Catching Monsters

Chapter 443 Buddhist Assembly (Part 2)

The sounds of fireworks and firecrackers were incessant.

At the Buddhist gathering, many wealthy businessmen were toasting and exchanging drinks.

Just then, Shan Tiangang, the leader of the Demon Spirit Sect, slowly stood up.

As soon as he stood up, the scene fell silent. Shan Tiangang slowly raised a wine glass, smiled, and looked at the wealthy businessmen and guests who had arrived, saying, "Gentlemen, the Demon Spirit Sect will remember your help today."

"I, Shan Tiangang, would like to raise a toast to everyone here."

Sitting at the table, Tuoba Anyi could only grit his teeth and pick up his wine glass, glancing around from time to time.

Damn it, Jiang Yun has disappeared. The key point is, he promised to help make a commotion.

Tuoba Anyi was quite anxious, as many high-ranking members of the Demon Spirit Sect had appeared at the Buddhist Assembly.

Tonight is the best time to get that thing.

After tonight, it will be incredibly difficult to get it again.

But he didn't have a good chance to get away from this place.

He could only raise his glass, just about to drink the wine in his hand.

Suddenly, from the direction of the plaza steps came the exclamations of many disciples of the Demon Spirit Cult who were protecting and surrounding the area.

"What is this!"

"Quick, stop him!"

"what!"

A piercing scream ripped through the night sky, and in an instant, a thick, intense killing intent emanated from the direction of the mountain steps.

In that instant, Shan Tiangang's gaze turned toward the steps.

His perception was extremely sharp, and he quickly discovered that a massive demonic aura was emanating from the direction of the steps.

bang bang.

Several corpses of Demon Spirit Cult disciples were thrown from a distance, landing in the crowd and injuring several wealthy merchants who were unable to dodge in time.

Then came the dull sound of footsteps slowly approaching from the steps.

The Xingxing's pupils emitted a fierce red light, like a god of death, and its throat emitted howls like those of a wild beast.

Many people present were stunned when they saw this enormous creature, which was two zhang tall.

Many wealthy businessmen were stunned, and their first thought was...

The Demon Spirit Cult just took their money, are they going to kill them to silence them?
After all, in their minds, the Demon Spirit Cult was a powerful force, so how could any evil entity dare to come forward and cause trouble?

Of course, there was one person at the banquet whose eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief.

This person is Lu Lingyu.

"Impossible, impossible, how could this guy come to Mount Dalingfo?" Lu Lingyu couldn't help but shake his head, no longer displaying the composure of an elder of the Demon Spirit Sect. Instead, he quickly ran to Shan Tiangang's side and whispered, "Sect Leader! This is the evil creature I summoned in Poqing Town that day!"

"But how did it find its way here!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Tiangang's gaze slowly fell on Lu Lingyu, and he said, "Since it was an evil creature you summoned, what is the method of controlling it?"

Lu Lingyu gave an awkward, wry smile and said respectfully, "Master, this evil creature is uncontrollable..."

I was summoned at the cost of my heart.

That body was already dead.

Moreover, this evil creature is incredibly powerful; it's not something that can be easily controlled.
Dan Tiangang glared at Lu Lingyu with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Why did this guy summon such an uncontrollable evil creature?

But Lu Lingyu also had something to say in her heart...

He summoned this thing in Poqing Town at the time, but who knows how it ended up at Daling Buddha Mountain for no reason?

The Xingxing's eyes were bloodshot; it was an evil beast summoned from the underworld by Lu Lingyu.

But his IQ is not low.

During this time, he constantly endured the burning pain of the flames, and he could sense that the pain was coming from this place.

It roared loudly and charged into the crowd with incredible speed, its extremely long arms tearing flesh and blood apart with a single swing.

Many of the Demon Spirit Cult disciples who stood in front of these wealthy businessmen were instantly smashed into a pool of blood.

Xiao Min'er was also startled by the terrifying evil beast, and she subconsciously glanced at Shan Tiangang not far away.

