Catching Monsters

Chapter 109 Have you offended someone?

Jiang Yun's face darkened, but fortunately at this time, Xu Xiaogang had quickly stood up and rushed towards Jiang Yun.

He poured his magic power into the sword in his hand and slashed at the banshee's arm!

If the banshee still wanted to attack Jiang Yun, she would probably not be able to save her arm.

The banshee retracted her arm, and at this moment, she also bought some time for Jiang Yun.

"Lightning and fire are fierce, the Southern Fire Lord. The flying poison is thousands of feet high, shaking all directions. The true talisman takes shape, and the true spirit is quickly revealed. Hurry up and obey the command."

The two talismans held in Jiang Yun's hands suddenly flashed with fire and lightning.

The banshee's pupils shrank slightly: "What?"

She actually saw flashes of lightning on Jiang Yun's body. Then, with a loud bang, powerful lightning burst out from Jiang Yun's body.

A dazzling flash of lightning appeared above the silent and dark city wall.

"hiss."

The snake body that was originally wrapped around Jiang Yun was burned by the electric light, and it had no choice but to let go of Jiang Yun.

The next moment, the Samadhi True Fire gushed out.

The banshee waved her hands quickly, and dark demonic energy emanated from her body, forming a barrier, but it was completely unable to resist the power of the Samadhi True Fire.

"Taoist Samadhi True Fire."

The banshee quickly dodged to the side, narrowed her eyes, slowly reached her hand into her mouth, and then slowly pulled out a golden snake sword from her mouth.

The next moment, the banshee attacked the two again.

She was as fast as a ghost, dodging and moving around, and the Samadhi True Fire could not touch her at all.

In the cold winter, a trace of cold sweat flowed down Jiang Yun's forehead. The strength of this banshee was far beyond his imagination.

The banshee was extremely experienced and could see that Jiang Yun's Taoism was quite powerful, but those with powerful Taoism were usually not good at close combat.

In an instant, she was almost close to Jiang Yun. Xu Xiaogang also made a move and swung his sword: "Monster, do you think I don't exist?"

Xu Xiaogang has now reached the sixth level of innate realm in martial arts, and his body functions have reached their peak.

The banshee raised her sword to block.

clang.

The sound of weapons clashing could be heard on the city wall.

Afterwards, the banshee used the long sword to attack Xu Xiaogang continuously.

The attack was impenetrable, and Xu Xiaogang was fully focused, constantly resisting and dodging.

too fast!
Xu Xiaogang secretly groaned in his heart, damn, the strength of this banshee was far beyond his imagination.

There were several dangerous situations.

He turned his head and saw that Jiang Yun was already sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

"Jiang Yun, you bastard, why are you still sitting down? Help me, I can't hold on any longer."

What he didn't expect was that after the banshee heard the name Jiang Yun, the rhythm of her attack obviously paused.

She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath at this moment and recited slowly: "If you are in a hurry to destroy the altar and the temple, you must absorb the Qi and withdraw the troops. If you want to see the Five Directions Thunder Tribe, come on the cloud to join my body."

Before this, his magic power was limited, and he could only use the celestial phenomena to cast the Thunder God Spell.

Now the magic power in my body should be able to be used barely.

The moment he finished reciting, the yellow talisman in Jiang Yun's hand turned into a ray of light and shot into the sky.

Boom.

A black thundercloud with a diameter of about 200 meters formed above the city wall, rumbling...

The banshee's face changed and she looked up. How could this be possible? She knew Taoist magic and there were indeed many ways that could cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth.

But these spells probably require at least the fourth level of Taoist immortality.

Even a third-rank great celestial master can perform it.

The magic power in this guy's body is definitely not at the level of a real person or a heavenly master.

Jiang Yun shouted loudly: "Thunder God, help me!"

The banshee's face changed drastically. She felt a thunderous pressure above her head that could pour down at any time. She felt a threat of death.

Then!

boom!
A powerful bolt of lightning poured down.

The banshee's face changed drastically and she wanted to escape and dodge, but she found that she was worrying too much.

This bolt of lightning actually struck Jiang Yun!

