Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 252 Once you're out of the city, you won't have a choice.

The next morning, Chu Danqing saw Xu Congwen and his wife off out of the city.

The Prefect also came to see him off. No one knows what Yang Qianyuan said to the other party, but when he returned, he said that the matter was settled.

At the same time, he also took a spiritual material called "Smoke and Cloud White Peony" from the Lord of the Prefecture, saying it was a reward for Chu Danqing's act of bravery.

【Smoky White Peony】

[Type: Material]

【Excellent quality】

[Effect 1: When used in crafting items such as summoning potions and food, the effect is increased by 50%]

Looking at the attribute panel, Chu Danqing could only say that this was indeed a world of beast taming, and the items produced were far too suitable for him.

"This is too precious." Chu Danqing said, handing the Misty Cloud White Peony back to Yang Qianyuan: "This spiritual material should have been given to you by the Lord of the Prefecture, right?"

“Yes, but I don’t need it.” Yang Qianyuan added, “So I asked the Prefect to replace it with the Smoky White Peony that Brother Chu needs.”

The prophetic spider is still young, and it has already received all the necessary training. Forcing it to grow stronger with external means would only be counterproductive.

From now on, it just needs to grow naturally.

As for further evolution, the time is not yet ripe.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll accept the gift. Just let me know if you need anything." Chu Danqing accepted the Smoke Cloud White Peony.

After dealing with Cheng Xunyan, the materials on the road can be used as the main material, along with the remaining auxiliary materials I bought earlier, to cultivate Da Bao's bloodline concentration.

"Then, farewell, you two," Chu Danqing said to Xu Congwen and his wife after accepting the gift.

After expressing their gratitude profusely, Xu Congwen and his companion took the gold and silver valuables given to them by Chu Danqing and drove away in a donkey cart.

It wasn't that Chu Danqing didn't arrange carriages or horses for them, but rather that it would be too conspicuous.

Although the couple had a spirit beast, they acted as if no one else did.

If they were in the middle of nowhere, riding tall horses, the couple would easily be spotted.

On the contrary, the donkey cart was less eye-catching.

As for Chu Danqing, under Yang Qianyuan's guidance in using the Prophecy Spider to deduce celestial secrets, she quickly found a safe place and waited for Cheng Xunyan to arrive.

"They're here," the prophetic spider on Yang Qianyuan's shoulder reminded him.

Chu Danqing checked the time and realized that Yang Qianyuan's ability to deduce the secrets of heaven was indeed strong, as it was accurate to the last detail.

Let's get to this point, right here.

The only drawback is the long loading time, and it cannot be used to predict events that exceed the limit.

Furthermore, since it was Yang Qianyuan's scheme that brought this place here, the more information they know, the more accurate their divination of the heavenly secrets will be.

Essentially, it's a form of information acquisition.

"Interesting. It seems that Lord Prefect intends to use you to get rid of me." Cheng Xunyan's tone was disdainful.

He did not come alone; he brought with him about ten trusted confidants.

This trip out of the city was to settle a personal score, so after receiving the news, he kept a low profile and did not make a big fuss about leaving the city.

He was an official, and especially given the drastic change in the prefect's attitude towards him, such murders still had to be carried out in private.

"I don't have time to waste with you. I just hope your neck is clean by the time you arrive." After Chu Danqing finished speaking, 81 Vajra Warriors emerged from the Eight Steeds Climbing Dragon Chariot Amulet.

Cheng Xunyan's face turned pale instantly. Without hesitation, he pulled on the reins and turned to run back with his spirit beast, the Blood-Striped Leopard.

Given the current situation, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that a head-on confrontation is not advisable.

The Vajra Warrior's figure blurred into afterimages as he pierced through the smoke and dust.

The foremost strongman gripped the horse's neck and mane with one hand, his arm muscles bulging like a dragon, pressing the galloping horse to its knees.

The horse neighed and rolled to its side, and Cheng Xunyan fell off and rolled to the ground.

Another Vajra Warrior's fist, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, slammed into Cheng Xunyan's left cheek.

Finally, he held back, his five fingers gripping Cheng Xunyan's throat like iron clamps, lifting him up and dragging him in front of Chu Danqing.

Those who hadn't stopped their attacks unleashed a bloodbath; one of his trusted men was smashed in half at the waist, his upper body crashing to the side, his intestines spilling out everywhere.

"Who...who are you?" Cheng Xunyan asked in horror as she was being lifted up by the neck. The situation was very strange.

He could understand eight Vajra Warriors, but there were eighty-one. Not only could Cheng Xunyan not understand, but even Yang Qianyuan's mind was a little overwhelmed.

Chu Danqing gave a look, and a Vajra Warrior immediately stepped forward and slapped Cheng Xunyan across the face, leaving a dent in her right cheek and five bloody streaks tearing from her ear to the corner of her mouth.

Before his head could turn back, he chopped at his left jaw with his left palm, and with a dull thud, the jaw dislocated, and shattered molars sprayed out along with the blood from his nose.

The attribute limit for a Tier 1 warrior is 30 points. Even without Chu Danqing's boost, the Vajra Warrior's base attribute is 45 points.

"What about the Orchid Blood Dew?" Chu Danqing asked coldly.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xunyan was stunned for a moment, then burst into a cold laugh: "So it was for the Orchid Blood Dew."

"I think you should stay out of Prince Ning's business, lest you end up dead without a proper burial."

