Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 346 Chongde: The Five Pillars of the Nation Arrive!

A slender fox shadow slipped into the tent, and with a flick of its body, it transformed into a large, upright fox.

It stands nearly two meters tall, with an extremely wide and massive tail behind it, wrapped around a long halberd.

The most striking feature is the dense array of normal fox tails on the fox's back, totaling ninety-nine, which, when combined with the long tail, makes exactly one hundred.

"When I came here, I went to investigate the Taiyi Sect and almost got captured," the big fox said, looking at the owl general who was handling military affairs.

"I never exaggerate when I send messages." Paoxiao glanced at Cheng Disheng and said, "Since you, Gan Gehu, have already gone to investigate, how is Hong Shixun?"

“Hong Shixun was acting strangely. When we went there, he had already gone into seclusion in his room, which was sealed off so tightly that we couldn’t get in.”

"Unless I want to take direct action, I have no choice but to give up."

"However, I tried to appoint the four rulers and eight marquises he had conferred titles upon, and the one named Zhiming Jun was quite extraordinary."

“That’s where I gave myself away,” Gango Fox said, curling his long tail and sitting down.

Paoxiao nodded upon hearing this: "It is said that Shan Jun and Mo Gu Hao were killed by this man."

"You're lucky to have escaped with your life."

Upon hearing this, Gangohu's face changed: "Why didn't you mention this in your letter? I just had a brush with death!"

He was capable of killing Shan Jun and Mo Gu Hao. If he were in the Chongde era, let alone Gange Hu alone, even if the Five Pillars of the Nation attacked together, they would not dare to be careless.

"It was too late. I found out this information later, and by the time I wanted to send it out, you were already on your way," Paoxiao replied calmly.

He then added, "I mentioned in my letter that it was extremely dangerous and asked you to come to my camp to discuss things first. Who knew you would be so reckless as to dare to probe their secrets?"

Upon hearing this, Gangohu retorted confidently, "What I do is assassination, unlike you who have subordinates. It's normal for me to investigate."

The roe owl naturally wouldn't tolerate it: "So, having just escaped death, don't make a sound."

Among the Five Pillars, the strongest in one-on-one combat is Gan Ge Hu.

When the Chongde Dynasty swept across the great powers, it was Gan Gehu who infiltrated these countries to assassinate a number of high-ranking officials, political figures, and scholars of astronomy and engineering.

This led to various consequences, including administrative chaos and a lack of available personnel.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you about this. Where are the other three? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Gangohu knew that it was his own decision that caused this, and he wouldn't be in the right to say anything.

They dared not make a move, for there was more than just one Paoxiao General here; there were three thousand Paoxiao beasts present.

If you really provoke the roe deer, you won't be in good shape either.

Of the five pillars of Chongde, only Paoxiao was originally human; the other four were all strange demons.

Demons don't get along with each other, let alone the fact that the owl was originally a human.

"You little fox, you came quickly by yourself, while I, a locust and my nephew, naturally came a little slower." The buzzing voice turned into words.

Then a small swarm of locusts flew into the tent. These locusts formed a human face and floated in mid-air.

One of the Five Pillars, the Locust Immortal, has arrived, but only a negligible portion of him has entered the camp.

The real locust is now hovering above the camp, an endless swarm of locusts.

The Locust Immortal represents a unique collective consciousness within the Five Pillars, rather than a solitary individual.

"Where are Aguda of the Dragon Clan and the Bodhisattva of the Great Snow Mountain?" Gango Fox asked, sweeping his long tail across the locusts that were flying and jumping around everywhere.

"We're almost there. I encountered them when I flew over. We'll arrive in about fifteen minutes," the Locust Immortal buzzed in response.

Upon hearing this, Gangohu closed his eyes to rest and said nothing more.

It only opened its eyes when the ground began to tremble slowly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go out and discuss the attack plan." Paoxiao put down the brush in his hand, got up and walked towards the tent.

The small clump of locusts flew out first and disappeared back into the swarm of locusts that blotted out the sky.

