Chapter 38: Prideful Retreat
In the Qi Ling space.
Zhang Jue looked up at the light column in the sky that was about to dissipate, and the hole leading to the Heroic Spirit Realm. His face suddenly became extremely solemn. He stretched out his hand and said seriously: "My old subordinates, those guards who swore to follow me to the death, where are you now?"
"Come and see me soon!"
As Zhang Jue cast the spell, some spiritual light appeared in the light column that was about to dissipate, mixed with some aura from the world of heroes, and began to constantly merge and change.
Zhang Jue looked at Su Che standing aside and said with a smile: "Although you did not completely overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty in the simulation world, you overthrew the corrupt Han Dynasty and rebuilt it. This is the same. So I kept my promise and summoned my Taiping Guards to farm for you."
"I haven't seen my old subordinates for a long time. It's a good time for us to get together now."
"They don't have the qualifications to become Heroic Spirits. They have long been lost in the long river of history and turned into countless fragments. It is difficult to summon them normally. Only at this moment, when you cause the origin of the Heavenly Dao in the Heroic Spirit Realm to change through simulation, can you summon them as an exception."
"Each of them can be considered a half-warrior-level heroic spirit."
"Look... huh?"
not far away.
A group of Taiping Guards wearing black iron armor gradually appeared. There were not many of them, about fifty or so.
When the bodies of the Taiping Guards were fully revealed and their figures gradually became clearer , Zhang Jue realized that something was wrong. He couldn't help but frowned and muttered, "Strange, did I summon the wrong ones?"
"No, it's impossible that I summoned the wrong person, but why are these guys a little different from what I remember?"
Obviously, in Zhang Jue's memory, his group of Taiping Guards were not dressed like this.
Not only are their clothes different, their faces are somewhat unfamiliar as well. In addition, the solemn and murderous aura they exude is completely different!
This made Zhang Jue a little confused.
However, Su Che, who was next to Zhang Jue, recognized this group of Taiping Guards at a glance.
They were not just anyone else, but the Taiping Army guards around Su Che in the simulated world.
This group of personal guards were not the same as Zhang Jiao's original Taiping Guards in history. Their styles and combat capabilities were completely different. Naturally, he could not recognize any of them.
Su Che couldn't help but find it a little funny listening to Zhang Jiao's strange mutterings.
The Taiping Guards summoned by Zhang Jue turned out to be his own personal guards in the simulated world. This is a bit subtle.
How should I tell him this?
But soon.
Zhang Jue also reacted, his face changed, and he immediately looked at Su Che and asked in a deep voice: "I understand, so that's how it is. Do you think this group of Taiping Guards in front of you looks very familiar?"
Su Che nodded.
Zhang Jue's expression instantly became very interesting. He said in disbelief, "How could this be? He actually summoned the Taiping Guards from the simulated world. In other words... these Taiping Guards have been fully recognized by the Heavenly Dao?"
At the beginning, Zhang Jue wanted to use Su Che's perfect clearance to change his fate and cause changes in the origin of the heroic spirit world, so as to summon his old subordinates and meet with them.
However, he never expected that the Taiping Guards recognized by the Heavenly Dao were not his own Taiping Guards, but the Taiping Guards from the simulated world!
Isn't this a kind of NTR...
This made his emotions very complicated for a moment.
When this group of Taiping Guards had fully condensed their bodies and gained intelligence, they immediately looked at the two people not far away, and they were all dumbfounded - what was going on?
There are two great and wise teachers sitting at the desk not far away?
A person has the appearance of a great and virtuous teacher, but his demeanor and temperament are completely different.
Although the other person did not have the appearance of the great virtuous teacher, his demeanor, eyes, and temperament from the inside out were exactly the same!
This made the Taiping guards somewhat confused and uncertain, but the team leader Xu Qi led a group of Taiping guards to kneel on one knee. Suddenly, all the Taiping guards knelt on one knee.
Captain Xu Qi raised his head and said, "Captain Xu Qi will lead the team to see the Great Sage Master! Regardless of life or death, the subordinates are all the Great Sage Master's men!"
Zhang Jiao: “…”
His mood was very complicated and he didn't want to talk at all for a while .
These are not his subordinates!
Su Che looked at Xu Qi and asked with a smile: "How much strength do you have now?"
"Report... Our strength is only one tenth of what it was before. I'm afraid it will take some time to recover slowly." Xu Qi said with some shame, and he didn't know how to address the strange young man in front of him.
Among these two, who is the wise and good teacher?
Xu Qi was a little confused!
After hesitating for a while, Xu Qi couldn't help but ask, "May I ask you two, who is the Great and Good Teacher?"
Su Che smiled and said, "We are all great and virtuous teachers."
"Ah?" Xu Qi was stunned: "May I ask what you mean?"
A group of Taiping Guards looked at each other, not knowing what this meant.
“Don’t you understand yet?” Zhang Jue glanced at him and said angrily, “I am the real Great Sage Teacher, but he is the Great Sage Teacher of your simulated world. Your world is just a simulated world of Heaven. I made an exception to summon my personal guards, but I didn’t expect Heaven to give you to me. I’m really pissed off…”
Xu Qi frowned, and after a while, he finally understood. He bowed respectfully to Zhang Jue and said, "Thank you for clearing up our confusion!"
This attitude was very respectful, but obviously distant, and he even used the word "Your Excellency".
Xu Qi continued, "Although you are the real Great Sage Master, you are not our Great Sage Master... We will only obey all the orders of our Great Sage Master, please forgive us."
After saying this, although still respectful, he did not give Zhang Jue any face. Although you summoned us, we don't want to obey your orders!
This made Zhang Jue angry and he said: "Who do you think I am?"
Su Che saw that a quarrel was about to break out and knew that he could not sit back and watch.
"Xu Qi." Su Che glanced at the commander of the Taiping Guard.
"I'm here!" Xu Qi said hurriedly.
"Don't talk to him in that tone. He is my heroic spirit and you must obey his instructions and orders." Su Che said with a smile.
"Yes, sir!" a group of Taiping Guards responded in unison.
"Who cares if they obey my orders?" Zhang Jue snorted.
Su Che: “…”
Oh my god, he’s thousands of years old, how can he still be so arrogant?
I really can't stand it anymore.
For a moment, Su Che didn't know how to complain.
He forced himself to hold back the urge to complain, and said helplessly: "You are my Heroic Spirit, and they were my former subordinates. You should get along well with each other, and don't make things so tense. Even if you give me some face, you can command them a little and lead these new Heroic Spirits. What do you think?"
Su Che's words sounded pleading, and his attitude was low enough that Zhang Jiao finally gave in: "Then I'll give you a little face. Otherwise, I don't want to lead this group of newbies!"
Xu Qi, who was standing by, frowned when he heard this. He wanted to defend his lord very straightforwardly. Su Che immediately turned around and glared at him, and Xu Qi quickly shut up.
Looking at Xu Qi and then at his own heroic spirit Zhang Jiao, Su Che felt inexplicably tired.
