Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 395 The Dungeon, The Deposed Martial Arts Master

Jiang Tong narrowly escaped Da Bao's sharp claws and had to retreat several steps.

He never expected that this seemingly simple-minded person would be so powerful.

Even with his own perfected thirteen-level Eternal Calamity Technique, he was no match for the opponent.

If the fight continues, he will die at the hands of his opponent in no more than 15 minutes.

Jiang Tong could see from the current situation that the background of this man surnamed Chu was far more significant than he had imagined.

Otherwise, how could they afford to support such powerful guards?

"Young Master Chu, this is all a misunderstanding." He immediately spoke up, intending to explain.

However, before he could finish speaking, Da Bao's attack had already arrived.

He doesn't care what you're babbling about.

With a single swipe, a chunk of flesh was torn from his chest.

This made Jiang Tong wince in pain, and he turned around and crawled into the dungeon.

"Chase!" Yang Qianyuan said, then whispered to Chu Danqing, "Gather our forces."

Chu Danqing has never actually used the active skill "Gathering Righteousness".

However, Chu Danqing understood Yang Qianyuan's meaning. He simply wanted to trigger loyalty through the gathering of righteous people, thereby increasing the goodwill of the martial arts practitioners in the dungeon.

Chu Danqing didn't hesitate and immediately chose to activate it, then led Yang Qianyuan inside.

Seeing this, Tao Ya of the Plum Blossom Sect was not to be outdone and entered the dungeon with Chu Danqing and the others.

Despite being called a dungeon, it wasn't dirty or messy at all, and the ventilation was excellent.

All the weak-looking martial artists focused their attention on Da Bao, who was fighting Jiang Tong.

However, after Chu Danqing entered, some people looked at him for no apparent reason.

"Everyone, rest assured, with this Young Master Chu's help, the old thief is doomed to die today!" Tao Ya immediately chimed in, providing a helpful assist.

She was also among the indigenous people influenced by the gathering.

Therefore, the spontaneous gathering and protection of Chu Danqing was simply due to the skill's effect, and she did not notice anything amiss.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, many more martial arts practitioners quickly became original members of their own camp.

"Let's rescue all the seniors and young heroes first." Just as Chu Danqing finished speaking, Yang Qianyuan found the key to the prison door.

Chu Danqing distributed the key, and the three of them went their separate ways.

For every person saved, the key is split into two pieces.

One became two, two became four, and before long everyone was rescued.

Chu Danqing was actually wondering to herself that Yang Qianyuan's plan might fall through.

Putting everything else aside, these martial arts practitioners have all been crippled, with no extraordinary power left in their bodies.

Given this situation, it's unlikely they'll become a help.

"Young Master Chu, thank you very much." A middle-aged man, helped by Tao Ya, bowed and said, "Lu Jun from the Plum Blossom Sect."

“My martial uncle,” Tao Ya added.

“Senior Lu,” Chu Danqing replied, “Although you have escaped your prison, you are still in the Misty Hidden Manor.”

"It will probably be quite a journey to get out."

If these martial arts practitioners still possessed martial arts skills, not only would they not be able to get out, but Jiang Tong would also be beaten to death by them.

Unfortunately, they are now just cripples. Not only are they injured, but the food they have been eating in the dungeon for the past few days has barely kept them alive, and it also contains muscle relaxants.

With so many debuffs on them, they're practically as weak as chickens. Even an ordinary person who hasn't trained in martial arts could easily take them down.

Even if there are no patrols or guards at Misty Hidden Manor, it would still be quite difficult for them to get out.

Everyone knew about their situation, but no one had a good solution.

Just as Chu Danqing finished speaking, Da Bao returned carrying an excellent-grade treasure chest.

As for Jiang Tong, his body was so mangled it was unbearable to look at.

The martial arts practitioners were horrified when they saw this way of dying.

This is indeed brutal.

"Please calm down, everyone. My elder brother sent a letter on the day he rebelled at Misty Hidden Manor, requesting reinforcements," Yang Qianyuan said immediately.

Chu Danqing was completely bewildered; where did this person come from?

Yang Qianyuan immediately gestured to Chu Danqing: "Carriage."

Chunyang Tianjiang and the others were always used as guards by Chu Danqing and rarely left.

That's why Chu Danqing overlooked it.

After all, Chu Danqing had been building up his security.

“Brother Chu, the people should be arriving soon. I can’t mobilize those two, so I’ll have to trouble you to go ahead.” Yang Qianyuan gave a wink: “I will go with the seniors and young heroes.”

The idea is to have Chu Danqing go outside the dungeon and release the Pure Yang Heavenly General, the Taiyin Mystic Maiden, and the Vajra Warrior.

"Okay!" Chu Danqing immediately replied, then left the dungeon first and released the person from the talisman.

Before long, the group came out.

Upon seeing Chunyang Tianjiang and his group, the martial arts practitioners were all surprised. Their minds were filled with a multitude of thoughts regarding Chu Danqing's identity.

The family that could mobilize so many experts in such a short time must be incredibly powerful.

Could they be a member of the royal family? Otherwise, how could they be mobilized?

"I've instructed them to escort you all away from Misty Hidden Manor first. You don't need to worry about the rest," Chu Danqing said.

He naturally had no intention of leaving; he needed to stay here to activate the token.

