Chapter 561 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
"You!" The Imperial Advisor's eyes widened in disbelief, but a hint of understanding flickered within them. He murmured, "Your Majesty? Xiao Jing'an?!"
Upon realizing who this person was, the Imperial Advisor finally abandoned any intention of recruiting him, and his eyes immediately filled with guilt and the panic and fear of being confronted by an enemy.
Although the Imperial Advisor spoke softly, both Xiao Jing'an and Su Jinyue heard him.
Xiao Jing'an scoffed coldly: "Looks like you've finally remembered."
The Imperial Advisor tried hard to control his gaze and expression, making himself appear less flustered.
"What do I remember? You've come to the wrong person, haven't you? We're complete strangers. I can overlook your rudeness, but please leave immediately."
He naturally recognized Xiao Jing'an's identity, but he also knew that he absolutely could not admit it.
A thousand years ago, for the sake of his own path of cultivation, he allowed people from other worlds to act recklessly, severing the dragon vein of Xiao Jing'an's dynasty.
In order to ascend to the throne, he became even more ruthless towards Xiao Jing'an after the country fell, all in an effort to seize the imperial aura from Xiao Jing'an.
However, a thousand years have passed, and although he survived thanks to Xiao Jing'an, he still has not achieved ascension.
No wonder he's been feeling uneasy these past few days. Even after sending his disciples and followers out to reinforce the formation, he still can't put his mind at ease.
It turns out that Xiao Jing'an had already escaped from the formation!
Moreover, it's growing so fast!
The Imperial Advisor's gaze swept over Xiao Jing'an and Su Jinyue one by one, his eyes flickering. At this moment, he had long since given up the idea of taking Xiao Jing'an under his wing.
Xiao Jing'an's ability to appear so openly before him meant that he had been prepared all along, so what else could he do?
Having lived for a thousand years, the Imperial Advisor naturally has his own way of surviving.
He chuckled nonchalantly: "What brings you two young friends here so late at night? I have no past grudges or recent feuds with you, yet you so rudely barge in..."
Xiao Jing'an watched as the Grand Preceptor's eyes darted around, muttering to himself while subtly backing away, and he understood his intentions.
The Imperial Advisor knows he has no chance of winning and is planning to run away!
But Xiao Jing'an and Su Jinyue have been searching for him for so long, how could they possibly let him escape?!
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jing'an raised his hand and launched a fierce attack, giving the Grand Preceptor no chance to react.
Su Jinyue followed closely behind, helping Xiao Jing'an to restrain the Imperial Preceptor.
The Imperial Advisor was shocked and tried to retreat, but found that Su Jinyue had already blocked his escape route. With nowhere to retreat, he had no choice but to face the enemy head-on.
However, the more the Grand Preceptor fought Xiao Jing'an, the more alarmed he became. He had sensed that Xiao Jing'an only had the strength of a Ghost King, so why did his aura become more and more oppressive the more they fought?
Could it be that he's been hiding his true strength?
Caught off guard, the Imperial Advisor was knocked to the ground by Xiao Jing'an in just a few moves. He spat out a mouthful of blood and frantically tried to come up with a solution.
But any countermeasure is useless in the face of absolute power.
Having tested the Grand Preceptor's true strength, Xiao Jing'an no longer held back. Before the Grand Preceptor could beg for mercy, Xiao Jing'an delivered a fatal blow, leaving the Grand Preceptor with no chance to retaliate.
Then, with a flick of his finger, he was about to humanely destroy the Imperial Advisor, who was unable to stand up.
Seeing that his physical body was about to be destroyed by Xiao Jing'an, in order to escape, the Imperial Preceptor did not hesitate to detach from his physical body and choose to escape with his soul.
But Xiao Jing'an had long anticipated the possibility of his soul escaping and was very wary of him. How could he let him escape like that?
The Imperial Preceptor's soul successfully emerged from his body. Overjoyed, he quickly fled in a direction far away from Xiao Jing'an and Su Jinyue.
However, the direction the Imperial Advisor fled was exactly where Xiao Jing'an had set up a trap for him, and in an instant, his soul was in Xiao Jing'an's hands.
Having captured the Imperial Advisor, Xiao Jing'an immediately began searching his soul without saying a word.
A person like the Imperial Advisor, who has lived for a thousand years, never utters a word of truth in order to survive. It would be faster to just search his soul.
Besides, Xiao Jing'an sought out the Imperial Advisor for revenge. Even if he had any concerns, after a thousand years, none of them mattered anymore.
Xiao Jing'an spent quite a while searching the soul before finishing. After all, the Imperial Preceptor had lived for a long time, and even just a cursory look would take a considerable amount of time.
After searching the soul, Xiao Jing'an directly destroyed the Imperial Preceptor's soul. The Imperial Preceptor had committed too many sins in order to survive, and Xiao Jing'an even felt disgusted with his soul as a source of soul power.
While Xiao Jing'an was searching the soul, Su Jinyue had already searched the Imperial Preceptor's residence. She collected everything useful and destroyed anything unusable or used for evil.
Finally, only the body possessed by the Imperial Preceptor remained. Su Jinyue was afraid there might be some karmic connection left, so she didn't move it.
After Xiao Jing'an finished searching the soul, Su Jinyue asked him and learned that this person was carefully selected by the Imperial Advisor and had no relatives left in the world. Only then did she feel at ease and put the body away, preparing to find a beautiful place to bury it after she left.
After finishing everything, Su Jinyue turned to look at Xiao Jing'an, only to see him gazing at her with deep affection.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?" Su Jinyue asked curiously. Could it be that the Imperial Advisor still remembered her?
Su Jinyue thought for a moment. In this world, although 'Su Jinyue' also entered Xiao Jing'an's harem, with the group of transmigrators around, 'Su Jinyue' should not be favored, and Xiao Jing'an should not notice her.
Xiao Jing'an shook his head before explaining to Su Jinyue.
"I am grateful," grateful that in his parallel world, Su Jinyue existed, which allowed him and his country to be preserved and even allowed the dynasty to continue better.
From the Imperial Advisor's memories, Xiao Jing'an saw the fate of 'him' a thousand years ago.
Both those before and after death.
Before his death, Xiao Jing'an in this world already knew that his country had been destroyed by the rebel army, that the country's fate was sealed, and that years of natural and man-made disasters had long made it impossible for the people under his rule to survive.
The people rebelled due to the oppression of officials and the inaction of officials. The wealthy and powerful had already received the news and withdrew from the capital in advance, allowing the various rebel armies to enter the capital without hindrance.
Xiao Jing'an did not live to see this ending, because he had long been captured by the Imperial Advisor and used as nourishment to enhance his strength. His body was dismembered and placed in the formation to extract dragon energy.
Therefore, Xiao Jing'an did not see his palace being occupied by the rebel army, and then the various rebel armies began to fight amongst themselves.
Immediately afterwards, the border fell, and the steppe cavalry marched south, burning, killing, and looting as if they were in an empty land.
Finally, after a century of war and chaos, the Central Plains saw its population plummet by eight or nine tenths before a leader with the makings of an emperor emerged, reunified the country, and ended the war.
In fact, Xiao Jing'an also learned about the ending a thousand years ago from the current history books.
However, the few words in the history books can hardly compare to the more direct and tragic scenes seen in the memory of the Imperial Preceptor.
