On the road, Chu Danqing casually opened the Fine-tier treasure chest that dropped from the Taijiang Guard commander. Because it had shining patterns, the first item was the Talent Book · Purple Mansion he had obtained again.

Then there was a summoning-type spear equipment; Chu Danqing took a look and casually threw it into his storage space.

This thing could only sit at the same table as the previous Yaksha King Life Talisman and Yaksha Sky-Splitting Claw.

However, this spear was much better; at least it could truly summon a phantom to help with indirect combat.

As for the Yaksha Golden Wings, it was a material, similar to the Smoke-Cloud White Peony, but the quality was only Fine-tier.

Chu Danqing was thinking about whether to give it to Da Bao or Da Bai.

Previously, Da Bai had taken the Hundred-Qi Bone-Forging Pill, and the level of the Nine-Headed Spirit Scripture was constantly advancing. If it had this material as a supplement, it should be able to break through level 20 very soon, allowing it to grow another head.

As for Da Bao, it also had a use; naturally, it was to increase its bloodline concentration.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Danqing finally chose to give it to Da Bai.

Even if Da Bao increased its bloodline concentration, the strength it gained would be relatively limited; on the contrary, Da Bai was different.

Three heads also represented multi-casting reaching LV. 3; the two combined could be called a qualitative change.

The healing intensity would directly go to a higher level.

It was just that they were on the road now, and it was really not easy to prepare the Yaksha Golden Wings.

It was still just a raw material, and Chu Danqing still had to combine it with auxiliary materials to exert the greatest effect.

Otherwise, using it directly would be too wasteful.

Subsequently, Chu Danqing's gaze fell on his trial mission.

The trial mission hadn't been completed yet; logically speaking, it should have been considered completed when they withdrew from Meilong Town.

"Brother Chu, the southern tour team has arrived," Yang Qianyuan reminded him suddenly.

Only then did Chu Danqing look in the direction he pointed; from far away, he could see a team of imperial carriages and ceremonial guards rushing over.

"Is there danger?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Yes," Yang Qianyuan replied with only one word.

After hearing this, Chu Danqing continued to ask: "It's the Eight Tiger Eunuchs, right?"

"Yes, if nothing goes wrong, they should have already contacted Prince Ning," Yang Qianyuan said decisively: "They have helped Prince Ning so much; it would be fine if Prince Ning won, but if he lost, it would inevitably implicate them."

"Even if they weren't willing to surrender before, they had no choice after Prince Ning raised his army."

Yang Qianyuan spoke very realistically, especially now that Sun Dashou already knew about the situation of the Eight Tiger Eunuchs; settling accounts was only a matter of time.

It just wouldn't be settled immediately; after all, they still needed to regain power.

"Do you want to remind your cousin?" Chu Danqing asked again.

Yang Qianyuan shook his head: "No need. Although my cousin acts absurdly, he is far from an ordinary person; otherwise, how could he have successfully ascended the throne as the Crown Prince?"

The Crown Prince was such a high-risk profession that few people lived long enough to get a promotion.

Before long, the ceremonial guard team met them.

Eight middle-aged men with tiger-type spirit beasts and hairless faces hurried over.

"Your Majesty, your servants have searched for you until we were heartbroken." The head eunuch, Tan Jin, cried like rain, and the other seven were in the same state, just not as exaggerated as Tan Jin.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart that they were indeed eunuchs who could climb to the position of being under one person and above ten thousand; they truly had ability.

The remaining seven didn't cry as realistically as Tan Jin.

Subsequently, Chu Danqing's mission was also completed simultaneously.

【Mission completed, you obtained: Paradise Points × 5000, Attribute Points +3】

【Trial Mission: Kill the Eight Tiger Eunuchs within 1 hour】

【Trial Difficulty: A-Rank (Hero)】

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

【Trial Failure: Paradise Points -20000, random attribute -1, forced return】

Chu Danqing glanced at the mission; he had expected a kill mission to appear.

He gave Yang Qianyuan a look, and Yang Qianyuan understood Chu Danqing's thoughts in an instant.

Kill the Eight Tiger Eunuchs!

But what he didn't understand was why Chu Danqing wanted to do this.

The development was going very smoothly, and Sun Dashou could fully utilize the Eight Tiger Eunuchs to achieve a better result.

But since Chu Danqing had indicated this, Yang Qianyuan naturally wouldn't object.

Da Bao received the instruction, suddenly arched its body, and pounced toward Tan Jin, the leader of the Eight Tiger Eunuchs.

At that instant, the Dragon-Blood Tiger beside the Eight Tiger Eunuchs reacted immediately, rushing over with extremely swift speed.

This scene happened extremely fast; Da Bao was intercepted and fought with the Dragon-Blood Tiger.

Because of this sudden change, horror appeared on Tan Jin's face.

But his reaction was not slow; without wiping the tears and snot from his face, he immediately took out a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it toward Sun Dashou's neck.

Sun Dashou had already lost his spirit beast, so his strength had naturally fallen to the bottom; how could he react?

He didn't even have time to reach out and block it.

In the blink of an eye, the tip of a spear entered, directly stabbing onto the dagger.

