"It should be him. There are records of him in the sect... It's a pity. This guy has been well-behaved for so many years, but he went astray and fell into the demonic path." Gu Daozi sighed, feeling somewhat regretful.

This green python was quite famous in the demon realm, and it had never taken a life on its cultivation path. Although it had killed many, in the eyes of demon hunters, it was considered a good demon.

They've followed the rules and regulations for thousands of years, so how could they suddenly have such a bad idea and fall into the path of demons?

"What's there to regret? He chose this path himself, so who can he blame?"

"Thirty thousand ghosts, how come he didn't die from being stuffed after swallowing them?"

"Don't flinch, hurry and chase after them. Demons who have fallen into the demonic path have lost all reason; who knows what trouble they might cause. Remember, when we surround them later, don't be careless; kill as many as you can..."

The green python, "forced" into the demonic path, fled hastily. Its eyes were gloomy, and its face was as cold as ice.

He finally experienced firsthand what it means for misfortune to strike out of the sky while he was sitting at home.

Luo Mang and Yin Huan's intimate interactions made him envious. He was upset and irritable all morning, and after finally calming down, he thought that if he and Luo Mang wanted to get along peacefully, one of them would have to give in.

He swallowed his pride and decided to go out to find Yin Huan, to back down first so that he could get along well with Luo Mang in the future.

After all, he and Luo Mang were surrounded by a silver ring. If they couldn't break the deadlock, the silver ring would be stuck in the middle, which would be very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a large group of demon hunters suddenly appear near the 8th building where he lived.

There was a huge group of them, at least thirty or forty by sight. The group of Taoist priests were circling around the eight buildings, seemingly digging for something in the ground. The Azure Python's alarm bells rang, and it immediately hid on the steps to see what the Taoist priests were doing.

The Taoist priest didn't make him wait long. Before long, he dug out several jade stones with rich spiritual energy from the ground.

As the jade was removed from the soil, a strange and chaotic atmosphere suddenly filled the peaceful neighborhood.

By this point, Qingmang understood everything... He knew that their whereabouts had been exposed.

The green python didn't want to get entangled with the demon hunter, so the moment the demonic aura appeared, it turned around and was about to leave Minghao Community.

However, the demon hunter's nose was sharper than a dog's, and without an array to conceal the demonic aura, the green python's whereabouts were immediately exposed.

And so, the two sides began a chase.

Not wanting to cause trouble for Silver Ring, the Green Python led a group of demon hunters, traversing Qing City. After an afternoon, he had indeed shaken off a large number of demon hunters.

But there were far too many demon hunters coming to Qingcheng today, so many that it alarmed the Green Python.

The green python shook off wave after wave of followers, but it couldn't shake off the few behind it no matter what it did. This was because those following it were all old fogies who hadn't left the mountain in a long time. Any one of them was a powerful figure in their own right. Even the head of the Heavenly Dao Sect—Gu Daozi—was among them.

The green python was surprised; it seriously suspected that Silver Ring's identity had been exposed. Otherwise, how could so many demon hunters suddenly appear in Qingcheng?

The green python leaped onto a building and looked back down.

Seeing Gu Daozi leading four old men in hot pursuit, his dark eyes narrowed, his thoughts racing. He turned and ran off into the suburbs without looking back.

Huo Fei had always wanted to confront the demon slayer.

If he wasn't mistaken, it wouldn't be long before Huo Fei would expose Luo Mang to the public. Since that was the case, he wouldn't wait any longer; he would take these demon hunters to negotiate with Huo Fei now.

Perfect timing! Those following him are all titans of the cultivation world, representing their respective factions, and their words carry considerable weight. If he can intimidate these old fogies, then the other demon hunters are no match for him.

As night deepened, in the outskirts of Qingcheng, six figures pursued each other at breakneck speed, leaving behind a trail of broken pieces and bent vegetation.

"He's fleeing out of the city. Everyone, keep up! We can't let him escape. If he gets away this time, it will be much harder to find him again." Gu Wenyi, the Supreme Elder of the Gan Tian Sect, one of the four major sects in the Xuanshu world, pondered for a moment, then quickened his pace.

As he pursued, Gu Wenyi flicked his longsword, unleashing Dao Yuan to strike the back of the green python.

A gust of sword wind swept from behind, and the green python's forehead furrowed. It leaped into the air, dodging the attack, and flew swiftly towards its target location without turning its head.

Gu Daozi stared intently at the dark figure ahead, his brows furrowed slightly, and said with a hint of doubt, "He doesn't have any demonic aura on him. Could we have made a mistake? Perhaps he hasn't fallen into the demonic path?"

After chasing for most of the day, everyone had already discovered that the Azure Python's demonic energy was thick and pure, unlike the cold and brutal nature of all fallen demons.

“Regardless of whether he has become a demon or not, the information from Yama is that the ghosts who came out of the underworld last night were indeed stopped outside Minghao Community,” Gu Wenyi said. “This matter is definitely related to him.”

"Let's catch up with and capture them first."

While Qingmang led a group of Taoist priests to meet up with Huo Fei and the others, the real show was already unfolding inside the villa on the other side.

The opulent villa's lobby was filled with terrified screams. A group of stylishly dressed men and women rushed frantically towards the villa's gate, their eyes filled with deep panic.

Behind them, a man, his lower body covered in blood and missing a leg, his face contorted in agony, staggered toward the gate. Behind him, a voluptuous woman held the trembling, thick leg in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth.

She seemed to be eating the most exquisite food in the world, her bright red, dripping tongue leisurely tracing the fangs in her mouth.
