Catching Monsters

Chapter 628 How Will You Survive This Time?
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhihong couldn't help but look at Ye Xiuyuan and said, "Wow, Mr. Ye, look at what this young lady is saying. She's definitely lying. Who asks someone they meet if they brought a meteorite?"

"Even so, it's probably already alerted Jiang Yun, making him realize there's a problem. Who knows, Jiang Yun might already be on his way out."

Upon hearing this, Feng Beier clenched her fists slightly. As a young lady born into the Marquis's mansion, she felt quite uncomfortable being called a "little woman" by Fang Zhihong.

She clenched her fists and, unusually, lost her temper: "Fang Zhihong, that's enough! I've done my best to do what Mr. Ye asked me to do! What gives you the right to be so sarcastic?"

Seeing that Feng Beier dared to lash out at him, Fang Zhihong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly, "You little wench, you've got a temper now. Are you trying to buy your little lover time to escape?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhihong had indeed guessed Feng Beier's little secret.

Feng Beier actually intended to do just that. In her opinion, as long as she had a big argument with Fang Zhihong here, she could at least buy Jiang Yun some time.

Ye Xiuyuan said calmly, "Fang Zhihong, Shan Tiangang, you two go immediately and take the meteorite from Jiang Yun's hands. Then we will leave Yanzhou City as soon as possible."

Dan Tiangang's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he slowly said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could take this opportunity to kill Jiang Yun?"

Ye Xiuyuan's expression was relatively calm as he slowly said, "All I want is the meteorite. As for whether or not to kill Jiang Yun, that's up to you."

"Yes." Dan Tiangang's eyes gleamed with intense interest.

Without the protection of that strange array in Yanzhou City, Jiang Yun would have been trapped!

After Feng Beier left, Jiang Yun immediately found Xiang Yeyun and told him that she had found the real culprit.

At this moment, the two were walking on the street. After listening to Jiang Yun's words, Xiang Yeyun looked puzzled and asked Jiang Yun in a deep voice, "According to you, the person who killed my mother was a man named Ye Xiuyuan?"

Xiang Yeyun looked at Jiang Yun with considerable suspicion and said in a deep voice, "What evidence do you have to prove that this Ye Xiuyuan is someone you made up?"

“The meteorite is on me, and they will probably come to snatch it soon.” Jiang Yun stared at Xiang Yeyun and asked, “Miss Xiang, what other experts does your Xiang family have? If you want to capture the real murderer, you should gather them quickly.”

The reason why Jiang Yun was not flustered was that Yanzhou City was, after all, the Xiang family's territory.

Xiang Yeyun said coldly, "What they want to seize is the meteorite in your hand; they want to use it against you..."

It is obvious that Xiang Yeyun still harbors some animosity towards Jiang Yun, even if the massacre of the family was not actually committed by Jiang Yun.

However, Jiang Yun had a significant conflict with the Xiang family, and he had even been kidnapped by them and taken to the capital as a hostage.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun was quite straightforward and said, "The other party only wants the meteorite, not my life. If the Xiang family is unwilling to help..."

"When they came looking for me, I simply handed them the meteorite."

"But it won't be easy for your Xiang family to find the real killers after this. Miss Xiang, you cried so bitterly in front of your mother's coffin. Was it all an act? You don't want to avenge your mother?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yeyun clenched his fists slightly and gritted his teeth.

Jiang Yun was quite frank, telling him everything.

Xiang Yeyun knew that the group of people would come after Jiang Yun, but the Xiang family still had to help Jiang Yun.

After all, how could he not avenge his own mother?
After taking a deep breath, Xiang Yeyun said in a deep voice, "There are many experts in my Xiang family. In addition to my father, my second uncle is also a peak expert of the second rank. Among the eight elders, Elder Xiang Yisheng is also at the second rank."

"That should be able to help you."

Hearing Xiang Yeyun's words, Jiang Yun's eyes flashed slightly: "Let's go back to your Xiang residence."

Inside the mansion, the Imperial Guards had already withdrawn. Jiang Yun knew that if Ye Xiuyuan sent people to snatch the meteorite, the Imperial Guards under his command would not be able to stop him; it would only result in more casualties for his own Imperial Guard brothers.

Instead, many experts from the Xiang family came to this place.

Inside the Xiang residence, in the courtyard where the coffin was placed, Xiang Yeyun was standing side by side with Jiang Yun. She couldn't help but say to Jiang Yun, "You're quite cunning, withdrawing all the Embroidered Uniform Guards, as if you're afraid your brothers will be killed or injured."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "My brothers are all struggling too; they all have families and households. It's not worth losing their lives here."

Xiang Yeyun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "You're saying this as if the people of our Xiang family deserve to die?"

Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. The person who came is probably the murderer who killed your Xiang family. Isn't revenge what your Xiang family wants to do? I stayed here despite the danger to help your Xiang family lure out the real culprit. Your Xiang family should be grateful to me."

Xiang Yeyun's expression darkened slightly, and he snorted coldly, but he couldn't refute her.

At the same time, Xiang Huang walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, "Xiang girl, does the real culprit who killed our Xiang family dare to show himself?"

It should be noted that there are quite a few experts present in the courtyard at this moment.

Xiang Yeyun was not sure either, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Yun beside him.

Jiang Yun nodded and said in a deep voice, "They will show themselves as long as they are after the meteorite."

