Zaun knew that even if the Conqueror King faced various unfavorable situations, Reverse Whirlwind might not be able to kill him, so he had to make thorough preparations.
He used his magic of transformation to become Jiang Luofu, and then, in the instant she thought she had overcome the crisis and relaxed after killing Ni Mingxuan, he took her life with a poisoned dagger.
Now that he possesses a portion of the God of Death's authority, the poison within his dagger has become far more potent, so that even a divine messenger would be unable to withstand the ultimate power of death emanating from it.
Feeling a powerful force surge into his body, and his experience bar leveling up significantly, Zu An thought to himself, "This feeling of absorbing other people's cultivation is really great."
He was even considering how many levels he could grow to if he absorbed all the powerful beings from the Annihilation Realm.
The moment this thought crossed his mind, he was horrified. No wonder techniques like the Star Absorbing Technique and the Power Dissolving Technique, which absorb people's power, are called demonic arts; they can indeed easily affect the user's mind.
He quickly composed himself and began to deal with the battlefield and the Conqueror King's corpse. In fact, with his current strength, plus the cooperation of Jiang Luofu and the Little Demon Queen, he could most likely kill the Conqueror King by taking advantage of the situation.
But firstly, he didn't want the two women to take such a big risk, and secondly, he also had to consider the aftermath.
Historically, Dorgon had a pre-existing illness and died after falling from his horse while hunting. But now, the Conqueror King is a top-tier powerhouse among all the heavens, so how could he possibly have died from falling from his horse?
If there is no sufficient reason, the higher-ups will definitely conduct a thorough investigation, and then they will be in danger.
Fortunately, the Conqueror King was courting death. A few days ago, he went to the prison and humiliated Tesna in that way. Afterwards, he boasted about it to satisfy his sense of accomplishment. Now, the higher-ups of the Annihilation Empire all know what happened in the prison, and they all feel a sense of unease.
Therefore, reversing fate to seek revenge is a reasonable explanation.
As expected, when the people of Nirvana finally arrived and learned of everything, none of them doubted anything.
Even the most trusted confidants of the Conqueror King only suspected how Ni Mingxuan escaped from the prison, but never suspected that the murderer was someone else.
What followed was a natural progression: Zuan, in alliance with Jirhalang and Aobai, took control of Suksaha's forces.
Throughout the process, the young emperor Wang Xuanjin cooperated with them, after all, he had had enough of the arrogance and domineering behavior of the Conqueror King over the years.
He knew he was just a puppet of the other party, and that the other party would eventually try to seize power from him.
Now that his biggest threat has been eliminated, he can finally step out from being a puppet and into the spotlight. How could he not be excited?
He also immediately ordered that Jirhalang and Aobai be granted titles, and at the same time bestowed great rewards upon Zu'an.
Next, the group transported the body of the Conqueror King back to the capital. The Conqueror King left his trusted confidant, Ajige, in the capital to lead men to receive the coffin. He originally planned to take that opportunity to kill Jirhalang, Aobai, and others, and regain control of the young emperor and empress dowager.
Unfortunately, when news of the Conqueror King's death reached the capital, his power crumbled, and Ajige, known for his cruelty and lack of popular support, was unable to muster sufficient forces.
After a small battle, Ajige was also captured.
Zaun felt a little regretful, since he couldn't kill Ajige and absorb his cultivation in front of so many high-ranking members of the Silent Extinction faction.
However, after the death of the Conqueror King, everyone, including him, Jiang Luofu, and the other high-ranking members of the Silent Extinction faction, breathed a sigh of relief, and the entire capital was filled with a festive atmosphere.
The young emperor, Wang Xuanjin, held a grand banquet for his officials in the palace, ostensibly to celebrate the birth of his son. However, everyone knew that it was actually a celebration of the death of the Conqueror King, and that he was using this opportunity to win over many high-ranking officials of the Silent Extinction faction.
Although Zu'an made great contributions, he was not a direct descendant of the Extinction faction, so the rewards he received were naturally not as great as those of Jirhalang and Aobai.
But he didn't care and found an opportunity to sneak into the inner palace.
Jiang Luofu has been living in constant fear lately, with Wu Lu Zhi Xian in front of her and Conqueror Wang behind her, each of them so oppressive that she can't live in peace.
Unexpectedly, Zuan dealt with two such powerful beings without making a sound. Just as those girls said, this kid is a man who is good at creating miracles.
"Azu, what should we do next?" Although we can relax a little for now, the future is still bleak.
Now, the forces of Annihilation hold an absolute advantage. Reproduction has been extinguished, and Order is left with only a few remnants clinging to life. The Annihilation faction's unification of the world is now unstoppable.
When the world is completely unified by the extinction, even if the extinction completely refines this world, it will be able to contribute a considerable amount of power to the ancestor of the extinction.
Those few people will probably still not escape death, not to mention Isabella and Chu Chuyan who are still in the Order camp.
"Let's live for today, for tomorrow we may die. Why think about all those troublesome things? At worst, we can just turn to oblivion later." Zu'an laughed, and, fueled by the alcohol, began kissing her cheeks, earlobes, and neck.
"Stop fooling around..." Jiang Luofu also realized what was going on. With her current knowledge, she naturally knew that there were many things that couldn't be said. Although it seemed like only the two of them were having a private conversation, there were no secrets to the true god.
She trusted the man and stopped asking questions.
The little demon queen rolled her eyes. Did these two think I didn't exist?
She didn't want to stay and be a third wheel, so she went out to keep watch for them. After all, they were in the deep palace now, a desolate place.
Jiang Luofu naturally noticed this scene and awkwardly punched Zu An's chest: "I wonder how long the little demon queen will laugh at me for from now on."
Zu An didn't take it to heart: "Principal Jiang, when did you become so shy?"
Upon hearing the way the other person addressed her, Jiang Luofu couldn't help but think of the time she spent in Mingyue City. She deliberately put on a stern face and said, "If I had known back then that you were such a daring student, I would never have let you into the school."