The banshee narrowed her eyes. What on earth was this guy doing? Such a powerful lightning actually struck her?

But Jiang Yun stood up again, and the aura he exuded made the banshee a little frightened.

At this moment, powerful lightning was flashing all over Jiang Yun's body, and his pupils were sparkling with electric light.

Jiang Yun rushed forward and kicked the banshee hard.

A powerful force actually kicked the banshee up into the air, causing her to fly backwards towards the city wall.

Jiang Yun frowned, jumped up, and chased after him under the city wall.

The banshee fell heavily to the ground, looking at Jiang Yun, who was flashing with lightning, falling from the sky, landing not far from her, and slowly walking towards her.

In her haste, she could only say, "I am one of our own!"

Hearing these five words, Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment.

The five words spoken by the banshee almost burned Jiang Yun's CPU.

"What?" Jiang Yun stared at the demon. One of us? Who is one of us, a demon like her?
The banshee said in a deep voice:

"Red Lotus Eternal."

Jiang Yun: “?”

Is this female demon from the Red Lotus Sect?

Wouldn't that be better!

Kill the rebel monsters of the Red Lotus Sect.

The credit must be greater.

Jiang Yun rushed towards the banshee. He had very little mana left in his body, so he had to get rid of her immediately. But after taking a few steps forward, the thunder power on his body could no longer be maintained and gradually dissipated. Jiang Yun also squatted down weakly.

Jiang Yun thought to himself that this was bad. He calculated the time and thought that he could cast the Thunder God Spell for about five to seven seconds.

This is the limit of the magic power in his body.

Jiang Yun knew in his heart that there was no way around it. The talismans and spells he used were not something a Taoist seventh-grade Qigong practitioner should know at all.

Xu Xiaogang, who was on the city wall, also jumped down to Jiang Yun's side. Seeing Jiang Yun's weak appearance, he hurriedly asked, "Brother-in-law, are you okay?"

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "The mana in my body has been used up."

The banshee not far away narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, the information was indeed correct, this Jiang Yun was indeed one of them.

She looked at Jiang Yun with gratitude, turned around instantly, and fled from there at an extremely fast speed, enveloped by a powerful demonic aura.

The two of them naturally stopped chasing him. Jiang Yun's mana had been exhausted, and Xu Xiaogang...

He was no match for this banshee.

Jiang Yun was confused. Why would the monster from the Red Lotus Sect appear on the south wall of the capital city in the middle of the night?

What do they want to do?
Let the banshee kill people on the city wall so that the soldiers of the South City Bingmasi dare not patrol.

Could it be that the Red Lotus Cult wanted to smuggle something into the capital?
strangeness.

Given the level of corruption in the Zhou Dynasty, these people from the Nancheng Bingmasi would approve anything as long as they were paid enough money.

Unless the Red Lotus Cult wants to transport something that even the South City Military Division dare not let pass no matter how much money is offered?
"Go back and rest first. Report the situation to Captain Yang tomorrow morning."

The two of them rushed back to the inner city as soon as possible. Although the gates of the inner city had been blocked at night, normally no one could enter easily.

But as they were members of the Imperial Guard, they were naturally not within the scope of this control.

After Jiang Yun returned to the inn, he went to bed early to rest.

At the same time, the banshee returned to her human form, covered her chest, suppressed the injuries on her body, and fled to the backyard of a house.

At this moment, in the backyard, a white-haired old man was pacing back and forth with a worried look on his face.

Seeing the banshee coming back, the old man stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay? I heard there's some commotion in South City? It seems like a Taoist master is casting a spell?"

The banshee covered her wound and said in a deep voice: "Well, I encountered some trouble, but fortunately they are our own people..."

"Our own people?" The old man frowned.

"Jiang Yun..."

The banshee quickly told the whole story of her experience.

Then, the demon girl asked the old man, "Tang Guardian, if Jiang Yun was not one of us, he would never let me leave alive."

After listening, the old man stroked his beard thoughtfully and said slowly: "I have to report this to the leader and see what he thinks."

"This Jiang Yun was not a member of our Red Lotus Sect before. Could it be that Zhao Chongfeng successfully persuaded him to give up the dark and join the light?"

