Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 282 The Capital, the Imperial Dragon Great Sun Secret Array

As dusk fell, Chu Danqing was about to arrive in the capital, but stopped just before reaching it.

"What's going on?" Chu Danqing discovered that the capital was actually besieged.

Moreover, the clothing and the mythical beasts carried by those besieging the capital were different from those of Anaga no Miyako.

They seem more like people of a different race.

Chu Danqing had not anticipated such a turn of events.

Side Quest: Escort Yang Qianzheng into the Golden Palace within 1 hour.

[Trial Difficulty: B-Level (Warrior)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 5000, Attribute Points +3]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Point -10000, Forced Return]

Before Yang Qianzheng could answer, the Paradise Trial Mission was released.

He narrowed his eyes, not quite understanding why there was such a task.

However, since it is a side quest, it must supplement the trial quest.

While it's true that having a B-level difficulty level supplement a C-level difficulty level is a bit of a contradiction.

Chu Danqing didn't quite understand the current situation, but time was of the essence, so he immediately said, "Never mind, let's go to the palace first."

As soon as Chu Danqing finished speaking, the dragon horse rode on the clouds and wind, dragging the palanquin towards the largest building complex in the capital.

This action naturally attracted the attention of the capital's garrison commander and the foreign tribes, and both sides launched an attack simultaneously.

The alien races naturally realized that Chu Danqing was not on their side, and the capital's garrison commander could not gamble on whether this unknown person, Chu Danqing, harbored any goodwill towards them.

So they were caught in a pincer movement.

Fortunately, with the presence of the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden, the two joined forces to block all the attacks.

Yang Qian had originally intended to step forward and give orders to the garrison commander of the capital, but unexpectedly, he saw an attack as soon as he looked up.

This forced him to back down.

If his Purple Mansion Spirit Beast, the Jade Spirit Treasure Dragon, hadn't died, he wouldn't need to be so cautious.

The power of the spirit beast is enough to suppress the current situation.

"How dare you barbarians cause trouble in this vital capital!" A roar rang out as an old general held a pair of loyal maces.

This is a rare example of a plural type of weapon spirit beast. Although it is a pair of two, they are actually the same weapon spirit beast.

The veteran leaped into the air, and after a few moments in mid-air, swiftly struck at the flying palanquin.

However, the Pure Yang Heavenly General's heavy sword was faster, and it cleaved down towards the old general's head.

If that shot had hit its mark, the veteran might have been split in two.

Seeing this, the veteran general quickly raised his loyal mace to block the attack.

He managed to block the attack, but he was still cleaved down by the sword and fell to the ground like a heavy object.

"Do you know that person?" Chu Danqing asked.

"I've met him once; he's a veteran of three reigns," Yang Qianzheng said. "He retired years ago."

"I never expected to stay in the capital." Yang Qianzheng was also surprised.

“The Pure Yang Heavenly General held back; he won’t die for now, and should be able to provide assistance later,” Chu Danqing said.

Yang Qianzheng nodded, agreeing with Chu Danqing's statement.

As the eight steeds climbed the imperial carriage and crossed the city walls of the capital, they headed resolutely toward the palace.

This behavior has frightened quite a few people.

After the foreign tribes besieged the city, the officials of the court hid in the safest place.

That's right, it's the royal palace.

But now a powerful, unknown force has set its sights on their hideout; how could they not be afraid?

Therefore, protective measures were taken immediately.

A bright, clear barrier quickly rose up, enveloping the entire palace.

Within the barrier, a great ray of sunlight hung high.

"Absurd!" Yang Qianzheng couldn't help but curse, and said, "This is the Imperial Dragon Great Sun Secret Array, a spiritual treasure made with the souls of hundreds of dragon-like spirit beasts as the main material."

"One of the dragon souls will be consumed every hour. Once it is completely consumed, this treasure will be useless."

"The dragon souls within are accumulated by successive emperors since the founding ancestor. Each one is a precious dragon species, which is why it possesses such power."

"In the past, this magical treasure was used to expand territory; it was never used for maintaining the status quo."

The more Yang Qianzheng spoke, the darker his face became, as if he wished he could just rush in.

They dared not use it when the enemy besieged the city, but they used it to protect themselves.

"Should we just charge in, or do you have a way to break through?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Land down first, and I'll figure out a way to get them to open the entrance." Yang Qianzheng's face showed helplessness when he heard Chu Danqing's words.

Of course, we could charge straight in, but if we did that, the magical treasure would be destroyed once the formation was broken.

Chu Danqing did not refuse and let the palanquin be lowered to the ground. In an instant, a large number of soldiers surrounded him.

"How dare you! Don't you recognize me?" Yang Qian jumped down from the palanquin and immediately shouted angrily at the people around him.

Most of these soldiers were palace guards, and therefore had seen Yang Qianzheng before.

They looked at each other in bewilderment, and then someone knelt down and cried out, "Your Majesty, please forgive us." One thing led to another, and soon the commotion spread.

Yang Qianzheng slowly walked to the palace gate, and the guards at the gate looked at him uncomfortably.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's not that I'm unwilling to welcome you into the palace, it's just that..." The guard couldn't open the gate at all and could only watch helplessly.

