Catching Monsters

Chapter 729 Is it something you can just see whenever you want?
At this moment, Xue Liujiu raised the Investiture of the Gods in his hand, and in an instant, the Investiture of the Gods slowly floated up and unfolded.

In an instant, countless chilling auras swept over, followed by countless evil spirits pouring out from the Investiture of the Gods. These evil spirits roared and attacked Jiang Yun and the black snake.

Above the two of them, the sky was filled with countless evil spirits.

In an instant, the Three Pure Ones Flying Staff appeared in Jiang Yun's hand, and these evil spirits immediately attacked the two of them.

However, these evil spirits were not particularly strong. Jiang Yun waved his Three Pure Ones Whisk and swept it across, annihilating the dozens of evil spirits that rushed towards him.

Black Snake narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Jiang Yun with some confusion, "This guy doesn't know how to use this magic weapon?"

The power unleashed by the Investiture of the Gods was so great that even the Black Serpent could hardly withstand it. But now, the ghosts summoned by this guy's magic are simply no match for the two of them.

The black snake quickly realized that such a treasure must possess a certain level of intelligence.

It had just tried to take Xue Liujiu's life, which was why it unleashed that terrifying power and repelled it.

But now, this guy can't unleash the true power of this treasure.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun's expression darkened. He nodded and said, "I will suppress these evil spirits. You find an opportunity to see if you can snatch this item from him."

Upon hearing this, the black snake nodded without hesitation.

Jiang Yun leaped up, and the Three Pure Ones Brush in his hand shimmered with a faint light.

Jiang Yun began to read:
"The true fire of Samadhi, flowing light for ten thousand miles. Illuminating heaven and earth, shining brightly in all directions. Rivers and seas boil, demons and monsters hide. The Southern Dipper descends with its energy, the flowing light of Samadhi."

"Refine the embryo to change its nature, refine the soul to ensure its health. All demons perish, riding the smoke to fly away. So be it!"

In an instant, the tail of the Three Pure Ones whisk in his hand ignited with a blazing Samadhi fire.

Jiang Yun swung his hand forcefully, and the Samadhi True Fire in his hand instantly soared into the sky, burning the evil spirits in all directions.

These evil spirits were no match for the power of the Samadhi Fire; the slightest touch was enough to burn them to ashes.

Xue Liujiu's face also showed a slight surprise.

Since he obtained the Investiture of the Gods, he has been invincible, and no one can withstand the power of the Investiture of the Gods.

The evil spirits constantly emerging from this Investiture of the Gods alone are enough to eliminate anyone he has killed.

But to be honest, he had never actually fought against a true master.

He encountered the strongest person, a second-rank wizard from the Tuoba tribe who had previously attacked him.

But that wizard, in the face of the Investiture of the Gods, was also worn down to death by countless evil spirits.

Watching Jiang Yun wield the Three Pure Ones Fist and easily burn away the countless evil spirits, he realized that these two were probably true masters.

Soon, the black snake rushed to Xue Liujiu's side and instantly reached out to grab the Investiture of the Gods!

But before his hand could touch the Investiture of the Gods, a mysterious force seemed to be blocking his hand from its surroundings.

He couldn't get close at all.

Even more strangely, as he approached, the Investiture of the Gods instantly erupted with a golden light once again.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun brandished the Three Pure Ones Whisk, instantly using its tail to protect himself.

The powerful light instantly blasted the black snake away again. It rolled several times on the ground before stopping. The areas of the black snake's face and chest that were illuminated by the golden light were now a bloody mess, and much of the flesh had even been charred.

"Hiss." The black snake looked at the Investiture of the Gods with some surprise, and its eyes also showed a hint of envy.

What a baby!

If an ordinary person could wield such power, what would it be like if I obtained this item...?

At this moment, Jiang Yun also quickly flew to the black snake's side and said in a deep voice, "With this Investiture of the Gods, it will probably be difficult for the two of us to take his life."

"Let's leave this place first and think of another way."

After saying that, Jiang Yun grabbed the black snake's shoulder and quickly fled out of the Tuoba tribe.

Seeing the two escape, Xue Liujiu, who held the Investiture of the Gods in his hand, did not rashly give chase. He knew that the two were quite capable and dared not be careless.

After the two figures disappeared, many of the Card Pool Department's subordinates quickly ran over to this side.

"leader."

"Where are the people who attacked the leader?"

Xue Liujiu frowned and glanced at the subordinates who had come to 'help'.

These guys made such a big fuss, and it took them ages to slowly arrive.

The men who rushed over were also somewhat apprehensive. After the scene of raging fire and swarms of evil spirits, they dared not approach easily.

They didn't know the strength of the people who attacked Xue Liujiu, and what if Xue Liujiu died?

If Xue Liujiu dies at the hands of the attackers, they can take control of the Card Pool Department's power.

If Xue Liujiu can successfully repel the invading enemy, it doesn't matter whether they arrive sooner or later.

