Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 391 Imperial Secret Agents

"The old demon from the southern border entered the Central Plains and slaughtered the Five Immortals Sect."

"The leader of the Sword Sect was destroyed by the Sword Forging Manor."

"The Seven Killings Martial Lord led 100,000 soldiers with the intention of rebelling and attacking cities and seizing territories."

"And the leader of the demonic sect has gone mad; he not only destroyed the sect but also massacred the entire city."

Chu Danqing looked at the latest intelligence in the martial arts world, and learned that these four people had stirred up a bloody storm in the Xi Huan Dynasty.

However, compared to the latter two, the first two are indeed a bit disappointing.

After all, the first two only wiped out a martial arts force.

The subsequent rebellion and massacre of a city had a huge impact.

Therefore, the former is currently fighting against the imperial army, while the latter is a famous martial arts sect that has formed a demon-slaying alliance and begun to hunt down the leader of the demonic sect.

The remaining two were condemned, but because of the precedent set by the outstanding figures, the affairs of the Southern Frontier Old Demon and the leader of the Sword Sect were quickly overshadowed.

As for Chu Danqing and the Yunlong Sect, there was absolutely no rumor about them.

If it were a golden sparrow instead, it would be breaking news.

It is roughly said that the Golden Sparrow Princess of the Western Luo Kingdom is the leader of the Blood-Clad Tower and plans to raise the banner to restore her kingdom.

This level of public interest should be able to withstand rebellion and massacre.

Unfortunately, the idea was nipped in the bud by Chu Danqing.

"If nothing unexpected happens, these four people should be from the opposing camp."

"My status is far inferior to theirs."

"But it's not without its advantages; I'm in the shadows, and they're in the open."

"Their status is too high, and their every move will be watched."

"For example, the Ring of Heaven." Chu Danqing looked at the latest intelligence.

Some say that these four people experienced strange phenomena when they were involved in the massacre of the Five Immortals Sect, the Sword Casting Manor, the Great Sun Temple, and the Qi Sea Temple.

These extraordinary phenomena were four divine lights—black, white, red, and yellow—that shot straight into the sky.

Because of this incident, the Azure Light Soaring to the Sky technique of the Yunlong Sect was also exposed.

Some people investigated and found that the Yunlong Sect had no similarities to the four sects that were wiped out, except for the azure light soaring into the sky.

The simplest point is that the Yunlong Sect is still alive.

As for the Yunlong Sect, it was also severely damaged; that was done by the Blood-Clad Tower.

The problem is that the Blood-Clad Tower was wiped out.

This is equivalent to the Yunlong Sect turning the tables and killing their opponent.

There was also a young master surnamed Chu who was overlooked.

Because the Yunlong Sect and even Jingyang City simply cannot find this person.

And then the matter was left unresolved.

The Yunlong Sect gradually faded from view. After all, the entire Yunlong Sect had been thoroughly searched, and apart from a large sum of gold and silver, the only surprising thing was that the sect leader was a former official of the Xiluo Kingdom.

This also explains the origin of the large sums of gold and silver.

It cannot be said to be flawless, but the important interests do not lie with the Yunlong Sect.

The main reason was that Chu Danqing was fast; he arrived in Bihai City from Jingyang City in just one day.

Since no trace of them had been discovered on the way, there was no need to worry about the future.

"To be honest, there are some flaws," Chu Danqing said, looking at Da Bao who was cultivating.

Da Bao is the biggest weakness.

From the very beginning, Chu Danqing's defining characteristic was Da Bao.

Otherwise, if he were alone, the chances of him being recognized would be extremely slim.

"But I didn't deliberately hide it. Even if they find out, it's not a big deal." Chu Danqing was just taking advantage of his identity when the opportunity arose, so it's normal for his whereabouts to be exposed.

He won't waste this advantage, but he also won't deliberately hide like a rat in the gutter.

Ultimately, hard power is the key; underhanded tactics are simply not effective against enemies in opposing camps.

One dared to rebel, another dared to massacre a city, and the remaining two simply didn't have the opportunity to do so, which doesn't mean they couldn't.

"Master, Misty Hidden Manor has sent you a reply letter, along with an invitation." The hired steward entered and handed two invitations to Chu Danqing.

When Chu Danqing opened it, the contents were all polite greetings and expressions of welcome.

However, he didn't care; his real purpose was the birthday banquet invitation.

It's never wrong to be overly polite, so Chu Danqing sent a visiting card to Wuyin Manor this morning, saying he wanted to pay a visit.

The Misty Mountain Villa sent a formal invitation, but stated that they were busy preparing for their ancestor's birthday banquet and were simply unable to attend to the guests.

So they sent an invitation directly, indicating that it would be changed to the birthday banquet.

Chu Danqing had anticipated this.

"Okay, I understand." Chu Danqing accepted the reply and invitation and made proper arrangements.

"The Misty Manor has sent you an invitation, sir. Would you like to prepare some birthday gifts? It wouldn't be proper to arrive empty-handed," the steward hurriedly said.

Chu Danqing nodded: "Okay, go to the account and get the money to prepare. Don't embarrass me. If you don't have enough money, come to me."

He originally planned to bring a modern craft product to their door, but then he thought that if he really brought it there, it might not be taken seriously.

Let's just follow the local customs when making the arrangements.

