Catching Monsters

Chapter 569 It's good that you've agreed.
"Let's go and search further ahead." Qin Hong frowned deeply. As the two walked away, Shan Tiangang was hiding under a patch of withered leaves not far away.

Dan Tiangang held his breath. A faint layer of demonic energy covered his body, which could not be detected even by divine sense.

Do you really think that Shan Tiangang has dominated the demonic path for so many years by relying on one person and one sword to cut down all his enemies?
fart.

Those who follow the demonic path, especially masters like Shan Tiangang, are all top-notch escape artists.

Even after the two had gone far away, Shan Tiangang still did not move, remaining quietly lying among the withered leaves. Soon, the footsteps of Master Lingxin and Qin Hong could be heard again.

Finally, as the two walked away, Shan Tiangang, who was hiding in the dark, withered grass, finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Then, Shan Tiangang's eyes also turned gloomy. He had failed to kill Jiang Yun this time, and it would be difficult to avenge the killing of his son next time they met.

With Qin Hong and Master Lingxin around, it was fortunate that he managed to escape with his life.

Dan Tiangang sighed inwardly, brushed aside the withered leaves covering his body, made sure no one was around, patted the leaves off his body, and prepared to leave.

But after walking a short distance, he found an old man sitting under a tree, playing chess with him.

Black and white chess pieces are placed on each side of the chessboard.

When did this guy show up?

Dan Tiangang frowned deeply. Master Lingxin and Qin Hong had been searching for him here for a long time, but they hadn't found him.
Dan Tiangang's eyes were gloomy as he coldly glanced at the other party before turning to leave. Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly spoke up, "Master Dan, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why don't you sit down, play some chess with me, and have a chat?"

Were they targeting me?

Dan Tiangang narrowed his eyes slightly, a murderous intent lurking in his heart, and slowly approached the old man: "Who are you?"

"Ye Xiuyuan." The old man smiled and then gestured for the other party to sit down: "Sect Leader Shan, please sit down."

Dan Tiangang failed to sense any magical power fluctuations from Ye Xiuyuan. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his vigilance relaxed a bit.

The reason is simple: he couldn't sense any magical power. Either Ye Xiuyuan really didn't have any magical power and was just an ordinary person.

Either the other person's level of understanding is far superior to one's own.

He himself was already a top expert in the first-grade Heavenly Demon Realm. If the other party's realm was far above his own, what realm would that be?
It could only be a Saint Realm expert.

Whether the police are vigilant or not, it's all in vain.

After he sat down opposite the chessboard, Ye Xiuyuan had the leisure to slowly collect the black and white chess pieces on the board, and then handed over the black piece: "How is Master Shan's chess skill? Want to play a game with me?"

Dan Tiangang was in a hurry to escape, so he had no time for such leisurely pursuits. He waved his hand and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. I have no interest in playing chess."

"I can help you with what Master Shan wants," Ye Xiuyuan said calmly.

"We've only just met, and you already claim you can help me?" Shan Tiangang sneered, then slowly said, "Do you even know what I want?"

"What I want is to reach the Saint Realm. Can you help me with that?"

"Yes." Ye Xiuyuan nodded without hesitation and said slowly, "However, I need some things to do it. The reason I came to find Sect Leader Shan this time is to ask you for my help."

Dan Tiangang sneered: "Such a big mouth. This is the first time I've heard someone say they can help others break through to the Saint Realm."

Ye Xiuyuan calmly said, "Sect Leader Shan, as far as I know, your Demon Spirit Sect has already begun to leave the three southwestern provinces on a large scale, preparing to establish itself in the north of Zhou Kingdom, right?"

"But now that you've caused such a ruckus in the Zhou capital, do you think you can easily establish yourselves in the north?"

"I'm afraid that soon the imperial court will send a large number of experts to besiege the Demon Spirit Sect. Today, Master Lingxin and Qin Hong, who were chasing the sect leader, have left the sect leader unable to resist. Does the Zhou Kingdom's imperial court only have these two first-grade experts?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiuyuan's words, Shan Tiangang's expression darkened, and he remained silent. He knew very well that what Ye Xiuyuan said was the truth.

