Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 590 A Warning: Evil People Come to Take Your Life
Zhou Duantong still met with Chu Danqing and the others.

He was dressed in mourning clothes and looked exhausted.

"What brings you all here?" Zhou Duantong asked in a hoarse voice.

He wouldn't come to the temple without a reason; if he's here at this crucial moment, he must have something on his mind.

"I heard that the Zhou family's troubles started because of a red-faced man?" Chu Danqing asked.

“Exactly, this thief, well, you came here looking for him too?” Zhou Duantong suppressed his anger before he could vent it.

"Yes and no," Chu Danqing said helplessly. "We're not looking for him; we just can't avoid him even if we wanted to."

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, Zhou Duantong's eyes sharpened: "What do you mean?"

"This person is extraordinary," Chu Danqing explained the situation.

When Chu Danqing revealed Zhao Yuanlang's identity, Zhou Duantong was both shocked and resentful.

He believed what Chu Danqing said, because he had seen the red-bearded fire dragon that day.

A person with such extraordinary phenomena could not possibly be an ordinary person.

"So you all suffered this misfortune because of this?" Zhou Duantong asked.

“I lost my family fortune because of them, and I almost died from illness. I was saved by my elder brother,” Chai Jungui said.

“He wiped out my entire family, but I was saved by his help,” Nguyen Anh Mei echoed.

As he spoke, Zhou Duantong's face flushed red and then turned pale.

"So we've come here for two reasons," Chu Danqing said. "The first is to recruit you, hoping you'll join us in resisting the king's orders."

"Secondly, if you are unwilling, I would like to remind you to flee quickly to avoid the disaster of your entire family being wiped out."

Zhou Duantong completely ignored the matter of recruitment, but he couldn't help but get angry when he heard about the so-called disaster of annihilating the whole family.

"He wouldn't dare!" Zhou Duantong said angrily, "In broad daylight, he's just a mere wanted criminal. How dare he act so recklessly here?"

"Can you catch him?" Chu Danqing interjected.

These words immediately silenced Zhou Duantong.

He still vividly remembered how his opponent had smashed the entire arena to pieces with a single blow.

With such bravery and strength, if he really attacked, no one could subdue him.

"I can't hold them off." Zhou Duantong sighed. If they really came to his door, he really wouldn't be able to protect his family.

"You only considered the red-faced man, but have you thought about the black-faced man beside him?" Ruan Yingmei also said, "Although this person is not the true Son of Heaven, he is the Black Tiger Star Lord descended from the upper realm."

"With the two of them working together as ruler and minister, if they were to break through, I guarantee no one could stand against them."

“That’s how my parents and brothers died,” Nguyen Anh Mye said, citing examples.

This statement is actually unreasonable. Zhao Yuanlang and Zheng Zien still had some reservations. If they hadn't been forced into a corner, they wouldn't have dared to do something like destroying their family and annihilating their clan.

Back then, it was the Ruan family who wanted them dead, which forced them to take such ruthless action.

Zhou Duantong's side was in the wrong first, and they didn't even have time to escape, so they didn't dare to make a move.

However, this week, the copper forging refused to give up, which led to the rumor of his death.

"In the end, all you want is for me to abandon my family business and follow you." Zhou Duantong wasn't stupid; his situation was different from Ruan Yingmei's and the Five Ghosts'.

So I have absolutely no desire to associate with them.

This is also a limitation of royal decrees.

“If I leave, my elderly mother and elder sister-in-law will be left at home to be bullied by others.” Zhou Duantong’s refusal was very clear.

"Since you have your reasons, we won't say anything more." Chu Danqing didn't press the matter, but instead reminded her, "Be careful, and don't let this cause anything."

Before Chu Danqing could finish giving instructions, he heard a sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

The doorman who had helped announce the news earlier scrambled in, shouting, "It's bad, Third Master, they're attacking!"

Zhou Duantong raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who attacked?"

“The monks from Mashan Temple.” The gatekeeper hurriedly said.

Chu Danqing glanced at Da Bao, who already knew, but ignored it because the newcomer was of average strength.

"You bastard!" Zhou Duantong slammed his fist on the table, his face turning red with anger.

He didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant.

As they were talking, they heard the other person chant a Buddhist prayer, and then a burly monk walked in.

This monk was the head monk of the martial arts academy at Mashan Temple.

"Benefactor Zhou, you are rich but heartless, and now your calamity has come." The monk's first words were aimed at Zhou Duantong's life.

Zhou Duantong was not about to surrender easily, and immediately took action.

Chu Danqing gave Da Bao a look, signaling him to go to the backyard to rescue the people.

As for the present, he has taken no action.

Zhou Duantong's martial arts skills were not as good as his older brothers, but they were still quite remarkable.

The problem is that the monk's knife is insidious and vicious, and he has actually killed people before, aiming to take Zhou Duantong's life.

On the contrary, Zhou Duantong was used to stopping short of defeat in the arena.

The Zhou family is a well-known family in Zitao County, so naturally they wouldn't do something that would lead to a lawsuit.

In a fight, they would be too restrained to fight effectively.

