Catching Monsters

Chapter 300 I obey Laozi's urgent command!

All the guests at the inn who did not possess any demonic aura have been dismissed and left the place.

The Imperial Guard squad that was originally monitoring and protecting the group of envoys from the demon kingdom near the inn was also a bit confused. What was going on?
Hu Zhifeng's expression changed slightly. He turned to look at Ao Qing and said in a deep voice, "Lord Ao Qing, is there something else you've done that you haven't told me?"

Seeing this, Ao Qing realized something was wrong, shook his head, and said, "That's all I did."

"There is absolutely nothing to hide."

Hu Zhifeng frowned and gave Ao Qing a deep look. This guy really was just asking for trouble.

If things get out of hand like this, the meteorite issue might become quite complicated.

That was a task assigned to me by the Demon Emperor...

He took a deep breath and instructed Ao Qing, "Lord Ao Qing, I'll go down and see what's going on. Don't leave here without permission."

After saying that, Hu Zhifeng quickly arrived at the entrance of the inn. At this time, the inn had been surrounded by the Embroidered Uniform Guards of the Eastern Garrison.

Hu Zhifeng was also stopped.

Zidane said coldly, "When the Embroidered Uniform Guard is handling a case, no one may enter or leave without permission."

Hu Zhifeng stared intently at Qi Da, then forced a smile and slowly said, "Young man, I wonder which official is on duty here? I'd like to ask what exactly is going on."

"We are an envoy from the Demon Kingdom."

Zidane gave him a deep look and said slowly, "That's perfect, you're the ones I've been looking for."

After a moment's thought, Zidane asked, "Does your word carry any weight?"

"follow me."

"Yes." Hu Zhifeng had a smile on his face the whole time. Even though he was one of the most intelligent people in the demon kingdom, he didn't have Ao Qing's bad temper.

Following behind Zidane, they soon arrived in front of a young commander of the Imperial Guard.

Jiang Yun stood behind the Jinyiwei guards, his face ashen, holding their swords.

After Qi Da approached Jiang Yun, he respectfully bowed and said, "Lord Jiang, this person claims to be from the Demon Kingdom's delegation and has come to inquire about what happened."

Jiang Yun's gaze fell on Hu Zhifeng, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly. Hu Zhifeng's aura suggested that his strength was probably at the peak of the fourth rank.

Hu Zhifeng mimicked human mannerisms, clasping his hands in a respectful bow and smiling politely, "This must be Lord Jiang Yun. I am Hu Zhifeng from the Demon Kingdom's delegation, in charge of matters for this trip."

"If you have any instructions, just let me know. There's no need for such a big fuss."

Jiang Yun remained expressionless and asked calmly, "Is Ao Qing here?"

Hu Zhifeng said with a smile, "Lord Ao Qing left this place this evening. I wonder where he went. Does Lord Jiang have something to discuss with him?"

"Whoosh!" Jiang Yun shouted, "The demonic dragon Ao Qing attacked the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. His crimes are heinous and he should be executed according to the law."

"Wait, wait a minute." Hu Zhifeng quickly raised his hand and looked at Jiang Yun, saying, "Lord Jiang, Lord Ao Qing is a descendant of the Demon Emperor, you..."

"Even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't make a difference." Jiang Yun said coldly, pushing Hu Zhifeng aside and ordering, "Whoosh!"

With Jiang Qiaoqiao's fate now unknown, why would Jiang Yun care about such things?
Soon, a large number of Imperial Guards rushed into the inn.

It didn't take long.

There was a loud bang.

Two figures suddenly smashed open a room window.

The two Imperial Guards who rushed in were beaten out, spitting blood and seriously injured.

Ao Qing stood at the window, her eyes icy, and slowly said, "Jiang Yun, are you looking for death? Do you know who I am?"

"Release Jiang Qiaoqiao, and we can talk this out slowly." Jiang Yun took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.

Jiang Yun was worried that Jiang Qiaoqiao was still in his hands, so he was always hesitant to act rashly.

Upon seeing this, Ao Qing honestly replied, "I didn't capture her!"

Jiang Yun snorted coldly and said, "You didn't capture her, so you went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to kill people for fun?"

Looking around the inn, there were nearly three hundred elite Imperial Guards.

Ao Qing gritted his teeth and said, "She escaped from my grasp!"

Shame!

What a shame!

Despite his strength as a third-grade demon king, he tried to capture a human girl, but she managed to escape.

I'm too ashamed to even talk about this.

"Ao Qing, if you're going to make up a reason, at least make one that's plausible." Jiang Yun's eyes were icy as he said in a deep voice, "I'll count to three. If you don't release him by then, I won't be polite."

"one."

"two."

"Two and a half."

Jiang Yun's face darkened. This guy wouldn't admit defeat until he was faced with a death sentence. He took a deep breath and said, "Do it!"

In an instant, all the Jinyiwei experts took off their iron hooks, jumped onto the surrounding rooftops, and threw them at Ao Qing.

Ao Qing also said with a stern face: "Jiang Yun, you don't know what's good for you!"

Then, a dragon's roar resounded, and Ao Qing transformed into a five-clawed true dragon with blue dragon scales, spewing out raging flames.

Wherever the flames passed, the two Imperial Guards were unable to dodge in time and were instantly burned to ashes.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun turned to Hu Zhifeng and said, "If any of you other monsters dare to make a move, I will take you all down today."

