Chapter 277

"What happened?" Chu Danqing rushed over and asked while scanning the area.

Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie were missing; Tang Ziwei was injured, and his Purple Mansion spirit beasts, the 'Heaven-Reaching White Python' and 'Peach Blossom Spear', were also injured.

And the men of the Yun family were even more miserable; not only were they all injured, but several had died.

Half of the 'Vajra Warriors' and 'Dragon Horses' were dead; as for the 'Pure Yang Heavenly General' and 'Tai Yin Mysterious Maiden', Chu Danqing saw their residual energy.

This meant they were also dead.

Fortunately, Yang Qianyuan was fine; Chu Danqing let Da Bai treat everyone.

"It was Prince An Yang Qianjing; he made the move." After Yang Qianyuan stabilized his state of mind, he said.

"Him? How could he kill the 'Pure Yang Heavenly General' and 'Tai Yin Mysterious Maiden'? He even killed half of my 'Vajra Warriors' and 'Dragon Horses' in the end." Chu Danqing's expression carried doubt.

"He is very strong, and unreasonably strong." Yang Qianyuan said helplessly: "The spirit beast 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon' refined by Prince An is of the 'Heavenly Secret' series."

"Combining the advantages of the 'Heavenly Secret' series, he killed the 'Tai Yin Mysterious Maiden' with one strike; the 'Pure Yang Heavenly General' was fast, but after getting close and fighting for three rounds, he was caught in a flaw and killed."

"I suspect that it might no longer be the 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon', but a new evolutionary path." Yang Qianyuan briefly summarized the situation.

The evolutionary path brought by the spirit beast atlas is developed by various geniuses and heroes themselves, not fallen from the sky.

Chu Danqing could also self-develop the evolutionary path of the 'Concentric Lotus Seed', but with his current knowledge reserve, wanting to develop an evolutionary path of the same quality as the 'Reincarnation Nirvana Lotus' would probably take three to five years.

Research is not something you think about in this second, and then slap your head and get results in the next second.

In this regard, the natives have an advantage.

"What about Li Fengjie and Yang Qianzheng?" Chu Danqing took the opportunity to re-summon the dead 'Pure Yang Heavenly General', 'Tai Yin Mysterious Maiden', as well as the warriors and dragon horses.

"They were captured by Prince An, heading north." Yang Qianyuan immediately pointed out the position to Chu Danqing.

As for 'Heavenly Secret Deduction', Prince An's spirit beast 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon' is also of the 'Heavenly Secret' series, much more powerful than Yang Qianyuan's 'Fate Spider'.

Not only could he not deduce information, but he might also be misled and countered by the opponent.

It was better to point out the direction directly, which was more accurate.

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain, hu~" Chu Danqing exhaled a turbid breath.

It seems that Prince An's target from the beginning was this Emperor Anyong Yang Qianzheng, but there were always a few accidents along the way, forcing him to make a move personally in the end.

The opponent should have been locating Yang Qianzheng after he escaped, but Yang Qianzheng had a decent spirit treasure as protection, which affected the 'Heavenly Secret Deduction'.

By the time Prince An successfully found Yang Qianzheng, Prince Ning had mobilized his troops a step faster than him.

'Heavenly Secret Deduction' is naturally not omnipotent; there will always be omissions.

"Brother Guo, let's go; we're going to save people." Chu Danqing said.

The trial mission hasn't failed yet, which means Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie are still alive; well, they could also be dead, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

"You go back and find Grand Coordinator Xiong; Prince Ning's rebel army is currently being managed by him, and Qianyuan, you are a member of the royal family, help deal with it together," Chu Danqing said.

Yang Qianyuan was a bit confused when he heard this; what did he mean by going to help?

He didn't know anything about government affairs, military affairs, and a series of other things.

After all, he, this Prince of Jingying, is not a vassal king with real power.

He wanted to say something but hesitated, and Guo Ming had already taken Chu Danqing and Da Bao and left by sword flight.

"Let's go, let's meet up with Grand Coordinator Xiong first." Tang Ziwei didn't know who this Grand Coordinator Xiong was, but he believed Chu Danqing wouldn't harm them.

Yang Qianyuan could only nod and get on the 'Eight Steeds Climbing Dragon Chariot'.

If they walked back the same way, who knows how long it would take.

Furthermore, with this group of people, the only one who could fight was Tang Ziwei; without protection, it would be difficult to survive until they met Xiong Zhigang.

So Chu Danqing left the 'Eight Steeds Climbing Dragon Chariot' for them again.

In terms of combat power, Guo Ming is enough; if even Guo Ming can't beat them, then the 'Pure Yang Heavenly General' and the others wouldn't be of any use.

Guo Ming is a combat power gap.

"Do you think this Prince An is the same kind of person as the previous Emperor Taichang and Empress Dowager?" Chu Danqing said.

In a Rank 1 trial world, especially a world with such an obvious upper limit, a powerhouse who could instantly kill the 'Tai Yin Mysterious Maiden' and kill the 'Pure Yang Heavenly General' in three moves actually appeared.

I'm afraid he must have reached Rank 3.

The naked attributes of the 'Tai Yin Mysterious Maiden' and 'Pure Yang Heavenly General' are at the Rank 2 limit.

Because Guo Ming can also do it, Chu Danqing is clear about this.

"The possibility is not small; this is probably going to be a bitter battle." Guo Ming's expression was serious: "It is highly likely to be an Apostle's ally."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how important this trial world is to summoning-system Apostles.

