What If I Can't Die? Chapter 29: 311-320, a 13 tzameti fanfic

311 As Long As You're Bold Enough, You Can Even Make Demons Take Maternity Leave Too

There was a side hall specially used to entertain guests. It was surrounded by pavilions, gardens, and waterside pavilions. The environment was elegant and beautiful. There were also beautiful palace maids serving by the side while enjoying the luxury and grandeur of the palace.

This was the first time Song Shi had come to the palace of this world. He could not help but take a few more glances and thought to himself that it was extravagant.

The ground here was paved with high-quality jade, and the materials used to build the house were precious wood. The former Song Family Manor paled in comparison, as if they were beggars.

"Senior Sheng Ming, Brother Chen, if there's anything, feel free to instruct the palace maids. I still have to preside over the court affairs. I'll take my leave first."

Seeing Qian Wuji leave in a hurry, Song Shi was suspicious. "Are these guys so busy? Why don't you, a Soul Transformation cultivator, entertain them more?"

Venerable Sheng Ming said indifferently, "There are internal and external problems in Great Qian right now. It's normal to be busy. But what are you trying to do by pretending to be Kong'er?"

"That's none of your business. You just have to listen to me."

Song Shi could not be bothered to say anything else. He was not prepared to bring Sheng Ming to investigate the Heavenly Prison. Instead, he left him here to guard the place.

He chose a room and walked in, restoring his original appearance. He casually threw out a few array flags to hide his fluctuations to avoid being spied on.

After doing this, he made a hand seal and began to tamper with the palace's array.

As the nest of the royal family of Great Qian, the arrays in the palace were very complicated. They had reached the sixth-grade and exceeded the standard of the normal Array Formations in this world.

Song Shi could not help but rejoice. "Fortunately, I'm not too rash. This array formation can even kill Soul Transformation cultivators. It's not easy to save Xiaoqin indeed."

It was true that he couldn't be killed, but if he really barged in, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Heavenly Prison. He would be killed countless times outside. At that time, if he really angered the royal family, he wouldn't be able to do anything if they directly killed Bai Xiaoqin.

Bai Yu'er, who had also returned to her original appearance, chimed in. "These dynasties have been established for thousands of years. Every generation will strengthen the Array Formations here. That's why I said that the Imperial City is dangerous. It's really comparable to those forbidden grounds and this doesn't include even the protection of the Numinous treasures yet."

"Their foundation is indeed deep. Those sects can't compare to him."

Song Shi nodded. "But give me some time. I can still secretly control this array formation after I learn."

Back then, he had been killed many times by Array Formations of the same level in the forbidden area of the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range. Song Shi had become a sixth-grade Array Formation Master and his knowledge was enough to deal with the Array Formations here. However, it would take some time.

Half a day later, when the sky was about to turn dark, Song Shi put down his hand and retracted his Nomological power. He smiled confidently. "I've already broken most of the Array Formations here. I can enter and exit without anyone noticing now."

Bai Yu'er stood at the side and said in admiration, "Young Master is really an all-rounder. There's nothing you can't do."

"Who said that? I don't know how to have children."

Song Shi denied it.

"I can help you."

Bai Yu'er blushed. Her shy look was especially tempting.

When Song Shi saw her beauty, he couldn't help but become excited. He chuckled and said, "Sure, but I wonder if we can give birth to children since we are of different species."

He was very curious about how demons gave birth to children with humans. Bai Yu'er was considered to have experience, so he did not mind giving it a try.

Although this woman can be considered his remarried wife, he had heard of many people remarrying in his previous life and Bai Yu'er was considered quite good in that aspect. Hence he could accept it and did not need to care about anything. Moreover, he only treated her as a sleeping partner.

The only concern was that he had killed this woman's child before, but she was actually willing to give birth to a child for him. He could not understand this kind of thinking.

Because of her different mindset and thinking, he didn't really want the other party to really give birth to his child.

Bai Yu'er shook her head. "It's very difficult. It's far more difficult than giving human powerhouses working together to give birth."

"Oh."

Song Shi was even more curious about how Bai Yu'er and Lu Bingxuan had given birth.

In the middle of the night, Song Shi finally could not help but say to Bai Yu'er, who was under his control, "I have a question. Even if I control you, I still killed your son. Why don't you hate me at all? Why do you still want to have a child with me?"

"I'm not human. Why should I hate Young Master?"

Bai Yu'er found it strange and voiced her thoughts. "Besides, that child was born from a human woman's stomach after Lu Bingxuan tricked me into giving birth to my essence and stole them away. He said that he wanted to nurture some descendant with the bloodline of the demon race. Our Snake Clan doesn't care much about the eggs we lay. Moreover my feelings were deceived by him, so I didn't care that he took my eggs. In the end, he really succeeded."

Song Shi exclaimed, "Isn't that a test tube baby?"

"What tube?"

Bai Yu'er did not understand.

"It's a kind of vessel to birth a baby, similar to a Furnace. Didn't you and Lu Bingxuan's use a woman's stomach to conceive your child?"

"Oh, so that's what it means."

Bai Yu'er was enlightened. "No wonder Lu Bingxuan said that it would be easier to nurture an outstanding demon like this back then. However, I don't think it was very successful. That child's personality was eccentric and extreme. I didn't even manage to protect him with a wisp of my Soul Clone."

When Song Shi heard this, he said, "Is this kind of thing common?"

"I'm not sure. I only know that someone from the Sky Demon Cult did this. Back then, after realizing that Lu Bingxuan was only using me, I didn't interact with them anymore. I don't know if they continued to do these things."

Bai Yu'er shook her head.

"It would appear that your son is most likely not the only test subject."

Song Shi frowned. He felt that it wasn't good for those Sky Demon Cult fellows to cross-breed with demons.

"Young Master, Yu'er really doesn't have any other intentions. I just admire Young Master's ability. I want to give birth to your child so that I can have a descendant to accompany me in the future."

Bai Yu'er thought that Song Shi was suspecting that she had ulterior motives and explained uneasily.

"You're thinking too much. I'm just curious. As for having a child with you, let's leave it to fate."

Song Shi did not care. He was already immortal. In fact, he even doubted if he could give birth.

If that was possible, it would be interesting. He would have to take care of his child when they are older in the future?

He was a little speechless just thinking about it.

"Then Young Master, do to me as you wish. It's difficult for demons and humans to produce offspring to begin with, especially when their cultivation levels get higher. As one's cultivation level rises, the difficulty of their ability to produce offspring will increase. Moreover given our two different species, the difficulty of producing offspring between us will increase exponentially. We can only rely on luck and the number of times we try by then."

Bai Yu'er said seriously.

"Well… Alright."

Song Shi was also prepared to give it a try.

Amongst his women, Bai Xiaoqin was a ghost. It was impossible for her to give birth to his child.

As for Liu Ruxue, who he had not seen for a long time, her cultivation level was too low compared to him. After thinking about it, he felt that this demonic woman beside him was the most suitable.

Bai Yu'er was overjoyed and promised, "Young Master, if I can really give birth to children, I will definitely raise them personally. I won't ignore them like before."

"…"

Song Shi felt more and more like he was in a dream. Why was he so bold? She was a demon and yet he actually wanted to impregnate her.

"As expected, as long as one is bold enough, he can even make a demon take maternity leave…"

He muttered and suddenly remembered something important.

He still had to save Bai Xiaoqin!

Releasing Bai Yu'er, Song Shi said, "It's late. Let's hurry up and investigate the Heavenly Prison."

He formed a seal and pointed at the ground. The Array Formation Power was mobilized, and circles of ripples appeared on the ground. He jumped off the bed, and as if a stream of water had entered, with a wave of fluctuation, he directly fused into it.

312 Visiting the Heavenly Prison at Night

It was not that Song Shi was tunneling underground, but that he was using the Array Formation Power to teleport.

In the glamorous Imperial City, there were spiderweb-like Array Formations.

In the dark, many people used the Array Formation to teleport in and out, transmitting all kinds of information, transporting supplies, and even prisoners. There were also royal nobles who quickly shuttled through places with the Array Formation.

Originally, Song Shi did not have the authority, but he could now break the array to allow himself in. He was like a hacker who secretly controlled some authority. As long as he did not go overboard, he could even enter and exit the Imperial City without anyone noticing and head to some important nodes on the array.

For example, the Heavenly Prison.

This place was also the focus of the Array Formation. It was located under the Imperial City and had accumulated the Yin energy of the entire Array Formation. It suppressed all kinds of prisoners and even demons and ghosts.

Even if Soul Transformation cultivators were locked up, they would not be able to escape. However, Song Shi secretly left with Bai Yu'er.

In a dark tunnel somewhere in the Heavenly Prison, there was only a candle burning. Suddenly, light flickered and two figures appeared.

"We can only go to the periphery. If we want to enter the depths through the Array Formation, we will be discovered by the person in charge of the array."

Song Shi's words broke the silence.

"Young Master is already very strong. If Yu'er faces this array formation, she will probably alarm others at the door."

Bai Yu'er smiled.

"Let's just take a look around first, we don't have the specific situation inside the Heavenly Prison. So we will have to spend time searching the jail cells one by one."

Song Shi took a few steps and came to a fork. Then, he was stunned.

