Catching Monsters

Chapter 575 Tiger Saint
Jiang Yun also noticed the unusual nature of the lake inside the cave. His brows furrowed, and he quickly took a few steps back.

With a loud boom, a colossal tiger's head slowly rose from within it.

This tiger was enormous, with black fur tinged with white, and its neck was tightly chained. Its pupils gleamed with an eerie light.

Jiang Yun only needed to make eye contact with the other person for a moment, and the hairs on his body stood on end as he instinctively sensed extreme danger.

Even under such circumstances, the body could not muster the slightest thought of escaping.

Tiger Saint!

Tiger Saint tried to leap out of the lake, but his two paws barely touched the shore before he could no longer move. The chain around his neck flashed with a bright golden light.

It is clear that it has been trapped here for many years, mainly because of these chains.

It lay there on the shore with its two huge paws.

A hoarse voice slowly emerged from Tiger Saint's mouth: "So many years have passed, I never expected that someone would still come here."

After he finished speaking, his gaze slowly fell on the incantations with Confucian symbols written on them around the lake, and he said slowly, "Boy, I need you to do me a favor and erase all the writing on these incantations."

After hearing Hu Sheng's words, Jiang Yun took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Fortunately, the demon saint here is not the snake saint.

After hearing Tiger Saint's request, Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "Tiger Saint, this thing is what seals you, isn't it? With my abilities, can I remove these talismans?"

Upon hearing this, Tiger Saint snorted coldly, his voice tinged with anger, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know who set this up. I was injured back then and originally intended to recuperate here for a hundred years before I could leave."

"But that bastard took advantage of my serious injuries to set up this formation to seal me."

"Don't worry, these runes have been around for thousands of years and have already begun to corrode. You only need to wipe them away slightly, and the power of the formation that seals me will drop sharply."

In fact, even if it hadn't been discovered, the seal would have been broken soon; Jiang Yun's arrival only accelerated this process.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun respectfully said to Tiger Saint, "Lord Tiger Saint, I am naturally more than happy to rescue you, but I have a request."

In that instant, Tiger Saint's eyes changed slightly, and Jiang Yun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, with the surrounding temperature plummeting.

Tiger Saint: "Human, are you trying to negotiate with me? Hmm?"

Tiger Saint's eyes now held an added threat.

Jiang Yun's heart pounded. After taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Yun knew very well that once he entered, he basically had no choice but to release the demon saint inside, no matter who it was.

After all, there are still fox demons like Hu Xinglan outside.

Even if Jiang Yun doesn't release him, Hu Xinglan and the others will do everything they can to free him.

Since the goal is to release the demon saint inside, Jiang Yun naturally wants to find a way to get some benefits in return.

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's answer, Hu Sheng's eyes darkened, and he slowly said, "So, what are your conditions?"

Jiang Yun respectfully said, "After you leave, Lord Tiger Saint, how about you kill someone for me?"

"Heh, is that all?" Upon hearing this, Tiger Saint smiled and said indifferently, "Although killing is a boring thing for me, I agree to your request."

Whom do you want to kill?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "There is no one I want to kill for the time being. If there is someone later, I will inform Lord Tiger Saint."

Seeing Tiger Saint nod, Jiang Yun quickly ran to the iron chains around the lake. Where the chains connected to the ground, there was a large piece of refined iron, but the refined iron was already covered in rust.

The incantations on it have gradually become blurred.

Jiang Yun raised his hand, and the Three Pure Ones Fist instantly appeared in his hand. He used the Three Pure Ones Fist to strike the refined iron, but the pieces of refined iron did not change at all.

"This iron is of excellent quality. Strange, how could such a material rust?" Jiang Yun squatted down beside him, scratching his hair. Seeing this, Tiger Saint quickly extended a claw, which broke off and fell to Jiang Yun's feet.

"Boy, this is black iron. Use my claws to scratch off these talismans."

Tiger Saint's claw was a full foot long. Jiang Yun quickly picked it up, thought for a moment, and then used the claw to vigorously scratch the talisman on the refined iron.

After some effort, sure enough, the iron chain connected to the piece of refined iron quickly lost its luster.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yun did the same thing, circling the lake and erasing all the talismans.

The ground trembled slightly the instant the last talisman was erased.

The enormous black tiger, which was soaking in the lake, burst into laughter, and in an instant, a powerful demonic aura roared out from the cave.

Reaching straight up to the heavens.

The enormous black tiger transformed into a wisp of black smoke, which quickly materialized into a human form. The tiger saint's appearance resembled that of a robust young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a long black robe and bearing three scars on his face.

He stood by the lake with his long hair loose, arms outstretched, and took a deep breath. The demonic energy that had just overflowed surged back into his body in an instant.

"Human." Tiger Saint's gaze slowly turned to Jiang Yun, who was not far away. "What's your name?"

"Jiang Yun, Commander of the Eastern Garrison of the Capital, pays respects to the Demon Saint." Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly spoke.

At the same time, the barrier that had blocked the path of Hu Xinglan and the other fox clan experts was instantly destroyed when they released their demonic energy.

At this moment, Hu Xinglan, along with Hu Yi and many fox demons, quickly arrived at this place.

After entering this place, Hu Xinglan's gaze fell on Tiger Saint, and he could sense that the scent on Tiger Saint was not that of Fox Saint.

"A junior from the Fox Clan?" Tiger Saint's gaze fell on Hu Xinglan and the others.

Although it was not their fox clan ancestor who was released, Hu Xinglan and many other experts were still extremely excited.

At the very least, this proves that this path is feasible. As long as we continue to search for the other two locations, we will eventually be able to release the fox clan ancestor.

Overwhelmed with excitement, many of the fox demons knelt down and kowtowed in worship.

"Elder Hu Xinglan of the Fox Clan has been searching for the place where Lord Tiger Saint sleeps for a long time, and now he has finally awakened Lord Tiger Saint."

"Old fox's junior?" Tiger Saint narrowed his eyes slightly, calmly looking at the many monsters before him, and said indifferently, "Why don't my Tiger Clan members come to greet me?"

"Furthermore, how has the outside world changed during the years I've been asleep?"

Hearing Tiger Saint ask the question, Hu Xinglan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Tiger Saint, thinking back to the past, after you fell into slumber, the Dragon Clan became the sole power among the Demon Clan, and over the years, they have oppressed our people greatly..."

Having just come into contact with the outside world, Hu Sheng listened patiently as Hu Xinglan recounted what had happened after he fell into a deep sleep.

But upon hearing that the Dragon Saint had oppressed the three races after he fell into slumber, a glint of fire flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "That old dragon was treacherous back then. If he hadn't secretly colluded with the Confucian sage, how could the three of us sages have been so badly injured and fallen into slumber?"

"If we had killed that Confucian sage back then, the world would have already belonged to our demon race."

Before leaving, Tiger Saint turned back to look at Jiang Yun and slowly said, "I always keep my promises."

"If you need anything, come find me."

After saying this, Tiger Saint transformed into a ball of black demonic energy and, ignoring everyone else, instantly flew away.

Hu Xinglan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excited emotions. Then he couldn't help but look at Jiang Yun, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Tiger Saint promised Jiang Yun a favor.
"Jiang Yun, is it Lord Tiger Saint?"

Jiang Yun simply smiled and said, "It's nothing, clan leader, don't worry about it. But what about the meteorite you mentioned, clan leader?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xinglan coughed slightly and said slowly, "Don't worry, I'll have Hu Yi send the meteorite to you later."
