What If I Can't Die? Chapter 30: 321-330, a 13 tzameti fanfic

321 Space Compression

The Void around Song Shi solidified, and a terrifying pressure descended. He was once again targeted by the Sky Demon Saint.

Song Shi looked at the Sky Demon Saint with a calm expression. "Are you a dog? Why are you still biting me?"

Thousand Faces, who was following behind, was dumbfounded. This guy actually dared to scold the Demon Saint?

Could it be that he didn't know about the word 'death'?

"This person… is really insane."

Princess Wuxi, who had escaped with the Spirit Guard, said with a strange expression.

"I admire his courage."

The Spirit Guard's face twitched.

Not only did their expressions change when they heard that, even Emperor Qian and everyone present in Great Qian were dumbfounded.

Originally, their hearts were heavy because of the birth of the Demon Saint, and they felt like they were about to be annihilated. Now, they were caught between laughter and tears by Song Shi's words.

"Is this the guy who caused chaos in the Langya Immortal Dao Meeting? He's quite bold. He still dares to provoke us at this time. Does he really think that this is an Immortal Dao Meeting protected by rules?"

When the experts from both sides were looking sideways at Song Shi, the Sky Demon Saint laughed instead.

"Interesting. A mere Demon Emperor dares to be so arrogant. Am I old or are you crazy?"

With a tap of his finger, a demonic light suddenly tore through the Void and pierced through Song Shi.

"His attack power is indeed strong. Not bad."

Song Shi looked satisfied. He was killed again and his corpse fell.

The Sky Demon Saint opened his mouth, and a powerful suction force was released. It wrapped around Song Shi's body, preparing to devour him in one bite.

Just as the food was about to enter his mouth, a strange scene appeared. Song Shi's body suddenly dissipated.

This time, even the Sky Demon Saint was shocked. "Another substitute?"

Swoosh!

Song Shi appeared at the side, unharmed.

He looked at the Sky Demon Saint indifferently. "You'd better behave yourself. When I let you out, you have to be obedient. Be a good dog and don't bite or bark."

Many people widened their eyes and felt like they were struck by lightning.

"Did I hear wrongly? A Nascent Soul cultivator actually called the Demon Saint a dog?"

"Crazy, this is crazy."

"There's actually such an arrogant person in this world. Even if he dies, what he has said is probably enough to leave a dark history much less what he did."

The group of people could not help but complain.

"Very good. It's been a long time since I've met someone like you who deserves to die."

The anger in the Sky Demon Saint's eyes erupted like a volcano.

Swoosh!

He instantly appeared beside Song Shi. He was so fast that Song Shi could only see an afterimage.

Seeing the other party slap him, Song Shi did not back down and punched him back.

The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation condensed on his fist, and his essence, qi, and spirit fused into one, erupting with the most powerful attack.

Boom!

Song Shi's strength shattered like a bubble. He was slapped to the ground, creating a sinkhole.

The terrifying impact caused the entire Imperial City to tremble. Song Shi, who had been heavily injured, realized that his arm was fractured and his joint was dislocated.

The force of the collision shattered his internal organs. Before he could spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, the Sky Demon Saint had already caught up.

"You have pretty tough bones."

With a cold laugh, the Sky Demon Saint crushed Song Shi's neck and lifted his head.

As Song Shi was crushed to death, he grinned and said, "Your dog bones are quite tough. my body is actually not your match."

"Still being stubborn?"

Demonic light erupted from the Sky Demon Saint's hand as the power of spatial severance erupted, slicing Song Shi's Nascent Soul into pieces.

After using his absolute suppressive power to kill Song Shi, the Sky Demon Saint was not in a hurry to eat it this time. He quietly stared at Song Shi's corpse.

Soon, his pupils constricted as he saw Song Shi dissipate with his own eyes. His eyes were deep. After observation, he did not find any clues.

This meant that this person's methods were extremely brilliant. It was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

After waiting for Song Shi to revive, the Sky Demon Saint asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"I'm your master. Are you willing to be my dog?"

Song Shi asked in return, provoking the other party to continue killing him.

"Don't think that you can go against me just because you have the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique."

The Sky Demon Saint grabbed at Song Shi, and a suppressive force descended, freezing Song Shi on the spot.

He didn't kill Song Shi again. Instead, he sealed Song Shi with the power of space and said indifferently, "Back then, when I couldn't kill that fellow either so I chose to seal him. You should enjoy this treatment today."

Song Shi was slightly shocked. This fellow's reaction was so fast. He had chosen to seal him for the third time to deal with him.

Even if he had Ragnarok to temporarily break free from Crowd Control, the other party was very fast. If they really fought, the other party would most likely catch his weakness and restrain him.

He would not use his final trump card for the time being.

With this in mind, Song Shi was not in a hurry to escape. Instead, he carefully sensed the surrounding power. This should be spatial power. As long as one was strong enough, they could control or break it.

"I can use the Void Sutra to cultivate. If I can rely on my own ability to break free from the spatial seal, there will be more room for me to turn around."

When Song Shi was forced to comprehend the Void Sutra, the Sky Demon Saint grabbed at Song Shi with a cold expression. The void twisted, and Song Shi seemed to shrink.

In the blink of an eye, Song Shi had become the size of a doll. In the end, he shrank into a bead and was casually put away.

"Spatial compression. This devil's ability is above average even in the Void Refinement Realm."

When Princess Wu Xi saw the Sky Demon Saint's methods, she thought of the description in the ancient books and her heart sank.

Emperor Qian did not make a move. He stared at the aggressive Sky Demon Saint. "You have already been suppressed for more than ten thousand years. This world has already declined even more. I suggest you go back. There's no need to fight to be a king in a remote place like ours."

"Do you have the right to say such things to me?"

The Sky Demon Saint walked over with a cold expression. "You're only fit to be used as food. Coincidentally, what I ate down there just now were all low-grade goods. A high-grade good like you should taste much better."

"Food?"

Emperor Qian muttered, "Today, I'll let you see how a person who's only worthy of being food can kill a Demon Saint like you."

"Form the battle formation and slay the demons!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soaring sound erupted from the surroundings.

"Yes!"

At some point in time, one hundred thousand troops had already gathered nearby. After Emperor Qian gave the order, the morale of the army soared. Dragon qi soared in all directions like rivers converging, fusing into a black dragon that reached the sky.

The power of the one hundred thousand-strong army converged into one, shaking the heavens and earth. Its majestic aura made the Sky Demon Saint, narrow his eyes slightly.

Emperor Qian landed on the dragon's head in a flash, and the black dragon instantly seemed to come alive. A pair of golden lights erupted from its eyes, and it immediately swam towards the Sky Demon Saint.

"No matter how many ants there are, they're still ants!"

The Sky Demon Saint was disdainful. His sharp nails shone with a demonic light as he raised his hand and slashed viciously. Space suddenly split into two.

The cracked space was even more terrifying than the sharpest spiritual sword. It directly cut open the black dragon above its head. Emperor Qian trembled violently and was instantly pushed back.

The black dragon formed by the fusion of the army trembled. When it was still a hundred feet away from the Sky Demon Saint, it collapsed and shattered into pieces.

"Pfft!"

Emperor Qian spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the injuries on his body. This situation was unimaginable.

Just now, he had saw that the Blood-Robed old ghost was fine even after provoking this fiend casually. Why couldn't he block even a single move from this fiend even after mobilizing the strength of a hundred thousand troops?

322 A Little OCD

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness. This Demon Saint was clearly weakened to the extreme, but the gap between him and this Demon Saint was still like a chasm.

There was only a major realm difference between the Soul Transformation realm and the Void Refinement realm. Was the difference so great that even the strength of an army of one hundred thousand could not make up for it?

Wu Xi's eyes were like the sun. She saw through the reason why the joint attack had failed.

"The quantitative change can't cover up the qualitative difference. Most importantly, the method he used to cut through space is not something that any power below the Void Refinement Realm can stop."

She sighed in her heart. How much power in this world could withstand the power of space? How many things could withstand the spatial cracks?

At least for now, no one could contend with him, not even a strange existence like Song Shi.

At the thought of this, she looked at the Sky Demon Saint's sleeve. This fellow had been rubbed away like a ball. She did not know if he could escape.

Compared to Wuxi who could still think calmly, many people in Great Qian were already scared out of their wits.

In the army, some people kept vomiting blood from the backlash. There were many people with fearful expressions, and their morale had already wavered.

On the other hand, the Sky Demon Cult's side had a complacent expression, as if they were holding their heads high. There were even some supporters who were fantasizing about destroying the entire Imperial City today and letting the Sky Demon Cult make the decision.

Facing the terrified gazes, the Sky Demon Saint laughed disdainfully. "Ants are ants. They are only worthy of becoming food."

He opened his mouth and sucked. The demonic light turned into a pitch-black mouth. The suction force formed a black whirlwind that swept many people into his mouth.

"Ah!"

"I don't want to be eaten!"

Those who were sucked in were all cultivators. They usually had some status, but at this moment, they were screaming in fear. Their souls were sucked out of their bodies, and they didn't have any pride left.

Just as the Sky Demon Saint was about to take advantage of these people being scared out of their wits to eat to his heart's content, a burst of flames suddenly erupted from his waist.

Amidst the flames, there was a faint sword hum echoing. A sharp, scorching power that was filled with explosive power suddenly appeared.

