Huang saw the beautiful woman's emotions were very unstable, and didn't know whether to continue speaking or not. The beautiful woman suddenly shouted: "Speak! Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"

  Tang Hao swallowed his saliva and continued: "After Hu Hai ascended to the throne, Zhao Gao held great power, Li Si tasted the bitter fruit of his own actions, and was eventually killed by Zhao Gao! Zhao Gao began to monopolize state affairs, isolating Hu Hai, even using the 'pointing a deer as a horse' tactic to eliminate dissenters. The country's punishments were severe, labor services were heavy, and many able officials in the court lost their positions. Then Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the first rebellion, and the whole world rose up against them. Finally, Zi Ying surrendered Xianyang to Liu Bang, marking the downfall of the Qin Dynasty."

  A beautiful woman's face revealed a wry smile, "Twice born and twice dead! The arrogant monarch boasted of his great achievements that no one could match, calling himself the First Emperor. He thought that his descendants would reign for two generations, three generations... all the way to ten thousand generations, but unexpectedly, he died in the second generation!"

  Guo Kuang walked over to Tang Huang's side, pulled on his hand and asked: "Was Qin Shi Huang a woman?"

  Tang Hao glanced at Guo Kuang and whispered: "Your poison has taken effect, let's hurry up and leave while he is still talking to himself!"

  Ai Ke nodded and was about to head towards the main hall.

  "You're no longer of any use! You can go keep the widows' daughters company now!" The beautiful woman said coldly, looking over at Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao secretly thought it was bad, and indeed, accompanying a lord is like accompanying a tiger. They were just chatting happily, now they're going to die.

  Tang Hao and others immediately formed a defensive formation, saying: "Your daughters are too old, I'm not interested!"

  The beautiful woman sneered and directly used her physical body to attack Tang Hao, perhaps she knew that using corpse energy would have no effect on him.

  The incarnation of Qin Shi Huang was indeed a foundation-building cultivator, but the beautiful woman was after all a mortal with a physical body. Tang Hao showed no fear as he grasped her jade arm and then countered to subdue the beautiful woman.

  "Hurry, seal her away, or we'll all be trapped!" Tang Hao hastily called out. Ai Ke and the others were just about to take out the corresponding talismans when the beautiful woman coldly laughed and said, "Think you can seal me away? It's not that easy." After speaking, the beautiful woman's body emitted a surge of black energy, which eventually condensed into a cloud of black mist outside. The mist then split in two and entered Guo Kuang and Ai Ke's bodies.

  The strength difference was too great, and the two were helpless. They could only let the dark mist invade, and as the dark mist fully entered their bodies, their expressions instantly changed from terror to coldness.

  "This woman is actually a Water Spirit Root, just like me. She's much more useful than a corpse without spiritual power." Aike said in a rough and wild tone, while also twisting his wrist.

  "How is it? Are you going to seal me?" Guo Kuang also said to Tang Huang.

  Tang Hao had seen possession scenes on TV before, but now that he was actually faced with it, he didn't know what to do. Although Tang Hao could leave calmly, since he had promised to protect them, he wouldn't abandon his promise unless absolutely necessary.

  Tang Hao drew out his treasured sword, aiming at the beautiful female corpse's neck, saying: "It can be seen that you really like her. Although she is now just a corpse, you also cannot bear to let her suffer harm, right?"

  "Ai Ke burst into rage: 'If you dare to touch a single hair on her head, I will make sure you die without a complete corpse.'"

  Tang Hao sneered: "It's simple, let us go, otherwise I won't be lenient."

  Aika smiled eerily, and suddenly the ground beneath Tang Hao's feet turned into a swamp. It was actually a combination of Aika and Guo Kuang's spiritual techniques. If it were just the two of them using this technique, Tang Hao could have easily escaped with ease. However, the hard drive and CPU in their bodies belonged to Qin Shi Huang, and Tang Hao felt a suction force pulling him into the swamp.

  Tang Hao secretly called out "not good", it seems that his own combat experience is still far from enough. However, Tang Hao did not lose his rationality and immediately used the Shadow Clone Technique to replace himself with a clone in his original position. Then, using the clone as a pivot point, he jumped out of the range of the spiritual technique. At the same time, he immediately dispelled the clone to prevent the loss of spiritual energy after the clone's death.

  Ai Ke's expression changed slightly, "Shadow clone? What is your relationship with Xu Fu?"

  Tang Hao let out a breath and said, "What's Xu Fu? Now even those who watch anime know what a Shadow Clone is."

  Now the beautiful woman has returned to Ai Ke's hands, Ai Ke coldly said: "I'll see what other tricks you have." After finishing, countless black-clad guards surrounded the Imperial Garden, and with a single order from Qin Shi Huang, Tang Huo would be pierced by ten thousand arrows and die.

  Tang Hao was shocked in his heart, it seemed that there was only one way, which was to take advantage of Qin Shi Huang's unpreparedness and run to Ai Ke's side, strip off the beautiful woman's clothes, and then merge with her into one body. In this way, even if Qin Shi Huang didn't want to let him go, he wouldn't dare to do anything to himself.

  But this way, it's very troublesome, to say nothing of exposing one's identity, swallowing a mortal will not only lower one's cultivation level but also affect the speed of future cultivation.

  Just as Tang Hao was still hesitating, Aike and Guo Kuang's bodies emitted a black aura that seemed to be out of control, while the surrounding armored soldiers simultaneously pointed their arrowheads at them.

  However, the two quickly calmed down, and the arrows of the Jia soldiers were quickly withdrawn. Ai Ke smiled wryly: "I can't kill you, what kind of person are you?"

  At the same time, in a majestic palace in the realm of gods and demons, a woman in black suddenly opened her eyes. Her figure was extremely perfect, like the Nine Heavens Xuan Nü, with a veil covering her head, making it impossible to see her appearance. With every move, only a radiant glow could be seen, if not for the fact that there were some black colors mixed in the glow, and her cold and elegant attire, no one would have thought she was from the realm of gods and demons.

  "It's just another cycle." The masked woman seemed to be smiling bitterly.

  "Someone come!" The masked woman shouted towards the outside.

  A woman in a black skirt walked in, this woman was not as beautiful as Ning Yan, but her whole body emitted a magical aura, delicate facial features, exquisite face, if it wasn't for the pair of black twelve-winged wings on her back, no one would have thought she was a witch.

  "What is it, Your Imperial Majesty?" The black-winged woman said respectfully.

  "Any news about Ning Yan yet?" the masked woman asked.

  The enchanting and respectful reply was: "Since the Holy Maiden went to find the Holy Emperor, there has been no news, but the Holy Maiden's life lantern is intact, so nothing major should have happened."

  The masked woman sighed and said: "Forget it, since she doesn't want to come back, let her play for a while longer. With her cultivation experience, there shouldn't be any danger, you can go down now."

  The charming and respectful figure went underground, the veiled woman sighed and began to meditate with her eyes closed.
