I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 73 Demon Body Refining Method

Nothing happened all night.

The next morning, Ye Kang was awakened by the system's notification sound.

【Ding】

[The Demon Furnace refining progress has been updated. Please check your inbox.]

"Finally done!"

Ye Kang sat up with a jolt, his face full of anticipation as he opened the panel.

This time, when he clicked on the furnace icon, a strange scene suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Inside a massive furnace, the catfish demon was tightly chained and suffering the torture of being roasted alive.

The intense heat caused the catfish demon's soul to sizzle, and the once enormous catfish was now as small as a loach, suffering endless torment for its crime of cannibalism.

Meanwhile, the progress bar for the catfish demon's soul has reached 100%.

With a thought, Ye Kang caused the progress bar to expand.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on successfully refining the catfish demon]

[Host has received refining rewards: Common demon body refining technique "Cat Demon Water Suppression Technique", half a demon blood crystal]

"Wow! Gold coins exploded!"

Ye Kang could not hide his joy and quickly clicked on the reward icon next to the furnace, which showed the reward he had just received.

"Can humans also use the Demon Body Refining Technique?"

[Ding! By infusing yourself with demon blood crystals, you can borrow demon bloodlines and forcibly suppress the demon body-refining technique onto your physical body.]

Ye Kang immediately understood.

The physical bodies of demons are naturally far stronger than those of humans.

If I could use demonic magic to refine my body, I would definitely terrify my opponent by fighting with a demonic physique!

Ordinary people naturally cannot learn demonic martial arts, but Ye Kang has a demonic furnace, which directly breaks down the barriers.

Without hesitation, he took out the demonic martial arts manual, which was then scanned and entered into the system.

【Ding】

[The Demon Body Refining Technique "Cat Demon Water Suppression Technique" has been recorded. Entry requires comprehension points. The host currently has 5000 comprehension points remaining, which is insufficient to comprehend it.]

"..."

Ye Kang remained silent for a moment, then immediately got dressed and went straight to the Qinglin Guard branch.

There's nothing I can do, I just lack the aptitude!

……

When he arrived at the pawnshop, the lowly clerks had already started working.

Upon seeing him, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile and say, "Lord Ye is very diligent, but you have already completed three tasks, which is enough to handle your duties. You can come again next month."

"How can that be! We are officials, and we should share the Emperor's burdens. How can we tolerate the evils of the world and do nothing about them!"

Ye Kang spoke with righteous indignation, then hurriedly ran to the task wall.

The shopkeeper stood there, stunned, unable to believe his ears.

"Are all my colleagues in the Imperial City Guard this passionate these days?"

He hurried over and saw Ye Kang frowning.

"Shopkeeper, which task do you think is the most sinful?"

"This……"

The shopkeeper scratched his head and casually tore off a wooden sign.

"If we're talking about something truly horrifying, it has to be the evil monks of Baizhi Temple. They practiced evil arts, captured people from several villages, and it's said that they all suffered inhuman torture, with none surviving."

"How could there be such wicked people! How can I, an official, sit idly by and do nothing?"

Ye Kang picked up the wooden sign and was about to leave.

The shopkeeper quickly stopped him, saying, "Sir, please wait a moment. The reward for this mission is so high, do you know why no one has accepted it?"

"Why?"

"It's all because Baizhi Temple is a den of dragons and tigers. The entire temple practices evil arts and has become quite powerful. In particular, the abbot, Monk Yuanguang, has already reached the sixth-grade innate strength. Apart from the garrison commander, there are really few masked men who dare to take him on."

"That's it..."

Ye Kang was overjoyed.

Being strong is great; you can kill opponents of higher levels and get a big loot.

The shopkeeper thought he was backing down, so he continued, "Please wait a moment, sir. There are still more than twenty masked men in Jinling City who are available, including some fifth-grade Xiantian experts. I originally intended to have them work together to eliminate this evil temple."

"Please make yourself at home, shopkeeper. I'll go and gather information now."

Ye Kang chuckled and turned to leave.

The shopkeeper's face twitched at his recklessness.

"As expected of an official from the capital, so reckless! Someone! Quickly summon the masked men!"

Immediately, a minor official issued a signal.

Soon, one masked man after another stepped into the pawnshop.

……

At the same time, Ye Kang had already ridden out of the city and headed straight for Baizhi Temple.

This temple was built in Canglu County, which was originally a good place with incense burning continuously.

However, since the current abbot took over, the temple's incense offerings have ceased, and evil people have frequently emerged.

Now, they don't even bother with acting anymore; they directly kidnap villagers to provide for the evil monks to practice their wicked arts.

Normally, a mission of this caliber would require either the garrison commander to personally intervene or a specialist from the Azure Scale Guard to handle it; ordinary masked men simply couldn't handle it.

However, the Azure Scale Guards were short-handed, and with the rampant demonic forces and several demons causing chaos at the same time, the garrison commander was overwhelmed and unable to spare any time, which gave Ye Kang the opportunity.

In his eyes, all the wicked monks in the temple were walking enlightened beings; how could he possibly give them up so easily?

As expected, he only knew to eat when he was hungry. When he lacked comprehension, Ye Kang was even more insane than he had imagined.

The horse galloped non-stop from dawn till dusk.

Ye Kang finally arrived in Canglu County and followed the map to the area where Baizhi Temple was located. The surrounding environment changed immediately.

No more farmers and fishermen toil here, and even traveling merchants have stopped here.

There was even a wooden sign placed on the official road.

"This place is dangerous; idlers should stay away. Interesting. I hope it won't disappoint me."

Ye Kang walked in unhurriedly. The village was in complete disarray.

Every house had its doors wide open, having suffered countless raids, and the entire village was nowhere to be seen, not even a dog.

A completely deserted village.

Ye Kang remained expressionless and continued forward.

After walking a few more miles, people finally appeared in the village ahead, but they were two monks dressed in robes.

They also saw Ye Kang riding over, and their faces lit up with joy.

"Someone is coming!"

"It's strange that people still dare to come here. It's worth it for us to have been wandering around at the foot of the mountain for so long."

The two men swaggered out and blocked Ye Kang's path.

One of them licked his lips and said, "Young man, are you looking for lodging? Our Baizhi Temple is a renowned temple far and wide, and it is the perfect place for you to stay."

Because Ye Kang was concealing his aura, the two people, who were only at the top-tier level, naturally couldn't tell and treated him as an ordinary person.

Ye Kang nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Masters. I was just looking for a place to rest."

"No need for that, just come with us. Baizhi Temple isn't far away, and we'll treat you to a good vegetarian meal tonight."

"So good."

Ye Kang remained calm and followed the two on horseback.

……

Meanwhile, outside Jinling City, a group of masked men rode out of the city under the cover of night, making a great show of force.

There was much discussion in Jinling City, with many people drawing parallels to the recent major incident at Baizhi Temple.

Only in such a dangerous place could so many masked men be mobilized at the same time.

I just don't know how many more people will die on this trip.

Many people sighed.

Only one person was beaming with joy.

Has the Blood-Clad Tower made a move?

"Ninth Master, Ye Kang left the city this morning, and the Blood Robe Tower has already caught up with him. Don't worry, Ninth Master, even if that guy manages to escape from Monk Yuanguang by chance, he will definitely not escape the Blood Robe Tower's encirclement and killing."

Inside Qingxin Pavilion, Wang Yintai was quite content, with a sense of having the overall situation under control.

For Ye Kang, this voluntary departure from the city was a golden opportunity.

As long as Ye Kang dies at Baizhi Temple, neither the Xie family nor the Qinglin Guard will be able to trace it back to Wang Yintai.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"
