Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 405: The Case Resolved!

"Young friend, you are very knowledgeable. I haven't shown my face in the martial world for at least twenty years."

"The past is just a thing of the past," You Ye said casually. "The Nine Clouds Night-Shining Cup in your hand originally belonged to the Western Luo Kingdom. It can't be considered theft; it can only be said to have been returned to its rightful owner."

Chu Danqing sneered: "The past is just a passing cloud? You, as the perpetrator, can naturally let it go, but the victim can't."

"You've come at the right time; let's all die here together."

He was certain of one thing: Princess Jinque's ordeal was likely orchestrated by You Ye in secret.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Jinque, this maid, to take her place.

Chu Danqing's original plan was to capture Princess Jinque and take the Nine Clouds Night-Shining Cup back to report.

But that won't work now; we have to kill them all.

Capturing them alive is possible, but upon closer inspection, these two are unlikely to die.

Princess Jinque had a special status. After falling into the hands of the Prince of Zhennan, he immediately handed her over to the Emperor.

Then we can help Princess Golden Sparrow 'restore her kingdom'.

As for You Ye, he is indeed a bit old, but his strength is undeniable.

The chances of him being killed are slim; he's more likely to be recruited by the Prince of Zhennan and then go underground to do some dirty work.

You Ye was speechless and laughed when Chu Danqing said that.

Having cultivated with Princess Golden Sparrow as his furnace for at least ten years, his strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. How could he possibly lose to a junior?
If Chu Danqing were the Prince of Zhennan, he would naturally believe that the other party had this ability.

But for an unknown person to dare to say such a thing is truly arrogant.

Then he saw Da Bao change his appearance, and terrifying bloodlust power accompanied by sharp claws came toward his face.

You Ye's smile froze, and he involuntarily took three steps back. He used the dragon head crutch in his hand, which was wrapped with Yin-Yang True Qi, to block Da Bao's claws.

He managed to block it, but You Ye could sense the immense force surging towards his hand, and the ferocity of the blood-red true energy instantly swallowed up the yin-yang true energy attached to his dragon-head staff.

'This is bad, this big, simple-minded guy is actually so aggressive.' You Ye decisively took a few more steps back, creating a safe distance.

At this moment, You Ye was already thinking about escaping.

As a notorious lecherous thief who has been famous in the martial arts world for thirty years, the reason he has survived to this day is not because of his strength, but because he is pragmatic and has excellent lightness skills.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they immediately slipped away, never even considering a head-on confrontation.

That's why he lived to be sixty years old.

This is already considered a long life among martial arts practitioners, since very few martial arts practitioners can live past fifty.

Most of them died in gangland feuds, and even those who survived only lived to retire to remote and impoverished places, when they could no longer find their enemies.

It doesn't mean that everything you did before is wiped clean once you announce your retirement from the scene.

Rather, after retiring from the world, you need to hide even deeper so that no one can find you; only then can you truly retire.

You Ye is a typical example.

Just as I was thinking this, Da Bao's attack arrived once again.

The claws came from his nose and face; if he hadn't taken a few steps back earlier, one claw would have torn his entire face apart.

I'm lucky this time; I only got a scratch on my nose.

With a heavy heart, You Ye immediately abandoned Princess Jinque, whom he had painstakingly nurtured, and turned to flee.

Anyway, after using it for so many years, it's not a bad deal.

Moreover, Princess Golden Sparrow has also reached a bottleneck. If she cannot break through, this furnace will be useless.

That's why he accompanied Princess Jinque to find the Nine Clouds Night-Shining Cup, hoping to use this treasure to help her break through her bottleneck.

Waiting for the other party to break through, so that I can continue to enjoy this cauldron.

As for not being able to break through, that's okay too.

With Princess Jinque's figure, being a concubine or plaything would be extremely enjoyable.

Unfortunately, this unexpected turn of events disrupted the plans.

When Da Bao saw You Ye escape, he naturally chased after him.

If Chu Danqing says he wants his life, then he can't escape.

"Master~" Princess Jinque's eyes showed disbelief. She did not expect You Ye to run away so easily.

Chu Danqing comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, he can't escape."

After saying that, Chu Danqing activated the dragon vein power of the Nine Cauldrons Diagram and the rainbow radiance of the Seven-Colored Radiance Staff.

The two effects, +40% to all attributes and +100% to the skill effects gained by summoned creatures, directly boosted Da Bao's stats.

Da Bao's strength increased dramatically, and he was already close to You Ye in just a few steps.

Upon seeing this, Princess Golden Sparrow's face turned ashen.

How did everything turn out like this?

"And then... what are your last words?" Chu Danqing said, raising the Seven-Colored Radiant Staff while using the Five Elements Auspicious Beast Scripture's active inheritance skill, Five Directions Spirit Transformation.

The Five Elements Spirits evolved into the Five Elements Auspicious Spirits, and their original forms transformed into the shapes of a dragon, phoenix, qilin, tiger, and tortoise.

The rainbow spirit swirled and circled around his wrist, forming a seven-colored halo.

"Forget it, I don't have the habit of listening to last words. If there's a hell or something like that after you die, you can tell me about it yourself."

The magical power of the five-colored and seven-colored radiance was enhanced by Chu Danqing using the staff of seven-colored radiance as a medium, with corresponding attack power, as well as the auspicious spirits of the five elements and the rainbow spirit, turning into a torrent.