In fact, even if he didn't cause a ruckus in the capital today, the Zhou court would not easily let the Demon Spirit Sect go.

After all, the Demon Spirit Cult had previously cooperated with the rebels, making it a thorn in the side of the imperial court.

However, the rebels in the three southwestern provinces have not yet been completely wiped out, and the imperial court has not yet been able to deal with the Demon Spirit Cult.

Dan Tiangang said coldly, "You said you could help me reach the Saint Realm, then..." "What do you need?"

Ye Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "Meteorite."

……

"Damn those demonic cultists, they've got some nerve, daring to cause trouble in the inner city."

The Jiang residence was now surrounded by the Imperial Guards brought by Qi Da, who then hurriedly paid a visit.

Upon seeing Jiang Yun, Qi Da hurriedly said, "My lord, I heard about the unusual activity at your residence, so I led my subordinates from the Zhenfu Division here immediately. Fortunately, you are unharmed."

Seeing Zidane's reaction, Jiang Yun smiled and then said, "Commander Qi, you are very kind, but there is no need to worry, I am fine."

"I will first search the streets outside Lord Jiang's residence to make sure there are no more demonic cultivators hiding there." Qi Da certainly couldn't let go of this opportunity to show his abilities. Since Lord Jiang's residence had been attacked, he naturally had to lead his Imperial Guards to thoroughly search the surrounding area.

Of course, he also knew that the demon who had just attacked Jiang Yun's mansion was incredibly powerful.

If it really came down to a fight, he wouldn't have the guts.

But he already knew that the demon had escaped, and he still had the guts to use the pretext of searching for the demon to properly prove his loyalty to Jiang Yun.

Watching Zidane leave quickly, a smile couldn't help but appear on Jiang Yun's face.

Soon, Xu Suwen came up from behind and said, "Husband, I have already sent someone to inform the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion and asked them to send someone to take Miss Feng back."

"Furthermore..." Xu Suwen's expression became somewhat hesitant, but she still said, "Miss Feng is deeply in love with you. In my opinion, you should marry her as your second wife."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "I don't have that kind of feeling for Miss Feng."

Xu Suwen mistakenly thought that Jiang Yun cared about her feelings, and hurriedly said, "I don't mind. In fact, as a member of the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion, Miss Xu is quite favored. If she were to marry into our family, it would be a great help to us."

"As long as Miss Feng and the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion are willing."

Seeing how serious Xu Suwen was, Jiang Yun gave a wry smile and said, "You decide what to do."

"Alright, as long as you agree, that's fine." Xu Suwen nodded repeatedly, clapped her hands, and turned to leave quite happily.

Of course, it's not that Xu Suwen is a magnanimous person.

In this dynasty, it was indeed common to have multiple wives and concubines, but it was also very common for wives to be unhappy when their husbands took concubines. Especially for wives like Xu Suwen, who came from wealthy families, as long as their family's status was high enough, their husbands would not dare to take concubines.

However, after Xu Suwen married into the family, as the lady of the Marquis's mansion, she did not consider trivial matters such as jealousy and rivalry.

Rather, it is the future of the Jiang family. Jiang Yun is indeed at the height of his power and is highly appreciated by His Majesty, but what will happen after His Majesty passes away?

Does the new emperor not like the Jiang family?
This is a problem that all wealthy families in Beijing will encounter.

For newly established noble families, the best approach is to quickly form marriage alliances with other powerful and influential individuals: your son marries my daughter.

My son married his daughter.

Only after marrying into the families of many powerful and influential people did he gradually gain a foothold in the capital.

She and Jiang Yun had no children, mainly because it was extremely rare for someone of Jiang Yun's age to be granted a marquisate.

If Jiang Yun could really marry Feng Beier, Marquis Weiwu would have real military power in the north.

In addition, there's the connection with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Even if a new emperor ascends the throne, whether he dislikes Jiang Yun or likes him, the Jiang family's position in the capital will not be greatly shaken.

The main problem right now is how to get the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion to agree.

Xu Suwen stroked her chin. This was a problem...
