Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 388 The Golden Sparrow Princess? Just a Wedding Dress
At the entrance of the Yunlong Sect, Shangguan Gang did not act immediately upon arrival, but instead, as usual, had a Yunlong Sect disciple inform Dugu Heng.

"Brother Shangguan, what brings you here today?" Dugu Heng asked warmly, quickly ordering food and wine to be prepared. His gaze then fell on Chu Danqing: "And this gentleman is?"

"Brother Dugu," Shangguan Gang said in a low voice as he sat down, "Yan Ben is dead."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Heng's pupils contracted, revealing his utter shock.

"What? How did he die???" Dugu Heng asked hurriedly.

"Last night, I was beheaded with a single sword strike, using the Cloud Dragon Sect's technique of parting the clouds to see the sun."

"The ones who made the move were the golden-patterned assassins from the Blood-Clad Tower."

"What do you think, Sect Leader Dugu?" Shangguan Gang stared intently at Dugu Heng, waiting for his answer.

"How could this be!" Dugu Heng immediately understood Shangguan Gang's meaning, which was simply that he believed that Shangguan Gang had done this.

"How could I possibly let someone kill Yan Ben? We are like brothers."

"Someone must have framed me," Dugu Heng immediately explained.

However, Shangguan Gang calmly placed the page of sword techniques on the table.

"Facts speak louder than words," Shangguan Gang said calmly. "Sect Leader Dugu, I wouldn't have come to you unless I was absolutely certain."

“Actually, I know a bit about the situation. Officer Shangguan, you may have fallen into a trap,” Chu Danqing said.

Shangguan Gang turned around and looked at Chu Danqing with some doubt: "Young Master Chu, please speak."

Princess Golden Sparrow, Chu Danqing, immediately recounted the whole story.

At this point, there's no need to hide it anymore.

Judging from the current situation, these three are indeed former officials of the Western Luo Kingdom, but they don't look like traitors at all.

"Impossible, Princess Jinque would never!" Dugu Heng immediately wanted to refute, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that he could not reveal his identity.

“Princess Jinque is kind and benevolent, and the three of us are loyal to the Western Luo Kingdom and have no intention of betraying it.” Shangguan Gang said calmly, “There is absolutely no way she would plot against us.”

His identity was already exposed the moment Dugu Heng uttered half a rebuttal.

Furthermore, Chu Danqing had already revealed their identities in his words, so there was no point in hiding it anymore.

"Are you sure this person is Princess Jinque, and not an imposter?" Shangguan Gang frowned and said, "When the Western Luo Kingdom was destroyed, the late emperor allowed the three of us to escape with the national treasury's gold and silver."

"First, we will enter the Central Plains and lie low, then plot to restore our kingdom in the future."

“The Central Plains are prosperous. Yan Ben took capital from the treasury to develop the area. Today, the gold and silver in the treasury have increased at least tenfold.”

“If we were truly after the gold and silver, why would we transport several cartloads of gold and silver to the princess every year to enrich ourselves?”

Chu Danqing was dumbfounded when she heard this: "You mean you not only doubled the money, but also sent money to Princess Jinque every year?"

“Of course, although the princess’s kingdom has fallen, she is still a member of the royal family, and she must still maintain some dignity,” Dugu Heng immediately said. “Every year, I arrange for my disciples to escort her there, so there’s no mistake.”

Judging from the current situation, things don't seem to be going quite the wrong way.

He had initially thought it was a case of former officials turning to the country for personal gain and betraying it, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"How many years has it been since you last met Princess Golden Sparrow?" Chu Danqing asked.

After a moment's thought, Dugu Heng said, "It's been about ten years. She was about ten years old then."

The others couldn't leave at the time; Shangguan Gang was climbing the ranks, and Yan Ben was doing business.

"After that, we only corresponded by letter and never met in person."

Chu Danqing was comparing the timeline with that of the Blood-Clad Tower.

The Blood-Clad Tower has been around in the martial arts world for about five years. Its rapid rise was not due to the high quality of its assassins, but rather because, unlike other assassin factions, the Blood-Clad Tower did not take high commissions; instead, it offered good benefits and treatment.

"If nothing unexpected happens, your Golden Sparrow Princess may be dead."

"She was replaced, and the funds that had been sent over the years were taken by this person."

"The Blood-Clad Tower might have been established by them," Chu Danqing speculated.

After he finished speaking, someone responded, "You've been out there for so long, you've grown quite a bit clever."

The female disciple who had been waiting stepped forward and, as she spoke, ripped off her human skin mask.

"Princess Golden Sparrow?" Chu Danqing recognized her immediately from her memory upon seeing her appearance.

Shangguan Gang and Dugu Heng jumped to their feet and drew their weapons.

"Who are you?! What have you done to the princess?!" Shangguan Gang demanded.

In Chu Danqing's memories of her identity, this woman was Princess Golden Sparrow.

However, these two former officials of the Western Luo Kingdom realized that this person was not Princess Jinque.

Clearly, Princess Jinque had already been replaced by this person before Chu Danqing met him.

"Lord Dugu, may you enjoy boundless blessings and peace." The fake man greeted him with a beaming smile.

Dugu Heng's hazy memories gradually became clearer.