Not only did it shatter the dagger on the spot, but it also made Tan Jin stumble.

The person who made the move was Tang Ziwei.

The Sky-Piercing White Python was currently coiled around his right arm, and his right hand was holding a Peach Blossom Spear, a spirit beast of the weapon-armor type.

He saved Sun Dashou with lightning speed.

"The famous Tang talent is actually a twin Purple Mansion; truly, the younger generation is to be feared." After Tan Jin stabilized his figure, he retreated slowly.

The Dragon-Blood Tiger also quickly got rid of Da Bao and landed beside Tan Jin with a leap.

Beside the remaining seven Tiger Eunuchs, seven tiger-type spirit beasts also became alert at the same time.

The Eight Tiger Eunuchs were very strong, at least the strongest enemies Chu Danqing had seen in this trial world, especially Tan Jin and his Dragon-Blood Tiger.

Even if the Blood-Fiend Yaksha King and the Golden-Winged Yaksha King had joined forces back then, they probably wouldn't have been a match for either of them in a single move.

However, if one were to talk about the strongest, the Eight Tiger Eunuchs certainly wouldn't be ranked.

If the Anyong Emperor, Sun Dashou, hadn't been plotted against, he and his Jade Spirit Treasure Dragon should have been the strongest.

Next down were Prince Ning and the Prince of An, the two vassal kings who dared to rebel.

The Eight Tiger Eunuchs could only be ranked in the third tier at most.

How could the Anyong Emperor, who lacked neither ability nor resources, be weak?

It was just that Yang Qianyuan didn't have the right to establish an office and wasn't a real-power imperial family member; otherwise, even if the Fate-Prophecy Spider he contracted was only a Heavenly Secret spirit beast, he could still possess powerful strength.

"I have treated you well; why surrender to the rebels?" Cold light appeared in Sun Dashou's eyes.

Although he had been prepared, he couldn't help but question them in the end.

Did they really think they would have a good ending after surrendering to Prince Ning?

How could a person who betrayed their master gain trust, especially when they had to take their old master's head as a token of submission to the new master?

Even if Prince Ning accepted the Eight Tiger Eunuchs, he would only marginalize them in the future, and might even find an opportunity to kill them all.

One had to know that the Eight Tiger Eunuchs were personal attendants who had been by Sun Dashou's side since he was in the Eastern Palace; if they could betray him after being promoted all the way to their current positions, how could Prince Ning possibly feel at ease?

"Your Majesty, if we servants don't surrender, will you let us go in the future?" After Tan Jin wiped the tears and snot from his face, he said with a gloomy expression: "Furthermore, Your Majesty, you are deposed."

"The Jade Spirit Treasure Dragon is dead; with your strength, how many days do you have left under the backlash of the Purple Mansion?"

"In consideration of the friendship of us servants serving you for many years, please lend us your head so we can change it for a retirement." Tan Jin knew better than anyone the ending of defecting over.

But there was no other way.

As long as Prince Ning rebelled, they would inevitably be settled with.

Defecting over, as long as it was operated properly, it wouldn't be difficult to survive.

Tan Jin and the others were also forced into a corner; who could have known that Prince Ning, who had been giving them gifts all along, would rebel?

Secondly, when the Prince of An plotted against the Anyong Emperor, they had also contributed to it; otherwise, how could that pearl have arrived in the Anyong Emperor's hands safely through layers of inspections?

It was precisely because the Eight Tiger Eunuchs accepted the Prince of An's bribes that the pearl arrived in the Anyong Emperor's hands so easily.

At this moment, although Sun Dashou didn't say it, there must have been a thorn in his heart.

It could be said that the cause of everything was the Eight Tiger Eunuchs.

In order to survive, they had no other choice.

They also couldn't have imagined that they would just accept some gifts and turn a blind eye, and how they could have caused such a big disaster.

Sun Dashou was about to say something, but Da Bao didn't care about this chattering and was the first to move, pouncing directly toward them.

"Hmph, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Tan Jin snorted coldly, and the Dragon-Blood Tiger rushed out from behind him again, fighting with Da Bao.

At the same time, the tiger-type spirit beasts of the remaining seven Tiger Eunuchs also attacked simultaneously.

Tang Ziwei held the Peach Blossom Spear and, with the Sky-Piercing White Python, struggled to block one of the tiger-type spirit beasts, and even fell into a disadvantage.

The rebel soldiers disguised as the southern tour team didn't pretend anymore at this time.

Chu Danqing grabbed Yang Qianyuan and pulled him behind him; the Pure Yang Heavenly General, the Taiyin Mysterious Maiden, and the eighty-one Vajra Warriors appeared at the same time.

The battle started in an instant.

"The Emperor, there is also the Emperor..." Yang Qianyuan reminded him in a low voice.

There was no greater merit than saving the Emperor; Sun Dashou was down and out at this time, and if they could let him return to the position of Emperor, these people would inevitably follow him to rise to the top.

After hearing this, Chu Danqing rushed forward in a quick step, dragging Sun Dashou and Li Fengjie back to the safe area.

As for the family members of the Yun Mansion, they also followed and hid behind Chu Danqing.
