Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 357 Demons, Monsters, Birds, and Beasts Scatter

During her conversation with Sun Lide, Chu Danqing discovered something.

That is, the unknown apostle was not one of the same batch of apostles as him, but rather arrived much earlier.

The Tongxin Alliance was formed by the other party and has been in existence for over a year.

Chu Danqing has been here for less than a month.

That's why the other side was able to develop such a large alliance.

This makes much more sense; otherwise, if such a powerful force could really develop in just one month, how outrageous would that apostle be?

"Gentlemen, now that this matter is settled, we must take our leave," Sun Lide said.

It was unrealistic to completely annihilate the demon army, but after a day and a night of continuous slaughter, the demon army eventually collapsed in morale and fled.

Most of the high-level demons were wiped out; those who managed to escape were the largest group of low- and mid-level demons.

In addition, a large number of sorcerers also died in the war.

However, Chu Danqing believed that the Chongde Dynasty's vital forces had not yet been extinguished.

None of the evil Taoist priests who died were core members.

"Thank you very much, Alliance Leader Sun. May I ask where you plan to go?" Chu Danqing asked.

Sun Lide instinctively wanted to say "go to Tianjing," but he swallowed the words halfway through.

“Continue to rescue the people and further improve upon the achievements of the Heavenly Craftsmanship left behind by the Vice Alliance Leader.” Sun Lide was not lying.

That was his plan, and he headed all the way to Tianjing.

The process itself didn't lie; it just concealed the ultimate goal.

"Then you all need to be careful. I think the Chongde Emperor is not as simple as he seems." Chu Danqing warned, "The Chongde Emperor has two dogs under his command: demons and sorcerers. We can only say that we have crippled one of them."

"The threat posed by the demonic path is probably no less than that of this million-strong demon army."

Chu Danqing did not doubt Sun Lide's words, but his achievements were even more dazzling than Chu Danqing's, and the Chongde Dynasty would definitely not let them go.

The Five Pillars could only flee in the face of a million-strong demon army, yet the Tongxin Alliance was able to defeat them, which is enough to show their strength.

Sun Lide took Chu Danqing's reminder to heart: "I will definitely not let my guard down."

“Then we will go ahead. When we overthrow Chongde and exterminate all the demons, I will definitely invite the Vice Leader to drink for three days and nights.”

After saying this, Sun Lide cupped his hands in greeting and led his men back into the pass.

With the return of all members of the Tongxin Alliance, the massive pass slowly began to activate.

Continue moving slowly in the originally planned direction.

"They also seem to want to go to Tianjing," Yang Qianyuan said softly.

After being reminded like this, Chu Danqing guessed what the other party was thinking.

"Ignore them. Even if I spoke, they wouldn't listen." After realizing this, Chu Danqing did not choose to stop them.

The Tongxin Alliance has its own principles, and the two sides are not exactly on the same page; at most, they can only be considered to share the same interests.

If we were to try to persuade them, it would seem more like we were interfering in their internal management.

As for the possibility of something going wrong, there's no such thing as a risk-free experience. Chu Danqing almost failed his trial himself.

"Where are the items? Do you have them?" Chu Danqing asked.

He was referring to the treasure chest, of course.

However, he didn't have high hopes for the treasure chest this time.

The credit for defeating the demon army basically went to the Tongxin Alliance; the number of demons they killed was a drop in the ocean compared to the Tongxin Alliance's numbers.

He was worried that if his contribution was too low, he might not even get a treasure chest.

"I'll go take a look." Guo Ming quickly flew off on his sword to search for it.

On the other side, Hong Xuanjiao also arrived despite her injuries, and asked, "Should we continue the westward expedition?"

In her view, the Tongxin Alliance was so powerful that it was enough to overthrow the Chongde Dynasty, and there was no need for them to continue interfering.

"We still need to continue, but we should keep a backup plan," Chu Danqing said. "If the Tongxin Alliance wins, everyone will be happy."

"It's better to be safe than sorry in these kinds of situations."

He wasn't very optimistic about the Tongxin Alliance.

It has great advantages, but also great disadvantages.

“But how can we continue forging swords? Most of the demons have dispersed.” Hong Xuanjiao’s tone was helpless.

After this indiscriminate slaughter, the remaining demons were absolutely terrified and had no idea where to escape to.

While the difficulty of killing has decreased, the difficulty of chasing has increased.

"The only solution is to talk to the cult leader; there's nothing I can do about it."

“Immortal Qi is more mysterious than Yang Qi. Perhaps the sect leader can think of a solution,” Chu Danqing said.

Yang Qi is a new type of Qi developed by the Tongxin Alliance based on Qi. It is precisely because it is equipped with Yang Qi that the Tongxin Alliance's Heavenly Craftsmanship is so powerful.

Chu Danqing also received a manual on Yang Qi, and in return, he gave the other party a manual on summoning spirits, but with some instructions on the key points.

Sun Lide accepted the gift and said that if Taiyi Tianwang got out of control, he could send a message to them so they could handle it.

The sorcerers believed more in themselves and the magical artifacts they possessed than in the supernatural.

"Does Fellow Daoist Chu lack confidence in Alliance Leader Sun and his group?" Hong Xuanjiao immediately asked.