The Sky Demon Saint's expression changed drastically as disbelief appeared in his eyes. It was already too late to dodge, because the attack had exploded right beside his body.

A crack appeared in space. Song Shi stabbed out with his sword with all his might. His entire body transformed into a fire sword that was unstoppable.

Puchi!

The Sky Demon Saint's body trembled violently as his heart was pierced through by the flaming sword. Song Shi held a spirit sword and shot out from behind him covered in black blood. The Sword Qi and Supreme Yang True Fire in his body had already been exhausted.

Song Shi landed a thousand feet away. He was sweating profusely as he cursed, "This guy's Defense is really strong. I'm already so tired from a full-strength sneak attack."

His dissatisfaction was clear as day. At this moment, everyone was staring blankly at the severely injured Sky Demon Saint. The surroundings were strangely quiet.

If people in this world cursed, everyone would be cursing their heads off right now.

A second ago, the Sky Demon Saint had slashed open the Void with a single strike, breaking the combined attack of the two Qian Emperor cultivators. Demonic flames soared into the sky, dominating everything.

Yet at this moment, just a few minutes later, he was seriously injured by a low-level cultivator who had already been sealed!

No matter how long the people present had lived, they had never seen such a role reversal.

This was especially true for those who were about to be eaten by the Sky Demon Saint. As they survived the calamity, they all became extremely grateful to Song Shi.

"He actually injured the Demon Saint…."

Wu Xi's gaze landed on Song Shi and she could not look away for a moment.

Not to mention the others, even the Sky Demon Saint looked down at his chest in a daze. The hole was a little charred, and some purple-black blood was flowing out. It was as if he was mocking him for being injured by his prey.

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? My Fire Sword tastes good, right?"

Song Shi grinned smugly.

This time, he really had to show off. After all, he had crossed two major realms and injured this fellow despite being sealed.

"Let me explain the principle to you. My sword is very sharp and a sword with flames is even sharper. Hence it was easy to break through your demon body."

Song Shi deliberately postured.

The Sky Demon Saint's eyes were dark as he turned to glare fiercely at Song Shi. "Good, very good. I didn't expect you to be able to break through the spatial seal."

He wanted to rush out, but his body trembled and his aura suddenly began to weaken.

His pupils constricted as he realized that his condition was deteriorating.

He was originally at the end of his rope. Even though his subordinates had brought him strength to replenish and he had eaten a few Nascent Souls, he had already exhausted more than half of his strength from escaping to fighting this fellow.

This was especially true when he fought against the army of cultivators. It seemed like he had easily destroyed the joint attack, but in fact, he had spent the most energy. As a result, he did not have much strength to block this person's sneak attack just now.

At the end of the day, he was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He originally thought that he had already frightened these ants and could have a full meal, but he was actually interrupted by this person.

How could he not be angry?

The anger in his heart could not help but burn fiercely. For the first time, he erupted with biting cold killing intent.

"Aiyo, Don't be angry. Come and hit me."

Song Shi could tell that the Sky Demon Saint was not in a good state, so he continued to provoke him.

"Die for me."

The Sky Demon Saint flew into a rage out of humiliation. His physical body was injured, so he did not continue to attack in close combat. Instead, he swiped with his claw, and three spatial cracks appeared.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Song Shi was cut into three pieces, and even his Nascent Soul soul was cut into pieces by the spatial power.

After forcefully mobilizing his strength, the Sky Demon Saint's body swayed and his condition worsened.

Emperor Qian's eyes lit up as he saw an opportunity.

"Eight groups, listen up. Form the Asura Killing Formation!"

Killing intent instantly soared into the sky and gathered towards Emperor Qian. The world turned blood-red, as if it had turned into an Asura Battlefield.

"Senior Demon Saint!"

Demon Venerable Yu Hua's expression changed, "Should we retreat first?"

Before he could reply, flames appeared behind the Sky Demon Saint's back again. With a puff, a bloody hole appeared.

It turned out that Song Shi had chosen to revive behind the Sky Demon Saint and had taken the opportunity to launch another sneak attack.

This time, because the Sky Demon Saint's condition was even worse, it was much easier for Song Shi to penetrate his body.

"You!"

The Sky Demon Saint spat out a large mouthful of blood. He did not expect Song Shi to do it again.

"I'm a little obsessive-compulsive. Seeing that you're too lonely with only one bloody hole, I might as well give you another one."

Song Shi smiled and looked at the two bloody holes on the Sky Demon Saint's left and right. "Look, how symmetrical is it now? It's simply perfect."

Ignoring the Sky Demon Saint's unsightly expression, Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. "Where's your heart? Why didn't I destroy it no matter how hard I tried? Could it be in the middle?"

"Piss off!"

An angry shout exploded. Demonic flames danced beside Song Shi as a sharp claw with destructive power grabbed the top of his head.

Song Shi counterattacked. With a bang, he was only knocked back but was not injured.

The person who attacked was not the Sky Demon Saint who looked like he was about to die, but Demon Venerable Yu Hua. He appeared beside the Sky Demon Saint in a flash and stared at Song Shi in surprise.

He did not expect this person to be so strong that he could withstand his full-powered attack so easily. No wonder he could injure the Demon Saint.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, are you still a member of the Demonic Cults? How dare you hurt the Demon Saint!"

Faced with the question, Song Shi said calmly, "I'm sorry, but even if I'm from a Demonic Cult, I'm not from your Sky Demon Cult. I'm not interested in watching this Demon Saint eat people."

323 Role Reversal

"Haha, Blood-Robed old ghost, not bad."

Emperor Qian laughed loudly. Terrifying killing power gathered on the Spear in his hand, causing the sun and moon to change color. The power of heaven and earth boiled and the Void distorted continuously.

"Sky Demon Saint, so what if you escaped? Today will be your death day."

Amidst his laughter, Emperor Qian's eyes were filled with killing intent. He was prepared to personally get rid of this demon. At that time, he would definitely leave his legacy in history.

Heaven and earth shook. The morale of the Great Qian army soared as they prepared to kill the demon.

No one from Sky Demon Cult could laugh anymore, as their expressions froze.

Who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly? They had not been in the limelight for long, but they had already been almost defeated.

"Demon Saint, the situation is not good. We have to leave!"

Demon Venerable Yu Hua said in a deep voice. The Sky Demon Saint had just escaped and was not in a good state. He did not plan to stay long to begin with, and now that he had suffered a huge loss, he could not stay any longer.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, right? I'll remember you!"

The Sky Demon Saint covered his wound and glared at Song Shi with hatred. "I will definitely annihilate your entire clan, eat your flesh, and eat your soul!"

"Aiya, I'm so scared."

Song Shi patted his chest and said slyly, "You should use your other hand to cover the bloody hole on your right so that it's symmetrical."

The Sky Demon Saint's hair instantly stood on end. He had never suffered such humiliation before. If not for the fact that his condition was really too terrible, he really wanted to immediately crush this despicable human.

Boom!

In the sky, a blood-colored Spear had finished condensing and was charging at him with a rumbling sound.

The Sky Demon Saint's expression changed slightly. Just now, he had been able to break through the joint attack. Now, facing this even more powerful attack, he was already powerless.

"Let's go."

He tore through the Void and left without caring about anyone.

Demon Venerable Yu Hua followed closely behind. As for the others, they could only rely on their own abilities.

Boom!

The blood-colored Spear was huge. When it struck the spot where the two of them were, it shattered the space. The ground was like paper. After being stabbed, soil spread in all directions like a tsunami.

Song Shi retreated ten thousand feet with a single step to avoid the aftershock. He frowned as he looked at the attack.

"It's stronger than the black dragon they condensed just now. I guess they still has some trump cards."

The chaotic storm continued to spread. In the distance, some buildings that were originally shattered were directly reduced to dust. The Illuminate swept out, and a radius of ten thousand feet was razed to the ground!

From the sky, one could see that the city wall beside the Heavenly Prison had already disappeared, and a considerable portion of the Imperial City had been destroyed.

In the center of the energy storm, more cracks appeared in the cracked space after being hit. However, in the depths of the pitch-black Void, there were no longer two demons.

He did not give chase. Not to mention the Sky Demon Cult's powerhouses, he had just used Ragnarok to escape. If he chased after him, he would not be able to kill the Sky Demon Saint and would instead be trapped.

After the surrounding one hundred thousand soldiers released their power in this round of attacks, many people collapsed and sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Clearly, it was difficult for them to launch a third attack in a short period of time.

"Let's go!"

"It's over. We have to wait for the Demon Saint to recover."

The people of Sky Demon Cult were flustered and used all sorts of methods to escape, scattering like birds and beasts.

They were all in charge of their own escape and did not have any rules to follow. It looked rather chaotic.

In fact, most of the people from the Demonic Sect were cold-hearted. They would not help each other to escape. Instead, they would compete to see who could escape faster.

Those who were slow would naturally be at a disadvantage. No one would pity them even if they died.

Fortunately, the army of cultivators from Great Qian did not have much strength to chase after the Sky Demon Cult cultivators. It was difficult to effectively stop these people from leaving.

Swoosh!

A beam of light passed through and Emperor Qian landed in the center of the storm. His expression was not good.

He stared at the spatial rift. "He ran away, dammit!"

