Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 334 Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand

The next morning, guided by the Heavenly Craftsmanship Compass, Hong Shixun quickly arrived at the Yonghua Society's headquarters.

As for why it was able to directly guide the Yonghua Society, it was because the Yonghua Society released intelligence when it was besieged by the Chongde Dynasty.

This information wasn't meant to get the rogue cultivators to rescue them, but rather to get all the Celestial Craftsmen to take away their years of Celestial Craftsmanship achievements.

We must not allow it to fall into the hands of the Chongde Emperor.

Chu Danqing didn't know what the others were thinking, but the brother and sister were genuinely there to save people, rather than plotting against the so-called divine creation.

Actually, this message was sent to other organizations that were also part of the Tiangong organization for collection, but it was leaked during the transmission process because of the Chongde Dynasty.

That's why it spread so widely, even reaching the ears of many independent cultivators.

Upon their arrival, they were warmly received by members of the Yonghua Association.

Chu Danqing briefly observed the base and found that the vast majority of the people there were ordinary people.

They were rescued from the demon zone by the sorcerers of the Yonghua Society, and after being brainwashed, they learned the truth and broke free from the control of the Chongde Dynasty.

The remaining members of the Yonghua Society were all high-ranking members of the society, including the Celestial Craftsmen.

As for how to resist the Chongde Dynasty, the answer is naturally the Tiangong artifacts.

Adding Qi during the forging of celestial artifacts will endow them with special power.

When used later, it still needs Qi as a guide to exert its full power, but if used by ordinary people, even if only one-tenth of its power is retained, it is still extremely powerful.

“You three have arrived at the perfect time. Our president is currently discussing with you all what to do next.”

"If we had come any later, we would not have been able to find us." The member who received them said this as he led them into a large house that looked like it had just been renovated.

After entering the room, a large number of celestial craftsmen sat on both sides.

Their clothing varied, including those of organized personnel with the same uniforms, as well as those of independent cultivators like Hong Shixun, who were dressed in ordinary clothes.

Upon noticing that someone had entered, the group glanced at the three of them with scrutinizing eyes before looking away.

Da Bao didn't sense any malice, but he certainly had other thoughts.

This put Chu Danqing at ease; at least these people weren't stupid, and they knew they couldn't fight amongst themselves at this point.

Soon someone arranged for the three of them to sit down.

Because we arrived late, we could only find an empty corner seat.

The three of them weren't too dissatisfied. Chu Danqing was mainly there to gather information, and the Hong siblings were there to help without giving it much thought.

The discussion continued, with most of the independent cultivators remaining silent, while the organized sorcerers were engaged in a heated discussion with the president of the Yonghua Society.

Their conversation revealed that they were not just arguing, but were genuinely working on developing an evacuation plan.

Furthermore, the entire plan is highly feasible to implement and is not some castle in the air.

The member who greeted them wasn't lying; if they had arrived any later, they really wouldn't have been able to find them.

This puzzled Chu Danqing. From the current perspective, there seemed to be no problem, but he had a strange feeling.

Something just feels off.

"Alright, I'll pass the word down. We'll depart in a quarter of an hour, as suggested by our comrades!" the president of the Yonghua Association said with great enthusiasm.

As soon as he said it, Chu Danqing immediately realized where the problem lay.

time!

He was fortunate to have the inspiration from the association president, which led him to find the problem.

The obvious question is: what makes Yonghua Group able to persist for so long?

From the time the intelligence was leaked to the arrival of numerous celestial craftsmen, it would take at least ten days.

To put it simply, it took the Hong siblings twelve days from their departure to their arrival in Xunzhou, even if they traveled by the Heavenly Crafting Machine.

You guys didn't even make a move during these twelve days, just stayed in the same place picking people up?
Given the disparity in strength between the Yonghua Society and the Chongde Dynasty, passing through the first seven days after the death of the deceased would not be a problem.

But here it looks thriving, and doesn't seem to have suffered much damage.

It doesn't look like a situation after an encirclement and suppression.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, do you have a strange feeling?" Hong Shixun asked.

"Of course there is, but something's not quite right," Chu Danqing said bluntly.

There's nothing to hide.

Yonghua will have problems, but Hong Shixun will not. We might even need his help in the future.

“I think so too. Yonghua Society seems to be too lax and not vigilant at all,” Hong Shixun also expressed his opinion.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing shared his own guess and said, "We should be careful. If anything goes wrong, we should leave immediately."

Hong Shixun nodded and replied in a low voice, "Alright, we will do as Fellow Daoist Chu says."

The four of them were newcomers and happened to be leaving, so they were like nobody else and no one paid any attention to them.

Half an hour passed quickly, and everyone immediately got ready to go.

According to the plan, some people led the way, some brought up the rear, and ordinary people were in the middle.

The grand procession set off.

Chu Danqing and his group were also assigned to a position where they didn't have much to do but guard and escort.

"The three of you, if anything happens later, if things become unmanageable, remember to prioritize your own lives."

A middle-aged celestial craftsman, whose affiliation was unknown, appeared to be carrying some kind of celestial artifact as he passed by them. His voice, though barely perceptible, was precisely transmitted to Chu Danqing and the Hong siblings.

The Hong siblings' expressions changed slightly, but they quickly composed themselves.

But Chu Danqing acted as if she hadn't heard him and continued to perform her duties.

He had anticipated this, and he was certain that all the Celestial Craftsmen who came to support him had noticed the anomaly.

It's just unclear why they didn't take action.

Chu Danqing arrived too late, so the Celestial Craftsman could only find an opportunity to remind her.

