You have received: Paradise Points ×10,000, Attribute Points +4】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a pity he hadn’t yet obtained the Nine Cauldrons Map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t yet understand how this side quest supplemented the trial mission’s points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d return to the city first—Paradise had warned him of the risks of staying outside too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ma Yunfeng was assassinated in his mansion last night??” Chu Danqing’s blood pressure spiked as Wei Chu reported the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin, it seemed, had once been Ma Yunfeng’s classmate, which allowed him to get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it was simple—he drew his blade and slashed Ma Yunfeng once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacker hadn’t escaped; he was now locked in the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for interrogation, no one had bothered to handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Simou seized the opportunity to strike back, and everything Ma Yunfeng had suppressed in Linshen City began to rebound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That dog, plotting against me while I was away,” Chu Danqing’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chu Danqing had been present, the assassin wouldn’t have gotten close enough to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an open, undeniable stratagem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yunfeng sent Chu Danqing to block the Black Flag Army, leaving himself exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t sent him, the Black Flag Army entering the city would have sealed the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Ma Yunfeng chose the former—but he never expected it to happen so swiftly, leaving him no time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, yesterday, Deputy Commander Hong Chengyue entered the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first thing he did, under the guidance of a girl named Lianyun, stormed the Liu residence and seized Liu Bai, Chen Jiunan, and others in a flash,” Wei Chu said, his expression grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The charge: traitors of the Zhao Ming Society.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrests of Ma Yunfeng, Liu Bai, Chen Jiunan, and others naturally affected Wei Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chu Danqing let out a silent laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d thought Lianyun might merely have failed—but she’d outright defected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s Commander Qi Qianshan?” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already decided to kill—once he located them, he’d go door to door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He didn’t come. Rumor says he received an imperial edict en route, ordering Deputy Commander Hong Chengyue to bring most of the Ironclad Guard’s elite to Linshen City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I suspect the capital believes the situation is settled, so they’ve assigned Qi Qianshan to other matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, Qi Qianshan has always been at odds with Zhao Tiechuan, yet he’s close to Hong Chengyue,” Wei Chu added, then paused: “Big Brother Chu, this isn’t the time to discuss this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Ma is under assassination, his life hanging by a thread.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This morning, Master Ma’s servant came to report—he may not survive the day,” Wei Chu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chu Danqing felt his head spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go myself. Tell your men to lie low for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t like before—mess up, and people will die,” Chu Danqing warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d originally planned to take Wei Chu along, to boost Wei Chu’s favor with Ma Yunfeng—but he knew Wei Chu had secretly been building his own intelligence network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing had warned him once; he wouldn’t warn him again. Since it was Wei Chu’s own choice, he wouldn’t interfere further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Chu Danqing headed straight for Ma Yunfeng’s ancestral home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast-Masked Guards drove him there without incident, and he soon reached Ma Yunfeng, lying on his sickbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yunfeng, already elderly, now looked even paler; even if saved, he had little time left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound was on his ribs—blood had been stanched, but internal organs were surely damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re back,” Ma Yunfeng said, forcing a smile as he saw Chu Danqing: “I’ve heard about Chen Hui and Liu Bai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They won’t escape death. I won’t make it through the night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rest is yours,” Ma Yunfeng said, unwilling to die without entrusting everything to Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who did this?” Chu Danqing asked, as Da Bai immediately unleashed a barrage of single-target healing spells—Soul Healing—onto Ma Yunfeng, as if they cost nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healing magic entered Ma Yunfeng’s body; his pallor began to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the Son of Heaven emerged from the imperial decree and began bestowing multiple buffs upon Ma Yunfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Ma Yunfeng, who had been barely breathing, recovered fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ma Yunfeng had been a powerful cultivator, such injuries would’ve been hard to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was merely an ordinary man—if Da Bai and the Son of Heaven couldn’t heal him, Chu Danqing’s investments would’ve been useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Better?” Ma Yunfeng touched his rib wound, then sat up abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Healing that restores the dead to flesh and bone,” Ma Yunfeng said, astonished: “Even the imperial physicians can’t do this. How do you have such skill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing merely nodded, not explaining, but urged: “Since you’re recovered, get to work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Jiunan and Liu Bai are still waiting for you to rescue them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Zhao Tiechuan of the Black Flag Army asked me to deliver a message,” Chu Danqing repeated Zhao Tiechuan’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brought a smile to Ma Yunfeng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Chu, you truly are the former emperor’s personal Qingyi Guard Battalion Commander,” Ma Yunfeng felt his injury was worth it: “I only asked you to delay one day—and you got him to grant five.