"He looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside."

Song Shi saw through Ye Wenzhong's situation. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he continued to approach without a trace.

Seeing that Ye Wenzhong was approaching the reinforcements without resistance and was about to congregate with them, Lu Jiu gave up on stopping him and chose to attack with his words.

"Old dog Ye, if you burn your bloodline power like this, even if you escape, you'll be crippled for life!"

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons felt that it was a pity. He had not expected this old dog to work so hard which robbed him of the chance of obtaining the most precious blood essence. He could only mock, "Hehe, when we return, the youngsters of the clan might usurp the throne."

Ye Wenzhong stopped in front of the three Bronze chariots and stared at the two people from the Demonic Sect. "Even if I'm crippled today, someone will naturally avenge me. The connection between bloodlines is not something you bastards can understand."

He had a proud expression as the golden Nomological power on his body dissipated. The phantom behind him slowly dissipated, and his originally gray hair turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The wrinkles on his face kept increasing, and his inflatable flesh began to shrivel. He lost his luster and instantly became old.

However, his eyes were bright and determined, and his expression was solemn and proud. He actually had the feeling of a tragic hero in his twilight years.

When Lu Jiu, who was standing at the side, saw this, he muttered in his heart, "I actually became a villain in the end, but who asked you to attack me first?"

"Jingtian, where are Ye Sai and the others?" n0๐‘ฝ๐”ข๐‘™๐“Š๐—Œ๐‘ฉ.๐œ0๐‘š

Ye Wenzhong asked in a hoarse voice when he saw that the number of Golden Core cultivators around him had clearly decreased.

"Dead."

Song Shi said.

"How is that possible? Even if it's two against one, they shouldn't have died so quickly!"

Ye Wenzhong's body trembled, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Puchi!

A sword pierced through his heart and pierced through his chest.

It wasn't that Song Shi wanted to reveal himself, but he had sensed Ye Wenzhong's suspicions. At the same time, since his body was stronger, and it wasn't easy to pierce through his skull, Song Shi chose to pierce his heart which was situated at a weaker area of his body.

At the same time, a sword blade from his other hand slashed down and landed on Ye Wenzhong's neck.

"Bastard!"

Song Shi took a step back, and Ye Wenzhong also staggered back. Most of his neck had been cut off, and some of his flesh was lopsided as blood flowed out.

"Patriarch!"

The elders of the Ye Family on the Bronze Chariot exclaimed. They did not expect that he would be in danger when he was almost safe.

"Imbecile, stop!"

They shouted and jumped out one after another, hurriedly flying over to support.

A circle of golden light appeared on Song Shi's body. He quickly approached the injured Ye Wenzhong and grinned. "Chief, I'm already dead. Accompany me."

"You killed Jingtian and the others!"

Ye Wenzhong held his chest that was spewing blood and used one hand to straighten his head. His powerful vitality prevented him from dying immediately even after half his head has been nearly severed. He could still stare at Song Shi with wide eyes.

How could he not tell that Song Shi had pretended to be Ye Jingtian?

The surrounding people felt their hair stand on end. They had not realized that Song Shi was pretending. They had been too careless.

In freality, Song Sh had just used his Thousand Transformations Technique more frequently recently. It had already reached the third level of Qi Transformation and could now disguise one's aura. If one was not familiar with the technique, it would be very difficult to detect any abnormalities.

At this moment, they were already on the battlefield. The Ye Family members were nervous and their attention was all on Lu Jiu and the others from the Demonic Cults. How could they have the time to notice that something was wrong with Song Shi.

"Patriarch Ye is indeed smart. You deduced the outcome with just a few words."

Song Shi grinned and turned into a fiery light that instantly arrived in front of Ye Wen. With a bang, he attacked him again.

Under the violent collision, Ye Wenzhong's head tilted again and blood spurted out like spring water.

"You have a death wish!"

At the present, next to them were two Golden Core cultivators who followed Ye Wenzhong to retreat. At this moment, their faces were filled with anger as they attacked Song Shi with their weapons.

Crash!

A chain also took the opportunity to fly out from behind Ye Wenzhong and wrap around his body. It pulled with all its might and Ye Wenzhong flew towards Lu Jiu.

At the side, Ghost Butcher, whose face was a little pale, laughed loudly. "Haha, Blood-Robed old ghost, you're really a f*cking talent. I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared. It turns out that you were pretending to be a member of the Ye Family to launch a sneak attack."

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons looked at Song Shi in surprise as well. "You do have the ability of having a thousand transformations. I wonder where you learned such divine powers and spells."

Song Shi fought the two Golden Cores with his bare hands and he only retreated a little. His hands were like gold, and his right hand was unscathed when it collided with the sharp Dharma treasures.

He turned around and said, "Don't snatch my kill!"

Lu Jiu shrugged, "Don't worry, I won't snatch it from you. However, you should end him quickly to prevent any accidents from happening."

Song Shi did not stop at that moment. He used the impact of the collision to quickly tap the ground twice and quickly escaped to catch up to Ye Wenzhong, who was entangled in the chains.

"Old man, you shouldn't have provoked me. I'm a stubborn person. Whoever kills me has to die."

He appeared beside Ye Wenzhong, who was instantly entangled like a cocoon. However, the golden Will-O-Wisp on his short neck was flowing, and he was desperately healing himself, wanting to stop bleeding.

If hsi wound really healed, it might just become a bowl-sized scar.

Seeing Song Shi approach, Ye Wenzhong, who no longer had the strength to resist, knew that he had become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He could only say resentfully, "Blood-Robed old ghost, kill me then. The Ye Family will not rest until you die!"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Song Shi was disdainful. After his left hand was sealed, he only had the sharp sword left to attack. Ye Wenzhong's head, which was only left with a layer of skin, was completely cut off. Ye Wenzhong's strength completely collapsed.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, I'll make you die a horrible death!"

The head said resentfully. Then, golden light flashed in its body, and an enfeeble Golden Nascent Soul flew out, turning into a beam of light that rushed towards Song Shi.

He did not choose to escape. There were still three Nascent Souls eyeing him covetously. Moreover, one of them was very good at controlling souls. He could not leave at all.

He only had one choice. He could only "die" to "live" again. He would possess the Blood-Robed old ghost's body and even though this would reduce his cultivation by a major realm, he would have a chance to survive.

"Be careful, this old dog wants to possess you!"

Lu Jiu's expression changed. He wanted to entangle Ye Wenzhong's Nascent Soul, but the two of them were too close. Before his Dharma treasure chains could approach, the latter rushed into Song Shi's body.

The Nascent Soul was the crystallization of a cultivator's essence, qi, and spirit. Ye Wenzhong's soul was also among them.

Compared to the soul of a soul under the Nascent Soul realm, which was like water without roots or wood without roots, a Nascent Soul realm soul could replenish a portion of its power.

Of course, the price was not small. After succeeding, he would definitely lose his Nascent Soul and his cultivation would regress to Song Shi's level.

However, he was left with no other choice but to possess this person.

"Good timing!"

When Song Shi realized what was happening, he revealed an excited expression.

A powerful force surged into his body. Then, his body stiffened and he could no longer control himself.

A powerful resistance invaded his mind, tore apart his consciousness space, and charged in majestically.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, you've possessed someone else. Today, I'll let you experience the feeling of being possessed!"

Ye Wenzhong's tone was venomous. Although he had a chance to live after possessing the body, he would completely lose the bloodline of the Ye Family. In the Ye Family, where blood was respected, his actions today were destined to bring about awkward confrontation about his position in the future.

The most important thing was that after possessing a body, one would need to spend a large amount of time fusing their soul with the body. Their cultivation path would be greatly affected.

In his mental world, a huge lunar star floated. Song Shi's soul sat cross-legged under the star and quietly looked at Ye Wenzhong, who was like a golden sun.

"It's still not easy to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator. With a Nascent Soul, it's equivalent to having an extra life."

Song Shi muttered, "But that's good too. If you come to possess me, I'll gain more than if I just kill you."

There was excitement in his eyes. As he cultivated Spiritual strength, cultivators of the same level could not possess him. He had to rely on this kind of person who was stronger than him.

Sensing Song Shi's abnormal calmness, Ye Wenzhong felt uneasy. He pretended to be fierce, but he was cowardly on the inside, "I think you're mentally unstable. You still want to reap benefits now? Die!"

He instantly transformed into a Golden Armor Heavenly God and stirred up a storm, causing his mental world to tremble violently.

In the mental world, Spiritual strength was consumed. He could hence change into anything he wanted and did not need to worry about insufficient Nomological power.

"God Slayer!"

He used his divine power and the huge axe tore through the Spiritual Space. With a bang, it split the Lunar Star that Song Shi had condensed into two.

Below him, Song Shi's expression changed. His hands turned into palms, and two ten-thousand-foot-long dragons flew out. In the end, they were still shattered.

"The soul power of a Nascent Soul is indeed quite strong."

Song Shi stood in his turbulent mental world without panicking, "Unfortunately, I'm invincible."

In the outside world.

Song Shi stood rooted to the ground, the light in his eyes flickering non-stop. This was a battle between the two consciousnesses.

Lu Jiu frowned as he looked at Song Shi, who had been possessed. "The Blood-Robed old ghost was too careless and gave Ye Wenzhong the opportunity to possess him."

Cultivators could possess others, but they could also use methods to prevent themselves from being possessed. They had relevant Dharma treasures and talismans for that purpose.

"That's only if he can afford it. If he possesses someone else to recover his cultivation, his wealth will probably be almost exhausted. It's not easy to buy Dharma treasures and talismans that can stop a Nascent Soul realm cultivator from possessing him."

