Not a single coin.” The mechanical apostle sneered. “If you want my life, we die together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Chu Danqing’s summons, which came from summoning equipment and caused him little loss as long as allies and permanent summons survived,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this mechanical apostle’s constructs were all self-made, relying on foundational technical knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning Sects spend real gold and silver on cultivation resources; mechanical sects spend real gold and silver on manufacturing—both burn money, but in different ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So losing so many mechanical constructs, especially that full suit of armor, was a heavy blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if he had to produce more, he might not even pass the next assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing glanced at the Son of Heaven; through their bond of dominion, they had developed a silent understanding through gaze and gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to know if they could kill the man before he triggered the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Son of Heaven responded: yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were already enemies and reconciliation was impossible, it was best to eliminate the threat completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well? Made your decision?” The mechanical apostle’s tone grew impatient—but in truth, he was buying time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was waiting for his skill to charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This high-quality energy device wasn’t his real trump card; a mechanical master’s true trump is the energy system itself—so how could he possibly have the nerve to attempt an A-rank assessment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. You can go.” Chu Danqing replied, while the Son of Heaven simultaneously began gathering power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—you go first.” The mechanical apostle was stunned his threat had worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Chu Danqing agreed. The charioteer turned the war chariot backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the Son of Heaven struck—teleporting forward swiftly, golden light severed the man’s right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man seemed to have anticipated it; his expression didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples formed before him, assembling into mechanical weapons, unleashing a torrent of laser fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive imperial decree emerged from the Son of Heaven’s body, its characters inscribed by the Heaven Emperor himself, firmly blocking the laser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with overwhelming force, it pushed the laser back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was a cost—the decree now bore countless fine cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it had been sealed in quality, now only high-quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical apostle’s trump card was also high-quality; equal in rank, and he was prepared—holding and repelling it was already impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decree shattered with a roar; the laser faded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the Son of Heaven’s mana dropped to zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Son of Heaven was not a pure magic-type summon; he was already close. Before the man could react, golden light severed his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle ended. Chu Danqing exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was not an apostle from a major faction—he bore no insignia, no revenge-triggering artifacts, no marks or mechanisms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was good news—it meant Chu Danqing wouldn’t have to fear retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the idea that the Son of Heaven was the killer, and the target should be him? There’s no such loophole to exploit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Summoning Sects were obscure and niche, such a flaw might exist—but in reality, these mechanisms have filters and judgments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only lock onto the summoner himself, not his subordinate summons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Son of Heaven picked up the energy device from the severed hand and returned it to Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【No.7 Clean Energy Reaction Core】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Type: Equipment · Energy】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quality: High-Quality】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Durability: 100\u002F100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mana +10,000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Clean Energy (Passive): Compatible with 90% of tech-based constructs】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Enhanced Power Supply (Passive): Sustains full-load operation for 72 hours】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Strong Core Reaction (Passive): 10 million watts per second】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Energy Siphon (Active): Absorbs stray energy, converting it to stored power at 12% per minute, max capacity: 300% of energy chamber】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Equipment Requirement: Mechanical Basics LV.5, Energy Basics LV.5, Materials Basics LV.5, possessing Excellent-tier or higher tech-based inheritance skills】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing glanced at it and casually tossed it into his storage space—he couldn’t use it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even gain the mana boost from equipping it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was designed as a power source; without matching mechanical constructs, it was essentially useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for using it as a bomb?

Chu Danqing assigned three Ghost Wailing Infants, each carrying one head, to sneak into the mansion as a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under cover of night, the Ghost Wailing Infants moved like divine aid—leaping over walls and entering unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This will almost certainly be exposed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the more forcefully I act, the less they dare to break the surface.” Chu Danqing knew that no matter how much the harbor and Green Dragon Society tried to cover it up, traces could never be fully erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why the high officials of Lin Yuan City feared Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had vast estates and wealth; Chu Danqing was just one man, eating well while others starved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten minutes later, chaos erupted inside the Provincial Governor’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Wailing Infants’ infiltration had been discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was the governor of a city—his mansion’s security was no trivial matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dead.” The Ghost Wailing Mother’s voice was unpleasant, but she continued: “Mission accomplished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing “mission accomplished,” Chu Danqing relaxed: “There’s still time before dawn—deal with Qing Jian too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The attacker was an apostle, wearing casual clothes.” The Ghost Wailing Mother drifted beside Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Makes sense.” Chu Danqing wasn’t surprised—as the highest official of Lin Yuan City, it was routine for apostles to try leveraging his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Danqing suspected the other party’s trial task was likely related to Lin Yuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget him for now—we don’t have enough Qi.” Guo Danqing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was certainly a way to guarantee victory: just spend money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if we wiped out the Provincial Governor’s mansion again, the Da Shuo would probably send troops to quell the rebellion in a couple of days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Huaiyuan’s death was caused by smuggling; it’s unlikely anyone would make a public fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this matter involved the Empress Dowager and would damage the imperial family’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Danqing now storming the Provincial Governor’s mansion was an act of defiance against the entire Da Shuo—entirely different in nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he took out the death doll and immediately located Qingjian's position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“North of the city.