"He can easily tear open space and leave. You want to kill him with your stupid attack?"

Song Shi pursed his lips. If his Divine Teleportation Footwork is considered to be only borrowing the power of space, then what Sky Demon Saint was doing would be to directly use the power of space. Unless he had similar means, there was no way he could catch up.

At the very least, the powerful but inflexible attack just now was useless. It only destroyed more buildings.

He glanced at the broken ground and said, "You should be in charge of washing the ground."

Emperor Qian looked at Song Shi coldly. "Why are you here?"

He did not have the time to understand the situation and did not know that Song Shi was related to the Demon Saint's escape.

"You captured my maid. If I don't come over, wouldn't I be letting down your arrangements?"

Song Shi sneered. He really did not feel much guilt for releasing the Sky Demon Saint this time. If not for the schemes of the people from Great Qian, this would not have happened.

Ads by Pubfuture

At the very least, he would not feel guilty towards the Qian royal family. At most, they would feel embarrassed that they implicated the innocent.

Emperor Qian frowned and stared at Song Shi fearfully.

When he thought about how this person was unscathed from Demon Venerable Yu Hua's attack and could even sneak attack the Sky Demon Saint, he could no longer be as domineering as before.

This person's strength was probably not weaker than his and he had never been able to kill him. If he had a choice, he did not want to be enemies with him.

Just as he was about to change his words, a Spirit Guard flew over and reported, "Your Majesty, he was the one who helped Sky Demon Cult save Demon Saint."

"What!"

Emperor Qian's expression was ugly. "So you're the culprit?"

"It wasn't me. If I had saved him, would I have fought him? Injured him badly? Almost gave you a chance to finish him off?"

Song Shi directly denied it. He did not want to take the blame, so it was better to get rid of it.

"Nonsense. In the Heavenly Prison, you said that you would help Thousand Faces infiltrate the last level of the Heavenly Prison."

The Spirit Guard retorted.

"I didn't say that I'm only here to save my maid. Your internal management isn't strict enough and you're blaming me for letting Sky Demon Cult infiltrate?"

Song Shi sneered, refusing to admit it at all. He questioned the others, "Let me ask you, if I really helped the Sky Demon Saint escape, would I have nearly killed him?"

The surrounding people nodded and shook their heads. They were originally prepared to be angry that this Blood-Robed old ghost was actually an accomplice of the Sky Demon Cult, but now, they felt that it didn't seem like it.

After all, they had indeed seen the Sky Demon Saint almost fight to the death with their own eyes.

Especially the person that Song Shi had saved from the Sky Demon Saint's mouth, he was speaking up for him.

"Senior Blood Robes couldn't have saved the demon then want to kill him. Isn't that stupid?"

"In this matter, the Blood-Robed old ghost is definitely a good person."

"That's right. If it wasn't for him, many of us would have been eaten by that Demon Saint."

The Spirit Guard was infuriated when he heard that. How did this fellow reverse his role so fast?

"Enough, this is a misunderstanding. He's here to save the maidservant and just happened to bump into Sky Demon Cult rescuing that Demon Saint."

Princess Wu Xi walked over. "Not only that, he even helped us. If not for him severely injuring the Sky Demon Saint, that demon would most likely still be behaving atrociously here."

"Princess, you?" The Spirit Guard's expression changed. He did not expect Princess Wuxi to speak up for him.

Emperor Qian waved his hand and looked deeply at Song Shi. "You guys can leave first. This matter will end here. Since you have made a move at such a critical moment, Great Qian has announced that we will no longer be enemies with you."

Song Shi looked satisfied and praised, "As expected of the ruler of a country. You're still quite bold. Wuxi, you're even better."

Song Shi could fight the Qian, but he didn't want to be a traitor to the entire human race. So he had to distort the truth and he definitely had the right to do so.

324 Reincarnation of an Immortal, Immortal Lord

His words were basically submissive. He did not want to fight with Song Shi anymore. They were not in the mood to fight now. The greatest threat was still the Sky Demon Saint.

Once it recovered its strength and made a comeback, they would not have any way to deal with it for the time being.

At this moment, no one would benefit if they fought with the Blood-Robed old ghost.

Moreover, the Blood-Robed old ghost's abilities were strange. If they could cooperate, they might be able to have another capable helper next time.

Based on these considerations, he tacitly agreed with the truth that the other party had distorted and did not want to push this person to the opposite side.

"Emperor Qian is wise."

Song Shi was very satisfied and felt a sense of accomplishment.

In his opinion, using actions and words to successfully get rid of this giant blame was more interesting than leaving two bloody holes for the Sky Demon Saint.

Perhaps this was the true essence of cultivation. As long as he wanted to, he could change everything that was unfavorable to him.

What's the big deal about dumping the blame?

The Spirit Guard's expression changed. He was not stupid. After realizing these problems, he immediately retreated obediently.

Song Shi did not pursue the matter. He chuckled and said, "In the future, as long as you don't provoke me, everything will be fine. You can even ask me to kill that Demon Saint."

"If Young Master Song can really get rid of the Demon Saint, I, Wuxi, will marry you."

Princess Wu Xi took a step forward and spoke shockingly again.

She could tell that this person's ability was quite effective against the Sky Demon Saint. She was willing to sacrifice herself to win the other party's cooperation.

Song Shi looked at her from the corner of his eye and looked at her with admiration.

How many women were willing to sacrifice the rest of their lives in exchange for good of the people?

Since the other party dared to speak, it could be seen how bold and broad-minded she was.

He smiled. "I've never rejected a beautiful woman throwing herself at me. You should prepare to get married then."

"Then it's a deal. If Young Master can kill the Sky Demon Saint, you'll be an existence like a new Saint in this world. It's my honor to be able to marry you."

Wu Xi smiled brightly. Her eyes were clear and calm, with sincerity. She did not seem to be lying.

Emperor Qian did not say anything. At this moment, someone needed to ease the relationship between the two sides. Marriage was a common method.

Moreover, his daughter was not stupid enough to marry this old ghost for free. Instead, she had set an especially high condition.

Kill the Sky Demon Saint!

This was an extremely difficult task for him. It might even be impossible. Even if he refined Numinous treasures, there was not much hope.

He did not think that the Blood-Robed old ghost could do it. Although the other party had injured the Sky Demon Saint today, that was because the Sky Demon Saint was already at the end of his rope and had less than ten per cent of his strength left.

If the other party had recovered to his peak, no one in this world would have been able to kill him. It would be good enough if they could protect himself.

Because of this, he tacitly agreed to this agreement.

The others also thought that this was a joke. The Sky Demon Saint was an existence on the level of an ancient Saint. How could he be so easy to kill?

"Wuxi, I like it when you call me Young Master. Everyone else, remember to call me Young Master in the future. Don't f*cking call me Blood-Robed old ghost anymore. I'm the reincarnation of an immortal, not some bullsh*t Blood-Robed old ghost. I've already killed him."

Song Shi's words were shocking. He directly denied the identity that he had used for a long time.

"Reincarnation of an immortal?"

Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes. If these words were true, then this person's various unbelievable abilities were much more reasonable.

Everyone's expressions changed as they looked at Song Shi.

Previously, in their impression, he was a demon who committed all kinds of evil and used all kinds of methods. He was the kind of person who was hated by everyone.

Now that he had the identity of a reincarnated Immortal, he instantly felt much brighter and more majestic. It was as if all the rumors from before had become positive.

"So the Blood-Robed old ghost did not possess him but died in his hands."

"That's most likely the case. I've seen Blood-Robed old ghost before, but he definitely wasn't so bold."

"If it's really the Blood-Robed old ghost, he definitely wouldn't have attacked under the circumstances just now. Instead, he would have submitted to the Sky Demon Saint."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Song Shi's Subtlety noticed that everyone's opinions were changing. He secretly praised himself for being good at bullshitting.

He felt that if he seized the opportunity today, he would be able to change the negative effects that the Blood-Robed old ghost identity had brought to him. He struck while the iron was hot. "If you really want to address me respectfully, please call me Immortal Lord."

Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes. "This is your true identity, right?"

"You can think whatever you want. From now on, the title Blood-Robed old ghost will completely disappear. There will only be Young Master Song, Elder Song, and the Immortal Lord."

With his hands behind his back, Song Shi turned around and walked into the distance. The crowd behind him whispered to each other and gradually became rowdy.

"What do you mean? Why isn't he called Blood-Robed old ghost anymore?"

"Didn't you hear him say that he's the reincarnation of an immortal and not the Blood-Robed old ghost, so he gave himself a new title called Perfected Immortal Lord?"

Ads by Pubfuture

"This title is indeed much more domineering than the Blood-Robed old ghost. I would choose this too."

On the ruins, many cultivators watched Song Shi leave. Some admired him, while others had complicated expressions.

They knew that from today onwards, the names of Young Master Song and the Immortal Perfected Lord would resound throughout the continent and the Blood-Robed old ghost would become a thing of the past.

Song Shi left the Imperial City in a few steps and turned around to take a look. He muttered to himself, "Don't worry, the trouble that I've released will be resolved sooner or later. Sky Demon Saint, if you know what's good for you, scram back. If you want to wreak havoc in my hometown, I don't mind exhausting you to death."

With that said, Song Shi took out the flying ship and prepared to meet up with Bai Xiaoqin and the others.