Upon hearing this, Tao Ya immediately asked, "Young Master Chu, aren't you leaving?"

"No rush, I still need to stay here to stabilize this Misty Manor for everyone."

“Now that Misty Hidden Manor controls Azure Sea City, if it is not handled properly,” Chu Danqing said.

"Young Master Chu, you may not know this, but the other day, due to the perverse actions of the Misty Hidden Manor, public opinion in Azure Sea City was in uproar," Tao Ya said. "Therefore, the swords were not sheathed for three days."

Chu Danqing was immediately silenced upon hearing this.

What's wrong with Misty Hidden Manor? How did things get so messed up in just a few days?

"What are they planning to do?" Chu Danqing asked.

"The imperial court dispatched troops to quell the rebellion, but Wuyin Manor was short of manpower. So they resorted to conscripting soldiers and recruiting bandits."

"Later, imperial spies stirred up the people in the city, intending to disrupt the situation."

“That’s why such heinous acts occurred,” Tao Ya said softly.

"I understand. You all go first, leave the rest to me." Chu Danqing's expression was cold.

He thought the purge at Misty Manor was only targeting the powerful and wealthy, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless.

Seeing Chu Danqing say this, the group had no choice but to be taken away by Chunyang Tianjiang and the others.

After they had gone far away, Chu Danqing closed the gathering.

"If we wipe out all the main members of the Misty Hidden Manor tonight, we won't be able to wait until tomorrow," Chu Danqing said.

“There are probably not many family members left in the manor; those left behind are mostly servants and maids,” Yang Qianyuan said. “Their focus has long since shifted to Bihai City.”

“Not much is fine too.” Chu Danqing didn’t care about that and continued, “Consider it collecting some interest first.”

"Oh, right, and those spies too, they have to be killed as well."

"A bunch of short-sighted fools."

Chu Danqing understood perfectly well what the secret agent was thinking; he was simply trying to gain merit.

Chu Danqing did not object to them wanting to gain merit, but it was despicable to use ordinary people as a means to achieve merit.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Misty Manor would not cease its sword-wielding activities for three days indicates that it was not a simple provocation or enrage, but rather something far more radical.

Tao Ya probably wasn't entirely sure either, since her main goal was to rescue her martial uncle from the dungeon.

“Brother Chu is right.” Yang Qianyuan said, handing the two items Tao Ya had given him to Chu Danqing: “These two items are the opportunity.”

Chu Danqing composed himself; he was determined not to let his emotions dictate his thoughts.

The inherited skill is called Burning Flame Qi Cultivation Technique, and the equipment is the Blazing Flame Spirit Jade.

"A knock-off of the Frost Sky Condensing Qi Technique and the Ice Soul Jade." Chu Danqing came to this conclusion after reading it.

"So you're planning to put together a set and sell it along with the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique?" Chu Danqing guessed Yang Qianyuan's idea.

“That’s right. If we can gather all nine excellent-grade cultivation techniques and corresponding equipment required for the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique, I think it shouldn’t be difficult to achieve a Brilliant-quality one.” Yang Qianyuan didn’t hide anything.

"That's true." Chu Danqing thought to himself, "But to say it's the best, it probably wouldn't be. There should still be some brilliant-level techniques."

"Why don't we just go and get the Brilliant level directly?" Chu Danqing asked.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qianyuan said, "Brother Chu, don't you want to learn all the summoning skills?"

Chu Danqing couldn't help but smile sheepishly. That was definitely not the case; it was because it was impossible.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Brilliant-level cultivation technique should be the strongest inherited skill in this trial world, and it is very likely to be in Emperor Xi Huan's possession."

"It will most likely require killing him and accumulating enough resources to obtain a Brilliant-grade treasure chest with shimmering patterns."

"As for skill books transformed from secret manuals, I'm afraid it's not that easy," Yang Qianyuan said. "Furthermore, the ability to improve the quality of inherited skills is a pretty good gimmick."

"If I don't use a middleman and sell it myself, I might be able to make a quick buck."

The greatest martial arts master in the world is not some江湖人 (jianghu person, a person who lives and works in the martial arts world), but the emperor of the Xihuan Dynasty.

If you don't have enough power, what kind of emperor are you?
Aren't you afraid of having your head chopped off while you're sleeping at night?
"Alright, let's collect the excellent-grade ones first." Chu Danqing had only collected two-ninths of the items, and it wouldn't be easy to collect the rest.

After all, to fully unleash the effects of the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique, one needs nine different types of true qi, and they must all be of the superior grade.

Don't be fooled by how easily Chu Danqing obtained it; it was only because Yang Qianyuan helped intercept it. Otherwise, if any outstanding-level inherited skill were to fall into the hands of others, it would cause a bloodbath.

As Chunyang Tianjiang and his group of martial artists fought their way out, the peaceful Wuyin Manor became noisy.

However, this matter had little to do with Chu Danqing. Time passed by, and the time to activate the token was drawing near.

Activating the token also produces unusual phenomena, but these phenomena are not as pronounced as when it was acquired by absorbing the fortune of the great being.

Chu Danqing wasn't worried that anything uncontrollable might happen because of this.

"The time has come." Chu Danqing looked at the keepsake, the peacock feather, which emitted a faint blue glow.