"Yes, sir." The steward replied and left. "I will first make a list for your review, sir."

He's a professional, so he naturally understands the procedures for birthday celebrations.

Otherwise, if Chu Danqing hires him with money, and he can't do this or that, he'll not only embarrass Chu Danqing, but also ruin his own reputation.

After all, he was hired temporarily, and Chu Danqing did not intend to rent him for a long time; he would have to continue looking for work.

They dared not harbor any ulterior motives. Before they came, the brokers had warned them that the people living here were of extraordinary status and power. Not to mention them, even the brokers could be easily crushed by them.

After the steward left, Chu Danqing continued to review the intelligence. "The patriarch of Misty Hidden Manor is celebrating his birthday and has invited many people from all walks of life. These days, Azure Sea City is also a mixed bag."

Chu Danqing noticed that the crime rate in the city had increased significantly recently.

In Chu Danqing's view, so-called "jianghu people" were inherently unstable factors.

He doesn't deny that true heroes exist, but such people are as rare as protected animals.

Most of them are actually gang variants.

"I hope things can return to normal after the birthday banquet," Chu Danqing muttered.

Otherwise, it's just ordinary people who will suffer.

The imperial court is also actively maintaining order to prevent the impact from becoming too great.

It's only been a few days, and they've already arrested wave after wave of江湖 (jianghu) figures.

However, this action has made the conflict between the imperial court and the martial arts world somewhat acute in this Bihai City.

Fortunately, it did not affect ordinary people too much; most of the unfortunate ones were wealthy families in the city.

Otherwise, if it were just an ordinary person who was unlucky, the imperial court wouldn't bother to care.

People in the underworld also understand that ordinary people don't get any benefits.

"Go and take care of it, then bury it in the back garden," Chu Danqing said softly.

On the rooftop, some young hero, whose identity is unknown, was scaling the rooftop with incredible speed and agility.

Judging from their appearance, they must have been watching him and came here specifically to pick up something.

As they were talking, they saw a person dressed in black nimbly leap into the storeroom behind his house.

She was clearly planning to borrow some money from him to spend.

Chu Danqing had no intention of lending the money, not to mention that the manager was currently in the warehouse settling accounts.

There's a possibility of being robbed, but more likely it's that they were murdered to silence them.

Da Bao rushed over to handle the situation immediately.

This wasn't the first time Chu Danqing had encountered this situation, so she handled it with ease.

After Da Bao left, several men in black simply pushed the door open and entered.

"Young Master Chu, it's truly not easy to see you," said the leader of the men in black.

Clearly, that person was bait, deliberately luring Da Bao away.

"If you want money, go somewhere else," Chu Danqing said impatiently.

He had also experienced the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

The body was also buried in the back garden.

"Money? Ha, hand over the token, and we'll leave immediately," the man in black said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing finally mustered his strength and said, "The old demon of the Southern Frontier, the leader of the Sword Sect, the Seven Kill Martial Lord, and the leader of the Demonic Sect, they should all have it on them, so why are they looking for me?"

These words left all the men in black speechless. It was obvious that those four were not ordinary people to be trifled with.

When choosing a persimmon, you pick the softest one; if not an insignificant nobody like you, who else would you choose?

"But you really did surprise me. How did you find me? I remember I'm a very low-key person, right?" Chu Danqing asked.

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences, humph!" The man in black didn't intend to answer Chu Danqing's question and prepared to attack directly.

They didn't want to face Da Bao.

The next moment, a burly man blocked the way.

They didn't know when they appeared.

The burly man simply reached out and punched the first man in black to get close, smashing his head in two.

"Leave the leader alive and interrogate him thoroughly to extract the questions I need," Chu Danqing said to the Vajra Warrior.

The Vajra Warrior remained silent, only relentlessly pounding his fists on the man in black.

The punches were powerful and heavy; none could withstand them.

At this moment, the black-clad leader realized that this was no pushover at all, but a powerful figure no less formidable than the other four.

He groaned inwardly and immediately turned and fled.

But at the entrance, a burly man of similar stature stood blocking his way.

With a determined look, he immediately revealed his identity.

"Stop! The Human Team is an intelligence agent under orders to investigate. Any reckless action will be considered treason!" The man in black immediately produced a token.

Then he was pinned down by the Vajra Warrior.

The remaining men in black were all killed, one by one.

He was dragged to Chu Danqing's side like a dead dog.

"Tell me, how did you find me?" Chu Danqing didn't care about the other party's identity.

Seeing that he had escaped with his life, the other party said, "It's a travel permit."

“You once stayed at an inn in Jingyang City. We will conduct a comprehensive search centered on Jingyang.”

“I was assigned to Bihai City, and I saw your name at the brokerage firm, so I followed the clues to find you.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing realized it made sense. The imperial court must know about the situation of the Heavenly Ring, and those four were tough opponents, so only forceful measures could be taken.

On the contrary, Chu Danqing was completely unknown, so they sent a secret agent to investigate him.

The secret agent conducted a thorough search based on sheer numbers, and he actually found it.

Chu Danqing continued to inquire, and there was also good news.

That means only this one secret agent team knows his whereabouts.

“I will send a secret letter every seven days. If the letter does not arrive, the court will definitely find out. You release him—” Before the spy could finish speaking, Chu Danqing signaled the Vajra Warrior to break his neck.
