Catching Monsters

How did Chapter 372 end up in the Sanqing Temple?

The Sanqing Temple was so quiet that it felt strange and eerie.

Xiao Jingfu and Tao Kui looked around anxiously. Soon, Xiao Jingfu frowned deeply and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? There's not a sound at all?"

"I don't know either." Tao Kui shook her head.

Just as the two hesitated, a loud shout suddenly rang out from behind: "Jiang Yun!"

The shout came suddenly, startling Xiao Jingfu so much that he instinctively looked behind him to see where Jiang Yun was.

However, in Hu Yi's eyes, Xiao Jingfu's reaction only further confirmed the other party's identity.

Just as Xiao Jingfu turned around, Hu Yi stood not far behind him, holding a sharp longsword in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Jingfu was stunned, his mind went blank, and he clearly hadn't yet realized what was happening.

Hu Yi touched the edge of his sword and said calmly, "Jiang Yun, I know you have many doubts. Someone wants your life. Since our Fox Clan's Twin Fiends have made their move, you certainly cannot survive."

"No..." Xiao Jingfu opened his mouth to explain.

Looking at Jiang Yun's panicked expression, Hu Yi smiled coldly to himself. He hadn't expected Jiang Yun to be all bark and no bite. The information said that he was resourceful and had considerable strength.

It seems the person who provided the information exaggerated a bit.

"Shut up! I know you want to know who wants to kill you!" Hu Yi lightly shook the long sword in his hand: "But I won't tell you. Asking won't change anything."

"I..." Xiao Jingfu was about to speak when, in an instant, a terrifying demonic aura swept out from Hu Yi.

You can question Hu Yi's intelligence, but you cannot question his abilities.

After all, he was a top expert of the third-grade demon king realm of the fox clan.

In an instant, Hu Yi swung his sword, and a powerful demonic aura crashed down on Xiao Jingfu and Tao Kui.

In a moment of urgency, Tao Kui quickly grabbed Xiao Jingfu beside her and dodged to the side.

With a deafening roar, the ground where the two had just stood was cleaved by the demonic energy of the sword, leaving a crack more than ten meters long.

Just as the two lunged to the side to dodge, Hu Meier, who had been waiting for a long time, was already hidden in the shadows and slapped Xiao Jingfu hard in the chest.

The moment Xiao Jingfu was struck by this palm, the protective jade pendant he carried with him burst forth with a strong and dazzling light!
Protect his body.

At the same time, the jade pendant shattered.

Despite the protective jade pendant, Xiao Jingfu still coughed up blood, suffered severe injuries, and his internal organs were almost shattered.

He fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Hu Meier's eyes turned cold: "Good heavens, he even has a protective jade pendant to save his life."

After saying that, he prepared to raise his hand and deliver another blow to end the man's life.

Unexpectedly, Tao Kui quickly stepped in front of Xiao Jingfu to block him.

"Senior, you've misunderstood!" Tao Kui's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly explained, "We're on the same side."

"Who's on your side!" Hu Meier's eyes were fierce as she prepared to strike with her palm.

Tao Kui quickly turned around, revealing her fox tail.

Looking at the fluffy fox tail in front of her and the fox demon aura emanating from Tao Kui, Hu Meier's raised hand hovered in mid-air, her mouth agape, speechless.

Hu Yi, who was behind her, also rushed over. After reaching Hu Meier's side, he asked, "Why aren't you making a move?"

“We seem to have made a mistake…” Hu Meier said to Hu Yi in a low voice, her face dark. “It seems that the two of them are actually on our side.”

Hu Yi was taken aback and asked, "Who are you two?"

"I am Tao Kui, and I am the one who invited you two seniors here," Tao Kui quickly explained. "This is the Fourth Prince..."

"Oh, Hu Meier, you're really one of us." Seeing this, Hu Yi quickly distanced himself: "I'm telling you, why did you have to be so ruthless? You've made the Fourth Prince look like this. If he dies, all our efforts will be in vain."

Seeing that this bastard was able to clear his name so quickly, Hu Meier argued angrily, "Is this my fault? Your sword strike just now was pretty vicious too."

"Anyway, you're the one who injured him, it has nothing to do with me."

"No, if he's the fourth prince, then who is Jiang Yun?" Hu Meier asked, startled.

Hu Yi touched his hair: "Yeah, let's go ask Die Die."

"Bullshit, he's probably Jiang Yun!" Hu Meier finally came to her senses.

The two exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought.

To their surprise, at that moment, a figure flew swiftly from the direction of the palace and landed on the roof.

Feng Yu, dressed in the attire of a chief eunuch, stood with his hands behind his back and looked down with an unpleasant expression.

After he left Sanqing Temple, he kept a close eye on any activity in the vicinity of Sanqing Temple.

Just now, I suddenly sensed two powerful and overwhelming demonic energies coming from the Sanqing Temple.

He realized that Jiang Yun was probably in trouble, so he flew here immediately.

But when they landed on the roof and looked down, they were immediately dumbfounded.

The fourth prince, Xiao Jingfu, lay on the ground, seriously injured and spitting blood. He was unconscious, and there were three demons beside him.

For a moment, the scene before her eyes left Feng Yu's mind reeling. What was going on?

Sanqing Temple.

Two demons at least at the third-rank demon king level.

The fourth prince, severely injured and attacked.

Where is Jiang Yun?
Where did Jiang Yun go?
Although he couldn't quite figure out the connection at first, Feng Yu took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"What kind of monster dares to injure my Fourth Prince of the Great Zhou!" Hu Yi and Hu Meier exchanged a glance.

Then Hu Yi whispered in Hu Meier's ear, "Where did this old man come from?"

Hu Meier frowned: "Kill him?"

Hu Yi shook his head and said softly, "No, we're assassins. Our target is Jiang Yun. We're doing this for a bribe. How can we take one bribe and kill two people?"

"There's no benefit to it, what's the point of killing this old man?"

Hu Meier also felt that Hu Yi's words made sense, so she looked up at Feng Yu and said, "What do you do? We're killing people ourselves, what's it to you?"

Feng Yu pointed to her clothes: "What clothes am I wearing?"

Hu Yi: "The attire of eunuchs in the Zhou Dynasty."

Who did you injure?

Hu Yi: "The fourth prince of Zhou."

Feng Yu said with a dark face, "Then tell me, does this matter have anything to do with me?"

The moment he finished speaking, Feng Yu leaped down from the sky and struck Hu Yi with a palm.

In an instant, Hu Yi felt the old man's aura change drastically, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making him feel suffocated.

That old eunuch's power is terrifying.

Hu Yi quickly mobilized all the demonic energy in his body, gathered it in his palm, and struck out at the old eunuch.

There was a loud bang.

The powerful magic sent Hu Yi flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and smashing through the courtyard wall of the Sanqing Temple.

Hu Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at the old eunuch, a wave of surprise washing over him.

This old eunuch is at least a freakishly powerful expert at the second rank.

Hu Yi knew, of course, that the capital of Zhou was full of hidden talents and countless experts, but he did not expect that he and his companion would encounter such a powerful expert so soon after arriving in the capital.

Upon seeing this, Hu Meier turned around and tried to run away.

"You injured the Fourth Prince and still want to escape!" Feng Yu waved his hands and unleashed a palm strike from a distance.

In an instant, Hu Meier was struck in the back, coughing up blood and her hair becoming disheveled.

Feng Yu instantly flew to her side, raised his hand and pressed it hard on her forehead, forcibly suppressing her, and asked in a cold voice, "Speak, who sent you to kill the Fourth Prince!"

Xiao Yuzheng now has only three princes left, and is currently at a critical juncture in choosing his successor.

At this very moment, the Fourth Prince was attacked by the Demon King of the Demon Clan.

The impact of this matter is considerable!
"Hu Yi!" Hu Meier, who was being restrained, looked at the wall behind her that Hu Yi had smashed down, hoping that Hu Yi would come to her rescue.

But when he looked back, all that remained of Hu Yi was ruins and rubble.

That bastard has already escaped!
Feng Yu looked back and frowned slightly, realizing that the demon had escaped.

His gaze fell on Hu Meier, then turned to the unconscious Xiao Jingfu and Tao Kui.

Tao Kui's expression changed; Xiao Jingfu had already fainted.

Moreover, even if Xiao Jingfu were still awake, he would never admit to having any connection with this vixen.

"I, I..." Tao Kui looked at the murderous intent in Feng Yu's eyes and, with no other choice, raised her fist and punched herself hard in the forehead.

With a thud, he collapsed unconscious...

"This little demon is quite cowardly." Feng Yu snorted coldly, then raised his sleeve, revealing a simple firework inside. He quickly released it towards the Sanqing Temple.

Not long after, the Embroidered Uniform Guards of the Northern Garrison arrived at the scene.

Seeing the scene before them, they quickly sent Xiao Jingfu to the Imperial Physician's Office for treatment, and immediately sealed Hu Meier's cultivation and Tao Kui, who had knocked them unconscious with a single punch, and took them back to the Northern Garrison Prison.

Feng Yu's eyes were gloomy as he coldly reminded them, "Listen up, all of you. These two prodigies are suspected of murdering the Fourth Prince. They must be kept under strict guard. If she escapes, none of you will be able to escape responsibility."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, many of the Imperial Guards couldn't help but look at Hu Meier, thinking to themselves, "This monster has gone mad, running to the capital to plot against the Fourth Prince."
"I..." Hu Meier's cultivation was sealed. She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end she could only take a deep breath and grit her teeth as she was taken away.

Feng Yu also had a solemn expression. After thinking for a while, he quickly headed towards the direction of the palace.

Late at night, Xiao Yuzheng, who had already gone to sleep, was gently woken up by Feng Yu.

Awakened by Feng Yu, Xiao Yuzheng rubbed his temples, put on a long robe, and asked, "What happened?"

Feng Yu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! His Highness the Fourth Prince has been attacked by two third-rank demon kings!"

"He is currently seriously injured and is receiving treatment at the Imperial Physician's Office."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuzheng's eyes flashed with anger, and his voice grew even colder: "Who did this? How dare they injure my prince in the capital!"

After saying that, Xiao Yuzheng slammed his hand hard on the cabinet next to him: "What happened? Tell me in detail."

This matter has indeed crossed Xiao Yuzheng's bottom line. No matter how much the people of Zhou fight, no one would dare to harm a prince's life.

"Today, when I arrived at the Sanqing Temple, I saw three demons inside."

Feng Yu quickly recounted the events in detail.

After listening, Xiao Yuzheng couldn't help but frown and asked Feng Yu, "Wait, why is Jing Fu at the Sanqing Temple in the middle of the night?"
