Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 404 Nine Clouds Night-Shining Cup

The case of the theft of the Jiuyun Luminous Cup was quickly closed.

The thief was none other than the Flying Rat, a notorious figure in the martial arts world.

As for the stolen Nine Clouds Luminous Cup, it was also found and returned to the Prince's Palace Treasury intact for worship.

The Flying Spirit Mouse was executed that very day.

This efficiency left Chu Danqing completely stunned.

However, it's a good thing that things are over.

Chu Danqing will be able to go to Tianfu tomorrow.

He didn't bring this up; it was the Prince of Zhennan who asked him to go.

At night, Chu Danqing packed some luggage. Actually, there wasn't much to pack; it was mainly to avoid attracting attention.

“Xiao Chu, there’s someone.” Da Bao tugged at Chu Danqing’s sleeve and said.

"Who are they?" Chu Danqing understood, of course, that the "people" Da Bao was referring to were not the people from the Prince's Mansion, but rather people with ulterior motives.

"I don't know, no, no malice." Da Bao only sensed that they were strangers, but he didn't know who they actually were.

All that is known is that this person has no ill intentions towards Chu Danqing.

"Maybe, just passing by," Da Bao also offered his guess.

Before Chu Danqing could speak, Da Bao suddenly fell silent and pointed to the roof.

It means they passed by their rooftops.

Chu Danqing quickly constructed a rough structural diagram of the Prince's Mansion in his mind.

If the other party moves in a straight line, then the location between the two points is the treasure vault and the entrance.

"Let's go," Da Bao finally said, "Are you coming with me?"

"Let's go, follow them and see who it is that can so easily enter and leave the Prince's mansion," Chu Danqing said immediately.

After saying that, Da Bao took Chu Danqing with him and then, in a stealthy manner, silently went up to the roof.

The other person walked silently, and Da Bao did the same.

This hunting ability comes from the instincts of wild animals.

As Da Bao grows stronger, the effectiveness of this skill also gradually increases.

Once on the rooftop, Chu Danqing saw the man.

Because they were wearing dark clothes, all that could be seen was that the other person was short and stout; it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.

Despite his size, he is surprisingly agile and nimble.

Chu Danqing realized why the other party could move as if there was no one there. His body was covered with a special kind of true energy, which not only shielded his own aura but also isolated the noise brought by his lightness skill.

In other words, Da Bao's talent and skills enhanced his perception, and the other party was walking on his roof; otherwise, Da Bao might not have been able to notice.

"Should we...kill?" Da Bao asked softly.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "No rush, let's chase them to their lair first."

Taking action now certainly has advantages, since once a fight breaks out, the guards and servants of the Prince's Palace will surely come to the rescue immediately.

But Chu Danqing felt that this matter was probably not that simple.

Let's follow them first, but we don't know what they took from the Prince's mansion.

They followed the other party out of the palace, turning left and right until they came to a low-lying residential house.

This man was very confident in his martial arts skills and showed little vigilance along the way, going straight into the house.

This place is not far from the Prince's Palace, and the location is quite good.

If there's any disturbance at the Prince's residence, they'll know about it immediately, if not immediately, but they won't only notice it afterward.

It was clearly a location that the other party had carefully selected.

"That's about enough, let's get started." Chu Danqing said, and Da Bao smashed the door open with a single claw.

Then Chu Danqing saw a woman emerge from the short, stout body.

The other party clearly hadn't expected this unexpected event to happen.

Ignoring the human skin on his body, he immediately drew the long sword from the table and began fighting with Da Bao.

His previous short and fat appearance was clearly a result of disguise and bone-shrinking techniques.

This left Chu Danqing speechless. If you're talking about low vigilance, then at least they know how to disguise themselves.

While they are known for their high level of vigilance, their counter-surveillance capabilities are surprisingly poor.

"Huh, is this the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique?" Chu Danqing suddenly realized that the martial art used by the other party was extremely similar to that of the Golden Sparrow, especially in terms of true qi.

Chu Danqing's words quickly caught the woman's attention.

The other party was trying to escape and attacked Chu Danqing.

But Da Bao couldn't possibly help her succeed.

Because the opponent changed its actions, a single swipe of its claw crippled the opponent's right hand on the spot.

"Capture them alive," Chu Danqing said immediately.

Following Chu Danqing's orders, Da Bao changed its attack, which was originally intended to tear out the heart with a claw, and directly subdued it.

The battle lasted one minute, during which the enemy was wounded and captured.

"Who are you, and why do you know about the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique?" Although the woman had been captured, she did not beg for mercy and immediately questioned Chu Danqing.

