Chapter 259

"Just staying here; we'll come out, but don't use the word 'get out' with me," Chu Danqing replied, then walked down with Yang Qianyuan.

A cold sneer appeared on the face of the man who called out, but his sneer soon froze.

Because besides the two of them and Da Bao, there were also burly Jin Gang Warriors following behind.

A total of eighty-one of them; the aura and pressure emitted from their bodies vaguely formed a piece of golden light, pressing down on the group of people in the inn, making them tremble uncontrollably.

"Th-this lord, what can I do for you?" The female shopkeeper bit the bullet and asked Chu Danqing respectfully.

"What do you mean by what can you do for me? It was this hero who called me out; there was nothing wrong originally," Chu Danqing pushed the pot away with a smile that wasn't a smile.

This is called conflict shifting; once the words were out, those people were gnashing their teeth with hatred toward the man who shouted.

Why did you have to open your mouth for no reason? Now you've provoked people to come down.

"What's the situation with her?" Chu Danqing pointed to the tied-up woman and asked.

The female shopkeeper explained hurriedly: "This woman owes our proprietor money, so we had no choice but to..."

Before she finished speaking, Da Bao slapped her; the Spirit Flame Black Fox wanted to protect its master but was a step too slow, and only acted after the female shopkeeper was slapped away.

Afterward, Da Bao's claws pierced through the Spirit Flame Black Fox's body, and with a shake of his hand, he tore it into a pile of minced meat.

The female shopkeeper, who was dizzy from the slap, had the backlash surge up due to the death of her Purple Mansion spirit beast; she vomited a large mouthful of blood while bleeding from her seven orifices.

She fainted on the spot.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing felt speechless in his heart.

Originally, the person themselves is the biggest weakness in the summoning type, and this trial world also has this kind of two-way interconnection.

If the spirit beast dies, the person will also be implicated, and it will be accompanied by irreversible damage, which is indeed a pitfall.

"Don't use this kind of talk to fool me; tell the truth, it's good for everyone," Chu Danqing said lightly.

"Since this lord speaks so bluntly, we won't hide it," said the man who called out to Chu Danqing earlier: "The seven of us brothers and sisters are working for Prince Ning."

"This woman is someone Prince Ning specifically requested."

"I would like to ask this lord to give us a convenience for the sake of Prince Ning," the man cupped his hands and said respectfully.

This time Da Bao didn't take action, meaning the other party was telling the truth, but this truth wasn't necessarily true, for example, pulling the tiger skin.

"You think I'm a fool to believe Prince Ning would specifically request such a country woman?" After Chu Danqing finished speaking, Da Bao stretched out his claws and wanted to teach this person another lesson.

"If there is a single word of falsehood in this, I am willing to suffer a thousand cuts," the man explained hurriedly: "This woman was born in the Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour, and her original Yin has not yet dissipated."

Yang Qianyuan looked at the tied-up woman with a rather strange expression; this Yin is too accurate.

Of course, he can understand the time being Yin, but it is indeed rare for her to be this old and still have her original Yin not dissipated.

Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes; he could also guess what finding such a special person was used for.

Nothing more than to evolve spirit beasts, but it is definitely not an orthodox method, but an evil one.

However, Prince Ning is high-ranking and powerful, so he might have some means to eliminate the sequelae.

Just because ordinary people can't reach it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

"How many people do you want?" Chu Danqing asked.

In this way, this inn being here is reasonable.

"I don't know; Prince Ning sent us seven brothers to wait here a month ago for the handover; someone will send them up, and we just need to transport them back," the man confessed everything.

He didn't know much either; they were just errand runners, so how could they really know the situation?

Even though there were some guesses, there was no solid evidence.

"I actually have a question, which is that Prince Ning is jumping around here, how come the Emperor hasn't noticed at all?" Chu Danqing looked at Yang Qianyuan and asked.

Cultivating Yaksha soldiers in secret, and abducting women born at the Yin hour.

And it's all over the place, how come no one noticed like an invisible person?

"Prince Ning bribed the Eight Tigers and colluded with them; it's not that no one noticed, it's just... most people don't know Prince Ning is preparing to rebel, they just think he is seeking profit for himself," Yang Qianyuan explained.

Prince Ning's disguise was too good; no one thought in that direction.

When those people heard the word "rebel" from Yang Qianyuan's mouth, they were also stunned.

They knew that the dirty work they did for Prince Ning was dirty and tiring, but they couldn't help it because Prince Ning paid a lot.

But even they didn't know that Prince Ning was actually preparing to rebel.

