Catching Monsters

Chapter 722 I'll find a way to ambush it.

Inside the Jiang residence, Jiang Yun had already returned home from the palace.

Xu Suwen did not go to sleep, but sat in the side hall drinking tea, waiting for news from Jiang Yun.

Upon hearing that Jiang Yun had returned, she quickly came out of the side hall. Seeing that Jiang Yun was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief and then hurriedly went to Jiang Yun's side to ask, "Was everything alright?"

"Okay." Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

After entering the side hall, Xu Suwen hurriedly instructed Uncle Yun to brew some ginseng soup for Jiang Yun.

After sitting down, Jiang Yun first told Xu Suwen that the operation had gone quite smoothly and that the snake clan had been completely wiped out.

After listening, Xu Suwen hurriedly asked, "What about Miss Dongfang? How is she?"

Jiang Yun said slowly with a stern face, "I don't know about that. Miss Dongfang should have gone to Hongjiang Prefecture. News from there hasn't come back yet. What's wrong? Why are you so concerned about Miss Dongfang?"

Xu Suwen rolled her eyes at Jiang Yun and slowly said, "That's Xiaogang's sweetheart. Do you think I don't know Xiaogang's personality? If something happens to Miss Dongfang, he..."

Just then, Yun Pingchuan, who was outside preparing ginseng soup, strode in from outside, his face beaming with joy, and said, "Madam, the Duke of Zhenguo has arrived and says he wants to see Lord Jiang."

"Xiao Gang is here? Quickly, invite him over."

Soon, Xu Xiaogang led Dongfang Yao in from outside the door.

To Jiang Yun's surprise, Dongfang Yao had also returned. According to the plan, she should be in Hongjiang Prefecture now.

"you are?"

Jiang Yun could also see that Dongfang Yao's temperament had changed somewhat.

Dongfang Yao said, "Of course I am still Dongfang Yao."

"Sit down." Jiang Yun quickly invited Dongfang Yao to sit down, and then Dongfang Yao explained her situation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun was overjoyed. He asked, "So, you have now regained the strength of a Demon Saint, but your memories have not been swallowed up by the memories of a Fox Saint?"

In Jiang Yun's opinion, Dongfang Yao's memories of the past ten years or so were definitely no match for the vast memories of the Fox Saint.

In the vast memory of the Fox Saint, Dongfang Yao's memories were but a drop in the ocean.

Dongfang Yao glanced at her hands and then said, "According to my guess, the Fox Saint, which is me, must have suffered a serious injury to my soul when I forcibly broke free from that seal."

"Furthermore, I saw something in the Fox Saint's memories."

Dongfang Yao looked at Jiang Yun, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "The Fox Saint and the Snake Saint Chang Xiaoyu became enemies because of this."

"There is a supreme treasure that came from beyond the heavens. The Serpent Saint and the Fox Saint were the first to discover it, which led to a fierce battle between them."

"This item is extremely extraordinary. If Chang Xiaoyu obtains it, he might lead his demon clan to launch a large-scale invasion of the Zhou Kingdom."

"I'm afraid even a human saint would find it difficult to withstand."

Hearing Dongfang Yao's words, Jiang Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "There is such a treasure?"

“Therefore, if there is an opportunity, we must eliminate Chang Xiaoyu as soon as possible.” Dongfang Yao paused, “He is different from me. He cares a lot about the power of the demon kingdom and is not willing to share this world with humans.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yun paused for a moment, nodded, but also showed a bitter smile on his face, and said, "Miss Dongfang, even the Great Sage of Confucianism failed to kill you back then. With just a few of us, it will be quite difficult to kill Chang Xiaoyu."

Jiang Yun felt somewhat helpless. If he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to fight against such a Saint Realm expert.

“Miss Dongfang, I would like to ask you for a favor.” Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, “Don’t leave the capital for the time being. Tomorrow, the court will announce that the annihilation of the snake clan was done by our Zhou Kingdom. I don’t know how Chang Xiaoyu will react.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yao nodded slightly and agreed.

The next morning, Jiang Yun changed into a brand-new official robe of the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and came to the imperial court.

In the center of the court, there were three large pots, and as soon as you entered, you could smell the aroma of meat.

The meat smells delicious, its aroma is irresistible, and it clearly tastes good.

Xiao Jingzhi sat on the dragon throne, his eyes slightly closed, waiting quietly.

"This is?"

Looking at the three bowls of meat soup, the ministers present all showed suspicion and exchanged glances.

Qin Hong also stood on Xiao Jingzhi's side. Originally, as the leader of Tongyou Guard, Qin Hong did not like to appear in the court.

But now that Tongyou Guard has made great contributions, he should naturally represent Tongyou Guard at this court assembly.

After all the ministers had arrived, Xiao Jingzhi slowly stood up, smiled, pointed to the three bowls of meat soup in the hall, and said slowly, "Gentlemen, take a look, what is this?"

The people present exchanged glances. Many of them did not know what Xiao Jingzhi wanted to do and dared not answer easily.

After a moment's thought, Yan Hua, the Minister of Personnel, stepped forward, smiled, and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please enlighten me."

With a smile on his face, Xiao Jingzhi said loudly, "This is the flesh of the four elders of the Snake Clan!"

