Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 700 Ambush and Interception
The next morning, news that the Grand Tutor's mansion had become a huge pit quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Capital Prefecture.

The message spread very quickly, and many people cheered that the treacherous villain was finally dead.

Grand Tutor Zhang Yaozuo wielded immense power in the court and was a notorious traitor.

This is a consensus. As for who spread the rumor, that's irrelevant. In any case, the emperor was deceived by treacherous officials.

Lu Wanyi also learned of this news, and her eyes were full of astonishment as she looked at Chu Danqing.

She understood Chu Danqing, and she felt that no one in the entire Dongdu Prefecture could do it except Chu Danqing.

Then she just pretended it never happened.

Chu Danqing was her godson, and the dead Zhang Yaozuo was no good either.

Why did she bring this up for no reason?

If she were to point it out, it would only bring harm and no benefit; she's not stupid.

However, she also understood that this matter could not be let go so easily.

I also need to talk to Chu Danqing afterwards; we can't solve everything with brute force.

Killing them might feel good, but the consequences are too great.

"The time has come; we should go to the palace to meet the Emperor," said Lu Wanyi, whose entourage had been waiting for some time.

As Lu Wanyi is considered the First Lady, such a grand reception is inevitable.

Not to mention that they were going to the palace for a face-to-face confrontation, so the pomp and circumstance had to be impressive; otherwise, their presence would be weak.

Chu Danqing didn't say anything, just nodded and found a carriage to go inside.

As for Lu Wanyi, she also has one.

The two parties definitely cannot ride in the same vehicle.

Not only Chu Danqing and Lu Wanyi went, but also the Dowager Consort Hui and Prince Hui.

Because of the need for secrecy, King Hui only learned the truth when he was about to set off in the morning.

This incident had a significant impact on him.

Fortunately, he was also a capable person who could stand on his own, and with the die already cast, he had no choice but to go along.

However, he had a vague sense of foreboding, feeling that this matter might not be so easy to resolve.

Once everyone had arrived, the honor guard slowly set off towards the palace.

【Brutal Beast, Son of the Cave (Wu Dabao): @SilentPoet, Man, Malice】

Da Bao was too big to fit into the carriage.

Even if he could get in, with his weight, ordinary horses wouldn't be able to move him.

So he was outside and, after noticing the problem, could only contact Chu Danqing through the team channel.

To be honest, this is indeed a bit difficult for Da Bao.

After all, Da Bao spends most of his time taking photos and videos, so his language skills are much weaker.

Even using the team channel, it's intermittent, but that's normal, since this is mind input, not typing.

Okay, there is typing in the channel, and even voice-to-text.

It just can't send voice messages directly, probably because of security concerns.

Chu Danqing immediately became alert, a hint of killing intent appearing in his expression.

It's obvious, they must have been assassins sent by Emperor Zhang.

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

They've only been away from Prince Hui's residence for a short time, and they're already making their move.

[Silent Poem: @Brutal Beast·Son of the Cave (Wu Dabao), go protect your godmother, and if you can, rescue the Dowager Empress Hui and Prince Hui as well]

Chu Danqing suspected that Emperor Zhang might be planning to get rid of both the Dowager Consort Hui and Prince Hui.

Family ties? They're a stumbling block now; they're too much of an eyesore to keep and need to be moved away.

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, Da Bao immediately squeezed through the honor guard to the carriage where Lu Wanyi was.

Lu Wanyi also noticed the commotion outside, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw Da Bao.

"Da Bao, what brings you here?" Lu Wanyi asked curiously.

"Xiao Chu, let me do it," Da Bao replied briefly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanyi nodded and said, "Are you hungry? I brought some pastries."

She really likes Da Bao; he can eat a lot, is obedient, and is fair-skinned and chubby.

In any old lady's eyes, he was the grandson of her dreams. He was just a little pale and chubby, but Da Bao was indeed strong.

"I'm not hungry, I'll eat." Da Bao didn't refuse at all.

Allies are like family, so there's no need to be polite.

Lu Wanyi is an ally.

Lu Wanyi smiled and took out a plate of exquisite pastries from the side and handed it to Da Bao: "Once we enter the palace, you can eat your fill."

"Okay." Da Bao took it and immediately put it in his mouth and chewed it.

As for the taste, Da Bao can eat the delicious ones, and Da Bao can also eat the average ones.

Even if it tastes bad, you can still eat it if you grit your teeth, unless it's really so bad that you can't swallow it.

Just as Da Bao reached out to take the second plate of pastries, his hand suddenly stopped.

He reached out and pushed Lu Wanyi backward.

The power of bloodlust instantly emerged, blocking an arrow imbued with divine power.

Lu Wanyi watched as the arrow remained perched between her brows.

The arrow appeared out of thin air, clearly in conjunction with some deity's spatial abilities.

If Da Bao hadn't reacted quickly, the arrow would probably have pierced her skull, and she wouldn't even know how she died.

"Kill!" Suddenly, a deafening roar of battle cries erupted.

Nearly a hundred people dressed in armor, wearing helmets and face shields charged out.

