Catching Monsters

Chapter 427 Someone is attacking the barrier!
After Jiang Yun helped Xu Suwen up, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you alright?"

Xu Suwen nodded, glancing with lingering fear at the person Jiang Yun had killed with his magic, before saying, "It's fortunate you arrived in time, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died at their hands today."

Jiang Yun looked at the two people on the roof, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He was also puzzled, wondering what had gotten into these people that they dared to attack Xu Suwen in the capital.

At this moment, the two members of the Demon Spirit Sect on the roof also showed expressions of shock.

A single lightning spell was enough to kill his companion who had just attacked...

The two of them could also feel the terrifying power contained in that lightning bolt. If it had been them, they would probably have been killed instantly.

Even Xiao Feng, a master of Gu insects, knew in his heart that even the two of them combined were no match for Jiang Yun.

“This guy, so young, has probably already reached the third rank.” The middle-aged man beside him said to Xiao Feng with a dark expression, “I’ll stay here to hold him off, Xiao Feng, you run first.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng was slightly moved and said, "Brother Huang, although we had some minor disagreements before, I didn't expect you to be like this at this crucial moment..."

Before he could finish speaking, a master surnamed Huang suddenly struck Xiao Feng on the back, sending him flying towards Jiang Yun, before turning and running away.

Xiao Feng's expression changed, and he cursed the bastard inwardly!

People from the Demonic Sect don't care much about chivalry and loyalty.

Jiang Yun snorted coldly and said, "Trying to escape?"

After saying this, Jiang Yun leaped up and loudly chanted: "If we have hastily destroyed the altar and temple, we must absorb the Qi and then withdraw our troops. I imagine the five Thunder Gods riding the clouds to join me."

boom!
A bolt of lightning struck Jiang Yun instantly.

In an instant, Jiang Yun was filled with overwhelming thunderous power and charged towards Xiao Feng.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng quickly opened his palm, and countless Gu worms flew out, heading towards Jiang Yun, trying to buy himself some time.

Jiang Yun simply couldn't be bothered with these Gu worms.

Numerous Gu worms flew to Jiang Yun's side, and the dense swarm of Gu worms instantly covered Jiang Yun in mid-air.

These worms kept wriggling.

But then, a powerful burst of lightning struck, instantly scorching the Gu worms, which fell to the ground.

Jiang Yun was like a thunder god descending to earth, his pupils flashing with bursts of electricity.

Then, he leaped up and slammed his fist into Xiao Feng's chest, unleashing a torrent of thunderous power.

In an instant, Xiao Feng was electrocuted and passed out.

Jiang Yun held back and didn't kill the guy directly, after all, he still needed to find out where these guys came from.

After the man fainted, Jiang Yun casually tossed out a yellow talisman, which transformed into a yellow banner, and used it to tightly control the man.

Jiang Yun then pursued the fleeing expert surnamed Huang once again.

At this moment, in the bustling street, Huang Qingfei kept moving through the crowded people. He breathed a heavy sigh of relief, glad that he had run fast.

Xiao Feng has probably lost his life.

With the crowds here and me dressed like an ordinary person, it wouldn't be easy for that third-grade expert to spot me.

Thinking of this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing at his successful escape.

Suddenly, a powerful sense of awe and intimidation swept over me from behind.

He didn't dare to turn around and walked forward normally like the passersby, but he always felt that something was wrong, as if the person behind him was locking onto him.

He quickly turned his eyes and slipped into a secluded alley to escape.

The alley was deserted and empty. Huang Qingfei was preparing to hurry up and escape when Jiang Yun's voice came from behind him: "Do you think you can escape?"

Huang Qingfei trembled slightly and slowly turned around to look at Jiang Yun, whose body was still crackling with electricity, staring intently at him.

"I……"

Huang Qingfei was about to speak again, trying to distract Jiang Yun, buy some time, and then find a chance to escape.

But Jiang Yun was too lazy to continue the nonsense and said indifferently, "I don't have the habit of listening to your nonsense..."

He was about to make a move after saying that.

Sweat beaded on Huang Qingfei's forehead as he watched Jiang Yun's imminent attack, and he grew anxious.

These experts from the Demon Spirit Sect have endured countless hardships to reach their current level of cultivation, and they truly do not wish to die here.

He hurriedly said, "Don't kill me, I have something that interests you."

Seeing that Jiang Yun still looked uninterested, he said urgently, "Our Demon Spirit Sect still has many experts who have secretly set up an array to seal off the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and isolate it from the outside world."

"By this time, most of the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion have probably already been killed."

"There is an isolation barrier, so the rest of you in the capital cannot sense what is happening there."

"Let me go, I have a way to enter the barrier."

Huang Qingfei didn't care whether the Demon Spirit Cult's operation would fail because of his words.

For members of the Demonic Sect, selfishness is the primary trait; their own survival is the most important thing.

Upon hearing Huang Qingfei's words, Jiang Yun's expression changed drastically.

These people were actually sent by the Demon Spirit Cult.

The goal was to kill everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?
Almost instantly, Jiang Yun understood the group's motives: the rebel army was suffering setbacks and was being forced into retreat.

