Chapter 388 I Can’t Hide It From You
Just when Xu Zhenfeng let go of the monster, lightning fell with a sharp sound and hit the monster's chest.
The monster let out a miserable howl, and then its body began to shake continuously.
When the lightning struck it, its entire body emitted a ball of white light, as if the lightning was illuminating it from the inside out, so that every internal organ could be seen clearly.
Xiong Da regained his human form and walked to Xu Zhenfeng, looking at the monster that was still shaking on the ground and spitting white foam from its mouth.
He made a "Puh" sound and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"This damn thing bit me so hard that it almost pierced my mouth."
Xu Zhenfeng frowned as he looked at the monster. The monks surrounded it again. Even Cifeng, Chongshan and the golden-backed goshawk stood beside Xu Zhenfeng and the others.
Everyone looked at the monster still trembling on the ground.
Manager Wu took out a pill, put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
He put his two palms together and, using some unknown magic, watched flesh and blood begin to grow on the white bone knuckles.
Xu Zhenfeng looked at it in surprise. Could a human heavenly cultivator have the ability to regenerate through flesh and blood?
Two or three monks came over carrying an iron cage made of unknown material.
The other two monks used a huge black iron clamp to pick up the monster that was still trembling and foaming, put it into an iron cage, and locked it up.
Xu Zhenfeng looked at the iron cage and said to Wu Zhangshi with some concern: "Can this cage hold this monster?"
At this time, Wu the Master also walked up to Xu Zhenfeng and said in a deep voice: "This is what my Jingmiao Pavilion used to imprison a demon emperor. It has also imprisoned great monsters. If this cage can't hold it, then there is nothing in the world that can hold it."
When Xu Zhenfeng and Xiong Da heard that this cage had once imprisoned the Demon Emperor and the Great Demon, they couldn't help but glance at Manager Wu.
Manager Wu quickly explained in a low voice: "That was all over a thousand years ago. Now our human race and the demon race are about to sign a new alliance.
From now on, the two tribes will be as friendly as brothers, and naturally there will be no more incidents involving the detention of the great demon."
Xiong Da looked at the size of the cage and suddenly asked, "Which big demon did you imprison at that time?"
Manager Wu looked a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, but still whispered, "The great demon Xiong Ku from the bear tribe."
Xiong Da's expression changed drastically when he heard this, "You guys...are locking him up to get his gallbladder?"
Manager Wu moved closer and said, "It's all in the past. From now on, the human race and the demon race will live in harmony, and things like this will never happen again."
The bear's head still had the trauma of being frightened in his childhood. He said that humans locked the bears in iron cages, connected a tube to the bears' gallbladders, and extracted the bears' bile through the tube every day.
I suddenly saw this cage today and heard a great human monk admit it himself.
He was filled with fear and anger.
"I have heard of the great demon Xiong Ku. He was captured by humans in the Demon Mountain and was redeemed decades later. After he returned to the Demon Mountain, his cultivation level dropped below the Great Demon realm."
He looked at Wu the Master hatefully, "You humans are always doing immoral things."
Manager Wu suddenly became unhappy, he glanced at Xiong Da and said, "The original agreement between the human and demon tribes was that the demon tribe was not allowed to go to the demon mountain privately.
As a great demon, Xiong Ku not only came down from the Demon Mountain, but also ate many humans.
The people he ate included men, women, young and old, and he spared no one, whether they were cultivators or ordinary people.
This is what he deserved. We humans have shown mercy by not killing him."
Xiong Da opened his mouth and wanted to make some explanation, but found that he had nothing to say.
He turned his head away and stopped looking at Manager Wu angrily.
Xu Zhenfeng took a closer look at the cage, and then said to Wu, "The matter here is over. The thief who stole your treasure has been caught, and we will return to Jinguan City.
Please ask Manager Wu to inform Manager Zhao of Jingmiao Pavilion in Jinguan City about what happened here, and we will live up to your trust."
Manager Wu quickly agreed. If Xu Zhenfeng had not told him that the person who stole the magic weapon might be You Xiong, the son of a demon whom he had never heard of, they might never have caught this monster.
"However, I still want to remind Chief Wu that since this monster is the son of a demon, once you catch it, you must be careful to prevent its biological parents from looking for it."
Manager Wu nodded solemnly.
Xu Zhenfeng took Xiong Da and said goodbye, preparing to return to Jinguan City overnight.
Manager Wu tried to persuade them to stay but failed, so he had to use the sign of Jingmiao Pavilion to ask the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate and escort them out of Dazhou City.
Big Bear was in a bad mood the whole way.
Xu Zhenfeng had no choice but to comfort him with a few words.
It wasn't a big deal that Xiong Ku went to the Demon Mountain secretly, he just ate humans and was caught. He was lucky to be able to redeem his life and return to the Demon Mountain.
By daybreak, they finally arrived back at Jinguan City.
Xu Zhenfeng first went to Jingmiao Pavilion, found Manager Zhao, and explained the affairs of Jingmiao Pavilion in Dazhou.
Manager Zhao was also very straightforward. After listening to what Xu Zhenfeng said, he immediately took out the bill for the Demon-Devouring Wheel that Xu Zhenfeng had bought on credit and destroyed it in front of him.
Xu Zhenfeng also mentioned that Xiong Da's suit of armor and tungsten hammer, which had not even been warmed up yet, were also stolen.
Manager Zhao took out another set of armor and hammer that was the same as the one Xiong Da had before.
It can be said that it makes up for Xiong Da’s loss.
Originally, Xiong Da's magic weapon was bought on credit, and with a wave of his hand, Manager Zhao considered it as a reward for them solving the theft at Dazhou Jingmiao Pavilion.
Xiong Da loved that set of magic tools very much, and now that he had found them again, he looked a little better.
The two demons left Jingmiao Pavilion and returned to their residence. Chu Daniu and his family were still living there.
Chu Xiangnan seemed to regard himself as the steward of this mansion.
He led the servants to bring water to Xu Zhenfeng and Xiong Da to wipe their faces, and asked the kitchen to prepare the meal quickly and serve it up.
Even Ci Feng and Chong Shan were taken by Chu Daniu to drink water, eat and wash.
Xu Zhenfeng had previously accepted several bounties from the Demon-Slaying Tower and assigned them to Langdu and the others to carry out the tasks.
Huangjingwawa and Lang Ning are tasked with collecting rare medicinal herbs.
None of them came back.
Xu Zhenfeng couldn't help but feel a little worried.
In the afternoon, Langdu, Langchen and Xiong Le'er came back.
They were going to a place called Bacheng, not far from Jinguan City, to deal with a small group of demons causing trouble.
Langdu went directly to the Demon-Slaying Tower to pay the reward, and happily received the magic crystal back.
When he saw Lang Du, Xu Zhenfeng didn't bother to ask him how the operation went. He pulled him aside, gave him some instructions, and told him to return to the Demon Mountain as soon as possible.
After instructing Langdu, Xu Zhenfeng thought about it and decided to just go to the next door and knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door was Zhou Qishan, the heavenly-level cultivator from the Great Shu royal family.
Zhou Qishan stood at the gate with a smile on his face, looked at Xu Zhenfeng and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