Ghost Butcher shook his head. He did not think that Song Shi could afford these methods.

"He can't stop Ye Wenzhong's possession. Kill him. We can't give that old dog a chance to live!"

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons appeared at the side and pointed the poisonous blade in his hand at Song Shi's glabella.

Lu Jiu and Ghost Butcher hesitated for a moment but did not stop him.

They had the same thoughts as the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons and did not believe that Song Shi could win in the possession.

This way, it would be easy to kill Ye Wenzhong directly.

At this moment, Lu Youyou said, "Why should we kill him? If we capture him, the Ye Family will become wary and give in to us."

"Kid, you are too ignorant. The Ye Family only cares about bloodline, if he loses his physical body, he will no longer be considered a member of the Ye Family."

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons mocked as he stabbed the poisonous blade in his hand at Song Shi's glabella.

In his mental world, Song Shi could sense Poison Perfected Lord attacking him, but he could not effectively control his body to dodge.

Ding! n0๐‘ฝ๐—ฒ๐‘™๐‘ˆ๐‘ ๐’ƒ.๐•”0๐“‚

Something knocked the poisonous blade away, causing sparks to fly.

"Don't go overboard!"

Among the reinforcements from the Ye Family, a silver-haired old man walked out. His cultivation was deep and he was also at the Nascent Soul realm.

"Ye Wending, I didn't expect you to be the one to come as reinforcement. Then I will have to kill Ye Wenzhong even more."

Lu Jiu's face suddenly contorted. The chains wrapped around Song Shi and pulled him away from the Ye Family.

"Hahaha, you're mentioning me as a son-in-law at this time? Ridiculous!"

Not only him, but Lu Youyou's eyes were also filled with obvious resentment.

Lu Jiu dragged Song Shi back and threw him beside the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons. "Kill him quickly!"

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons waved his hand and attacked without hesitation.

"Don't you dare!"

Ye Wending rushed over but was blocked by Ghost Butcher.

Swoosh!

The poisonous blade entered Song Shi's head with some difficulty. The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons was surprised. "This fellow's bones are really tough. It's like Dharma treasures. Fortunately, he didn't use much Nomological power to resist. Otherwise, it would be difficult to kill him."

He grabbed the poisonous blade and twisted it. At the same time, he released the poison to destroy Song Shi's brain, not leaving a living body for Ye Wenzhong.

Lu Jiu fiddled with his fingers, and the rattling chains interwove into a huge net that enveloped Song Shi.

This way, even if Ye Wenzhong's Nascent Soul wanted to escape, it would be blocked by the Soul Lock Chain.

When Song Shi's body lost its vitality, Ye Wenzhong's Nascent Soul had no choice but to leave and be completely wiped out.

"This fellowโ€ฆ died just like that?"

Lu Youyou stared blankly as Song Shi's head turned black. Her expression was complicated.

"He doesn't know how to keep a low profile. If he doesn't die, who will?"

Shi Tianya was disdainful, but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

After this Blood-Robed old ghost came to the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he had felt immense pressure. It was best if he died.

"What a pity. He's actually quite powerful."

Fang Gang felt a little regretful, "He's just too arrogant. How dare he provoke such a powerful enemy."

Sensing that his body had suffered a heavy blow, Song Shi, who was in his Spiritual Space, was speechless. "F*ck, this Old Dog hasn't even destroyed my soul, but I was actually killed by my own people!"

These guys were indeed from the Demonic Cults. They were not hesitant when they decided on their own people.

As his physical body was killed and his soul was destroyed, the power of his soul quickly weakened.

Ye Wenzhong also sensed that Song Shi's body had suffered a fatal attack. He shouted angrily, "Damn it, you didn't even give me a chance to possess you. If I go out, I'll die."

He was very indignant. A cultivator's Nascent Soul was indeed considered a second life, but without a body to bear it, it would be very weak.

Song Shi, whose soul was rapidly weakening, glanced at him, "What's the hurry? I'll give you a surprise later."

As he spoke, his physical body quickly died, reaching the standard of death.

"Your body has been poisoned to death. Poison Resistance 1,000!"

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

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!"

"You can choose an alternate resurrection point. Do you want to choose?"

Song Shi thought for a moment and chose to revive on the spot.

This was because he sensed that Ye Wenzhong still had the strength to run in his state, and Lu Jiu's Dharma treasure outside could lock him up. If he revived elsewhere, he might very well escape.

"You've chosen to revive on the spot!"

Three seconds passed.

Song Shi's turbulent mental world instantly stabilized. The situation here became even better than when Ye Wenzhong first entered.

Ye Wenzhong, who was already in despair, was stunned. What was going on?

"How is it? Is this surprise alright?"

Song Shi smiled as he looked at Ye Wenzhong, who was still in his mental world, and he became certain of two things.

Ye Wenzhong who had possessed him had not been expelled because of his resurrection. A special program must have been erected by the system. At this moment, both parties were assumed to be one.

The second was the Life and Death Gu. This thing did not disappear or was ejected because of his death. It had probably become a parasite or something.

He became cautious. His resurrection did not seem to be able to farm off any special statuses like being possessed. It also could not even farm off Gu.

"Let's continue!"

Song Shi said. Since Ye Wenzhong's soul possession had not stopped, he had to let Ye Wenzhong kill him a few more times.

However, he had to cover what happened up.

He split a portion of his thoughts to stimulate the blood river and fused his entire body into it, trying his best to hide his resurrection.

"Something's wrong with you!"

Ye Wenzhong stared at Song Shi. He could clearly sense that Song Shi's condition had suddenly improved. This was illogical and abnormal.

"Scram if you're afraid. I'll blow up your Nascent Soul."

Song Shi was disdainful. If this fellow really did not want to possess him, ge would not be able to force him to. He could only attack him with words to provoke him.

"I won't retreat, I have no way out anyways. Today, I'll see what you're up to."

Ye Wenzhong stared at Song Shi as he transformed into the Golden Armor Heavenly God again and charged over.

Compared to the earth-shattering spiritual world, the outside world seemed a little calm.

Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons looked at the surging blood river and said in surprise, "You can still activate a blood secret skill under such circumstances? Or is this Dharma treasure protecting itself?"

"Father, is he dead or not?"

Lu Youyou was curious.

"He's not dead. He used a special method to fuse into the Blood River. This method of avoiding physical attacks is indeed quite powerful."

Lu Jiu shook his head and looked at the thick blood river. "However, his trouble this time is no longer physical, but in his soul. He's still doomed."

"That's interesting. Let's not kill him now and see if he can pull off some kind of miracle."

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons' eyes flickered as he sized up the blood river with interest.

Seeing that the Blood-Robed old ghost actually had a life-saving method, Ye Wending, who was having a headache because Ye Wenzhong's Nascent Soul was in the hands of Lu Jiu and the others, regained some hope.

"Lu Jiu, Old Poison, you'd better hand him over. Don't force our Ye Family to attack!"

Faced with this threat, Lu Jiu chuckled. "Go. It's best if you call out those people who are already half-dead in your family to attack."

"Lu Jiu, he's one of your people. It's up to you to decide whether to kill him or not. I've already obtained what I want, so I'm not interested in wasting time here!"

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons pinched the round and golden bug on his stomach, indicating his intention to retreat.

Lu Jiu had no objections. Now that the Ye Family was completely alarmed and mobilized, it would become more and more troublesome if they continued fighting.

"According to the agreement, the blood is ours!"

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons walked over and grabbed Ye Wenzhong's headless corpse. He took out the golden heart. The golden blood inside was a little dry already.

"The old dog used a large amount of blood essence to cast a forbidden technique. There's only one drop left."

After checking the heart's condition, the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons was not too satisfied.

"That is your problem. Everything else is ours."

Lu Jiu wrapped the chain around Ye Wenzhong's Dharma treasure, the golden spear and put it away in his storage ring.

Ye Wenzhong was the head of the Ye Family, so the value of these things would not be low.

No matter how good-tempered Ye Wending was, he could not help but order, "All Ye Family cultivators, form a formation and kill these demons!"

"Yes!"

The Ye Family members, who were already filled with righteous indignation, moved. With the Bronze Chariot as the foundation, they formed a huge offensive formation.

"The few of you won't be able to stop us."

Lu Jiu took a calm look and dragged Song Shi's blood river, seizing the opportunity to retreat with the Heavenly Poison Sect that had more people.

The Ye Family members let out furious roars, but they were unable to stop the three Nascent Soul cultivators. They could only watch as their Patriarch's corpse was dragged away. n0๐ฏ๐”ข๐“๐‘ข๐—Œ๐›.๐—ฐ0๐“‚

They were extremely dejected.

The Ye Family was like a local emperor in Jinzhou. They had been high and mighty for thousands of years and could be considered one of the top cultivation families in Great Qian. When had they ever suffered such a huge loss?

This defeat shattered the hearts of many people. For a moment, many people doubted their lives and doubted the strength of the Ye family.

Boom!

The ground shook.

Ye Wending was so angry that he shattered a small mountain with a slap. His body trembled as he stared fixedly at the cultivators of the demonic sect who were leaving, "These demonic cultivators are too arrogant. Even if my Ye Family has to use up the Qian Dragon Token, we will make you pay the price."

Everyone was shocked.

Qian Dragon Token!

The special token left behind by the founding emperor of Great Qian could only be obtained by a small portion of the founding heroes. Once it was used, it could mobilize the Qian Dragon Army of Great Qian to do things!

This was not a normal army, but an army of cultivators. Furthermore, they were top-notch and were one of the core forces of Great Qian. Even if the demonic sects were in an uproar right now due to the rebellion, they would not dare to go head-on against the Qian Dragon Army.