In fact, Xue Liujiu was completely relying on the Investiture of the Gods to forcibly suppress his subordinates.

However, he wasn't very popular among his subordinates in the gacha department.

On the one hand, he was a southerner; on the other hand, Xue Liujiu's methods were too brutal. He would kill people at the slightest dissatisfaction, so his subordinates feared him more than respected him.

"A bunch of useless trash." Xue Liujiu said coldly, "Investigate who attacked me!"

"Yes." Seeing Xue Liujiu's ugly expression, the subordinates all lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

...Under the cover of night, Jiang Yun and Black Snake rushed back to the town of the Tuoba tribe as soon as possible.

Tuoba Anyi paced back and forth in the living room of the mansion, waiting for news from Jiang Yun.

In the courtyard outside the living room, Qi Da and a group of Imperial Guards were treating Leng Liuer's injuries, who had returned early.

Finally, Jiang Yun and the black snake leaped into the courtyard from outside.

"Brother Jiang."

Upon seeing Jiang Yun arrive, everyone present quickly gathered around him.

Tuoba Anyi stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Have you gotten rid of Xue Liujiu?"

At this point, Tuoba Anyi glanced at the black snake's injuries, his brows furrowing tightly, and he secretly sensed something was wrong.

Even a first-grade expert couldn't kill that guy successfully?

Jiang Yun shook his head, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "The treasure that guy has is extraordinary. The two of us can't kill him."

"Zida," Jiang Yun called out to Zida in the distance, "Bring some medicine over first to help Senior Black Snake heal his injuries."

"Yes."

Zidane gasped when he saw Black Snake's injuries.

"Let's go inside and talk." Jiang Yun watched as Tuoba Anyi's lips moved slightly, clearly indicating that he had a lot to say.

He entered the living room, sat down, and told Tuoba Anyi everything that had happened at the Card Pool.

Hearing that the other party possessed such a powerful magical weapon, Tuoba Anyi frowned deeply, unsure of what to do.

He sighed and said slowly, "Even you two top experts at the first rank can't deal with him, what are we going to do?"

Tuoba Anyi knew very well that if the Kachi tribe launched a full-scale attack, they would not be able to withstand the power displayed by that strange magic weapon.

It's impossible for me to find a Saint Realm expert to deal with this person myself.

Now that Saint Realm experts are appearing one after another, can I, with my status, ask a Saint Realm expert for help?

Seeing Tuoba Anyi's worried expression, Jiang Yun said, "Don't worry too much. The treasure in his hand is quite strange. I don't know much about it, but I know someone who does."

"Bring over the Four Treasures of the Study."

"Alright." Tuoba Anyi had no other choice at the moment, so he naturally obeyed Jiang Yun's words.

Soon, Jiang Yun wrote a letter, sealed it, and went outside.

Zidane had almost finished treating the wounds on the black snake.

Many herbs had been applied to the black snake's body, and it gritted its teeth and endured the pain from its wounds.

Zida said, "Senior Black Serpent, although these injuries are all superficial, your appearance will probably be ruined."

Black Snake took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's nothing, it's just a face. I don't make a living off this face."

"Zida," Jiang Yun called out.

After treating his wounds, Qi Da quickly got up and looked at Jiang Yun: "Lord Jiang, what are your orders?"

Jiang Yun handed over the letter: "Go to the south yourself, to Jinyu County. There is a Yunluo Inn in Jinyu County. Give this letter to the people in the inn and tell them it is for Liu Boqing."

"Yes." Zidane listened carefully, then noted down the details. "I'll set off immediately."

"Hurry," Jiang Yun said in a deep voice.

……

The next day, as dawn broke, the Hu people patrolling near the Kachi area intensified their efforts.

Many of the Hu people rode horses and patrolled around.

At this moment, a small team of more than ten people was patrolling nearby.

"The leader has been attacked twice in recent times. I heard that Lord Huo was an inside man and escaped. The leader lost his temper last night and killed a lot of people."

"The leader has been killing people more and more casually lately..."

The group of Hu cavalrymen were whispering among themselves when suddenly, a ragged, seemingly thirty-something-year-old southern man appeared ahead.

"Who are you? Which tribe's escaped slave?" The squad leader stopped his horse and looked at the person he saw.

This southerner looked like a beggar, holding a tree branch in his hand to support himself as he walked, limping along.

These Hu people laughed and assumed that the other party must be a slave who had escaped from somewhere.

He prepared to ride forward on horseback and teach this man a lesson.

Patrolling is inherently a boring task, but encountering a slave and killing him adds a bit of fun.

Perhaps sensing the hostility of the group of Hu people, the southerner took a deep breath and slowly said, "I want to see Xue Liujiu, the leader of the Card Pool Department!"

"My name is Bai Shuiqing."

"Please lead me there."

Upon hearing this, the team leader, Hu Ren, burst into laughter: "Do you think you can just see the leader of our card pool department whenever you want?"
