Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 353 The Demonic Path - The Elegantly Dressed Taoist
With Yang Qianyuan's help, all the evil Taoists who had infiltrated the Taiyi Sect were exposed.

These demonic cultivators were generally not very strong, but each of them was covered by a fleshy shell.

It was precisely because of this fleshy outer shell that Da Bao failed to notice.

Furthermore, this fleshy shell is not simply a layer of skin; it can also read the memories and instinctive reactions of the person in life.

That's right, the flesh and blood shell is made by humans, and with all these elements combined, the demons' performance, if not flawless, is certainly quite meticulous.

As for the demon himself, when he was dug out, he was as thin as a little monkey.

It is precisely for this reason that they are able to hide inside flesh and blood to carry out manipulations.

This group of sorcerers all came from the same Chongde sorcerer sect, and this sorcerer called himself Huafu Daoren (literally "Taoist in Huafu").

The evil arts they practiced were all bizarre techniques involving changing one's skin and flesh; the so-called fine clothes were simply human shells.

Because they usually use various physical bodies and have never shown their true faces, perhaps only Emperor Chongde knew what they looked like.

"Where is your master? Didn't he come along?" Chu Danqing asked a sorcerer who appeared to be the leader.

The other person shook their head: "I don't know who it is."

This means that someone did come, but they don't know who the other party was.

After all, everyone present had received instruction from the Taoist in fine clothes and learned the method of changing skin and flesh, and had not seen their fellow Taoists for many years.

The key point of this skin-changing technique is not how to create a body, but how to put that body on yourself.

Otherwise, having many bodies is useless.

Therefore, a normal person will quickly lose weight and become shorter after starting to study, eventually becoming small and skeletal in shape.

"What about the plague?" Chu Danqing continued to ask.

"It was the plague seed given by Master, and it's inside the mouth of the body." The demonic disciple had little loyalty to the Chongde Dynasty.

The reason is simple: they claim to be disciples of the Huafu Daoist, but in reality, they are more like the Huafu Daoist's private property.

In any case, they didn't enjoy any benefits, were controlled, and ended up looking like neither human nor ghost.

The Chongde Dynasty didn't care about these evil Taoist disciples. Not only were their evil arts inferior to those of the ornately dressed Taoists, but the evil arts they learned were not even the complete version.

More importantly, their research and development capabilities are far inferior to those of Huafu Daoren.

Compared to combat strength, the Chongde Dynasty valued the development and research capabilities of the sorcerers more than how good they were at fighting.

Upon hearing this, a celestial craftsman immediately went to examine a body, and upon feeling inside the mouth, quickly found a tumor the size of a grain of rice.

He carefully took it down and handed it to Chu Danqing for inspection.

After glancing at it, Chu Danqing said, "Send it to the sect leader."

In fact, the plague problem was solved after all the evil Taoist disciples were exposed.

After all, the main cause was that someone was spreading it; otherwise, the plague could have been solved with the Heavenly Soldier Pill.

With no one causing trouble, each person can simply swallow a Heavenly Soldier Pill and recover on their own.

"I've confessed everything. Let me go. I will no longer serve the Chongde Dynasty," the sorcerer disciple hurriedly said.

Chu Danqing gave Da Bao a look.

Da Bao immediately understood and killed the demonic disciple with a single claw strike. He didn't stop there, continuing to kill one after another with each claw strike.

Until all the demonic disciples were killed.

However, no treasure chest dropped.

After scanning the area, he realized that if he wanted the treasure chest, he would probably have to kill the wicked Taoist priest in fine clothes.

These disciples are not qualified to fall.

The main problem is that they themselves are too weak.

All of its fighting power lies in its physical body.

If they put on the demonic body of a peerless general, they would be able to possess power equivalent to that of a peerless general.

They don't wear human bodies, but demon bodies.

However, these bodies are usually made by them using human labor.

I feel more at ease using a body I made myself.

This time they were carrying out an infiltration plan, so they chose ordinary people, which is why they were caught red-handed.

“One more is needed.” Chu Danqing looked at Yang Qianyuan.

