Chapter 268: The Enemy Arrives, Taijiang Guards Surround the Town

It could be determined that the Wandering Dragon Pendant and the Playing Phoenix Pendant were on Sun Dashou.

It wasn't that Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan deduced it, but Li Fengjie asked every person in the inn one by one.

Sun Dashou was naturally one of them.

When Li Fengjie asked him, he admitted it directly.

He answered without a hint of hesitation.

This made Li Fengjie hesitate about how to ask him for them.

Chu Danqing naturally couldn't just move to snatch them; although he determined Sun Dashou's identity, the other party didn't look like a tyrant or a foolish king during his time in the inn.

At most, he could only be considered a mediocre king.

So he could only let Li Fengjie do the work; as for him, he took the time to open Fang Yiliu's excellent-tier treasure chest and Black-Print Old Monster's fine-tier treasure chest.

——

【You opened: Treasure Chest (Excellent-tier), obtained: Yaksha Blood Pattern, Paradise Points ×500】

【You opened: Treasure Chest (Fine-tier), obtained: Soldier-Evil Quenched Jade Steel, Qi-Evil Battle Gang, Paradise Points ×2500】

——

【Yaksha Blood Pattern】

【Type: Consumable】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Effect: After the summoned object uses it, it forms a Yaksha blood pattern on the surface of its skin, causing an additional 10 points of damage to targets in a bleeding state】

(Note: The blood pattern gradually fades according to the number of uses and the passage of time; it becomes invalid when the blood pattern disappears)

(Note: Only for summoned objects with bleeding skills/talents; those who do not meet the conditions will bear the consequences)——

【Soldier-Evil Quenched Jade Steel】

【Type: Material】

【Quality: Fine-tier】

【Effect: Forging and quenching of soldier-armor-type spirit beast permanent summoned objects; after success, the permanent summoned object can gain a 5% lifesteal effect】

——

【Qi-Evil Battle Gang】

【Type: Material】

【Quality: Fine-tier】

【Effect: Forging and quenching of soldier-armor-type spirit beast permanent summoned objects; after success, the permanent summoned object can gain a 5% effect increase for weapon-qi-type skills/talents】

(Note: Weapon-qi-type refers to external release abilities like sword qi, blade qi, etc.)——

Chu Danqing took a look and used the Yaksha Blood Pattern on Da Bao directly.

As for the two materials in the fine-tier treasure chest, Chu Danqing put them away directly.

If he could get another Talent Book (Purple Mansion), he would get a halberd-type spirit beast to take back.

Then, with the Purple Mansion as the core, plus the halberd-type spirit beast, the Spirit Beast Atlas: Heaven-Dominating Halberd, and these two materials, he would pack them together and sell them to the Yan Cavalry.

The other party would definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy them.

Of course, it didn't matter if they didn't want them; this kind of product that could be sold as a set was expensive, but the sales channels were also better.

Even if close combat didn't want them, there were some maverick summoning systems.

The Purple Mansion could feed back the attributes of the summoned objects, and the soldier-armor-type spirit beasts could bless the master.

With the two superimposed, it was very attractive to the summoning-system school where summoned objects shout and cheer while the apostle enters the field to fight.

If there were another close-combat proficiency and halberd proficiency, combined with Summoning Studies and Summoning Art, as long as one's own combat skills and combat experience were solid, being number one in the arena wouldn't be a problem.

'Collect a bit more, sell to big forces later, and exchange for a basic skill for Qianyuan.' Chu Danqing thought in his heart.

As for what type of basic skill Yang Qianyuan wanted, that depended on himself.

It was hard to say now; he had to wait until he returned to Paradise to discuss it.

Because he was in Yang Qianyuan's native world, he wasn't cognitively modified by Paradise; if he said it, it would be a leak.

Chu Danqing would have to be forcibly returned on the spot.

Basic skills are Paradise's strategic resources; Guo Ming was forbidden from taking them out, let alone privately revealing them to natives.

"Brother Chu, it's been a day, and Sun Dashou still hasn't moved; otherwise, let's just snatch it." Yang Qianyuan leaned over, his tone unkind.

The fact that Sun Dashou's true identity was the Emperor on the southern tour was known only to the two of them.

Anyway, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know; taking action directly wouldn't count for much.

Chu Danqing looked at Yang Qianyuan strangely: "Do you think he is a bad person?"

"Doesn't look like it, instead he's a steady, honest person; why?" Yang Qianyuan asked.

"Right, so what reason do we have to bully an honest person just because I need it?" Chu Danqing asked back.

Time was still very sufficient, and Chu Danqing lived a very fulfilling life every day; Li Fengjie's progress was actually quite good.

As for the rumor that the Anyong Emperor was a licentious and immoral mediocre king? Chu Danqing hadn't seen it; he only saw this steady, honest person in front of him.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing might not be absolutely accurate, but it couldn't stand that Chu Danqing saw the other party's steadiness but didn't see the other party's absurdity.

This didn't fit his code of conduct.

"However, it has indeed dragged on for a long time; I'll go talk to Sun Dashou again." Chu Danqing knew that since the other party was the Emperor, the original purchase plan couldn't be used.

There was another solution, which was to cure the other party's injuries.

"Don't speak later, let me speak."

"Now the three of us know it well, but we haven't pierced this layer of window paper yet; it's not appropriate for you to speak."