Each person possesses the power of a deity. These deities are not officially worshipped, but rather wild gods of unknown origin.

One of the differences between wild gods and household gods is control.

Household gods are deities registered during the Zhang Dynasty, belonging to the families of ordinary people.

Wild gods are different; their very existence is for breaking the law and disrupting order, so naturally the imperial court cannot know about them.

The difference between the two is that one is legal and the other is illegal.

"Roar!" Da Bao roared, his blood rage power accompanying the blood chain of patricide.

The main problem is that there are too many of our own troops. If he were to launch a full-scale attack, it wouldn't just be friendly fire, but a chaotic massacre.

Fortunately, in this situation, the Blood Chain of Kinslaying compensated for his disadvantages in ranged attacks and group battles.

The bloodline of patricide moves with remarkable agility between friendly forces and enemy assassins.

As the blood chain of patricide is linked, it not only exerts a certain degree of control over it, but more importantly, as long as Da Bao inflicts damage on one of the people controlled by the chain, that damage can be transferred to other people who are also controlled by the chain.

However, this damage will be reduced, but fortunately, it can perfectly transfer all of Da Bao's damage methods.

As for Chu Danqing, he leisurely removed the arrow from his forehead and accepted the newly refreshed side quest.

Side Mission: Eliminate all attacking enemies within 10 minutes.

[Trial Difficulty: SS Rank (Hell)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 30000, Attribute Points +6]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -60000, Random Attribute -3]

From the very beginning, it wasn't just Lu Wanyi who was attacked, but also Chu Danqing, the Dowager Consort Hui, and Prince Hui.

Lu Wanyi was protected by Da Bao, while Chu Danqing had Da Yu and Da Hui, plus the shield on his body, so he was unharmed.

However, it was different for Consort Hui and Prince Hui. They never expected that someone would be so audacious as to attempt to assassinate them in the street.

So, he died.

Chu Danqing was also surprised that Emperor Zhang really showed no mercy and killed him without hesitation.

By this time, the honor guard was in complete chaos.

Chu Danqing alighted from the carriage and saw two loyal old servants carrying the bodies of the Dowager Consort Hui and Prince Hui from the carriage in front.

The manner of death was exactly the same: an arrow piercing the brain.

"Da Bao, finish this quickly, a deity has arrived," Chu Danqing said.

The deity he was referring to was not one worshipped by the imperial court, but rather a wild god.

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Bao's network of connections was completed, with each enemy being a node on the network.

The violent power spread along the bloodline of patricide, transforming into immense damage that was transmitted to every person linked to it.

boom!
All the linked enemies were instantly turned into a bloody mist.

The blood mist was absorbed by the blood chain of patricide, making the already blood-red chain appear even more alluring.

At the same time, a ferocious wild god, a giant, pitch-black skeleton, arrived.

The most distinctive feature of the wild gods is that they are not human.

Whether it's the deities of the imperial court or the deities of a family, they are all based on human beings.

On the contrary, the wild gods, for various reasons, ultimately did not resemble human form.

"This was handled far too carelessly," Chu Danqing frowned.

They've been killing for over thirty seconds, and the imperial deities still haven't arrived.

Secondly, in such a vast city as Dongdu Prefecture, there is actually the true form of a wild god here.

Chu Danqing recognized this wild god, named Shadow Ancestor, who was usually worshipped by assassins.

Also known in the industry as Mr. Mute, he is skilled in assassination and also has the ability to make contracts.

After all, the assassin industry is a black market, which requires some form of collateral.

Chu Danqing was genuinely surprised that the other party would actually bring over the true form of this wild god.

Its strength is quite good, around the peak of Tier 3, only one step away from Tier 4.

So when facing Da Bao, she's basically just a pretty face.

However, it wasn't just this one wild god who came. Besides the Shadow Ancestor who arrived first, wild gods from all directions—east, west, south, and north—came to attack.

These "wild gods" are well-known names in various shady industries.

Now they are all gathered together to achieve the same goal.

On the other side, Chu Danqing rescued Lu Wanyi, who was terrified.

"Brother Chuchu, what happened?" Lu Wanyi asked with a mournful face.

“Godmother, you’re a smart woman. It’s not right for me to say things directly from my position,” Chu Danqing said softly.

He actually knew that Lu Wanyi had already guessed the truth.

It's just that she doesn't want to admit it.

The fact that the gods of Dongdu Prefecture have not yet come to the rescue is enough to guess the truth.

Throughout the entire world, only Emperor Zhang could accomplish this; no one else could.

Lu Wanyi lowered her head and sobbed softly after being spoken to by Chu Danqing.

She had previously seen servants from Prince Hui's residence carrying away the bodies of the Dowager Consort Hui and Prince Hui.

“How could he do this?” Lu Wanyi’s voice was filled with anger.

She could accept being killed.

It's understandable that she might not acknowledge him, after all, her son is the emperor.

She said she would go back to her hometown.

But in order to keep it a secret, so many people died, and she simply couldn't accept it.

"Only the dead can keep secrets," Chu Danqing said comfortingly, then placed his hand on Da Wang's body.