On the way, he discovered a group of cultivators rushing to the Imperial City. When they saw the figure among them, they hurriedly stopped.

He used Divine Teleportation Footwork and arrived in front of the team in the blink of an eye.

"Who?"

The Zenith Heaven Sword King, who was traveling with all his might, sensed the danger. He shouted and stopped warily.

Seeing that it was Song Shi, some information echoed in his mind, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Not long ago, this person did not pose much of a threat to him, but now, facing him, his soul could not help but tremble.

"Don't be nervous. I don't mean any harm."

Song Shi shook his head. When he saw the Zenith Heaven Sword King, he felt a little emotional. Back in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range, this person's sword tore through the sky and felt exceptionally domineering and powerful.

Now, in such a short period of time, the other party was not even qualified to be his opponent.

He looked at a heroic woman with an otherworldly temperament in the team. "I'm here to return your Sword today."

As he spoke, he took out his spiritual sword and threw it to Chen Yiling, who was in a daze.

"You're giving it back to me?"

Chen Yiling felt that it was a little unreal. Back then, when her sword was snatched away by this guy, she thought that she would never be able to get it back.

"Your Sword has helped me a few times. It's quite useful. This is a reward for letting me use it."

Song Shi threw out a storage ring with some cultivation resources inside. "See you again."

With that, his figure suddenly disappeared. If not for the echoing voice, one would have thought that he had never appeared.

Chen Yiling held the storage ring and the spiritual sword in a daze. She felt the temperature on it and for some reason, she felt a little disappointed.

Zheng zheng!

The spiritual sword hummed softly. She did not know if it was reluctant to part with Song Shi, the temporary user, or comforting its true owner.

After confirming that Song Shi had left, the Zenith Heaven Sword King heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder how the Imperial City is. It's probably too late for us to rush back."

Suddenly, the token on his waist lit up and a message came. After receiving it, he looked up in shock. "The city is actually safe for the time being. Moreover, this person's name is Young Master Song and Immortal Perfected Lord. He's not the Blood-Robed old ghost?"

325 Soul Stone, Ethereal Sword God Technique

Outside White Snake Cave, two graceful women were taking a stroll.

One of them was voluptuous and charming, with a graceful figure. She was dressed in white and exuded an immortal aura and demonic qi. She was especially enchanting. She was the Demon Venerable Bai Yu'er.

One of them was tall and slender, and her eyes were like autumn water. She was also dressed in white, and her aura was cold and ethereal. She was the Ghost Spirit, Bai Xiaoqin.

"Sister Qin, stay with me in peace first. Young Master will definitely be fine. Don't worry too much."

Bai Yu'er held Bai Xiaoqin's hand and they looked like sisters. It was hard to imagine the huge difference in their cultivation levels.

"Sister Yu, is Elder staying here during this period of time?"

Bai Xiaoqin appeared curious, but she was actually testing the relationship between the two.

"He did live here for a while. Sister, don't think too much. Young Master probably felt that it was safer here, so he asked me to bring you over."

Just as Bai Yu'er said this, she raised her head in shock. A golden sword light tore through the sky. After realizing who it was, she smiled and said, "Young Master, you're back so soon?"

In reality, she had just left with Bai Xiaoqin when the Sky Demon Saint had escaped. The battle had not taken too much time.

"Hm, after I got away, I immediately went this way. I should have given you a Communication Talisman, so that there was no need to run around"

Song Shi's voice came from the sword beam. He landed on the ground and a handsome man walked out.

His temperament was masculine. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His muscles and bones carried divine light, making him look spiritual and otherworldly. His entire body seemed to have fused with heaven and earth, carrying a unique charm.

Bai Xiaoqin was dazzled. This was her man. He was too outstanding.

Song Shi opened his arms. "Xiaoqin, come and hug me."

The latter blushed and ran over lightly. She happily bumped into Song Shi's arms and said shyly, "Elder."

"You don't have to pretend anymore in the future. The way you address me as Elder is a little old-fashioned. Call me husband in the future."

Song Shi said. Previously, when he was in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he had used the identity of the Blood-Robed old ghost. In order to deceive others, he had asked Bai Xiaoqin to disguise herself as a maid, now there was no need for her to call him Elder in the future.

"Husband… Husband."

Bai Xiaoqin buried her head in Song Shi's arms. She was really embarrassed.

Song Shi lowered his head and looked at Bai Xiaoqin. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. This is how the first woman he liked should be like. Although she was not alive, he was very satisfied.

"My old man has good taste. Now that my identity can be revealed, let me bring my wife home."

Thinking of the old man who had arranged an engagement for him with Bai Xiaoqin, Song Shi wanted to visit him for the first time.

Bai Yu'er was envious and boldly asked, "Young Master, can I call you husband too?"

"Not yet. You're not qualified enough. When you get pregnant one day, I'll give you the status of a concubine."

Song Shi refused without hesitation. In his heart, Bai Yu'er was not even comparable to Liu Ruxue.

"I will definitely work hard."

Bai Yu'er was not angry. She knew that her situation was special, unlike Bai Xiaoqin who had her parents' orders and had an arranged marriage with Song Shi.

As long as Song Shi gave her a chance.

She changed the topic, "Young Master, I got the children to prepare good wine and spiritual fruits. Rest first."

"Yes, let's rest for half a day, then let's go home and visit our relatives."

Song Shi hugged Bai Xiaoqin's waist. The latter was as light as a feather. It was not that she was thin and weak, but her soul was very light.

He estimated that Bai Xiaoqin weighed less than half a tael and could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Husband, are we going back to Silken City?" Bai Xiaoqin leaned against Song Shi's chest and asked.

"Yes, you're my wife. I have to bring you to meet your family."

Song Shi nodded.

"What do I have to prepare?"

Bai Xiaoqin immediately became nervous.

"What's there to prepare? Go back and walk around. Just get to know my family."

Song Shi chuckled and came to the underground palace. The Snake Clan's maidservants had already prepared a table of fine wine and precious fruits. He casually grabbed a fruit and tasted it, feeling exceptionally satisfied.

If not for the Sky Demon Saint, he would already be able to do whatever he wanted in this world. Before the Sky Demon Saint recovered, he did not need to care too much. He could just play to his heart's content.

"Xiao Qin, I'll give you a piece of clothing."

Song Shi took out the Dust Avoiding Robe that he had drawn. These special Dharma artifacts were just right for Bai Xiaoqin's level.

For example, he was now using Nomological power to change his clothes. Ordinary Daoist robes could not withstand intense battles.

"Thank you, husband."

Bai Xiaoqin couldn't bear to put it on. She realized that the clothes could change color and style at will, so she immediately changed it into a white gauze dress, looking pure and beautiful.

While Song Shi was resting, he had nothing to do. He opened the lucky draw panel and drew the remaining two draws from the previous ten consecutive draws.

He still had dozens of lucky draw chances, but he did not use them casually. The main reason was that he did not lack anything.

Most importantly, he felt that the grade of the item he drew would increase with his strength. He had not drawn it after advancing to the Nascent Soul realm. He wanted to try and see if there was anything good.

'Ding… Congratulations on drawing 100 high-grade soul stones.

Ding… congratulations on drawing the Ethereal Sword God Technique!

The two items were not ordinary, so Song Shi checked them with interest.

Soul Stones: Special cultivation resources similar to spirit stones. They are produced in special worlds like the Netherworld Realm. They are specially used to cultivate the power of the soul.

Song Shi looked surprised.

This was the first time he had encountered a treasure that could be directly used to cultivate the soul. The power of the soul was Spiritual strength. Usually, when one's Spiritual strength was strong, other than devouring other people's souls, the only way was through Qi Refinement and Soul Transformation.

Now that he had additional resources to assist him, not to mention that it would be much easier for him to break through to the Soul Transformation realm, even Bai Xiaoqin could obtain benefits.

He looked at the next item.

Ethereal Sword God Technique: The method to become a god with sword intent. After cultivating it, one can condense sword intent into a sword soul. In the end, sword intent can become a god. A sword intent can destroy gods.

Song Shi was shocked. This was actually a sword intent cultivation method, and it was even systematic. It was unlike the inheritance left behind by the ancient Sword Sage who had only figured out this path.

"Good stuff. From now on, my three legs can walk together."

He was pleasantly surprised. Humans had essence, qi, and spirit. Essence represented the physique, and qi represented cultivation. The spirit was the soul and primordial spirit. It corresponded to the three paths of body refinement, Qi Refinement, and spirit refinement.

There were cultivation techniques like the Imperishable Golden Body and the Acalanātha Body for body tempering, the Pure Yang Scripture for Qi Refinement, and the Nine Yang Divine Technique for Essence Qi. These were all top cultivation techniques.

In comparison, the Yin Visualization, which cultivated the power of the soul, seemed to be a little backward at this moment. It was lacking a cultivation technique.

"It feels so good to cultivate with the soul stone."

Song Shi directly took out the item. The Ethereal Sword God Technique turned into information and surged into his mind. The Soul Stone was a purple-black stone with a mysterious aura.

When Bai Xiaoqin saw this, although she did not know what it was, she instinctively felt a desire for it.

"I'll give you ten. You can absorb them when you cultivate."

Song Shi immediately took out a portion for Bai Xiaoqin. This soul stone was high-grade and contained a majestic energy. It was enough for Bai Xiaoqin to use for a long time.