However, it is certain that their scheme was related to the Chongde reign. The evacuation proceeded largely as planned; no trace of Chongde demons was found in the area.

After traveling for about three hours, they entered the interior of a gourd-shaped opening.

Chaos erupted immediately.

Suddenly, mounds of earth rose up on the ground.

The mound of earth cracked open in an instant, revealing a half-rotten human figure inside.

“Evil Qi Living Corpses?!” Hong Shixun exclaimed, identifying the type of demons in the group.

As the dust settled, Chu Danqing was able to clearly see the appearance of the evil qi zombie.

They were a group of soldiers dressed in armor, their skin half-rotten, their bodies inlaid with weapons formed from evil energy and the craftsmanship of powerful nations.

The evil living corpse in front of Chu Danqing grinned maliciously, a long, thin, rotten tongue sticking out of its decaying mouth.

Unlike the previous headless corpses, the evil Qi living corpses are a regular army, far superior to the headless corpses in both combat power and production.

The personnel used for the evil qi zombies have specific standards; they must be young and strong men.

Unlike the headless corpses, who slaughtered an entire village and then used whatever they had.

Not to mention, the evil qi zombies not only need evil qi, but also need to be supplied with opium cream every day as payment.

The evil living corpse has a self, and is agile, incredibly strong, and fearless of pain.

"Idiot, you fool." Da Bao's claws, imbued with the power of bloodlust, tore the evil living corpse in front of Chu Danqing to shreds on the spot.

The regular army is really nothing special; even Chu Danqing could easily kill them by swinging the Moon Orchid Totem.

The average attribute of this group of evil zombies is around 17 points.

If Chu Danqing, an apostle with only 30 attribute points, can't win even with a total attribute difference of nearly 65 points, then he might as well give up.

This is without even considering the debuffs applied to the enemy; if the debuffs were calculated, the difference would be even greater.

The appearance of the evil living corpses did not catch the celestial craftsmen off guard; on the contrary, they were well-prepared.

Just as the group of evil qi zombies emerged, the various firepower generated by the celestial artifacts quickly suppressed them.

Only the Hong siblings were unaware of the situation and launched an attack.

As for Chu Danqing, because of the close proximity, the automatic attacks of the Five Elements Spirits and the Fire Elemental Spirits were triggered.

Therefore, his offensive firepower is actually very fierce.

Da Bao stood beside Chu Danqing to protect him, and did not choose to charge.

Besides the evil living corpses, a dense cacophony of screams echoed through the sky.

Upon closer inspection, the crows, now swollen to the size of humans, had their heads replaced with female heads.

"It's Crow Woman! Damn it, this is an ambush!" Hong Shixun's expression changed drastically.

Just because he saw these two kinds of demons doesn't mean that only these two kinds of demons came.

The only one capable of mobilizing such a large number of demons is likely the Mountain Lord.

"Relax, there's always someone taller to hold up the sky if it falls." Chu Danqing said casually, "Since you celestial craftsmen are confident in taking this path, it means they are prepared."

If all else fails, Chu Danqing is also tall; he can have Da Bao and Chunyang Tian take their place.

At first glance, they appeared to be surrounded and in a precarious situation.

But from the beginning until now, the Chongde demons have been completely suppressed by firepower, and our side has not suffered any casualties so far.

However, the number of demons is indeed large, and killing them all is a real problem.

In addition, the variety of species has increased, and there are many types of demons that even Chu Danqing has never seen before.

Chu Danqing did not act immediately for two reasons: firstly, there were no casualties, and secondly, he did not intend to disrupt the plans of the group of celestial craftsmen.

The worst-case scenario is that good intentions can backfire and negatively impact their strategy.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, you are the Peerless General,” Hong Shixun immediately reminded Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing followed the other's gaze and saw a demon, Wushuang, stuffing one evil corpse after another into its mouth, chewing them a few times before swallowing them.

Each time Wushuang General devours a living evil corpse, his body undergoes a wriggling transformation.

It appears to be strengthening itself.

Wushuang noticed Chu Danqing's gaze, suddenly opened her jaw, then tilted her head back and jerked it away.

A shell covered in corrosive slime was launched towards Chu Danqing's location.

Upon seeing this, Da Bao immediately stood in front of Chu Danqing, preparing to unleash the blood-red fury power formed by his tearing claws to strike the cannonball.

However, Chu Danqing reacted even faster, using the Five Elements Spirit and Fire Element to focus fire, causing the cannonball to explode while it was still in mid-air.

"Go and kill this bastard," Chu Danqing said to Da Bao.

Da Bao immediately obeyed the order, transforming into a bloody shadow and instantly slaying all the demons blocking his way.

This scene was too conspicuous to be noticed by anyone on their side, and even the demons of Chongde became alert.

Therefore, more and more demons began to converge on Da Bao.

It doesn't matter if they're not strong enough, just overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

The idea is good, but unfortunately, it's not so easy to overwhelm Da Bao.

Da Bao's health is still above 50%, which is not his full strength yet.

Furthermore, buffs such as Psionic Sword Dance, Storm Sprite's Joy from the Ring of the Elf Princess, and Rainbow Blue from the Staff of Rainbow Radiance have not yet fully taken effect.

In less than a minute, Da Bao charged up to the peerless general. Even though the opponent was much taller than Da Bao, it had no ability to resist him.

With just one swipe of its claw, it cleaved the peerless beast in two.

And it's not two halves horizontally, but two halves vertically.

Having completed Chu Danqing's instructions, Da Bao obediently charged back to Chu Danqing's side.
