Catching Monsters

Chapter 483 All Left in the Capital

At this moment, Wu Chi's chest had been pierced by a huge wound. Xu Suwen anxiously covered the wound on his chest, but blood continued to flow out.

Xu Suwen was genuinely anxious. You see, she and Xu Xiaogang were practically raised by Wu Chi.

Although Wu Chi was only a butler, in the eyes of the Xu family, he was no different from a relative.

Wu Chi trembled slightly, but disregarding his own life, he slowly opened his mouth: "Miss, run..."

"Uncle Wu, don't say anything. I'm going to find Qiaoqiao. Gugu can definitely heal your injuries." Xu Suwen gritted her teeth.

Chang Pingzhi pulled the arrow from his palm, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. He hadn't been injured for many years, but he never expected to be hurt by a human.

Chang Pingzhi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but Chang Xing, who was standing next to him, quickly grabbed Chang Pingzhi's wrist and said, "This woman cannot be killed, she really cannot be killed. Killing her will cause a terrible disaster!"

"Get out of my way." Chang Pingzhi raised his hand and threw Chang Xing aside. He rushed forward instantly, leaped up, and raised his palm. This palm carried a strong demonic aura.

Xu Suwen had no time to dodge or escape. Although she was skilled, in front of this third-grade demon king, killing her was no different from killing an ordinary person.

With a loud bang, the palm struck Xu Suwen hard in the abdomen.

In that instant, the small yellow talisman, about half the size of a palm, that Xu Suwen carried inside her clothes suddenly emitted a burst of intense light.

This is something Jiang Yun gave her to carry with her.

Intense pain instantly swept through Xu Suwen's entire body. She clutched her abdomen and collapsed to the ground in agony.

The yellow amulet instantly burst into flames under the attack of this palm strike.

"what."

Chang Pingzhi lowered his head slightly, glanced at the burning amulet, and said calmly, "What is this?"

The well-informed Chang Yujian said, "A Taoist protective talisman, that's quite a rare item, and it can even block one of your palms..."

At this moment, Xu Suwen had completely fallen into a coma. If it weren't for the talisman, this single palm strike would probably have taken her life.

Just as Chang Pingzhi was about to continue his attack and kill the woman.

Chang Xing, who was behind him, seemed to remember something and shouted, "Don't kill her! This woman is Jiang Yun's fiancée!"

"Let Jiang Yun exchange Yan Jiu for the person. Jiang Yun will definitely hand the person over to us."

Upon hearing Chang Xing's words, Chang Yujian's eyes lit up slightly, and he slowly said, "You should have said so earlier. Men, take this woman back to our residence and lock her up."

……

Almost at the same time, Jiang Yun was having his men deal with the mess that had been made of the Sanqing Temple.

He knew that the group of monsters who had come to the Sanqing Temple to cause trouble were all quite powerful.

Thinking it best to avoid trouble, Jiang Yun didn't intend to cause any trouble for those guys because of this.

At this moment, he and Wen Chen were wiping the statue of the Three Pure Ones together.

"Master, we can only wait until tomorrow morning to ask some craftsmen to come and restore those floor tiles."

Wen Chen wiped the statue of the Three Pure Ones and breathed a slight sigh of relief, saying, "Fortunately, they didn't do anything reckless and didn't destroy the statue of the patriarch."

Just as Jiang Yun was about to reply, he suddenly paused slightly.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Jiang Yun's expression hardened as he sensed that the protective talisman he had given Xu Suwen had been activated.

Has something happened to Xu Suwen?

not good!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun rushed out of the main hall, then soared into the air, and with a wave of his hand, the Three Pure Ones Flying Staff appeared in Jiang Yun's hand.

In the front courtyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, nearly twenty corpses lay on the ground, all of them having been slit in the throat with a single sword stroke.

At this moment, many maids and servants were carrying the corpses together.

Tao Yuelan also looked surprised; she was still unaware of what had happened.

Suddenly, Jiang Yun arrived, descending from the sky and landing steadily in the front yard. He glanced at the many corpses on the ground, not finding Xu Suwen's body, and breathed a sigh of relief before hurriedly asking, "Auntie, what happened?"

Tao Yuelan shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall in the back just now."

"Suddenly, the sounds of fighting came from the front yard. Later, a servant came to inform me that a group of thugs had suddenly appeared in the front yard..."

Tao Yuelan didn't really know the specifics; she only knew that after arriving in the front yard, she saw the scene before her.

Just then, Wu Chi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly coughed slightly.

He was still alive. Jiang Yun hurriedly came to Wu Chi's side and glanced down at the wound on his chest: "Uncle Wu, quick, go to Qiaoqiao's courtyard and bring Gugu here."

"Miss, they've been captured by those people." Wu Chi was barely holding on. He was only clinging to life because he wanted to tell Jiang Yun what had happened.

Jiang Yun's expression darkened, and he rushed to Jiang Qiaoqiao's room as fast as he could. Jiang Qiaoqiao was at the academy and hadn't returned yet. Xiao Hei was hiding in a corner of the room; it had probably sensed a terrifying aura coming from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

At this moment, I was trembling a little.

Jiang Yun carried Xiao Hei back to the front yard and quickly placed Xiao Hei on Wu Chi's lap.

The little black cat emitted a faint glow on Wu Chi's body, and Jiang Yun touched Wu Chi's neck to feel his pulse.

The pulse was extremely weak.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with anger. These bastards, do they really think they can't handle you?

Jiang Yun's eyes were clouded as he said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely bring Suwen back safely."

After saying that, he quickly returned to the Eastern Garrison Command.

Back at the Eastern Garrison Command, as night fell, a red firework lit up the sky above the Command Command.

This was also the highest-level summons issued by the Eastern Garrison Command.

All members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, regardless of whether they have a mission to perform, must return to the Eastern Garrison Command immediately upon seeing this signal.

Soon, the Imperial Guards from all over the capital rushed to the yamen.

The total number of Eastern Garrison Commanders within the capital city is 1,400.

Qi Da and Zhu Zanyu also rushed back and came to Jiang Yun's study.

"Sir, what happened?" Zhu Zanyu asked, his face filled with confusion.

Zidane was helping to deal with the situation inside the Sanqing Temple when he vaguely guessed what was going on.

"Does our Eastern Garrison Command have any information about where the snake clan lives?" Jiang Yun asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zanyu nodded and said, "We also have people keeping watch at the mansion at No. 4 Liuyu Street in the outer city."

"Everyone assemble and seal off this mansion. No one is allowed to leave," Jiang Yun said in a deep voice.

Jiang Yun, with a stern face, continued, "Also, send someone to the palace to inform Eunuch Feng that I intend to leave all these snake demons in the capital."

"Kill them all?" Zhu Zanyu's expression changed drastically, and he was somewhat alarmed.

Zidane didn't know what had happened either, but these snake demons had almost destroyed the Sanqing Temple just now, and Lord Jiang hadn't even gotten angry.

After thinking for a moment, Zida said in a low voice, "My lord, these snake demons are quite powerful. It would be very difficult for us to kill them all on our own."

"I'm afraid we'll have to ask the academy, Buddhist temple, or even the three major Taoist temples to help; that would be the safest course of action."

Qi Da was considered Jiang Yun's staunch subordinate. He didn't question whether Jiang Yun's request was feasible; he simply reminded Jiang Yun to call more people.

Zidane continued, "However, the academy has never liked to have contact with our Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the Buddhist temples and Taoist schools..."

"Don't worry, you guys go and surround those snake demons first." Jiang Yun paused, "Right now, aren't there still two groups of experts in the capital?"

Zidane's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

……

Hu Yi was staying in the fox clan's residence; he did not go out to search for Yan Jiu's whereabouts.

The other fox clan experts were all thinking that they would discover Yan Jiu and then accomplish a great feat...

Hu Yi, however, had no interest in this. He sat on a recliner in the courtyard, pondering how to get back to that immortal island and get the immortals there to keep him as their mount.

Hu Yi now believes that he has broadened his horizons and no longer cares much about whether he can make contributions to the fox clan.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard. Hu Yi sat up abruptly from his chair and looked outside.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, how did you find my place? Oh right, the capital is your territory, so it's not surprising that you knew we lived here."

"Quick, quick, sit down. Why do you look so gloomy? You look terrible."

With a sullen face, Jiang Yun sat down at a stone table before saying, "Brother Hu, where is Elder Hu Yuange of your Hu clan? I would like to see him and have a chat with him."

"Elder Hu took some people out to look for that Yan Jiu, right? Those guys always say I'm stupid." Hu Yi said with a sneer, "If you ask me, they're the ones with problems. This capital city is so big, and we only have a dozen or so people here."

"What's the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack?"

"By the way, what do you need Elder Hu for?"

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "If you have something important to say to him, go and inform him that I have information about Yan Jiu's whereabouts and that he can do me a favor. In return, I will tell him where Yan Jiu is."

"What can I do for you?" Hu Yi patted his chest. "I'll do it for you."

Jiang Yun shook her head: "You alone are not enough."

"I want all the snake clan experts who came to the capital this time to stay in the capital."