"Young Master, could this be a soul stone? I heard that it's extremely beneficial to Soul Transformation cultivators."

Bai Yu'er was knowledgeable and actually recognized it. The more she looked at it, the more shocked she became. "Isn't this thing almost extinct? Young Master can actually take out so many. It's too amazing."

326 Fraud

"Take 10 to cultivate too."

Song Shi gave out another ten as a reward for Bai Yu'er's work during this period.

"Thank you, Young Master."

Bai Yu'er accepted it happily and could not bear to part with it. "One of these things is very beneficial to Soul Transformation cultivators. Although I cultivate the demon body and don't value the primordial spirit, it's still very beneficial."

Song Shi nodded and returned his attention to the lottery.

"12 consecutive draws."

Song Shi was not in a hurry to cultivate the Ethereal Sword God Technique. Instead, he chose to draw again.

Ding… congratulations on drawing Floating Cloud Carpet!

"Ding… congratulations on drawing the Supreme Sword!"

"Ding… congratulations on drawing… supreme-grade spirit stone… Evil-Slaying Eye… Red Cloud Cauldron, Evergreen Pill, All Saints Medicine Manual, Kun Peng True Feather, Heavenly Yin Wood, Flowing Light Jade, Divine Transformation Technique, Black Tortoise Armor!"

A series of treasures were extracted. After Song Shi understood them, he was even more satisfied.

This time, many of them were treasures above the Spirit Grade or high-level spells and divine powers. He felt that he would not be able to use them all in a short period of time.

"There are too many good things, so I won't draw anymore."

Song Shi realized that he was no longer interested in the lottery. Perhaps this was the frustration of not being able to die.

He ate some food and began to cultivate.

A few days later, a white cloud flew up from the ground and merged with the clouds in the sky.

Song Shi lay on a special cushion that was as soft as a white cloud. He hugged two beauties with a look of enjoyment.

This was the floating cloud blanket he had just drawn. It was a special flying Dharma treasure. It looked like a white cloud and could float with the white cloud. It was quite comfortable to sit up.

Song Shi lay down comfortably all the way to the Qian Nation from the snake tribe's territory. He thought about how the old man seemed to be in Jinzhou which happened to be on his way, so he decided to go over and take a look.

"I forgot to ask Fourth Brother where they live. They should be in the state capital…"

When they arrived at Jinzhou, Song Shi remembered that he did not know the exact location. He came to the prefecture residence with the thought of walking around casually.

Song Shi reverted to his young master form and descended from the sky. The two girls followed beside him and they instantly became a beautiful 'sight'.

Passers-by looked at them enviously. Many of them were peeking at the two beauties. Song Shi was used to it. After entering the city, a prosperous scene greeted him.

The streets were filled with carriages, horses, and people. Many vendors were enthusiastically hawking their wares.

Bai Xiaoqin had not been to the city area for a long time. Her big eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Let's go around."

Song Shi walked to a stall and browsed through the goods curiously. He sized up a gadget and said, "Boss, are there any rich families with the surname Song in this city?"

Ads by Pubfuture

"Song?"

The boss sitting on the horse stroked his chin and pondered. "No, I've only heard of a big family with the surname Ye, Li, and Chen."

"No?"

Feeling a little regretful, Song Shi waved his hand at Bai Yu'er. "Go and investigate if there are any officials called Song Hu."

"Yes."

After Bai Yu'er answered, she silently disappeared into the crowd.

Song Shi and Bai Xiaoqin began to eat, drink, and have fun. Half a day later, when they arrived at a luxurious restaurant, Bai Yu'er returned.

"Young Master, we haven't found any officials with the surname Song."

"No?"

Song Shi frowned. "He probably changed locations. Let's get someone else to investigate later."

"However, I noticed that something strange happened in Jinzhou along the way."

Bai Yu'er casually said, "Recently, many people have mysteriously gone missing. It seems to be related to the Demon Cult."

When Song Shi heard this, he poured a glass of wine and drank it. "What do you think?"

"Basically, it's related to the Sky Demon Cult. Young Master, didn't you say that the Sky Demon Saint of the Sky Demon Cult had escaped? I suspect that their disappearance has something to do with this."

Bai Yu'er voiced her thoughts.

Song Shi frowned. If this matter involved the Sky Demon Saint, then it would really have something to do with him.

"Those who went missing are not ordinary people. At the very least, they are strong and there is no lack of cultivators that has disappeared."

Bai Yu'er sent another message.

"Yeah, I got it. I'll give you some other information. Investigate some more."

Song Shi was not in a hurry to express his stance. Whether this matter had anything to do with the Sky Demon Saint would have to wait and see.

"Yes, Young Master."

Bai Yu'er left again, making Bai Xiaoqin feel a little embarrassed. She did not do anything.

"Young Master, should I help investigate?"

Bai Xiaoqin took the initiative to volunteer. She did not want to just eat, drink, and have fun here. There was no value to her like this.

"You're not familiar with this place. You don't have to."

Song Shi shook his head. "I usually let her go. I don't need my main mistress to do such errands."

Bai Xiaoqin revealed a happy expression and gently refilled Song Shi's cup.

Song Shi looked outside and muttered in his heart, "I was the one who released that old fart. I can't feel at ease if he really eats people on a large scale."

This time, not long after, Bai Yu'er rushed back. "Young Master, bad news. The person you found happens to be among the missing people. He must be in a dangerous state now."

Ads by Pubfuture

"There's such a thing…"

Song Shi asked, "The missing person is called Song Wan?"

"Yes, after investigating according to the information Young Master gave me, I discovered that the Song Hu you're looking for is the Li family's live-in son-in-law."

Bai Yu'er smiled bitterly. "After he married over, he changed his surname and name to Li Gu. Therefore, when you first asked me to investigate officials with the surname Song, I didn't manage to find out. This information was still based on finding out about Song Wan and another woman called Song Jia that I realized he was the person Young Master was looking for."

When Song Shi heard this, he was basically certain that this group of people was the old man and the others who had left Jinzhou to take refuge. They had actually become mysterious missing people.

Thinking of this, Song Shi was speechless. Was he accidentally affecting his own people?

He accidentally released an old demon in the Imperial City and actually affected his father, who was thousands of miles away?

What a scam.

"Maybe it's just the Sky Demon Cult catching people for something. It might not have anything to do with the Sky Demon Saint."

Bai Yu'er comforted him.

"When did they get caught?"

Song Shi had no choice but to investigate.

"Yesterday. This just happened. The impact shouldn't be that big yet."

Bai Yu'er replied.

"Hehe, I just injured that guy and Sky Demon Cult is already secretly capturing people. I can't help but overthink."

Song Shi stood up. "I originally wanted to rest for a few days to save the family. Looks like I have to change my plans. Let's go and find them quickly. Otherwise, I won't be able to see them and I'll have to do something for them."

"Young Master, follow me. The Li family is in the east of the city."

Bai Yu'er knew that the matter was urgent and quickly led the way for Song Shi.

She had just understood the situation and did not know the specific clues, so she could only bring Song Shi to investigate from the beginning.

Fortunately, they were powerful. Once they dispersed their thoughts, they would be able to see all kinds of situations. Their investigation would not be too slow.

In the Li family's manor.

Song Shi's thoughts dispersed, and his eyes lit up. In a flash, he appeared in a small courtyard.

A young girl was washing clothes with red eyes. She was holding back her tears. The fat woman beside her cursed, "Cry, you only know how to cry. If you don't wash my clothes today, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Swoosh!

Song Shi appeared out of thin air and looked at the girl who was rubbing her clothes with her head lowered.

The fat woman, whose back was facing him, was shocked when she turned around. When she came back to her senses, she pointed at Song Shi. "Where did you come from?"

"You'd better be quiet. Don't offend Young Master."

Bai Yu'er used a bewitching technique to easily control her.

When the girl heard the voice, she looked up in a daze. When she saw Song Shi, she revealed a look of disbelief. Then, the tears that she had just controlled fell.

327 Do I Look Like a Freeloader?

"Seventh Brother."

The girl burst into tears. She got up and threw herself into Song Shi's arms, making a sobbing sound.

Song Shi could feel the girl's reliance on him. He sighed and raised his hand to comfort her. He did not say anything.

Bai Yu'er and Bai Xiaoqin both knew that this should be Song Shi's younger sister, and their hearts ached.

"Hmph, Young Master's sister is incomparably noble and yet she's actually being ordered around by a fat woman like you?"

Bai Yu'er coldly harrumphed, and a wave of cold air spread out. The fat woman was directly frozen into an ice cube, shattering with a cracking sound.

Song Bei, who was sobbing non-stop, was frightened. She calmed down and said with tears streaming down her face, "Seventh Brother, something happened to Father and Third Brother."

"I know."

Song Shi nodded. "Bei Bei, did your fourth brother not contact you?"

"Yes, Fourth Brother wants us to go back, but Third Brother said that Jinzhou is too chaotic and doesn't want us to go back. They didn't talk about it after a fight."

"Third Brother is really selfish. He asked you to stay because he wants you to help him support the Li family."

When Song Shi heard this, he understood why Song Hu had rejected him. As a son-in-law, his status in the Li family was definitely not high. If he did not have a single relative by his side, he could be bullied as he pleased.