In the distance, a hundred-meter-tall ice crystal Bodhisattva statue, its entire body crystal clear, strode over and then slowly sat down cross-legged.

With lowered eyelids and a kind expression, he chanted a Buddhist prayer. The bone-chilling cold caused the temperature to drop sharply, and the Xun River quickly began to freeze.

This is the Great Snow Mountain Bodhisattva, surrounded by seventy-two Frost Vajras, each with a robust physique, at least fifty meters tall.

After the Bodhisattva of the Great Snow Mountain sat down, they also sat cross-legged, looking as if they were deeply rooted in Buddhism.

The tremor that Gangohu felt came from the noise caused by the Bodhisattva of the Great Snow Mountain advancing.

As for Aguda of the Dragon Clan, he was a white bone dragon resembling a bipedal lizard.
It is said to be a mutated dragon skeleton dug up from the frozen soil of the north by the Chongde sorcerers, and its skeleton shows that it is extremely ferocious.

Therefore, it was named Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Later, he was awakened by the corruption of evil energy and transformed into Aguda of the Dragon Clan.

Although it is not large, only ten meters tall, it is not even as big as a mountain tiger.

However, if the mountain lord were to fight him, he would be torn to pieces by the dragon Aguda in no more than three rounds.

Dragon Aguda was not fighting alone; he was accompanied by hundreds of smaller dragons that looked similar to him.

It was only smaller, just over a meter tall, making it appear rather petite among the demons.

However, if we underestimate these little dragons because of this, they probably won't survive long.

These hundreds of small dragons swarmed forward, and apart from the Five Pillars, any demons of lower rank would die.

"How do we fight?" Dragon Lord Aguda bent down and asked in a rough voice.

The Bodhisattva of the Great Snow Mountain remained silent, making no sound except for the Buddhist chant he uttered upon arrival.

This is normal. Before becoming a demon, the Great Snow Mountain Bodhisattva was originally a hundred-meter-tall Buddha statue carved from ice and snow, and so are these seventy-two Snow Vajras.

Don't be fooled by their current dignified and respectable appearance; they are still demons at heart, and extremely ruthless when they take action.

Although the five pillars do not get along, they are all intelligent and know the strengths of the other four pillars and their own weaknesses.

In military and command matters, General Paoxiao can be considered the foremost in virtue.

We'll definitely have to listen to what the owl decides.

As for deliberately sending them to their deaths? If this fails, the roe owls won't fare any better.

The relationship between them has always been bound together by interests.

Rather than so-called feelings.

“The enemy is very strong, so it’s simple: the five of us will attack together and kill that Taiyi Sect Master Mingjun first.”

"The rest can be left to my subordinates," the owl said coldly. Apart from the cunning fox, the other three demons were somewhat incredulous, and even the Great Snow Mountain Bodhisattva opened his eyes.

"Is the enlightened ruler of the Taiyi Sect really that strong? Are you sure it's not that sect leader?" Huang Daoxian asked.

"Yes, if I hadn't escaped quickly, you wouldn't be seeing me now," said Gan Gehu, the only one who had ever been in contact with Chu Danqing.

What? Saying it aloud would damage its dignity and status?

It's neither human nor has any followers, so if it gets damaged, so be it.

If they were to fail because of this trivial matter, they would likely be utterly destroyed.

After hearing what Gangohu said, the remaining members of the Dragon Clan, Aguda, and the Great Snow Mountain Bodhisattva did not pursue the matter further.

The demons present were not joking.

"When will we make our move?" Dragon Lord Aguda continued to ask.

The location and people are confirmed; now all that's missing is the time.

"We'll launch our attack tomorrow at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), a surprise attack!" General Paoxiao said again.

Otherwise, we could just openly and honestly attack them during the day.

Why make things more difficult for yourself when you're already on guard during the day?

Wait until the other side is resting at night before attacking, catching them off guard.

As for the possibility that their own side has more people and might be stronger than the other side, that is not a reason for them to underestimate them.

