Catching Monsters

Chapter 682 Rules
Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Qu Wushang did not take them too seriously. He just smiled and said, "Lord Jiang probably doesn't know who wants to kill me, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing."

"Those he wants to kill, no matter where they are, they will not be able to escape."

When Qu Wushang became a saint, he had already made the worst-case scenario plan: "It is nothing more than death. I was already mentally prepared when I became a saint."

"Senior Qu, what if the place I'm referring to isn't this world?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Wushang was stunned and looked at Jiang Yun with some surprise: "What do you mean?"

"Senior Qu, wait for my news. I have to go to the outer city." Jiang Yun hurriedly set off, mounted his horse, and headed towards the Yunluo Inn in the outer city as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, inside Yunluo Inn, it was bustling with activity. Sun Xiaopeng, Ai Tangtang, Luo Fang, Monk Yunhai, and several others were so busy they were dizzy.

The inn's lobby was packed with people, all eating, drinking, and discussing what had happened at the drill ground that day.

At this moment, a martial artist stood up with one foot on a bench and began to ramble on: "I saw it with my own eyes. The four sword gods attacked at the same time. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed and swords flashed."

"Who would have thought that Qu Wushang was not afraid at all, but instead roared, 'Sword, come!'"

"In an instant, the wind and clouds changed once again, and a five-colored auspicious cloud appeared. Qu Wushang had become a saint!"

"I wasn't far from Sword Saint Qu at the time, only about ten zhang away..."

At this moment, the warrior spoke with great passion, and those who were unable to attend listened with great interest, regretting their past actions.

Even more so, some people, engrossed in listening, saw that the warrior was talking until his throat was dry, and quickly bought him several jugs of wine.

Sun Xiaopeng, with a rag draped over his shoulder and covered in sweat, went to the counter to drink some water. When he saw Mao Dacai squatting in front of the counter and waving, he became furious.

This lazy cat usually just lies around lazily, but now that he's so busy, he's still slacking off.

"Brother Cat..."

Cat Da Cai lowered his voice and said, "Shut up. You want me to help clear the table? These thugs will think I'm a monster!"

“You were a monster to begin with.” Sun Xiaopeng was speechless.

Sitting behind the counter, Liu Boqing was dressed in a shopkeeper's uniform, cracking melon seeds and listening to the conversations of the people in the hall.

Luo Fang, having finished his work, approached Liu Boqing and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Liu, it's said that no one has achieved sainthood for hundreds of years. How come suddenly today..."

Liu Boqing grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them over: "Just enjoy the melon seeds, it has nothing to do with us."

Just then, Jiang Yun hurriedly walked in, glanced around, and quickly spotted Liu Boqing at the counter.

"Mr. Liu, I need your help with something."

"You want my help?" Liu Boqing frowned slightly.

Liu Boqing thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Luo Fang, "Luo Fang, come upstairs with me."

Liu Boqing and Luo Fang led Jiang Yun to an empty room on the second floor and closed the door.

Luo made tea.

"There's no need to rush the tea." After sitting down, Jiang Yun asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Liu, I'd like to send someone to Penglai Island, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Boqing frowned even more: "Who is it? What's the matter? What are they going there for, and how long will they stay?"

"I don't know how long I'll stay," Jiang Yun then said. "The one who's going is Qu Wushang, who will become a saint today."

Upon hearing this, Luo Fang chuckled and said, "They've already become saints, why would they need to go to Penglai?"

"He said someone wanted to kill him." Jiang Yun paused and slowly recounted what had happened.

According to what he knew, Qu Wushang should have become a saint twenty years ago, but his meridians were destroyed. Only now has he finally become a saint.

After listening to Jiang Yun's description.

Liu Boqing fell silent, and Luo Fang's eyes also looked somewhat strange; neither of them spoke.

"So, the person who wants to kill Qu Wushang is also a saint?" Luo Fang frowned and said, "If we help Qu Wushang, wouldn't we offend this saint?"

Liu Boqing chuckled, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "It's not that simple."

“Jiang Yun, although we can enter and leave Penglai, Penglai only opens three times a month. Only the Lord of Penglai can open Penglai at will,” Liu Boqing said seriously. “We also have to wait for Penglai to open before we can enter or leave.”

"It has only been three days since Penglai last opened."

"In other words, even if Qu Wushang wants to go in, he will have to wait seven days."

"In other words, you have to ensure that you keep Qu Wushang hidden for the next seven days."

"He must not be found by his enemies."

"We'll send him up there once Penglai opens."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun frowned and said thoughtfully, "So this matter can only be resolved with the help of you few if that sage really comes looking for us."

“If I use the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to hide people, there will definitely be flaws, and Senior Qu will definitely be found out.”

Liu Boqing asked with a smile, "That makes sense, but the problem is..."

Why should we help you?

Jiang Yun replied quickly: "Mr. Liu, you're helping yourselves. Senior Qu is a sword saint. After he ascends to Penglai and lives there for a while, he'll be one of yours."

"Don't you need a Saint Realm expert?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Boqing fell silent. Indeed, Penglai truly needed a Saint Realm expert to oversee it.

Furthermore, the last meteorite has not yet been found, and Bai Shuiqing has also vanished without a trace.

After thinking for a while, Liu Boqing said, "If we want to hide someone, we have to be quick. Send Qu Wushang here immediately."

"The sound of his sanctification bell is known throughout the world, and the sages who want to kill him are naturally also aware of it."

"Go and bring him here," Liu Boqing said.

"Okay." Seeing Liu Boqing agree, Jiang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned to leave.

Luo Fang was somewhat surprised: "Mr. Liu, why did you agree so readily this time? This is not like you at all."

Given Liu Boqing's personality, if someone came to him seeking favors, he would definitely squeeze every last drop of benefit out of them.

"We can't wait any longer." Liu Boqing took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Yun is right. Qu Wushang has gone to Penglai, and there will always be opportunities for him to be of use to us."

"If he doesn't escape now, he might not have another chance to get away."

"Don't you know the power of a sage?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Fang's expression hardened, and he nodded emphatically before saying, "However, this world is strange; there are even saints who want to kill others who aspire to become saints."

“Rules.” Liu Boqing said two words calmly: “This is probably one of the rules set by the sages of this world.”

"Right now, the most important thing is to figure out how to fool a saint."