Chu Danqing didn't expect the other party to confess so honestly; he had only intended to bluff.

He did indeed resell the items.

"You're incredibly efficient; you've smuggled it all out in just one night. Looks like your line is something special," Chu Danqing continued to bluff.

"I'm actually quite curious, which faction are you on? How dare you have the audacity to mess with His Highness Prince Ning's people?" Cheng Xunyan's courage was rising at this moment.

What he feared most was that Chu Danqing knew nothing and was just a clueless fool.

However, judging from the questions Chu Danqing asked, he believed that Chu Danqing knew some of the details. This was the source of his confidence.

"Heh, so what if Prince Ning is powerful?" Chu Danqing said with feigned disdain, then added, "Confess now, and I'll give you a quick death."

In that instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Cheng Xunyan's mind.

The only people who could find the entire line of how Prince Ning cultivated the Yaksha warrior spirit beasts and accurately grasp the essence of the whole process are probably some powerful vassal kings, besides the emperor who is on a southern tour.

Several candidates quickly came to mind.

Only by accurately identifying the mastermind behind these two individuals can one successfully escape.

“His Highness Prince Min’s people are indeed extraordinary, but you killed me and now you want to sever this connection? This matter is unlikely to end well,” Cheng Xunyan said immediately.

"You don't necessarily think this is a great achievement, do you?" Cheng Xunyan didn't just threaten him, but reasoned with him, saying, "There's no such thing as a perfect solution in this world."

"If His Highness Prince Ning finds out about the leak, His Highness Prince Min will only hand you over to His Highness Prince Ning to deal with you in order to keep the peace."

"It's not good for you or for me."

Chu Danqing didn't say anything; he just filled in the blanks with his own imagination and then continued the conversation on his own.

“What you said is indeed correct.” Chu Danqing nodded in agreement, and then continued, “Then I can’t have made a wasted trip.”

"You have to give me at least a hint so I can go back and report," Chu Danqing said with dissatisfaction. "I came all this way only to go back empty-handed. What do you think my fate will be?"

"We're all just running errands for each other. I won't make things difficult for you, and you shouldn't make things difficult for me either."

It means you should say something.

Cheng Xunyan thought this made sense.

“Xuanyuan Temple.” Cheng Xunyan gave a place name: “Xuanyuan Temple is upstream of my line.”

"That's it?" Chu Danqing asked. "What's the exact location?"

"Follow the official road for about fifty li." In order to save his life, Cheng Xunyan gave a very detailed account of the location and how to get there.

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the amusement park's mission appeared simultaneously.

Side Quest: Annihilate the Yaksha of Genenji within 48 hours

[Trial Difficulty: A-Level (Heroic)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 10000, Attribute Points +4]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -20000, Random Attribute -1]

Two pieces of good news.

One reason is that Xuanyuan Temple is related to the trial mission, and it triggers a side quest.

Another piece of good news is that Xuanyuan Temple is located on the route to Meilong Town.

According to Chu Danqing's estimate, even walking wouldn't take too long.

Therefore, forty-eight hours is more than enough.

As for the difficulty level being A-level? That's even better news.

Moreover, neither the treasure chests from the Miefang Mansion nor the Toutuo Temple dropped.

I guess they're counting on this Xuanyuan Temple.

"I see, no wonder those two monks escorted them here." Chu Danqing tried to trick them again, then continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

To eradicate evil completely, they even disguised themselves as a temple to abduct women and refine the Orchid Blood Dew. Chu Danqing refused to believe that Xuanyuan Temple was the only one.

"Brother, we're all working for the princes. I've given you some credit, so don't ruin my job." Cheng Xunyan narrowed his eyes, indicating that he wouldn't say anything more.

If I say anything more, I'll get myself involved.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing sighed, "Fine, I was greedy."

After saying that, Da Bao pierced Cheng Xunyan's chest with a single claw.

Cheng Xunyan's expression showed disbelief; he couldn't understand why Chu Danqing wanted to kill him.

"Don't worry, I'll send Prince Ning down to keep you company when I have time," Chu Danqing whispered in Cheng Xunyan's ear.

At that moment, Cheng Xunyan's eyes widened in disbelief; he realized he had been deceived.

Unfortunately, he was no longer able to speak. As Da Bao withdrew his claws, Cheng Xunyan died on the spot.

As for the corpses of the spirit beasts, they were collected together by the Vajra Warriors.

"These are all top-quality materials." After refrigerating them, Chu Danqing stored them all in her storage space: "Da Bao, you're in luck."

We will then use cooking techniques to prepare it as a food resource for Da Bao to eat.

Don't expect it to taste particularly delicious. Chu Danqing is not a professional; all she can do is maximize the medicinal effect and help Dabao absorb the medicine more fully.

As for Big White and Big Bone, these materials are not suitable for them.

"Brother Chu, isn't the number of so many divine beasts a bit inhuman?" Yang Qianyuan couldn't help but ask.

Chu Danqing then casually put the Vajra Warrior back into the space of the Eight Steeds Climbing Dragon Chariot Amulet before saying, "There will always be people who are beyond the norm, it's a small matter."

He couldn't really explain it, so he immediately changed the subject: "Let's go to Xuanyuan Temple and take care of them as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if we let these people live for even a minute longer, one of them might be killed."

Yang Qianyuan knew that Chu Danqing was changing the subject, but he didn't press the issue. Everyone has secrets, and he was no exception.