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remarkable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only one day, Ma Yunfeng’s time would’ve been too tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with five, he could not only crush Jia Simou and Hong Chengyue, but also prepare to win over Zhao Tiechuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tiechuan wanted power—the Empress Dowager could grant it, but so could the Shuo Emperor, and even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Save the flattery for later. When this is over, I’ll set aside a day to hear your praise—but not now,” Chu Danqing said, unimpressed by Ma Yunfeng’s compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the praise felt awkward—his own achievements were being diluted by references to the dead emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former emperor had been buried for years—how could anyone still invoke him like this? It was absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yunfeng immediately rose, donned his outer robe, and prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your subordinate Wei Chu is a talent,” he said as they left the estate: “He’s helped me greatly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But he’s ambitious, always trying to get close to me—he seems to want to ride on my power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch yourself—he might use you as a stepping stone,” Ma Yunfeng warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing didn’t care, only replied: “I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s been poor too long. Afraid. When a chance to turn things around comes, grabbing it is natural.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He defended Wei Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they stepped out of the Ma family estate, they faced a group of Ironclad Guards waiting for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their leader was Jia Simou. Seeing Ma Yunfeng walk out so robustly, his expression changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jia Provincial Governor, you’ve come at the perfect time—I have business with you,” Ma Yunfeng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly why Jia Simou had come with the Ironclad Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply to eliminate the last variable: Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Ma Yunfeng hadn’t died yet, Jia dared not act openly—so he waited outside the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Master,” Jia Simou quickly composed himself and stepped forward: “I’ve come on behalf of Deputy Commander Hong to arrest Zhao Ming Society traitors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Ming Society traitors?” Ma Yunfeng chuckled, then his face darkened: “Am I one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, no—it’s the former Qingyi Guard Battalion Commander Chu—” Jia Simou hurried to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he finished, a flash of golden light erupted from Chu Danqing’s front and struck Jia Simou instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sent him crashing headfirst into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dog, don’t smear filth unless you know who you’re dealing with,” Chu Danqing spat: “When I served the former emperor on campaigns north and south, you didn’t even exist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a Zhao Ming Society traitor? So the former emperor was their leader?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Simou had just struggled to his feet when Da Bai seized his throat and hauled him forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ironclad Guards drew their blades to attack—but Ghost Wailing Infants had already clung to their hands, their yin energy freezing their limbs numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Simou opened his mouth to speak, but Da Bai, on Chu Danqing’s order, slapped him twice—half his teeth shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew you’d never spit out anything but filth. Next time, I’ll hang you up and whip you raw—so you learn the might of Chu’s service to the throne.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jia Simou wished he were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Yunfeng, witnessing this, was stunned—his composure nearly cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had happened too suddenly—he hadn’t expected Chu Danqing to act so decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Chu Danqing hadn’t killed him outright; Jia Simou’s public murder would’ve been a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jia Provincial Governor, what can I say to you?” Ma Yunfeng sighed, feigning helplessness: “Even I, an old man, show Young Master Chu three parts of respect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You accuse Young Master Chu of treason without proof—someone must be manipulating you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guards, escort Jia Provincial Governor inside to rest awhile,” Ma Yunfeng said, pretending concern—but his intent was to imprison Jia Simou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own assassination was tied to Jia Simou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he wasn’t as blunt as Chu Danqing, he had no intention of letting Jia Simou go free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Simou tried to cry for help—but Da Bai struck him again before he could speak, silencing him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Ma family retainers moved in and dragged him into the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Ironclad Guards? They were paralyzed by the Ghost Wailing Infants—unable to move, let alone rescue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Chu, take my official order and bring out those individuals whom Inspector Jia has labeled as members of the Zhao Ming Rebellion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish to interrogate them again and determine whether they are truly rebels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or is Inspector Jia eliminating his political rivals?\" Ma Yunfeng stroked his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1639,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5aae4587c7c1bef81b1eb78f60287ea234f0a6cb2d555d122da1f366e16ce799","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-176","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-174",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