On the other side, a dozen or so martial monks rushed into the house, each one burly and ferocious, and charged in.

Upon seeing this, Chai Jungui wielded the Wind and Thunder Sword, while Ruan Yingmei brandished her twin blades.

The two of them showed no mercy, as they were using martial arts skills honed by bandits on the road.

All of his moves are deadly techniques.

Seeing the monks being killed one by one, the great monk's eyes also blazed with rage.

These warrior monks can't be supported in just a few days or with a few taels of silver. Each one requires a great deal of effort and money from Mashan Temple, and it's heartbreaking to see even one die.

As a result, most of it was lost here.

Zhou Duantong was pleasantly surprised to see this. Fortunately, these people helped him, otherwise his entire family would have been wiped out today.

Although the senior monk was angry, he still retained his rationality.

In terms of martial arts, he was no match for either of the two, and now that the three of them were attacking him, he had no chance of survival.

He immediately had the idea of ​​backing out and wanted to get away.

They came in incredibly arrogant, but now that they're no match for you, they want to leave? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Chai Jungui charged forward with the Wind and Thunder Sword. Amidst the sounds of wind and thunder, the sword cleanly severed the monk's right hand.

Ruan Yingmei's twin swords arrived unexpectedly, slashing the monk's chest with a wound so deep that the bone was visible.

Before he could take any further action, he was punched so hard that he saw stars.

There was no way to recover; Chai Jungui chopped off the monk's head with a single sword stroke.

The senior monk died on the spot.

On the other side, Da Bao also returned covered in blood.

"Thank you all for your help today," Zhou Duantong said, cupping his hands in thanks.

This time it was really dangerous; the Zhou family was almost wiped out.

"I didn't expect it to come so quickly either," Chu Danqing said. "But you should still go and take a look at the backyard first."

"This big monk isn't just heading straight ahead."

"Although Da Bao has killed them all, he is still only a five-year-old child, and it is impossible to do everything perfectly."

"The backyard is probably a complete mess now."

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, Zhou Duantong gave Da Bao a strange look.

My thought was the same as everyone else's when they heard Da Bao's age: Is he even five years old?

But then again, he's an extraordinary person, so it's normal.

“Alright, everyone, please wait a moment while I go to the backyard.” Zhou Duantong immediately agreed and hurried towards the backyard.

He had no doubt that Chu Danqing and the people of Mashan Temple were in cahoots.

As one of the wealthiest families in Zitao County, the Zhou family naturally donated incense and prayed for peace at Mashan Temple.

Although I have never seen all the monks, I have seen the head monk of the martial monk hall.

"Brother, what do you think of this week's copper forging?" Chai Jungui asked.

"Your martial arts skills are good, but your real talent should be managing the family business," Chu Danqing said. "We don't lack skilled fighters, but we lack this kind of talent."

"Then... is he willing to come with us?" Chai Jungui was also unsure.

The main reason is that Zhou Duantong has family members.

"I don't know." How could Chu Danqing possibly know?

The fortune teller's memories did indeed contain the ability to deduce celestial secrets, but the problem was that he didn't know how to do it.

Does memorizing calculus formulas equate to mastering calculus?

There is no such good thing in the world.

“I think there’s a high chance he’ll leave.” Ruan Yingmei, however, had a different opinion: “It’s not that he wants to leave, but that his elderly mother and elder sister-in-law want him to leave.”

"Today, before this true emperor has even risen to power, someone has come to wipe out his entire family."

"When he truly ascends to the throne in the future, he will naturally face certain death."

"Instead of doing that, we might as well let Zhou Duantong come with us; perhaps he can save his life."

"Even if we live in anonymity in the future, we can still continue the Zhou family line."

Nguyen Anh Mye is looking at this from the perspective of inheritance, which is why she made this statement.

As for the elderly mother and elder sister-in-law, when their time comes, they will simply be sent to their deaths.

“That’s true,” Chai Jungui shook his head. “But if we lose, we won’t be able to save our lives or our family line.”

“That’s another matter,” Nguyen Anh My continued, “but if we win, it will be a meritorious service to the emperor.”

As for the possibility of joining forces with the true emperor, that's simply not possible.

If Zhou Duantong really did that, he'd probably get beaten to death by his mother.

Even if they can't be killed, they have to be kicked out of the house and removed from the family register.

"There's no point in speculating too much. Let's wait until Zhou Duantong comes out before making any decisions." Chu Danqing didn't join in the speculation but instead stopped the discussion.

Although it's just speculation, it's still gossiping about other people behind their backs.

It would be embarrassing if someone overheard that.

The two understood Chu Danqing's meaning, so they changed the subject.

About ten minutes later, several servants cautiously entered.

"Gentlemen, the Third Master has instructed us to take these monks' corpses to the authorities," said the man who appeared to be the head steward.

"Do you need any help?" Chu Danqing asked kindly.

"No need, no need, gentlemen, you should rest." The steward hurriedly refused.

These people in front of us were no ordinary people. Those burly and skilled martial arts monks were slaughtered as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

They dared not trouble Chu Danqing and the others for help.

After saying that, he quickly began to dispose of the body.