Yang Qianyuan accompanied him throughout the entire process, and of course he knew that the Taoist priest in fine clothes had been overlooked.

"This evil Taoist is cautious; he only sent his disciple, and he himself did not come." Yang Qianyuan was also frustrated; they had killed everyone but found no treasure chests, and this was the only one missing.

It must have been a helpless situation.

"However, there is a very high chance that he will not give up, but will simply lie in the shadows and wait for the right opportunity."

"According to my divination, they will definitely come after you, Brother Chu, by tomorrow at the latest." Yang Qianyuan knew that the other party would definitely not let it go.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing was overjoyed, realizing that the man had actually delivered himself to his death.

"As long as they didn't run away, that's fine. I'm just afraid they'll give up at the slightest sign of trouble." Chu Danqing also noticed that these demons and monsters were all quite cautious.

There was none of the arrogance one might feel after gaining a significant advantage.

If it were Chu Danqing, who had been lording it over people for so many years, his mentality would definitely have gone awry long ago.

There's no room for any cautious thinking.

"By the way, the demon army is coming. Then," Chu Danqing shared the details of the trial mission with Yang Qianyuan, and then said, "can you do a simple divination of the heavenly secrets for me and give me some hints?"

Chu Danqing emphasized the word "simple".

"Okay, I understand!" Yang Qianyuan said, ready to unleash his full power.

Chu Danqing grabbed him and pressed him down, saying, "I meant the simple one, understand?"

Given Yang Qianyuan's character, how could Chu Danqing not know him?

Yang Qianyuan smiled sheepishly and said, "I understand."

After being exposed by Chu Danqing, Yang Qianyuan had no choice but to obediently follow Chu Danqing's instructions.

Then he started having nosebleeds.

It can only be said that Yang Qianyuan's simplicity and Chu Danqing's simplicity are completely different things.

Upon seeing this, as soon as he finished his divination, Chu Danqing gave him and the Prophecy Spider medicine.

The backlash from the Heavenly Secret was not severe, and he recovered quickly.

"Exterminate demons, forge precious swords, and let blood flow like a river."

"The new prophecy, at present, does not seem to have many problems."

"But considering the previous prophecies, the outcome is not optimistic," Yang Qianyuan said in a low voice. "A Pyrrhic victory is inevitable."

"My suggestion is that Brother Chu, you should figure out an escape route as soon as possible, or have Brother Guo and Commander Xiong come over to discuss how to handle this together." In Yang Qianyuan's view, the only option is to give up the profits and withdraw.

Either go all out and fight for high returns.

Compromises only result in lower returns and higher risks.

"Okay, I understand." Chu Danqing's thought was definitely the latter.

Since we're already here, let's launch a attack.

However, there's definitely no rush to summon it now. There are still at least five days left, so it would be a waste to summon it now.

"Then I'll take you back first, and I'll call you over again in a few days," Chu Danqing said, and then took Yang Qianyuan back.

It took 3 hours and a total of 3 amusement park points were used.

Next, Chu Danqing found a place to start cultivating and reading.

He didn't need to help with building the camp; he was, after all, a deputy leader.

Does he really think that the Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son gave him an empty title and that he has no real power?

If he wants to interfere, everyone in the entire Taiyi Sect will obey his commands.

Backed by his formidable strength and accumulated prestige, even the cult leader's words carried more weight than his.

No one even dared to question why he did it.

On the contrary, if the leader, the Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son, gave any unreasonable orders, they would be immediately rejected by all the celestial craftsmen.

Because everyone knew about his changes, but they just saw him as a tool.

In their eyes, Chu Danqing's unreasonable orders were laced with hidden meanings, while the unreasonable orders of Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son were clearly malicious.

Night fell quickly, and the camp was more than half completed.

The reason it's slower this time is because military defense projects still need to be built.

As expected, the Taiyi Sect will be facing off against the demon army of the Chongde Dynasty here, and improving the quality will definitely delay the project's progress.

Therefore, the celestial craftsmen and the common people, who were exhausted from a day's work, fell asleep quickly after eating.

