Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 278 The Unreasonably Powerful An Wang
"What happened?" Chu Danqing rushed over and asked, glancing around as she spoke.

Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie have disappeared. Tang Ziwei is injured, as are his Purple Mansion Spirit Beast, the Heavenly White Python, and his Peach Blossom Spear.

The men of the Yun family fared even worse; not only were they all wounded, but several had also died.

Half of the Vajra Warrior and the Dragon Horse were dead, but Chu Danqing saw the remaining energy of the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden.

This means he's dead too.

Fortunately, Yang Qianyuan was alright, and Chu Danqing had Da Bai treat everyone.

“It was An Wang Yang Qianjing who did it,” Yang Qianyuan said after calming down.

"Him? How could he possibly kill Chunyang Tianjiang and Taiyin Xuannv? And even at the end, he managed to kill half of the Vajra Warrior and the Dragon Horse." Chu Danqing's expression was full of doubt.

“It’s very strong, and ridiculously strong.” Yang Qianyuan said helplessly, “The spirit beast Moying Tianlong that King An refined is of the Heavenly Mystery type.”

"Combining the advantages of the Heavenly Mystery system, the first strike killed the Taiyin Mystic Maiden. The Pure Yang Heavenly General was fast, but after three rounds of close combat, he was caught out and killed."

"I suspect that it may no longer be the Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon, but a new evolutionary path," Yang Qianyuan briefly summarized the situation.

The evolutionary pathways provided by the Spirit Beast Chart were developed and explored by various geniuses and heroes themselves; they didn't fall from the sky.

Chu Danqing could also develop his own evolutionary path for the Heart-to-Heart Lotus, but with his current knowledge, it would probably take him three to five years to develop an evolutionary path of the same quality as the Reincarnation Nirvana Lotus.

Research and development isn't something you can come up with in a second, then suddenly have a breakthrough and produce results.

Indigenous people have an advantage in this regard.

"Where are Li Fengjie and Yang Qianzheng?" Chu Danqing took the opportunity to summon back the deceased Chunyang Heavenly General, Taiyin Mystic Maiden, and the mighty dragon horse.

"He was captured by An Wang, head north." Yang Qianyuan immediately pointed out the location to Chu Danqing.

As for divination, An Wang's spirit beast, the Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon, is also of the divination type, and is much more powerful than Yang Qianyuan's Prophecy Spider.

Not only will they fail to deduce information, but they may also be misled and countered by the other party.

It would be more accurate to just point out the direction.

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain, phew~" Chu Danqing exhaled a breath of stale air.

It seems that An Wang's target from the beginning was Emperor An Yong, Yang Qianzheng. However, his plans were always fraught with unexpected events, forcing him to take action personally in the end.

The other party should have been locating Yang Qianzheng after he escaped, but Yang Qianzheng had a powerful spiritual treasure as a protection, which affected the divination of the heavenly secrets.

By the time the Prince of An successfully found Yang Qianzheng, the Prince of Ning had already raised an army before him.

Celestial divination is not omnipotent and will always have errors and omissions.

"Brother Guo, let's go, we need to go rescue them," Chu Danqing said.

The fact that the trial mission hasn't failed yet means that Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie are still alive, or they might be dead, but the time just hasn't come yet.

"Go back and find Xiong Jinglue. He's currently in charge of the Prince of Ning's rebel army. Qian Yuan, you're a member of the royal family, so help him deal with it," Chu Danqing said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qianyuan looked slightly confused, wondering what he meant by "he would go and help."

He knew absolutely nothing about politics, military affairs, or any other related matters.

After all, he was not a powerful vassal king, despite being known as the Prince of Jiaoying.

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but Guo Ming had already taken Chu Danqing and Da Bao and flew away on their swords.

"Let's go, let's meet up with Xiong Jinglue first." Tang Ziwei didn't know who Xiong Jinglue was, but he believed that Chu Danqing wouldn't harm them.

Yang Qianyuan could only nod and board the Eight Steeds Dragon Carriage.

If they were to return the way they came by walking, it would take them an unknown amount of time.

Furthermore, among their group, only Tang Ziwei is capable of fighting. Without protection, he would likely not survive long enough to meet Xiong Zhigang.

Therefore, Chu Danqing once again left the Eight Steeds and the Dragon Carriage to them.

In terms of combat strength, Guo Ming is enough. If we can't even beat Guo Ming, then the Pure Yang Heavenly Generals are useless.

Guo Ming is a force to be reckoned with in terms of combat strength.

"Do you think this Prince An might be the same kind of person as the previous Emperor Taichang and Empress Dowager?" Chu Danqing said.

In the first-tier trial world, especially in a world with a clear upper limit, there actually appeared a powerful figure who could instantly kill the Taiyin Mystic Maiden and kill the Pure Yang Heavenly General in three moves.

It's probably going to have a level 3.

The base stats of Taiyin Xuan Nu and Chunyang Tian Jiang are at the limit of Tier 2.

Chu Danqing only understood this because Guo Ming could also do it.

“The possibility is not small, and this will likely be a tough battle.” Guo Ming said solemnly, “There is a very high probability that they are allies of the Apostles.”

Anyone with eyes can see how important this trial world is to summoning apostles.

