Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 452 Humans and Ghosts Collude to Exchange Wealth, Eradicating Plague and Evil
Unfortunately, Zen Master Wende was unable to invite the immortals to descend to earth.

However, Chu Danqing learned the location of the plague demon.

Then he took Da Bao and charged straight over.

"This is the first time I've so clearly identified the phrases 'the rich are heartless' and 'no merchant is without guile'," Chu Danqing muttered, looking at the mansion not far away.

Zen Master Wende directly told Chu Danqing where the plague demon was and what its identity and origin were.

This plague demon had only recently arrived in Xuyang Prefecture when, by chance, it encountered a local medicine merchant. The two hit it off immediately and decided to partner up.

One was spreading plague, the other was selling medicine.

The medicine merchant's name was Wang Yongchang, the same person who cheated Bai Zhenniang by selling her moldy and spoiled medicinal herbs.

To be honest, the fact that they didn't die after all that just shows that Bai Zhenniang really doesn't dare to take lives.

Although her actions were absurd, it was precisely because she didn't harm anyone that Chu Danqing kept her alive until now; otherwise, she would have died long ago.

This is similar to a calico cat.

Although tuxedo cats are known for their eccentricities, if kept as pets, they'll at most cause some trouble for their owners.

Just like how Bai Zhenniang tricked Xu Jingnian.

But the medicine merchant and the plague demon in front of us are different; they are clearly here to kill people.

Then just kill them.

As they were talking, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and landed directly in Wang Yongchang's mansion.

Chu Danqing looked up and saw a white shadow flash by in the clouds.

It resembles a snake in shape and a dragon in shadow.

"Bai Zhenniang? What's she doing here?" Chu Danqing muttered.

As they were talking, a dark shadow rose into the air from inside the palace.

"Hey, where did this vixen come from, daring to strike your ghost grandfather's memorial tablet with demonic lightning!" A short, ugly, and hideous ghost, covered in pustules, stood in mid-air riding a black cloud and cursed at Bai Zhenniang.

Chu Danqing could tell that this was the plague demon.

"You have spread plague and committed evil; I will not spare you today. Die!" The white shadow of the dragon and snake in the clouds vanished, transforming into Bai Zhenniang, who rode the clouds and arrived, wielding her twin swords, ready to fight the plague demon.

Bai Zhenniang was extremely angry today.

Xu Jingnian contracted the plague, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea.

She went to great lengths to cure him, but after all that trouble, Xu Jingnian was severely weakened and lost ten years of his lifespan.

He is still lying weakly in bed, being served by Bi Qing'er.

This infuriated Bai Zhenniang; she had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

To avenge Xu Jingnian, she sacrificed a century of cultivation before finally finding the plague demon using the Yin-Yang technique hidden in her sleeve.

However, there was some good news. Last night, she returned to Baorentang and performed a ritual on the medicinal herbs, turning the medicine in the pharmacy into pills specifically for dealing with the plague demons and poisons.

The price is not high, but the volume is large, relying on small profits and quick turnover.

The others were not as seriously injured as Xu Jingnian; a single pill was enough to relieve their condition.

Xu Jingnian is so unlucky, all because he has two demons by his side.

It's alright if Bai Zhenniang drinks the nectar, but Bi Qing'er is a genuine demon.

Having suffered a severe blow to his vital energy and then being exposed to demonic energy, his condition naturally became even more serious.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing immediately said, "Da Bao, go! Don't let her steal the reward!"

The reason the overall mission difficulty is S-level is that the epidemic must be eradicated within 3 days.

Otherwise, if it's just the Plague Demon, it would only be a B-rank at most.

Upon receiving the order, Da Bao immediately transformed into a streak of blood and rushed over.

He can't fly, but that doesn't matter; he can jump, and he jumps very accurately.

So he slammed into the plague demon.

Even the ghostly cloud of the plague demon was smashed to pieces.

Bai Zhenniang stared in astonishment as Da Bao rammed the plague demon from the sky, smashing it to pieces upon landing.

The plague demon is not dead yet, but it is not in good condition.

He opened his mouth as if to beg for mercy, but before he could even open his mouth, Da Bao ripped his throat off.

The whole scene was extremely bloody and brutal, which made Bai Zhenniang's heart skip a beat.

I thought Da Bao was just stupid and ugly, but I never expected him to be so vicious.

"Spare his life; the situation inside hasn't been resolved yet," Chu Danqing said.

Upon hearing the order, Da Bao stopped and then dragged the plague demon back to Chu Danqing's side.

"Should we kill them all?" Da Bao asked, wondering if they should slaughter everyone in the Prince's mansion.

Chu Danqing then turned his gaze to Bai Zhenniang and asked, "In the matter of the plague in Xuyang Town, who were the people who colluded with the plague demon? Where were they located?"

Coincidentally, Bai Zhenniang is skilled in divination, so we can let her determine the personnel.

“There’s only Wang Yongchang here,” Bai Zhenniang said.

She came here not only to kill the plague demon, but also to teach Wang Yongchang a lesson.

If you don't kill them, there are other ways, such as scaring them so badly that they become seriously ill or go insane.

However, this was Bai Zhenniang's idea, and Chu Danqing didn't care about such things.

Just kill him directly; he'll bear all the karma and sins that come with it.

He dares to collude with plague demons to make money today, but he doesn't even dare to think about what he might do tomorrow.