After all, I have to get up early tomorrow.

Chu Danqing, on the other hand, continued to study the knowledge of the seven master skills with great energy.

Unbeknownst to them, a small figure silently slipped into the makeshift tent.

"Who are you?"

Da Bao's voice came through, and a look of violence appeared in his eyes.

He grabbed the short figure with one hand.

Chu Danqing turned her head and saw a very deformed strange person.

Its overall size is similar to that of a newborn baby, and it is extremely thin.

However, on top of his head was a head the size of a normal person.

And he looks like an old man.

“You must be the Taoist in gorgeous clothes,” Chu Danqing said, looking at the big-headed doll that Da Bao had grabbed.

Yang Qianyuan was right; the ornately dressed Taoist priest intended to transform himself into a flesh-and-blood shell so he could launch a sneak attack at night.

"How did you find me?" The Taoist priest in fine clothes struggled to break free from Da Bao's grasp, looking at Da Bao with resentment.

He was imbued with numerous evil spells and used a variety of methods, so how could he have been discovered as soon as he entered?

However, Da Bao completely ignored the question from the Taoist priest in fine clothes.

Why should he have to answer when someone asks him a question?
Da Bao not only didn't answer, but also tightened his grip.

Why did the Taoist priest in gorgeous clothes refuse to answer Chu Danqing's question?

The Taoist priest in the fine clothes felt a sense of pressure and suffocation.

"Da Bao, let him catch his breath," Chu Danqing said. "Tell me honestly, what other plans do you have?"

After catching his breath, the Taoist priest in the fine clothes looked at Chu Danqing and said, "There are no plans."

"My orders are to create chaos, preferably to cause problems within your ranks, failure is acceptable."

"The reason I was sent here is because I am the only Taoist priest in this area."

"We didn't come here specifically for this purpose."

"Whether it's you or your so-called Taiyi Heavenly King, in front of the imperial court, you're nothing more than a larger ant."

"Do you really think you can turn the world upside down? The reason the whole country is using its power to suppress you is because His Majesty is cautious, not because you are really that much of a threat."

"Even if your power were ten times stronger, it would still be nothing more than this," the Taoist in fine clothes said calmly.

Chu Danqing actually agreed with these words.

"So your being sent here was just a spur-of-the-moment decision made by the court in a cautious plan," Chu Danqing continued to ask.

“That’s right, killing me won’t do you any good.” The Taoist in fine clothes began to explain the benefits of sparing him: “I can act as your inside man and pass on false information to the court.”

"This will give you enough time to leave."

“Otherwise, once the imperial army arrives, your small group will surely be wiped out.” The Taoist in fine clothes knew that coercion was useless; only by demonstrating his value and offering incentives could he have a glimmer of hope.

"In other words, you have actually already passed on all the information about the Taiyi Sect to the imperial court." Chu Danqing realized this.

The Taoist priest in fine clothes paused, but finally did not hide anything: "Yes, including the matter of your sect leader forging a sword."

"The imperial court believes that although you are weak now, you still have the potential to threaten the court, so it will eliminate you at any cost."

Chu Danqing even suspected that the current Chongde Emperor was a treacherous and arrogant tyrant.

They either don't take action at all, or they eliminate any threat with all their might.

It's practically a diode.

"Thank you for reminding me. You can go on your journey in peace." After Chu Danqing finished speaking, Da Bao immediately crushed the head of the Taoist in fine clothes.

The Taoist priest in fine clothes died on the spot, and a fine-grade treasure chest with shimmering patterns appeared on his corpse.

"Not bad, it actually has shimmering patterns." Chu Danqing was somewhat surprised.

He thought that the best he could get was the "excellent" grade.

"Unfortunately, the excellent grade is no longer of much value," Chu Danqing sighed.

There is still a market for the Excellent grade, but the Superior grade will soon become the lowest grade.

Fortunately, Chu Danqing didn't intend to sell it; he had allies he could give it to.

Whether or not they need it is another matter. If the allies really don't need it, then it's not a big deal for Chu Danqing to sell it again.
