Zu An thought to himself that he had ruined the great cause of Nirvana several times, and embarking on the path of Nirvana was simply courting death.

However, it seems that the String of No Law is unaware of the grudge between himself and the God of Annihilation...

Come to think of it, although the previous attempts to destroy the annihilation were thwarted, a mere human being would not be taken seriously by the true god.

It was probably only during the God of Death's trial that He first took notice of it, but at that time it was protected by Misty and Mengying. It's normal that Silent Extinction, having suffered a setback, wouldn't have told its subordinates, so it's also normal that String of No Law didn't know.

So he responded to the other party with an excited expression. Wu Lu Zhi Xian could naturally see that he was not sincere, but he didn't mind. Anyway, when the gods fell in the future, he would sincerely convert to Nirvana.

For the next period of time, Wuluzhixian led the Annihilation army to continue their advance, sweeping all before them, and even captured Ningyuan City.

The Ming army completely lost the area outside the Great Wall, but stabilized the situation at Shanhaiguan Pass.

Under the leadership of the Second Elder Hermes, the remaining Ming troops united as one and repelled wave after wave of Qing attacks.

Seeing that Wu Lu Zhi Xian's several seemingly sure-fire attacks had failed to succeed, Zaun couldn't help but admire the Second Elder's true talent.

However, Shanhaiguan itself truly lives up to its reputation as the No. 1 Pass under Heaven. He had visited it personally before, and Shanhaiguan has transcended the historical boundaries of that pass, becoming a massive and sturdy fortress thousands of times larger.

The various complex magic arrays and star-destroying cannons on the screen were the reason why the army of the Lawless Strings always returned empty-handed.

Previously, the Universal Chamber of Commerce wanted to completely pacify the area outside the pass to present a gift to the God of Order. However, the series of crushing defeats have made them more pragmatic, as simple defense is indeed impenetrable.

After surrendering, Zuan was not immediately given an important position, but was instead placed in the headquarters.

He was happy to have some free time, so he familiarized himself with the intelligence of the Silent Camp while looking for an opportunity to reunite with Jiang Luofu.

It's unclear whether it was because he suggested that Wu Lu Zhi Xian send Jiang Luofu to him, which made the other party wary, or something else, but the other party hid Jiang Luofu deep in the palace and couldn't contact her for a while.

Now that he is a surrendered person, countless eyes are watching him from the side of annihilation, making it very difficult for him to have the opportunity to sneak into the inner palace.

Fortunately, on this day, Empress Hailanzhu, another beloved empress of Huang Taiji, summoned him, and he finally had the opportunity to enter the palace.

Looking at Jiang Luofu and the Little Demon Queen sitting on the high platform, one was a cold and aloof older sister, and the other was charming and graceful. However, because their clothing styles were similar, they looked like real sisters sitting together.

Upon seeing Zu'an, both Jiang Luofu and the Little Demon Queen showed a hint of joy in their eyes.

However, with so many of Huang Taiji's spies around, he couldn't show it in front of everyone.

The young empress then used the pretext of the Qing army's repeated failures in attacking Shanhaiguan to ask him, a former important minister of the Ming court, if he had any suggestions.

At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice: "Auntie, don't worry, Sister Jiang is fine. Last time, I was careless and almost let Sister Jiang be humiliated. Now I'm inseparable from her."

"Given the ruggedness and fortifications of Shanhaiguan, a direct assault would be virtually impossible..." Zu'an answered openly while subtly responding.

"We really owe you a lot this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Hmph, you're a high-ranking official of the Ming court, someone the Great Khan paid a great price to persuade to surrender, yet now you can't offer a single solution. Aren't you just a useless bum?" The Little Demon Queen feigned anger, but secretly smiled and said.

"It proves that you and Sister Jiang are destined to be together. She encountered such a thing that day, and it turned out to be you. Do you know how shocked I was when I found out about this?"

“Your Majesty, please calm down. I meant that a direct attack is useless, but as long as enough pressure is applied, the Ming court will be plagued by internal strife, Li Zicheng’s rebel army will rise from the ashes and grow stronger, and then the world will definitely change. That will be the Great Khan’s opportunity…” Zu’an looked anxious, but his tone was unusually gentle in private.

"The fact that I met you under these circumstances proves that we are also destined to be together."

"Tch, what a sweet talker, no wonder she's got Jiang Meimei all smitten."

"Your words are so sweet, I really want to taste them again."

"The people in the palace are watching closely; I'm afraid there won't be an opportunity anytime soon. So, what should we do now? Should we really help Nirvana defeat Order?"

"What's the situation like on the Silent Extinction side now? Tell me about the factions within them first."

"As the Envoy of Annihilation, the String of No Law holds absolute power. The other faction that can be considered is the King of Conquerors, whose identity in this world is Dorgon. The two don't seem to have a very good relationship..."

...

While outwardly exchanging questions and strategies, the two secretly exchanged various intelligence.

Since Xiao Yaohou and Jiang Luofu are now the empresses of Huang Taiji, Zu An could not stay here for too long. When it was almost time, he took his leave.

Not long after leaving the palace, a cold voice suddenly came from the side: "You have affairs with both Hailanzhu and Dayuer!"

Upon hearing this, Zu An was startled, and his murderous intent surged. He knew that if their relationship were exposed, they would probably all die without a burial place.

Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly froze, because standing in front of him was a beautiful girl who looked like a pretty butterfly. Her dress was very special, purple and white, with a unique shape on the hem, like butterfly wings.

"Zhao Xiaodie! What are you doing here?" Zu An had already recognized her as Princess Caidie, the daughter of the former King Qi of the cultivation world.

The girl, with her hands behind her back, circled around Zuan, a slight smile playing on her lips: "If you can be here, why can't I?"

Zuan suddenly had a thought, recalling the information he had found when he returned to the cultivation world. Zhao Xiaodie had indeed entered the Temple of Annihilation, so it was perfectly normal for her to appear in the Order faction now.

"I never expected this, the once majestic regent has become a prisoner. It's quite a taste of fortune turning around." Zhao Xiaodie laughed more and more happily.

Zuan frowned: "With your strength, even in the Order faction, your status wouldn't be very high, so what right do you have to laugh at me?"

"Really?" Hearing this, Zhao Xiaodie immediately perked up. "Excuse me, I am now a princess of the Qing Dynasty, and my status is much more noble than yours."

“Princess…” Zuan’s heart skipped a beat, “In this world, your father is Dorgon?”

"Indeed!" Zhao Xiaodie raised her eyebrows, feeling extremely pleased. No wonder those storybooks loved to write about the ups and downs of fortune; it really was that satisfying.

Back in the cultivation world, when she sensed the power of Zu'an, she thought she would never have any hope of revenge in this lifetime.

But life is full of surprises, and now she seems to have a chance for revenge.

"What do you want?" Zu An asked solemnly. Although there had been some ambiguity between them before, judging from the other party's current attitude, it seemed that it was all an act. If all else failed, he would have to silence him, but that might not be able to keep it a secret.

"You don't want Huang Taiji to know your secret, do you?" Zhao Xiaodie said smugly, like a little fox.