There were a total of six paths in front of him. It could be seen how complicated this prison was.

"Looks like it's a maze."

Song Shi was speechless. He was momentarily at a loss.

"I can't use my thoughts to explore this place casually. I can only explore it bit by bit physically."

He had no choice but to use the Heavenly Talisman Technique to condense two Invisibility Talismans. One was for himself, and the other was for Bai Yu'er.

Soon, the light around them fluctuated and fused into the darkness.

"Let's go. The light here is dim, and we can't use our thoughts to investigate casually. It's very suitable for invisibility. As long as we don't encounter any special circumstances, it's very difficult to be discovered."

Song Shi randomly chose a tunnel and advanced. The passageways along the way were specially made. The material was as tough as diamond. Furthermore, he realized that the deeper he went, the sturdier it became. There was even Array Formation Power emanating from it.

After passing through a passage, the terrain suddenly opened up, and a stench came rushing in.

Cells appeared in front of him. There were two rows on the left and right. Some of them were empty, while others were holding either humans or demons.

Regardless of whether they were humans or demons, they were all as dispirited as frosted eggplants.

Song Shi swept his gaze around. There was no Bai Xiaoqin, so he skipped over.

"Ah!"

Screams came from the side, mixed with insults and torture. He walked over to take a look and saw that the prisoner was bloody beyond recognition.

Song Shi was not interested in watching any longer and continued walking.

Next, Song Shi saw the dark side of the rule of an empire. The underground spaces were scattered like beehives. They were either cells or execution grounds. Conservatively speaking, there were no less than one hundred thousand prisoners imprisoned.

"Compared to the survival of the fittest among us demons, you humans are actually more cruel. You won't kill anyone you catch. You would rather torture."

Bai Yu'er teased.

"The main thing is to maintain the imperial rule. Any person or demon imprisoned here is a manifestation of the rebellion against the rule."

Song Shi shook his head. "Let's try our best to go down. No matter what, Bai Xiaoqin is still considered my ghost. She should be valued more than them."

The distribution of cells on the same level was very complicated. It was normal for unfamiliar people to get lost. Song Shi could only try his best to go down and get to the bottom first.

The further down they went, the greater the pressure formed by the array. If not for Song Shi secretly controlling some of the array's authority, people who entered rashly without permission would be suppressed by the Array Formation Power to the point of being unable to move.

After descending countless levels, Bai Yu'er stopped in front of a cage. There was an exceptionally weak monkey whose body had been pierced through.

She said in surprise, "This is a guy with the Zhuyan bloodline. I heard that he was exterminated. I didn't expect him to be trapped here."

"Zhuyan? Oh he is a descendant of the Ancient Vicious beasts."

Song Shi took another look. It was a red-haired monkey that looked a little miserable.

"Young Master, look, there's also a Nine Nether Ghost Spider. Could it have been captured from the Heavenly Ghost Sect?"

Bai Yu'er said in surprise.

"That's most likely the case. The Great Qian Empire has accumulated a lot of resources during their expeditions."

Song Shi realized that the demons imprisoned in the depths of the Heavenly Prison had become more advanced. As for humans, their cultivation levels had also exceeded the Golden Core realm.

As he walked, he heard a woman's strange laughter. It was as sharp and unpleasant as a demon's.

Song Shi thought that someone had gone crazy from being locked up. In the end, he saw a woman who was not restrained squatting in front of a demon beast's corpse and eating crazily.

An unholy aura filled the air, and black tentacles emerged from the woman's body, making her look like a monster.

As if sensing something, the woman suddenly turned her head and sized up Song Shi and Bai Yu'er with her green eyes.

"Am I seeing things?"

The woman muttered and licked with her blood-red tongue. Her mouth was filled with sharp fangs as she lowered her head and continued eating.

Song Shi and Bai Yu'er quickly left and mobilized a portion of their Nomological powers to hide the fluctuations. "This woman almost sensed us. She looks quite strange, like a tentacle monster. Is this person a human or a demon?"

"They should be the descendants of both humans and demons."

Bai Yu'er's words made Song Shi frown. He continued deeper and encountered something similar.

This time, the intermix of species was even more obvious. It had a dog face and a human body. Even though it was chained up, it was tearing at the chains crazily, making cracking sounds.

"Looks like the Sky Demon Cult hasn't given up on nurturing these things."

Song Shi was deep in thought.

By daybreak, Song Shi still could not find Bai Xiaoqin. It was too complicated down there. Without using his thoughts, it was difficult to quickly find Bai Xiaoqin, whose whereabouts were unknown.

They had no choice but to return the way they came. When they passed by the tentacle-freak woman's cell, Song Shi was shocked to find that she was gone.

"Could it be that this Heavenly Prison has a leisure time for prisoners to be free too?"

Song Shi's expression was strange.

"Young Master, I feel a familiar aura, but I can't remember who it is."

Bai Yu'er frowned.

"It's fine if you can't remember. What happened here has nothing to do with us. It's better to leave quickly. Don't alert the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison later and affect our departure."

Song Shi waved his hand. They had to go to the periphery of the Heavenly Prison as soon as possible so they could use the Array Formation to leave and think of a way to find Bai Xiaoqin's exact location.

On their way back, Song Shi saw a prison guard following a leader. He looked at the jailer suspiciously.

Why did he feel that this prison guard's aura was very familiar?

An idea flashed through Song Shi's mind. He widened his eyes, "This is that strange woman?"

He looked at Bai Yu'er, who was also puzzled. He asked, "You noticed it too?"

"Yes, Young Master. This prison guard is a disguise by that woman just now, but the other person is the main point."

Bai Yu'er's expression was serious.

"It's a mole. Maybe we can catch him and ask him about Bai Xiaoqin's situation."

"Young Master, this person is a Guardian of Heavenly Devil Cult. I was wondering why I felt a familiar aura."

Bai Yu'er said something that Song Shi did not know.

"Guardian?"

Song Shi's interest was piqued. "First of all, let's eliminate Hong Luo because I killed her."

"This is Thousand Faces."

Bai Yu'er said firmly, "No wonder I haven't heard of his movements all these years. It turns out that he has long infiltrated the Imperial City and is even in the Heavenly Prison, one of the forbidden areas of Great Qian."

313 Eight Gates of Spirit Suppression (1)

"I've heard of this guy. My transformation technique seems to have came from him."

Song Shi felt that it was quite a coincidence. When he disguised himself and sneaked into the Imperial City, he encountered Thousand Faces, who was also disguised.

"No wonder when we saw this woman just now, she wasn't restrained and was still eating freely. She was probably disguised as a jailer by Thousand Faces."

Bai Yu'er was enlightened, "However, no matter how powerful he is, he can't compare to your invisibility and Array Formation techniques, Young Master."

"Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages. It's safe for us to be invisible, but we can't do much."

Song Shi looked at the two disguised people. "Change the plan and follow them. We should get in touch with this Thousand Faces."

The two of them hid in the dark and followed silently.

Ahead, the two men stopped and looked back.

"Sea Maiden, why do I feel like I'm being watched?"

Thousand Faces had a suspicious expression. The jailer he was disguised as was a bearded man in a green uniform. He had a short knife and a blood-colored token hanging at his waist. The token had the word 'Earth' engraved on it.

"You feel that way too?"

The prison guard, disguised by the woman beside him, looked gloomy. "Could it be that we've been discovered?"

"I don't think so. If we have been discovered, it wouldn't have been so quiet. Unless they are trying to catch a big fish."

Thousand Faces frowned. "Let's hope it's just our suspicions. Even if there's really someone watching in secret, since things have come to this, we can only brace ourselves and walk out."

"Yes, let's get out of here first. I've stayed in this godforsaken place long enough. I have to get out even if I die."

The woman called Sea Maiden by Thousand Faces had a face full of hatred and fear.

They sped up. Along the way, they encountered some prison guards, but Thousand Faces dealt with them.

"These two guys aren't simple. At the very least, their senses are very sharp. Don't go so near to them."

Song Shi knew that he could not get too close. Otherwise, they would be one hundred percent sure that someone was watching them.

After following them for fifteen minutes, Song Shi realized that Thousand Faces was indeed a spy. He was very familiar with the situation inside the Heavenly Prison, and the path he took was much shorter than when they came.

After fooling the various checkpoints, Thousand Faces brought the Sea Maiden directly to the exit of the Heavenly Prison. Strands of morning light scattered down from outside, making the eyes of the Sea Maiden, who had not seen the outside for a long time, light up with desire.

However, in front of the last exit, a visible Array Formation barrier sealed off the inside and outside. No less than ten guards stood silently. Only the commander beside him looked rather relaxed.

"Commander Zhang, we've applied for a monthly family visit leave. Please let us go, Brother Zhang."

Thousand Faces immediately smiled and was extremely polite.

"Brother He, the higher-ups have been very strict recently. If there's no need, it's best not to leave the Heavenly Prison, in case something happens."

The commander guarding the door glanced at the two of them lazily and did not notice anything amiss.

"The children in my brother's family and mine are newborns. We both want to see the children."

Thousand Faces cursed in his heart as he handed over a cloth bag. "Commander, please be magnanimous. Use this to treat our brothers to some wine."