"Okay, go back now if there's nothing else." Chu Danqing waved for the other person to leave, then added, "Make a quick buck this time, then use the money to pay back the stolen silver."

"But don't raise prices arbitrarily, otherwise your reputation will be ruined and the pharmacy will be unable to continue operating."

"Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Chu. I understand." Bai Zhenniang also had long-term plans and wasn't thinking about making money just this once. "Then I'll take my leave." After replying, she rode away on a cloud.

She just felt frustrated and resentful.

Her husband lost ten years of his lifespan, and she herself lost a hundred years of cultivation.

As a result, it was like going through the motions; they only got one lightning strike and were then sent back.

If she had known this would happen, she would have just stayed home and waited. She really lost out.

"Let's go, let's send this Master Wang on his way first." Chu Danqing said, picking up the jade ruyi and smashing it against the gate of the Prince's mansion.

He smashed the entire door to pieces.

Unfortunately, the Jade Ruyi is only enhanced to +5. If it were enhanced to +12 like the Seven-Colored Radiant Staff, he couldn't even imagine how powerful it would be with its high attack power, hardness, armor penetration, and piercing.

Armor-piercing targets defense, while penetration targets shields, making it a true nemesis of melee combat.

After entering the mansion, Chu Danqing followed the directions provided by Bai Zhenniang and fought his way there.

As for the servants and slaves? Upon seeing Da Bao dragging that ghostly creature, they didn't dare approach at all, instead avoiding it like the plague.

They found Wang Yongchang without any problems; he was just about to climb over the wall to leave.

Before I could even turn over, Da Bao pulled me back.

This tug caused Wang Yongchang to fall heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.

But when he came to his senses and looked at it, he was scared half to death.

In particular, the plague demon he was working with was barely breathing and looked like it had lost its human form.

"Master Wang, your time has come. It's time to send you on your way," Chu Danqing said kindly.

Seeing this, Wang Yongchang wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Da Bao's sharp claws pierced through the other man's throat, rendering him unable to speak.

Killing him directly would be too easy on him. We should at least make him beg for mercy before we do it, so he can experience what despair is like.

With a rip from its claws, the neck and head were instantly shattered.

After Wang Yongchang's death, Da Bao took the opportunity to kill the plague demon.

After the plague demon died, the magic dissipated, and the weather was no longer gloomy and rainy.

An excellent treasure chest appeared on the Plague Demon.

The absence of shimmering patterns is perfectly reasonable.

After all, Wang Yongchang was just a heartless businessman and couldn't offer much help.

Chu Danqing put away the treasure chest and dragged the plague demon's corpse out the door.

We need to find a place to dispose of it, otherwise keeping it will be a problem.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw several constables standing guard, clearly indicating that someone from the Prince's residence had gone to report to the authorities.

“Wang Yongchang colluded with the plague demon to spread the plague; both the man and the demon have been executed.” As Chu Danqing spoke, Da Bao picked up the plague demon’s corpse.

The constables involuntarily took several steps back.

The fact that this plague demon was ugly and ferocious is one thing, but another thing is that the plague demon died a truly miserable death.

“So that’s how it is. No wonder the rain stopped just now. It turns out you broke the ghost’s spell.” A man who looked like a constable stepped forward. “However, this matter still needs to be discussed with the magistrate.”

"I wonder if you..."

Chu Danqing understood what the other party meant; they needed to explain the details.

He readily agreed: "Sure, but I need to deal with this ghost corpse first."

"Otherwise, if not handled properly, it won't be as simple as just diarrhea; it could become a major epidemic."

Upon hearing this, the head constable's face showed horror, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Please, please," the constable hurriedly said. "We'll be waiting for you at the county office."

He doesn't want to die.

“Okay, it should take about 15 minutes to get there.” Chu Danqing said, and together with Da Bao, they carried the corpse of the plague demon away.

He had originally planned to go back after finishing his business, but now it was a good opportunity to meet the county magistrate.

With the cooperation of the county magistrate, eliminating the epidemic within 3 days is not difficult.

Asking the Prefect to transfer him would probably be too late.

A local official is more powerful than a distant one.

That's why he asked the prestigious Zen Master Wende to come forward.

Now that's good, he has this record. He can scare the county magistrate and make him work obediently.

His previous achievements did indeed spread from Jinjiang Prefecture to Xuyang Town, but hearing that he had met with close relatives is a completely different matter.

Chu Danqing also knew that there were immortals and gods in this trial world, but she had never seen them and only felt that they were far away, so she didn't care much about them.

Once outside the town, Chu Danqing burned it immediately.

High temperatures can eliminate most viruses and bacteria.

The process went smoothly; it sizzled and crackled as it burned, and emitted an extremely unpleasant smell.

And a lot of poisonous pus burst out from the corpse of the plague demon.

"It looks like snake venom?" Chu Danqing took a closer look, but then thought, "It must be something related to the Five Poisons that I used during my cultivation."

Chu Danqing knew that the Five Poisons and the Five Plagues were related, and it was common for plague demons to use snake venom from the Five Poisons for cultivation.

The pus quickly lost its potency and dried up in the fire, eventually turning into ashes along with the corpse.

After the fire was completely burned, the pit on Da Bao's side was almost dug.

Da Bao came over and, with two shovelfuls, threw the ashes of the plague demon, along with the soil underneath, into the pit and backfilled it.

The whole process went very smoothly.