"Second Sister said the same thing…"

Song Bei replied in a low voice and wiped his tears with his sleeve. "But no one would have thought that Jinzhou is not safe either. Since half a year ago, there have been people from the Demon Cult wreaking havoc. From time to time, people have gone missing. In the end, Father and the others were also affected. They couldn't be found after last night."

At this moment, hurried footsteps approached. A group of guards heard the commotion and came over. When they saw the fragments on the ground, their expressions changed drastically.

"How dare you, demon! How dare you cause trouble in the Li residence? Don't you know that I, Master Li, am the master of the Jinzhou Prefecture?"

The leading guard shouted. His voice was like thunder. He deliberately spread it out for others to hear so that he could inform others to deal with this group of unknown demons.

Song Shi glanced at Bai Yu'er. "Next time, if I don't speak, don't make decisions on your own. Even if you and I can casually wipe out the Li family, there's no need to kill someone just because of a disagreement."

"Young Master, I was too impulsive."

Bai Yu'er hurriedly apologized.

In her opinion, these humans were just ants. She could kill them if she wanted to, let alone have a reason.

However, she also understood that Song Shi was a human after all. He was not someone who killed indiscriminately. Most importantly, she had violated Song Shi's authority and killed him without his permission.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The guards who came over drew their sabers one after another. Genuine Qi surged from their bodies. They were all martial artists. The leader of the small group was even at the Connate Realm. From this, one could tell how strong the Li family was.

Song Bei's face turned pale as he grabbed Song Shi's arm nervously. "Seventh Brother, what should we do? They're very powerful. I heard that there's a Golden Core Martial King guarding them."

"Golden Core?"

Song Shi scoffed. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator came, he could easily kill them with his current strength, let alone a Golden Core cultivator.

These people were no different from ants in front of him.

However, he was not interested in stepping on ants for no reason. He glanced at the guard who had drawn his saber. "Who asked my sister to wash dirty clothes?"

"I asked her to wash it. Why? You ate my Li family's food, used my Li family's things, and owe my Li family. What's the big deal about washing some clothes?"

A young woman in luxurious clothes walked over and looked coldly at Song Shi's back, "Are all you Song family members so heartless? Song Hu provoked a flirtatious fox outside. It's already good enough that I didn't kill him!"

Song Shi frowned as resentment surged towards him. "I'm not interested in your matters. Tell me where they went missing."

The noble lady placed her hands on her hips. "Why should I tell you? That Song fellow owes my Li family a huge sum of resources and favors. Now that he has provoked that slut, his whereabouts are unknown. If you want to know, return the resources and favors first!"

Her expression was mocking. "This brat still wants to pay for my Li family's work. I think she won't be able to pay for it even if she washes dirty clothes for the rest of her life."

Song Shi glanced at Song Bei. "Girl, you're so silly. How can you want to return such a thing?"

"Bei Bei don't know where to go. Moreover… Moreover, she has her niece, Yaya, to take care of. Bei Bei has nowhere to go."

Song Bei pinched the corner of his clothes and said timidly.

"Niece?"

Song Shi was stunned. "That guy had a child with someone outside?"

If that was the case, he couldn't blame her for being sarcastic. It was good that she didn't kill him.

"Bullshit, he wouldn't dare!"

Song Hu's wife denied Song Shi's guess herself.

This surprised Song Shi. "Then whose child is this Yaya?"

"Second Sister's."

Song Bei blinked her big eyes and said, "Because she took Second Sister's surname, they asked me to call her niece."

"…"

Song Shi forgot about this woman. Indeed, she could have gotten married.

"Second Sister and Father went to investigate Third Brother's disappearance and also disappeared. Yaya is still young, and the war outside is chaotic. Bei Bei doesn't have much ability, so she doesn't dare to bring her around."

Song Bei looked much more sensible than before. Song Shi's heart ached when he heard that.

"Bei Bei, you're good."

Ads by Pubfuture

Bai Xiaoqin praised Bei Bei from the side.

"Alright, I understand."

Song Shi patted the girl's shoulder. In that case, the Li family was not in the wrong. Bai Yu'er was indeed a little ruthless.

He turned to look at his wife. "She won't work for you anymore. I'll take them away."

When she saw Song Shi from the front, her pupils dilated as she revealed a stunned expression.

This young master was actually so handsome that she could not take her eyes off him.

She sized up Song Shi greedily and liked this handsome young master more and more. She laughed delicately. "You're Song Hu's younger brother, right? You're more handsome than your brother. As the saying goes, brothers pay each other's debts. If you're willing to marry into my Li family and marry me, you can forget about what he owes."

Her eyes were like limpid autumn waters, constantly moving on Song Shi's body. She was full of smiles, clearly interested in Song Shi.

In fact, this was just because Song Shi's cultivation level was high. His body had been cleansed and transformed by the Spirit Qi over and over again. He could be said to be a peerless handsome man. Furthermore, he had a Connate Dao Body and had an otherworldly aura. There were really not many women who did not like him.

Song Shi's face darkened. "Bullsh*t what brother pays his debt. And do I look like a freeloader?"

The madam pursed her lips and smiled. "I can get married to you too."

"Hmph, where did this love-struck fool come from? Are you even worthy of marrying my Young Master?"

Bai Yu'er's face darkened. "You really don't know what's good for you. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"

"You!"

The woman's face darkened. "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so noisy?"

"You want to die?"

Bai Yu'er's thin brows furrowed. Just a trace of her aura was enough to cause the surrounding temperature to drop. The noble lady and the guards felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were in the middle of winter.

The most terrifying thing was the bone-chilling cold that penetrated straight into their souls. It terrified them and made them unable to move for a moment.

This time, Bai Yu'er did not kill anyone casually. She only intimidated the Li family.

Song Shi stared at the rich lady coldly. "I'm not interested in repaying Song Hu's debt. I'll take Song Bei away. I won't have anything to do with you guys anymore."

He took Song Bei's hand. "Let's go."

"Seventh Brother, there's still Ya Ya."

Song Bei reminded.

"You take her too. We're leaving now."

Song Shi stopped and let go of his sister.

The latter turned around and jogged to a small dilapidated house. Soon, she carried a small cloth bag and walked out with a two-year-old girl.

When Song Shi saw the girl's eyebrows, he felt that they were somewhat familiar. He frowned and asked, "Who's her father?"

328 Half-Demon, Half-Human

Bai Yu'er retracted her Aura. The noble lady and the others could finally vent their anger. All of them were sweating profusely and were a little exhausted.

When the rich lady heard Song Shi's question, she said indignantly, "Hmph, she's just a bastard. How can she have a father?"

This further confirmed Song Shi's thoughts. He did not say anything else and looked at the girl's pure eyes. "Let's go out first. Yu'er, ask about the ins and outs of their disappearance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and instantly disappeared with the two women and the girl.

Such a superb scene made the woman widen her eyes. "So this young master is an expert. It's too perfect."

She was also a cultivator and could tell that Song Shi's strength was definitely not simple.

Bai Yu'er turned around and looked over. Everyone felt that a pair of huge snake eyes had appeared and they would fall into a hallucination in the future.

In the restaurant's private room, purple smoke curled up from the incense burner, bringing with it a calming aura.

On the bed, a two or three-year-old girl was curled up and sleeping soundly. Song Bei covered Yaya with a blanket and tiptoed out of the room.

Looking at Song Shi, who was standing by the railing, she revealed a relieved smile. Among her brothers, she liked Seventh Brother the most, but they rarely got together.

"Why didn't she go to Chang Sunji's family?"

Song Shi said.

"She did, but she was kicked out because she wasn't pregnant with a boy."

Song Bei sighed.

Preferring boys over girls…

Song Shi mocked, "It also means that the Virtuous Phoenix King doesn't care much about this profligate son. No wonder he was sent to Jinzhou back then."

"En, I heard from Father that the Virtuous Phoenix King has more than thirty sons. That Chang Sunji's mother died long ago, and no one can say anything. In addition, Yaya is a girl, so Second Sister was kicked out of the house right after she went. They didn't acknowledge this child at all, so she could only give her the surname Song."

Song Bei smiled bitterly. Her not-so-mature face revealed a complicated expression that only adults had. It was obvious that he had experienced all kinds of worldly wisdom over the years.

"She didn't find another man?" Song Shi was curious. With Song Jia's qualities, it shouldn't be difficult for her to find a man to take over.

"She did, but they were unlucky. They all died in the conflict between Jinzhou and the Demonic Sect."

"…"

Song Shi was caught between laughter and tears. "She has good taste. As for you, back then, she wanted to feed you to evil spirits. Didn't you hate her? Why did you help her take care of her child?"

"I don't hate you. Bei Bei was the most useless at that time. If I let the evil spirit eat me and let you guys live, Bei Bei will be very happy in the underworld."

Song Bei's eyes lit up as she spoke seriously.

"What a silly child."

Song Shi stroked Song Bei's head helplessly. "You're just like your mother. You're obedient. Even if something happens, you'll take responsibility for it."

Song Bei thought of her mother. "Mother said that a family is still a family. We have to understand each other to be harmonious."

Song Shi felt that he had been taught a lesson by this girl. He was very unhappy with Song Jia and could not stand people like Song Hai who caused trouble and did not take responsibility.

He did not discourage Song Bei. It was a good thing that this girl had her own thoughts.