If he really mobilized them, he would definitely be able to vent his anger. He might even be able to eradicate one whole sect.

"Hey, I'm late."

With a sigh, another group of Ye Family cultivators rushed over. The leading cultivator's face was covered in age spots. One look and one could tell that he was someone with half a leg in the ground.

"Ancestor, the Demonic Sects are too unscrupulous now. Our patriarch has been captured and is doomed. We will definitely be mocked by all the major forces in the world."

Ye Wending turned around in grief and indignation.

"The plate is only so big. Everyone wants to control it and obtain more resources. The Demonic Cult's ambition is becoming more and more obvious."

Elder sighed. "If you want to, take the Qian Dragon Token and use it. Otherwise, you won't have a chance to use it when Great Qian falls in the future."

Ye Wending was shocked, "Elder, you don't have confidence in Great Qian?"

"Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes[1]. The Demon Cult is such a group of people. Great Qian has been pampered for too long. If even the Ye Family is like this, how good can the royal family be?"

The old ancestor sighed.

"I understand!"

Ye Wending nodded. "In this chaotic world, if you want to survive, you have to suffer losses."

This incident made him realize that his family's current situation was no longer compatible with the times. If the Ye family did not change, such a tragedy would be very common in the future and there would even be the threat of extermination.

"You're more stable than Wen Zhong. We old fellows will discuss first but you should be the one that will lead the family next."

He did not pursue the demonic cultivators. Not only because he did not have much of his life span left, every time he attacked, his life would be shortened by a few days. Even the strength of a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator was not enough to kill the people of the Demonic Cults.

After saying that, the old man turned around and left.

Ye Wending sighed.

Their Ye Family's bloodline was powerful. The Ye family was able to thrive because of their bloodline, but it was also coveted dangerously because of their bloodline. Most of the ancestors in the family were about to die of old age, so it was very difficult for them to be useful at this time.

Hundreds of miles away.

Lu Jiu turned around to take a look.

"We alarmed the old fellow with one foot in the grave. But this fellow cherishes his life very much, so he shouldn't chase after us."

Ghost Butcher said sarcastically, "If not for their strong bloodline and vitality, they would have died of old age long ago."

"Ignore them. We have to think of a way to seal this guy first."

Lu Jiu looked at the blood river in the chains, "Hurry back to the Nether City and activate the Hundred Ghosts Lock Mountain Array to trap them."

He took out a flying ship and sent out a stream of Nomological power. The flying ship grew in the wind and brought everyone back quickly.

Song Shi was currently fighting Ye Wenzhong's soul.

With the energy provided by his Nascent Soul, Ye Wenzhong's continuous combat strength was much stronger than the Blood-Robed old ghost back then.

Song Shi attacked with all his might, but he was still split into pieces by the Golden Armor Heavenly God that Ye Wenzhong had transformed into.

"This guy has yet to cultivate his Essence Soul, but his soul power is still so strong. Looks like he must have encountered some fortuitous opportunity before."

Ye Wenzhong continuously shattered Song Shi's soul, but the latter was still unharmed. He stopped, "How do you keep doing it?"

"My swift restoration?"

Song Shi asked indifferently, "You think my recovery speed is too fast?"

Ye Wenzhong stared at Song Shi, "This doesn't seem like simple recovery. How did you do it?"

"Won't you know if you possess me?"

Song Shi smiled. "Come, let's fight a few more times."

Ye Wenzhong stopped moving.

The path of retreat outside was sealed. Regardless of whether he possessed this person or not, he would die.

"If you don't make a move, then I will!"

Song Shi's mental strength erupted, and the Lunar Star took the initiative to attack Ye Wenzhong.

The latter had no choice but to attack. At the same time, he said, "So what if you win? They won't believe you and you'll just die in the end."

He said bewitchingly, "You might as well work with me and think of a way to escape!"

He had already thought it through. Regardless of whether the possession was successful or not, he would have to face the suppression and sealing of the outside world. Only if this person cooperated with him would he have a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, Song Shi was not interested in this at all. No matter what happened outside, it would not affect him.

"He's really stubborn!"

Ye Wenzhong scolded, "I think you've been brainwashed by the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Do you know what will happen to you if you're brought back?"

"I don't know, but I know that you'll end up being swallowed by me."

[1] "Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes" is a Chinese phrase that can be translated to: People who have nothing to lose are not afraid of people who are more powerful than them"

"You forced me!"

Ye Wenzhong closed his eyes. When he opened them, they were cold. "I'll consider how to survive, when I kill you."

The next moment, he launched a fatal attack.

With the restoration speed provided by the Nascent Soul, Ye Wenzhong's continuous combat strength was much stronger than the Blood-Robed old ghost. He actually did not show any signs of weakening for a while.

On the other hand, when Ye Wenzhong realized that not only could Song Shi's soul not be destroyed, but it was also getting stronger, he decided not to attack and chose to defend instead.

Song Shi hence took the initiative to attack. He had to take action, or else this guy might just stay in his body forever.

Outside, Lu Jiu and the others came to a bitterly cold place. This was a huge cave, or more accurately, a sinkhole.

In the sinkhole, cold fog filled the air. There were many buildings and yin plants in the depths. From time to time, ghosts would float around and there were faint sounds of wild shrieks and howls.

This was where the sect of the Heavenly Ghost Sect was located. With a land of extreme Yin as the foundation, it could connect to the Nine Nether.

"The sect master and the others are back!"

Someone shouted. Then, shadows floated out of the buildings and respectfully welcomed the small boat that landed in the fog.

Lu Jiu stood at the bow of the ship. The chain in his hand pulled a tightly bound person. He was like a boatman ferrying his prey back from the netherworld.

"Open the Hundred Ghost Mountain Lock Array and suppress this person!"

Lu Jiu said coldly.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Ten people flew out from the shadows and formed seals at the same time. Instantly, a strange green whirlwind appeared in the sinkhole. Then, the wild shrieks and howls became even more obvious.

With the sound of chains colliding, thick chains stretched out from the unfathomable darkness in the center of the pit.

Roar! Roar! n0๐—๐“”๐‘™๐’ฐ๐’ฎ๐•“.๐’ž0๐—†

At the top of these chains were evil spirits with blood-red eyes and two horns on their heads. They opened their bloody mouths and dragged the chains into the sky.

Lu Jiu swung the chain in his hand and Song Shi was thrown over. He was immediately swallowed by an evil spirit.

Then, the four ghost heads bit Song Shi's four limbs and froze him in midair before pulling him into the endless abyss.

Shi Tianya looked at Song Shi's storage ring and a pile of storage bags and said, "Since he's destined to be possessed, why don't we plunder him clean?"

"That makes sense. This guy has a piece of spiritual soil and the Wisdom Tea Tree in here. They're both good things."

The Ghost Butcher came back to his senses.

Lu Jiu nodded. "Then let's take it."

With a raise of his hand, they took away all his clothes, Dharma artifacts, storage bags and storage rings.

"Youyou, don't you want the tea tree? I'll give you the Spiritual Soil as well. When you go back, plant the tea tree on the Spiritual Soil. Coupled with the rich Spiritual Qi in the sect, its growth speed will probably increase by ten to a hundred times."

Lu Jiu took out the two most valuable items and handed them to his daughter.

"Thank you, Father."

Lu Youyou accepted it with mixed feelings. She looked at Song Shi's figure being swallowed by the darkness and sighed.

This annoying fellow was going to be completely gone.

At this moment, Song Shi's face twitched slightly. In the end, he could not move nor curse.

He could only curse in his heart, "Damn you, I'm not dead yet. What right do you have to plunder my assets!"

Song Shi felt extreme anger in his heart. He had originally used Lu Jiu and the others' methods to prevent Ye Wenzhong's Nascent Soul from escaping, but in the end, he had lost all his wealth.

He was on the brink of tears and could only vent his frustration on Ye Wenzhong.

Shi Tianya chuckled, "This old ghost risked his life, but in the end, we benefited."

"I can only say that he was unlucky. Back then, he was surrounded and killed. Now, he's even more unlucky. He can't even protect his assets and his soul is about to be devoured."

Fang Gang revealed a look of pity.

Swoosh!

The Mountain Moving Daoist appeared out of thin air and looked at the suppressed Song Shi in surprise. "What's going on? Wasn't this guy the one who led the way to kill the Ye Family? Why did he go out standing but come back lying down?"

The others who did not know the situation revealed curious expressions and waited for the sect master to explain.

"He's been possessed by Old Dog Ye. He's basically hopeless. We'll suppress him first and think about how to deal with him later."

Lu Jiu explained the reason.

"Possession!"

Mountain Moving Daoist was stunned, "No wonder I felt that his aura was strangeโ€ฆ Since he forced Old Dog Ye to possess his body, it seems like he won this time."

"We received a lot of benefits from this siege. However, Old Dog Ye called for reinforcements in advance. Even with the Heavenly Poison Sect, they were not completely wiped out. They were only severely injured and we roughly wiped out one Nascent Soul and three Golden Cores."

At this point, Lu Jiu glanced at the abyss. "It's all due to his contributions."

Many people gasped.

Was this guy who was suppressed by the Hundred Ghosts Locking Mountain Formation so fierce? He looked like he only had a Golden Core cultivation. How did he achieve such a battle record?

The Mountain Moving Daoist was also shocked. He shook his head and said, "What a pity. This old ghost's battle prowess is comparable to many geniuses. Now, he's crippled."

"This person's killing intent is too strong. It's good to cripple him. Otherwise, he will be a troublesome fellow."