Princess Golden Sparrow calmly raised her head, her eyes filled with deathly stillness, staring blankly as the five-colored torrent filled her entire field of vision. She was completely swallowed by the torrent, instantly dying without a trace.

"It's not easy for you to die by my hand."

"Many powerful individuals don't even receive this kind of treatment," Chu Danqing said.

This is not to say that Chu Danqing is particularly strong; it's mainly because Chu Danqing is only qualified to attack the remaining small fry like Da Bao.

Otherwise, would we really send him to fight the old monster Yinlong Youye?
Chu Danqing definitely can't kill the other party, and the other party can't break through Chu Danqing's shield either. The two of them will probably just stare at each other.

On the other side, Da Bao also returned, carrying an excellent-grade treasure chest.

Having obtained the treasure chest means that You Ye is dead.

"Little Chu, pick up the stuff, okay." Da Bao first handed the treasure chest to Chu Danqing, and then took out two martial arts manuals and two jade pendants from his own fur.

Chu Danqing first put the treasure chest into his storage space, then reached out and took the things Da Bao handed him.

"Da Bao, well done!" Chu Danqing praised.

He actually suspected that Da Bao had enabled auto-pickup.
These two martial arts manuals are inherited skills, while the jade pendant is a matching piece of equipment, or even a set of equipment.

And their quality is all of the highest standard.

Chu Danqing knew from the name that it was the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique practiced by the old monster Yinlong.

He thought it was just one book, but it turned out to be two books practiced together.

Furthermore, since the true qi attributes are yin and yang, Chu Danqing only needs to acquire one more true qi attribute to complete the sub-technique requirements of the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique.

Ideally, it should be a cultivation technique that uses earth-elemental true qi.

After all, of the five elements, only earth is missing from the five elements of metal, wood, water, and fire, while wind, thunder, yin and yang are all present.

After cleaning up the body, Chu Danqing took his belongings and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

After the report was made, it was informed that the Prince of Zhennan was in the treasury.

Chu Danqing understood; it seemed that the Prince of Zhennan knew about the loss of the Nine Clouds Night-Shining Cup.

They then proceeded on their way.

After being informed by the guards once again, Chu Danqing was finally allowed to enter the treasure vault.

"Lord Chu, you've arrived." The Prince of Zhennan said with a smile, "Someone just reported that thieves had broken into the treasury, so I came to check on them."

"Your Highness, I came here for this very reason, the thief..." Chu Danqing was about to explain the whole story when he discovered something.

So why does the Prince of Zhennan still possess the Nine Clouds Luminous Cup?

"What's wrong?" Zhennan Wang asked when he heard Chu Danqing pause, then noticed Chu Danqing's gaze fall on the Nine Clouds Luminous Cup in his hand: "This is the Nine Clouds Luminous Cup you found this morning. It's dazzling, isn't it?"

"This thing... has always been here?" Chu Danqing seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"Of course," replied the Prince of Zhennan. This was freshly made yesterday; the original was naturally lost. "What happened?"

"Nothing much. That thief called himself Yinlong the Old Monster. He claimed he wanted to enter the treasure vault to admire the treasures. He had good lightness skills and ran quite far, but he was too old and was killed by Da Bao." Chu Danqing didn't say anything more.

It now appears that the real Nine Clouds Luminous Cup was hidden in the Prince's Palace all along, and since the Prince of Zhennan couldn't find it, he simply made a new one himself.

The Flying Spirit Mouse became the scapegoat.

The name "Old Monster Yinlong" sounded vaguely familiar to the Prince of Zhennan, but he didn't pay it any mind.

He must be a somewhat famous figure in the martial arts world.

"Did you gain anything?" Prince Zhennan asked casually.

"That's it. They probably wanted to use this incident to gain fame," Chu Danqing said.

From the current perspective, the Nine Clouds Luminous Cup is nothing more than a small toy to the Prince of Zhennan. If it hadn't been a gift from Emperor Xihuan, he probably would have just lost it.

Since the other party has already found it, then we really shouldn't bring it out, so as not to embarrass them.

It's perfect for me.

That's why the other party is so confident that the case will be closed today.

It's not that he found it, it's that he already prepared it.

The Prince of Zhennan didn't think much of it and simply nodded: "I understand. Nothing was lost from the treasury. It seems he was just boasting."

"It's getting late, Master Chu, you should go and rest."

Chu Danqing naturally agreed and then left the treasure vault.

After making his rounds, the Prince of Zhennan returned to his study.

He doesn't go to bed this early.

With his strength, he could go without sleep for months without any problem, but in order to maintain his condition, he would rest for an hour every day.

"Your Highness, intelligence about the origins of Consort Chu has been delivered urgently by the top-ranking secret agent." A steward who was waiting in the study immediately spoke upon seeing the Prince of Zhennan arrive.

The Prince of Zhennan was also puzzled. Why was it so urgent to check someone's identity?
This is such a waste.

But then I thought, maybe it's some important information, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave." The Prince of Zhennan did not intend for outsiders to know.

As for investigating Chu Danqing himself? That's perfectly normal.

Although he valued Chu Danqing and Da Bao, he still had to do the necessary background checks.

Having unclear backgrounds among your subordinates can be a problem.