Dan Tiangang took a deep breath and said, "This mere evil creature dares to run wild in my Demon Spirit Sect."

"Please excuse your distinguished guests."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Lu Lingyu nodded repeatedly and quickly came to Xiao Min'er's side, saying, "Miss Min'er, let's leave this place first."

Of course, there was no need for Shan Tiangang to give any special instructions. At this moment, the wealthy merchants in the square all fled in terror toward the Daling Buddhist Temple behind them.

They were terrified that this terrifying beast would smash them into a pulp with a single blow.

Upon seeing this, Tuoba Anyi was overjoyed. He feigned a look of terror and shouted, "My God! Run!"

After saying that, he ran as fast as he could toward the direction of the Buddhist temple.

With a wave of his hand, Shan Tiangang produced a nearly two-meter-long, jet-black broadsword.

Then, Shan Tiangang rushed forward and slashed at the Xingxing's chest with his sword.

boom!
The powerful shockwave from this strike swept away many wealthy merchants who hadn't had time to escape, knocking them to the ground.

The powerful blade energy cleaved a bloody gash in the Xingxing's chest.

The Xingxing also realized that the person in front of it was the strongest person it had ever encountered since it came to this world.

It let out a strange cry and instead of engaging with Shan Tiangang, it rushed towards the direction of the Great Spirit Buddhist Temple. Wherever it passed, whether they were wealthy merchants or disciples of the Demon Spirit Sect, they all quickly perished.

Upon seeing this, Shan Tiangang cursed inwardly that this beast was a bully who preyed on the weak.

"Soul-binding chains," Shan Tiangang murmured.

In an instant, countless black iron chains emerged from the ground, continuously binding the Xingxing.

Soon, the Xingxing was bound up like a rice dumpling. At the same time, on a dark rooftop on Daling Buddha Mountain, Jiang Yun and Qi Da were dumbfounded by what they saw.

"My lord, the Demon Spirit Cult leader is stronger than we imagined..." Qi Da said in a low voice.

Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly, but he nodded.

He certainly didn't expect Xingxing to be alone, wreaking havoc in the Demon Spirit Cult.

The original plan was to let the Xingxing come over, cause a ruckus, and then leave. After all, in Jiang Yun's previous opinion, it was almost impossible for the Demon Spirit Sect to trap this ferocious beast.

But the strength of this Demon Spirit Cult leader far exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried, since Bai Wuchang had asked him to help him retrieve the Xingxing.

If the Xingxing were to die at the hands of this Shan Tiangang...

Just then, the Xingxing, which had been bound, suddenly let out a loud roar and snapped the chains binding it.

Then, it stopped fighting and smashed through the wall of the Great Spirit Buddhist Temple, heading towards the side rooms inside the temple.

Its purpose in this journey is to find the source of the burning pain it is suffering.

Instead of fighting this expert.

However, Shan Tiangang never killed the Xingxing; instead, he became interested in this evil creature.

It would be a pity to kill such a ferocious and evil creature just like that.

If we could take it over to our own use.

It could become a great asset to the Demon Spirit Cult.

Thinking of this, Shan Tiangang quickly chased after it, wanting to see what this Xingxing was up to.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly. He quickly took out the jade pendant that Bai Wuchang had given him and handed it to Qi Da beside him: "You secretly follow them. If Shan Tiangang is about to kill that Xingxing, you smash this jade pendant."

Upon hearing this, Qi Da touched the jade pendant in his hand, which felt somewhat cold, and asked Jiang Yun, "Sir, what about you?"

"I'll go see what Tuoba Anyi is up to," Jiang Yun said in a low voice.

As the leader of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Anyi came alone, taking such a great risk, so his intentions must be quite significant.

At this moment, due to the mischief caused by the Xingxing, many experts from the Demon Spirit Cult rushed to the direction of the side room to provide assistance.

