Catching Monsters

Chapter 135: The Evil One Attacks (Update)
A team of more than 300 Jinyiwei from the Eastern Pacification Division arrived at the palace gate and waited quietly.

Ancestor worship is a grand ceremony, especially the Spring Festival festival.

Before setting off, Emperor Zhengde had to get up very early and perform a blessing ceremony after fasting and bathing in the main hall of the imperial palace.

Then he put on the crown and went to the imperial mausoleum.

Normally, along the way, officials of all ranks from the six ministries and other departments in the capital would be needed to accompany them to the imperial mausoleum.

However, this year is an exception. His Majesty issued an oral order in advance, asking all officials to rush to the imperial mausoleum first.

Before daybreak, officials of all ranks had already arrived at the imperial mausoleum, waiting for His Majesty to arrive.

The huge and heavy main gate of the palace slowly opened, and then a ceremonial team consisting of hundreds of people walked out first.

The guard of honor held various flags and banners, such as the sun and moon flag, dragon and phoenix flag, etc. These flags were brightly colored and exquisitely designed, with patterns embroidered on them symbolizing the royal majesty.

In the back is the band, with a variety of musical instruments, including bells, chimes, drums, shengs, and flutes.

Finally comes the Emperor’s dragon chariot.

The dragon chariot was pulled by six horses and its body was inlaid with all kinds of gold and silver, making it extremely gorgeous.

Yang Liunian, who had been waiting nearby, quickly waved his hand and led the two generals Wei Huaian and Pang Bichi forward.

More than sixty Jinyiwei from the Eastern Pacification Division, personal guards.

The other Jinyiwei spread out and cleared the central street of pedestrians, and there was also a Jinyiwei observing on every roof.

Inside the luxurious dragon chariot, Xiao Yuzheng was wearing a loose crown and robes. Inside the chariot, Feng Yu stood respectfully beside him, watching the team move along the central street.

On the way, Jiang Yun followed beside the dragon chariot with frowned brows. He blinked at Feng Yu inside through the window, indicating that he had something to say.

Feng Yu thought for a moment, opened the window, and poked his head out: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yun said to Feng Yu in a deep voice: "Eunuch, the rebels from the Red Lotus Cult may make some moves today."

"Do you think we should take another route?"

Feng Yu's face showed no surprise at all, instead he smiled: "Jiang Xiaoqi just needs to do his job well."

After that, he went back inside and closed the window.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun thought to himself, since he had already told Feng Yu the news, there was nothing he could do if the other party didn't take it seriously.

At least in Jiang Yun's opinion, the Red Lotus Cult's success rate is very low...

Terribly low.

For example, in his own opinion, if he wanted to rebel, he should contact the army, as the army was owed various salaries.

If incited, there might be a mutiny.

Or perhaps there will be a wave of uprisings in various places.

Gather the power of the entire Red Lotus Sect to assassinate the emperor.

It's just a last resort.

Linglong doesn't seem to be such a stupid person. Could it be that there is something that she hasn't expected?

The entire team slowly moved towards the outer city along the central street.

There was complete silence except for the music played by the band.

The roads had long since been cleared.

Suddenly, a woman in a red robe slowly walked out in front of the empty and wide Central Street. She stood in front, blocking the direction of the entire guard of honor.

"who?"

The Jinyiwei on the eaves on both sides rubbed their eyes. It seemed that this woman appeared here in an instant.

"Take it."

Soon, the Jinyiwei on the houses on both sides drew the swords at their waists, jumped high, and rushed towards Linglong.

Linglong was not wearing a mask. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the Jinyiwei who were rushing towards her. She was very skilled and in a moment, she snatched the swords of the two Jinyiwei who were rushing towards her.

He killed the two men with his backhand.

Then she threw out the bodies of the two Jinyiwei, and they fell directly beside the dragon chariot, scaring the six horses of the chariot and making them scream.

Yang Liunian's pupils trembled slightly and he was shocked. Who is this person who dares to disturb His Majesty's ancestor worship?

