Chapter 1355 Shocking Change in the Deep Palace

Zaun realized that the other party was testing him. If he didn’t answer well, he would at least lose his future influence in the camp, or at worst be abandoned and killed on the spot.

Fortunately, he had been thinking about this matter and immediately replied, “It’s easy to kill him, but we need to make his death reasonable to avoid his subordinates noticing anything unusual, which could trigger a firefight and a counterattack.”

The Conqueror’s eyes lit up immediately: “That’s exactly what I was thinking. Do you have any ideas?”

“I noticed that the String of No Law is extremely obese and has a face as red as blood. Did something go wrong during his training?” Zaun asked.

The Conqueror King was secretly surprised: “Indeed, the cultivation technique he practiced in his early years was extremely domineering, causing his blood and energy to become excessively abundant. Coupled with years of fighting and absorbing the power of countless powerful figures, he was fine in his early years, but after absorbing the power of Augustus of the Templar Knights, it seems to have triggered a long-term hidden danger within his body.”

“These days, he has had several nosebleeds that won’t stop, each time requiring dozens of bowls to catch the blood. It’s only because of his strength that he’s like this; anyone else would have died long ago.”

This was something he had investigated for many years and originally intended to keep as a trump card, but he didn’t expect the other party to see through it so quickly.

“Then we can start from this point. Have your men do some publicity on this, subtly and gradually, so that even if he dies suddenly, others will think it’s only natural,” Zuan said.

The Conqueror King nodded slightly: “That’s easy enough. The key is how to kill him suddenly. I can certainly set up an ambush, and I’m more than 50% confident. But given his strength, it’s impossible to do it silently. The commotion will inevitably alert others.”

Zu’an pondered for a moment: “Is she very much in love with the current Empress Hailanzhu?”

“Yes, it’s strange, considering his status, how could he fall in love with a woman from the native world?” The Conqueror King looked puzzled. “His affection for Hailanzhu is definitely beyond the normal range. You see, he would send Da Yu’er to force you to surrender, but he would never let Hailanzhu come to you.”

Zhao Xiaodie’s expression was extremely strange. She actually knew the Little Demon Queen’s true identity, but she had always planned to keep it a secret.

Now that she thought about it, it was really bizarre. Back in the cultivation world, she had heard that the Little Demon Queen was an extremely seductive woman who had bewitched the Old Demon Emperor.

Later, she bewitched Regent Zu’an, and now she had bewitched the Annihilation God Envoy like a fool.

“Is this really a strong person’s detector? Should I find an opportunity to learn from her?

” “It seems the key to breaking this deadlock lies with Hailanzhu.”

“But Hailanzhu and Wulu Zhixian are so in love, how can we make a move?”

“I’ll figure that out.”

“No wonder Xiaodie said you’re very skilled with women, I admire you!”

“…”

Several more months passed, and the Qing army still couldn’t break through the Shanhaiguan Pass guarded by the Second Elder.

Wulu Zhixian finally remembered the surrendered Zu’an and summoned him, asking, “You were in the high-level decision-making circle of the Order faction before, do you have any way to break this deadlock?”

“Hermes is in charge of the entire commercial empire of the Universal Merchant Guild. With his abilities, there’s really no good way to hold out, but he does have a weakness that can be exploited,” Zu’an replied confidently.

“What weakness?” Wulu Zhixian asked hastily.

“He’s a devoted man, and that woman could be his weakness.”

“It’s common knowledge that Hermes fell in love with a woman in his youth, but no one knows who he loved, and even if they did, they couldn’t find her in this special world.” Wu Lu Zhi Xian frowned, feeling a deep connection with Hermes in this regard.

“I might have a way,” Zu An said slowly.

“What way?” Wu Lu Zhi Xian’s eyes lit up.

“Judging from our previous contact with the Ming court, he may have encountered a woman in this world who resembles his former lover. If I go to the capital and start with that woman, I should be able to find a breakthrough,” Zu An replied.

“Go to the capital?” Wu Lu Zhi Xian’s expression changed slightly, then he smiled, “Now that we’re enemies, if you go to the capital and are discovered, you’ll probably not survive. Why don’t you just tell me who that woman is, and I’ll send someone else.”

Zu An sighed inwardly. The other party still didn’t trust him, worried that his previous surrender was a ruse and that he would never return after running back to the capital.

Wouldn’t that mean he’d lost both his wife and his army by having Dayuer force him to surrender?

“I’m not sure about that woman either. I need to go there to confirm. If things aren’t handled properly, it could easily alert her, and we might never have another chance.” Zu’an returned to the capital not only to confirm a certain doubt in his mind with Chen Yuanyuan, but also to secretly meet with Isabella and Zheng Dan, lest they think he was really dead.

However, the more he said this, the more Wulu Zhixian suspected his motives, and ultimately he didn’t agree.

Before parting, Wulu Zhixian suddenly said, “I heard Princess Xiaodie likes you very much. You really know how to please women.”

Zu’an smiled and responded a few times, but his heart skipped a beat. This was a warning.

Zhao Xiaodie was now Dorgon’s daughter, and with so much contact with him, it was hard not to suspect his relationship with Dorgon.

He knew that once Wulu Zhixian found evidence of his alliance with “Dorgon,” he would probably kill him immediately.

He couldn’t wait any longer…

That day, he secretly went to Dorgon’s Prince Rui’s residence and discussed the matter for a long time.

As night fell, in the palace,

Wu Lu Zhi Xian arrived at Hai Lan Zhu’s chambers as usual.

Thinking of her soft, delicate figure, alluring charm, and understanding nature, he felt a burning desire within him.

Over the years, with his status and position, he had seen countless beauties, but none had captivated him like her.

Even the Goddess of Order, he had only played with her out of enmity, simply to humiliate her, even casually sending her to serve other men.

But with Hai Lan Zhu, he absolutely couldn’t bear to.

What followed was another period of blissful relaxation; she truly was the epitome of womanhood.

The feeling was unlike anything he had ever experienced with any other woman.

And today, she had even specially invited her younger sister, Da Yu Er, to serve him as well.

Ah, what a thoughtful woman.

Although he didn’t like Da Yu Er as much as Hai Lan Zhu, her current status as the God of Order made humiliating her particularly pleasurable.

However, today felt strange, as if he were floating on clouds, somewhat unreal.

Suddenly, his protective magic items activated automatically, indicating that something was attacking him.

Then, an ancient-looking copper coin appeared in the air, instantly disabling all his protective magic items.

A Treasure-Dropping Copper Coin!

Immediately afterward, a blade thrust forward. The String of No Law sneered; his greatest skill was disrupting all laws, causing them to collapse completely.

The instant his magical artifact activated, he had already rewritten the laws surrounding him, rendering him impervious to any attack.

But he never expected that the blade would pierce right through the chaotic laws around him.

The Fang of Slaughter possessed the power to break laws, unaffected by any laws, even chaotic ones.

Under the cover of the Fang of Slaughter, a pitch-black dagger sliced through his skin.

The dagger was poisoned; the wounded would surely die.

“The divine power of death!” The String of No Law’s pupils constricted. He was, after all, merely a divine messenger; how could he possibly alter the rules set by a true god?