Tuoba Anyi also pretended to be frightened and ran deeper into the Demon Spirit Sect.

Along the way, many disciples of the Demon Spirit Cult who passed by him paid him no heed.

They assumed that Tuoba Anyi was just a frightened son of a wealthy merchant.

The entire Daling Buddha Mountain complex is very large, and the Buddhist temple is only a very small part of it.

The vast majority of these places were where the disciples of the Demon Spirit Cult and their families lived and practiced their skills.

Further up the mountain, the place becomes increasingly secluded, where the sect leader, Shan Tiangang, resides in a palace at the summit.

Of course, Tuoba Anyi's goal was not the mountaintop, but a hidden cave halfway up the mountain.

Tuoba Anyi held a map of the buildings inside the Daling Buddhist Temple. Soon, he arrived at a relatively central and secluded courtyard built in front of a mountain wall.

From the outside, the courtyard looked quite ordinary, with no apparent difference from other places. There were also two members of the Demon Spirit Cult guarding the entrance.

The two members of the Demon Spirit Cult, wielding curved swords, saw Tuoba Anyi rushing over. One of them said, "Halt! No one is allowed to approach here without the permission of the Cult Leader and the Elders."

Tuoba Anyi, panting heavily and looking 'panicked,' said, 'Gentlemen, you probably don't know what happened up ahead!'

"A monster that was a full two zhang tall suddenly appeared and started killing people everywhere. I panicked and ran here by accident."

"I'll just hide here for a bit, then I'll leave."

The two members of the Demon Spirit Cult exchanged glances, and seeing this, they didn't say anything more, only reminding Tuoba Anyi not to approach casually.

Tuoba Anyi nodded repeatedly, but then said, "You two, why aren't you going to help out in front of this dilapidated courtyard? What are you doing guarding it?"

"Shut up." The two men said calmly, "If you keep babbling, we'll get rough with you."

"Fine, fine, if you don't want to talk, then don't..." Tuoba Anyi suddenly pointed to the distance, his expression changing drastically: "That monster is here!"

The two guards instinctively looked in another direction.

The next moment, Tuoba Anyi rushed forward, drew the dagger he carried with him, and stabbed it viciously into the neck of one of the men.

However, these two were quite strong. Upon seeing this, the other person realized that Tuoba Anyi was in trouble. He quickly distanced himself from Tuoba Anyi and took out a wooden whistle, ready to call for help.

In that instant, a yellow banner descended from the sky, quickly binding the man tightly and rendering him unable to move.

Tuoba Anyi rushed forward and, with a single dagger, ended the man's life.

After wiping the bloodstains from his face, Tuoba Anyi suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

On a rooftop behind him, Jiang Yun was smiling, quietly watching him.

Then Jiang Yun jumped down from the roof and glanced at the two corpses on the ground: "Brother, your skills have declined quite a bit. If I hadn't arrived in time, you probably would have been discovered."

Tuoba Anyi took a deep breath, his expression not good, and said to Jiang Yun, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yun said calmly, "What? I first lured that evil creature here, causing chaos at the scene, so that my brother could escape."

"He also helped my elder brother trap this member of the Demon Spirit Cult, preventing him from sending a signal to call for help."

"I helped my brother twice in one day, but judging from his tone, it seems like he still doesn't like me much?"

Tuoba Anyi's expression shifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Did you bring that evil creature here?"

His eyes held a hint of disbelief, after all, the evil creature's power was terrifying.

It's simply not something Jiang Yun could summon.

"Believe it or not." Jiang Yun stepped forward, dragging a corpse into the courtyard. "Big brother, are you planning to chat outside the courtyard? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the other members of the Demon Spirit Cult?"

Tuoba Anyi then came to his senses and brought the other corpse into the courtyard.

After placing the body down, Tuoba Anyi said, "Thank you, brother. You can go back now. I don't need your help with the rest."

"No way, I'd better stay with my brother." Jiang Yun smiled and looked at the room: "What you want, just face it here, okay?"
