Insufficient balance

  Tang Hao and others saw that the blonde girl was not chasing after them, so they stopped with Ai Ke and others to catch their breath.

  This imperial mausoleum doesn't know how it was designed, the mermaid lamp has been burning for so long and there is still oxygen. However, this is no longer Tang Huan's problem, now he should consider what to do next.

  "Xiao Ke, what are your plans?" Tang Hao asked Ai Ke.

  Ai Ke was taken aback, seemingly flustered, and hastily said: "I don't know either, I think we should first find a way out, then surround this place and catch them off guard."

  Guo Kuang shook his head and said, "No way, since they dared to come in, they must have thought of a way out. We can't let them off so easily."

  To be honest, Tang Hao was still a bit curious about the underground imperial city of Qin Huangling. Now that he had finally come in, it would be a pity to leave like this, and besides, there was no way out now. So he said, "Let's go in too. As long as we can think of a way to get the treasure inside first, we have hope to defeat them, and only then do we have a chance to get out."

  Ai Ke finally nodded, Tang Hao took out the map, only half of the east side, the outer city of the entire imperial city has three gates in the east, west and north. The one they just entered was the North Gate, and now Tang Hao and his party had just escaped to the vicinity of the East Gate.

  The south side of the Imperial City is the real imperial palace, where Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum is likely to be located.

  "What treasure is there in here?" The atmosphere in the underground palace was heavy and depressing, so Tang Hao thought he'd say something to lighten it up.

  Ai Ke looked up and glanced at the giant fish corpse above his head, muttering to himself: "The corpses on top are all at the peak of Qi training, so the things inside must be extraordinary too. Maybe it's really something like an elixir of immortality." According to historical records, Qin Shi Huang's men killed a huge fish in the East Sea, could it be the giant fish above his head?

  Tang Hao shook his head and said: "If there really is an elixir of immortality, Qin Shi Huang wouldn't be lying here."

  Three people arrived at the city gate, which was made of adamant. Tang Hao pushed the gate with force, but it didn't budge and instead triggered a hail of arrows.

  Tang Hao barely dodged in time, but even though he was a cultivator, being pierced by these rust-covered arrowheads still posed some danger.

  Tang Hao remembered that in the Records of History, when the underground palace was almost completed, Qin Er Shi ordered the outer gate to be closed and the inner gate to be combined. All the craftsmen were locked inside for burial, so this eastern gate should belong to the middle gate of the underground palace.

  Tang Hao looked at the city wall, which was as high as twenty meters, but it wasn't a difficult task for cultivators. Just as Tang Hao was about to climb up, Ai Ke suddenly shouted: "There's someone on top!"

  Tang Hao raised his head to take a look, the banner above was made of some unknown material, and it had not rotted for thousands of years. What surprised Tang Hao even more was that there were actually people standing under the banner.

  These people were dressed in black armor, their eyes fixed straight ahead, as if Tang Huang and the others had never appeared.

  Tang Hao took a closer look and found that these were also terracotta warriors, but the workmanship was even more exquisite, and the paint on the outside had not peeled off, making them look like real people.

  Tang Hao and others climbed over the city wall and stood on it, but were shocked by what they saw in front of them.

  Inside the imperial city, there were actually civilian houses, streets, and markets, which was almost a replica of Chang'an at that time. What shocked Tang Huan even more was that the streets were densely packed with corpses, which were probably the craftsmen who stayed behind to be buried with the dead. Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Tang Huan could imagine the scene of them devouring each other.

  Tang Hao and others continued forward, walked to the north of the city, and saw the gate of the imperial city.

  In front of the Imperial City Gate, there was a square where hundreds of terracotta warriors and horses stood. Judging from their attire, they should be the elite among the terracotta warriors. Apart from that, outside the Imperial City Gate, twelve gigantic statues stood, seemingly made of bronze and wrought iron mixed together, reminding Tang Huang of a phrase: "Take the world's soldiers and cast them into twelve golden men."

  "Didn't think you'd come here to die again? Honestly, it's like cockroaches." The blonde woman also arrived at this time.

  Tang Hao and his two companions finished their battle preparations. The blonde woman said, "In order to avoid you getting in the way, it seems we really have to get rid of you."

  As soon as the blonde woman's voice fell, a loud rumbling sound was suddenly heard, and a giant fist slammed into a rebellious policeman. This policeman didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before he turned into a meat pie.

  At this time, Jin Ren's whole body burst out with a fierce aura, and he actually moved on his own, wanting to destroy all living things around him.

  At the same time, a golden man's foot was about to trample Tang Hao and the others. These golden men were originally forged from the weapons of the Warring States period, which had killed countless people and were filled with murderous aura. Now that they had been forged into golden men, their murderous aura was even more overwhelming. Tang Hao knew he couldn't withstand it head-on, so he jumped out several meters away with Ai Ke and Guo Kuang, barely avoiding the golden man's giant foot. The nearby terracotta warriors were not so lucky, all turning to dust.

  The golden man was formidable, but relatively clumsy. With everyone on guard, although some were in a precarious situation, they didn't get hurt.

  "Open the palace gate quickly!" The blonde woman didn't care about Tang Hao and the others anymore, and hurriedly let one of the knights take out the key to activate the mechanism.

  As a loud rumble sounded, the originally closed palace gates opened, and Tang Hao couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The palace gates were constantly emitting a deathly aura, making people feel that there was something even more terrifying inside than the gates themselves.

  However, Tang Hao saw the blonde woman rush in, while the golden man seemed to dare not enter, so he had no choice but to lock his target on Tang Hao and others. Tang Hao suddenly felt a surge of pressure, and had no choice but to follow the blonde woman rushing in.

  When Tang Hao entered the palace, the blonde girl had already run off somewhere, so Tang Hao and his companions could only follow the map to the main hall of the palace, where Qin Shi Huang's coffin should be.

  There should be gardens in the palace, but they have been infected by the yin energy inside and withered away long ago.

  Tang Hao and the others arrived at the entrance of the main hall, only to find that the blonde woman was breaking through the restrictions of the main hall. Indeed, the inside of the imperial palace was different from the outer city, and there were actually restrictions set up.

  In front of the main hall, there was an altar, which turned out to be a transmission array, but it was a one-way random transmission. What was the use of this transmission array? Was it for Qin Shi Huang to use in the future? Tang Hao thought about it and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

  The blonde woman saw Tang Hao and the others appear again, her face sank involuntarily, but she had broken through the seal to the most critical moment, so she said to the six knights: "Stop them."

  The six knights began to chant again, but this time they turned into a white light screen that blocked Tang Huang and the others outside.

  Tang Hao glanced at the altar, put a few spirit stones in, and said to Ai Ke: "Next may be extremely dangerous, you all go back first, I'll stay and see if I can stop them."

  Although Ai Ke was somewhat unwilling, she could still see reality clearly. Moreover, she had developed an extreme fear, so she nodded slightly.

  Guo Kuang was also frightened by the surrounding corpse energy and knew that the situation in front of him was not something he could handle, so he also stepped onto the transmission array with Ai Ke.

  Tang Huan actually wanted to upload the delivery array, but curiosity drove her to stay. Tang Huan summoned a shadow clone and got on the transmission array, while the master hid. The six knights saw that Tang Huan had already left, so they stopped chanting.

  The palace gate finally opened, and a strong gust of corpse energy rushed towards them. The blonde woman said, as if she had found treasure, "It will take Qin Shi Huang several more years to wake up, let's hurry and get the things."

  Tang Hao took the opportunity to appear, instantly appearing beside the blonde woman, grabbing her neck with his hand, and at the same time, the wooden attribute's toxic spiritual power penetrated into the blonde woman's body, rendering her unable to use any of her numerous techniques.

  The six knights saw their holy maiden being restrained, and they hurriedly chanted, trying to control Tang Hao. But Tang Hao didn't want to fall into their trap, so he grabbed the blonde woman and walked towards the main hall, while also reactivating the seal, blocking the six knights outside.

  Tang Hao glanced around and found that except for the copper coffin in the middle, there was a huge stone hanging above it. The huge stone constantly emitted divine light, enveloping the stone coffin. What shocked Tang Hao was the five words on the huge stone: "The one who destroyed Qin is Hu!"