"We have to find a chance to try him out."

……

The next morning, Jiang Yun had a rare nap. After waking up, he got dressed and rushed to the East Pacification Office.

He bought a fried dough cake on the street, then went to Yang Liunian's study and ate a few bites in a hurry.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Pushing the door open, Yang Liunian was eating breakfast. There was a table full of delicious food. Jiang Yun suddenly felt that the fried cake in his hand was no longer fragrant.

Yang Liunian was eating with his mouth full of oil at this time. He looked up and saw Jiang Yun, and a smile appeared on his face: "Hey, Jiang Xiaoqi, come in quickly, let's eat together."

"Early this morning, the South City Military Command reported that you guys caused quite a stir yesterday. How was it? Did you successfully deal with the monster?"

Jiang Yun was not polite. He ate his breakfast and reported, "We didn't kill her. The monster was stronger than expected. And I also found out that she was a member of the Red Lotus Sect."

Afterwards, Jiang Yun carefully told him everything that happened yesterday, including the fact that the banshee mistook him for a member of the Red Lotus Cult.

I have to inform Yang Liunian about this matter in advance.

Otherwise, if the witch is caught, she will give herself away.

And if they really regarded me as a traitor of the Red Lotus Sect, wouldn't I have died unjustly?
Listening to Jiang Yun's report, Yang Liunian, who was originally eating breakfast happily, gradually lost his smile. He wiped the oil stains on his mouth with a handkerchief and frowned deeply: "This group of Red Lotus rebels are not clean again."

"These guys are like crazy people. Every once in a while, they come to the Imperial City and want to attack and kill Your Majesty."

"Humph."

"It's like cutting leeks, one crop after another, it's impossible to kill them all."

Listening to Yang Liunian's words, Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

"Yes, the information you obtained is very important, and it can be regarded as a contribution." Yang Liunian nodded with satisfaction.

He found that Jiang Yun was really a lucky guy and was very capable.

"I will go to the commander later and ask for your commendation."

"Yes, thank you, Master Qianhu." Jiang Yun hurriedly thanked him.

Yang Liunian looked at Jiang Yun, as if he was a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while he asked: "Also, have you offended anyone?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Yun frowned when he heard this, and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about, Lord Yang? I just arrived in the capital, who can I offend?"

Yang Liunian rolled his eyes at Jiang Yun and thought to himself, you arrested so many children of powerful people in the past few days.

Although you are holding the imperial edict, people dare not say anything openly, but they are definitely unhappy with you in their hearts.

Yang Liunian walked to the desk, took out a letter and threw it in front of Jiang Yun: "Yes, this is a letter from Chang Pingyuan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to me. Take a look for yourself."

Is Changping far away?
Jiang Yun picked up the letter and started reading it. Unexpectedly, in the letter, Chang Pingyuan expressed his willingness to give Yang Liunian one thousand taels of silver and ask Yang Liunian to expel Jiang Yun from the Jinyiwei.

"It seems that among the people I arrested, there is indeed this young master from Changpingyuan." Jiang Yun thought about it carefully and said in surprise: "But so many powerful young masters have been arrested, and the others have not expressed anything."

Yang Liunian laughed and took a bite of the food: "You are really valuable, I can earn one thousand taels by expelling you from the Jinyiwei, it's really a good business."

If he was an ordinary Jinyiwei, and he could earn one thousand taels by being kicked out, Yang Liunian would not hesitate.

But Jiang Yun is different. This guy has just solved two cases, especially the case of trafficking in military supplies. This guy caught the eye of Eunuch Feng.

If Jiang Yun is kicked out of the Jinyiwei and Eunuch Feng is upset, it will not be worth a thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Yun looked at Yang Liunian and thought he must know something, so he bowed and asked, "Please give me some advice, Lord Yang."

Yang Liunian laughed and reminded Jiang Yun: "Have you forgotten Xia Lingxian from Nanzhou Prefecture?"

Hearing this name, Jiang Yun's pupils shrank slightly. He still remembered that Xia Lingxian said before his death that the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was his student.

Yang Liunian said slowly: "This Chang Pingyuan is Xia Lingxian's student."
