Catching Monsters

Chapter 525 He is incredibly blessed

"Your Majesty, in this matter, no matter how many faults there are, it is indeed the fault of my Tiger Clan."

"You know, Wei Nan is something else. Why did he suddenly start a fight with Miss Ao Yu?"

"He's already so much older than Miss Ao Yu, isn't this bullying a young girl?"

"It is only reasonable for you to teach me a lesson."

Inside the main hall of the Dragon Palace, Tiger Clan Chief Wei Tiangang stood with many rare and precious materials accumulated by the Tiger Clan beside him.

It is used to apologize to the dragons.

Ao Lie sat above, his expression calm, and slowly said, "Since you have come in person to apologize, I will not blame Elder Wei Nan for this matter. Let it be a one-time exception. If you do it again in the future, it will not end so easily."

Wei Tiangang clenched his fist slightly, took a deep breath, and smiled bitterly with his head down: "Don't worry, Lord Ao Lie, Elder Wei Nan will not have the chance to do it again in the future."

Even though Wei Tiangang was furious after learning of Wei Nan's death and the cause and effect, the situation was beyond his control, and he was determined to fight the Dragon Clan to the death.

The result will likely be exactly what Ao Lie wanted, and the Tiger Clan will probably suffer even more casualties among its experts.

The gain outweighs the loss.

Seeing the bitterness on Wei Tiangang's face, Ao Lie slowly stood up and said, "Alright, if Chief Wei has nothing else important to do, he should go back first."

"Yes." Wei Tiangang turned around and prepared to leave.

Ao Lie suddenly asked, "By the way, where's Hu Xinglan? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Tiangang shook his head: "I don't know about that."

……

Unlike Dragon Crystal City, where the dragons live.

Dragon Crystal City is located in the central area of ​​the entire Demon Kingdom, a place with convenient transportation and abundant spiritual energy.

The place where the fox clan lives is called Fox Valley, a basin in the Demon Kingdom. It is said that the fox clan's Demon Saint Ancestor became a demon in this Fox Valley and cultivated step by step until he reached the Saint Realm.

In the land of the fox clan, there was a town-like place, inhabited entirely by fox clan members, making it difficult for outsiders to approach.

Throughout the town, most of the foxes live in human form, though many still retain their fox tails.

The men are handsome, and the women are beautiful.

Perhaps this can be considered a characteristic of the fox clan.

At this moment, in the very center of the town, there stood a rather large mansion, which was the residence of Hu Xinglan, the chieftain of the fox clan.

Inside the dwelling, many prominent fox spirits arrived, transforming into their true forms and gathering in the courtyard.

Directly in front of them lay Hu Yuange's decapitated corpse, and hundreds of fox demons were howling with their heads raised.

This is also a special funeral for the fox clan, used to commemorate the dead.

Then, a group of foxes went up and carried Hu Yuange's body out of the town to bury it in a grave that had been dug in advance.

After finishing all that, Hu Xinglan returned to the mansion with a gloomy expression, and followed a narrow, dark passage to the basement.

Yan Jiu is being held captive in the basement.

However, this basement doesn't look like a place used to imprison Yan Jiu.

Instead, it was decorated with extreme luxury; the floor was covered with genuine animal hides, and the bed was made of fine nanmu wood.

There were even two incredibly beautiful young female fox demons serving Yan Jiu inside.

This made Yan Jiu feel very uncomfortable.

Upon seeing Hu Xinglan arrive, Yan Jiu hurriedly stood up from his chair and said, "Clan Chief Hu, you should let these two young ladies leave. I can't sleep soundly with them here."

Hu Xinglan chuckled and waved his hand, signaling the two little foxes to step back.

After the two little foxes left, he sat down in a chair and said slowly, "Yan Jiu, I heard that you have a difficult life and have never enjoyed these things. It is only natural that you are not used to it at first. You will get used to it."

"How can I get used to this?" Yan Jiu smiled wryly, then whispered, "When I sleep at night, these two girls sneak up next to me, blow into my ear, and even touch me."

"I can't sleep at all."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xinglan chuckled, then his expression turned serious as he said, "Yan Jiu, when you first came to the Fox Clan, I told you that we should be partners, and I don't want to harm you."

"As long as you can help find the whereabouts of the Demon Saint Ancestor and revive him, you can have whatever wealth and glory you want in the future."

"I know that you still long for that human world."

"But you are now a demon, no longer human."

"You don't know how treacherous humans can be. If you really go back to the human world and they discover your true identity, do you think they will still believe you are human?"

"No, they'll just see you as a monster."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiu frowned and said, "Clan Chief Hu, I know you believe that I have a relationship with the Demon Saint Ancestor because of a proverb."

"But what way could I, an ordinary demon, possibly have to revive the Demon Saint?"

"If even important figures like you can't do it, how could I possibly do it?"

Hu Xinglan said in a deep voice, "Think about it more, see if you have any ideas, anything is fine."

"I..." Yan Jiu closed his eyes, recalling the events. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, ever since I became a demon, I've been having three strange dreams."

“Three strange dreams?” Hu Xinglan frowned. Yan Jiu nodded emphatically, then closed his eyes and said, “They are three very strange places.”

"The first thing was the yellow sand that filled the sky, the dust flying everywhere, obscuring the sun, and making it impossible to distinguish east from west or north from south."

"In this first dream, I got lost in the vast yellow sand."

"The second dream was on a snow-capped mountain range, stretching endlessly."

"In my third dream, I dreamt of a vast ocean... I was on a small boat, drifting on the sea."

After recounting these three dreams, Yan Jiu added, "Ever since I became a demon, I've been having these three strange dreams in a recurring cycle."

"Three locations? Desert, snow-capped mountains, and the vast ocean." Hu Xinglan closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the three demon saints are sleeping in these three locations respectively?"

"I don't know, and I can't guarantee it," Yan Jiu shook his head.

Hu Xinglan: "But you're being too vague. Just think about the vast desert. Do you know how big the desert in the northwest of Zhou is?"

"The snow-capped mountains to the north are numerous and towering."

"Not to mention the ocean."

That's too vague. Isn't it the same as saying that the Demon Saint is no different from the Zhou Kingdom continent?
“I… I recognize these places. As long as you take me there, I’ll be able to recognize them,” Yan Jiu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Hu Xinglan was overjoyed. This was already extremely difficult news to obtain, and it was better than being like a headless fly.

But the problem came again.

Desert, snow-capped mountains, ocean...

Even if these three places are indeed where the three demon saints sleep, where is our own ancestor sleeping?

I don't know either.

Hu Xinglan took a deep breath, stared at Yan Jiu and said, "Very good, you should rest well first. Later, I will have someone take you out to find the three places in your dream."

After saying that, Hu Xinglan patted Yan Jiu on the shoulder and said, "You can absolutely trust the promises of our Fox Clan. We are not as domineering and ruthless as the Dragon Clan. The Fox Clan has always been loyal and righteous to our friends."

After emerging from the basement, Hu Xinglan glanced around and then said to the guards watching over the basement, "From today onwards, you two will personally deliver every meal to this kid."

"No one is allowed to go in to see him except me, not even those two little foxes."

What I learned from Yan Jiu today is of great significance!
Hu Xinglan couldn't help but glance in the direction of Dragon Crystal City. Gritting his teeth, he took a deep breath and had some gifts prepared. He wanted to go to Dragon Crystal City in person to apologize to Ao Lie.

If our ancestor is truly about to awaken, the more important it is to keep the dragon clan calm, lest they notice anything amiss.

……

On the beach, Liu Boqing and Zhang Qingfeng were hiding in a crevice between two huge rocks on a rocky beach.

“Mr. Liu, everything should be fine now. No one has come looking for us for so long.” Zhang Qingfeng, peeking through the crack, continued, “However, if we leave without notifying Jiang Yun, wouldn’t that be a bit…”

Liu Boqing, who was standing beside him, closed his eyes slightly and then asked, "Are you saying that we are being somewhat unethical?"

“Hmm.” Zhang Qingfeng nodded: “That person is not bad. Although he has some tricks up his sleeve, he is not a bad person.”

Liu Boqing said calmly, "Don't worry, that kid won't die. He's incredibly lucky."

"May you be blessed with boundless good fortune?" Zhang Qingfeng frowned.

Liu Boqing: "Simply put, he's a tough guy."

As they spoke, a dragon head slowly emerged from beneath the sea: "Liu Boqing, Liu Boqing."

Ai Tangtang arrived. As agreed, she took Yunhai and Sun Xiaopeng back to the Immortal Island, and then turned back to pick up Liu Boqing.

Liu Boqing had no intention of escaping on the giant goose demon bird that Jiang Yun had rented.

On the contrary, the reason he instructed Jiang Yun to rent the wild goose demon bird and then wait for him in the northern forest was precisely because of this.

The reason for this was to prevent people from discovering something was wrong. After investigation, it was found that Jiang Yun's act of renting the wild goose demon bird in the market town was easy to investigate.

Everyone will immediately go after Jiang Yun.

Meanwhile, they waited for Ai Tangtang to meet them on the rocky beach to the west.

However, Jiang Yun's attempt to rent the giant wild goose was delayed because he encountered Hu Yuange and Wei Nan, who were dealing with Ao Yu.

Soon, Liu Boqing and Zhang Qingfeng were captured by Ai Tangtang and flew swiftly along the sea surface, far away from the demon kingdom.

It seems that everyone has a bright future.

Apart from Jiang Yun.

"Miss Ao, you've wronged me terribly! Tell me, when those two guys tried to attack you, I protected you with all my might."

"How did it end up with me being arrested?"

In Ao Yu's courtyard, Jiang Yun complained helplessly.

Ao Yu, standing nearby, added with a smile, "This is my father's decision, and no one can change it..."

"Besides, we didn't lock you up. My father said that as long as you don't leave the Dragon Palace, it's not like we're imprisoning you."

"Besides, I'm with you, right?"