"I……"

There was a loud bang.

Jiang Yun punched the man in the chest. Huang Qingfei stared wide-eyed at Jiang Yun in disbelief. He hadn't expected Jiang Yun to kill him so decisively.

"you you……"

"A mere barrier, do I even need you?"

Seeing the person fall to the ground and stop breathing, Jiang Yun rushed back to Xu Suwen's side immediately.

At this moment, Xu Suwen was staring at the unconscious Xiao Feng and asked, "Did you catch up with that person?" "These people are from the Demon Spirit Cult," Jiang Yun said. "Go quickly and inform Eunuch Feng; they've already set up a barrier at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I'll go rescue your aunt first..."

"As for this person, there's no need to keep him around."

After saying that, Jiang Yun quickly headed towards the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, her face filled with anxiety, hoping that her aunt had not been in any trouble.

After arriving in the capital, I received help from Aunt Tao on many occasions.

If Aunt Tao were to die at the hands of the Demon Spirit Cult...

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun quickened his pace.

……

Meanwhile, outside the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, even passing by the main gate, one could not detect anything strange inside; it just felt unusually quiet today.

Inside the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, however, the scene was quite different.

The stench of blood and screams filled the entire Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

The garden, the living room, the steps were filled with the corpses of servants and maids.

At this moment, a dozen or so members of the Demon Spirit Cult were anxiously searching for Tao Yuelan's whereabouts.

In the courtyard outside the main hall, the corpses of many servants of the Duke's mansion were laid out.

At this moment, five servants remained, and they were tied up.

Countless worms kept crawling into and gnawing at the mouths, noses, and ears of the five people. Such torment was beyond what ordinary people could endure.

At this moment, one of the servants, unable to bear it any longer, roared, "Old Duke, I, Old Guo, have come to see you!"

After saying that, he slammed his head hard against the bluestone slab on the ground, leaving a mess of blood and brain matter.

"Another one died?"

Dan Wuling squatted down next to the corpse, sniffed the fresh smell of blood, licked his lips greedily, and then looked at the remaining four servants.

Shan Wuling hadn't expected that these ordinary servants would have such courage.

He refused to reveal Tao Yuelan's whereabouts.

At this time, subordinates kept coming to report that they had not yet found Tao Yuelan's whereabouts.

Dan Wuling narrowed his eyes slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "How big is this Duke Zhenguo's mansion? Can't we find a single person here?"

As he spoke, Shan Wuling's gaze fell on the remaining four people: "As long as you tell me Tao Yuelan's whereabouts, you can live, and I can reward you with countless riches and honors."

"Go ahead."

The remaining four servants, unable to bear it any longer, followed the example of the man before them and committed suicide by smashing their heads against a wall, refusing to reveal Tao Yuelan's whereabouts.

Dan Wuling stroked his chin and said, "Search the souls of these people as well, and see if we can find out Tao Yuelan's whereabouts."

"Yes."

Soon, a subordinate dressed in a black robe came over and began searching the soul, trying to find the source.

……

In a secret room beneath the Duke's mansion, Wu Chi and Tao Yuelan were hiding.

This secret room was extremely well-hidden; within the entire Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, only Wu Chi, Tao Yuelan, Xu Xiaogang, and Xu Suwen knew about it.

It is a place to save one's life in critical moments.

The secret room wasn't very large, only about five square meters. Tao Yuelan sighed, sat on the ground, held a string of Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, and kept chanting scriptures, praying for the servants and maids above.

“Madam, don’t worry. The other servants don’t know the entrance to this place.” Wu Chi glanced at the grain and water in the corner.

This food can last for several days.

Once the Duke's mansion discovers the anomaly, the capital city is teeming with experts, and these members of the Demonic Sect will soon be eliminated.

thump.

Suddenly, Wu Chi and Tao Yuelan fell silent, because footsteps sounded above them.

"Search."

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

Meanwhile, on the ground above, Shan Wuling also began searching, but his soul-searching yielded nothing.

Furthermore, almost all the living creatures remaining in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion have been killed.

Even the small fish kept in the fishpond were not spared.

The leader's order was that no one in the entire Duke Zhenguo's mansion should be left alive; even an ant should be trampled to death.

"Young Master, we can't find it."

"There's probably a secret room."

"Then we'll destroy the entire Duke Zhenguo's mansion," Shan Wuling said in a deep voice.

The subordinate whispered, "Young Master, if we make too much noise, we'll damage the barrier. If the commotion here gets noticed by the experts in the capital, we might not be able to leave the capital alive."

Dan Wuling's eyes darkened, and he suddenly grabbed his subordinate by the neck, saying coldly, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Destroy the entire Zhenguo Duke's Mansion for me. I refuse to believe that even if we dig this place up three feet into the ground, we still won't be able to find Tao Yuelan!"

"Yes, yes." The subordinate's face turned red, and he was almost strangled to death by Shan Wuling.

Dan Wuling narrowed his eyes, preparing to search carefully, when suddenly, a vibration came from the barrier above his head.

His expression changed slightly, and he looked up at the barrier above.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened! Someone is attacking the barrier!"

"We've been discovered."