Lu Jiu shook his head. "Let's not talk about him anymore. From now on, all the people who have been poisoned will stay in the ghost pit to cultivate for the time being. We will rotate a group of people to go out and run errands for now."

Everyone obeyed and dispersed.

Lu Jiu brought the higher-ups to a ghost palace in the sect and took out Ye Wenzhong's corpse. He formed a seal and pointed. A long black and white snake flew out from his head and was grabbed by him.

"This Life and Death Gu contains a portion of Ye Wenzhong's essence, energy, and spirit. I won't stand on ceremony and will refine it for myself. Refining this is equivalent to over a hundred years of cultivation that would have required a lot of effort."

He absorbed the Life and Death Gu greedily and took down Ye Wenzhong's storage ring, "I will split the items inside later as a reward for this operation. As for the corpseโ€ฆ"

At this point, he took out a black token. After activating it, the Void twisted, and a grayish-black vortex appeared out of thin air.

"Lu Jiu, I smell blood."

A buzzing sound came out from it, making people feel fear.

"Hungry Ghost Emperor, this person burned his Nomological power and blood essence. However, he has a Nascent Soul body after all. He should still be useful to you."

Lu Jiu politely threw the head and headless corpse in.

"Eh, Golden Blood. Unfortunately, the Essence Blood is gone. This can only be considered as a small snack."

A black claw stretched out from the darkness. It was exceptionally huge, and its nails were sharp and blood-red.

Compared to it, Ye Wenzhong's corpse was like an ant. The latter grabbed it and threw it into the darkness.

"Many thanks to the Ghostly Emperor for the reward!"

A voice thanked him in unison. Then, Ye Wenzhong's corpse shattered into pieces and was disintegrated by an unknown thing.

"If there's nothing else, I'll close the passageway first." n0๐‘ฃ๐“ฎ๐“๐—Ž๐’๐›.๐‘ช0๐“œ

Lu Jiu held the token and said.

"Wait, Sect Leader Lu!"

Another cold and deep voice sounded, "Miss You You, are you interested in coming over? I've prepared something fun."

"I have to cultivate. I don't have time to go to the spirit space."

Lu Youyou refused.

"Hehe, when did Miss You You change? This is the first time I've heard you say that you don't have time to play because you want to cultivate."

The cold voice chuckled.

"Don't you know people change?"

Lu Youyou pouted, "Play by yourself first. I want to form my Golden Core as soon as possible."

"Alright, I'll come and find you in a few days. I'll give you some treasures that can help you form your core."

Lu Jiu closed the passageway and took out a golden dragon spear, "This Dharma treasure has a masculine Yang nature. It's suitable for moving mountains. Do you want it?"

Moving Mountain Daoist shook his head. No matter which sect it was, one had to pay a certain price to obtain something. It was just that the price was more or less based on one's status.

This Golden Dragon Spear was a Numinous artifact that belonged to the Ye Family. They would not give it up so easily. He did not want to 'pay' too much for a troublesome Dharma treasure.

"Alright, I'll leave it here for now. Next time, I'll hold a Nascent Soul black market and see if I can get rid of it."

Lu Jiu waved his hand and the Golden Dragon Spear flew out and stabbed into a huge pillar beside him with a crack.

The latter let out a low cry, as if it was unwilling to give up. However, it was not a spiritual treasure with intelligence. Without its master, it could not do anything.

"Now, let's split the spoils of war in the storage ring."

He took out the last item and began to count it. Of course, this included Song Shi's.

Time passed.

Song Shi, who now had nothing to his name and Ye Wenzhong, who also now had nothing, continued to fight in their soul state.

Compared to the battle with the Blood-Robed old ghost that ended in just a few days, it took an entire month for Song Shi to exhaust Ye Wenzhong to death before devouring him.

It took another half a month to digest Ye Wenzhong's memories and residual power. Only then did Song Shi end the possession process and slowly open his eyes.

It was pitch-black outside, but Song Shi could still sense an ugly ghost head facing him. It seemed to be drooling.

"โ€ฆ"

Song Shi wanted to curse on the spot.

Not only did he not get any spoils of war this time, but he was also suppressed in this dark place.

At this moment, his Nomological power was sealed by the Array Formation Power, and his body was also suppressed. It was difficult for him to even move.

He felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. Not to mention the Golden Core realm, even a Nascent Soul realm cultivator could not withstand it.

"This is great. I don't even have the strength to move. I can't even die."

Song Shi cursed in his heart for a while and looked around helplessly.

In this dark place, there were many evil spirits surrounding him. They were all drooling, clearly wanting to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

"Looks like I can only use the Ragnarok I drew last time. I didn't expect that my first time using it would not be on the old witch, but in this damn place."

Song Shi opened the system interface and checked Ragnarok's special Skill.

Ragnarok (Low-level): A special rule-type Skill. for being immune to control of those below the Nomological Realm. It can also burn one's essence, energy, and spirit. When used, combat strength will double. Its cool-down is 2 hours.

"Immune to Control. It shouldn't be a problem without specifying whether it's Array Formation Control or other forms of Control."

He tapped on this skill with his divine consciousness.

"Do you want to use this Skill?"

Of course, Song Shi chose yes.

In the next moment, his body, which had been sealed by the Array Formation, suddenly emitted a golden glow. A domineering power that could destroy and disregard everything suddenly erupted from within.

The sealed power in Song Shi's body instantly loosened and boiled. He became twice as powerful as normal and was comparable to an existence who had just entered the Nascent Soul realm.

The surrounding sealing power was illuminated by the golden light and melted on the spot, losing all effect.

Song Shi's eyes lit up as he regained his power. He stood up and slapped the drooling ghost head into pieces.

The surrounding ghost heads were a little dumbfounded. They had formed the array for so many years, but this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

The guy was clearly suppressed, but now he was suddenly not suppressed anymore and even jumped up to blow up a ghost head.

"Damn it, don't you know that your mouth stinks? Why are you still so close to me!"

Song Shi did not leave immediately. Instead, he scolded the ghost head who was too close to him before taking a step forward.

BANG!

The powerful explosive force created a golden crater in the surrounding ghost fog. Then, he shot out like a cannonball.

"ROAR!"

The surrounding ghosts came back to their senses and roared as they rushed over, wanting to keep Song Shi behind again.

The chains that filled the sky danced and fell from Song Shi's head. A strange scene appeared. When the chains landed on Song Shi's body, they were unable to trap or entangle him.

A strange and mysterious force prevented them from sealing Song Shi. It was truly a sight to behold.

"Dama's teeth!"

Song Shi imitated a game character and shouted happily.

The feeling of using his ultimate skill was too good. He felt like his entire body was on fire, and his body seemed to have become taller.

If he was given an axe, he probably could cut through everything!

The chains above his head could no longer stop him. A huge hole was created in the grayish-black fog. He was like an unstoppable meteor as he rushed out. Even sound could not catch up to him.

Song Shi even felt that he was about to break open space.

Of course, this was just an illusion. He was just much faster than before, exceeding the speed of sound.

In just a few seconds, he crossed thousands of feet in one breath and rushed out of the abyss, arriving in the valley.

As soon as he broke free from the Array Formation, the Ragnarok skill ended. Song Shi immediately felt half of his strength dissipate and he returned to his normal state.

Song Shi hovered in mid-air, still unsatisfied. He looked around.

At this moment, he was in an unfamiliar valley. No, it should be said that he was outside a huge sinkhole.

The buildings he saw were basically all in the valley. Many cultivators and ghosts were attracted by his movements and looked at him in surprise.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome man before?"

Song Shi was in a bad mood. At this moment, he had a stomach full of anger that he wanted to vent on the people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

"Howโ€ฆ How did you get out of the ghost pit?"

"Wasn't he sealed by the array?"

"What the hell happened?"

The group of cultivators and ghosts panicked. They had never encountered such a situation before.

At the tallest part of the building, Lu Jiu had just absorbed Ye Wenzhong's life and death Gu and was consolidating his realm when the communication token suddenly jumped out.

"Sect Master, something bad has happened. The person in the Hundred Ghosts Locking Mountain Formation has escaped!"

A slightly flustered voice sounded.

"Blood-Robed old ghost? Impossible. How did he come out? Even if he's in the Soul Transformation realm, he won't escape easily."

Lu Jiu subconsciously did not believe it.

"Sect Master, I don't know what happened either."

The latter smiled bitterly, "I only saw him shoot out of the Nine Nether Ghost Pit with a swish. He's still laughing at us."

Lu Jiu immediately swept his thoughts and discovered Song Shi in the air. His expression immediately turned strange, "That shouldn't be the case. No matter who wins or loses, it's impossible for them to escape the array. What went wrong?"

Not only him, but the other higher-ups were also a little dumbfounded after receiving the news. No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not understand how this person came out.

Could it be that the array was broken and this person took advantage of it?

Lu Jiu appeared outside as if he had teleported. He looked solemnly at Song Shi, who was cursing.

"Your Heavenly Ghost Sect is too inhumane. I've worked so hard to help you kill your enemies. It's fine if you didn't help me when I encountered trouble just now, but you actually suppressed me in a godforsaken place and even took my things!"

Song Shi questioned at the top of his voice, "Is there any justice in this world? Do you have any humanity?"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ghost Butcher, Moving Mountain Daoist, and many Golden Core cultivators flew over. Without exception, their expressions were all of shock.

"Who exactly is this guy?"

"He looks like the Blood-Robed old ghost. Ye Wenzhong wouldn't be cursing like this."

"Maybe Ye Wenzhong is deliberately putting on an act to survive."

"The question is why he didn't leave. He couldn't have stayed on purpose, could he?"

Those who knew the situation discussed softly. They could not determine Song Shi's situation with their naked eyes and first impression.

