Urban Demon Refining System

"Hmph! You filthy thing, overestimating yourself!" A cold snort rang out, and a beautiful woman in ancient costume floated out from the screen of Zhao Baichuan's phone in his pocket. It was Baihua Xiu.

"You..." The vampire's eyes widened when it saw Baihua Xiu. "How could you... have... a blood pact!" At this moment, it had already released its grip on Zhao Baichuan's mouth, covered its neck with its two paws, and showed a painful expression on its face.

"Hmph! You're smart enough to know the power of the blood pact. If you had taken another breath, you would be ashes by now." Baihua Xiu flipped her hand, and a golden light appeared in her hand, striking the vampire's throat.

"Thank you for sparing my life, fairy!" The vampire's pained expression immediately eased, and he collapsed to the ground like a pestle being pounded, repeatedly begging for mercy.

"Your Highness, we can't let him off so easily!" Zhao Baichuan rested on the ground for a while before slowly recovering. He staggered over to the vampire and said fiercely, "This guy has been entrenched here for a long time and must have harmed many people. We can't let him get away with this so easily!"

"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing!" Baihua Xiu waved her hand to interrupt Zhao Baichuan, and said to the vampire, "Since you can speak human language and have removed the transverse bone in your throat, you must have been cultivating for quite some time!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Highness has such discerning eyes! It has been a full three hundred years since I gained sentience!" The vampire dared not hide anything and took the initiative to tell his origins.

Before this city hospital was built, this place was a graveyard of the dead, a site of war. Three hundred years ago, this vampire was just an ordinary bat that, by chance, drank the blood of a human imbued with malevolent energy, thus transforming into a vampire. Of course, this vampire isn't the blood race of Western mythology, but a real, monstrous creature.

After it transformed into a vampire, it remained attached to the malevolent energy of this place, and thus lingered there for over three hundred years.

"According to you, you've been entrenched here all this time, so how could you possibly know the disciples of Mount Shu?" Zhao Baichuan asked with some doubt. Since this vampire was so afraid of the people of Mount Shu, they must have had dealings with each other before.

"Reporting to my lord, not long after I transformed into this vampire, I encountered a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe who claimed to be a disciple of Mount Shu, collecting demons from all over the world. This Dead Man's Hill originally had more than just me as a vampire; there was also a group of powerful bat demons. But even so, we demons were still utterly defeated by him, and the two leading bat demon leaders were even captured in that terrifying teapot."

"These Shu Mountain disciples are quite formidable." Bai Huaxiu's eyes flickered, lost in thought. Zhao Baichuan, standing nearby, overheard this and his heart skipped a beat. "Bat demons? Could they be the group hiding in the woods near Lefu Square?"

"That's right, that Shushan disciple was incredibly brave and skilled, one person and one pot..." The vampire saw Baihua Xiu's expression and assumed she was praising him, so he immediately showered the Taoist with compliments.

"Alright! That's enough!" However, this flattery didn't seem to hit the mark, as neither Zhao Baichuan nor Baihua Xiu were particularly interested in Shushan.

"Yes, fairy!" Seeing Baihua Xiu's displeasure, the vampire immediately stopped talking, but his heart was pounding. Had he angered her?

"I heard you have a piece of blood jade, bring it over for me to see!" Baihua Xiu ignored his little scheme and spoke expressionlessly.

"Fairy, this Blood Jade is something I've painstakingly cultivated for three hundred years..." Upon hearing this, the vampire shuddered and said with some reluctance.

"I told you to bring it!"

"Yes, yes..." Seeing that Baihua Xiu seemed to be getting angry, the vampire didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly spat out a piece of blood-red jade from his mouth. "Fairy, this is the blood jade!"

"Hehe, you little devil are quite clever!" Baihua Xiu nodded in satisfaction when she saw the Blood Jade, and with a flick of her sleeve, she took the Blood Jade away. "Zhao Baichuan, this vampire is not bad, why don't you use that teapot to capture him!"

"Alright!" He wasn't a magnanimous person. The vampire had just bitten him, but now that Baihua Xiu was backing him up, he didn't hesitate at all. He directly opened the Demon Refining Teapot and took it from the vampire.

"Lord Zhao! Please have mercy! You are a magnanimous man who will forgive my sins. Please spare this little devil this time. I will repay you by serving you like a slave!"

The vampire shuddered at Zhao Baichuan's action, still vividly remembering the fate of that bat demon from years ago, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"You can repay me by working like a slave after I take you in!" Zhao Baichuan chuckled, pointed the screen at the vampire, and clicked the "capture demon" button.

"Damn it! If that's how it is, then die! Blood Jade! Explode!" Just as the beam of light was about to strike the vampire, the guy's eyes suddenly turned ferocious, and he uttered a command. The Blood Jade, which had been held by Baihua Xiu, began to shake violently. Then, with a "boom," it exploded.

"Oh no!" Baihua Xiu was clearly caught off guard and was hit squarely by the explosion, not expecting the vampire to choose a desperate, all-or-nothing approach.

"You forced me to this! You guys from Shu Mountain, I've had enough of you! Blood Clone! Swift!" The vampire glared venomously at Baihua Xiu and Zhao Baichuan, his blood vessels bursting open, and a look of pain on his face. This guy had actually split his entire body apart.

"Whoosh!" After a while, the vampire, which was originally human-sized, split into four smaller bats. They called out twice in Zhao Baichuan's direction and fled in different directions.

"Zhao Baichuan! Quick! Don't let it get away! Chase that one over there!" Baihua Xiu, who had been injured by the Blood Jade, suddenly became weak as she pointed at a small vampire.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Baichuan asked, somewhat worried about her injuries.

"It's alright! Hurry and chase after them!" Baihua Xiu shouted anxiously, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and her body suddenly became ethereal.

"I urgently need to recover my energy, so don't call me unless it's urgent." Baihua Xiu left with these words, her body turning into golden light and returning to the phone.

"This..." Zhao Baichuan was somewhat astonished, wondering why Baihua Xiu's behavior was so different. Was it because the power of the blood jade explosion was too great? Or was she just bluffing all along?

"Forget it! Never mind all that! Chase after them!" These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and the next moment, he chased after them without hesitation in the direction Baihua Xiu had indicated.