Whether it is obtaining growth resources or strategic deductions, it is the most suitable for summoning-system Apostles.

Things Chu Danqing can think of, other Apostles can definitely think of too.

They might have even completed their plans.

Otherwise, why did Prince An suddenly rebel?

It is precisely because the output quantity of strategic deductions is related to the sphere of influence.

"How much certainty do you have?" Chu Danqing asked.

"I'll have to judge after meeting him, but it's okay, I've prepared a lot of consumables." Since Guo Ming encountered the 'Spectral Army Passes' in the last trial world, he went back and reflected painfully.

Since his strength cannot improve too quickly, he changed to another method, bringing a large amount of 'Exemplary Tier' consumables as a supplement.

Because of the Paradise's restrictions, these 'Exemplary Tier' consumables must be notarized to be given to Chu Danqing, but he doesn't need to spend Paradise Points to use them himself.

So he can be completely reckless.

As for letting Chu Danqing use them for him, not to mention whether he would use them, just say that if they were used and judged by the Paradise as being used, he would have to pay for notarization again.

He also thought about taking a low-quality one to test it, but he had to wait until Chu Danqing's Paradise Points were more abundant next time.

With the wave of resources he gave, Chu Danqing is estimated to have been emptied of his entire family fortune.

1 Paradise Point was also obtained by Chu Danqing risking his life; how could it be wasted casually?

"Then okay, be careful later, first come a wave of consumable washing, and test the opponent's level." Chu Danqing said.

Actually, Chu Danqing had another guess, which was that this Prince An might not be of the ally nature like Guo Ming, Xiong Zhigang, and Yang Qianyuan.

It is possible that he is a follower like the Empress Dowager.

The difference between a follower and a permanent summoned object is that the authority and independence are two different things.

Because of the contract, Da Bao is tied to Chu Danqing, so his nature is a permanent summoned object, and he can enjoy Chu Danqing's summoning-system bonuses.

While the official name for a follower is 'Follower', belonging to an independent individual not subject to summoning-system bonuses, more like an Apostle with secondary authority.

Followers can use equipment, perform notarization, trigger missions, open treasure chests, and also have their own storage space, authority panels, etc.

Some can even enter trial missions independently.

However, for a series of Paradise Points and items obtained by followers, the Apostle has the power to mobilize and control them.

In Chu Danqing's place, whether it is Da Bao or Guo Ming, neither of them has these authorities and can only follow Chu Danqing.

So Apostles who develop followers are not considered summoning-system, but team-system.

As for which system is stronger, this depends on the individual, not the system.

"It's him." Guo Ming pointed to the black dot not far away.

In his field of vision, the black dot was very clear; it was a handsome heavenly dragon with scales like ink jade all over its body.

But Chu Danqing's attributes were not as high as Guo Ming's, so his field of vision was naturally not as good as his, so he only saw a black dot.

"Can't see it." Chu Danqing said honestly: "Even if I saw it, I wouldn't recognize Prince An."

"I only recognize Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie."

"Anyway, Prince An's spirit beast is an 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon', a black long dragon." Chu Danqing could only explain it.

Guo Ming looked carefully and nodded: "It's him."

"No, he noticed me." Guo Ming's expression condensed; it seems he is indeed Rank 3, no doubt.

"Normal, the 'Heavenly Secret' series has an advantage in perception and spirit; if he is of the same rank as you, it is highly likely that he has additional talent and skill bonuses." Chu Danqing was not surprised.

But the opponent's strength is definitely not Guo Ming's match.

"It seems he noticed my strength; he started to accelerate." Guo Ming's expression remained unchanged.

The four flying swords, 'Zi Hour Shen Hou Sword', 'Chou Hour Da Ji Sword', 'Yin Hour Gong Cao Sword', and 'Mao Hour Tai Chong Sword', were like accelerators, and streamers erupted from the sword bodies.

This caused Guo Ming's sword flight speed to soar by four times directly.

"Wo-gudong!" The push-back force Chu Danqing felt for a moment almost made him vomit; fortunately, he stopped in time and forcibly blocked it back.

It was mainly because there was no food in his stomach; if he vomited, he would definitely be vomiting stomach acid.

After accelerating, the distance between the two sides was constantly closing, and Chu Danqing finally saw the appearance of the 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon'.

However, his focus was not on the 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon', but on the two people grabbed by its claws.

It was exactly Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie.

And on the head of the 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon', stood a middle-aged man; the opponent was exactly Prince An Yang Qianjing.

The opponent's gaze fell on Guo Ming, directly ignoring Chu Danqing.

"Brother Chu, fly well; I'm going to kill this beast." Guo Ming said, instantly turning into a sword shadow and heading towards Yang Qianjing.

Yang Qianjing revealed a smile, seemingly having anticipated it through 'Heavenly Secret Deduction'.

The 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon's' figure turned into a foam-like appearance in advance, and the sword shadow pierced through, striking empty air.

Then he spoke: "We are all fellow countrymen, you..."

It was just that before he finished speaking, his expression changed wildly.

Da Gu's 'Bei Hui Feng' chant ended.

It directly locked onto Yang Qianjing.

He really wanted to dodge, but the four flying swords behind him had already arrived quietly.

Guo Ming slowed down his strength growth due to cultivation suppression, and instead strengthened actual combat training.

Whether it was feeding moves or sword move cultivation, he used the top-level configuration in the Guo family.

With the advantage of one 'Heavenly Secret Deduction' before, how could he let him dodge a second time?