After saying that, Jiang Yun bit her finger, leaped up, and jumped onto the roof. Then she flicked her finger.

A drop of blood quickly flew to Jiang Yun's front.

Jiang Yun drew a talisman in the air with two fingers, and in an instant, the drop of blood quickly formed a complex talisman in mid-air.

In an instant, the talisman formed from solidified blood transformed into a circle, and one after another, blood-red arrows shot out from the talisman.

Upon seeing this, Ao Qing's eyes turned cold. His dragon scales were incredibly strong, and ordinary attacks could not break through their strength.

To its surprise, these blood-red arrows pierced through the dragon's scales with ease. *Pfft.*

puff.

puff.

Soon, more than a dozen wounds appeared on his abdomen and tail, and dragon blood gushed out like a blood mist.

The dragon's mournful cry echoed throughout the capital city.

At the same time, hundreds of elite Imperial Guards also threw out their iron hooks, and in an instant, countless iron hooks tightly entangled Ao Qing.

Ao Qing struggled incessantly, trying to fly into the sky.

However, he was stopped by hundreds of elite Imperial Guards below.

Only then did Ao Qing realize something was wrong, and he swept his tail across.

In an instant, the hundreds of hooks that were entangled around him were turned into a mess.

The immense force caused a large number of skilled Imperial Guards below to collide, resulting in significant casualties.

……

Inside the imperial study, Xiao Yuzheng was flipping through memorials, most of which were related to the banditry in the southwest.

This banditry in the southwest is like a huge gold-devouring beast. An army of 400,000 has been gathered and has been attacking for nearly half a year, yet they still cannot subdue this bandit group.

Now, this matter is Xiao Yuzheng's biggest worry; everything else has to take a backseat.

Xiao Yuzheng was already getting tired of reading the memorials and was starting to feel sleepy.

But suddenly.

A dragon's roar resounded throughout the capital, instantly rousing Xiao Yuzheng. His brows furrowed tightly. A dragon's roar?
"Feng Yu!"

"Dog slave!"

"Get in."

The door was quickly pushed open, and Feng Yu, holding a bowl of ginseng soup, strode into the imperial study.

At this time, Feng Yu would go to the Imperial Study to bring Xiao Yuzheng a bowl of ginseng soup, which he would respectfully place on the table.

"Did you hear the dragon's roar just now?"

Feng Yu nodded repeatedly and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this servant naturally heard it."

Xiao Yuzheng frowned and said somewhat impatiently, "Have these demonic dragons become too lawless lately?"

"As you said, there was just a disturbance at the Sanqing Temple."

“A few days ago, another disturbance occurred at Qingfeng Temple.”

"Is this capital city theirs, the land of the dragon clan? Do they think they can act with impunity?"

"What are you up to in the middle of the night?"

With a flattering smile, Feng Yu nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xiao Yuzheng's words, and said, "Perhaps..."

After saying those three words, Feng Yu frowned. Something was wrong.

Ao Qing had just offended Jiang Yun, but he had managed to escape by sheer luck.

Why is it now emitting a dragon's roar and a scream?
Could it be.

Feng Yu's pupils contracted slightly, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Oh no, Your Majesty!"

"Ao Qing is probably in trouble!"

"Something happened?" Xiao Yuzheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I send a lot of Imperial Guards to protect him? In the capital, even if someone can cause him trouble, they can't afford to disrespect my Imperial Guards."

Feng Yu's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that the ones who will cause him trouble are the Embroidered Uniform Guards..."

"You mean Jiang Yun?" Xiao Yuzheng asked.

Feng Yu nodded slightly: "That brat is really bold; he's capable of anything."

"This old servant must hurry and go check. If Jiang Yun killed Ao Qing, that brat will be in big trouble!"

……

At this moment, countless blood-red arrows pierced through Ao Qing's body in the sky above the inn.

Ao Qing was covered in blood mist as he struggled incessantly.

With bloodshot eyes, Ao Qing disregarded everything else, opened his gaping maw, and began to scorch the surrounding houses.

Soon, several nearby streets were engulfed in raging demonic fire.

Moreover, these demonic flames are far beyond what ordinary people can withstand.

Then, it flew around, its entire body crackling with lightning.

Thunderbolts rained down, blasting countless houses and dwellings to smithereens.

Fighting within the inner city at the third-rank level is extremely destructive.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, looked at Ao Qing, and then quickly sat cross-legged on the roof.

Then he slowly recited:

"Heaven is in chaos, earth is in chaos. We pay homage to the Three Altars of Laozi. Riding a green ox from the ditch, he emerges from the Heavenly Gate, receiving a willow branch to divide the world. He slays the wicked gods of the mortal realm, and he subdues the evil spirits of the mortal realm so that they cannot approach him. He beheads the evil spirits and demons so that they are no longer on his body."

"The sky is clear, the earth is sacred, the six Ding and six Jia soldiers, Laozi accompanies me everywhere, the sage guards and leads the heavenly army. I obey Laozi's urgent command!"

The moment he finished reciting, Jiang Yun raised his right hand, pointed both hands toward the sky, and a booming sound came from the sky.

In an instant, a five-colored auspicious cloud slowly drifted out of the sky.

Then, the five-colored auspicious cloud quickly gathered together.

Ao Qing's expression changed drastically. He looked up abruptly, and an unprecedented sense of crisis washed over him!

His instincts told him to run!