When the commander saw the bulging cloth bag, a smile appeared on his face. He accepted it skillfully and teased, "That's better. Go back and take a look more often. If your son doesn't look like you, you will know earlier, haha."

He waved. "Open the temporary exit."

"Thank you, brothers. You've worked hard."

Thousand Faces smiled and bade farewell. He and the Sea Maiden successfully walked out of the Heavenly Prison, along with Song Shi and Bai Yu'er.

Outside the entrance was a cold and gloomy palace that looked abandoned. Walking out was a bamboo forest. The morning sun shone down, and the plants looked sickly. When the wind blew, fallen leaves flew.

Without another word, both sides quickly passed through the bamboo forest and arrived at the moat on the west side of the Imperial City. Beside the river was a city wall that was more than a hundred meters tall, like a behemoth lying dormant.

They continued to leave a little and arrived at a safe area. Only then did the Sea Maiden let out a sharp laugh with a slightly deranged expression. "I'm finally out. Those Qian bastards have tortured me for so many years. I'll make them pay the price!"

"You should go back and cooperate with the Sect Master and the others as soon as possible. Some of the guys over there need you to lead them, and two of my identities in the Heavenly Prison have been destroyed at once. It will take a lot of time to recover them."

Thousand Faces interrupted Sea Maiden's ruthless words.

"How many mutants have you cultivated over the years?"

"You'll know when you get back. Cut the crap and leave quickly. The Heavenly Prison will discover you at any time."

Thousand Faces was impatient.

"Then I'm leaving. Thank you for your help this time."

The Sea Maiden turned around and rushed out. She stuck close to the ground and left, without rising into the air.

Seeing the Sea Maiden leave, Thousand Faces muttered, "If not for the lack of people over there and Emperor Qian being busy with something, I wouldn't have taken the risk to save you from the Heavenly Prison."

He turned around and wanted to leave from the other side, but he realized that there was another person with him. Song Shi had already appeared and was waiting sideways.

Thousand Faces felt his hair stand on end. He squinted his eyes and looked at Song Shi's side profile. "Looks like I didn't sense wrongly. There are really people watching. Since you didn't make a move, you shouldn't be a lackey of Great Qian."

"I have two things to ask you. One is to ask for information and the other is to ask for your transformation divine art."

Song Shi said calmly, "As for the remuneration, you can request anything."

Thousand Faces sneered, "I don't know you. Why should I do these two things for you?"

"Because we're much stronger than you."

Bai Yu'er appeared on the other side. As her charming voice fell, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, making one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

314 Eight Gates of Spirit Suppression (2)

Thousand Faces was shocked as he recognized Bai Yu'er. "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

Bai Yu'er crossed her arms. "Thousand Faces, I know this is only one of your incarnations, but there's no need to destroy it for nothing, right? Listen to Young Master obediently. There are benefits for you."

Thousand Faces was even more shocked. He looked at Song Shi in disbelief. "Who are you?"

Song Shi turned around. "Tell me, what do you want?"

Thousand Faces recognized him immediately and was shocked. "Blood-Robed old ghost, weren't you captured by Bai Yu'er? Why did she call you Young Master?"

"You talk too much. Freeze him and bring him back. We'll talk about it when we get back."

Song Shi snorted and turned to leave.

Frost instantly appeared on Thousand Faces' body, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into ice. Bai Yu'er carried him and left with Song Shi.

Not long after they left, a few men in black rushed in with a hound.

"Wu wu wu~"

The hound sneezed. Then, as if it had sensed something, it trembled in fear and peed.

"Not good. Wanli was frightened and didn't dare to investigate."

"What a cold atmosphere!"

"Could it be that the vice sect master of the Demonic Sect is here to receive us? Report it quickly. This is not something we can chase."

The few pursuers tactfully stopped in their tracks and prepared to let the tall one continue investigating.

In the Guest Welcoming Hall.

This side hall could only be occupied when distinguished guests arrived. There were dozens of maids and eunuchs waiting to be arranged at any time.

"The guests this time are really quiet. They're not like those who like to mobilize people and run around."

"After all, they're all monks and nuns. They're probably staying in their rooms and chanting scriptures."

"This is good. They don't eat or drink so there won't be any trouble. We'll all be relaxed."

Just as the palace maids and eunuchs were secretly rejoicing, a bang sounded in the palace. An ice man was thrown to the ground, but his voice did not spread because of the Array Formation.

After Bai Yu'er removed the ice, Thousand Faces looked at Song Shi. "I know what you want. News about your maid, right?"

"Looks like you're smart enough, but you talk a lot of nonsense."

Song Shi looked up at Thousand Faces. To be able to infiltrate the Heavenly Prison, this person was not simple.

"I know where your damn maid is."

Thousand Faces had learned his lesson this time and went straight to the point. "I can tell you where she is and give you my transformation divine power, but you have to help me save another person in the Heavenly Prison. I don't need any other rewards."

"Saving people?"

Song Shi thought for a moment and nodded. "No problem. Tell me the location and I can bring them out for you."

Thousand Faces was slightly delighted, "I can tell you the location of your maidservant, but the divine power of myriad transformations will have to wait until you bring my person out."

"Sure."

Song Shi was not afraid that Thousand Faces would not give it to him. As an undying person, why would he be afraid that Thousand Faces would go back on his word?

If not for the fact that this person was not the original Thousand Faces and was not very strong and that he did not want to waste the Spirit Command Talisman, he would probably have tried to control him the moment they met.

Thousand Faces raised his hand and released white Nomological power, outlining a tower in the void.

The internal structure of this tower was complicated, and it was upside down. Song Shi was deep in thought. "This is the structure of the Heavenly Prison, right?"

"Yes, this Heavenly Prison was built according to a special suppression Dharma treasure. I heard that it's called the Eight Gates Spirit Suppression Tower. It seems to be a powerful Numinous treasure replica.

"It's different from those war Dharma treasures that fly in the sky. It doesn't have much offensive power, but its suppression power is especially terrifying. Even a Soul Transformation cultivator can forget about escaping."

"Eight Gates Spirit Suppression Tower… The name sounds quite domineering. Moreover, it's one with the array formation of the entire Imperial City. Its suppression is indeed terrifying."

Song Shi remembered this name.

"That's right. I heard that this Heavenly Prison was inherited from the previous dynasty. Its history is far longer than Great Qian. The eighteen levels inside are like the eighteen levels of hell. Once any demons or ghosts are locked up, they will never be able to come out without help."

He looked at Song Shi curiously. "I'm still very surprised that you guys can enter and leave without anyone noticing. I can only disguise myself as a prison guard to sneak in. You guys probably controlled a portion of the Array Formation, right?"

"This has nothing to do with you. Continue to tell me about the internal situation of the Heavenly Prison."

Song Shi wasn't interested in saying that he was a sixth-grade array master and that he was one of the few ones in the entire Boundless Continent.

Thousand Faces could guess that Song Shi was the person with the high-level Array Formation Ability as was impossible for Bai Yu'er, a demon, to be so powerful in Array Formation.

He said, "The Heavenly Prison is divided into eighteen levels. Each level is arranged with eight doors. The number of cells on each level is a multiple of eight. Each independent interior is divided into many cells. The lower the multiple, the smaller it is. In the end, the eight doors are combined, and the suppression power reaches the peak."

At this point, he pointed his finger at the top of the fallen tower meaningfully. "The person I want you to save is in the only cell of this floor. It's also the best cell, a high-grade spirit-level cell!"

"The guy suppressed in the deepest part!"

Song Shi was shocked. The Heavenly Prison had the strongest suppression power and was also the person in the deepest depths. He was a little speechless. "What are you trying to save? Could it be a Soul Transformation cultivator?"

"That's right, a Soul Transformation cultivator, a senior of my Heavenly Demon Cult has been suppressed inside for many years. I don't know the exact number of years, I only know that every generation of Sky Demon Cult's successor had tried to save him."

Thousand Faces nodded.

Bai Yu'er was deep in thought. "I've also heard of this rumor. I didn't expect it to be true. How powerful is the guy suppressed inside? He hasn't died after so many years?"

"No, this senior should be very powerful. If he can escape, Great Qian will definitely be destroyed!"

Thousand Faces looked confident.

Song Shi frowned. "Are you that confident that I can save him?"

"Your Array Formation level should be at the sixth-grade, and you can also become invisible. It will be much easier to save him. You only need to avoid the regular detection of the person in charge of the array and the patrol of the prison guards. It will definitely be easier than me. In fact, there are not many people in the Boundless Continent who are more suitable than you."

Thousand Faces was excited. "If you can do it, the entire Sky Demon Cult will be grateful. That senior will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

Song Shi looked at the collapsed tower constructed with Nomological power and felt that this matter was not that simple.

What was Bai Yu'er? She was a demon who had lived for more than a thousand years. Moreover, her legacy was not weak yet she had only heard rumors about this matter.

As for him, he had never heard of it.

On the other hand, Soul Transformation cultivators only had a lifespan of about two thousand years. From the sound of it, the seniors of the Heavenly Demon Cult had been suppressed for at least two thousand years. How could they not have died under such circumstances?

Interesting.

Song Shi was curious.

Thousand Faces continued, "In the vertical direction, the cells are divided into five levels: Spirit, Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow. Other than Spirit, which only have one level, the other four are divided into four levels. These five levels of Heavenly Prisons correspond to the Soul Transformation, Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refinement realms. The cells are basically locked according to each level. They will be adjusted according to the level of importance."

"As expected of an Earth-rank prison head. He knows these situations like the back of his hand."

Song Shi glanced at the token on Thousand Faces' waist.

"Of course. I had to advance one step at a time. It took me nearly a hundred years."

Thousand Faces looked a little smug. His finger changed again and landed on the 16th floor underground. "Your maid is locked in a top-notch heaven-grade cell. I'm not sure which cell it is. I can't come into contact with it yet. If not for this prisoner's special situation, I don't think I would have known that a mere Foundation Establishment realm ghost would be locked in a heaven-grade cell that only Nascent Soul realm cultivators or Big Ghost are qualified to enter."

The Big Ghost he was talking about was a classification of strength like ghosts. Little ghosts, Big Ghosts, Ghost Kings, Ghost Emperors, and Ghost Venerables were basically similar to Qi Refinement to Soul Transformation.

"Young Master, they are targeting you."

Bai Yu'er said, "It won't be easy to save her."

"Easier than the guy he's trying to save."

Song Shi shrugged. "If we really rescue that guy at the lowest level, it's probably equivalent to blowing up the Heavenly Prison."

"Don't worry, I'll help you secretly and create an opportunities for you."

Thousand Faces smiled and promised, "It's all thanks to Emperor Qian's busy cultivation. Over the years, our Sky Demon Cult has already infiltrated the Imperial City. As long as Your Excellency goes all out, the people we want to save and the maidservant you want to save can all successfully escape."

"I hope so."

Song Shi did not really believe Thousand Faces. He was even on guard around him. After all, Thousand Faces was a top-notch spy. He was definitely a sly old fox with a treacherous smile.

He was not in a hurry and said calmly, "You just saved someone. The Heavenly Prison is under martial law. We'll take action in two days. Tell me more about the situation in the Heavenly Prison and even the Imperial City."

"That's what I thought too." Thousand Faces heaved a sigh of relief. "Ask me whatever you want to know. I will tell you everything I know."

315 Princess Wu Xi (1)

When Song Shi learned about the situation through the Thousand Faces, the entire Imperial City had leapt into action.

A large number of troops were mobilized to help track down the mole. An hour later, someone came to the Guest Welcoming Hall.

The leader was afraid of Venerable Sheng Ming and did not dare to enter to search. After asking the palace maids and eunuchs and learning that these guests were very quiet, he returned to report.

Half a day later, a group of people arrived at the door. The leader had bright eyes, white teeth, and a noble temperament. Her red lips parted slightly. "Venerable Sheng Ming, Senior Brother Chen, Princess Wuxi has come to pay her respects."

In the palace, Song Shi opened his eyes. "They still came. Did they find any clues or is it to do a routine check?"

"Wuxi is Emperor Qian's most doted on and most outstanding daughter. She's very good at reading people's hearts. Young Master, it's best if you don't speak too much."

After Thousand Faces reminded them, he hurriedly retreated. Bai Yu'er thought for a moment and did not stay as well.

Song Shi stood up and walked out of the palace. His eyes lit up.

A tall and slender woman wearing a tight-fitting silver silk dress walked over.

Her entire body seemed to be glowing. She could be said to be a peerless beauty as she stood elegantly.

Under the sunlight, her skin and bones were crystal clear. Her face was exquisite and flawless. Her beauty was enough to make the sun and moon lose their color.

"No wonder you're called Wuxi. Princess, when you stand here, even the sunlight seems dim"

Song Shi praised her. If Bai Xiaoqin was a pretty girl from a humble family, she would give people a sense of closeness. Liu Ruxue was cold like a snow lotus flower, and there was a hint of immortality in her white jade charm. Lu Youyou was a little eccentric, and Chen Yiling was full of heroic spirit. Then, this woman was especially sunny and noble, making people look up to her.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Chen to have such a sweet mouth. I thought that Senior Brother was a solemn person who cultivated Buddhism all year round."

Wu Xi had a smile on her pretty face as she walked over with light steps. The emerald jade hairpin on her beautiful hair swayed with golden beads as she walked over with a faint fragrance.

Song Shi knew that he would expose himself sooner or later, so he followed his heart. "Cultivating Buddhism is not like reading a dead book. Besides, Buddhism emphasizes on fate. When we meet someone fated, we naturally have a glib tongue."

"Senior Brother Chen is really interesting."

Wu Xi pursed her lips and smiled. Her bright eyes swept across the surroundings without a trace and she said with a smile, "Senior Brother and Venerable Sheng Ming, are you used to living here?"

"I haven't met any fated person for a few days. I'm not used to it."

Song Shi was complaining.

Wu Xi felt strange. Why did she feel that this guy was so indecent? Was this the standard of all the descendants of Sand Country?

She took a few more glances at Song Shi, "Senior Brother Chen doesn't give Wuxi the feeling of a monk at all."

"It's called returning to my basic instinct."

Song Shi pressed his palms together, "Amitabha. Is this the only way to look like a monk?"

Wu Xi felt that this person was more and more indecent. Her beautiful eyes swirled. "Anyone would say that. The key is whether the Buddhist Dharma is profound or not. Coincidentally, I have no time to study the Buddhist Dharma. I have to discuss it with Senior Brother Chen later."

Song Shi was secretly speechless. What did he know about bullsh*t Buddhist Dharma? If they really discussed it, he would definitely be exposed.

But he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod, "No problem, I've been studying the Six Paths of Reincarnation recently, and I want to discuss it with others."

"Six Paths Reincarnation? Senior Brother Chen's research is very deep."

Wu Xi praised, "Before that, I wonder if I can pay my respects to Venerable Sheng Ming? I don't want to be rude."

"Sure, Master is here."

Song Shi led Wuxi to another room in case the other party noticed that Thousand Faces was inside.

Wu Xi took a deep look at the room and did not force her way in. She would have plenty of time to discuss the Buddhist Dharma later.

She followed Song Shi to visit Venerable Sheng Ming.

"I still don't know why Senior Brother Chen and the others have come to the Qian Nation. Father and the others are currently in seclusion to break through. I'm afraid they won't be able to receive you for a while."

Wu Xi began to inquire.

Song Shi casually made up a story. "We came here this time to form a marriage alliance with your country. I think you're not bad. When we meet Emperor Qian, we'll choose you, Princess Wuxi."

"…"

Wu Xi was silent. How did she manage to cause trouble for herself?

"Princess Wuxi, do you mind if I'm a monk? You don't have to worry. The successor of Sand Country is required to get married and have children."

Song Shi teased.

Wu Xi smiled awkwardly. "No, I have to listen to my father's arrangements. I can't make the decision by myself."

She was a little flustered. If a Venerable came to propose marriage personally, there was a high chance that she would be sent away by her father for a marriage alliance.

How could a woman like her be calm about this kind of relationship for the rest of her life? Unknowingly, Song Shi had disrupted her plans and disturbed her thoughts.

"Master, Princess Wuxi wishes to pay her respects to you."

Song Shi said to the room.

"Come in."

Venerable Sheng Ming had no choice but to cooperate with Song Shi's act. He pretended to sit on the mat and accept Princess Wu Xi's greeting.

After interacting with him and confirming that he was really the abbot of the Sand Country's Great Light Temple, she panicked even more.

After the greeting, Song Shi invited, "Since Princess Wuxi is interested in Buddhism, why don't you come to my room and discuss it in detail?"

"This… I remember that I still have some matters to attend to. How about I come back to look for Senior Brother after I'm done with them?"

At this moment, Wu Xi was no longer in the mood to discuss Buddhism. She wanted to go and have some peace.

"Then come back when you have time."

Song Shi watched as Princess Wuxi left. Some experts who had secretly come over also retracted their gazes and retreated one after another.

"I haven't found anything yet, but I can't hide for long. I have to act as soon as possible."

Song Shi walked back to his room and formed a seal to inspect the Array Formation. Then, his expression changed. "The changes in the Array Formation are huge. It will take time to crack it again."

Thousand Faces had taken the prisoners away from the Heavenly Prison, alarming the higher-ups of the country. They were reorganizing everything inside and outside.

Song Shi became much more careful this time. He reckoned that the person in charge of the array would not be bad. He could not risk failing miserably this time.

On the other side, Wu Xi took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

She frowned and pondered. "That's strange. Our country doesn't have a tradition of marriage alliances with Sand Country. Why is there no sign of this matter at all? Why did they propose it so unilaterally?"

Her expression changed as she looked somewhere, "Father and the others are busy refining Numinous treasures and there's a problem in the Heavenly Prison. It's better not to concern them with this for the time being."

Her expression gradually restored to normal and she said, "Pay more attention to them recently. Although we haven't discovered anything for the time being, something happened to the Heavenly Prison as soon as they arrived. We have to be careful."

"Yes, Princess."

A voice answered in secret, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.

In the room, Bai Yu'er walked out, "Young Master, there are many spies outside. Will we be discovered if we activate the Array Formation now?"

"It's fine. I've already have some methods from breaking the array previously. Even if the Array Formation has changed, it won't be difficult to break it again. As long as they don't come in, it'll be very difficult for them to discover us."

"It is Yu'er who was overthinking." When Bai Yu'er saw Song Shi's confidence, she chuckled and quietly observed the array formation.

Two days later, Song Shi's eyes lit up. "It's done. Some time has passed, and the Heavenly Prison should have calmed down a little. Let's go again and bring Thousand Faces along."

In the corner, Thousand Faces, who had been frozen into ice, was thawed. He said bitterly, "Can you not do this next time? You make me look like a criminal and instead of working with you."

316 Surprise!

"You weren't working with me in the first place. At the very most, we are only working together because we have a deal."

Song Shi replied coldly. He made a hand seal and tapped the ground. He activated the Array Formation's Teleportation power and left silently with the three of them, avoiding the eyes and ears guarding outside.

Heavenly Prison.

Wu Xi was dressed in black and had her hair tied up. She looked especially capable.

"Your Highness, this way please."

The heavenly guard leading the way led her to a wide cell. Inside, there was only a tattered puppet.

The strange thing was that this puppet was entangled by the chains, as if they were afraid that it would escape.

At this moment, the chain shook, and a delicate face appeared on the puppet's head. She looked at the noble Wu Xi and asked, "Who are you?"

"Sister, don't be nervous. I'm not here to torture you."

Wu Xi waved her hand and let the Heavenly Guards leave, leaving only a hunched old man behind.

She crossed her arms and said confidently, "I know your identity. You're the daughter of a rich family in Jinzhou. Unfortunately, your entire family was killed by the Hundred Ghosts Daoist and you became a ghost. The strange thing is that you were actually taken in by the Blood-Robed old ghost."

Bai Xiaoqin looked at Wu Xi without saying a word. She felt that this woman was not simple.

"Don't you think it's a coincidence? This Blood-Robed old ghost once possessed Song Shi, a rich young master from Jin City. Coincidentally, this Song Shi seems to have an engagement with you, but it hasn't been decided yet. If I hadn't asked more people, I wouldn't have known that you two had such a relationship."

Wu Xi looked at Bai Xiaoqin playfully and walked closer. She stared into Bai Xiaoqin's eyes. "Can you tell me what your relationship with the Blood-Robed old ghost is? Is this Blood-Robed old ghost Song Shi, or is he really that demon who kills people like flies?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Bai Xiaoqin subconsciously avoided her gaze.

Compared to Princess Wuxi, who had grown up in the palace and experienced many troublesome matters, Bai Xiaoqin was still too naive.

Her reaction basically told Princess Wuxi that there was definitely something wrong with this Blood-Robed old ghost. He was most likely not that demon.

"As expected, you know some of his secrets. If you're willing to tell me some, I can guarantee that your soul won't dissipate. How about that?"

Princess Wu Xi said with a threatening expression.

"I really don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a maid of the Blood-Robed old ghost."

Bai Xiaoqin retreated back into her Battle Puppet, not wanting to face Wuxi.

"Heh heh, the Blood-Robed old ghost is willing to give such a high-level puppet to a maidservant? I heard that you even used a Teleportation Talisman when you were escaping. If you didn't have any special relationship, would he be so generous?"

Wu Xi smiled mockingly. "Back then, you were only a little ghost equivalent to a cultivator at the Qi Refinement. Why did he care so much about you?"

Wu Xi's words made Bai Xiaoqin especially nervous. She did not say a word and was even prepared to not reveal anything even if she was beaten to death.

"You don't have to say anything else. For your matter, I specially investigated some clues and basically confirmed that the Blood-Robed old ghost is actually your fiancé. He's not the original Blood-Robed old ghost, nor is he the Ye Wenzhong who took the initiative to possess him."

Wu Xi chuckled with a determined expression.

"No, Elder is not Song Shi. Don't make wild guesses."

Bai Xiaoqin said anxiously. She actually did not know the exact situation, but she also understood that it was impossible for the Blood-Robed old ghost to treat her like this. After Wuxi's deduction, she was completely certain.

However, she knew that this was not a good thing for Song Shi, so she chose to deny it.

"This person is indeed full of mystery. I wonder if he will take the risk to save you."

Wu Xi sighed. "I don't think so. This is the Heavenly Prison. It's comparable to a forbidden area. No matter how capable he is, he can forget about coming here."

She was rather curious about how Song Shi had avoided being possessed by two powerhouses and how he was so capable.

Ever since she heard that her brother had suffered at this person's hands, she had been secretly investigating. Although she had not met him yet, she knew some information.

This person gave her the feeling that the more she investigated, the more mysterious he became. The more she speculated, the more unbelievable it was.

She thought, "I really want to meet this Song Shi personally."

When Bai Xiaoqin heard this, she had mixed feelings. She was happy that Song Shi did not have to take the risk, but she was also sad that she would die here.

After obtaining the information she wanted to know, Wu Xi said to the old man beside her, "Teacher Gong, take a look at this puppet. Can it be duplicated? If it can be duplicated, it can produce many powerful helpers."

"It's difficult to replicate it completely in a short period of time. It shouldn't be a problem if we spend more time."

The old man had been studying the puppet and gave his judgment.

"What we lack is time. Currently, the various states look peaceful, but in reality, they are gradually losing control. Too many people want to be feudal lords or even establish themselves as emperors. Sky Demon Cult has also created a bunch of demons, I wonder if we can make it in time."

At this point, Wu Xi turned around. "Continue your research. Bai Xiaoqin, you're more familiar with the puppet. I hope you can cooperate. I can help make you suffer less."

As she walked towards the door, her nostrils suddenly twitched. Then, she left quietly.

The hunchbacked old man squatted down and began to study the Battle Puppet. After looking at it for a moment, a cold aura descended from above his head, causing his back to turn cold.

Before he could react, he was frozen by Bai Yu'er. She walked out and looked at the puppet. She smiled and said, "So this is Young Master's wife. Greetings from Yu'er."

Bai Xiaoqin popped her head out in shock. She looked at Song Shi, who was slowly appearing beside Bai Yu'er, and cried tears of joy. "Elder."

"I was late."

Song Shi felt guilty. If not for the fact that he had wasted too much time in the Spirit Land and the Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider, Bai Xiaoqin would not have been captured here.

"Elder, I'm too stupid," Bai Xiaoqin blamed herself.

"Don't cry. I'll get you out."

Song Shi walked towards the chain. After grabbing it, the Supreme Yang True Fire that he had just cultivated fused with the sword aura and began to cut the chain. Coupled with his powerful physical strength, one of the chains broke with a crack.

Just as he was about to break the second chain, a terrifying pressure appeared out of thin air. The entire cell lit up and was sealed.

Bai Yu'er became nervous. "Young Master, something doesn't seem right."

Song Shi was shocked, "How did you discover it? I didn't activate the Array Formation!"

He turned his head in confusion. Wuxi and the others happened to appear and stopped at the door.

"Should I call you Senior Brother Chen, Blood-Robed old ghost, or Young Master Song?"

Wu Xi sized up Song Shi, looking like victory was in her grasp.

"You have some skill."

For the first time, Song Shi took this woman seriously. Other than her top-notch looks and temperament, her methods were not simple.

Wu Xi smiled at Song Shi. "Young Master Song, are you surprised? Are you surprised that I could actually sense your arrival?"

"I'm a little surprised. I thought that cracking and controlling a portion of the Array Formation would be foolproof. I didn't expect you to notice me."

Song Shi said in admiration, "Let me think about it. The way you discovered me should be through the smell, right?"

He quickly checked his own situation. The Array Formation did not change much, and the Invisibility Talisman was not something that the other party could easily detect.

He raised his hand and smelled the clothes. There was a faint fragrance. This was not his, but from this princess.

"Young Master Song's reaction is really fast. That's right, it's the fragrance. The spices I've been using recently are very special, but they won't dissipate for a hundred days."

Wu Xi smiled.

Song Shi was enlightened. "You've been suspecting me for a long time?"

"When something happens, no matter who it is, it's suspicious, especially people like you who are already strange."

m317 Sky Demon Saint (1)

"I'm in charge of the Inspection Department and have access to all kinds of information in the world. Even if I don't meet people in person, I can still have a certain understanding of certain people based on all kinds of information. The Sand Country's Crown Prince you're pretending to be isn't someone who talks nonsense."

Wu Xi looked like she was in control of everything. "It's just that I feel that Sheng Ming is real since I saw him with my own eyes before when I was young. Can you tell me how he disguised himself? This is the first time I've encountered something that even my spiritual eye can't tell."

Song Shi could not help but look at Wuxi's eyes. Previously, he only felt that they were as bright as stars and filled with spirituality. At this moment, they were even more dazzling. Runes jumped and formed an Array Formation-like spirit pattern.

Runes, spirit patterns, and spirit arrays corresponded to Dharma Bodies, Spirit Bodies, and Divine Bodies.

The spirit patterns in the woman's eyes formed a faint array. This was something at the level of a Spirit Body or even a Divine Body. It was just that the other party's power was limited to her eyes.

However, Song Shi knew that the more power condensed, the more powerful it became. This woman's eyes were definitely comparable to Dharma treasures or even Numinous artifacts.

He collected his thoughts and said calmly, "Your eyes are indeed powerful. As for the reason why you can't see through Venerable Sheng Ming, it's very simple. It's because he's real."

Wu Xi's phoenix eyes narrowed. She was shocked. Could it be that Sand Country was also taking action against them?

Crack!

Song Shi turned around and broke another chain. Bai Yu'er also helped. In the blink of an eye, the chains binding Bai Xiaoqin were all destroyed.

"Elder."

Bai Xiaoqin rushed out and hugged Song Shi with tears in her eyes.

"You don't have to waste your energy. After all, you're all staying here today."

Wu Xi's expression was cold. "Now that the power of the array has completely sealed this place, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings. If you don't want to suffer, I suggest you surrender."

"Young Master, what should we do?"

Bai Yu'er was also a little flustered. She knew how powerful the Heavenly Prison's Array Formation was. Not to mention that they were underground now, even without the Array Formation, it would be difficult to break through the layers of obstacles and get out.

"Take Xiaoqin away later and meet up with Venerable Sheng Ming. Leave the Imperial City and wait for me in your nest."

Song Shi transmitted his voice secretly. He was not afraid of the current situation, but Bai Xiaoqin and the rest were. He had to send them out first.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly formed a seal. Runes quickly condensed and landed in the nearby Void.

The array's light immediately squirmed. Even if the person in charge of the array was secretly sealing it with the Array Formation Power and changing the array's operation, he, Song Shi, could still affect it.

"Hurry up and seal the Teleportation channel. We can't let them leave with the help of the Array Formation Power!"

Wu Xi hurriedly gave the order. She should be communicating with the person in charge of the array.

"It's been sealed for a long time. It's been sealed since that demoness escaped. He's only weakening the sealing power of the Array Formation. Princess, retreat quickly. They might hurt you."

An old voice sounded out of thin air, reminding Princess Wuxi to stay away from Song Shi.

However, Song Shi did not attack. Instead, he raised his hands and gathered his Nomological power crazily, quickly condensing two silver talismans.

The moment the talisman was formed, space fluctuated, and a powerful spatial teleportation power was released, forming circles of ripples.

"Condensing a talisman with his bare hands? What kind of divine power is this?!"

Wu Xi, who had just taken a step back, was shocked. In her understanding, talismans had to be drawn on talisman paper. This was the first time she had seen someone condense them out of thin air.

"Princess, this is bad. This is a top-notch divine power in the Dao of Talismans. It can draw talismans out of thin air. He's drawing a Teleportation Talisman and wants to escape."

The person in charge of the array saw through Song Shi's plan and hurriedly activated the Array Formation to stop him. However, he realized that the Array Formation near Song Shi was not under his Crowd Control.

Ads by Pubfuture

"Teleportation Talisman? Isn't this a high-level talisman? He can actually draw it out of thin air?"

Wu Xi exclaimed and said anxiously, "Hurry up and seal the space."

"Princess, he interfered with the Array Formation. I need some time to regain control."

At this moment, Song Shi slapped the talisman on Bai Yu'er and Bai Xiaoqin's bodies and shouted, "Go!"

He activated the talisman and a crack appeared in the distorted space. A silver light shone brightly and wrapped around the two of them. They turned into a ray of light and shot towards the spatial crack, disappearing in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, only Song Shi and the tattered Battle Puppet were left in the cell. Song Shi took a deep breath, "Damn it, drawing two Teleportation Talismans in one go is so tiring."

The Teleportation Talisman involved space. Although its level was not higher than the Spirit Command Talisman, the Dharmic powers required were very terrifying. After all, it needed to open space. If he had not reached the Nascent Soul realm and his Nomological power was comparable to that of a Soul Transformation cultivator, he would not have been qualified to draw such a talisman with his bare hands.

Even though he had drawn it, the nine Nascent Souls in his body were dim and exhausted.

He was not in a hurry to escape. Apart from the fact that he would not die, his Nomological power had been mostly exhausted after drawing two Teleportation Talismans. He no longer had the strength to condense a new Teleportation Talisman.

Just as Song Shi was panting from exhaustion, the chaotic power of the array formation around him began to recover. The person in charge of the array formation in the dark was regaining control of the nearby area and sealing the space again.

"Princess, the space has been sealed. Fortunately, he didn't escape."

The person in the dark heaved a sigh of relief.

Wu Xi's forehead was also covered in cold sweat. If she still let Song Shi escape under such circumstances, it would be a huge loss. This would then be difficult for her to report.

"Young Master Song, you really keep surprising me. In comparison, the surprise I gave you just now is really nothing."

Wu Xi looked at Song Shi deeply, her eyes shining. She wished she could see through this person completely.

"There's still more surprises to come. Don't make a fuss."

Song Shi's breathing gradually calmed down. He looked at Princess Wuxi, who had yet to leave. "Your Highness, you can't lock me up. It's better not to waste time on me, lest you lose too much."

318 Sky Demon Saint (2)

Hearing the hidden meaning in Song Shi's words, Princess Wuxi frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Your attention is on me and the Array Formation Power is also directed at me. The sealing and suppression power of the other places has weakened. He probably doesn't need my help anymore. He should have found his target."

Song Shi crossed his arms and said with interest, "I'm very curious. Who is suppressed at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison that is worth Sky Demon Cult thinking of ways to save, even at the expense of rebellion?"

"What!"

Princess Wu Xi's expression changed drastically as she stared fixedly at Song Shi. "You definitely won't say that for no reason. Could it be that you helped someone to the lowest level of the Heavenly Prison?"

Since Song Shi could bring people in silently, he could naturally help others as well. If he really helped the people from Sky Demon Cult to the bottom…

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly sounded in his ears. The person who was in charge of the array just now said in shock and anger, "Evil creature, you actually ambushed your own master!"

"Old man, who treats you as a master? If it wasn't to save the Sky Demon Saint, why would I be your disciple for three hundred years?"

Another voice transmission with a sinister smile sounded. He was rather smug. "Haha, I finally got a chance. Blood-Robed old ghost, thank you very much. You can continue to stay there and help me share the Array Formation Power."

"Who are you!"

Cold sweat broke out on Princess Wu Xi's forehead. "Do you know what you've done? If you release this ferocious demon, the people will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering. Even this world will not be stable!"

"Hehe, I'm the clone of Thousand Faces. Remember, I'm the one who broke your Heavenly Prison, haha."

When Song Shi heard this, he frowned. "Thousand Faces, the person you saved is called the Sky Demon Saint? From the way he addressed him, he doesn't sound like a Soul Transformation cultivator. Could he be a Saint that only existed in ancient times?"

The last time he came into contact with Sage King Lang Ya, Song Shi found out that this world came from the ancient times. Because the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was still relatively rich, and there were Void Refinement experts born, such existences were first-rate Sages in this world, and they were mostly called Sages.

In other words, Thousand Faces was not saving the Soul Transformation cultivator he thought he was. Moreover, this saint had surpassed the Soul Transformation realm and was a Void Refinement True Sage or Void Breaking Martial Sage who should no longer exist in this world.

"That's right, Blood-Robed old ghost. It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have had a chance."

Thousand Faces said excitedly, "Bringing the Demon Saint out of this predicament means that he will be the only Saint in this era. The entire world will belong to our Sky Demon Cult."

Song Shi was stunned, "You're quite arrogant. You actually want to unify the entire world."

Princess Wuxi's body trembled. "If the demon escapes, it can really be done. Men, quickly capture this Thousand Faces and stop him from destroying the Array Formation."

She did not expect the Thousand Faces to have penetrated so deeply. He had already blended into the crowd of the main formation and caused huge damage to the suppression power of the Heavenly Prison.

Boom!

The entire Heavenly Prison shook violently. A terrifying aura surged below, and the Array Formation trembled.

Ads by Pubfuture

"Oh no, that demon has awakened. Quickly inform Father!"

Wu Xi's face turned pale. No matter how many schemes she usually had, they were useless at this moment.

She crushed a jade pendant in a panic and notified the Qian powerhouses.

Song Shi felt the aura at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison and could not help but tense up.

He looked around in shock. The space had actually become unstable. And it was completely because of the power at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison.

"It actually affected space. Is this the strength of a Void Refinement Realm powerhouse? He's actually still so powerful after being suppressed for so many years?"

Song Shi could not calm down. He heard that after Soul Transformation, cultivators had two paths.

He could use his body to shatter the void or refine a piece of the void. In any case, he was an expert who could affect space. Now, he had actually experienced some of it.

"Song Shi, you're actually helping them. Do you know what you're doing?"

This was the first time Wu Xi felt so powerless. She attacked Song Shi as soon as she caught him.

"I only asked Thousand Faces to give me Bai Xiaoqin's location. Furthermore, I only gave him an Invisibility Talisman, making it difficult for the Array Formation to detect him."

Song Shi shrugged. "As for releasing this Demon Saint, I haven't even done it yet, but he's already impatient to make a move. He really doesn't believe in me."

"No matter what, you have made a huge mistake. You have no idea how terrifying this Demon Saint is!"

Princess Wu Xi gritted her teeth.

"Yeah, I really don't know."

Song Shi nodded and said very sincerely, "Can you tell me more?"