Whether it's gaining growth resources or strategic benefits, it's the most suitable option for summoning apostles.

What Chu Danqing could think of, the other apostles certainly could also think of.

It's even possible that the plan has already been completed.

Otherwise, why would the King of An suddenly rebel?

This is because the output of strategic rewards is related to the sphere of influence.

"How confident are you?" Chu Danqing asked.

"We'll have to meet them to make a judgment, but it's alright, I've prepared quite a few consumables." Ever since encountering the Yin soldiers in the last trial world, Guo Ming had learned his lesson. Since his strength couldn't be improved too quickly, he decided to try a different approach: bringing a large number of superior-grade consumables as a supplement.

Due to park restrictions, these superior-grade consumables require notarization when given to Chu Danqing, but he can use them for himself without spending park points.

Therefore, they can do whatever they want.

As for giving it to Chu Danqing to help him use, let alone whether he knows how to use it, what if the amusement park judges it as actual use? Then we'll have to pay for notarization again.

He had considered using a lower-quality one for testing, but he would have to wait until Chu Danqing had more Paradise Points next time.

With this wave of resources he provided, Chu Danqing is estimated to have his entire fortune emptied.

Those one amusement park point were earned by Chu Danqing at great personal risk; they couldn't be wasted so easily.

"Alright, be careful later. Let's start with a wave of consumables to clear the area and test their skill level," Chu Danqing said.

In fact, Chu Danqing had another guess: that An Wang might not be an ally similar to Guo Ming, Xiong Zhigang, and Yang Qianyuan.

They could be attendants like the Queen Mother of the West.

The difference between followers and permanent summons lies in their permissions and independence.

Because of the contract, Da Bao is bound to Chu Danqing, so he is a permanent summon and can enjoy Chu Danqing's summoning bonuses.

The official name for a follower is "follower," and they are independent individuals who are not affected by summoning bonuses. They are more like apostles with secondary authority.

Followers can use equipment, perform notarizations, trigger quests, open treasure chests, and also have their own storage space, permission panel, and so on.

Some are even able to enter the trial missions independently.

However, the apostles have the power to mobilize and control all the Paradise Points and items obtained by their followers.

Neither Da Bao nor Guo Ming had these privileges with Chu Danqing; they could only follow Chu Danqing.

Therefore, the apostles who develop followers are not considered summoners, but rather team-based.

As for which system is stronger, that depends on the individual, not the system itself.

"It's him, isn't it?" Guo Ming said, pointing to a black dot not far away.

In his vision, the black dot was very clear; it was a handsome celestial dragon with scales as black as jade.

However, Chu Danqing's attributes were not as high as Guo Ming's, so his vision was naturally not as good, and he saw a little bit of a flaw.

"I can't see him," Chu Danqing said honestly. "Even if I could see him, I wouldn't recognize An Wang."

"I only know Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie."

"Anyway, King An's spirit beast is a Black Shadow Heavenly Dragon, a long black dragon," Chu Danqing could only explain.

Guo Ming looked him over carefully, then nodded and said, "It's him."

"No, he noticed me." Guo Ming's expression hardened. It seemed that he was indeed at the same level as him, at the 3rd rank.

“That’s normal. The Celestial Mystery system naturally has an advantage in perception and spirit. If someone is at the same level as you, they will most likely have additional talents and skill bonuses.” Chu Danqing was not surprised.

But the opponent's strength is definitely no match for Guo Ming.

"It seems he's sensed my strength and has started to accelerate." Guo Ming's expression remained unchanged.

The four flying swords—the Divine Queen Sword at midnight, the Great Auspicious Sword at 1-3 AM, the Merit Officer Sword at 3-5 AM, and the Great Chong Sword at 5-7 AM—were like accelerators, with streams of light bursting from their blades.

This caused Guo Ming's flying speed on his sword to increase fourfold.

"Holy crap!" The sudden push he felt almost made Chu Danqing vomit, but he managed to stop himself in time.

The main problem is that there's no food in his stomach, so if he vomits, it will definitely be stomach acid.

After accelerating, the distance between the two sides continued to close, and Chu Danqing finally saw what Mo Ying Tianlong looked like.

However, his focus was not on Mo Ying Tianlong, but on the two people he was holding in his claws.

It was Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie.

Above the head of Mo Ying Tianlong stood a middle-aged man, none other than An Wang Yang Qianjing.

The other party's gaze fell on Guo Ming, completely ignoring Chu Danqing.

"Brother Chu, you fly away, I'll go kill this fiend." After saying that, Guo Ming instantly transformed into a sword shadow and rushed towards Yang Qianjing.

Yang Qianjing smiled, as if he had anticipated this through divination.

Mo Ying Tianlong's figure transformed into a bubble-like shape beforehand, and the sword shadow pierced through, only to miss.

He then spoke up, "We're all from the same hometown, aren't we?"

But before he could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically.

The mournful wind of the Great Bone has ceased its lament.

They immediately identified Yang Qianjing.

He desperately wanted to dodge, but four flying swords had already silently arrived behind him.

To suppress his cultivation and slow down his strength growth, Guo Ming turned to strengthening his combat training.

Whether it's practicing moves or training sword techniques, they use the Guo family's top-tier equipment.

Having already gained an advantage from the previous divination, how could he possibly escape a second time?