The few people who had taken Song Shi's things looked at each other and felt a little awkward. n0๐”ณโ„ฏ๐ฟ๐šž๐—Œ๐’ƒ.๐’ธ0๐“‚

If the other party was really the Blood-Robed old ghost, their previous actions were indeed a little overboard. After all, this guy was considered one of them.

Even in the Demonic Sect, bullying one's own people was not a glorious thing.

"Cough, are you Blood-Robed old ghost or Ye Wenzhong?"

Lu Jiu interrupted him and stared at Song Shi with bright eyes, trying to determine his situation.

"You've all suppressed me in that damned place. Is it important who I am? Return my things to me. I want to leave the Heavenly Ghost Sect. I'm not playing with you anymore!"

Song Shi was furious.

"Blood-robed Elder, your situation is special. It's better for you to stay for a while longer. Let's confirm your identity first."

Lu Jiu refused. "If you're really the Blood-Robed old ghost, we can apologize to you. If you're Ye Wenzhong, we naturally won't let you off."

"Then how do you want me to prove myself?" Song Shi asked. He did not know how to prove himself.

"Uh, it's indeed not easy to prove, but there are ways to check if you're the real person."

Lu Jiu pondered for a moment. "Everyone's soul might not necessarily be the same. Based on the match between the soul and the physical body, we can determine if you were possessed or not."

Shi Tianya spoke.

"Yes, this method will be affected by the last time he possessed someone else. There's no way to determine who he is."

Ghost Butcher nodded. The Blood-Robed old ghost's situation was special, so he really could not check like this.

Song Shi pursed his lips. If he really went to check, there would be no problem at all. There were no signs of him being possessed.

This kind of thing was his secret. He was not interested in talking about it, nor did he want to cooperate with a soul inspection.

In the words of his previous life, who would go to the hospital for a checkup when they were not sick?

"Don't talk to me about this. Give me back my things first!"

Song Shi was impatient. Other than a set of clothes and something that had yet to be taken out from the system, he had nothing else.

"I'm sorry, we can't be sure if you're the Blood-Robed old ghost. We can't give it to you."

Lu Jiu refused.

Not only did he refuse, but he also waved his hand to signal his disciples to surround Song Shi. Amidst the rumbling sounds, the Array Formation Power intensified, wanting to stop Song Shi from escaping.

Song Shi sighed, "We've done things together. Don't make me your enemy."

"You sure talk big. What can you do here?"

Shi Tianya sneered.

"Hehe, then why didn't your array formation lock me down?"

Song Shi said disdainfully, "If I want to leave, you can't stop me. However, you have to understand that once I leave, I'll make you spit out twice the things you took!"

All the cultivators of Heavenly Ghost Sect revealed furious expressions.

"You sure talk big!"

"Where did he get the confidence to be so arrogant in front of the entire Heavenly Ghost Sect?"

The group of disciples and elders were furious when they saw Song Shi. If not for the fact that the sect master had not spoken, they might have swarmed up and beaten Song Shi up.

Lu Jiu stared at Song Shi and looked into the abyss again.

As the sect master, he knew how powerful this array formation was. Until now, he had yet to discover how Song Shi had escaped the seal.

This person did not escape after escaping. Now, he was still inexplicably confident. Could it be that he could really leave under heavy siege?

Was he acting, or did he really have the ability to escape?

He thought for a moment and said, "Blood-Robed old ghost, let's make a bet. If you can leave under heavy encirclement, not only will my Heavenly Ghost Sect return the items to you, but we will also compensate you tenfold. How about that?"

"Oh, you want to find out more about me?"

Song Shi mocked, "But since you want to give me something for free, it would be a waste if I refuse."

Many people's expressions changed. Why was this fellow so confident? Could it be that he could really do it?

"Oh, so you're going to take a gamble?"

Lu Jiu was no longer sure. He was certain that Ye Wenzhong did not have this ability. Otherwise, he would not have been forced to possess the body and be brought back with the Blood-Robed old ghost to be sealed in the Array.

It couldn't be Ye Wenzhong's method, so there was only one possibility.

He was the Blood-Robed old ghost!

If the Blood-Robed old ghost could do these things, it would not be too surprising for him to win in the possession.

His expression changed. Should he gamble or not?

"Sect Master Lu, if you want to bet, remember to return the items to me. You still haven't rewarded me for the previous few operations. I don't want to work for nothing."

Song Shi smiled and said, "So what about it? Do you dare to gamble?"

Lu Jiu pondered for a moment and made a decision. He said affirmatively, "Let's bet. At most, we'll compensate you with a sum of resources. Our Heavenly Ghost Sect can still afford this."

Report chapter Comments

"Then come. Let's see if you, thousands of cultivators and ghosts, can keep me here."

Song Shi laughed out loud. He originally did not want to fall out with the Heavenly Ghost Sect, but Lu Jiu had given him an interesting try, so he naturally had to acquiesce.

It would be a waste not to take ten times the compensation.

"Everyone, be gentle."

Lu Jiu waved his hand.

Although they said that, the cultivators and ghosts who had long disliked Song Shi did not hold back and unleashed their killer moves.

For a moment, the sky was filled with attacks. Song Shi was suppressed by the power of the array above his head, and ghost head chains wrapped around his feet.

"Everyone's so passionate."

Song Shi smiled awkwardly. Even Nascent Souls and Martial Emperors would be killed by such dense attacks.

It would be a miracle if he was not beaten to death.

Therefore, he died an immediate death.

A certain lucky person had snatched his head. But his cultivation level should not be high as the system reward was pitifully low.

Seeing Song Shi blasted into pieces, Shi Tianya was surprised. "That's it? There doesn't seem to be anything special."

Beside him, his master, Ghost Butcher, changed his expression, "No, his broken body has disappeared!"

Powerful Divine Consciousnesses swept over and carefully investigated the surroundings, but they didn't find any traces of him.

This person seemed to have suddenly disappeared and never existed.

"You didn't find anything?"

Lu Jiu asked.

"No, his aura disappeared along with his shattered body."

Ghost Butcher shook his head.

"Looks like he really won the bet."

Lu Jiu muttered, "Strange, his Dharma treasure, the Blood River, has been taken away. He doesn't have any Dharma treasures now. How did he escape?"

"I can't think of a way to do it. I might have to go back and check the books."

Outside the Heavenly Ghost Sect, Song Shi appeared out of thin air.

He heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh my god, this is the first time I've been ganged up on by so many people. I was completely stunned just now."

Song Shi felt fearful, "Fortunately, I can revive. Otherwise, who would be able to withstand it?"

He observed his surroundings. After confirming his location, he knew he had arrived outside.

After casting Ragnarok, he did not have enough time to escape from the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

However, he had already taken the opportunity to set up the resurrection point outside the sect.

Now, the range of the resurrection point he could set was the range of his mental strength. Before the Heaven Ghost Sect Array Formation was completely sealed, he had modified it in time.

Otherwise, he would have to use the alternative resurrection point and return to his hometown in one go.

Having cultivated a Spiritual Technique, his current Spiritual strength was far stronger than those of the same level. It could already cover nearly a hundred miles.

Therefore, he was still quite far away from the Heavenly Ghost Sect's array formation. Of course, this sect's range was indeed relatively large, and he was only at the periphery.

"Time to go back to get ten times the compensation!"

Song Shi grinned, double checked the directions and flew out with a whoosh.

A huge sinkhole appeared in front of them. It was about a hundred miles in diameter and was emitting a cold aura.

"It's huge!"

Song Shi took a deep breath. He had seen tall mountains, but he had never seen such a huge pit. It looked like it had collapsed from the middle, as if the ground had collapsed.

"Is this the ghost pit of the Nether City? It indeed lives up to its reputation."

Song Shi praised. This special terrain was only heard of in the memories of the Blood-Robed old ghost. This was the first time he had seen it. It felt especially spectacular.

He continued to fly closer and realized that Lu Jiu and the others were still searching for him in the pit near the center. They did not expect him to have escaped.

"I don't believe he can escape!"

"He must have used some strange method to hide here so that we can't discover him!"

"Blood-Robed old ghost, come out!"

Many people shouted nearby, thinking that Song Shi was hiding.

"I'm not a child. Do you think I'll hide from you?"

Song Shi replied disdainfully.

Swish swish swish!

Gazes instantly gathered in the sky and landed on the figure floating outside the array. Then, their pupils involuntarily constricted and they revealed shocked expressions.

"Heavens, he's really not dead!"

"He even escaped. He managed to escape the sect's array formation."

"What kind of method did he use?"

The group was flabbergasted, and they were extremely interested in Song Shi's secret.

After all, this was the strongest life-saving method they had ever seen. It was also the most powerful escape method.

The sect's array formation couldn't seal him. With so many people surrounding and attacking him, he still couldn't be killed.

What other methods did this world have to destroy him? No matter how everyone thought about it, there wouldn't be many.

"Why are you all so enthusiastic? Why are you all looking at me?"

Song Shi crossed his arms and landed on the sect's array formation with a smile. He was not worried that someone would control the Array Formation to attack him.

Lu Youyou was startled by the commotion midway and happened to see the other party being surrounded. Now that she was standing here unscathed, she was a little stunned.

"He's actually so powerful. How am I going to defeat him and humiliate him?"

She felt like she had suffered a blow. The confidence in her heart dissipated and she lost her fighting spirit.

Not to mention him, Shi Tianya and the other inner sect disciples could only open their mouths and admit defeat.

Not to mention how strong this person's direct combat strength was, even a Soul Transformation cultivator could not compare to this life-saving method.

