Catching Monsters

Chapter 479 The servant still has an idea
At this moment, Yan Jiu stood in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture government office, his eyes emitting an eerie green light.

He was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on the gate of the Jingzhao Prefecture government office. His breathing became increasingly rapid, and the demonic aura emanating from his body intensified.

In that instant, Yan Jiu suddenly felt something rushing toward him from behind.

He looked back and saw a huge tiger pounce on the restaurant opposite the government office gate.

Wei Qingshan had already transformed into his true form, opened his blood-red maw, and lunged at Yan Jiu, trying to snatch him away.

Yan Jiu didn't have time to think and instinctively dodged to the side.

Wei Qingshan's true form missed its target and attacked Yan Jiu once again.

"Shut up!"

Two other figures also rushed out of the restaurant.

Hu Zhifeng and Chang Xing caught up from behind. Hu Zhifeng produced a long black stick and smashed it hard at Wei Qingshan's head.

There was a loud bang.

Wei Qingshan shook his head, enduring the excruciating pain, and suddenly raised his head: "Hu Zhifeng, you're asking for death!"

"Then I'll kill you first!"

"Roar!"

With a tiger's roar, Wei Qingshan, enveloped in a powerful demonic aura, charged towards Hu Zhifeng.

Seeing this, Chang Xing's eyes flashed with a light, and while the two were fighting, he silently rushed towards Yan Jiu.

Yan Jiu was a little confused, but he quickly realized that the three monsters were coming for him.

In the blink of an eye, Chang Xing had already rushed to his side.

Yan Jiu leaped onto a rooftop, dodging Chang Xing's attack.

The location of the Jingzhao Prefecture government office was one of the more prosperous areas in the entire Zhou Kingdom, with a considerable flow of people.

Upon seeing the three monsters suddenly appear, people were terrified and scattered in all directions, causing chaos outside the Jingzhao Prefecture government office.

Hearing the commotion outside, many constables inside the government office rushed out.

Seeing the battle between Wei Qingshan and Hu Zhifeng outside, the constables quickly ran back to the government office and closed the gate tightly... for fear that they might accidentally be harmed by these two monsters.

At this moment, Chang Xing saw Yan Jiu jump onto the roof and chased after him, wanting to kill him. However, Hu Zhifeng and Wei Qingshan behind him also realized what was going on after a few rounds of fighting.

Their goal is to capture Yan Jiu, not to fight each other.

The three monsters quickly leaped onto the roof and chased after Yan Jiu.

Yan Jiu knew that if he fell into the hands of these three monsters, he would probably die. He mustered his strength and ran at an extremely fast speed on the roof.

However, his skills were only slightly better than those of an ordinary person, and it wouldn't be easy for him to escape the pursuit of these three monsters.

Chang Xing, Hu Zhifeng, and Wei Qingshan, though only fourth-rank in strength, were more than capable of dealing with Yan Jiu.

In a room of a restaurant opposite the government office, the mysterious man who had lured Yan Jiu there smiled and slowly said, "Now we can finally report back to Elder Zhu."

The three demons were getting closer and closer to Yan Jiu. With no other choice, Yan Jiu could only jump off the roof and into the crowd on the street, hoping to escape in the chaos.

But these three monsters didn't care about anything else. They rushed down the street and smashed through the pedestrians who were blocking their way.

Many people have died or been injured at their hands.

At the same time, many experts from the Northern and Eastern Garrison Divisions, who were already searching for Yan Jiu's whereabouts within the inner city, also heard the commotion.

One by one, the Imperial Guards dressed in flying fish robes came stepping on the rooftops.

"What's going on?" After Li Wangxin arrived on the street, he looked down and saw three demons rampaging through the street.

Li Wangxin's face darkened. He had no idea that these three demons were after Yan Jiu.

However, anger also surfaced in his eyes.

Have these three demons gone mad? How dare they run rampant in the capital!
"My lord, our target is also ahead." A Jinyiwei from the Eastern Garrison Command accompanied Jiang Yun as he brought Yan Jiu back.

At this moment, Yan Jiu's whereabouts were quickly discovered. "That kid can't escape, eliminate the demons first!" Li Wangxin's face darkened. If this dragged on, countless people and nobles in the inner city would die at the hands of these three demons.

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and instantly, a long spear appeared in his hand.

The people on the street were fleeing to the left and right.

Wei Qingshan recklessly charged forward, and at that moment, a maid who had accompanied her young mistress to buy rouge had already become separated from her.

In the chaos, she wanted to find the young lady as soon as possible.

But soon, the giant tiger that Wei Qingshan had transformed into roared and charged toward her.

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground, closing her eyes.

After a while, the maid touched her body and felt no pain. She cautiously opened her eyes and looked ahead.

Li Wangxin's spear had already pierced Wei Qingshan's chest.

Wei Qingshan let out a painful tiger roar, and Li Wangxin kicked him to the ground.

Soon, the Imperial Guards on the roof also took action, and instantly, various demon-catching nets descended from the sky.

When Chang Xing and Hu Zhifeng saw Wei Qingshan fall to the ground with a gunshot wound, they dared not put up a fight...

They recognized him at a glance as Li Wangxin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

If they resist, they might die at Li Wangxin's hands.

Before long, the three demons were captured. Although Wei Qingshan was seriously injured, he was not fatal.

Chang Xing, who was caught in the net, hurriedly said, "You must be Li Wangxin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, right? Please hurry and help us capture Yan Jiu."

"Our snake clan will surely repay you handsomely afterward."

Hu Zhifeng said in a deep voice, "I am a member of the Fox Clan, Lord Li. Give me that boy, and the Fox Clan will give you any benefits you desire."

Even after being captured, the three of them still didn't forget to capture Yan Jiu.

Li Wangxin, who had originally planned to execute these three monstrous individuals in the street as a warning to others, dared not act rashly after hearing the two men reveal their identities.

Their identities are not something Li Wangxin can decide.

He quickly looked ahead, but Yan Jiu had already disappeared without a trace.

……

"Escape?"

"That kid's whereabouts were discovered by the demon race?"

Inside the imperial study, Xiao Yuzheng stood up with a stern face. He looked at Li Wangxin kneeling before him and said reproachfully, "Li Wangxin, Li Wangxin, what can I say about you?"

"I told you to kill Yan Jiu right away, but you've turned things into this mess."

"At worst, it would be better to let Yan Jiu be captured by those three." Xiao Yuzheng said with a stern face.

Now that Yan Jiu is hiding in the capital, the three major demon clans will surely turn the entire capital upside down once they learn the news.

Li Wangxin knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "When I saw those three monsters attacking and killing the people, I was anxious and thought of capturing these three monsters first."

“Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry.” Feng Yu quickly advised from the side, “If Your Majesty finds it troublesome, why don’t you let that kid Jiang Yun think of a solution?”

"Let Jiang Yun come up with a solution?" Xiao Yuzheng frowned slightly. "Didn't you say that Jiang Yun and Yan Jiu have some connection?"

"Having ruled for so many years, I believe I am quite good at judging people."

"Jiang Yun is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. If you really asked Jiang Yun to kill Yan Jiu, I'm afraid he might not be willing."

Feng Yu was silent for a moment: "It's not necessarily the case that Jiang Yun has to kill Yan Jiu. Jiang Yun might have a way to find Yan Jiu."

"This servant has another idea."