"Who are you?" Yang Liunian kicked the horse's back and flew high into the air. Then he landed in front of the team and drew his sword. "You disturbed your majesty's ancestral worship and killed the Jinyiwei. Do you know what crime you committed?"

Linglong slowly opened her hands and said loudly: "The fate of the Great Zhou has come to an end. The Red Lotus is about to descend to save the world. I am the reincarnation of the Taoist Master. Submit your loyalty to me! There will be no more disasters, diseases, or pain in the world."

"You all can live forever!"

Yang Liunian's eyes flashed, and then he showed a look of joy!
The leader of the Red Lotus Cult!
I didn't expect that she would dare to come to the capital to cause trouble again!
If we can capture it, it will be a great achievement!
Thinking of this, Yang Liunian immediately shouted: "Capture the rebels!"

In fact, there was no need for Yang Liunian to give orders, as more and more Jinyiwei were coming from all directions.

Except for the subordinates of the two general flags Wei Huaian and Pang Bucci, all other Jinyiwei are already in place.

Looking at the situation ahead, Feng Yu smiled and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the show is about to begin."

Xiao Yuzheng leaned on the dragon chair in the dragon chariot and said calmly: "Then let's watch a good show."

boom!
boom!
Suddenly, explosions were heard from the houses on both sides of Central Avenue!

The powerful shock almost made Jiang Yun unable to stand.

Countless explosives had already been hidden in the houses on both sides.

The houses on both sides of the street were blown into ruins one after another, and many Jinyiwei standing on the eaves were hit by the powerful explosion and killed on the spot.

Linglong looked at the hundreds of people in the honor guard with a somewhat morbid look and said softly, "Bang."

boom!
The explosives that had been hidden underground exploded with a loud bang.

The entire guard of honor was blown to pieces.

The six horses pulling the dragon chariot were also frightened and ran away.

Fortunately, under Feng Yu's protection, Xiao Yuzheng was able to patrol out of the dragon chariot and land on the ground.

Jiang Yun and other Jinyiwei quickly surrounded Xiao Yuzheng to protect him.

Jiang Yun was frightened when he saw the devastated scene around him caused by explosives, and he subconsciously touched a talisman in his hand.

He wasn't sure if there were any explosives buried under his feet.

Soon, one after another, people in red robes walked out from the smoke-filled rubble.

The evil people of the Red Lotus Sect. At a glance, the number of these evil people was as many as 400.

Among these people, there were old and young, male and female, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Yuzheng, who was guarded by Jiang Yun and others.

"kill!"

"Kill the dog emperor!"

"on!"

All the evil people rushed towards this side madly.

Wei Huaian looked back anxiously, but Xiao Yuzheng's face was expressionless, neither happy nor sad, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Your Majesty, we will escort you back to the palace first!"

There are imperial guards inside the palace, so this group of evil people can't get in.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuzheng was calm and composed. He put his hands behind his back and said, "This is my world, my capital. I will not retreat a single step. Let's see what these rebels can do to me."

Feng Yu stood by at the right time and flattered him: "Your Majesty's move can be said to be in line with the style of Taizu who dominated the world..."

Jiang Yun was standing not far away, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Damn it, otherwise how could Feng Yu become the emperor's confidant?

Even at this time, he still doesn't forget to flatter.

Soon, many evil people arrived.

Jiang Yun also hurriedly shouted: "Go!"

But he leaned towards Xiao Yuzheng and Feng Yu...

There are so many evil people, and there are countless masters among them. If I really rush up to them, I will probably become cannon fodder and die in one encounter.

On the contrary, Jiang Yun knew very well that Xiao Yuzheng must have something to rely on in order to remain calm in the face of danger.

The closer you are to Xiao Yuzheng, the safer you will be.

Soon, more than sixty Jinyiwei came into close combat with these evil men.

Most of these Jinyiwei are only at the seventh level in martial arts. Even if they fight alone against evil people of the same level, they will suffer losses.

What's more, the number of people on the other side far exceeds ours.

Xu Xiaogang swung the sword in his hand and quickly killed two weaker Red Lotus Sect evil men. His Feiyu suit was also stained with blood.