Princess Wu Xi widened her eyes. This fellow was still so shameless. She was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

When Song Shi was sealed by Thousand Faces with the Transfer Array Formation Power. At the bottom of them, on the last floor of the Heavenly Prison.

There was a huge Eight Trigrams pattern here. On the pattern were eight Dharma Treasure arrays of different Stats. In the center of the pattern, chains wrapped around a withered body.

This body was covered in dense demonic patterns. It looked like a human, but there was a pair of red horns on its head. Its hair was disheveled, and its appearance could not be seen clearly.

At this moment, he was opening his mouth and crazily devouring a blood-red stream of air, mixed with blood and souls. With every mouthful he swallowed, the demonic patterns on his body became deeper and deeper, and his aura became even more terrifying.

Splash!

The chains that sealed him were trembling violently. Suddenly, one of them was broken, and the fluctuations caused by it shook the entire Heavenly Prison.

Outside the Eight Trigrams Diagram, Thousand Faces' incarnation had a fanatical expression. "Lord Demon Saint, please forgive my incompetence. I can only provide you with these low-level demonic qi and soul blood essence. However, I've already interfered with the Array Formation and destroyed the eight Spirit Suppression Array Formations, destroying a main Array Formation treasure. With Lord Demon Saint's strength, you will definitely be able to escape."

"Very good!"

Ads by Pubfuture

Demon Saint opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears, like two rusty nails rubbing against each other, making one's hair stand on end.

He slowly raised his head, and his blood-red eyes absorbed the light like a black hole. He opened his mouth and sucked with all his might.

In the hands of the Thousand Faces incarnation, a black bottle trembled, releasing more demonic aura, blood essence, and soul, which could replenish the Demon Saint's essence, qi, and spirit.

In the depths of the Imperial City, in another forbidden area, there was a unique space. At this moment, flames danced in the sky, and there was a faint dragon roar.

Above the flames, a black dragon kept rolling and swimming, emitting a powerful aura.

In the center of the black dragon, a black Spear was transforming. Dense runes formed and separated again. These runes circulated, as if it was nurturing some life.

Emperor Qian and the other two white-haired elders formed seals and released Nomological powers. They stimulated the flames under the black dragon and kept refining this Dharma treasures.

Suddenly, a beam of light flew out from Emperor Qian's body and shattered, sending out a message.

Emperor Qian's body trembled as he opened his eyes. "Damn it, what's going on? He actually let the Sky Demon Cult destroy the Heavenly Prison and is saving the Sky Demon Saint."

The other two old men's beards trembled as they opened their eyes in shock.

"The Heavenly Prison has always been airtight. How could it be destroyed?"

"This is troublesome. We are at the final juncture of refining Numinous treasure. If we escape to suppress the fiend, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

The two elders of the Imperial Family had ugly expressions.

"Those guys must have predicted that we were refining the Black Dragon Spear and wanted to release that old thing."

A cold glint flashed across Emperor Qian's eyes. "Originally, that old thing would have been suppressed to death in a few hundred years. I didn't expect to have given him a chance to escape. If he really escapes, the foundation of Great Qian will be destroyed."

He slowly stood up. "You two stay here to stabilize the Numinous treasures and delay the final spirit formation process. I'll do my best to preside over the situation."

"That's the only way. Your Majesty, be careful. Since Sky Demon Cult has already done this, they must have made ample preparations."

One of the elders reminded.

Emperor Qian nodded and turned to walk out of the refining space for Numinous treasures. A man in black was already waiting for him.

This person looked ordinary, but he had a dignified aura, as if he was the only one in the world. He was actually not at a disadvantage when facing Emperor Qian.

"Qian Yuanlong, since you want to refine Numinous treasures, refine them well. Why did you come out?"

The man in black sneered.

"Heavenly Devil Cult's Sect Master!"

Emperor Qian stared at the latter. "Yu Hua, you've indeed reached the Soul Transformation realm!"

"How can I stop you if I'm not at the Soul Transformation realm?"

Black demonic flames burned on the Demon Venerable Yu Hua's body. "It's been three hundred years since we last fought. I wonder if your Dragon Power Technique can still suppress my Heavenly Demon Art?"

319 A Huge Mistake (1)

"If I could suppress you back then, I can naturally suppress you for a lifetime!"

Emperor Qian stood with his hands behind his back with a confident expression.

"Back then, you relied on the power of Dharma treasures and the power of the Array Formation to defeat me. How dare you say you can suppress me for the rest of my life?"

Demon Venerable Yu Hua could not help but laugh. "When the Sky Demon Saint comes out and breaks your array formation and destroys your Dharma treasure, let's see what you can use to fight me!"

"Yu Hua, he's not of our race. His intentions are definitely different. Do you really like being a dog so much?"

Emperor Qian looked down at Demon Venerable Yu Hua with a condescending gaze, "Although tens of thousands of years have passed, I don't believe that you don't know the general situation. If not for the last Saint of this world appearing and suppressing him here at the price of his life, preparing to slowly obliterate him, we wouldn't have had the chance to be born."

His words seemed to be related to a piece of ancient history. The experts of Great Qian nearby were at a loss.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think this world should be like this. I think it's better to connect to the Heavenly Demon Realm and turn this place into a purgatory. When the time comes, I'll be the one who will change the world."

Demon Venerable Yu Hua revealed his plan with a smile, making everyone's hair stand on end.

This person actually wanted to destroy this world. Was he still human? He was really a devil from head to toe.

"Change the world? I think you think you're going to the Heavenly Demon Realm sooner or later because you cultivate the demonic path. You just want to find yourself a support in advance, right? How hypocritical."

Emperor Qian sneered and released a powerful pressure. The Void trembled non-stop, and the aura it emitted made him seem like the Juggernaut of Heaven and Earth.

The Nomological power in his body was unfathomable. As it surged, it turned into a long dragon and soared into the sky. His voice was like rolling thunder. "You won't be able to change the world. Come up and die!"

Soul Transformation powerhouses could already control the power of heaven and earth. Their every move was extremely destructive. Even if the Imperial City was protected by an Array Formation, if they fought on the ground rashly, the aftershocks could still kill many innocent people and even destroy this city. He naturally did not want to fight in the city.

Demon Venerable Yu Hua chuckled, "Who do you think you are? Why do I have to listen to you?"

His eyes were cold as he reached out and crushed a Golden Core cultivator to death.

The others were incomparably shocked. This person actually didn't play by the rules. A dignified Soul Transformation cultivator actually attacked weaklings like them. All of them were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.

Splat!

Demon Venerable Yu Hua slapped out with his palm. Demonic flames surged into the sky and enveloped a few cultivators, burning them to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Azure Dragon Expanding Sea!"

Emperor Qian charged back angrily. His Nomological power was like a vast sea that carried a myriad of lights and transformed into an azure dragon that contained monstrous killing intent as it blasted towards Demon Venerable Yu Hua.

"Hehe!"

Demon Venerable Yu Hua threw a punch. The demonic flames were as black as ink, turning into a black lotus that collided with the azure dragon.

With a loud bang, the ground shook.

Destructive waves spread out like dry weeds, tearing apart those who were not far enough away. The nearby Array Formations were activated, forming circles of ripples that barely protected the buildings from being destroyed.

However, this also dispersed the power of the Array Formation. A slight change would affect the entire body, and the power suppressing the Sky Demon Saint would weaken further

The entire Heavenly Prison shook even more violently. Song Shi's divine consciousness sensed that the Array Formation was being torn apart by a terrifying force. He looked at Wuxi, who was frowning. "Continue. I don't know much about the Sky Demon Saint."

"What you've done could destroy the world. Is that enough?"

Wu Xi let out a long sigh. "Ten thousand years ago, evil demons descended from the sky. Many cultivators of the Boundless Continent were no match for them even if they fought with all their might. In the end, it was fortunate that a Martial Saint appeared and burned his blood essence to seal the Demon Saint. After so many years, he was almost obliterated, but you released him. If you open the passageway to the Heavenly Demon World again, the people will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering, and the mortal world will turn into a prison."

Song Shi was speechless. "In that case, I've become an eternal sinner…"

He couldn't help but take this matter seriously. If this Sky Demon Saint was just a senior of the Sky Demon Cult, then forget it. But now, he was obviously not. This was going to be a huge problem.

"In other words, he's not from this world, but an invader?"

Song Shi frowned. Thousand Faces actually did not reveal such important information. Wasn't this comparable to asking him to release a demon to tear down his hometown?

"Ridiculous. You don't even know that you've been used."

Wu Xi mocked.

"Princess, don't waste your breath on him. Kill him before dealing with the Sky Demon Saint!"

A man with a murderous expression rushed over. The token on his body was engraved with the word 'Spirit', and his strength was at the half-step Soul Transformation realm.

"Lord Spirit Guard, how's it going over there?"

Wu Xi came back to her senses.

"Old Wu has been killed and the control of the Array Formation has been taken away. The last layer has been isolated and our brothers can't enter for the time being."

The Spirit Guard stared at Song Shi with a dark expression. "It's all this person's fault. He secretly cracked some of the Array Formations and gave Thousand Faces a chance. Otherwise, why would everything happen so smoothly!"

Song Shi said, "I can help you get down to that level."

"Hmph, you still want to scheme against us? Old Wu sealed this place before he died, so just accept your death!"