"Well said, but one has to be selfish. Not everyone can forgive you."

Song Shi stroked his sister's hair. "Especially you. Sometimes, you'll be at a disadvantage if you're too kind. Also, remember, you're very useful."

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Brother."

Song Bei smiled brightly.

Without saying anything else, Song Shi looked outside and thought about the shattered Song family. Perhaps this girl was one of the few human treasure in the Song family.

"Come, watch the sunset with me for a while."

Song Shi put his arm around Song Bei's shoulder. The latter obediently leaned against him and enjoyed this moment of rare peace.

He checked Song Bei's situation. This girl did not have a spiritual root, but she was practicing martial arts. However, she had just entered the Beginner realm. This ability could only be considered to strengthen her body. She would not even be able too deal with beasts at all.

"This girl is too kind. Should I push her onto the path of cultivation?"

Song Shi pondered. He had a lot of treasures. Even if Song Bei practiced martial arts, he could help her improve very quickly.

However, the stronger one was, the more complicated the things one would come into contact with. Without enough experience, improving might not be a good thing.

"Husband, I've prepared some food. Sister Bei Bei must be hungry. Why don't we let her eat some?"

Bai Xiaoqin came over silently and spoke softly.

"You're still the most meticulous. I've already abstained from eating. It's fine if I don't eat. Bei Bei is still growing. She can't go hungry."

Song Shi patted his head. "Let's go, Bei Bei. Let's eat first."

A moment later, Song Shi's heart ached when he saw Bei Bei eating and drinking in big mouthfuls.

He was living a good life, but his sister, who was precious to him, was suffering here. It was a stark contrast.

"Bei Bei, eat slowly. There's more."

Bai Xiaoqin handed him a glass of water and was a little angry. "The Li family doesn't even give you enough food?"

"No, it's just that these are too delicious." Song Bei was a little embarrassed.

Song Shi turned around and walked out of the room. A white figure landed beside him.

"How's the situation?"

"I've asked clearly. It was Jinzhou who was secretly cooperating with the Demonic Sects. Song Hu was bewitched by a woman from the Sky Demon Cult and left the city without a trace. Later, your father and the others who went to investigate also never returned."

Bai Yu'er told him the information she didn't know before, "The location of the accident was an abandoned mine outside the city. Now that it has become a forbidden area, ordinary people don't dare to approach it. The cultivators of the Jin Province have been at a disadvantage a few times, so they don't dare to act rashly."

"I'll go take a look. Stay here and guard them."

Song Shi was afraid that it was some scheme against him. After all, in the Great Qian Imperial City, he had revealed a portion of his identity. At least Princess Wuxi and the others knew about his relationship with the Song family.

"Yes, Young Master, be careful. This is the map of Jinzhou."

Bai Yu'er handed him a silk scroll.

"You're very diligent."

Song Shi nodded and left with the scroll.

Jinzhou was located in a mountainous area with many mines, hence its name.

This abandoned mine was hundreds of miles away from the Jinzhou Prefecture. When he arrived at the mine, the sky was already dark. The huge mines between the mountains looked dark. When the mountain wind blew, there was a strange whining sound, like the low cries of evil spirits.

Song Shi's thoughts quickly swept across. He passed through a portion of the mine, but when he went deeper, he was stopped by the Array Formation Power.

"There's indeed something strange!"

Ripples appeared in the space under his feet. In a flash, he landed outside the largest mine and calmly walked in.

A faint stench wafted out with the wind. Song Shi's eyes lit up as the darkness in the cave was penetrated.

Bam.

Golden flames emerged and floated around his body, forming a circle. Under the light, white bones appeared under his feet.

Song Shi's Subtlety noticed that there were teeth marks on the white bones, as if they had been bitten by wild beasts.

"Howl…"

After a few steps, the light he released attracted something in the darkness. A black shadow opened its bloody mouth and pounced.

With a thought from Song Shi, the latter froze in midair but maintained his pouncing posture.

However, Song Shi revealed a look of surprise. The person who attacked him was not a human or a Vicious beast, but a monster with a human body and a bear head.

This monster's lower body was similar to a human's, but its entire body was covered in black fur. There was a scar on its bear head, cutting off half of its face and one of its ears. It looked especially ferocious.

"Half-demon, half-human?"

Song Shi frowned. Could his father and the rest have been pulled to create such a monster?

329 Demon Seed

Thinking of his father becoming a mutant with a pig's head or a dog's head, Song Shi's face could not help but twitch.

That scene was too bizarre.

"ROAR!"

The bear-headed man growled, his eyes filled with madness and tyranny. Even though he was controlled by the Song Shi's Crowd Control, he continued to growl without any rationality.

The fire lit up.

Puff!

The bear-headed man turned into ashes before he could even scream.

"Sky Demon Cult, oh Sky Demon Cult, you guys are making me hate you more and more."

Song Shi muttered as his body landed on the ground and he accelerated into the mine.

There were a large number of tunnels in the mine. They went down layer by layer and were complicated.

In the tunnels of the mine, half-human, half-demon monsters lurked. Some had snake heads and human bodies, some had wolf heads and human bodies, and there were many types. Or the other way around, they had human heads and beast bodies, or most of them looked like wild beasts.

Without exception, these monsters were incomparably ferocious and had zero rationality. They were even worse than wild beasts.

Wild beasts at least knew how to be afraid and would not foolishly provoke existences stronger than them. However, these monsters were filled with only the beastly intent to attack. They rushed over one by one like moths attracted to a flame and turned into ashes under the Supreme Yang True Fire.

"During this period of cultivation, my Supreme Yang True Fire has already begun to show its power. Yet these monsters still rush over as if it's nothing. No wonder the Jinzhou cultivators are at a disadvantage here."

Seeing the monsters charging at him without any regard for their lives, Song Shi deeply understood how dangerous these things were.

The bold were afraid of the stupid, and the stupid were afraid of those who did not care about their lives. These monsters were comparable to him in terms of recklessness. And even he was not so crazy.

"If these guys listen to my command, they will be the best kind of cannon fodder…"

A light flashed in Song Shi's eyes as he stopped in front of a huge cave.

It was pitch-black inside. Under the illumination of the Supreme Yang True Fire, dense shadows appeared.

These shadows moved and looked up, revealing pairs of beastly eyes that growled at him.

"Another reckless fellow!"

A sinister sneer came from the darkness and echoed in the mine.

"That person quite confident. He is not even afraid of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like me. Looks like this is a nest that has been existing for some time."

Song Shi was deep in thought.

PIAK

He snapped his fingers, and a ball of fire flew out. It was quickly blocked by a layer of array formation barrier that was like a layer of water, producing a muffled bang.

The glaring light illuminated the entire pit. Many monsters were not used to this light and growled in frustration. However, they seemed to be controlled by something and did not rush out of the pit.

Song Shi quickly scanned the area and did not find any normal people. These should all be finished products…

"You're the only cultivator from Jinzhou here? You're quite bold!"

The voice in the dark was also investigating Song Shi's situation. Other than the fact that Song Shi was enveloped by the Supreme Yang True Fire and could not be seen, he was certain that only one Nascent Soul had come.

He chuckled, "I'll let you taste the cold underground Yin wind first!"

In the next moment, a strange gray wind blew out with a whistling sound. In the end, apart from making the flames on Song Shi's body burn even more vigorously, it did not blow him away at all.

Song Shi started to break through the Array Formation and entered the pit. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of a group of men in black behind the monsters.

"Finally, a few normal people."

Song Shi raised his hand and grabbed as fire appeared in his palms, forming a powerful Nomological power domain that enveloped this group of people.

This was a method he had learned from the Sky Demon Saint. Although he could not use spatial power, he had a lot of Nomological power and could achieve a similar effect.

"Ah!"

The scorching Nomological power of the Supreme Nine Yang instantly placed these people in a sea of flames. A few Qi Refinement cultivators who were a step slower in defending themselves were directly burned to ashes. They struggled for a moment before turning to ashes.

The others were shocked and afraid. They used all kinds of methods to block the Nine Yang Nomological power to survive.

The Golden Core cultivator who had been hiding and speaking looked at Song Shi in shock. "How did you come in so quickly? This is the Earth Demonic Yin Gathering Array. It shouldn't be broken so easily."

This person was dressed in green and looked like a middle-aged man. He was short and stout. He held a bronze bell Dharma treasures in his hand and released a green-black bell-shaped barrier to block the flames.

He was a little flustered. According to the past situation, these invaders would be blocked outside the Array Formation and continuously consumed by the mutants he mobilized. How could this person charge in in just a few breaths?

"How dare a mere Golden Core cultivator like you act so arrogantly in front of me with a trashy fifth-grade Array Formation?"

Song Shi punched through the air. Nine Yang Nomological powers condensed into a fireball and poured onto the bronze bell with a bang.

Clang! Crack!

As soon as the bell rang, it was cracked by the punch. The middle-aged man in green exclaimed, "My Dharma treasure!"

Boom!

After the bronze bell shattered, he was smashed to the ground by Song Shi's Fire Fist. The hard rocks shattered, and at the same time, his body.

The others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled in fear. None of them could escape even if they wanted to. Destructive flames were everywhere.

"Where are the guys you arrested?"

Song Shi asked coldly as the flames released were even more intense, "Whoever leads the way can live."