Xiang Huang took a deep breath, then frowned. It was a pity that his elder brother was not here. According to his guess, the other party was probably a first-grade expert. If they really started to fight, it would be a big deal.

The number of people present might not be enough to satisfy everyone.

"Xiang girl, you should leave first." Xiang Huang took a deep breath and said slowly, "Our lineage doesn't have many people left. If you are injured, I won't be able to explain it to my elder brother when he returns."

Although Xiang Huang had long coveted the position of family head, that was an internal family struggle. Now that the Xiang family was facing such a major crisis and united against a common enemy, he had no other thoughts. "Second Uncle, don't worry. Although I am a woman, I am not an ordinary person." Xiang Yeyun gritted her teeth slightly and said in a deep voice, "Moreover, I want to avenge my mother with my own hands!"

At this point, Xiang Yeyun couldn't help but look towards the coffin where his mother was not far away.

Seeing that Xiang Yeyun's attitude was so firm, Xiang Huang stopped trying to persuade him.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, and two figures appeared on the rooftop not far away. They were Shan Tiangang and Fang Zhihong.

"Wow, Jiang Yun has indeed called upon quite a few experts from the Xiang family to protect him." Fang Zhihong sneered when he saw so many people present. He then said to Shan Tiangang beside him, "It seems we'll have to kill these Xiang family members again."

Dan Tiangang remained expressionless, but couldn't help glaring at Fang Zhihong. Had this bastard gone mad from living in seclusion in the mountains for so long?

By saying this, wouldn't he be implicitly admitting that they were responsible for the numerous corpses on site?
Fang Zhihong wasn't out of his mind; he simply didn't respect anyone present.

Although he only has the cultivation level of the second rank, he is only one step away from breaking through to the first rank.

Ordinary second-grade cultivators are no match for him at all.

The Xiang family members present, including Xiang Huang, Xiang Yisheng, and Xiang Yeyun, glared angrily at the two people on the roof, their eyes seemingly spitting fire.

Too arrogant.

These two not only killed so many members of the Xiang family, but they also dared to go back on their word again and utter such arrogant remarks.

In all its long history, the Xiang family has never suffered such humiliation.

Xiang Yisheng took a deep breath, leaned on his cane, and slowly stepped forward, saying, "You two dared to slaughter members of my Xiang family. Do you dare to state your names?"

"Hahaha, what I call my name is none of your business," Fang Zhihong replied coldly, of course he wasn't afraid of retaliating against his family.

He had lived deep in the mountains for a long time, and not many people knew his name or appearance. Even if he offended the Xiang family to death, he could simply change his name and disguise himself, and who would recognize him?
This is also a basic tactic used by members of the Demonic Cult.

Otherwise, most members of the demonic sect would have so many enemies, and the retaliation would be endless; who could bear that?

“Master Shan Tiangang, it’s been a long time.” Jiang Yun stepped forward and called out Shan Tiangang’s name directly. Then he said, “Your Demon Spirit Sect came from the south to develop in the north, but you wiped out the entire Xiang family. Your Demon Spirit Sect is not going to have a good time from now on.”

Dan Tiangang's face was grim, and he couldn't help but glare fiercely at Fang Zhihong.

Damn it, this bastard is a rogue cultivator, a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.

The Demon Spirit Cult is a large and powerful organization.

"Shan Tiangang of the Demon Spirit Sect." Xiang Yisheng gripped his cane tightly, his eyes turning cold. He snorted and said, "Sect Leader Shan led the Demon Spirit Sect to the North. Logically, he should have paid a visit to our Xiang family."

"I never expected that they would give the Xiang family such a generous gift."

Dan Tiangang cursed inwardly, calling Fang Zhihong a bastard, but since things had come to this, he could only keep a cold face and slowly say, "It wasn't me who killed your Xiang family members."

This cannot be admitted, of course...

Fang Zhihong, standing to the side, looked down on Shan Tiangang somewhat. After all, Shan was a member of the demonic path, and he was always willing to take responsibility for his actions when he killed people.

"Stop talking nonsense and get the stuff." Dan Tiangang was too lazy to continue talking nonsense. When he looked down at Jiang Yun, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Finally!
Looking back, Jiang Yun first caused trouble at the Demon Spirit Sect's headquarters, and later even tricked himself in the Holy Tomb.

When had Shan Tiangang ever suffered such humiliation? In an instant, countless demonic auras erupted from his body.

He turned his body and merged into the demonic energy.

An overwhelming aura of demonic energy instantly enveloped the courtyard below.

Almost instantly, visibility in the surrounding area became extremely low.

They could only see about three meters away, but fortunately Jiang Yun and Xiang Yeyun were very close.

Jiang Yun raised his hand, and the talisman he carried flew out. Jiang Yun made a hand seal and chanted: "If you are in a hurry to destroy the altar and temple, you must absorb the Qi and then stop. I want to see the five Thunder Gods riding the clouds to join me."

With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of lightning struck Jiang Yun from the sky.

Jiang Yun's entire body was also radiating a large amount of lightning and thunder power.

Then, Jiang Yun, holding the Three Pure Ones Fist, swept it forcefully, causing lightning to flash and forcing back some of the surrounding demonic energy.

But soon, the demonic aura continued to envelop them.

"Hahaha, Jiang Yun, I've finally caught you! I'd like to see how you'll survive this time!"

Dan Tiangang's voice came from all directions, and Jiang Yun couldn't tell exactly where he was.
