Chapter 1354 Allies

Zu An: “…”

Isn’t this conversation a bit of an identity mismatch?

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?” He glanced around, finding no one else, but still suppressed the urge to attack.

This woman is definitely not stupid; she dares to approach me in this situation, she must have some backing.

“Then go ahead and make your move,” Zhao Xiaodie seemed to be urging him to.

“Alright, we’re friends after all. Just name your terms.”

Hearing his words, Zhao Xiaodie’s eyes flickered, and the smile on her lips widened. “My whole family was almost wiped out by you. Do you really think we’re friends?” “

Back then, my relationship with King Qi was just a matter of differing stances, not personal grudges. As for you,” Zu An sighed, “I originally thought we were friends, but seeing your reaction now, I guess I was just being presumptuous.”

“Pah, you bastard, you’re a smooth talker who can deceive anyone,” Zhao Xiaodie gritted her teeth, but ultimately sighed softly. “Actually, from any perspective, I should hate you. I often tell myself that, but for some reason, I find it hard to hate you when I see you.” Zu An was startled,

never expecting the other party to see him this way.

“After entering the Temple of Annihilation, I gradually came into contact with the knowledge of the myriad worlds. I think what I have is called Stockholm Syndrome, and it does seem quite similar.” Zhao Xiaodie gave a self-deprecating smile.

“Actually, when you chose the temple, you should have known that there are countless paths in the world, but ultimately, only by following your own heart can you achieve true understanding. Why bother considering anything else?” Zu An said in a deep voice.

“You always make such a good point,” Zhao Xiaodie smiled. “Luckily, you didn’t attack me just now, otherwise I might have really made up my mind.”

Zu An said gently, “I’m not the kind of person who would cruelly destroy a beautiful woman, and ultimately, you were also a victim.”

“Hmph, you say you’re not the kind of person who would cruelly destroy a beautiful woman, but you spanked me so hard back then…” Zhao Xiaodie’s face flushed slightly, and she was a little embarrassed to continue, “Ahem, this time it was my father who came to see you.”

“Your father?” Zu An was shocked. Could it be that the King of Qi had been resurrected?

Zhao Xiaodie hurriedly explained, “In this world, my identity is Dorgon’s daughter. He is the Conqueror King of the Annihilation faction, and his strength is almost on par with the Annihilation God Envoy.”

Zu An, recalling the current situation of the Annihilation faction as described by the Little Demon Queen, pondered, “What does he want with me?”

“He probably wants to win you over. You’re a surrendered general now; it’s best not to offend him,” Zhao Xiaodie reminded him.

Zu An hadn’t expected her to genuinely care for him. “Thank you.”

“Hmph, I’m not doing this for you. I’m currently isolated and helpless in the Annihilation faction, and you’re the only one I know. Remember to help each other in the future.” Zhao Xiaodie wasn’t entirely sure of her own thoughts.

“Of course.” The grudges of the past cultivation world were insignificant in the vast universe.

Soon, led by her, they arrived at the Conqueror King’s residence.

He warmly welcomed him, and when the time was right, he casually remarked, “I see you possess extraordinary talent, sir. It’s a pity you haven’t been given the opportunity to shine.”

Zu An’s heart stirred slightly. Here it comes.

His words were intentionally or unintentionally sowing discord between him and Huang Taiji.

“I am, after all, a surrendered general. The Annihilation camp is full of talented people; it’s not my turn to step in.”

“That’s not the main reason. Ultimately, it’s because of your relationship with the Empress that the Great Khan always feels a thorn in his side.”

Zu’an thought this attempt at sowing discord wasn’t very clever. As the Envoy of Annihilation, how could Wulu Zhixian care about such a romantic relationship?

But he still played along, saying, “At the time, I really didn’t know she was the Great Khan’s Empress. If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared to touch her even if I had a hundred lives.” “

But I heard Xiaodie talk about your past deeds. You’re quite bold.” The Conqueror King smiled knowingly.

Zu’an was startled and looked at Zhao Xiaodie beside him, wondering what she had said to the Conqueror King.

“You don’t need to be afraid. It’s precisely because I know about your past achievements that I’ve decided to cooperate with you,” the Conqueror King went straight to the point. “I won’t beat around the bush either. I hope you can lend me a hand and take over Wulu Zhixian’s power!”

Zu’an: “…”

This guy is really direct.

“The String of No Law is, after all, an Envoy of Annihilation. I’m afraid I don’t have the ability to influence your struggle,”

the Conqueror King snorted. “You don’t need to be modest. You are also an Envoy of Memory. Although your aura doesn’t seem strong, a person’s strength often depends on a combination of factors. Judging from what Xiaodie has told me about your past, and considering your performance in the Ming Court recently, you are definitely a true powerhouse.”

“Conqueror King, you flatter me.”

“Stop beating around the bush. Give me a straight answer, whether you want to join or not.”

Not far away, Zhao Xiaodie frantically winked at Zu An, clearly reminding him to agree. The Conqueror King had already been frank, and if he didn’t agree, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave this room alive.

Zu An, however, did not immediately agree. Instead, he said, “Conqueror King, since you have this idea, you must be quite confident. I just want to know what gives you your confidence. Otherwise, I’ll die even if I blindly join, so why be a fickle person?”

Zhao Xiaodie immediately panicked. It was clearly the Conqueror King testing her, how did it become her testing the Conqueror King? Afraid of angering the Conqueror King, she hurriedly tried to explain and smooth things over.

The Conqueror King laughed heartily, “Not bad, indeed a talent. If you had agreed to join directly, I would have suspected your sincerity, and you might have even betrayed me to the String of No Law.”

“Although the String of No Law is a divine messenger, my strength is no less than his. The only difference is that he possesses the authority of a divine messenger. After years of research, I have discovered a fatal flaw in him.”

“A fatal flaw?”

“I cannot tell you the specifics now. You only need to know that I have the ability to deal with him. You are currently just an insignificant surrendered general under him, but with me, I can fully unleash your talents. The task of unifying this world can be entrusted to you. When you achieve great merit, you will gain the appreciation of the true god, and your future status in the Annihilation camp will be extraordinary.”

“Alright, I join!”

Zu’an sighed inwardly. Sometimes fate is so wondrous. Historically, the factions of Dorgon and Huang Taiji were filled with conflict, and unexpectedly, within the Annihilation camp, these two factions were still fighting like this.

He had been pondering a solution to the problems of this world, lacking only a variable, and now that variable had finally arrived.

The Conqueror King was overjoyed: “Hahaha, with you and me joining forces, success seems within reach. By the way, I heard from Xiaodie that you are very strategic. What do you think we should do next to deal with the Lawless String?”
