Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 737 Secretly Plotting the Sword Manual, Old News
[Detection complete; no abnormalities found in the target object]

“No problem,” Chu Danqing said, looking at the result given by the amusement park.

"That's only natural." Guo Ming wasn't surprised.

"But something just doesn't feel right," Chu Danqing said, frowning as she pondered. "It's too much of a coincidence."

The coincidence Chu Danqing mentioned naturally refers to events from yesterday and today.

For example, the thief who sneaked into the Xie family manor to steal things was the same scholar we met near the official road restaurant.

The opponent's martial arts skills are superior to Zhong Lei's.

Secondly, the other party entered the treasure pavilion of the Xie family manor, ignored all the gold and silver jewelry, and instead took a painting.

Then, seemingly on purpose, he helped Zhong Lei out of a predicament and led her away.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that after Xie He learned that what was lost was the painting, he remained silent for a long time before only saying, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy."

Furthermore, judging from his attitude, Chu Danqing could be certain that Xie He most likely knew the scholar.

The root of all this was Zhong Lei's inexplicable fever, which triggered a series of events within just two days.

"There are indeed many suspicious points." Guo Ming felt the same way, but then said, "In my opinion, why not just kill her?"

They weren't even casual acquaintances with Zhong Lei, so Guo Ming naturally had no qualms about taking action.

"Forget it, the amusement park says she's fine." Chu Danqing shook her head and refused: "Let's go to the capital to find Wang Jie'an."

"Let the other apostles keep an eye on things. I think that eunuch Wen Kang is more unusual."

Chu Danqing was simply annoyed by the other party's personality, and the other party had only himself to blame for his misfortune.

Without a conflict of interest, Chu Danqing wouldn't kill someone over such a trivial matter.

Furthermore, the other party only has personality issues and never intended to harm Chu Danqing; they simply wanted to prove a point.

As for Zhong Lei's fate, there's a high probability that there won't be any problems.

That scholar may have been dishonest, but he didn't seem like a particularly wicked person; at most, he was just entrapment.

Those who take action are mostly not good people.

There must be more to the story behind this theft of the painting, otherwise Xie He wouldn't have let it go so easily.

So let them resolve their own issues.

“Okay, but it seems like a few little mice are coming over. Should we take care of them?” Guo Ming suddenly said.

He sensed someone approaching them.

It wasn't that they were exposed, but rather that these people deliberately sought out a secluded place.

"Who?" Chu Danqing asked.

"It's the Lin and Feng father-son pairs from today's arena. They came out under the pretense of catching thieves, acting suspiciously," Guo Ming said immediately.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing said, "Perfect, let's hear what they're planning. If it's something heinous, we'll just kill them."

Lin Daoan and Feng Wuji are no good people. The former is said to have ruined the reputations of many women, and the latter is a vicious bandit.

If they had arrived just two minutes later, there would have been no danger.

The fact that they had to conspire with Chu Danqing can only be described as a calamity destined for them.

Of course, if nothing bad was discussed, then it's over.

However, the possibility of this is extremely small.

That Sect Leader Lin may not be an evil person, but given his son's character, it's likely that he not only failed to raise his son well, but also needs to cover up for him in various ways.

This is a matter of human nature to cover up for one's relatives, but it's still unacceptable.

After all, he only has one son, there's really nothing he can do.

The four quickly arrived at a short distance away. After observing the surroundings, Chief Feng spoke first: "Sect Leader Lin, the sword technique that Zhong Lei practices is by no means ordinary."

“Yes, Father, if I can master it, it will surely bring glory to our family,” Lin Daoan echoed.

On the contrary, Feng Wuji seemed completely unconcerned.

"Nonsense!" Sect Leader Lin scolded. "You haven't even mastered the Profound Yin Finger technique, so why are you coveting other people's martial arts?"

"If Chief Feng's only purpose is this matter, then I, Lin, will take my leave with my son."

Little did he know that his son was too foolish to be used as a tool by the Feng family father and son to coerce him.

"Uncle Lin, you've misunderstood," Feng Wuji finally spoke up. "I do recognize Zhong Lei's swordsmanship style."

"Although he never drew his sword, it was clearly the Azure Destiny Sword, and I had seen the sword techniques he used in the hands of the Flying Dragon Girl back then."

As soon as he said it, Sect Leader Lin paused: "The Flying Dragon Girl, one of the disciples of the Xuan Yi Ancestor, who was the number one expert in the world sixty years ago?"

“That’s right. By the time it’s passed down to Zhong Lei, he should be a third-generation disciple.” Feng Wuji said, “Twenty years ago, my father was defeated by the Flying Dragon Girl in one move. I remember it very well.”

The chieftain of Feng Village showed no shame, but calmly said, "That move on the stage today was just like that moment back then."

"Back then, I overestimated myself, and that Flying Dragon Girl defeated me without even drawing her sword."

This is nothing shameful; it's only natural that he can't beat a disciple from the world's number one cult.

"Afterwards, I consulted the Flying Dragon Girl, who said that the sword technique she used was created by Ancestor Xuan Yi and was called the Hundred Transformations Mysterious Sword."

