The talisman fell and the door opened. The monster tied up in the house raised its head and tilted its ear towards the direction of the door, trying to figure out who was coming.
The chains rattled as he pulled.
“Ah, ah…”
It made short, sharp sounds from its mouth and seemed unable to speak.
When Song Tan saw the situation inside, he frowned.
He raised his hand and shot out four thumb-sized stones from his sleeve, hitting the four iron chains respectively, and the chains broke with a sound.
The monster was frightened and when it realized that its hands and feet were free, it quickly reached out and grabbed the only remaining chain around its neck.
“Ah, ah!!”
It screamed violently, reminding the visitor that the chain around its neck was still there.
Song Tan stopped doing anything but walked into the house, looked around it, and then stopped in front of it after walking around it.
He bent down slightly, "Clam monster."
Hearing this, the clam monster shook its body, as if it was afraid.
The clam monster's clothes were torn and tattered, its exposed skin was covered with wounds of varying sizes, and its messy, tangled hair obscured its face.
It's so miserable.
"What are you doing?!"
Suddenly, an angry shout was heard outside the yard, followed by noisy footsteps.
A group of people rushed in from outside the yard, and Xue Xi was standing in the middle.
The person walking in front pointed at Mo Qin and the others and asked:
"Who are you? Why are you here? How did you get in?!"
Xue Xi's face darkened slightly. When he saw the door was already opened, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Mo Qin stood at the outermost edge, so the job of explaining fell on Mo Qin.
She said, "We are demon exorcists who have come to celebrate your father's birthday. We didn't expect to find such a 'treasure' in your yard."
Xuexi's mouth twitched slightly.
Happy birthday?
The guests are all in the front hall, why are they wandering here?
Besides, he didn't plan to invite any demon exorcists on his guest list.
Xue Xi raised his hand and signaled to the servants behind him. The two servants immediately closed the courtyard door and stood guard outside the gate.
He carefully examined the uninvited guests in front of him.
"What do you want to do? The thing in the house is a demon. It wanted to harm people first. I just had it imprisoned here. There is no problem."
"A demon exorcist wouldn't meddle in other people's business, would he?"
Jiang Yisheng frowned after hearing this.
"Even if it's a demon, it has demonic powers. You can't imprison it here!"
There are many cases of monsters harming people, people being afraid of monsters, and people harming monsters.
Monsters practice and use magic to prolong their lives, and the luck and flesh and blood of monsters are also coveted by humans.
Some high-ranking officials would team up with evil-minded demon hunters to kill demons in an attempt to prolong their own lives or change their luck.
This demon that was imprisoned here was in such a miserable state that it was hard for him not to suspect that humans had done something to the demon.
Song Tan stepped out of the house and looked at Xue Xi with a frown.
The clam monster's lifespan is almost coming to an end.
Xue Xi clenched his hands, which were half hidden under his sleeves, and he sneered.
"As demon hunters, you should stand on the side of humans instead of fighting for a demon!"
"Do you know how many people she has harmed? What has she done? And you come to accuse me?"
Song Tan touched his chin and said, "In my opinion, this clam monster has never killed anyone."
Xue Xi's eyes widened slightly, he was choked and angry, he said:
"...What do you mean? You want to attack me for the monster? Don't forget whose territory you are on!"
Song Tan pointed to the room and questioned:
"If this monster really hurt you, why didn't you just kill it?"
Xue Xi's voice became hoarse after being asked this question. He moved his mouth but seemed unable to find any words to refute.
At this time, the courtyard door was opened and Xue's father came in from outside. Seeing so many people here, his face suddenly turned pale.
"How did you get in? Why don't you arrest them and bring them before the authorities?"
Jiang Yisheng's expression changed.
It was wrong for him to break into someone else's house without permission, but it was also wrong for them to imprison the monster.
Jiang Yisheng glanced at Yao Yao beside him, straightened his body, and said calmly:
"No matter what you say, we must take this monster away today!"
When Xue's father heard this, he trembled with anger.
Jiang Yisheng said righteously: "Do you think the luck of a demon is so easy to borrow?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a trace of guilt flashed across the faces of Xue's father and son, and Xue's father didn't think it was his fault at all.
"This clam monster deliberately confused me. If it hadn't been discovered early, my whole family might have been killed!"
Thinking of this, he actually felt justified.
“We deserve this!”
Jiang Yisheng felt that he had the upper hand, so he took advantage of the situation and pursued the opponent.
"If the Emperor knew about this, what would he think? We are the demon exorcists specially hired by the Emperor!"
“…”
When Jiang Yisheng began to shine, Mo Qin stepped aside and looked back and forth between the Xue family's father and son.
They had just entered the courtyard when Xue Xi appeared with his men.
Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Even Xue's father is here, so the guests in front don't need to be taken care of?
Finally, under Jiang Yisheng's insistence, the Xue family father and son had to let them take the clam monster away.
-
The guests in the front hall have not yet left.
Jiang Yisheng took the clam monster and secretly left through the back door of Xue's house.
Xue Xi and his son sent the uninvited guests away. When they were alone, Xue's father bent his back, stood behind Xue Xi, and poked his head out to ask tentatively:
