What If I Can't Die?

by Legrev

Song Shi came to an immortal world where demons and monsters were rampant. He thought he was going to take a trepidatious road to immortality, but ended up awakening to a death-defying system, gaining strength from death and getting stronger every time he died. The whole style took a sudden change. Other people cultivated to seek immortality, but he was already immortal, and could

101 My Clothes Ran Away

"…"

Song Shi was a little speechless. How was this woman's nose so sensitive? Why couldn't he smell it?

"You don't like me anymore?"

Liu Ruxue looked at Song Shi angrily. In this world, men had three wives and four concubines. However, she was a cultivator and was very young. She was very possessive. How could she be willing for her man to have a relationship with another woman?

"I like you."

Song Shi secretly added, "I only like your body."

"You're so fickle! I was just thinking of going to the Yao Moon Palace with you to be a pair of immortal Dao couple. But when you went out to fight, you actually slept with other women."

Liu Ruxue's eyes turned red. She was so angry that she started crying.

"You're thinking too much. This is the aura left behind by a Golden Core senior."

Song Shi shook his head, "Do you think a Golden Core existence would do such a thing with me?"

"Golden Core cultivator?"

Liu Ruxue stopped crying immediately. She widened her eyes and looked at Song Shi, "You're not lying to me?"

"If I lie to you, I'll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Song Shi recited this oath skillfully as he muttered in his heart.

The heavens in this world were very effective. He had already sworn a few false oaths, so why was there still no punishment meted to him?

"Alright, don't swear randomly. You're a cultivator. It's very easy for you to trigger the response from the laws of heaven and earth."

Liu Ruxue pressed Song Shi's lips with her fingers and looked at the paper clothes. "Is this what she gave you? It feels a little like the work of those paper cutters."

"Yes, it's from a paper cutter. It's from a cutter called Granny Cat. Have you heard of her?"

Song Shi was really interested in paper cutting. He felt that this thing was quite fun.

"I've never heard of it. These people who cultivate in the unorthodox sects have always been elusive and unpredictable. Young Master must have met them by coincidence."

Liu Ruxue shook her head and held Song Shi's hand. "I don't like the smell. Come with me to take a shower."

"That's what I'm talking about. Let's take one together to save water, hehe."

Soon, Liu Ruxue exclaimed, "Master, your cultivation has reached Level 10!"

"That's right. That senior helped me and gave me some benefits, directly raising me to this level."

"Young Master, you're really lucky to encounter such a good thing on your trip."

While Song Shi and Liu Ruxue were cultivating, a team of carriages and horses was advancing quickly at the border between the north of Jinzhou and Silken City.

In the carriage, Song Wan looked at his third son, who was wearing an official's robe, "Hu'er, you should interact more with your Seventh brother. He's a cultivator now and you have an official position in Great Qian. If you help each other, you should be able to rebuild the Song family very quickly."

"Father, I know my limits. You don't have to care too much. Just take care of yourself in your old age."

Song Hu smiled faintly. He was in his thirties and his handsome face was dignified. "Elder Qin, follow me from now on. I need Elder Qin as support to counter my wife's side of the family."

"Your eldest brother and second brother are both dead. You can be considered the eldest son in the family now. I agree with Elder Qin following you, but you have to discuss it with Elder Qin."

Song Wan had no objections.

"Elder Qin will definitely agree. I will recruit Elder Qin as my personal guard. This way, Elder Qin can obtain some cultivation resources from the Imperial Court."

Song Hu smiled confidently, "It's a pity that Liu Li is unwilling to follow me."

"He's your seventh brother's follower after all. Forget about it. Don't force him."

Song Wan shook his head.

"Seventh Brother is probably doomed this time. I just received news that almost everyone from the Demon Slayers Division has been killed."

Song Hu said a piece of news. In fact, he had long known about it. He was even certain that Song Shi had gone missing and could not be contacted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left so quickly and brought his family away.

"What!"

Song Wan was shocked, "Doesn't that mean that your Seventh brother is also doomed?"

"Pretty much. It'll depend on his luck."

Song Hu couldn't say that he was dead. He comforted Song Wan, "This Old Seventh usually hides his true abilities. I didn't expect him to become a cultivator at a critical moment. I think he will be quite lucky."

"It could be possible. He avoided so many dangers…"

Song Wan sighed. He wasn't sure either.

In the carriage at the back, Song Jia and Song Bei heard the conversation and their expressions changed.

"Second Sister, will Seventh Brother be alright?"

Song Bei bit her lip, unwilling to believe it.

"This is a chaotic world now. It's normal for people to die. I wonder if he'll survive it."

Song Jia's expression was complicated, "If he is still alive, Jinzhou is not far from Silken city. We will definitely have a chance to meet in the future."

"Yes, yes. Seventh Brother will definitely come and look for us in the future."

Song Bei chose to believe that Song Shi was still alive.

"Look for us…"

Song Jia smiled bitterly.

Their actions this time could be considered to be abandonment. With that fellow's personality, if he knew, he would probably not come looking for them in a fit of anger.

...

In the middle of the night, Liu Ruxue was cultivating with all her might. Moonlight shone upon her body.

The flames on Song Shi's body flickered, reflecting Liu Ruxue's power. It was as if the moon and the sun were circulating their power at the same time.

"Ding… congratulations on perfecting the Yang Refinement Technique. You have been rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery!"

A notification appeared in his ear. The Yang Refining Technique, which could only be cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, had been cultivated to perfection.

In fact, his realm had long surpassed the cultivation technique. The reason why he did not immediately complete the cultivation of it was mainly because there were still some meridians that he had not cultivated.

After spending half a day, he had already opened up this portion of his meridians. The Yang energy in his body was even more blazing now and there seemed to be a ball of fire burning in his abdomen.

"Why does this cultivation technique look a little like the aphrodisiac technique? It should be specially meant for women to cultivate… Right, Liu Ruxue wanted to use me as a Furnace at the beginning."

He thought about it and grinned, "Now that this Furnace has been upgraded to a Dao companion, Liu Ruxue likes him so much that she can't extricate herself."

He was very proud in his heart. He then began to cultivate the Connate Pure Yang Art.

This was a very powerful Qi Refinement cultivation technique. After circulating it, Song Shi's chest seemed to have accumulated a ball of pure Yang energy and his breathing became extremely slow.

After he circulated his cultivation technique, the Nine Yang True Energy in his body became more agile. It was no longer purely just Domineering.

...

Making use of his cultivation level to his advantage, he quickly opened the meridians that he needed to cultivate this martial art.

Suddenly.

The paper clothes that were thrown by the bed suddenly glowed then stood up and floated outside.

Song Shi sensed it and opened his eyes in surprise. He turned around at the movement.

His clothes actually seemed to have come to life. They opened the window and floated out.

"Holy sh*t, has it become a spirit?"

Song Shi was dumbfounded.

He originally thought that this paper robe was already trash. He did not expect it to still be able to move.

"What happened?"

When Liu Ruxue heard the commotion, she stopped cultivating and looked curious.

"My clothes are running away!"

Song Shi said with a strange expression.

"The clothes ran away?"

Liu Ruxue hurriedly looked at the clothes scattered by the bed. Song Shi's outer robe was mixed with her clothes, but the paper clothes were indeed gone.

"I'll go over and take a look!"

There must be a reason for this abnormality. Song Shi felt that the paper clothes would not run out aimlessly.

He picked up his coat and jumped out of the window, catching up to the paper clothes. Then, he was shocked to find that there were many paper effigies floating in the night sky outside, all laughing faintly.

102 Departure

In the dark night, paper effigies floated in the air, stirring up waves of cold wind. The whole scene was extremely strange and made one's scalp tingle.

Song Shi stood on the roof and realized that the paper effigies were all converging in one direction, as if someone was secretly commanding them.

His paper clothes looked like a giant amongst the others as he chased it down.

In a flash, Song Shi chased after it and caught it. He said gloomily, "Why are you running away? Don't you know who you belong to?"

!!

His clothes moved, but he didn't know if it was because they understood what he meant, but they suddenly quietened down and stopped moving.

"Did I manage to convince them…"

Song Shi felt that this thing was really strange. He wanted to burn it, but when he thought about how it was left behind by Huang Heyu, he felt a little reluctant.

"Young Master, why are you still reluctant to part with this piece of paper?"

Liu Ruxue came out after putting on her clothes. She was a little jealous because when she was showering, she found out that the person who gave Song Shi the paper clothes was a demoness.

"This thing should be a treasure. Maybe it can be sold for money. I can't let them take it away."

Song Shi said righteously.

"I think she's just using this to spy on you."

Liu Ruxue rolled her eyes at Song Shi and looked at the increasing number of paper effigies around her. Her expression changed, "There are so many paper effigies. What happened?"

"I don't know. I'm curious where these paper effigies came from."

Song Shi's body swayed and an afterimage flew outside before returning.

A paper effigy appeared in his hand. It was only the size of a palm, but it was making creaking sounds and struggling in his hands.

"It's like they're investigating the situation."

Liu Ruxue's beautiful eyes landed on the paper effigy. It had a vivid expression with a nose and a mouth and looked antique. She commented, "They don't seem to have much combat strength. Other than coming out to investigate the situation and scaring ordinary people, it should be useless."

Song Shi turned the paper effigy over. The paper effigy was exquisitely drawn. The lines on it formed a strange pattern. It was this pattern that gave the paper effigy life.

"Stop looking. There are definitely great cultivators nearby. Moreover, they're related to the evil path and the demonic sect. They're probably temperamental. Let's retreat quickly. We don't want to be captured by them and be turned into paper effigies later."

A middle-aged woman with white hair suddenly appeared and looked into the night sky with a solemn expression.

She was wearing a long gray robe, and was very good-looking. Her temples were slightly white, so she should be a little older than them.

"Elder Yuan."

Liu Ruxue hurriedly turned around and bowed.

"I originally wanted to stay for another two days before we set off, but from the looks of it, this city is probably in a little bit of trouble right now. Let's leave tonight."

Elder Yuan looked in the direction of the paper effigies with fear, "Let's go in the opposite direction!"

"So urgent?" Liu Ruxue was surprised.

"Once a war breaks out in Silken City, it will be very difficult for us to leave, especially if the Imperial Court conscripts us. It won't be easy to refuse them."

Elder Yuan had foresight. She would rather deal with a little trouble than be involved in a war.

"I'll listen to you, elder. However, can we bring my Dao companion to the Yao Moon Palace?"

Liu Ruxue had no objections and only asked about Song Shi.

"You can bring him along, but it's more troublesome for him to enter the inner sect because you're not an official inner sect disciple yet. Moreover he's not a disciple of the Yao Moon Palace, so you can only bring him along as a Furnace."

Elder Yuan glanced at Song Shi. Although she was shocked by Song Shi's strength, she did not show it.

"That's enough. There's also Mei Niang. I need her to help me deal with the miscellaneous matters."

"This is in line with the rules."

Elder Yuan nodded.

Song Shi said, "I'm going to bring my guard along. Is that okay?"

"I just said that no matter who you bring, if you don't have enough status, you can only stay in the outer sect."

Elder Yuan looked at Song Shi, "You're very talented. You can consider joining the Yao Moon Palace when you get there."

After saying that, she took out a rolled-up item from her bosom and casually threw it away. A large blue blanket appeared, big enough to seat several people.

"Hurry up and prepare. We'll set off in half an hour."

Elder Yuan urged.

Song Shi knew that Elder Yuan probably knew something, but did not say it.

He patted Liu Ruxue's shoulder. "Go and prepare. Since I'm alone now, I have nothing to do. Just let Big Smart come over."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Liu Ruxue jumped back into the house and went to work.

In the night sky, the paper effigies had already disappeared and a cold wind blew in their place.

Only the two of them were left. Elder Yuan was the first to speak, "Your name is Song Shi, right? You're more outstanding than what Xue'er had mentioned."

"Otherwise, how would I be worthy of Xue'er?"

Song Shi was not humble. From now on, his identity has changed. He had to be confident when he needed to be. He did not want to be looked down upon.

"Your personality is rather outgoing. This probably has something to do with your background. It's very normal. However, when you go to the Yao Moon Palace in the future, you have to be careful to not act rashly."

Elder Yuan said meaningfully, "After all, there are many women in the palace, and the men there are not simple either. There are still many cases of jealousy that will happen."

"Every time I hear you talk about the palace, It feels like it's an imperial palace."

Song Shi smiled and looked at the dark night sky. Suddenly, he changed the topic, "Elder Yuan, why are you in such a hurry to leave? The battle between the demonic sects and Great Qian shouldn't affect us, right?"

...

"You should have seen the battle between powerhouses, right?"

Elder Yuan did not answer. Instead, she asked him a question.

"I've seen it before. It caused a huge commotion. Like an avalanche which broke the ground."

"That's only because they attacked outside. If they attack this city, do you think you'll be affected?"

Song Shi's pupils constricted, he lowered his head and looked at the paper effigy that was still struggling. "Aren't they already fighting with the elites of Great Qian outside? Do they still have the strength to come in here?"

"A few days ago, nobody would have thought that the Demon Cult would have the strength to destroy hundreds of thousands of troops."

Elder Yuan's expression was mocking.

"I understand!"

Song Shi could tell that this elder wanted to stay out of this. This was indeed a wise choice.

"Actually, this is nothing. The key is that if they start a war in this city, it's very easy to force you to choose one side. At that time, you won't have a choice to be impartial."

Elder Yuan said meaningfully, "At this time, the best choice is to stay out of it and wait for the situation to clear up before thinking about doing anything."

...

"Young Master!"

At this moment, Big Smart ran over eagerly. After knowing that Song Shi had returned, he had been waiting. Just now when Liu Ruxue summoned him, he immediately came over.

"Yes, wait at the side. We have to leave Silken City."

Song Shi nodded. Big Smart did not abandon him. As such he has prepared to treat him as a confidant and wanted to nurture him well to let him live up to his own ambitions.

Liu Ruxue went back to pack her things and brought Mei Niang out. Elder Yuan made a hand seal and the blanket brought everyone out of the city.

The blanket Dharma artifact was not very fast, but it was soft and stable. It was very comfortable to ride on.

Song Shi looked at the many houses below and sighed inwardly, "I didn't expect to leave my hometown, which I've lived in for so many years, so soon."

"Elder Yuan, where is the Yao Moon Palace? Is it very far away?"

Song Shi asked curiously.

"My Yao Moon Palace is one of the largest sects within the radius of five thousand kilometers. Sky Moon Mountain, which is one thousand and eight hundred kilometers northwest, is where our sect is located. With this speed, it will take me two days to arrive even if we travel at full speed."

Just as Elder Yuan said that, her expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly stopped and looked into the distance nervously.

Song Shi also sensed danger approaching and looked over almost at the same time.

"I didn't expect to meet Fairy Zi Yue's attendant, Elder Yuan, here. How has Fairy Zi Yue been recently?"

In the darkness, a young man holding a three-colored feather fan walked over with a smile.

103 Lacking a Sacrificial Offering

The moment Song Shi saw this person, he was certain that he was the one who had fought with the kings of Great Qian in the sky.

This person actually survived and came here. It seemed that the Demon Cult was really up to something.

Elder Yuan bowed, "So it's Ninth Young Master. My master is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Young Master."

"It's been more than thirty years since we parted on Heavenly Mountain. Fairy Zi Yue's Talent is outstanding. She's probably about to form her Nascent Soul, right?"

Jiu Yu smiled and wanted to find out about Zi Yue's cultivation level.

"My cultivation level is low, so it's difficult for me to see Master's cultivation level."

Elder Yuan refused to reveal it.

"I'm sure it'll be soon. If she reaches the Nascent Soul stage, I'll definitely come to congratulate."

Jiu Yu looked at Liu Ruxue with a smile, "This little girl is quite elegant. You are bringing her back to the Yao Moon Palace?"

"Yes, Miss Xue'er is the seedling that Master values."

Elder Yuan cupped his fists, "We're in a hurry to go back, so we won't disturb you."

"How about I get someone to pilot a Dharma artifact spaceship to send you guys? It'll save you trouble and is also safer."

Jiu Yu smiled as if he didn't want them to leave.

Elder Yuan's expression changed slightly, "You're too kind, Ninth Young Master. We can go back ourselves."

"Don't stand on ceremony. Fairy Zi Yue and I are old friends. Helping you out is nothing."

Jiu Yu looked very generous. Song Shi didn't know if this guy was trying to please Fairy Zi Yue, or if he had some ulterior motives for Liu Ruxue.

"There's really no need. Young Master, you should prioritize your own important matters."

Elder Yuan rejected him firmly.

Jiu Yu frowned, "It's fine if you want to leave, but you should only go after dawn."

Elder Yuan sighed, "We'll do as you say."

"Iron Tooth, stay here and accompany these friends."

Jiu Yu arranged with a smile. A slender person with sharp teeth walked out from behind him.

"I'm doing this for your own good. After all, Silken City has already been enveloped by an Array Formation. If you rashly go out, it might affect our arrangements."

Song Shi's heart skipped a beat.

That was impossible. Was it really necessary to attack a city?

"You guys want to seize the Dragon Vein Qi under Silken City?"

Elder Yuan exclaimed, "Otherwise, why would you use an Array Formation to envelop such a large city?"

"That's why I asked Elder Yuan to wait for a while before leaving. At the same time, I wanted you all to see how we would sever the Dragon Slaying Qi."

At this point, Jiu Yu looked rather proud.

Song Shi was dumbfounded. What was this Dragon Vein Qi? Was it an energy sourceor something illusory?

Seeing Liu Ruxue's complicated expression, he asked softly, "Xue'er, what do they mean by this Dragon Vein Qi?"

"These aura are the foundations of cities and even dynasties. It's just like the Yang energy of humans. If it's severed, the city will be destroyed and the dynasty will quickly weaken."

Liu Ruxue sighed. "I'm afraid the prosperity of Silken City will stop for the next hundred years."

"Oh."

Song Shi didn't quite understand. Fortunately, Liu Ruxue used Yang energy as an analogy. As someone whose Yang energy had been depleted several times, he could understand the feeling of weakness.

In fact, without Yang energy, people would die.

He still found it a little strange. "How does that work?"

"I'm not too sure either. It seems to affect the luck and the environment of this city. Anyway, that's what the ancient books record."

"Where did this wild seedling come from? His foundation isn't solid, but his aptitude looks pretty good."

Jiu Yu looked over and asked casually.

"He's from Silken City." Elder Yuan frowned. Was this person targeting them?

"Oh, you're born and raised here, so you can absorb some of the Dragon Qi. Little fellow, are you interested in joining my Sky Demon Cult? I'll bring you to absorb Dragon Qi."

Elder Yuan did not say anything about Song Shi being poached in front of her. After all, Song Shi was free to go anywhere he wanted.

"Not interested."

Song Shi did not have a good impression of the Sky Demon Cult, especially the people from Sky Demon Cult. He would rather die than follow these guys to attack his hometown.

In fact, he could not bear to know that the city he had lived in for more than ten years would completely decline because they are severing the Dragon Energy.

"Oh, you have quite a temper."

Jiu Yu glanced at Song Shi coldly. He did not like being rejected by the weak.

Not only did Zi Yue's servant reject him, but this Qi Refinement cultivator also dared to reject him.

Just as he was about to mess with Song Shi, he suddenly received a message. He said to his subordinates, "Let them go after dawn. Elder Yuan, please cooperate with us."

With that, a small paper effigy appeared in his palm. He threw it out and flew towards the center of the city.

"The paper cutters are sending them a message!"

Song Shi's heart sank. Could Huang Heyu be related to these guys?

"Demons and ghosts… It's normal that they are in contact with them, but her kind attitude still feels different from theirs."

...

While he was thinking, Jiu Yu suddenly came back and asked, "Is this kid from your Yao Moon Palace?"

"Sort of. He's Xue'er's Furnace."

Elder Yuan nodded.

"A Furnace? Borrow it. We lack a sacrificial offering on our side. This kid is full of vigor and is quite suitable."

Jiu Yu grinned and grabbed Song Shi. Without giving Elder Yuan a chance to discuss, he left with his men and Song Shi.

"…"

Song Shi scolded, "Why are you targeting me?"

"How can the weak have so many complaints? I just happen to lack a Pure Yang Child. Firstly I don't like you, and your aura is quite pure. Therefore I think that it's suitable to use you as a replacement."

Liu Ruxue quickly interjected, "Senior, he's not a Pure Yang Body anymore. He's useless to you."

Big Smart and Mei Niang were shocked. They did not expect this to happen. They did not even have the right to speak.

Elder Yuan did not expect Song Shi to be caught. She probed, "Ninth Young Master, please be magnanimous."

...

"Why? I'm giving Zi Yue some face. Do you really think you're so awesome? If you don't want to die, stay here obediently."

Jiu Yu smiled coldly, turned around, and disappeared like a gust of wind.

"Why… why did he capture my man…"

Liu Ruxue was in a daze. She was about to go to the sect with Song Shi, but they were separated here.

"Sigh, we're unlucky to have met this person. Back then, he was rejected by Master Zi Yue. I'm afraid he's resentful and can't bear to see you two in a pair."

Elder Yuan explained the reason. "Of course, it might also be because of other reasons. He might really be lacking people to be sacrificial offerings."

Liu Ruxue's face turned pale and she felt helpless. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm too weak. I can only be at the mercy of others."

She made up her mind. If Song Shi died, she would definitely kill this person to take revenge.

Iron Tooth grinned hideously, "Don't the women of the Yao Moon Palace change Furnaces as if they were changing clothes? Do you have to be so angry after losing this piece of 'clothing'? I think you're still too young and haven't seen a real good man yet. Why don't I be your Dao companion?"

"I'm sorry, you can't compare to Young Master Song." Liu Ruxue's expression was cold. She was afraid of the person just now, but she was not too afraid of his Foundation Establishment subordinate.

"Hehe, you would rather stick with a Qi Refinement pretty boy than consider a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me. You are really short-sighted."

Iron Tooth sneered.

"Sir, please be quiet. I don't want to fight with you because of your nasty words."

Elder Yuan frowned, causing Iron Tooth's gaze to turn cold and he stopped provoking them.

Big Smart was so anxious that he spun on the spot, but there was nothing he could do. He sighed at Mei Niang. "How could this be? My plan to follow you all is ruined."

104 I'll Rip Your Mouth Off

Song Shi's powers were easily sealed by Jiu Yu, preventing him from using his full strength.

After a moment of anger, he gradually calmed down.

He had finally witnessed how cruel the powerhouses were to the weak. As long as they didn't like you, they could kill you without much thought.

This was the lawless world of cultivators.

Song Shi finally witnessed the bad side of the cultivation world and thought about how to escape or… kill this guy.

"Kid, are you depressed?"

Jiu Yu chuckled. "Actually, it's one thing to dislike you, but more importantly, we lack sacrifices. Otherwise, we would still have to give the Yao Moon Palace some face."

"The sacrifice will die, right?"

Song Shi was expressionless. He had already set the resurrection point near the previous location. As long as he died, he would have a chance to escape.

"You'll definitely die. Enjoy your last moments."

Jiu Yu's strange laughter made Song Shi want to punch this guy to death.

From the corner of his eye, Song Shi saw a scar on the other party's neck. His heart skipped a beat.

From the looks of it, this person should have suffered some losses in the previous battle.

Song Shi's started to actively plan his escape. While he was thinking, he was brought to a dark room.

"Jiu Yu, you found the sacrifice so quickly?"

In the darkness, two green balls of fire appeared.

Song Shi took a closer look and hurriedly lowered his head.

This green fireball was actually a black-robed man. His face was green. It was actually the fellow who had used poison to kill him back then.

"Coincidentally, I met a guy I didn't like. I'll capture him directly. He is definitely worth ten sacrificial offerings."

Jiu Yu chuckled and threw Song Shi on the ground like he was throwing trash.

Crash.

Song Shi's face fell to the ground, and he felt like he had fallen into a sticky liquid. A bloody smell into his nostrils, and a cold and unholy aura appeared around him.

He hurriedly shut up, feeling so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

"What the hell is this?"

He raised his head to take a look. He was trapped in a black thing which emitted a cold aura.

There were also hundreds and thousands of figures in the black liquid. There were both men and women, but they were all unconscious.

"He is actually a guy at the perfected Qi Refinement realm. His Qi and blood are very abundant. He is indeed not bad. It will be completely enough to summon the projection of the evil god."

The green-faced man glanced at Song Shi and nodded in satisfaction.

Because the latter's face was covered in black mucus and his cultivation level did not match what he remembered, he did not recognize this person as the kid who he had casually poisoned to death in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range.

Just as Song Shi thought that there would be less trouble, the green-faced elder's gaze suddenly focused on Song Shi's waist. "Eh, why does this storage bag look a little familiar?"

He raised his withered hand and grabbed at the air and a storage bag appeared in his hand.

Then, the green poisonous gas flashed and forcefully broke through the restrictions on the bag, and an alms bowl appeared.

"Damn it, it's really my disciple's bag!"

The fire in the green-faced man's eyes burned brighter and there was anger in them. He stared at Song Shi. "Where did you get this?"

Song Shi cursed his bad luck. Why was this guy Hei Duzi's master?

But he was also not surprised. There was only one person who could use poison in the vicinity. It was not too surprising that the two of them were related.

"Not talking?"

The green-faced elder's expression was gloomy. He raised his hand and waved it. With a bang, Song Shi was sent flying. His entire body bounced a few times on the mucus and smashed through a wooden building with a bang.

"What's there to ask? Didn't he just snatch this person's things after killing your disciple?"

Jiu Yu frowned. "A perfected Qi Refinement cultivator can't kill your avenging disciple?"

"Hmph, Wuji was the most talented in poison among my disciples. In the end, he died for no reason. How can I not be angry when I meet the murderer?"

The green-faced elder harrumphed.

"He's about to die. His flesh and soul will be swallowed by the evil god and his soul will dissipate. Isn't that enough for you to vent your anger?"

Jiu Yu waved his fan, "So let's not waste time. It wasn't easy for us to sneak over, especially since I was already injured and had to use the facade of recovering from my injuries to cover up my tracks. If we're discovered, this sneak attack will be in vain."

"Jiu Yu is right. This sneak attack is very important. Green Snake, don't affect the overall situation because of your personal matters. If something goes wrong, the cult master won't be happy."

Distantly, a girl's voice sounded. A paper figurine appeared in the darkness. It was the size of a normal person and it looked like a young girl. She was wearing an embroidered red jacket.

It looked like the girl next door, but its eyes were dark and its lips were red. It even let out a human voice, looking especially terrifying.

"Guardian!"

The two immediately bowed respectfully.

Song Shi was shocked to see this unique paper effigy in the dilapidated wooden building.

The two Golden Core cultivators were so polite. This person's identity was probably not simple.

"Hurry up and activate the ritual. I've already asked the paper effigies to monitor the key points everywhere and be our eyes, especially to monitor the old fellows in the government office. I'll take good care of them. As long as we force out the Dragon Vein Qi and cut them off, We'll be able to succeed."

The girl's paper effigy spoke faintly.

"Old Snake, get ready to activate the sacrificial array. I'll go and pick up the final sacrifice."

...

In a flash, Jiu Yu turned into a breeze and appeared beside Song Shi. He picked him up and threw him back into the black mucus.

"F*ck…"

For the second time, Song Shi wanted to grind this guy's bones and scatter his ashes.

"Huh."

Someone exclaimed for the second time. This time, it was actually the paper-clothed girl floating in the air.

She floated in front of Song Shi and looked at the paper clothes folded in his arms. "Where did you get this?"

"It's from a friend, old witch. Is there a problem?"

Song Shi was in a bad mood and his tone was very harsh.

"Old witch?"

The girl's paper effigy stared at Song Shi. Her eyes seemed to be smiling, but they were actually very cold.

"Looks like she's really an old witch and not an old man." Song Shi pursed his lips. He felt that the owner of this paper effigy was at least 800 years old to make Jiu Yu act so politely.

...

Jiu Yu and Green Snake looked at each other and were a little speechless. There was actually someone who dared to address Guardian Hong Luo of the Four Great Guardians so disrespectfully.

"What are you waiting for? Activate the Heretical God Sacrificial Spirit Array!"

The girl's voice was clearly colder. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was important, she would definitely skin this guy alive to make a paper effigy.

The two of them hurriedly separated and chanted an incantation at the same time. Black runes suddenly appeared on the ground, turning into an unholy and strange Array Formation.

This array formation was hundreds of meters long. The cold black liquid on it seemed to have a life of its own and began to squirm violently.

Song Shi felt the black mucus surging towards him. His death was not far away. He no longer held back and continued to mock her. "Old witch, do you look in the mirror at night? Will you get scared because of how ugly you are"

"Hmph, the roar of a weakling is similar to a dog barking before it dies. Do you think I'll be angry with you?"

The young paper effigy sneered.

"Will even a dog like you? From the looks of you, even a dog would want to avoid you."

As soon as Song Shi said this, the female paper effigy, which had just recovered some of its pride, twisted its body for a moment before flashing away.

Puchi!

She slapped his mouth so hard it turned into a meat paste, then tore his mouth apart with both hands.

Song Shi's mouth was split into two, and blood gushed out.

"I'll tear your mouth apart. Why don't you show me what you've got?"

"…"

Song Shi was in extreme pain, but he was still holding a grudge. He continued to look down on this old witch with his eyes mockingly.

The next second, he became blind.

105 Evil God: Are You Fooling Me?

This was the first time Song Shi had met such a ruthless person. It was fine if he was not allowed to speak, but he could not even attack with his eyes.

"Tsk tsk, little fellow, you are really shameless. It's just that your mouth is too foul. Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice your body to the evil god."

The girl's paper effigy looked at Song Shi with a smile. It was unknown if she was smiling because it was the expression on the effigy or if she was really smiling at that moment.

Even if Song Shi could not see it, he felt that this woman was a little perverse.

At this moment, a figure in a red cloak walked out from beside the paper effigy, and the girl paper effigy disappeared.

This figure also looked very petite. Her exposed crimson lips were like spider lilies from hell, carrying an evil redness. Her fair chin outlined a smile as she slowly walked to Song Shi's side.

"There's another fun toy."

Her voice sounded nicer, but it also sent chills down one's spine.

She walked to Song Shi's side and placed her slender fingers on Song Shi's arm.

"So sturdy"

Crack!

Song Shi's arm was broken.

"Ah!"

The pain made him scream.

He was extremely shocked.

Even if he did not actively activate his Diamond Dharma Body, his body was still extremely hard. How could this woman break his arm with only a paper effigy?

He secretly released his Spiritual Sense detection and discovered that the paper effigy had actually turned into a real person.

"Is this an illusion, or did her main body really come out just to torture me?"

Song Shi secretly investigated. The woman was wearing a red cloak. She was not tall and her eyes were huge. Her eyelashes were long and blood-red.

However, her face was as pale as a piece of cold jade. Her appearance was that of a young girl and she actually looked very beautiful.

"It's not an old witch. No, it must be a technique to retain one's youth. She's still old, so she's an old witch!"

Song Shi thought to himself.

"Hehe, I thought you weren't in pain. Continue screaming. I like it."

Crack!

Song Shi's other arm was also broken, followed by his ribs.

Amidst the cracking sounds, Song Shi's bones were broken by this woman one by one. It was so painful that he kept screaming.

Jiu Yu and Song Shi's incantations became more and more hurried, and the sound of Song Shi's screams rose and fell. Together, it sounded like a demonic sound rising and falling.

The mucus on the ground turned into a ball of cold mist and mixed with the black airflow, turning into a black whirlwind.

Wild shrieks and howls could be heard from within the whirlwind, as if the gates to the netherworld were being opened.

At this moment, the black Array Formation patterns seemed to come alive and turned into black tentacles that twisted and stabbed into the sacrificial offerings in the Array Formation.

Then, the bodies of the human sacrifices began to wither. Their flesh, blood, and souls were extracted and gathered in the center of the Array Formation.

On Song Shi's side, the black tentacles did not attack as smoothly. It took more time to pierce through Song Shi's skin and devour his flesh.

Song Shi felt as if many things had drilled into his body and were crazily absorbing something.

"Thick skin."

Hong Luo stretched out a finger and swiped it across Song Shi's chest causing flames to appear.

However, she still left a bloody wound on Song Shi's chest. Blood flowed out and flowed towards the center of the black whirlwind through the Array Formation.

The original black Array Formation began to turn red because of the blood sacrifices.

Boohoo…

The commotion in the Array Formation became louder and louder, and waves of ghostly wind swept up. Many white shadows gathered in the darkness, emitting all kinds of strange laughter, as if they were celebrating.

"Which demon dares to cause trouble in the city!"

With a loud shout, the light in the distance shone brightly. It was as if a righteous aura rose from the ground, dyeing the sky white.

The girl's paper effigy pinched Song Shi's thigh and suddenly looked up with a strange smile. "I've been waiting for you to come out."

The next second, the white light in the distance suddenly dimmed a little.

Densely packed paper effigies rushed out and let out all kinds of strange laughter.

"Red Paper Rakshasa, how dare you attack the government office of Great Qian!"

The dignified voice scolded, "Watch me burn your paper effigies!"

"Hehe, old man, you don't have the strength. What you burn is not even the amount I cut for fun."

The girl's voice echoed in the air, as if she was not afraid of the other party at all.

When Hong Luo and the powerhouses of Great Qian attacked, Jiu Yu and Green Snake's faces turned pale. It was obvious that this array formation consumed a lot of energy.

"Do you think I don't know that you're peeking with your divine sense?!"

Hong Luo, who was beside Song Shi, did not leave. Instead, she used paper effigies to fight the experts in Silken City. From time to time, houses would collapse in the distance, as if a monster was wreaking havoc in the city.

As for Hong Luo's true body, it was still exerting strength with both hands to torture Song Shi. With a crack, it broke Song Shi's remaining thigh.

His calf quickly followed suit. But what made his scalp tingle was that this woman actually attacked his 'third leg'.

The scream became much louder, tinged with fear.

...

"Is this woman a pervert?"

Song Shi cursed in his heart. He was living a life worse than death. This was the first time he was so eager to die so he could be free.

However, his strength had been sealed, hence he could not sever his own meridians.

Jiu Yu and the Green Snake looked straight ahead and slapped the ground at the same time. The aura of the Array Formation surged again and completely turned into a huge black vortex.

The Void twisted and something seemed to be coming out of the vortex.

Hong Luo crushed the two hundred and six bones in Song Shi's body and looked at Song Shi, who had turned into meat paste. Only then did she clap her hands in satisfaction. "How fun. I love a tough nut to crack, especially one tough cookie like you."

At this moment, Song Shi was still alive.

This woman had broken all his bones without injuring his internal organs. How superb was her technique?

At this moment, he was very eager for the Array Formation to sacrifice him quickly. He could not give this woman another chance to torture him.

"Welcome, Evil God!"

At this moment, Jiu Yu suddenly spoke. He directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards the black vortex.

...

"Hehe…"

A strange laugh appeared from the vortex. Then, with a rumbling sound, the world shook. Black gas surged, and cracks appeared on the ground.

Hong Luo let go of Song Shi and looked at the thing in the center of the vortex with fear. It appeared outside the Array Formation like a ghost.

The moment she left, a pillar of extreme yin and evil energy rushed out of the vortex and into the clouds. Then, a huge figure slowly appeared.

"Evil God… Even your projection is so powerful. I wonder when I can reach the realm of immortals."

Hong Luo looked at the shadow that slowly appeared in the darkness. This figure was a thousand feet tall, just like a giant standing between heaven and earth.

Its eyes were like purple torches, and it had a green face and fangs. It had bull horns and its entire body was filled with an evil aura. After coming out, it opened its mouth and sucked.

The blood gathered by the sacrifices immediately flew into his bloody mouth and swallowed it. After tasting it, the evil god revealed its scarlet tongue and looked down at the sacrifices before opening its mouth again.

Many sacrifices with withered flesh and blood were immediately swept up by a ghost wind. Song Shi was among them. Soon, a devouring power enveloped him. It did not last long before he turned into blood and was swallowed.

Seeing that the evil god had eaten the sacrifice, Jiu Yu lowered his head and said respectfully, "Evil god, please help us force out the Dragon Vein Qi here."

The Dragon Vein Qi was born from heaven and earth. Other than great cultivators who could attract the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, with their strength, they could only rely on the projection of the evil god.

Jiu Yu and the others did not notice that when the evil god smacked his lips twice, his purple eyes revealed dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this human's request, he snorted and blew out two gusts of wind, blowing Jiu Yu back more than ten feet. He said with a buzz, "The number and total number of sacrifices are wrong. Are you playing with me?"

His eyes turned cold.

The offerings were clearly not enough, but he still wanted him to do something?

Was he lying to him like he was a child?

Or was he dismissing him like a beggar?

106 Evil God's Backlash

Jiu Yu, who had just been spat out more than ten feet in a single breath, had a blank expression on his face. "That can't be. I've counted it personally with my mind. It's 800 boys and 800 girls. In order to prevent you from being dissatisfied, I even added a cultivator."

Green Snake hurriedly chimed in, "That's right, I've counted it myself."

"Why? Are you saying that I'm lying to you?"

The Evil God's gaze was cold. "If you don't follow the rules, I won't attack. Moreover, there aren't enough sacrifices, so I'll use you to make up for it."

RUMBLE!

The Void shook as a huge black hand grabbed Jiu Yu mercilessly.

A terrifying pressure enveloped Jiu Yu, causing his expression to change drastically.

The projection of the evil god that they had summoned actually attacked them directly because of the sacrifice.

When Green Snake saw that Jiu Yu was being targeted by the evil god, he turned pale with fright and hurriedly formed hand seals.

Bang!

He exploded into a cloud of green smoke and fled into the distance.

"Green Snake, you!"

Jiu Yu's heart sank when he saw Green Snake running away.

He said in a panic, "Lord Evil God, you don't care about morals and are insatiable. You actually went against the ancient agreement and attacked your believers!"

Jiu Yu turned pale with fright. Although he had heard that someone had summoned an evil god and ended up being eaten by the evil god, he did not expect it to happen to him.

At this moment, he only thought that the evil god didn't follow the rules. It was fine if he didn't do anything, but he actually wanted to swallow him.

"Bullsh*t. I've always been obedient during cross-border projections. But how dare you ants deceive me? You deserve to be killed!"

The Evil God was even more furious. After so many projections, this was the first time he had met someone who said that he didn't follow the rules.

If he didn't kill this thing, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the other gods in the Netherworld Realm?

He immediately sped up his actions. Under the black hand, Jiu Yu was like an ant that could be crushed to death with a casual pinch.

Jiu Yu's face turned pale. He realized that it was actually difficult for him, a dignified Golden Core cultivator, to move. The projection he summoned was too powerful!

The terrifying pressure made blood ooze out of the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly shouted, "Guardian, save me!"

"Hmph, you didn't complete the ritual properly. If you die, so be it. I don't want to offend such an evil god."

Hong Luo left behind these words. A red light flashed on her body, and she immediately slipped away.

Now that the Evil God had gone berserk and retaliated, the Evil experts guarding Silken City in Great Qian had also been alarmed. They no longer had the chance to execute the Dragon Slaying Qi. If they continued to stay here, even they would be in trouble.

The strongest Guardian Hong Luo had already escaped. Jiu Yu felt despair and had no choice but to grit his teeth and use his escape technique.

"Heavenly Demon Corpse Release!"

Ads by Pubfuture

He shouted in a low voice and a ball of blood light appeared on his body. His Nomological power increased exponentially and he finally broke free from some of the suppression. He immediately started to use various life-saving methods.

A top-notch Dharmic talisman formed a barrier. At the same time, the Three Flowered Treasured Fan used offense tactics as defense and swept up a wave of Gust of Fire.

The next moment, the top of his head turned black and he was grabbed by a large hand.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The power of the Dharma treasures was directly obliterated by the Evil God's hand, and the Defense methods collapsed one after another. Jiu Yu let out a tragic cry as he was grabbed by the hand and thrown into his mouth.

Crack!

With his bones shattered, Jiu Yu, a dignified Golden Core, was eaten by the evil god just like that. His soul could not escape and he died in an extremely aggrieved manner, never to be reincarnated again.

The Evil God's eyes turned and grabbed at the dark.

The Void distorted, and a ball of escaping green fog let out a tragic cry. It was actually struck down by the Evil God from afar.

"How could this be!"

The Green Snake did not expect to be attacked by the evil god after escaping.

"Ignorant ants, the sacrificial ritual hasn't even been completed yet. You've become a sacrifice. Where are you running to?"

The Evil God grinned. "Even if I'm just a projection, I'm still a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert. Die!"

He grabbed the Green Snake from afar and threw him into his mouth, wanting to eat him again.

"No!"

The Green Snake realized that the space he was in seemed to have frozen. He was being retreated uncontrollably and was about to become food for the Evil God's projection.

He revealed a crazy expression as poisonous gas erupted from his body. With a bang, he threw down half of his body and actually broke free from his control to escape.

"Damn it, he is out of the sacrificial array. The rules of this world are suppressing my power!"

The evil god was unwilling and could only grab half of the person's body and eat it.

At this point, the Array Formation on the ground had already cracked to its limit. With a series of unbearable sounds, the Array Formation collapsed.

The black whirlwind suddenly stopped, and his body immediately became much more illusory.

The Evil God roared, "Not only was my sacrificial offering halved, I also violated the rules of this world and attacked. It's too much of a loss. You'd better not summon me again, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

Boom!

His body exploded, and thousands of ghostly shadows flew out, letting out strange cries as they disappeared with the spatial vortex.

The paper effigies that were battling Great Qian also retreated. The demonic sect's sneak attack had failed just like that!

Swoosh!

Pure white light scattered down, dispelling the darkness nearby. Many lonely souls and wild ghosts that gathered nearby screamed and retreated.

...

In the light, a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing a white robe and a jade crown appeared with many cultivators.

Ads by Pubfuture

"The demonic sect is really bold. They even took the risk to set up an evil array here while fighting with Great Qian in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range. They wanted to sever the Dragon Vein Qi of Silken City!"

A man wearing a golden Demon Slayers Division token beside the Confucian scholar said angrily.

"Fortunately, there was a problem with their ritual and they actually suffered a backlash from the evil gods. One died and one was injured. To suffer a double loss is a good thing for us!"

The middle-aged scholar took a glance and looked relieved.

"It must be your good fortune that protected Silken City and foiled these demons' plans to destroy Silken City!"

A man in an official's uniform beside the man in a martial arts uniform complimented.

"Stop sucking up to me. This has nothing to do with me. They must have been careless!"

The middle-aged scholar sneered. "I really didn't expect the Demon Cult to actually want to sever the Dragon Vein Qi to weaken us. They really don't treat the people of Silken City as humans."

"That's right. Once the Dragon Vein Qi is destroyed, the evil aura of heaven and earth will have the advantage. The entire city will turn into hell on earth and it will be difficult to recover even after a hundred years."

The commander of the Demon Slayers Division had lingering fears, "Fortunately, we didn't let them succeed. Otherwise, our base would have been destroyed."

...

"Strange, even though the demonic sects want to overthrow Great Qian. Don't they also want to establish a new dynasty? How many benefits will destroying Silken city for generations bring to them?"

The man in the official uniform was puzzled.

"Hmph, I think some people want to use the Dragon Vein Qi to cultivate and use the Spirit Qi of a city and the future of hundreds of thousands of people to achieve perfecting realms."

The middle-aged scholar saw through the thoughts of the people of the Demon Cult at a glance. "In their eyes, the people of the world are nothing. As long as they become immortals and gods, who cares about the rest of the world?"

Everyone trembled. Now that they were fighting the Demon Cult, they understood more and more that this was a group of self-absorbed lunatics. Most of them were selfish and unscrupulous fellows.

This made them, who lived beyond the rules of Great Qian, difficult to deal with. They were used to following the rules.

"Don't chase after the Rakshasa anymore. Send more people to guard the Dragon Vein immediately. Also, inform the other cities to prevent the Demon Cult from using similar methods or take drastic measures."

The middle-aged scholar instructed.

"Yes, my lord!"

Before the powerhouse guarding Silken City took action and when the evil god counterattacked. Song Shi revived not far from the city gate.

"Ding… You have been killed by the Evil God's projection. True Energy 3,000!"

"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 1,500 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"Resurrection location set. Resurrection point revived!"

"Ding… congratulations on being killed by a new target. You meet the motivation conditions. The lottery subsystem has been activated. If you kill the target within the specified time, you will be rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

Song Shi was stunned when he heard the notification.

He had just suffered from immense agony and was extremely afraid of that woman. In the end, he had received such a big surprise. He only had one thing to say:

It was good to be a sacrificial offering. Being a sacrificial offering is wonderful!

Chapter 107 Foundation Establishment in Death

With a reward of 3,000 True Energy points, even if Song Shi was already at the tenth level of Qi Refinement, these points was still more than four times his current cultivation level!

Coupled with his original cultivation level, Song Shi's cultivation level could increase by more than five times in one go!

However, he still subconsciously touched his body.

Thinking about how all the bones in his body had been crushed individually by that woman, Song Shi had felt fearful. "Perverted old witch, I will definitely take revenge. Wait until my body is like a Dharma treasure. I'll see how you crush it!"

He had been completely frightened by this woman.

This time, he had finally experienced the feeling of living a life worse than death. He did not want to experience it again.

After all, he could not win for the time being. He could only hide and take revenge only after he was strong enough.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and wisps of flames appeared on his body.

"Oh no, I forgot that my cultivation level was originally only around 700 True Energy points. Now, it has increased by 3,000!"

Song Shi came back to his senses. Waves of energy surged out of his body, making him look as if he had been inflated. He looked like he had gained weight.

In fact, after Song Shi revived, he felt a powerful force appear in his body.

Because this power was completely similar to what he had cultivated and he was pleasantly surprised by his gains this time, he did not immediately notice the danger.

The moment this thought came to him, he realized that a vast amount of True Energy was circulating in his body.

The system had given him too much True Energy. For a moment, it exceeded the limit of his body's control.

If not for his Physique being strong enough, he might have exploded on the spot.

"I'm gonna crack!"

Song Shi was shocked. He instantly activated his Diamond Dharma Body and a circle of golden light controlled the flames released from his body.

Although there was no explosion and his meridians were not as fragile as his flesh and bones. The vast amount of True Energy still easily burst his meridians and he only lasted for a moment before dying.

This was the first time Song Shi died because he was too powerful!

"You died because your heart meridian was punctured by your own strength. Physique 10!"

"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 5 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"Resurrection location set. Resurrection point revived!"

After he revived, he quickly guided his strength to open the acupuncture points of the Nine Yang Divine Technique and open the meridians of the Connate Pure Yang Technique.

The flames on his body flickered. Three consecutive acupuncture points and twelve meridians were opened.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Song Shi's meridians were still broken. Fortunately, in a short period of time, more of his acupuncture points and meridians were opened up. After reviving again, the pressure was reduced significantly.

Song Shi used his body to maintain an optimal state so he could be alive for a while after his every resurrection. Through this, he forcefully broke through his cultivation realms in a way that was almost equivalent to Qi Deviation.

The Pingyang acupuncture point at the center of his right foot had already been mostly opened. Under the abundance of True Energy, it only took him three tries to open it.

As the fifth acupuncture point was opened, the realm of his Nine Yang Divine Technique increased again.

With the addition of an additional acupuncture point to accommodate the soaring True Energy, Song Shi was able to persist for a longer period of time after resurrecting and continued to open the sixth acupuncture point.

After ten consecutive impacts, the sixth acupuncture point was opened and the space in his body to store power increased by half.

This was still not enough. Song Shi had no choice but to open the seventh acupuncture point.

While breaking through the acupuncture points, Song Shi was also opening up the twelve meridians needed to cultivate the Connate Pure Yang Art. These meridians were distributed throughout the body and were more fragile. They were basically opened up through the constant ruptures.

Powerful True Energy circulated in his body and the terrifyingly high temperature turned into a ball of fire. The domineering and masculine power caused Song Shi to continuously die from Qi Deviation.

Boom!

When he opened the seventh acupuncture point of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, there was a bang!

Like a volcanic eruption, red flames erupted from his chest, hands, feet, and back. After gathering together, they formed a pillar of fire.

The resurrection point he had set up was in the wooden house behind Iron Tooth. The volcano-like explosive force shattered the entire house, then ignited and burned it.

The power of the seven acupuncture points converged, causing the energy in Song Shi's body to undergo a qualitative change. The color changed from red to dark red and the temperature in his body rose by another level.

The opened acupuncture points resonated with each other. The vast amount of True Energy in Song Shi's body circulated along the cultivation technique path. As it constantly condensed, a drop of liquid energy appeared.

True Energy turning into liquid was the symbol of one stepping into the Foundation Establishment realm. The originally gaseous energy became like magma under the continuous compression and gathering of energy.

Drip! Drip! Drip!

Drops of dark red Magma Energy appeared in Song Shi's Dantian.

Every drop of Magma Energy absorbed the large amount of True Energy ten times faster. As the conversion accelerated, the pressure on Song Shi quickly decreased.

Compared to the increase in True Energy capacity when opening acupuncture points, the amount of True Energy that converted into essence energy had decreased.

The feeling of bursting quickly dissipated, and Song Shi's meridians was no longer in danger of being broken.

Drops of True Energy transformed into essence energy and Song Shi's cultivation level continuously advanced into the new realm.

Extraordinary Foundation Establishment realm!

This was something that many Qi Refinement Connate cultivators could not achieve in their entire lives because it involved a change in energy states.

If one wanted to reach this step, not only did his body have to be strong enough, his Genuine Qi and Spiritual Energy had to be pure enough too.

Even with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate would not be high.

As for Song Shi, he was the only one who had broken through to this realm in the midst of death. No one else could do it this way.

As the quality of his True Energy increased significantly, the aura that Song Shi emitted rose as well. A deep and unfathomable aura that was akin to a deep lake was emitted from his body.

To be precise, his current aura was more like a lava lake, which signified a hidden but terrifying explosive power.

His breakthrough caused quite a commotion. Houses were blown up and flames and a powerful aura filled the air. Iron Tooth, who was distracted by the phantom of the evil god in the distance, was shocked.

Iron Tooth looked over in surprise. In the burning house, he saw a burning man with seven sun-like balls of light jumping around him.

captured by Jiu Yu.

Out of fear, he did not know if this person was an enemy or a friend. He was cautious and did not He couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Who's actually at the Foundation Establishment realm here? His aura is so strong. Could it be that he's at the 13th level of Qi Refinement?"

At this moment, the power emitted by Song Shi was so hot that it distorted the air. His thoughts could not get close at all, so he did not recognize that this was the unlucky person who had been captured by Jiu Yu.

Out of fear, he did not know if this person was an enemy or a friend. He was cautious and did not approach to investigate.

Liu Ruxue's beautiful eyes changed. She looked at the figure in the fire in surprise.

His entire body was covered in dark red energy, and there were six fireballs on his body. There was another one behind him, which looked like seven small suns embedded in his body.

Such a familiar scene caused her heart to fluctuate and she was puzzled over the reason.

When she was dual cultivating with Song Shi, he had exhibited such a sight. However, he did not have so many balls of fire and light on him and his aura was not so powerful as well.

The current Song Shi was on a completely different level from before. They were no longer on the same level.

Could it be a senior who cultivated a similar cultivation technique?

Or was it the person who taught Song Shi the cultivation technique?

"This person's cultivation technique is so Domineering. It's even hotter than our Sun-Moon Brilliance Art!"

Elder Yuan's expression was solemn. She had seen the Sun-Moon Brilliance Art before, but this person's cultivation could actually rival it. This meant that the cultivation technique he cultivated was not bad.

Just as they were attracted by Song Shi's phenomenon, the projection of the evil god in the distance moved a few times before suddenly dissipating.

Iron Tooth turned his attention back and said in surprise, "So fast? I don't think I saw any Dragon Vein Qi being severed."

"Elder, what is this?" Liu Ruxue felt that something was wrong.

Elder Yuan looked at the gradually quietening night sky and thought of something. "They must have failed!"

Chapter 108 Not Heartless, But Amorous

"Fail… How can they fail?"

Iron Tooth muttered uneasily, finding it difficult to accept this possibility.

In his eyes, the people involved in this operation were all senior experts and they were very well-prepared. They should not have failed.

Liu Ruxue couldn't help but glance at the figure who was in the midst of breaking through the Foundation Establishment realm. Her gaze wavered.

This person's sudden appearance probably had something to do with the failure of the Demon Cult's operation.

She thought of something and was secretly shocked, "No way. Did Young Master escape, which caused the sacrifice to fail? Then for some reason, Young Master directly ascended to the Foundation Establishment realm."

Liu Ruxue injected Spiritual Energy into her eyes and widened her eyes as she looked at the figure in the fire. Then, her body trembled.

Although she still could not see his face clearly, based on his size, she was even more certain that this was Song Shi.

"It really is him!"

Liu Ruxue's beautiful eyes sparkled. She had long gotten used to Song Shi's body and knew where there was more meat and where there was less meat. There was no mistaking him this time.

Elder Yuan glanced at Liu Ruxue's abnormality and calmly replied to Iron Tooth, "The divine projection just now has dissipated. Do you think there's still a chance that they will do it again?"

Iron Tooth's expression changed. When he saw powerful auras appear in the distance, he revealed a look of fear, "Looks like something really happened. The two of you can do whatever you want next."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and ran.

This time, the core of the Sacrifice Array Formation was broken. Not to mention that the Dragon Vein Qi was unharmed, by the time the cultivators of Great Qian reacted, even subordinates' lives like his would be in danger.

Seeing Iron Tooth leave, Elder Yuan said, "Let's go too. The officials of Great Qian will soon track us here."

"He's not done. We can't leave."

Liu Ruxue shook her head and turned to walk towards Song Shi.

"It really is him!"

Elder Yuan was surprised to see that Liu Ruxue was so sure.

The originally dejected Big Smart's ears twitched, and he revealed an ecstatic expression.

A scorching heat wave assaulted their faces. Many of the surrounding houses had already been burned by the flames, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke.

"What a powerful True Essence Energy… No, this person cultivated both Immortality and Martial Arts. What he condensed is even more powerful than the the True Essence Energy!"

Elder Yuan was shocked.

Martial artists focused on internal cultivation and cultivated Genuine Qi and True Essence in the early stages.

Cultivators cultivated the Spiritual Qi of the outside world and cultivated it into Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Essence.

One was inside and the other was outside. They each had their own focus, overlaps, strengths and weaknesses.

Ads by Pubfuture

It would naturally be perfect if one cultivated both Immortality and Martial Arts. However, very few people would do this. After all, it would take more time and resources. Not to mention that Song Shi was a lone cultivator and did not have the support of a cultivation family or sect.

She clicked her tongue in wonder, "A rogue cultivator can actually cultivate both immortality and martial arts. He's really a peerless genius. Miss Xue'er, you must bring him to the palace. With his talent, it's very easy for him to pass the inspection and successfully enter the inner sect."

"Yeah."

Liu Ruxue nodded. She did not expect Song Shi's Talent to be so powerful. It had only been a short while, but he had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

Even as a high-grade spiritual root, she still had to rely on the other party's help to reach the late-stage Qi Refinement realm so quickly.

This speed had already alarmed the inner sect. But Song Shi was even faster than her!

It could be seen how terrifying Song Shi's talent was.

"He is definitely a pearl that was buried in the mortal world. Now, we've discovered him!"

Elder Yuan smiled. "In the past, Great Qian's management was very strict. Many cultivation geniuses were buried. Now, they won't be. He will be the most dazzling genius in this generation."

"That's right."

Liu Ruxue had a complicated expression on her face. She was both impressed and happy. She also felt a little ashamed of being so easily surpassed.

After all, she had initially treated Song Shi as a Furnace. In the end, he was even more powerful than her. Now, she was like a Furnace to him.

Fortunately, he was moved and changed his attitude in time, turning her into his Dao companion.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

When Liu Ruxue and Elder Yuan was getting excited about what happened, three figures appeared behind them with golden tokens hanging on their waists.

"Someone is at the Foundation Establishment realm. Their aura is so powerful."

"Are those two demons from the Demon Cult? How dare they stay here?"

The leader glanced at Song Shi, who was in the Foundation Establishment realm. Then, he frowned and stared at Elder Yuan.

"Everyone, you've misunderstood. We're from the Yao Moon Palace. We're here to protect a disciple of the palace."

Elder Yuan was neither servile nor overbearing. Her words raised Song Shi's status by a lot. He changed from a Furnace to a disciple, showing the change in her attitude.

"Yao Moon Palace!"

The Golden Commander of the Demon Slayers Division narrowed his eyes.

The Yao Moon Palace was neither righteous nor evil. Furthermore, it had an ambiguous relationship with the royal family of Great Qian and did not rebel, so he did not show too much hostility to them.

He asked, "You should be an outer sect elder, right? When did you come here?"

"Two days ago, I came to pick up two disciples who were training. One of them happened to touch the threshold of Foundation Establishment and reached it here just now. We're in the middle of protecting him."

Elder Yuan directly omitted mentioning their encounter with Sky Demon Cult's Jiu Yu.

"Oh, he's already at the Foundation Establishment realm at such a young age. Looks like his future is limitless. The Yao Moon Palace has taken in another good disciple."

The three Golden Commanders revealed looks of surprise. They knew the tradition of the Yao Moon Palace. Those who could come out to train were all young and outstanding, but those who could reach the Foundation Establishment realm during the training were definitely not simple.

"White River, these two disciples are in your jurisdiction. Do you remember them?"

The commander-in-chief looked to his left.

"This girl is indeed training here. The person inside is at the Foundation Establishment realm. His essence energy is a little terrifying, but I can't see his exact appearance."

White River explained the situation to what he knew.

"Everyone, this is my identity token."

Elder Yuan tactfully took out a jade crescent token with the words "Yao Moon" on it. It emitted a special fluctuation.

"It seems that they are indeed from the Yao Moon Palace. What happened today has nothing to do with them, so there's no need to waste time here."

The leader nodded.

"Three cultivators, must have came to chase after the Sky Demon Cult cultivators. I saw a cultivator escape that way."

Elder Yuan pointed in the direction where Iron Tooth had left.

"Thank you!"

The three of them were overjoyed and turned into three streaks of light that flew into the distance.

Elder Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Liu Ruxue, "Let's guard him here in case someone kills him as a rebel cultivator."

"Yeah."

Liu Ruxue sat down cross-legged and looked at Song Shi, whose aura was getting stronger and stronger. She was at a loss.

Previously, when Song Shi was still at the Qi Refinement realm, she did not think much of it. Now that he had suddenly become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she felt a little ashamed of her inferiority.

In the cultivation world, realms was determined seniority. She felt that she was not worthy of Song Shi anymore.

"Are you feeling inferior?"

Elder Yuan could tell what she was feeling and pointed it out.

"A little… I'm afraid that he will dislike me in the future." Liu Ruxue was a little uneasy.

"If he favors the new and throws out the old, it is very normal[1]. You have to be mentally prepared to be abandoned by him."

After all, Elder Yuan had been through this before, so she reminded her.

"I don't think so."

Liu Ruxue pursed her red lips, "From his attitude towards his family, he's not a heartless person."

"Although he's not heartless, he might be amorous. When you go to the Yao Moon Palace, there will be more outstanding women. Which man can resist it? You have to be prepared to share him with other women."

Elder Yuan shook her head.

Liu Ruxue was silent. She didn't want to share her man, but she knew that if Song Shi continued to be this outstanding, such an outcome was unpreventable.

…

[1] 'Favoing the new, throwing out the old' is a Chinese phrase to describe when people start neglecting their used items for new replacements. This phrase can also be used to describe an enthusiasm towards new friends as compared to old friends

Chapter 109 Alternative Resurrection Point

"As long as he doesn't abandon me, I don't mind being one of his many beauties."

Liu Ruxue quickly got over it and smiled.

Other than the fact that it was normal for the powerhouses of this world to have many Dao companions, it was also because Song Shi had once revealed his thoughts of having three wives and four concubines to her.

"It's best that you can accept that. After all, the relationship between a man and a woman is not waht you should focus on on the path of cultivation. Becoming an immortal should be your ultimate goal."

Elder Yuan looked impressed.

"Let me put out the fire, so that we don't burn everything around us."

Liu Ruxue did not answer. Instead, she walked to the side and formed a seal to cast a spell. A layer of frost descended and controlled the spreading flames.

After extinguishing the surrounding flames, the four of them sat on the ground at the four corners and contained the space Song Shi was sitting at.

In the distant Void.

The white-robed Confucian scholar took charge of the gathering place of the Dragon Vein, leading all the official cultivators. His gaze crossed more than ten kilometers and landed on where Song Shi was ascending to the Foundation Establishment realm.

"He's really young and exuberant. Silken City has produced a good talent."

He could tell Song Shi's situation at a glance. "He had cultivated a Dharma Body even before reaching the Foundation Establishment realm. His cultivation technique is not simple either. Who is this person?"

"Sir, I just investigated. This person is a rich son from this city. He's related to the Yao Moon Palace and has also become a temporary worker of the Demon Slayers Division."

The cultivator in the official uniform beside him replied respectfully.

"Let's try our best to make acquaintance with him. Although this person can't be considered a Heavenly prodigy, he's still a first-rate genius. It's best if we can recruit him."

"Yes, my lord."

As the white-robed scholar had taken special notice of Song Shi, no one dared to disturb Song Shi's breakthrough.

However, breaking through a major realm was not something that could be completed in a short period of time. It took Song Shi half a day to convert all his True Energy into essence energy.

His True Energy, which was about to make him explode, had shrunk by half compared to the beginning.

His Dantian and the other seven acupuncture points had opened up a lot of space for storage after his breakthrough. At this moment, there was only a ball of Essence Energy being stored. It looked empty.

This was a normal phenomenon after a breakthrough. If Song Shi did not have the True Energy replenishment rewarded by the system, the amount of essence energy he had would have been even lesser.

Next, as long as he absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth or used pills, spirit stones and others, he could quickly recover to his original state and approach the next realm.

In other words, he had successfully broken through.

'Ding… congratulations on breaking through a Major realm. Reward: 1 alternate resurrection point.

When Song Shi finished converting the last trace of True Energy, the system reward that appeared in his ears made his eyes light up.

He did not expect the system to give him a resurrection point when he advanced by a major realm.

Before he could take a look at the situation about the resurrection point, another system notification sounded in his ears.

"The carrier has undergone a huge change. The novice period has ended. System upgrade is in progress… Upgrade successful!"

Song Shi was speechless. He did not expect that after he leveled up, the system would also level up. He did not know what had changed.

"Ding! Due to the fact that the host's soul is strong enough, the system's death reward has been upgraded. It will be divided into two death states, death and soul destruction. If you die, you can obtain the basic reward. The soul destruction reward will be double the basic reward. If both happens at the same time, rewards will be doubled again."

"Ding! Part of the lottery draw has been updated. Please take note!"

Song Shi was very happy with the changes in the system.

He was already strong enough now. Coupled with the fact that he cultivated the Grand Moon Visualization Method, his soul was far stronger than those of the same realm.

When he died, his soul could still exist for a period of time. If he was willing and others did not destroy his soul, he could choose to turn into an evil spirit.

Under such circumstances, he wouldn't even know that he wasn't really dead.

The system also clarified this fact and directly distinguished the two states of death and soul annihilation.

He checked the specific requirements. If his soul was destroyed within three seconds of his death, he would be considered to have lost his soul.

These three seconds were the time he had been resurrected previously. In the future, his soul would last for another three seconds after his death.

These three seconds were very short, but to a powerhouse, three seconds is be about the same as thirty seconds to normal people.

After becoming an immortal or a god in the future, three seconds to him could even be equivalent to a mortal's life.

"I leveled up very well. Now my death will be more layered and thorough."

Song Shi thought to himself.

When he was still a mortal, he was extremely weak and would die easily if his body was destroyed.

Now that he had become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he would only truly die if his soul dissipated.

He opened the system interface and continued to check the other changes.

Overall evaluation: You are at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Your true strength is comparable to late-stage Foundation Establishment realm!

…

"Forget about the change in Ability Ranking, why did the number decrease by so much?"

At first glance, Song Shi noticed the changes in the Ability column. Then, he realized that the system had automatically ranked the value of various Ability for him.

As for the decrease in numbers, it was because a portion of the low-level skills that he had possessed had now hidden themselves!

Moreover, even if the techniques that were hidden by the system was cultivated to perfection, there would be no more lucky draw rewards.

After this update, if he wanted to rely on perfecting cultivation techniques and skills to obtain a lucky draw opportunity, he could only resort to the techniques that exceeded the corresponding level of his realm.

According to the system's feedback, he inferred that he had to cultivate at least high-level spells or third-grade divine powers to be rewarded. It was the same for cultivation techniques and secret techniques.

Low-level spells and divine powers could no longer be farmed for rewards.

"Some of the data has also become real-time in nature. There's also an additional comprehensive evaluation."

Only then did Song Shi look at the resurrection point.

As expected, he could set up an additional resurrection point, which was equivalent to a backup option. He did not have to set it up at the last minute every time.

"In that case, if I encounter some special dangers, as long as I want to leave, I can escape by choosing a backup resurrection point. This perfectly resolves all my previous worries."

When he saw this, his heart bloomed with joy.

Previously, he was worried that someone would discover the secret of his resurrection. Now that there was an additional resurrection point, what was there to be afraid of?

As long as he could avoid being sealed and become unable to commit suicide, he could do whatever he wanted!

With a backup resurrection point, he looked at his Free Stats. Without any hesitation, he added them all to his Comprehension, increasing it by more than six times in one go.

This increase would only increase the speed of his cultivation technique and divine power. It would not directly increase his strength.

"Ding… Your Comprehension has exceeded 1,000. You have awakened the Psychic Dao Body!"

Song Shi's temperament changed a lot after this increase. Even when he sat there doing nothing, he

gave off a unique spiritual temperament that could only be described as Untainted by anything.

The nearby Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth even gathered just by his thoughts. A ball of golden Will-O-Wisp emitted from his head, making him look like a god that had descended.

Coincidentally, Song Shi's hair and clothes had been burned away. Under the envelopment of the halo, his entire body was golden like a Buddha.

110 He Will Regret It When His Body Is Drained

The commotion here attracted the attention of the ordinary people nearby. Not long after, outside the ashes, a circle of people filled up the place.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't come for nothing. Immortals are indeed extraordinary."

"What immortal? This is Buddha. He's going to the Western Pure Lands in the future."

"Immortals, Buddhas… aren't they all the same?"

!!

"Why are you looking at the man when there's a fairy beside him. She's so beautiful."

Song Shi opened his eyes amidst a series of chirping sounds. His eyes contained a golden glow, making him look extraordinary.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was a little speechless. "Aren't you afraid of the plague by gathering here?"

During this period of time, the plague had been very fierce. Sometimes, an entire village would be wiped out and white cloths were hung everywhere in Silken City in mourning. There were very few people on the road, and it had been a long time since they'd seen so many people gathered together.

"The immortal spoke to us!"

"Immortal, we are all people who survived the plague. We are not afraid of the plague anymore!"

The group of people spoke at once, making Song Shi realize that they were all survivors. From a scientific point of view, there was indeed no concerns of them catching the plague anymore.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew over. He suddenly felt cold all over and looked down.

"F*

Song Shi hurriedly took out a set of spare clothes and put them on. Seeing that everyone was still staring at him, he felt embarrassed when he thought about how he had probably exposed his nude self just now.

He said shamelessly, "What are you looking at? There's nothing to see anymore, go home and do what you have to do now."

Everyone took a step back in fear, but they still didn't retreat. Instead, more people came over.

"Young Master!"

Liu Ruxue walked lightly like a flower of the snow lotus and arrived in front of Song Shi bringing over a fragrance.

Her eyes were filled with joy, "Congratulations, Young Master. You've successfully reached the Foundation Establishment realm and even cultivated a Dharma Body. Your strength far exceeds ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Elder Yuan, Big Smart, and Mei Niang stood at the side with smiles.

"Thank you for guarding me for half a day."

Song Shi smiled at Elder Yuan and the other two. He walked over and held Liu Ruxue's hand then asked, "Shall we continue?"

Seeing Song Shi holding Liu Ruxue's hand and even hugging her waist, the crowd immediately exploded in gossip.

"Aiya, look, this isn't a Buddha. How can a Buddha be so intimate with women?"

"You're ignorant. Haven't you heard of the Joyful Buddha?"

At this moment, Song Shi also realized that his hair had been destroyed because it could not withstand the stronger Nine Yang Essence Energy and he had become bald. However, he still felt depressed that he was treated as a monk.

He carried Liu Ruxue and said as they walked, "Xue'er, do I look like a monk?"

Liu Ruxue looked at Song Shi with her beautiful eyes. She covered her mouth and smiled. "You really do look like a Buddhist disciple."

"…"

Song Shi scratched his head and coughed. "Let's not lower ourselves to these people's level. Let's leave quickly."

They tapped on the ground and flew up lightly, quickly leaving the crowd, leaving behind a group of people who were inexplicably excited to see them fly.

"Elder Yuan, I didn't delay your schedule, right?"

Song Shi looked at Elder Yuan apologetically. He was rather grateful that Elder Yuan had personally protected him.

"No, it's a surprise for us that Young Master Song can break through."

Just as Elder Yuan was about to mention the sect, a middle-aged man in government clothes walked over.

This person was in his forties. There were birds embroidered on the officials' clothes. He had a square face and wide ears. His eyes were slightly small and he walked with a majestic gait. Behind him were more than ten cultivators.

"I'm the prefecture leader of Silken City, Wang Huiwu. I'm here to invite Young Master Song to join my residence to train as one of my army."

Cultivator Army were a special army formed by cultivators. They belonged to the special military forces of Great Qian. Their role was different from departments like the Demon Slayers Division. They mainly target battles between cultivators.

"Not interested."

Song Shi could not be bothered to ask further and directly refused. He had already decided to be free and did not want to restrain himself.

The latter's smile froze, and he said meaningfully, "Are you going to the Yao Moon Palace? That's not a good place."

"Lord Wang, I don't like what you're saying. My Yao Moon Palace didn't attack you. Why are you badmouthing us?"

Elder Yuan retorted coldly.

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. I just feel that Young Master Song going to a sect with mostly female cultivators is not good for your health."

Wang Huiwu said meaningfully.

"I can handle it."

Song Shi patted his chest. How could a man back down in such a situation?

Wang Huiwu was speechless. Did this kid not know how dangerous those women in the Yao Moon Palace were?

"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first."

Elder Yuan's face was cold. She was unwilling to let Wang Huiwu continue to recruit Song Shi.

"Young Master Song is a cultivator was born from our Silken City. I wish you a smooth cultivation path. Come back more often when you're free. I'll definitely treat you to a banquet."

Wang Huiwu tactfully stopped persuading him and wished him well with a few lines.

"Young Master Song's identity in the Demon Slayers Division will be effective at any time."

A man beside Wang Huiwu spoke.

...

"Thanks a lot."

Song Shi cupped his fists and did not pay much attention to how generous they were being. The other party was only saying all these because he had reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

The five of them turned around and left. Wang Huiwu looked at Song Shi's back and narrowed his eyes.

"His Talent is indeed outstanding. I hope this kid doesn't join the Demon Cult. Otherwise, he will be a huge problem to us in the future."

Wang Huiwu muttered.

"I don't think so. After all, the demonic sect has killed many people from his family. However, the Yao Moon Palace is wavering. It's indeed very troublesome for them to sit this one out."

The commander of the Demon Slayers Division beside Wang Huiwu shook his head and expressed his opinion.

"We should tell the Lord about what happened. He also thinks quite highly of this kid."

Wang Huiwu brought his men back and reported Song Shi's insistence on going to the Yao Moon Palace.

When the white-robed scholar heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Young people are so naive. Don't he know that those women from the Yao Moon Palace are people who eat people without spitting out their bones?1 When his body is squeezed dry and his essence is emptied, he will regret it."

Everyone could not help but reveal a smile that all men understood.

...

"I can only say that this person is too entranced from being charmed by a woman and doesn't know that his life is in danger."

Wang Huiwu had a mocking expression on his face.

"I understand. Everyone, you can go off now. This is only one young genius. After we lost control of keeping tabs on the number of cultivators, many more will definitely appear. Don't worry too much."

The white-robed scholar waved his hand and let Wang Huiwu and the others leave.

After waiting for a moment, he muttered to himself, "Although there's no need to recruit this young man, the source of information on the Yao Moon Palace must be maintained. Feiyu, secretly develop Song Shi into a spy and keep an eye on the internal situation of the Yao Moon Palace. If they really have any thoughts on taking sides…"

The white-robed Confucian scholar paused for a moment and a cold light appeared in his eyes. "It's better to destroy them in advance than to be flustered about what to do when they join the rebel army in the future."

"Yes!"

A voice answered in the dark, then quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

The white-robed Confucian scholar opened a map and looked at the red area on it. He frowned.

"The rebels this time are different from before. They have no bottom line and are wreaking havoc everywhere. They're really not easy to deal with."

His gaze landed on the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range and something flickered in his dark gaze.