Chu Danqing instructed Yang Qianyuan, and Yang Qianyuan naturally agreed.

Then the two soon found Sun Dashou, who was sweeping the floor in the backyard with a broom this time.

"Is it convenient to chat?" Chu Danqing opened his mouth.

Sun Dashou also knew Chu Danqing's purpose; Li Fengjie had been persuading him for the past two days, but he hadn't loosened his mouth.

"Okay, wait a moment." Sun Dashou responded, and after pouring out the trash and putting the broom back in the corner, he came over and said: "You want the Wandering Dragon Pendant and the Playing Phoenix Pendant, right?"

"That's right, but I won't take them for nothing; I'll cure your injuries, and then you give me these two jade pendants." Chu Danqing didn't hesitate and directly put forward the transaction conditions.

"I know my own injuries; I don't know where you got the confidence to boast." Sun Dashou said calmly: "I don't really believe you can cure me."

"Try it, you don't lose anything if you can't be cured anyway." Chu Danqing wasn't unreasonable; if he couldn't cure him, he wouldn't forcibly demand them.

Sun Dashou lowered his eyelids, thought slightly, and said: "Okay, if you cure me, I'll give them to you now."

"If you can't cure me, I'll let you take them after I die."

Actually, Sun Dashou knew that Chu Danqing was a good person; before he knew the Wandering Dragon Pendant and the Playing Phoenix Pendant were on him, he had proposed to treat him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said to take them after he died.

The reason he wasn't willing to give them to Chu Danqing now was that he didn't know what Chu Danqing's situation was.

His identity and background were very mysterious, and if he fell into the other party's hands while he was still alive, it would be easy to cause changes.

These two jade pendants weren't that precious; they could only be counted as his personal belongings.

However, precisely because they were personal belongings, they could be used to make a lot of articles.

"Okay, then it's a deal." After Chu Danqing finished speaking, he let Da Bai release the spirit art Spirit Healing to treat him.

With two heads and multiple casting, 6 Spirit Healing spirit arts entered Sun Dashou's body.

Sun Dashou narrowed his eyes in an instant, looking very comfortable.

Yang Qianyuan also sensed that his injuries were recovering rapidly.

But this recovery stopped abruptly after halfway through.

Da Bai also sensed this situation, so it immediately added 6 more.

The state recovered further, but the effect wasn't even one-tenth of the previous one.

Seeing this, Da Bai continued to throw Spirit Healing spirit arts as if they were free.

Until later, no matter how it treated him, there was no sign of improvement.

"Okay, it's reached the limit." Sun Dashou said: "It can be treated, but it can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."

Chu Danqing's eyes twitched; it seemed like trouble.

"Although you didn't cure me, at least you cured half." Sun Dashou said while taking out a jade pendant carved with dragon patterns and handing it to Chu Danqing: "Then I'll give you half first."

"The remaining half waits for me to die..."

【Detected that the apostle obtained a mission item, can choose to continue or settle】

【According to different choices, the follow-up mission will also be different】

Chu Danqing chose to continue immediately.

Before he could ask how to get the other half, Li Fengjie rushed in.

"It's not good, the rebel army is here!" As soon as Li Fengjie opened her mouth, she gave everyone present a piece of bad news.

"So fast? Who are they coming for?" Chu Danqing asked.

Li Fengjie naturally didn't know, but it didn't matter; someone replaced Li Fengjie to answer.

Because the rebel army entered the town and headed straight for the Dragon-Phoenix Inn.

"Li Fengjie, Prince Ning wants to see you; I think you wouldn't want to see the elders of Meilong Town suffer a massacre." A general wearing armor and carrying a long sword, followed by a Golden-Winged Yaksha King, said.

The accompanying military general was followed by various Yaksha Generals.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers and Yaksha Soldiers poured in, immediately sealing off the entire Dragon-Phoenix Inn, surrounding it so tightly that not even water could leak through.

With a clear goal and extraordinary blessing, the speed was naturally faster.

But soon, the general's gaze fell on Sun Dashou, and his expression changed slightly.

The other party recognized Sun Dashou's identity; this person must be Prince Ning's confidant, so he recognized the Anyong Emperor.

"Heh, it really is 'finding it takes no effort after looking for it high and low'." The general sneered and immediately gave the order: "Set up the formation!"

"Prince Ning is also surnamed Yang, and this world is also the world of his Yang family; why treat the people of the world like grass?" Chu Danqing said coldly.

However, this general didn't pay attention to Chu Danqing's words at all; as the Fierce-Phase Formation was set up, Paradise's side mission appeared simultaneously.

【Side Mission: Defeat the Taijiang Guards within 1 hour】

【Trial Difficulty: A-Rank (Hero)】

【Trial Reward: Paradise Points ×10000, Attribute Points +4】

【Trial Failure: Paradise Points -20000, Random Attribute -1】

"Have you considered it?" The general's gaze swept over Li Fengjie and Sun Dashou: "You two come with me, and I will immediately take the troops and withdraw from Meilong Town, and not commit a single offense against the people."

"With your strength, if you resist, not only will you suffer, but the people will also suffer."

Li Fengjie looked at the Yaksha Soldiers covering the sky and the earth, terrified.

Sun Dashou stepped forward to grab her hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I am here."

Chu Danqing felt a bit awkward after being ignored, but it didn't matter; the Pure-Yang Heavenly General and the Taiyin Mysterious Girl would find his face back for him.