The people who wanted to beat Song Shi up were all afraid. The discussions stopped, and the entire sect suddenly fell silent. It was a little strange.

"Haha, good move!"

Lu Jiu laughed loudly and flew up from the ground to meet Song Shi. "Blood-robed Elder, your escape technique is impressive. Even the Soul Transformation realm might not be comparable to your level right now."

After thinking about it, he could only deduce Song Shi's method to be a secretive escape technique or that he had possessed some powerful Dharma treasures which helped him escape.

No matter which one it was, it meant that the Blood-Robed old ghost was very threatening at this moment.

After all, it was very difficult to kill him as a target. If one rashly offended him, the revenge would be very terrifying because no one could kill him. Instead, they would be the ones constantly dying.

When the others heard Lu Jiu's deductions, they felt that they had found the reason and heaved a sigh of relief.

The unknown was terrifying. If they couldn't figure out this person's escape method, they would feel uneasy.

With an escape technique as an excuse, it was still within their understanding.

"Cut the crap. Return all my things to me. That will be my reward along with ten times the compensation!"

Song Shi said impatiently. It would be a waste not to take the benefits.

"No problem. Blood-robed Elder, follow me!"

Lu Jiu politely extended his hand to lead the way and personally brought Song Shi to a tall palace.

As soon as they entered, Lu Jiu took out a black token and handed it to Song Shi, "Blood-robed elder, from today onwards, you are the grand elder!" n0๐ฏ๐”ข๐“๐‘ข๐—Œ๐›.๐—ฐ0๐“‚

"Oh, I'm just a Gold Core Realm cultivator. How am I qualified to be a Supreme Elder? It's better to compensate me with some practical benefits. I'm not interested in this kind of false reputation."

Song Shi waved his hand.

Lu Jiu laughed heartily, "Blood-robed Elder, you've misunderstood. This is the position you deserve. Our Heavenly Ghost Sect respects strength. Whoever has the ability can obtain status and resources. You escaped the seal of the array and still managed to escape with ease under the siege of everyone. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators don't even have such ability. If you don't have the qualifications, who does?"

He continued, "You don't have to worry about the reduction in compensation. You deserve it. This is not included in the compensation."

"That's better. Let's get straight to the point."

Lu Jiu stretched out his hand. "My storage ring and Dharma treasures."

"Cough, some expendable things are hard to get back. Let's compensate you with something more precious."

Lu Jiu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it. A golden light flashed on the huge pillar in the distance, and a Spear flew over.

Lu Jiu checked the situation of the Spear and realized that there was no reaction from Song Shi.

He thought to himself, "Old Dog Ye really failed. Otherwise, his Dharma treasures would have reacted to him."

He was certain that the other party was the Blood-Robed old ghost. He handed the Spear over. "This low-grade spirit weapon is yours. Treat it as a portion of compensation. How about that?"

"That's more like it!"

Song Shi's eyes lit up. Back then, when he saw Ye Wenzhong use this Spear, he felt that it was very domineering and mighty.

He grabbed it and a heavy feeling surged over. He asked, "Is this a low-grade spiritual artifact?"

"A genuine low-grade spirit artifact is something that even ordinary Nascent Souls would find difficult to possess. Don't think that just because you encountered a few Numinous artifacts in the ruins of the Myriad Poison Mountain's Holy Gu Sect that this thing is common. In fact, it's still very rare, even I only have one too."

Report chapter Comments

"I know."

Nomological power surged out of Song Shi's palm. The golden spear gave off a resistance, as if it was unwilling to be controlled by him.

"There's still some of Old Dog Ye's power left inside. It will instinctively stop you from controlling it. You'll need some time to refine it."

When Shi Tianya saw the reaction of the golden spear, he knew that this person could not be Ye Wenzhong. Otherwise, the spear would not be like this.

Song Shi stuck it at the side and said, "How much is this compensation?"

"The value of these Numinous artifacts is ten times that of top-notch Dharma treasures therefore I'll have to deduct your remuneration. How about eight times the compensation?"

Lu Jiu discussed.

"Be more sincere. I also have treasures that are comparable to Numinous artifacts. Even if that piece of spirit soil can't compare to this golden spear, it's completely worth twenty to thirty percent of it. This doesn't count as anything else."

Song Shi said coldly, "My Blood River Dharma treasures are already quasi-Numinous artifacts. The Wisdom Tea Tree is also very valuable. With the addition of spirit soil, it's not too much to exchange for half a golden spear, right?"

Ghost Butcher widened his eyes. "You're asking for an exorbitant price. Don't tell me we have to compensate you with five Numinous artifacts?"

"This doesn't count as other small things. No matter what, you have to compensate five and a half more."

Song Shi shrugged, "You guys were quite generous just now, but now you can't bear to part with it?"

Lu Jiu waved his hand, "You guys don't have to defend anymore. My Heavenly Ghost Sect admits defeat."

He did not deduct anything. Since this person was so powerful, if he could win him over, his future gains would definitely be more worth than this compensation.

"Sect Master Lu is so generous."

Song Shi realized that Lu Jiu was quite generous. He had the temperament of an ambitious and ruthless person.

With such a person as the sect master, the Heavenly Ghost Sect would definitely continue to grow stronger.

"We don't have any extra Numinous artifacts. We can only compensate you with other things. How about we give it to you in batches? As compensation for the delay, I'll give you contribution points worth six Numinous artifacts."

Lu Jiu did not lower the compensation. Instead, he added half a Numinous artifact. However, he had to delay the delivery.

"In Instalments?"

Song Shi frowned. He knew that asking for so many things at once would hurt even the Heavenly Ghost Sect, so he did not reject it directly.

"That's right. We'll give you contribution points. As for spirit stones, medicinal pills, talismans, cultivation techniques, divine arts, and other resources, you can use contribution points to exchange for them according to your needs. This will be beneficial to both of us."

"That works too."

Song Shi nodded and asked, "If you have contribution points, you can exchange for anything?"

"Right, but some things will be restricted, but not against you. It's to ensure a certain amount of inventory."

Lu Jiu explained patiently.

This made Song Shi feel very comfortable.

Lu Jiu had never lied to him before, so he really had no reason to find fault with him. He nodded. "Alright, let's leave it at that."

"I did some calculations. Based on the average value of a low-grade spirit weapon, the sect will give you 1.8 million contribution points. In our Heavenly Ghost Sect, one contribution point is roughly worth a low-grade spirit stone. It's enough for you to cultivate for a thousand years."

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "As for your items, I'll return them to you if they haven't been consumed. The items that have been used will be compensated equally. How about that?"

"You've arranged it so well. What else do I have to say?"

Song Shi pulled out the golden spear. "Where do I live?"

Lu Jiu said to Old Man Nightmare, "Uncle Nightmare, arrange a high-grade cave abode for him."

Song Shi came to a cave abode at the edge of the ghost pit. The pure and cold Spiritual Qi turned into a foggy state, forming a sharp contrast with the cold wind outside.

It was obvious that this was also a special blessed land. It was very suitable for Yin cultivators. It was also not bad for people like him who were overly Yang.

"The density of the Spiritual Qi is three times that of the outside world. Even if the cultivation speed here is not increased by several times, it will always be faster than outside."

Song Shi muttered in his heart.

This was the difference between having a faction and not having one. It was not easy for rogue cultivators to occupy such a place to cultivate.

"Elder Blood Robes, are you satisfied?"

Old Man Nightmare asked politely. In the past, the Blood-Robed old ghost and he were both inner sect elders and belonged to the same level.

Now that he had advanced to Grand Supreme, his Ability was powerful, so he naturally looked at him in a different light. n0๐”ณ๐“ฎ๐‘ณ๐“ค๐“ˆ๐”Ÿ.๐œ0๐—†

"That's right. This is the best cultivation place I've ever seen."

Song Shi readily voiced his thoughts and continued, "I just need someone to order around. Where's my maid, Xiao Qin?"

He had been served by others since he was young. Usually, he needed someone to take care of some miscellaneous matters when he cultivated, so he naturally had to get a maid to come over.

He just didn't know how Bai Xiaoqin was doing while he was sealed.

Without him as her support, Bai Xiaoqin might be in trouble.

"Your maid is quite talented. An elder took a fancy to her and took her in as a disciple. I'll help you contact her. You can talk about it yourself."

Old Man Nightmare smiled.

"Just take me there. I want to see her."

Song Shi was prepared to understand Bai Xiaoqin's thoughts. If she was unwilling to be his maid, he would not force her.

"This is the restriction token of the cave dwelling. It's equivalent to a key. You can use it by refining it with your Psyche Power. Please keep it well, Blood-robed Elder."

Old Man Nightmare took out a white jade token and handed it to Song Shi.

Song Shi gave it a try. After injecting his Spiritual strength, he immediately obtained information about this cave abode. It was a little like the control hub of the security system.

There was no problem with trying to control the Array Formation with it. Song Shi followed Old Man Nightmare to the cave abode area outside.

"This area is a medium-grade cave abode. The Spiritual Qi density is twice that of the outside world. The low-grade cave abode in the outer sect is only half of that."

Old Man Nightmare casually explained and pointed at a cave abode in the distance. "This is Elder Wang's residence. He cultivates ghost cultivation techniques and has several pure ghost cultivators under him."

The style of this cave abode was an ancient residence with a cold aura. There were two red lanterns hanging at the entrance, emitting a strange color. Coupled with the already gloomy ghost pit, it looked like a ghost residence at first glance.

In fact, there were indeed ghosts inside, but they were not wandering ghosts, but ghosts that knew how to cultivate.

"Ghost cultivatorsโ€ฆ"

Song Shi fell into deep thought. There were two types of ghostly cultivators. One was living people who cultivated ghostly cultivation techniques and became neither human nor ghost. The other type of existence was souls who cultivated without a physical body. They were equivalent to ghosts with cultivation.

Either way, they were no longer walking the orthodox path of becoming immortal. Even if they were powerful enough in the future, they would still go to the Nine Nether and live in darkness for the rest of their life.

Those who walked this path either had special Talents or people like Bai Xiaoqin who had no choice.

"This Elder Wang's background is quite interesting. He was originally in the mortal world doing business with the dead. He accidentally came into contact with immortal cultivation techniques. Later on, he couldn't stop himself and finally came to our sect."

Old Man Nightmare said casually.

"What dead man's business?"

"He collected the corpses and buried them. I heard that he obtained his first immortal cultivation technique in the graveyard. He's considered a legend in his hometown."

"Looks like there's some luck involved."

Song Shi was deep in thought. In this world, if one was not in a sect, it was extremely difficult to cultivate outside.

"However, in our sect, his strength seems a little ordinary. However, this person often deals with ghosts and has a good relationship with the Ghost Kings of the Spirit Land."

The Blood-Robed old ghost revealed some information.

"Spirit Land?" Song Shi still did not know the situation of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

"It's in the depths of the ghost pit. There's no sunlight there all year round, and the yin energy is dense. Over the years, many powerful ghosts have accumulated. In ancient times, a powerhouse opened up a space and nurtured many Ghost Emperors. They can be considered neighbors of our Heavenly Ghost Sect."

Song Shi could not help but think of the densely packed ghosts he had seen in the ghost pit.

"If the Blood-robed Elder wants to know more about the situation, he can just go and check the sect's ancient records."

Old Man Nightmare didn't say much. When they arrived in front of the haunted house, the red door in front of them looked very strange, as if it was dyed red with blood.

"Is Elder Wang here? The Blood-robed Elder is looking for you."

He shouted at the cave abode.

In the cave abode, Wang Xilian shivered. "Damn it, how did they find us so quickly!"

"Damn it, what should I do? I just sent his maid away and this guy actually jumped out with a whoosh!"

He cursed in a low voice, but he did not dare to reply. n0๐‘ฃ๐—ฒ๐‹๐”ฒ๐‘†๐‘ฉ.๐—ฐ0๐ฆ

Song Shi waited outside for a moment and frowned slightly.

"Perhaps Elder Wang isn't around and you know the place. Why don't you come and take a look next time?"

Old Man Nightmare smiled awkwardly.

"He's inside. He doesn't seem to want to see me."

Song Shi looked at the array formation outside the cave abode and sneered.

This array formation was only Class 4. Not to mention seeing through it at a glance, it was not a problem to determine if its master was inside.

Old Man Nightmare stared at the cave abode in surprise and realized that something was wrong.

Elder Wang had appeared before. Now that he had avoided meeting him, he most likely had done a disservice to Song Shi.

If even he could conclude this, how could Song Shi not sense it?

He secretly sent a thought, "Elder Wang, you know the Blood-Robed old ghost's personality. It's useless to dodge. If you don't want to be beaten up, you'd better meet him."

In the cave dwelling, Wang Xilian's expression changed. In the end, he gritted his teeth and stood up. "Zhu'er, Sha'er, hurry up and welcome the guests!"

Squeak~

The red door of the mansion opened, and two phantoms, red and yellow, appeared lightly. They flew in front of Song Shi and Old Man Nightmare without touching the ground.

"Greetings, Elders."

Song Shi saw that the two Spirits were bowing to him timidly.

A middle-aged man in a long black robe strode over from the door. His aura was cold, and his face was long and pale. His lips seemed to be covered in makeup and he did not look like a living person at a glance.

Putting on a stiff smile, the latter clasped his fist and said, "Greetings to the two of you. Why are you suddenly looking for me?"

"Where's Xiao Qin? I want to see her."

Song Shi went straight to the point. He felt that since this guy was a little fishy, there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Xiao Qinโ€ฆ Sheโ€ฆ She went out on a mission and won't be back for a while."

Wang Xilian said calmly.

"Really?"

Song Shi looked at the latter meaningfully. "I don't have a good temper. Whoever provokes me will definitely take revenge. I don't want to get into a conflict with Elder Wang again after I've just fought."

Wang Xilian felt uncomfortable. This was clearly a threat and he was getting a little afraid.

"It's indeed a quest. I saw that Xiao Qin is talented and is a Spirit, so I arranged for her to cultivate in the Ghost World. Her cultivation speed there will definitely be much faster than here."

Wang Xilian insisted that it was a Quest and did not say that he had arranged it on purpose.

Song Shi did not have any evidence to prove that the other party had maliciously dealt with Bai Xiaoqin. He only said firmly, "Ask her to come back. I have something to discuss with her."

The latter immediately looked troubled, "This is very troublesome. The Spirit Land is special. I can't communicate with it for the time being."

A golden light flashed in Song Shi's hand. He took out a golden Spear and spun it in his hand. He stared at Wang Xilian with a dark expression, "Do you want to taste the power of these Dharma treasures?"

Wang Xilian's voice became much louder. "Why? Blood-robed Elder, are you going to hit me? What right do you have to hit me?"

"Are you still playing me for a fool?"

Song Shi's body emitted a golden light, and a powerful pressure enveloped the surroundings. His scorching Nomological power turned into flames and burned. The extreme Yang power made Zhu'er and Sha'er scream miserably. Their bodies were burned by the masculine power and they hurriedly hid back in their cave abodes in fear.

Wang Xilian's body was emitting sizzling sounds as the things smeared on it slowly melted. His expression was ugly. "Blood-Robed old ghost, don't go overboard. I'm not easy to bully!"

"Haha!"

Without another word, Song Shi raised the Spear that he had yet to refine and smashed it over.

The latter's expression was cold. A long needle appeared in front of him and he stabbed it at Song Shi.

He did not stab his weapon. Dharma treasures like needles were not suitable for head-on collisions with Spears.

The hair-thin needle shot towards Song Shi's eyes. Although it was a Dharma treasure, the destructive power it contained made Song Shi's eyes hurt. This was under the condition that he had not yet been stabbed.

A circle of solid golden light appeared on his body. This was the power of the Diamond Spirit Body. Coupled with the powerful Nine Yang Nomological power, it formed layers of Defense.

On the other hand, Wang Xilian also activated the protective power of his Dharma treasures.

BANG!

Wang Xilian, who had Dharma treasures protecting him, was instantly sent flying back, smashing a hole in the door of his cave abode.

Wang Xilian's needle was stuck in Song Shi's Defense although it almost pierced his skin. In the end, both sides were in a stalemate.

His pupils constricted.

Was their difference in strength so obvious? This person didn't even seem to have used much strength.

He stood up from the broken door and pulled. There seemed to be a thread on the tail of the needle, and he pulled it back.

"Yo, playing with needles?"

Song Shi glanced at the Diamond Spirit Body's barrier that had been pierced through. If he had not used a portion of his strength just now, he would probably have been injured.

This was the first time he had encountered someone of the same level who could break through his defense so easily. Needle-shaped Dharma treasures were indeed indispensable.

He wasn't afraid. He rushed over and smashed randomly, causing Wang Xilian to suffer a loss.

"Blood-robed Elder, please show mercy."

Old Man Nightmare had no choice but to stop the fight. He was afraid that if the fight continued, Wang Xilian would be beaten to death.

"I won't stop until he tells me."

Song Shi continued to approach Wang Xilian. The Dharmic powers on his body surged even more, and his Aura was increasing.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Wang Xilian's door was shattered by Song Shi. He vomited blood non-stop.

His eyes were filled with shock.

Was the disparity between them so great?

He had tried his best to attack, but he was no match for him at all. The other party was simply a humanoid Dharma treasure. His body was hard and his strength was terrifying.

"Stop it, I admit defeat!"

He raised his hands in surrender, "I've arranged for your maid to be assigned to a Ghost King in the Ghost Realm. But this is a good thing for her!"

Report chapter Comments

"Arrangements? I think you gave her away as a gift. Without a person to support her, she became goods for you to trade?"

Song Shi sneered.

This was not too surprising.

Bai Xiaoqin was still too weak and beautiful. It would be difficult for her to control her own fate.

Without his support, it was normal for her to be sold against her will.

"No, I asked for her opinion. As a ghost, it's definitely better to follow the Ghost King than me."

Wang Xilian denied.

"Blood-robed Elder, look, Elder Wang didn't do it on purpose. Why don't we forget about this matter?"

Old Man Nightmare mediated.

"That's right. She's just a maid who has just entered the Qi Refinement realm. Why do you care so much?"

Elder Wang pretended to be relaxed.

"She's mine. It's up to me to make the arrangements. Are you worthy of her?"

Song Shi's expression was arrogant as he retorted fiercely.

Bai Xiaoqin had fallen to such a state because of him and the Song family. She had followed him for a period of time, and he, Song Shi, was not as heartless as some old monsters. Naturally, he could not ignore her plight.

Wang Xilian's face was ashen, but he didn't dare to retort. Otherwise, the Spear above his head would immediately smash down.

"Get up and take me to the Ghost King you mentioned!"

Song Shi kicked Wang Xilian.

"You must be joking. Don't you know that the Spirit Land is a space for ghosts to survive? If living people go there, their lives will be in danger."

Wang Xilian's eyes widened, "At most, I'll help you inform them or get the sect master to open a Teleportation channel for you to communicate directly."

"Lead the way!"

Song Shi stabbed the golden spear beside his thigh. "Or I can kill you and turn you into a ghost first. That way, you'll be suitable to go to the Spirit Land."