The group of people looked hesitant. It was unknown if they did not dare to betray him or if they were worried that Song Shi would not keep his promise.

Song Shi flicked his finger, and nine beams of fire shot out. Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

The nine people's defense were broken and they died on the spot.

"One last chance."

Song Shi did not show any mercy. These guys were all extremely vicious people. If he did not use evil to suppress evil, he would waste more time today.

"I'll show you the way!"

Someone couldn't take it anymore and was the first to speak. The others were about to follow.

Song Shi waved his hand, and with a loud bang, everyone who did not speak was wiped out.

The only living person was trembling. His face was pale and he almost peed his pants.

"Howl…"

The monsters that had not moved before seemed to have been unshackled. Their eyes were bloodshot as they turned to look at Song Shi.

"What are you looking at?"

Song Shi slapped back and released the scorching Supreme Yang True Fire. With a loud bang, the entire pit was submerged in the sea of fire.

The monsters that had yet to attack screamed and melted under the high temperature. Then, they evaporated. None of them could withstand it.

The entire underground space shook violently and many tunnels collapsed from the explosion.

Song Shi carried the only survivor and passed through the sea of fire. He was like a god in the fire, unaffected.

"Senior, the living people we captured are classified and separated into the 'Female' pit and the 'Male' pit."

The captured Sky Demon Cult minion pointed in the direction with difficulty and explained, "There's some distance between the two sides and here. We're just guarding the entrance here."

Song Shi asked why no other powerhouses came over after the explosion and asked about other matters, "Did you capture living people to create these?"

"Yes and no."

The minion was conflicted. "I should say that I nurture them. Sometimes, I feed them. Basically, the women are used to nurture demonic seeds. While the men mostly treated as food. Senior, I'm just a guard. I didn't have a part to play in this."

Song Shi frowned. With just a few sentences, he could infer what these guys were doing.

He casually chose a 'Male' pit and asked, "What's a demon seed? Are they the so-called mutants?"

"No, mutants are people with the bloodline of demon beasts. A demon seed is a demon seed. I've never seen it before either."

"Not the ones just now?"

Song Shi was stunned. Why did he feel like these guys were conducting cross-species hybridization experiments?

330 A Contract Of Darkness

"No. These are Beast Demons. They have no sense or rationality. I've heard they're considered failures."

The minion shook his head. "There are many types according to each of their bloodlines. But this is based on what I've heard of only."

"There are quite a number of freaks in Sky Demon Cult…"

Song Shi muttered to himself. The Heavenly Ghost Sect played with ghosts, which meant that after they died, they would merge with beast souls and turn into things like cow heads and horse faces. But the Sky Demon Cult actually did such a taboo thing, and he was getting more and more glad that he did not join them.

Thinking of this, he sped up.

Although his father and the others hadn't been captured for long, since they might be treated as food, he had to find them early. He didn't want to run over to save them and end up saving a pile of excrement.

"Ow!"

Monsters came along the way. They were much stronger than the ones he had encountered previously. To Song Shi, it was no different. He pushed his way through.

The commotion here was already known by the other side. Before Song Shi arrived, many figures landed and blocked the way, staring coldly at Song Shi.

Among these people, there was no lack of people with beast-like gazes. They more or less carried the characteristics of beasts, such as long tongues, beast tails, beast ears, and so on.

Unlike the slender cultivators, these mutants had strange auras. They were more like wild beasts than humans.

"Who are you? Tell me your name."

Some of the mutants had unfriendly expressions.

"Don't be rude. This is the new Guardian of our sect."

A leisurely voice sounded.

Swoosh!

A cultivator emitting green light suddenly landed. He was so fast that even Song Shi was surprised.

This person's movement technique was so powerful that even he admitted that he was inferior.

Perhaps in the open space outside, he could compare with it with Divine Teleportation Footwork, but his agility was still far inferior.

This person gave him the feeling that he was blending into the wind, elegant and natural.

The other party's cultivation was also higher than his, having reached late-Nascent Soul stage. He was definitely not simple in the Sky Demon Cult and had a noble status.

"Who are you?"

Song Shi said coldly, "I've never seen you before."

"Perfected Immortal Lord Song's name resounds throughout Great Qian. Even if I haven't seen you with my own eyes, I've heard of you."

The figure emitting green light retracted his Nomological power and revealed his appearance. He was a man wearing a green brocade robe.

This person had a slender figure and a short beard. He was handsome and was completely different from the beastly figures around him. Instead, he looked like a carefree swordsman.

His words shocked the other aggressive people.

Song Shi's gaze froze. "You knew I would come?"

He became vigilant. If this was really a trap targeted at him, it would be difficult to save him. Even if he was not afraid of death, the other party could still use his family to threaten him.

"I did, but I didn't expect Guardian Song to arrive so quickly."

The man in green smiled and cupped his fists. "Let me introduce myself. I'm a Guardian of the Sky Demon Cult, Qing Yu. I've admired Young Master Song for a long time. Now that I've seen you today, you're far more heroic and extraordinary than the rumors say."

Song Shi scoffed, "Interesting. I killed one of your Sky Demon Cult's Guardian and heavily injured the Sky Demon Saint that your Sky Demon Cult painstakingly saved, yet you still want me to be your Guardian?"

"Young Master Song, our Sky Demon Cult only cares about ability. Even if you have enmity with some of our cult members, it won't hinder our cooperation."

Qing Yu had a kind expression on his face. "In my opinion, since you were able to severely injure the Sky Demon Saint, your future is limitless. Perhaps it's not inferior to his."

Song Shi sneered. "I'm not interested. I'm only here to look for someone today. Are you going to hand him over obediently, or do you want me to do it?"

Seeing the Sky Demon Cult doing this with his own eyes, Song Shi was even more unwilling to interact with these people, so how could he be willing to be a Guardian in there?

Qing Yu put down his hand and said meaningfully, "Young Master Song, who are you referring to? There are many people here."

"Your movement technique is very good, so you must be very fast. You can often fool people. Should we try and see if I can kill you?"

Song Shi's eyes were cold.

"I'm not Young Master Song's match. Young Master Song is an expert who can withstand a strike from the Sect Master. He has remarkable abilities. Qing Yu must admit defeat."

Qing Yu hurriedly waved his hand. "As for the people Young Master Song found, they're actually very safe. We're just inviting them over as guests."

This weak and threatening sentence made Song Shi frown, "What do you want to do? Be more concise."

"Young Master Song, please be our Guardian. That way, we'll be on the same side."

Qing Yu smiled. "If Young Master Song is really unwilling, we also hope that Young Master Song will not stop our Sky Demon Cult from doing things."

"No problem."

Song Shi readily agreed. Now that he had something on him, he could only compromise first and see what happened when the time came.

"Words are useless. We have to sign a contract."

Qing Yu shook his head. "After all, there are too many people in this world who go back on their words."

"Sure."

Song Shi had no objections.

Qing Yu looked surprised. "The contract I'm talking about is even stricter than the oaths I usually make. If I really violate it, your soul will dissipate."

"Oh."

Song Shi's interest was piqued, but his expression did not change, "As long as I don't violate the contract, it's just a piece of scrap paper."

"It seems that Young Master Song is very confident in himself. However, I still suggest that Young Master join us. This way, there will be fewer restrictions on the contract."

Qing Yu realized that he could not see through this person. Did he not know how powerful the binding effect of the contract was, or was he really confident?

Song Shi's gaze wavered. "What benefits?"

"After becoming a Guardian, other than the Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, and Guardians of the same level, you can command anyone else. As long as they don't betray our sect, they will be free."

"What? Doesn't the Sky Demon Saint want to kill me? Will he agree to let me join?"

Song Shi teased.

"The Demon Saint actually admires Young Master Song very much. He said that no one has been able to hurt him for so many years and he acknowledges your ability very much. We only dared to invite you because of his instructions."

Qing Yu smiled.

"Alright, I'll join. Give me the contract."

Song Shi readily agreed without any hesitation, causing the Sky Demon Cult members present to be a little dumbfounded.

"Good, Young Master Song is so bold!"

Qing Yu applauded. "A cultivator like Young Master Song who cares so much about his family is truly rare in our Sky Demon Cult. In the future, we can set an example for everyone and let the disciples learn what filial piety and integrity are."

Song Shi pursed his lips. A bunch of lawless, unscrupulous, sinister, and vicious demons… The Sky Demon Cult that had all kinds of moral shortcomings would learn loyalty and filial etiquette?

He said impatiently, "Cut the crap. Take out the contract!"

"It's so comfortable talking to Brother Song."

Qing Yu was all smiles as he took out a black scroll from his chest pocket. A cold and dark aura filled the air, as if it could devour light. One look and one could tell that it was not a proper contract.

He opened the contract. The surface of the scroll made of an unknown material was still pure black. The entire underground space darkened. Song Shi felt that his Supreme Yang True Fire was about to be swallowed by the scroll.

"Brother Song, this contract has already been signed. We promise not to hurt your family so in return please write a promise on it with your blood to not to betray our sect and to not disobey the orders of the Sect Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shi cut his finger. Golden blood flowed out, emitting waves of divine light. It was an extraordinary scene.

He used blood as ink to write directly on the contract.

Qing Yu was flabbergasted. Back then, when he signed this dark contract, he had been in a dilemma for a long time. Did this person not even consider the conditions on the contract?