"Nonsense! What Your Majesty? This man is a spy from the Shiwei tribe!" a stern voice rang out.

Then an old man dressed in purple robes, accompanied by a crane, slowly approached.

"When the late emperor was on his southern tour, he was killed by the rebels. The bones of the Jade Spirit Dragon had already been sent back to the capital. How could it have escaped?"

"This man is merely impersonating the late emperor to deceive everyone." A cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes.

Chu Danqing understood the other person's emotions: "Why aren't you dead yet? Why did you come back alive?"

Yang Qianzheng remained calm; he had anticipated this situation.

"I have indeed underestimated the audacity of you treacherous officials," Yang Qianzheng said. "Even with me standing right in front of you, you still dare to distort the truth."

Having said that, Chu Danqing understood what Yang Qian was about to do; he simply wanted him to take action.

With a gesture, the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mysterious Woman launched a combined attack.

With this single strike, visible cracks appeared on the barrier of the Imperial Dragon Great Sun Secret Array.

At the same time, a mournful cry rang out, and a dragon soul shattered instantly.

However, it was precisely because of the rupture of this dragon soul that the cracks in the secret array barrier were smoothed out and restored.

A look of horror appeared in the old man's eyes.

Even Yang Qianzheng, who was once at the peak of his strength, would need no less than dozens of strikes to destroy one of the souls of the Imperial Dragon Great Sun Secret Array, relying on the Jade Spirit Treasure Dragon.

These two divine beasts, whose origins are unknown, possess such immense power simply by combining their attacks.

Chu Danqing said that this was all thanks to the universal basic skill, Harmony Basics.

Yang Qianzheng was also shocked; he hadn't expected the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden to be so strong.

He had seen these two get instantly killed by An Wang before.

Based on common sense, An Wang is inferior to him, so from the perspective of the equation, Chunyang Tianjiang and Taiyin Xuannv can at most belong to the third tier.

Unfortunately, this common sense is a bit outdated.

"You, you, all soldiers, listen to my command! Quickly seize these three spies from the Shiwei tribe!" The old man immediately gave the order to the soldiers outside the palace.

But nobody moved.

"This old traitor is a traitor to the country, let's take him down," Yang Qian said calmly.

Upon receiving the order, the guards at the palace gate immediately captured the old man in purple robes.

The old man's spirit beast, the Chongxiao Crane, immediately protected its master.

As a senior official with high rank and power, his resources naturally far surpassed those of the palace gate guards.

Although the old man was captured, Chong Xiaohe not only saved him, but also instantly killed all the palace guards and generals present.

"You scoundrel, don't think you can deceive the world! Humph!" The old man snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

But as he turned around, his confident expression instantly turned into fear.

The emperor didn't die; he returned with powerful reinforcements.

To make matters worse, the new emperor they had supported had already ascended the throne.

There is only one solution now: let Yang Qian die at the palace gate, and absolutely cannot let him continue to live.

Moreover, Yang Qianzheng, who had returned after wandering around outside, seemed like a completely different person, making Yang Qianzheng feel inexplicable pressure.

"They ran away? What should we do? Should I just take action?" Chu Danqing asked.

Yang Qianzheng glanced around and nodded: "I'll leave the Imperial Dragon Great Sun Secret Array to you, and the rest to me."

He knew that it would be difficult for the two of them to stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, they are not the only ones here; there are other vital forces as well.

"Da Bao, you go with him." Chu Danqing instructed Da Bao to protect Yang Qianzheng, as the other party had no spirit beast and could easily get into trouble.

On the other side, the combined attack of the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mysterious Maiden continued to bombard the secret array barrier.

The mournful cries of the dragon souls rose and fell, each cry representing the shattering of a dragon soul, which reduced the power of the Imperial Dragon Sun Secret Array.

The core of the Imperial Dragon Great Sun Secret Array is these dragon souls; the more dragon souls there are, the stronger the secret array will be.

Da Gu, held in Chu Danqing's arms, also began to chant "Sorrowful Return of the Wind".

Thirty seconds later, Bei Huifeng landed on the secret array barrier.

Compared to the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden, who could only create a crack, the Sorrowful Wind's combo of two effects and four damages immediately created a gap in the secret array barrier.

Yang Qian, who was gathering his strength, was also drawn to the huge commotion caused by Bei Huifeng. When he saw this scene, his eyes widened.

Is this kind of attack something a spirit beast could really unleash?

The combined attack of Chunyang Tianjiang and Taiyin Xuannv was already outrageous, but the bone book spirit beast that Chu Danqing was holding was even more outrageous.

"We've broken through! Let's charge in!" Chu Danqing shouted to Yang Qianzheng.

The wound caused by the large bone was indeed healing, but it couldn't withstand the fact that the Pure Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mystic Maiden directly got stuck inside and kept widening the wound with their attacks.

Upon seeing this, Yang Qian immediately turned around, mounted the carriage, and shouted, "Suppress the rebellion and punish the traitors!"

In a short time, many people responded.