"What? You're also a remnant of the Western Luo Kingdom?" Chu Danqing mocked. "How did you end up as a thief?"

"Pah! How dare you slander me out of thin air!" the woman immediately retorted. "I was just taking back what was mine; you Xihuan people are the real robbers!"

Chu Danqing was not angry when she heard this.

He then found what the other party had stolen, and his expression turned very strange. It was a piece of equipment.

Chu Danqing was speechless.

Unexpectedly, the Nine Clouds Luminous Cup has been stolen again.

Why is this thing so unlucky?

But after seeing the effect, Chu Danqing also discovered that this was actually the matching equipment for the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique.

A quick thought made me understand the cause and effect.

After the Western Luo Kingdom was destroyed, the Nine Clouds Luminous Cup was most likely taken away and later presented to the Xi Huan Dynasty as tribute.

The emperor, seeing that it was useless and could only be used as an ornament, bestowed it upon the Prince of Zhennan.

That's why this happened.

But the question is, who is this woman in front of me?

“I remember Princess Jinque is dead, isn’t she?” Chu Danqing asked. “Killed by her maid.”

"Even the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique has fallen into the hands of this maid."

After saying this, the woman stared at Chu Danqing in disbelief.

"How did you know?" the woman asked, her expression showing surprise.

"So you really are Princess Golden Sparrow, and you didn't die?" Chu Danqing immediately confirmed the other party's identity.

“That’s right, I’m not dead.” The woman replied, “You know these inside stories, could you be a disciple of the Cloud Dragon Sect?”

"Oh, no." Chu Danqing told the truth: "But Jinque, who was your maid, died at my hands."

"She did me a huge favor before she died."

"But your three former officials are truly pitiful," Chu Danqing couldn't help but marvel.

Princess Jinque was of course unaware of what was happening in Jingyang City. Over the years, she had been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Nine Clouds Night-Shining Cup.

After learning that it had been bestowed upon the Prince of Zhennan by Emperor Xihuan, he remained hidden in the surrounding area, intending to find an opportunity to steal it back.

"Fine, come with me." Chu Danqing thought these things were none of his business, and he just needed to capture the person to fulfill his duty.

As for the Nine Clouds Luminous Cup, although Chu Danqing wanted it, he wouldn't stoop to embezzling it.

"Don't even think about it!" Princess Golden Sparrow said coldly.

"I'm informing you, not discussing it with you," Chu Danqing sighed. Did they really think she was still a princess?

Besides, what can you do even if you don't want to? He's already arrested you; you can't even resist.

She couldn't possibly be trying to use her status as a princess of a fallen kingdom to lecture him on the rules of hierarchy and primogeniture.

"Young friend, for my sake, hand over the goods and return to your palace to enjoy your wealth." An old voice came.

Princess Golden Sparrow's face lit up with joy, and she quickly cried out, "Master, save me!"

Chu Danqing turned her head and saw an old man with a dragon-headed cane, dressed in brocade robes, strolling out of the darkness.

He wasn't surprised that Princess Golden Sparrow had a master; otherwise, even if she survived, she wouldn't have the resources to cultivate the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique on her own.

"I knew it. How could a fool who could be harmed by a maid possibly steal the Nine Clouds Night Light Cup?"

"She's where she is today, I suppose you've been helping her out." Chu Danqing looked the old man up and down, recognizing him instantly from her memory.

"Old monster Yinlong Youye, you're still alive and haven't been beaten to death."

Upon hearing Chu Danqing call out his identity, You Ye, known as the Old Monster Yinlong, changed his expression slightly.

Back in the day, You Ye's reputation in the martial arts world was such that everyone hated him.

The cultivation method practiced by You Ye was a method of yin and yang harmony, and the intention of the method was not wrong, but he just happened to practice it as an evil method of sexual intercourse.

He eventually became a notorious lecher in the martial arts world.

One advantage of unorthodox methods is that they lead to rapid progress.

That's why You Ye wasn't killed; instead, he killed many of the martial arts practitioners and government constables who were chasing him.

But later he gradually disappeared without a trace, and it is unknown whether he was beaten to death or retired from the martial arts world.

There has been no news for at least twenty years.

Now it seems that the other party has set its sights on Princess Golden Sparrow and wants to personally cultivate a furnace for its own cultivation.

It must be said that Princess Jinque is indeed an excellent vessel, and the current strength of the old monster Yinlong is far superior to that of back then.

In fact, his strength was at least on par with that of the Prince of Zhennan.