The Spirit Guard sneered.

"Lord Spirit Guard, he probably doesn't know the situation."

Wu Xi shook her head. "There aren't many people who knows the origin of the last suppressing item. Give him a chance."

"Princess, he might be trying to trick us into opening the seal and escaping."

The Spirit Guard was unwilling to believe Song Shi.

"Forget it. I'm a sinner. I don't need you to do anything. I'll apologize with my life."

Song Shi's words were shocking. After saying that, he slapped his head. With a crack, his head shattered. Then, his body disintegrated and he fell to the ground.

The Spirit Guard was a little stunned. This guy really committed suicide?

320 A Huge Mistake (2)

"He's not dead. According to the intelligence, he's very difficult to kill. He's just good at escaping!"

Wu Xi stared at Song Shi's corpse with a solemn expression. In the next moment, the corpse disappeared.

Song Shi appeared behind them and instantly grabbed Wuxi's neck with one hand. "Beauty, did you feel some anger after seeing me die once?"

Wu Xi was frightened. She wanted to resist, but she realized that the other party's strength was unfathomable. She could not move at all. She could only ask in confusion, "How did you come out?"

"Are these important? I'm just asking if you want to salvage the situation."

Song Shi controlled Wuxi and wanted to go to the last level to take a look.

If possible, it would be best to continue sealing that thing below. He could also seize the opportunity to die a few times and obtain some benefits.

"Let go of the princess, or I won't hold back!"

The Spirit Guard shouted.

Boom!

The entire Heavenly Prison trembled violently. Cracks kept appearing on the walls around them, and gravel and dust fell with a plop. It had actually begun to collapse.

"Haha, I can finally leave this godforsaken place!"

A dry and unpleasant laugh filled the Heavenly Prison and the Void. Then, with a crack, a blood-red light broke through the Heavenly Prison and shot into the sky.

The space near them cracked, and the Heavenly Prison seemed to have been cut in half. Looking down, they could see the bottom level directly, and looking up, they could see the sky.

This humongous blow shattered the confidence of all the prison guards in the Heavenly Prison.

"Impressive. You don't even need me to bring you down anymore."

Song Shi was speechless. This was too terrifying. It actually broke through the Heavenly Prison. Even a Soul Transformation cultivator could not do this.

Wasn't this guy suppressed for many years? He actually still had such a terrifying power that was far from what a Soul Transformation cultivator could compare to.

"On the path of cultivation, refine essence into qi, Qi Refinement, Soul Transformation and Void Refinement, he is already an existence at the third step. Every move he makes can erupt with power that surpasses the limit of this world!"

Wu Xi's spirit eyes lit up, but there was sorrow in her eyes. "He's clearly about to die, but he can still survive. Is this fate? Previously, we underestimated the terrifying power of a Void Refinement Realm True Saint. Who can make up for the difference now?"

"That's right. This level is very interesting. I have to go and see it."

Song Shi looked into the depths with interest. The aura clearly terrified him, but he could not help but feel excited.

How generous of a reward would it be to be killed by such a high-level existence!

Wu Xi was already in despair. She thought that Song Shi was also spouting nonsense. She said to the Spirit Guard, "It's too late. Everyone, run."

The latter was bewildered, and there was fear in the depths of his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "If the eight Spirit Guards attack together, we might have a chance to suppress him."

"Ah! Save me!"

A blood-curdling scream came from the dust-filled underground space, followed by the sound of chewing. It was especially terrifying.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two bloodstained figures rushed backward, their eyes filled with fear.

"Let's go, this demon is too strong!"

"Even a perfected Soul Transformation cultivator might not be his match. If he doesn't leave, he will be eaten by him and become food for him to recover his strength."

The two of them were not bad. Before they escaped, they even reminded Wuxi and the other two.

As for Song Shi, they were not in the mood to care.

"You guys can go. I still have to go down and take a look."

Song Shi let go of Wuxi and walked in the opposite direction. He jumped into the huge crack.

Wu Xi watched in a daze as she was pulled away by the Spirit Guard beside her. "Princess, this guy is in cahoots with them. He sounds dignified, but in fact, he'll be fine if he goes down."

"That's true. Let's go out and meet up with Father and the others first. Only Father and the others have a way now."

With a sigh, Wu Xi quickly left with the Spirit Guard.

The last layer was not a simple earth and stone structure, but an independent space.

The space was shattered and filled with the smell of blood mixed with demonic qi.

Swoosh!

Song Shi landed and looked up. The crack above his head led straight to the outside world which made him even more shocked.

"Shattering the void, this is the power of the Demon Saint's ability indeed. It shouldn't be difficult for him to kill me."

Song Shi thought to himself. He could not wait to rush to the broken eight trigram at the center.

Now, this space had already been torn apart. It was also because the Sky Demon Saint had shattered this space that was suppressing him that it affected the outside and tore open the entire Heavenly Prison.

After unleashing this attack, the Sky Demon Saint's power was depleted again and he had no choice but to eat humans to replenish his energy.

Footsteps sounded. Song Shi walked over step by step amidst the violent flying dust. The blood-colored light made his reflection sway and distort, making him look like a demon.

Swoosh!

The Sky Demon Saint, who was replenishing his energy, glanced at Song Shi. His gaze was ravenous and expelled a terrifying pressure all around him.

"Where did this kid come from? He's not strong, but his meat seems firm and delicious."

Despite being treated as food by the Sky Demon Saint as soon as he arrived, Song Shi did not seem flustered at all. He even had the mood to bow to Thousand Faces, who had a flattered expression and said, "You made me commit a huge mistake If you escape, people will curse me to hell."

Song Shi was rather displeased. He did not care how powerful this demon was, but he did not want to be a fool.

After all, this Sky Demon Saint was not some Tom, Dick, or Harry. He was not even at the Soul Transformation realm. Instead, he was an existence that could threaten the peace of this world.

The more terrifying the other party was, the more living beings he would kill and the greater the blame Song Shi would bear. It would be easy for him to become infamous and hated for ten thousand years.

Thousand Faces replied indifferently, "You think too highly of yourself. If I hadn't set up this place for hundreds of years, your little tricks wouldn't be enough to help Senior Demon Saint escape."

At this moment, the Sky Demon Saint swallowed all the food in front of him. He was still unsatisfied. "I'm still very hungry. Little Thousand Faces, from what you're saying, this isn't considered one of us, right?"

"No, Senior Demon Saint, please enjoy."

Thousand Faces' gaze was cold. Since he had helped the Demon Saint escape, there was no need to keep this person alive.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

The Sky Demon Saint grinned, his hideous face revealing a bloody mouth as he clawed at Song Shi.

A terrifying spatial pressure descended, and Song Shi's expression changed drastically. The protective Will-O-Wisp, Talent Sword Qi, Supreme Yang True Fire, and other powers all erupted.

"Light of the Firefly!"

The Sky Demon Saint did not care at all and only exerted a little force.

Crack!

Space shattered and then collapsed towards the center. Song Shi's Defense was like paper. It shattered with a single breath.

"Is this the power that surpasses the Soul Transformation realm? It's indeed incomparable."

Song Shi was shocked. He was killed by the power of the space collapse. He died very quickly, even faster than when he encountered the spatial storm.

"Ding… congratulations on being killed by the Sky Demon Saint. Physique 30,000!"

"You obtained strength from death. Reward: 10,000 Freedom Attribute Points!"

The system notification made Song Shi happy. With his death, his strength could directly increase by a level, comparable to his usual long cultivation.

"Eh, this kid's physical body is even stronger than the ones I ate just now. Not bad, this is more chewy."

The Sky Demon Saint was slightly surprised. He retracted his hand and was about to enjoy this high-quality delicacy when Song Shi dissipated in a flash of light.

He pinched the air and came back. His face immediately darkened, "Very good. You even dare to play with me!"

"Senior Demon Saint, this person is full of tricks and has many avatars. It's not easy to kill him. Let's not waste time on him. Let's go out first and find trouble with him after you recover a little."

Thousand Faces reminded them that this operation was not without threat. At the very least, if the three Soul Transformations on Emperor Qian's side were to take action and assist the Numinous treasure, they would not gain any benefits.

"Hmph, this kid must die."

The Sky Demon Saint took a step forward and struck out with his palm.

In the outside world.

Song Shi had just appeared from the resurrection point he had set up in advance when he happened to see the Heavenly Prison tremble.

Then, the Void split open and an unholy blood-red light rushed out.

Then, the ground split open again. The ground and the building were split in half, revealing a huge Fissure. The entire Heavenly Prison completely collapsed.

Blood-colored light surged out from the sky, and a cold wind immediately blew. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, looking like they were about to transcend the tribulation.

In fact, at this moment, a peerless demon had appeared, triggering a large amount of the power of heaven and earth to transform into a phenomenon.

In the distance, Emperor Qian and Demon Venerable Yu Hua, who were still fighting, quickly separated and stared at the Sky Demon Saint.

"You're finally out. My Sky Demon Cult establish our sect for so many years just to welcome you!"

Demon Venerable Yu Hua muttered to himself with a crazy expression. Just as he was about to welcome him, he realized that the Sky Demon Saint was not looking at him at all. Instead, he rushed towards another person.