He looked back and shouted to Jiang Yun: "Brother-in-law, protect His Majesty!"

Among the Jinyiwei, people like Xu Xiaogang and the children of other powerful families are more desperate than the Jinyiwei from ordinary families. They can even be described as fearless and brave.

Jiang Yun watched Xu Xiaogang fighting, and was soon surrounded by four evil men and fell into a disadvantage. It might not be long before he met with an accident.

Jiang Yun frowned, rushed forward, and took out the talisman: "Samadhi True Fire, thousands of miles of flowing light. Shining on the heaven and earth, shining in all directions. The rivers and seas are boiling, and demons are hiding. The Southern Dipper descends, and the Samadhi light flows."

"Refine the fetus to change the quality, refine the soul to make it healthy. All the monsters will die and fly away on the smoke. Hurry up and obey the command."

In an instant, the Samadhi True Fire gushed out and burned towards the four evil men who besieged Xu Xiaogang.

Three of them reacted in time and dodged quickly, thus avoiding the disaster.

One person reacted a little bit late and was instantly touched by the Samadhi Fire. Soon, the Samadhi Fire spread all over his body.

His whole body was burning with flames. He lay on the ground, rolling and howling.

Jiang Yun rushed forward and saw two bloody wounds on Xu Xiaogang's chest. He whispered, "We only get more than twenty taels of silver a month. Why are you playing with your life?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaogang took a deep breath and said, "You don't understand."

After saying that, Xu Xiaogang attacked the group of evil people again.

The situation was gradually getting out of control.

Xiao Yuzheng and Feng Yu were surrounded and protected by more than sixty Jinyiwei.

Outside of the Jinyiwei, there were more than 400 evil people surrounding and attacking frantically.

Seeing this, Yang Liunian, who was far away, hurriedly called on his Jinyiwei to come back for help.

If something happens to Your Majesty, what is the point of capturing the Red Lotus Leader?

Linglong looked at the many subordinates she had recruited, gathered and trained with great difficulty, who were attacking frantically. She had a happy smile on her face, but a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

"They want to come back for help, Guardian Xing!" Linglong ordered loudly: "Keep them!"

On the rubble, Xing Cuirou actually played the guzheng, and the sound of the guzheng kept attacking the Jinyiwei who were preparing to return for help.

Yang Liunian's pupils shrank.

"Intoxicating Demonic Sound."

For a moment, Yang Liunian's consciousness was in a trance, but he quickly came to his senses.

Although Yang Liunian looks fat, he looks like a typical corrupt official.

But he is actually at the peak of the fifth level of Qi Control in martial arts.

Although he was not bothered by the phantom sound, other Jinyiwei who were preparing to return to provide support were bothered by the phantom sound, and their eyes became blurry.

He was experienced and instantly rushed towards the old woman playing the guzheng.

If he didn't kill the old woman, it would be difficult for the many Jinyiwei men under his command to escape from the illusion.

The situation on Jiang Yun's side was not optimistic either. Xu Xiaogang was frantically resisting the evil man's attack. His body was covered in blood and wounds, like a bloody man.

Jiang Yun was also there and was stabbed in the chest and back.

If this goes on, no one knows whether Xiao Yuzheng will live or die, but the two of them will definitely die here.

The evil people around were staring at Jiang Yun fiercely.

Moreover, it was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Enshrouded in demonic, evil and murderous auras, these evil people also used their magical powers.

Ghosts, evil spirits, monsters and other creatures are everywhere.

These methods made it difficult for the Jinyiwei, who practiced martial arts, to deal with them.

Even Jiang Yun himself was a little flustered and overwhelmed.

He saw six more evil men rushing towards him and Xu Xiaogang, with murderous intent in their eyes.

Jiang Yun gritted his teeth. Seeing that the situation was urgent, he took a deep breath and threw up a yellow talisman.

"The sky is round and the earth is square, the laws are nine chapters, I write now, all the ghosts hide, the Three Pure Ones above, the spirits below..."

"Disciple Jiang Yun, respectfully invites the Great Pure Daode Tianzun!"