"Th-these two, don't talk nonsense; Prince Ning is a famous virtuous prince in the court and the public, how can you slander him randomly?" the man said immediately.

If they said Prince Ning was a beast in human clothing and hypocritical, they could understand, after all, they had done bad things for Prince Ning.

But saying rebellion, this is a bit exaggerated.

When Chu Danqing heard this, he said: "Alright, it's about time."

"Seeing that you can't confess anything, continuing to ask is a waste of my time."

Da Bao moved first; those people certainly weren't willing to wait for death.

There were those who fought back, and those who fled outside.

But regardless of which, they couldn't escape death and all became ghosts under Da Bao's claws.

After the people and spirit beasts all died, a Fine Tier treasure chest emerged and was brought back by Da Bao.

There were no shining patterns, so nothing good could be opened.

After all, the quality is now devalued; a Rank 1 Fine Tier is now only equal to the Excellent Tier of the reserve rank back then.

Most Rank 1 apostles, as long as they complete the promotion and participate in one or two trials, can at least possess a Fine Tier item.

After all, in the first trial after promotion, Paradise will arrange welfare for equipment replacement to ensure their survival rate.

After the treasure chest was put away, a Jin Gang Huangjin Lishi also rescued the abducted woman.

The other party was still looking pretty at first, but after seeing the corpses of those kidnappers, her spicy temper suddenly came up.

She opened her mouth and greeted the ancestors of the other party.

"This... big sister, let's slow down, drink some water." Chu Danqing waited until she was done scolding before handing her a bowl of water.

The other party wasn't really scolding, but performing a protective disguise for herself, so as not to encounter any more accidents.

As long as she appears vulgar enough, the disgust and threat will increase, so she doesn't have to worry about being forced.

Chu Danqing saved her, but she didn't dare to bet her life on the other party's true thoughts, especially after mentioning her birth date.

Someone could travel thousands of miles to abduct her, which shows that she is still very valuable in some aspects.

The woman hesitated for a moment, took the water Chu Danqing handed her, and drank it in one gulp; after all, she was under the eaves.

After drinking, she said: "Thank you, benefactor, for saving me, otherwise I, Fengjie, would have suffered."

The woman's name is Li Fengjie, and she said she is from Meilong Town; she went out to buy things this morning, but was knocked down by this group of people.

After several transfers throughout the day, she was sent to this inn.

If she hadn't met Chu Danqing, she would have been transferred again at night.

At that time, it would truly be ominous.

And from Li Fengjie's mouth, Chu Danqing also learned that the people in this inn were not the first hand; it was indeed a transit station as he had envisioned.

The real first hand is in Meilong Town.

As for who it is, she doesn't know very well; she was walking on the road when everything went black, and by the time she came to her senses, she had already arrived at this wilderness inn.

"Isn't that a coincidence? We happen to be going to Meilong Town," Chu Danqing continued: "We are new here, please help us out, Li Fengjie."

When Li Fengjie heard this, she also felt strange; whether it was temperament or clothing, these two were not ordinary people.

But the words were so polite, and they saved her, so she thought they weren't bad people.

"Look at what you're saying, sir; what do you mean by help out? If you have anything in Meilong Town, just come to me, Fengjie."

"I, Fengjie, still have some face in Meilong Town," Li Fengjie said, patting her chest.

Yang Qianyuan only felt that this woman must have come from the marketplace; if it were a young lady from a wealthy family, how could she say such words?

On the contrary, Chu Danqing didn't feel anything; it's not like he hasn't seen this kind of person before.

"Fengjie, you've been missing for a day, your family must be worried; do you want to set off now or wait until tomorrow?" Chu Danqing asked.

People are lost, the family must be anxious.

It doesn't matter if Chu Danqing and his group travel at night; anyway, they have his 100,000-lumen flashlight.

Li Fengjie looked at the sky: "It's not convenient to go back at this time, so let's set off early tomorrow morning."

Night roads are not easy to walk.

"Fine, let's wait until tomorrow."

"Fengjie, you should pad your stomach first, then find a room to rest, and I'll call you early tomorrow morning."

"Qianyuan, you too; I'll handle the aftermath," Chu Danqing said, taking out some cooked food and handing it to Li Fengjie.

Li Fengjie didn't stand on ceremony; she had been tied up for a day and only drank a sip of water, so how could she not be hungry?

After taking the things and thanking him, she went upstairs to find a guest room to rest; Yang Qianyuan saw this and only asked if he needed help.

After being refused, he also followed back.

The Jin Gang Warriors dragged the corpses and walked outside.

Chu Danqing sat in the inn lobby and took out the treasure chest to open it.
