Chapter 98: Old Ghost Jin

Under Dabao's guidance, the group soon tracked them to an abandoned, dilapidated temple.

"Speaking of which, are there so many abandoned temples in the Taichang Kingdom? We've encountered two in just this short time," Chu Danqing felt strange.

Zhao Mingqian was also stunned when he heard Chu Danqing say this, feeling that it really was so.

Xiong Zhigang explained, "It's not because there are many abandoned temples, but because these places are deserted, so they like to drill into dilapidated temples."

"Otherwise, if Jin Baiyan took Miss Shanhu to stay at an inn in town, wouldn't that invite extra trouble?"

It wasn't that they kept encountering dilapidated temples, but that everyone they encountered were outlaws doing illegal things and couldn't stay in good places.

"Makes sense." Chu Danqing was suddenly enlightened, then said, "I'll have the Human Heart Demon go in first to check the situation."

"Let's save the person first."

After speaking, Chu Danqing summoned the Human Heart Demon. After giving the mission, the Human Heart Demon immediately sneaked in.

Yuan Chong, seeing this method for the first time, also felt slightly surprised.

"Speaking of which, whose is this so-called Heavenly Wolf Sword Art?" Chu Danqing asked.

Let's hope they aren't the ones doing the evil in the end.

"Although I haven't read this Heavenly Wolf Sword Art, I have fought with Jin Baiyan and know that what he learned is the Nine Peaks Linked Sword, passed down from the Nine Peaks Hermit."

"He was one of his true disciples, but after the Nine Peaks Hermit died, he became increasingly rebellious."

"It is rumored that he is greedy beyond measure and unscrupulous in his actions."

"That's why he earned the nickname Old Ghost Jin."

"If you ask whose Heavenly Wolf Sword manual this is, it should be that person surnamed Wei's," Yuan Chong said after hesitating for a moment.

He only thought about practicing martial arts and sparring, not caring about the nature of the other party, but he inevitably heard something when asking around.

Just as Yuan Chong finished speaking, movement came from inside the dilapidated temple.

"You thieving bastard! Daring to intercept people under your Grandpa Jin's nose, you're courting death!" A roar came from inside the temple.

Then, a black shadow was seen leaping down from the roof carrying someone.

The Human Heart Demon had saved the person.

With the Human Heart Demon's talents and skills, it was already adept at assassination and sneak attacks; sneaking in to save someone was a piece of cake.

Especially when the natives of this Trial World were strong in skills rather than attributes.

"Do it!" After Chu Danqing spoke, Dabao charged out first, and then the War Tiger, the Single-Horned Flood Dragon, and the Repeating Crossbowmen were summoned by him simultaneously.

Yuan Chong was even faster, closing the distance in three or four steps.

"Old Ghost Jin, kidnapping my daughter, you are truly tired of living." Yuan Chong crossed paths with the Human Heart Demon, and with a clash of palms, he directly intercepted Jin Baiyan, who was chasing from behind.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing grabbed Zhao Mingqian and Xiong Zhigang, who were preparing to rush out.

"You two protect me; what are you going over there for?" Chu Danqing said, and then cast a Scouting Art on Jin Baiyan.

Jin Baiyan was first startled by Yuan Chong, then sensed the prying feeling brought by the Spirit Sight Art, and could only retreat several steps using his footwork, barely dodging Yuan Chong's offensive.

He drew the Sanshan Sword from his waist, and a sword move resembling a cold glint went straight for Yuan Chong's throat.

Yuan Chong's attributes and skills were far superior to Jin Baiyan's; he not only neutralized the opponent's sword move but also closed in like a swimming dragon.

It was just that he was wary of the Sanshan Sword and hadn't made any progress.

The arriving War Tiger didn't care about that and pounced directly, with Dabao following closely behind to attack.

The Single-Horned Flood Dragon and the Repeating Crossbowmen coordinated, forming a mixed physical and magical long-range attack.

If it weren't for the absence of the Human Heart Demon, Jin Baiyan would already be dead.

Seeing Jin Baiyan being beaten back steadily by the coordination of Dabao and other summoned objects, Chu Danqing thought that the stronger Yuan Chong should be one of the top experts in this Trial World.

Seeing this, Yuan Chong could only stop.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he simply couldn't get involved.

This was the result Chu Danqing wanted.

"Your methods are truly lacking in martial virtue," Yuan Chong couldn't help but tease after returning.

"I am a Wandering Art practitioner; I don't practice martial arts, so why talk about martial virtue?" Chu Danqing felt his defense was reasonable.

Ganging up on enemies was one of the advantages of a Summoner; why shouldn't he use it?

"Let's spare his life for now and get to the bottom of things," Yuan Chong still wanted a face-to-face confrontation.

There were many of them; as long as they seized Jin Baiyan's Sanshan Sword, Yuan Chong could easily kill the other party.

Chu Danqing agreed, letting Dabao and the War Tiger hold back, first confiscating Jin Baiyan's Three Mountains Sword, and then giving him a sound beating.

After finishing, Dabao immediately took the Sanshan Sword and happily handed it to Chu Danqing.

This was an Excellent-tier piece of equipment recognized by the Paradise; Dabao didn't care whose it was, he just took it first.

The War Tiger carried Jin Baiyan over.

It was fortunate that they showed mercy, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.

"Yuan Chong, you are truly tactless," Jin Baiyan cursed as soon as he arrived: "I took care of the messy business in your house for you, and you turn around and attack me instead. How hateful!"

"Wait a minute," Chu Danqing interrupted the other party: "You were the one who kidnapped his daughter first; don't try to change the subject."

This guy had ill intentions and was trying to play tricks from the start.

"You wanted the Heavenly Wolf Sword manual, so go find the one surnamed Wei; why involve my daughter?" Yuan Chong didn't ask who it belonged to right away, but set a trap in his words.

Otherwise, if he asked directly, Jin Baiyan would definitely say it was his.

"Hmph, how could I not? That guy surnamed Wei said he gave it to your lover, that's why I took action."

"Besides, your daughter learned it too, so what's wrong with kidnapping her to help me?" Jin Baiyan said with his neck stiff: "I know your reputation, so naturally I wouldn't treat her badly."

"After it's over, I'll take the sword manual and visit you personally to apologize; what's wrong with that?"

Stealing someone else's martial arts was a major taboo.

If it got out, people would laugh at you.

But if you robbed them, it was fine.

Chu Danqing didn't know why the logic was like this; after all, forest bandits could make it big, so he didn't delve into why.

"Yes, there is another one inside," the Human Heart Demon chimed in, indicating that the one surnamed Wei had indeed been kidnapped as well.

Chu Danqing gave the Human Heart Demon a look, telling it to go save him as well.

He hadn't known there was another one inside before; naturally, the Human Heart Demon wouldn't cause extra trouble and would only choose to save Yuan Shanhu according to Chu Danqing's orders.

However, from Jin Baiyan's words, it could be confirmed that the Heavenly Wolf Sword Art was not his.

"Dead." The Human Heart Demon dragged back a corpse that had been tortured beyond recognition.

Chu Danqing only took one look, feeling it was too miserable to look at, and anger surged up.