"You have seen the Yin-Yang conception that has been formed today."

To be honest, when Feng Wuji finished talking about the Flying Dragon Girl, Sect Leader Lin was already tempted.

But he remained rational and immediately said, "So what?" "Even if the four of us could capture Zhong Lei, how would we get the Hundred Transformations Mysterious Sword Technique from him? Even if we did, how could we be sure it was real or flawed?"

With their strength, capturing him alive wouldn't be difficult; in fact, the other side's pursuit of the thief would be a good opportunity.

But what happens after they're caught? The other side won't easily tell them the secret techniques.

Even the slightest mistake can result in injury or disability during cultivation, even if it's not fatal.

The more advanced the martial art, the more exquisite it is, and the more rigorous its content is; not a single detail can be missing or a single mistake can be made.

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I've already thought about this." Feng Wuji smiled and said, "You don't know, Zhong Lei has an uncle who has been very kind to him."

"If we capture this person, we can use him as leverage, and he will surely submit."

"In particular, I heard that Zhong Lei's uncle was unhappy because he had arranged the engagement without his consent, and he made excuses and left, only sending a letter of marriage."

"Because of this, Zhong Lei must feel guilty. With that, how could he not obtain the cultivation technique?"

Chu Danqing, who was standing to the side, was speechless. How could this be attributed to him?
However, it wasn't without its gains; I just didn't know how to handle these messages.

"What about the Flying Dragon Girl and the Thunderclap? How do you plan to deal with them?" Sect Leader Lin asked again. In fact, he had already agreed to Feng Wuji's plan.

One lost his disciple, the other his son-in-law; they would not let it go easily.

One can't help but sigh, "Comparison is the thief of joy."

Compared to Feng Wuji, his own son Lin Daoan was worlds apart.

If I had even half of Feng Wuji's skills, I wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Hehe, just destroy the evidence and that's it." Feng Wuji laughed: "Then we can pin the blame on the thieves who stole the treasure."

"At this time, Zhong Lei was still chasing the thief and had not yet returned."

“We will split up. My father and I will go to kill that thief and capture Zhong Lei.”

"Uncle Lin and Brother Lin, what do you think about going to arrest them?"

After a moment's thought, Sect Leader Lin agreed to Feng Wuji's plan: "Alright! Proceed as planned."

The Feng family, father and son, were bandits by trade, so they were much more adept at disposing of corpses and cleaning up the mess than he was.

Even if they cannot surpass the martial arts created by the world's number one master, they can still elevate their own forces to a higher level.

As for whether it will be found out?
That's simple. If you don't plan for yourself, you can plan for your descendants.

If the third and fourth generations were to cultivate, by then, not only would Ancestor Xuan Yi be too old, but even the Flying Dragon Girl would be too old to continue.

At that time, we will not be afraid of retaliation from the other party.

By the fifth generation, it can completely turn the tables and take the lead.

All they had to do was endure and accumulate resources over two generations.

It was worth it for them.

“Let them live. I’m quite interested in this Ancestor Xuan Yi and the Flying Dragon Girl.”

A voice suddenly appeared in the quiet night, causing the four men to tense up and then act without hesitation.

Even Lin Daoan could understand that someone who could appear beside them silently was definitely a master far superior to them.

The four intents had barely emerged when they were shattered by a beam of white light, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Then, an invincible aura emerged, making it hard for them to breathe.

The clanging of chains in the darkness sounded very abrupt.

When they looked again, the blood-red chains had pierced through their chests.

A sharp pain surged forth.

Chu Danqing led Guo Ming and Da Bao out, and the four of them tensed up.

In particular, Feng Wuji recognized Da Bao, who was standing next to Chu Danqing.

"Who are you?" Sect Leader Lin asked in astonishment.

"Then you've neglected your duty," Chu Danqing said with a smile. "You wanted to arrest me, but I'm standing right in front of you and you don't even recognize me. How are you going to arrest me?"

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within me, Sect Leader Lin.

He then looked at the Feng father and son, his expression conveying the message: "Are you crazy?"
The Feng father and son were also helpless; they had no idea that Chu Danqing was so strong.

"This is a misunderstanding." Feng Wuji's face showed a fawning expression.

Only by being flexible and adaptable can one achieve success.

"It doesn't matter whether there's a misunderstanding or not." Chu Danqing didn't intend to let them live. He simply said, "As I just said, I'm very interested in this Ancestor Xuan Yi and the Flying Dragon Girl."

"Since you know this, why don't you tell me about it?"

What truly attracted Chu Danqing was the title of the best in the world.

What if the opponent became the number one in the world not because of their own strength but because of some extraordinary ability?

This can barely be considered a clue.

Even if he doesn't investigate, he can still post it on the public channel as shared intelligence; maybe some apostle is just missing this piece of the puzzle.

"It's rare that you have this idea, so I'll speak to you about it." Chief Feng, knowing he had to bow his head when under someone's roof, said, "This Ancestor Xuan Yi is..."