"You are... the little maid who followed the princess back then." Dugu Heng remembered that when he went to see the princess ten years ago, the little maid who was the same age as the princess greeted him in the same way.

“Of course, but now I’m called Jinque.” As she spoke, Jinque tore off her Yunlong Sect disciple’s clothes, revealing a blood-stained robe underneath: “Blood Robe Tower, Tower Master.” As soon as she finished speaking, many disciples moved, drawing their swords on the spot and stabbing at the people next to them with lightning speed.

After killing the person, he tore off his clothes, revealing his blood-stained garments.

At some point, many disciples of the Yunlong Sect were replaced by assassins from the Blood-Clad Tower.

"Hand over the golden seal."

"After I restore my kingdom, you will still be my former subjects." Jinque completely identified herself as Princess Jinque.

“Sure, but there’s something I need your help with. Once it’s done, I’ll give you the golden seal directly,” Chu Danqing said.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Gang and Dugu Heng both turned their gazes to him, their expressions as if the real mastermind had made his appearance.

Shangguan Gang had long suspected that Chu Danqing had ulterior motives, but he couldn't find any clues.

Now it seems that following him to the Yunlong Sect was also part of Chu Danqing's plan.

"You?" Jin Que's expression was disdainful: "A third-rate person. If you weren't from a reclusive family, your mediocre skills would be nothing special."

"Hand over the Dragon Soaring Ten Thousand Feet Technique, and I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, with your meager cleverness, you'll suffer a terrible fate."

Chu Danqing seemed to have discovered something interesting: the original body might also be one of the Golden Sparrow's opportunities.

The opponent's body bears many traces of true qi from the six variant techniques of metal, wood, fire, earth, wind, and thunder. Combined with Qi's Frost Sky Condensing Qi Technique and the Dragon Soaring Ten Thousand Feet Technique, it is enough to bring about a qualitative change.

However, Chu Danqing replaced the original body, which changed the original path of opportunity.

"Damn it!" Shangguan Gang cursed angrily and attacked without hesitation.

Dugu Heng followed closely behind, and the two joined forces to kill Jinque and avenge Princess Jinque.

However, with just one palm strike, six different types of true energy burst forth, directly injuring the two and sending them flying back.

"This is impossible! How could you possibly have mastered the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique?!" Shangguan Gang spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Chu Danqing had heard of the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique, the top martial art of the Western Luo Kingdom's royal family, which required mastering nine different types of true qi cultivation techniques to achieve perfection.

Jin Que has now cultivated six different types of internal energy techniques, all of which are unique martial arts techniques from the Jianghu (martial arts world).

This makes the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique not only powerful but also rich in true energy.

"Da Bao, spare her life. I still need her to open the box for me." Seeing how useless these two were, Chu Danqing had no choice but to let Da Bao take action.

Da Bao immediately activated all three of his active skills, unleashing a blood-red rage that enveloped the entire arena.

Everyone except the golden sparrow paused for a moment.

Jin Que's expression changed drastically, and he immediately raised his palm to meet the attack.

However, Da Bao slashed down with his claws and stabbed the other person in the abdomen.

tearing~
The claw was pulled out, and the golden sparrow convulsed uncontrollably due to the excruciating pain in its abdomen, its whole body arched like a shrimp, clutching the wound in its abdomen.

Even though she tried to heal and stop the bleeding with her true energy, the residual power of blood rage prevented the wound from healing, and blood gushed out wildly.

After Da Bao dealt with Jin Que, the remaining Blood Robe Tower assassins, regardless of the patterns embroidered on their clothes, pierced through their skulls with a single claw, killing them instantly.

All the enemies inside the house, except for Golden Sparrow who was still alive, were all dead.

"Hand it over, and I'll take what I want. I won't touch the gold and jewels inside."

"If you won't listen to reason, I'll make peace with you, but Da Bao's claws won't be so forgiving," Chu Danqing threatened.

Dugu Heng struggled to his feet: "What do you want?"

"The Peacock Golden Seal can open things," Chu Danqing said. "However, you two have to give me the seal first."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and finally took out the remaining two fragments of the golden seal from their pockets and handed them to Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing combined the three gold seals together, turning them into a complete quest item.

"I can give you all the gold and silver in the treasury, I only ask that Young Master Chu destroy the Blood Robe Tower!" Dugu Heng's eyes were filled with hatred.

Restoring their kingdom had always been their obsession, but now everything was gone.

“A quarter of an hour,” Chu Danqing said. “Within a quarter of an hour, wipe out all the Blood Robe Tower members of the Cloud Dragon Sect.”

"I don't care about other places."

After saying that, the Vajra Warrior emerged from the amulet and began his sweep.

"Qian Yuan, go and keep an eye on them, make sure no one escapes." Chu Danqing said, and then sent Chunyang Tianjiang and Taiyin Xuannv to protect Yang Qian Yuan.

Yang Qianyuan nodded and led his men out.

He understood what Chu Danqing meant: kill them all without leaving any behind, otherwise it would affect the quality of the treasure chest.

As for the Blood-Clad Tower? It wasn't even worth their attention.

Even if the plan succeeds, so what? Without sufficient military force to suppress it, it will only benefit Chu Danqing.

In the end, all the scheming only made it easier for Chu Danqing to complete his mission.