"Just last night, the Tongyou Guards went to the Demon Kingdom, killed four elders of the Serpent Clan, and burned the Serpent Clan's stronghold, Changling City, to the ground!"

Upon hearing Xiao Jingzhi's words, the expressions of the many ministers present immediately changed.

Of course, some people were also delighted, after all, the snake clan had committed heinous crimes, and wiping them out in one fell swoop was naturally a joyous occasion.

Some ministers, however, held different views and began to worry that doing so would incur the wrath of the Serpent Saint, who would then come to retaliate.

Of course, no one dared to voice this thought, since Xiao Jingzhi was currently in high spirits and enjoying himself. Who would dare to stand up and pour cold water on his enthusiasm?

"Someone, distribute the meat!" Xiao Jingzhi waved his hand, and soon, eunuchs who had been prepared around the main hall came out with many wooden bowls and ladled a bowl of snake soup for each of the many ministers present.

"This meat smells quite delicious. May I have a sip?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the main hall. Everyone in the court looked out and saw a blind man with a cane standing outside the hall.

who?

Everyone present was instantly filled with question marks, including Jiang Yun, of course.

Of course, the fact that this blind man was able to arrive outside the court without being detected by the Imperial Guards is enough to show that he is quite capable.

Jiang Yun and Qin Hong exchanged a glance.

Qin Hong subconsciously stepped forward a step in front of Xiao Jingzhi, a smile on his face, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Fang Tianzong." The blind man slowly uttered his name and walked steadily into the court.

None of the people present had ever heard of this name, including Qin Hong.

As he watched the other party enter the court, Qin Hong, with a stern face, slowly stepped forward, grasped Fang Tianzong's wrist, and said, "Mr. Fang, this is a place of great importance in the court. If you have something to discuss, let's find another place to talk."

With a slight flick of his wrist, Fang Tianzong sent Qin Hong staggering back several steps.

Qin Hong's right hand trembled slightly from the shock, and his eyes were filled with surprise. This person was a Saint Realm expert.

Qin Hong quickly gave Xiao Jingzhi a look, his lips moved slightly, and a voice transmission reached Xiao Jingzhi's ear: "This person is a sage."

Sitting on the dragon throne, Xiao Jingzhi showed no sign of panic. With a kind expression, he took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, and said, "I wonder what instructions Saint Fang has for me?"

Upon hearing Xiao Jingzhi's words, many ministers in the court widened their eyes, and quite a few even rubbed their eyes, wanting to take a closer look at this legendary sage...

"It's not really an order. I've been living in seclusion for too long, so I've come here to beg for a living from His Majesty," Fang Tianzong said calmly.

Those present were all pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

A sage comes to the imperial court to beg for food?

Xiao Jingzhi was somewhat excited. He gripped Fang Tianzong's hand tightly and said, "Sage Fang, is this really true?"

Fang Tianzong frowned and said, "Let's talk somewhere else, there are too many people here."

"Yes."

Xiao Jingzhi suppressed his excitement and quickly left the court. He then asked Qin Hong and Jiang Xing to follow him and urged Fang Tianzong to head towards the Imperial Garden.

Upon arriving at the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Xiao Jingzhi personally brewed tea for Fang Tianzong.

Fang Tianzong's arrival was a timely help for Xiao Jingzhi.

Xiao Jingzhi is under immense pressure lately. With the change of his father and previous emperors, it's hard to find a saint in the entire world.

But when it came to becoming emperor himself, with the awakening of the Demon Saint, the challenges he faced were far greater than those of the previous emperors.

"Sage Fang, I wish to share the world with you."

Fang Tianzong calmly said, "Your Majesty, you are exaggerating. If it were us, the Six Sages, who wanted this world, would we need you to share it with us?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingzhi's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment.

Of course, he also knew that what Fang Tianzong said was the truth.

Fang Tianzong took a deep breath and said, "The reason I came here is very simple: the three sealed demon saints have all awakened. These three demon saints are different from the dragon saints."

"From what I understand, these three saints all have great ambitions, and there may be a great calamity in the human world."

"My purpose in coming here is to eliminate these three demon saints."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingzhi's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said, "If Your Majesty has any instructions, please tell me."

“I was also in Hongjiang Prefecture last night,” Fang Tianzong said slowly. “There seems to be quite a few conflicts between the Snake Saint and the Fox Saint.”

"That fox saint is also quite wicked."

"He actually helped save many disaster victims."

"After that, I sensed that the Fox Saint had arrived in the capital."

Fang Tianzong gripped his cane and said slowly, "I came to the capital this time to kill this Fox Saint first."

"Kill the Fox Saint?" Xiao Jingzhi was taken aback, and he subconsciously glanced at Qin Hong beside him.

Qin Hong knew that the Fox Saint seemed to have some connection with Jiang Yun and the Duke of Zhenguo, so he said, "Sage Fang, this Fox Saint should not be a bad person... You also said that she saved many disaster victims, so she may be of great help to us."

"Foolish," Fang Tianzong said calmly. "Fox demons are inherently cunning, let alone this Fox Saint?"

"Kind-hearted? Do you know how many people these demon saints killed and caused havoc in ancient times?"

No one present dared to easily object to Fang Tianzong's words, and could only remain silent.

Fang Tianzong paused for a moment, then said, "Tell me everything about the Fox Saint, and I'll find a way to ambush and kill it."
