Catching Monsters

Chapter 401 You two, from which immortal mountain?
Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Ao Yu was slightly taken aback. She looked at Jiang Yun with some confusion and asked, "You want to see that guy?"

“That’s right.” Jiang Yun nodded. “Miss Ao, is this convenient for you?”

“This isn’t a matter of convenience.” Ao Yu remained silent for a while before saying, “The identities of these two are extremely mysterious and strange. If you want to see them, you’ll probably need my father’s approval.”

"Furthermore, my father is currently interrogating the two of them. Even if you wish to see them, you will likely have to wait until my father has finished his questioning."

Hearing Ao Yu say this, Jiang Yun nodded in understanding.

……

The underground ice prison of the Dragon Palace is a secret prison built beneath the Dragon Palace, with only eight rooms inside.

It is called the Ice Prison because the entire secret chamber is made of extremely cold ice that does not melt for hundreds of years.

Anyone without cultivation will be instantly frozen into an ice cave upon slight touch.

This place was named Ice Prison.

At this moment, Sun Xiaopeng and Ai Tangtang were bound by the Demon Emperor's ropes and each thrown into a room in the Ice Prison.

Sun Xiaopeng lay on the ground, struggling to get up, but the ropes binding him tightened the more he struggled.

At the same time, footsteps slowly echoed from above the ice cave.

The Demon Emperor Ao Lie slowly descended from above, his gaze coldly fixed on Sun Xiaopeng and Ai Tangtang.

"Gentlemen, now we can have a proper chat, right?" Ao Lie said to the two men with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing no murderous intent. Instead, he spoke quite calmly, "As long as you two honestly tell me where you came from, I can spare your lives."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaopeng rolled his eyes and gave Ao Lie a disdainful look. Could the Demon Emperor's promise be trusted?

Seeing that the two ignored him and remained silent, Ao Lie slowly took out the meteorite in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I know that there is a group of mysterious people who are collecting meteorite stones everywhere."

"And you all seem to know the purpose of the Heavenly Meteorite, right?"

"Tell me the purpose of this item, and I will spare you both."

Although Ao Lie knew that the meteorite was a treasure, he did not know its true function and effects.

And this group of mysterious people seemed to know this secret.

Sun Xiaopeng rolled his eyes at Ao Lie, showing no intention of saying anything.

His gaze then fell on Ai Tangtang.

Ai Tangtang was the same, staring blankly at the frigid ice beside the ice cave, as if pondering a question.

She asked, "Is this ice cube tasty?"

"Uh." Ao Lie was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Ai Tangtang stuck out her tongue and licked the extremely cold ice. Soon, her tongue was firmly frozen to the ice.

She took a big bite, breaking the ice around her, and then chewed it in her mouth: "This tastes much better than regular ice."

Even though Ao Lie was a demon emperor with broad knowledge, he had never seen such a demon dragon.

He felt that this Ai Tangtang was probably not very bright.

Turning my head to look at Sun Xiaopeng next to me, I saw that the kid was squatting in the corner drawing circles.

"What are you doing again?"

Sun Xiaopeng chuckled and said, "Just you wait, this is my unique curse technique from Laoshan. I curse you to be struck by lightning when you go out later..."

Is this person stupid?
The two of them together don't seem to have a single, normal brain.

Ao Lie took a deep breath, snorted coldly, and said, "Since you don't want to talk, then you two should stay here obediently."

After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

After Ao Lie left, Sun Xiaopeng looked serious and quickly turned to Ai Tangtang beside him: "Sister Tangtang."

"Is this ice delicious?"

"It's delicious." Ai Tangtang nodded, "But you can't eat it. If you do, you'll freeze..."

Sun Xiaopeng was silent for a moment: "Speaking of which, how are we going to get out of this godforsaken place?"

"I haven't decided yet," Ai Tangtang shook her head.

About half an hour later, footsteps finally sounded again at the entrance above the ice cave.

Ao Yu led Jiang Yun toward the Ice Prison.

On the way, Ao Yu turned back to remind Jiang Yun, "This Ice Prison is made of extremely cold ice, which my father retrieved from the coldest place. If you're not careful, you might..."

Before the words were even finished, the two saw Ai Tangtang biting into an ice cube on the wall...

Seeing this, Jiang Yun was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ao, this extreme cold and ice doesn't seem to be very impressive..."

Ao Yu: "..."

Ao Yu never expected that someone would actually eat the extreme cold ice as if it were ice.

"Who is this? A human?" Sun Xiaopeng's gaze fell on Jiang Yun.

"Is he the one who used magic?" Jiang Yun's gaze fell on Sun Xiaopeng.

“Miss Ao, please go up first. I have some questions I'd like to ask them alone.”

Upon hearing this, Ao Yu didn't say much, as she wasn't particularly interested in the matter. She simply reminded Jiang Yun, "These two are quite strong; be careful."

After finishing speaking, Ao Yu turned and left.

Their magical powers were not sealed, so there was no concern that they would escape.

Because Ao Lie could sense any movement in this ice prison.

Unless they can defeat Ao Lie in a direct confrontation, there is no way they can escape.

After Ao Yu left, Jiang Yun stared at Sun Xiaopeng, made a hand seal, and said, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"

Sun Xiaopeng paused for a moment, glanced at Ai Tangtang subconsciously, and then stared at Jiang Yun: "Where did this idiot come from?" "What do you do?" Sun Xiaopeng asked.

