Urban Demon Refining System

"Fellow Daoist Huang Feng, if a golden rooster can truly hatch from that golden egg, the poison in your body will naturally be cured!" the centipede demon said with a smile.

"Golden egg..." Yellow Wind Monster's face turned ugly. If it weren't for the golden egg, would he have been poisoned by the Gu? Most importantly, the real golden egg had already been taken by the Rat Thief.

"What's wrong? Has something changed?" Kui Mulang keenly noticed the grim look on Huang Fengguai's face and asked.

"To tell you the truth! The golden egg is real, but it's no longer in my hands!" Huang Fengguai briefly recounted the theft of the golden egg. Now, saving his own life was the priority, and he couldn't bother to cover up this scandal involving his subordinates.

"Brother Huang Feng, don't worry, I'll send my men to find out where Rat Big is. As long as he hasn't escaped from Wuji Ridge, I'll definitely be able to dig him out!" the centipede demon said, patting his chest.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Duomu!"

The centipede spirit did not slack off. It muttered incantations, and soon, all the centipedes and insects in Wuji Ridge seemed to receive some kind of command, and began to rustle and search the ground.

"No! I want to dig out this traitor myself!" Huang Fengguai had no patience to wait any longer and got up to leave.

“I’ll go with you!” Kui Mulang stood up as well.

The centipede demon didn't try to stop them any longer and watched them leave. However, just as Kui Mulang reached the door, his nose suddenly twitched as a refreshing fragrance wafted towards him. His expression changed, and his eyes instantly turned sharp.

“Brother Yellow Robe, you…” Yellow Wind Monster noticed his unusual behavior and asked.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany Brother Huang Feng to capture that traitor!"

"No problem! With the help of Fellow Daoist Duomu, I believe that rat won't escape our grasp." Huang Feng said a few polite words and then rode away on his yellow wind.

Kui Mulang, however, flashed and transformed into a fly the size of a soybean, silently flying back towards Huanghua Temple.

The Huanghua Temple wasn't very big. Besides the main hall where Laozi's golden statue stood, there were only two or three side rooms. The fly that Kui Mulang had transformed into followed the fragrance, circled around the temple, and landed in one of the rooms.

"Baihua! Is that you?" The room was small, and the wooden coffin was placed in a prominent position. Kui Mulang landed on it and asked.

"It's me! Now I'm just a spirit. Open the wooden coffin and let me out!"

"A spirit?" Kui Mulang was taken aback, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Was it caused by that centipede demon?"

"Let me out first!"

Kui Mulang reverted to human form, placed his hands on the wooden coffin, and slowly slid the lid open. "Baihua! How did you become like this! Could it be that the Great Sage...?"

At this moment, Baihuaxiu was in very bad condition. Her entire body was almost transparent, as if her entire form would dissipate if blown by the wind.

"It's not the Great Sage's fault, it's someone else!" Baihua Xiu shook her head. "Let's leave here first!"

"Hmph! Fellow Daoist in yellow robes, it's not polite to trespass on someone else's property!" Suddenly, the centipede demon's voice rang out. Kui Mulang turned around and saw a giant centipede staring at him menacingly.

"Hehe! You've come at the right time. You've tormented my Daoist partner to this state; I was just about to go out and settle the score with you!"

"Haha! You want to settle scores with me! Yellow Robe Monster, you're really overestimating yourself. In terms of seniority, the Fox King is still my peer! Take this!" The centipede demon spat out a stream of venom and sprayed it towards Kui Mulang.

"Hmph! Fool!" Kui Mulang transformed his palm into a claw, dodging the venom spray, and grabbed at the centipede demon's head.

"Squeak!" The centipede demon couldn't dodge in time, and one of its legs was grabbed off, falling to the ground and turning into a wisp of black smoke.

"Such powerful physical strength!" The centipede was secretly shocked. He had great confidence in his own body's defense, but he didn't expect that one of his legs would be broken so easily!

"The Heavenly Dog Eats the Sun!" Kui Mulang showed no mercy. A cyan phantom materialized from his chest and pounced towards the centipede demon.

"Hundred Insects Devour Bones!" The centipede dared not take the attack head-on. Its whole body trembled continuously, and centipedes formed from black mist fell off its body, wriggling as they crawled toward the illusory figure.

"Roar!" The phantom opened its mouth, and a flash of green light appeared. Swarms of centipedes were sucked into its belly, and the ground that was originally densely covered with centipedes was instantly cleared away.

"Damn it!" The centipede demon hadn't expected the phantom to be so powerful, and hurriedly retreated, but it was still a step too late. The phantom opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on its body.

"Leg severed!" The centipede demon, in pain, struggled violently, and under the shroud of black mist, its entire lower body detached.

"Yellow-robed monster! You have disregarded the code of the demon race! I will demand justice from the Fox King!"

"Hmph! The Fox King has no right to interfere with me! And do you think you can leave here alive?" Kui Mulang flicked his finger, and the phantom suddenly grew larger. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a giant blue wolf!

"It's celestial energy! You're from the Heavenly Court!" the centipede demon screamed.

"You only just realized it now? Too late!" Kui Mulang's eyes flashed coldly, and the blue wolf roared as it pounced on the centipede demon. He now possessed a dual identity as both a celestial and a demon, and the Fox King of Ten Thousand Years was still unaware of his identity as a star official in the Heavenly Palace. If this centipede demon were to reveal it, he would face the wrath of the entire demon race.

"Ten Thousand Gu Devour the Heart!" The centipede demon was unwilling to surrender, and its entire body instantly split into countless smaller centipedes, which swarmed towards the phantom.

"Gu techniques!" Kui Mulang's expression finally changed. "You actually practiced Gu techniques! Have you forgotten the ancient alliance between humans and demons?"

"Hmph! I don't care about Gu magic or sorcery. As long as it can improve my strength, I don't care about that bullshit alliance!" The centipedes gathered into a gaping maw and lunged at the blue wolf.

"Squeak!" The two figures collided, and the blue wolf was clearly at a disadvantage. The centipedes seized the opportunity and crawled all over its body.

"Awooo!" The blue wolf howled in agony, the insects causing him unbearable suffering. The next moment, his entire body shattered, turning into countless blue specks of light that dissipated into the air.

"The Gu technique is indeed domineering!" Kui Mulang felt a chill in his heart. He had summoned this green wolf with the help of the Star Palace, but he did not expect it to be so vulnerable to the attack of the poison Gu. It was hard to imagine how powerful the Gu techniques used by those witches were.

"Yellow-robed monster! I will remember the grudge of destroying the temple today. I will make you pay for this in blood one day!" The centipede demon did not pursue the attack. Instead, he transformed into a gust of demonic wind and left. As he left, the centipedes exploded and turned into wisps of black smoke, disappearing into the world.