"What are your opinions? You can speak now." After finalizing a simple plan, Paoxiao asked the other four demons for their opinions.

They didn't have anything to say and soon settled down to rest in the camp.

We've traveled a long way and are covered in dust, so this is a good time to recover and be able to move around better tonight.

"It's terrible, Fellow Daoist Chu, the Five Pillars have arrived!!!" Hong Xuanjiao rushed over to find Chu Danqing.

She did send someone to verify Chu Danqing's previous intelligence, but before she could verify it, she witnessed it firsthand.

After all, the commotion caused by the Great Snow Mountain Bodhisattva and the Locust Immortal was quite significant.

The personnel left to observe returned immediately to report, and then Hong Xuanjiao was completely dumbfounded.

That's really overkill.

"Oh, I see," Chu Danqing replied casually.

He already had this idea when the demon, who was suspected to be Gango Fox, came to investigate.

It's just that it's confirmed now.

"So what should we do next?" Hong Xuanjiao asked, her heart filled with anxiety, but she forced herself to suppress it when she saw Chu Danqing's expression.

Chu Danqing blurted out, "Easy, just kill them."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, how confident are you?" Hong Xuanjiao originally wanted to say that he shouldn't joke at a time like this, but judging from Chu Danqing's appearance, he didn't seem to be joking.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing pondered for a moment and said, "The Locust Immortal is a bit troublesome, but the others are not a problem."

The main problem is that the Locust Immortal is not a single individual, making him quite troublesome to kill.

"However, the battlefield is on the Xun River, so it can only be considered a minor problem at most," Chu Danqing said.

The 110% boost to all attributes from Pulaolongzi is no joke.

Hong Xuanjiao couldn't quite understand where Chu Danqing got his confidence from.

But all she could ask was, "Should we ask my elder brother to come out of seclusion and help us?"

"No need, let him go into seclusion." Chu Danqing didn't know what was going on with Hong Shixun, but since he had chosen to go into seclusion, it meant that it was a critical moment.

Interrupting him at this moment would definitely not be a good thing.

"I can just take Da Bao with me." Chu Danqing didn't plan to bring many people, lest the natives steal the credit and affect the quality of the treasure chest.

"Of course, if you're worried, you can prepare to evacuate first. If I fail, you should run immediately."

Chu Danqing could also see the other party's worries, but she didn't want to say them out loud.

Since she's reluctant to say, then Chu Danqing can just say it.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Although Chu Danqing did not think she would lose, after all, she had the Cat Goddess as her backup.

But having some kind of guarantee is good, it puts everyone at ease.

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, Hong Xuanjiao's face visibly relaxed: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away."

She was worried that Chu Danqing was too arrogant and self-righteous, thinking he was sure to win and wouldn't let her prepare.

If she wins, the worst that can happen is that she loses face, so it doesn't really matter to her.

But if we lose, everyone will die.

"Okay, you go ahead." Chu Danqing said, getting up as well: "I'm going too."

"They had just arrived, so I caught them off guard."

Chu Danqing's idea was simple: the five pillars of the kingdom had just joined forces, so they certainly wouldn't send troops immediately.

Even if it's not a welcome dinner, we should still discuss it.

Whether the sneak attack will succeed is another matter, but let's seize this initiative first.

Otherwise, if he waits until the demons make their move before taking action, Chu Danqing might not have the advantage.

"Huh? Aren't we going to make some preparations first?" Hong Xuanjiao was shocked by Chu Danqing's hasty decision.

"It's alright, I'll prepare the same things on the way." Chu Danqing said and then left.

What's there to prepare? It's just a matter of summoning Kumashibaka fifteen minutes in advance.

The Locust Immortal must let Xiong Zhigang's military force, the Master of Soldiers, deal with it.

After all, it was too scattered.

As for the remaining four demons, Guo Ming, Da Bao, Chunyang Tianjiang, Taiyin Xuan Nu, and Da Gu can handle them.