Seeing that Sun Xiaopeng couldn't match the slogan, Jiang Yun was also a little confused, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist, you also cultivate the Three Pure Ones Method? Where did you learn your Three Pure Ones Method?"

"I am Jiang Yun from the Sanqing Temple."

Jiang Yun of Sanqing Temple?
Seeing that Sun Xiaopeng was still too lazy to talk to him, Jiang Yun asked, "I know Yunhai and Mao Dacai. Are you two with them?"

"You know Boss Yunhai?" Sun Xiaopeng finally looked at Jiang Yun properly after hearing this.

Sure enough, they were in cahoots.

After Jiang Yun sat down on the ground, he asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist, since we are fellow practitioners, could you tell me what the use of this meteorite is?"

Ao Lie agreed to let Ao Yu bring Jiang Yun in to meet these two people because he naturally hoped that Jiang Yun could learn about the function of the meteorite from them.

Of course, Jiang Yun had always been curious about this question.

“It’s completely useless.” Ai Tangtang spoke up at this moment, saying, “A mere fragment of a meteorite is no different from an ordinary stone.”

"It can only be used when all seven meteorites are collected."

"As for its function, it's no use asking us, we've never used it."

"Only Liu Boqing knows."

Liu Boqing?
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

Sun Xiaopeng then smiled at Jiang Yun and said, "Fellow Daoist, since we are all of the same path, why not help us leave this place?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "How would you like me to help you, fellow Daoist?"

"If you want me to take you away directly, that's definitely not possible."

"I had to ask Miss Ao for help before she agreed to let me in to see you two."

After listening to Jiang Yun's words, Sun Xiaopeng thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "After you go back to Zhou, if you run into Boss Yunhai or Cat Dacai, just tell them that we are currently being held here."

This request wasn't unreasonable for Jiang Yun.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yun said, "The Zhou Kingdom is vast and rich in resources. It is not an easy thing to encounter the two of them."

Ai Tangtang slapped his forehead and then said, "If you really can't find them, you can go directly to Penglai and tell the people there that we are trapped here."

Penglai?

Jiang Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing this word, which she had heard in her previous life.

Sun Xiaopeng explained, "It's that overseas fairy mountain. You've heard the legends about overseas fairy mountains, haven't you?"

Jiang Yun glanced at the two of them and asked, "You two, from which immortal mountain?"

Sun Xiaopeng and Ai Tangtang did not answer the question. Seeing this, Jiang Yun simply stopped asking and said, "Since you two asked me for help, I can't just help you for nothing, can I?"

"What benefits do you want?" Sun Xiaopeng looked Jiang Yun up and down.

"I would like to ask you, fellow Daoist, why you possess the Three Pure Ones Daoist arts." Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "In this world, are there any other people who possess the Three Pure Ones Daoist arts?"

“I naturally learned it, but I can’t tell you where I learned it. As for whether there are other people in the world who can do it, I don’t know.” Sun Xiaopeng shook his head.

Hearing Sun Xiaopeng's answer only made Jiang Yun more confused.

Just then, footsteps sounded again at the entrance to the Ice Prison. Ao Yu quickly walked down from above. With a sullen face, she walked quickly to Jiang Yun's side and said in a low voice, "Wei Li just sent a message saying that the child you saved before has been found, and he asked me to ask you whether you want to save him."

Upon hearing Ao Yu's words, Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Yan Jiu?"

strangeness.

If Wei Li had captured Yan Jiu, he would definitely have kept it a secret to avoid me having to rescue him. Why would he have sent someone to deliver the message?
Furthermore, before parting ways with Yan Jiu, Jiang Yun had made it very clear to him that if he were captured again, she would no longer care about his affairs.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly, and he glanced at Sun Xiaopeng and Ai Tangtang, who were locked in the prison.

He also knew that this fellow traveler named Sun Xiaopeng was hiding something from him and had not revealed it.

Of course, even if I continued to ask, I probably wouldn't get any more information.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, then turned around and walked quickly out of the Ice Prison with Ao Yu, heading outside.

After leaving the Ice Prison, he rushed back to Ao Yu's palace, where he first met Linglong.

Beside Linglong stood a tiger-clan demon.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yun asked as he entered the living room, his gaze immediately turning to Linglong.

Linglong then said in a deep voice, "Wei Li sent word that Yan Jiu was caught acting suspiciously when he was preparing to leave the city, and was then captured by the Snake Clan."

"The monster that captured Yan Jiu is named Chang Yuning, the eldest son of the snake clan. Wei Li then sent someone to inform him."

"Who is this Yan Jiu to you?" Ao Yu asked in a low voice, standing to the side with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Yun remained silent for a long time, unable to put it into words.

In the living room, the tiger-like demon hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, my master Wei instructed me to invite you to rescue Yan Jiu."

"In short, we cannot let Yan Jiu fall into the hands of the snake clan."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun instantly understood what Wei Li meant.

In Wei Li's view, Yan Jiu was the sorcerer mentioned in that proverb.

He wasn't sure if Yan Jiu was the key, or the opportunity, to revive the Demon Saint.

However, anything even remotely related to the resurgence of the Demon Saint is something they should take very seriously.

Even if the Tiger Clan cannot obtain Yan Jiu, they cannot easily allow the Snake Clan to take Yan Jiu away.

After figuring these things out, Jiang Yun took a deep breath, turned to Ao Yu beside him, and asked, "Do you know this Chang Yuning? What is his strength?"