"No, I have confidence in that fellow villager I've never met." Chu Danqing trusted the apostle who was proficient in mathematics, physics, and chemistry even more. The other party had most likely guessed the dual-track Paradise path.

Especially since the other party has already returned.

“Okay then.” Hong Xuanjiao didn’t know the source of Chu Danqing’s confidence, but she respected Chu Danqing’s choice.

So far, Chu Danqing has not made a mistake.

Hong Xuanjiao's idea is wrong; Chu Danqing has made mistakes several times already.

The biggest mistake was the misjudgment of the divine summoning technique, but it was precisely because of this that the Taiyi Sect was not destroyed.

Without the Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son to block the Evil Yang Bullet, the Taiyi Sect wouldn't have even been able to wait for the demon army to besiege them.

It was a case of making the best of a bad situation.

"How is the leader? Has he woken up?" Chu Danqing asked.

"According to the person monitoring him, he woke up around midnight last night and started healing himself," Hong Xuanjiao said. "He's recovering very quickly, and he might be back to normal by tomorrow."

"It's just that because the power of the Heavenly King Taiyi has declined, the production of Heavenly Soldier Pills and Heavenly General Talismans will probably have to be reduced in the near future."

The production cut was within Chu Danqing's expectations.

"Perfect timing. Let's rest and recuperate first, gather enough food, and then set off. By then, the leader should have recovered considerably."

"The forging of the sword cannot be rushed." Chu Danqing knew that plans simply cannot keep up with changes.

The Chongde Dynasty developed too fast; the immortal energy had only been around for a short time, yet they were already using it for military purposes.

It can only be said that the Chongde era truly produced a great number of talented people, especially in recruiting a wide range of extraordinary individuals, turning a bunch of messy and abstract sorcerers into terrifying technology.

The people in this trial world share a similar omnipotent nature with the people in the ancient trial world of Cangmang Ancient Ridge.

If a corpse from the Cangmang Ancient Ridge were brought to this trial world, combined with evil energy, and sent back to the original trial world, it might become an unparalleled demonic corpse.

Chu Danqing could only say that humans in some worlds shouldn't be too omnipotent and too overpowered when used as materials.

"Okay, I'll go take care of it first." Hong Xuanjiao replied and then led her people back.

As for Chu Danqing, she was waiting for Guo Ming to return.

About half an hour later, Guo Ming returned with an excellent-grade treasure chest with shimmering patterns.

"Found it, but we don't know what kind of demon dropped it." Guo Ming's first words upon returning were good news.

"It's alright, as long as we have one. I thought we wouldn't even have a treasure chest given our contributions." Chu Danqing wasn't a greedy person, especially since it had shimmering patterns.

Actually, it's already a miracle that this trial mission was able to proceed.

There are at least a million demons; this is simply beyond his ability to deal with.

As for inviting the Goddess of Cats, as Yang Qianyuan said before, even if you don't invite her, you still have a chance to complete the trial.

After consulting a doctor, it's almost certain that the failure was chronic.

Unless Chu Danqing summons the Cat Goddess a second time during this trial, she will not only respond but also obey Chu Danqing's commands.

Chu Danqing was confident she could do it, but the price was a basic skill selection.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it, but rather it was a matter of its nature.

Gifting and offering are two completely different relationships.

Chu Danqing wanted the Cat Goddess to help willingly, so that they could become equal partners, rather than him becoming the other's subordinate.

If you really have to pay a price to get the other party to do something, the priorities will inevitably be reversed in the future.

Therefore, he won't do this unless it's a critical moment.

The Goddess of Cats must know the benefits of the training room.

It's unrealistic to talk about friendship at this stage; we need to bind them with mutual benefits first, letting them know they can't live without our platform.

Only then can there be follow-up, instead of giving nice things as soon as you meet.

Do you really think that just because the Goddess of Cats has the word "goddess" in her name, Chu Danqing has to become a simp?

The Paradise Points consumed in the training room are vastly different in value from a basic skill selection.

"I'll take you all back to rest first. I'll contact you if you need anything." Chu Danqing saw the exhaustion on everyone's faces and knew that this battle had been difficult.

The group readily agreed, and Chu Danqing sent them back.

[You have returned Covenant Targets 1, 2, and 3. The rationalization of the repatriation has been completed. Duration of this operation: 26 hours. Cost: Paradise Points × 40612]

"Forty thousand, sigh. I hope that when I reach level 2, summoning Guo Ming to help will still result in such a high energy consumption." Chu Danqing sighed.

He certainly hoped that Guo Ming could break through to the fourth tier, but now, the hope was very slim.

Even Guo Ming himself wasn't confident, so he stopped suppressing his cultivation and growth.

"But it is indeed expensive. I have only earned 180,000 so far, and they took more than a quarter of the amusement park points with me." Chu Danqing couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It really costs money like water, but it's worth it to get a Superior-grade treasure chest with a shimmering pattern.

The amusement park points and equipment you acquire can not only break even, but also generate a profit.

As for the possibility that it might be a grey market product? That's definitely not the case.

Their overall contribution was low, but that doesn't mean they killed few enemies.

Without going into too much detail, if their kill count contributes to 5% of the total, the dropped item won't just be a Superior Chest with Shining Patterns; it might just become a Destiny Chest.

The number one million is just a figure of speech; it doesn't mean there are actually only one million demons. In reality, the number is likely much higher.