Wang Xilian swallowed his saliva. He felt that Song Shi was not joking.

He did not want to lose his physical body, so he could only stand up resentfully. "Actually, it's not a big problem for us Golden Core cultivators to take a walk in the Spirit Land as long as we're careful."

Old Man Nightmare took his leave tactfully. "Since the two of you are going to the Spirit Land, I still have something on, so I won't follow you."

Seeing that Old Man Nightmare was about to slip away, Wang Xilian hurriedly said, "Hey, Elder Nightmare, didn't you want to go to the Spirit Land to find a special type of Spirits last time? Since it's on the way. After we're done, I'll help you find them."

But Old Man Nightmare ignored him and ran away.

He was just a guide and did not want to get involved in their matters.

Wang Xilian's face darkened. He had to face this demon alone now. Thinking of his opponent's achievements, he felt immense pressure.

"Come on, why are you dilly-dallying?"

Song Shi was impatient. He wanted to see what was going on in the Spirit Land. Perhaps he could die a few more times and get a ten consecutive lottery draw.

Wang Xilian flew towards the ghost pit with a bitter expression and started free-falling.

Song Shi had returned to the pit again. The grayish-black fog was surging upwards. There were dense chains in the central area that connected to the surrounding rock walls, as if they were sealing something.

Among them, ghosts could be seen floating from time to time. However, these ghosts were all part of the array and were not free.

"Could this array formation be used to seal the Spirit Land?"

Song Shi observed all the way and plummeted one hundred thousand feet in one go. The lower he went, the wider the diameter became.

After passing through the darkness, he saw a large number of ghost flames at the bottom, illuminating the densely packed ghost shadows.

As the ghostly wind blew past, Song Shi could sense his Nomological power barrier trembling. It was slowly being corroded by the ghostly wind.

Although the speed of corrosion was not very fast, it was constantly eroding.

Song Shi was like a light in the night, attracting pairs of malicious eyes. n0๐—โ„ฏ๐ฟ๐‘ข๐—Œ๐‘.๐‚0๐”ช

Greed, hostilityโ€ฆ Song Shi felt that many gazes on him from people who wanted to kill him and eat him.

On the contrary, Wang Xilian was quite at ease. He felt like a fish in water.

He became more confident and glanced at Song Shi from the corner of his eye. "Blood-robed Elder, your powerful blood qi will easily attract the covetous eyes of ghosts. Are you sure you want to continue?"

BANG!

Song Shi slapped the fellow and sent him flying. He said unhappily, "If there's something wrong with your eyes, go and treat it. It's not good if your eyesight is bad."

Wang Xilian spat out a mouthful of blood from the powerful slap. He bent his body and recovered his body. "I take back what I said just now. The Blood-robed elder is extraordinary. What are mere demons and monsters compared to him?"

He coughed up blood and led the way, not daring to provoke Song Shi again.

"Boohooโ€ฆ"

It was pitch-black along the way. There were the sounds of women and children crying and the roars of wild beasts. This space seemed to be filled with all kinds of demons and monsters.

As the ghost wind howled, one ghost after another silently approached.

"You punks want to drink my blood?"

Song Shi was disdainful. He released a wisp of Nomological power and turned into a sun on the spot, illuminating the surroundings.

"Ah!"

The surrounding ghosts screamed miserably. TTheir expressions of agony were ferocious as they turned into green smoke and dissipated.

Wang Xilian was shocked. This person's Nomological power was so domineering. Just the light he emitted evaporated normal ghosts on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of ghosts retreated. No ghosts dared to approach Song Shi again, and the path was smooth.

"What did you used to do?"

Song Shi seemed bored and asked casually.

Wang Xilian was surprised. Why did this person care about his past? He replied casually, "I was a corpse stitcher. Sometimes I also helped out with manual labor, such as carrying coffins and digging tombs."

"Oh, no wonder you used needle-type Dharma treasures. I thought you were a eunuch who cultivated the Sunflower Bible[1โ€ณSunflower Bible" is a cultivation manual that eunuchs cultivate from the Chinese classic, "The Smiling, Proud Wandered" it is supposed to help eunuchs cultivate domestic prowess] ."

Song Shi was enlightened.

"I seem to have heard that eunuchs in Great Qian also cultivate a very powerful cultivation technique that likes to use needle-shaped Dharma treasures. However, what kind of divine technique is the Sunflower Bible?"

Report chapter Comments

Wang Xilian was curious. n0๐—๐—ฒ๐—…๐—Ž๐•Š๐”Ÿ.๐’ธ0๐“œ

"It's a cultivation technique suitable for eunuchs. It can turn a man into a woman."

Song Shi smiled cheekily.

"That's a little similar to the Beautiful Moon Demonic Technique of the Yao Moon Palace."

Wang Xilian understood immediately.

"The Yao Moon Palace has such a technique?"

Song Shi was surprised.

"Yes, I heard that not long ago, a person who cultivated this technique died inexplicably in the Yao Moon Palace. Because she was actually a man, everyone discussed this for a few days."

Wang Xilian nodded. "Actually, it's not just the Yao Moon Palace. Sky Demon Cult also has it. This kind of technique is even more bizarre than the ghostly path techniques I cultivate."

Song Shi interrupted, "Wait, what did you say the name of the dead one was?"

"An elder called Daoist Lu Yue. Hehe, this person once had some emotional ties with a Guardian of Sky Demon Cult. The most important part is that they were both men in the beginning so it was a good story to gossip about back then. It's a pity that no matter how pure a relationship is, it can't withstand time."

Wang Xilian laughed strangely and said with interest.

He saw that Song Shi's expression was a little off, "What's wrong? Do Blood-robed elder know of them?"

"Hehe, we are more than just acquaintances."

Song Shi shook his head fearfully.

Fortunately, he did not dual cultivate with that old woman back then. Otherwise, he would lose his reputation.

Wang Xilian began to chatter non-stop until they arrived at the bottom of the ghost pit.

"We've arrived at the entrance to the Spirit Land!"

Wang Xilian suddenly stopped. In the fog, an underground river appeared, emitting a strange green light.

"This is the Ghost River that leads to the Spirit Land. The location of the light source is the entrance."

Wang Xilian pointed at the end of the long river. A blurry domain of light was fluctuating with the river and some Spirits were entering and exiting.

"That's interesting."

Song Shi stared at the river for a moment before lowering his body and touching it with his hand.

It was as if he had touched sulfuric acid. The terrifying corrosive power melted his magic barrier.

At this moment, Song Shi felt like he was a raging fire meeting ice. The two extreme powers quickly neutralized each other.

"This is the Ghost River. Only ghosts and evil spirits can enter."

Wang Xilian stood at the side and explained. He wanted to see if Song Shi dared to go down, but a hand grabbed him.

"Go and try."

He was thrown into the river by Song Shi.

Plop!

With the sound of falling into the water, Wang Xilian fell into the strange river in a sorry state. A bone-chilling power surged over.

"โ€ฆ"

Wang Xilian almost cursed. The cold power made a layer of white frost appear on his body. He hurriedly formed a seal and a circle of Nomological power surged out to block the power in the water.

"It seems like nothing has happened. It can't kill me."

Song Shi looked at the light source in the water and jumped in. He quickly swam over.

It looked very close, but in fact, the light source was very far away. The nearby ghosts did not seem to be affected by the water. Instead, it was him, a living person, whose magic power was being quickly consumed.

After diving for about half a minute, Song Shi came to the light source. The space here was distorted, and there was a huge spatial crack.

In the crack was a water door engraved with cold runes. Inside stood a bull-headed ghost.

"Ox-Head?"

Song Shi was stunned. This was the first time he had seen such a ghost.

"In front of the Spirit Gate, the living shall stop!"

The ox head buzzed as it stared coldly at Song Shi.

"Let the ghost I am looking for come out. Then I won't go in."

Song Shi said coldly.

"Human, this is not how you look for ghosts!"

BANG!

With a low collision sound, the bull-headed figure was immediately sent flying by Song Shi in a sorry state. It only stopped after falling for more than a hundred meters.

"Are all the ghosts guarding the door so confident now? Can't you see that I'm stronger than you? Why are you still so pretentious?"

Song Shi landed in front of the ghost door. He looked at the space inside and walked in without hesitation.

Song Shi's vision distorted, and the sense of space became chaotic for a moment. Then, he arrived at a green space.

"So green!"

Song Shi looked up in surprise. The space here was very large. It looked similar to the outside. There were mountains and rivers, but the sky was green, like a ghost fire. A green sun floated.

The grass and trees that were visible to the naked eye did not have any vitality. Instead, they were filled with a lifeless aura. The ground was filled with bones and blood rivers flowed. It looked like hell.

Here, Song Shi felt as if his soul was about to float out and fly towards the green sun in the sky.

"Human, aren't you afraid that your soul will dissipate if you dare to barge into the Spirit Gate?"

Ox-Head got up angrily and questioned.

"That depends on whether I have the ability to withstand it. However, it's more likely that I'll let your soul dissipate first."

Song Shi looked at Wang Xilian proudly. "Tell me which Ghost King it is. We'll go and find him directly!"

"Demon King Chi Huo."

Wang Xilian replied.

"Aren't the people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect a little too arrogant now? How dare they barge in without permission?"

A black shadow appeared and stared at Song Shi with a cold smile, revealing steel-like teeth.

Behind this black shadow were two ghostly figures. One had a scarlet tongue and the other had a long neck, like a snake.

Amidst the wild shrieks and howls, a group of demons and monsters appeared. They were wearing special armor and were all staring at them with hostility.

Of course, in the eyes of these guys, there were still some who were greedy and wanted to eat them.

"Mu Can, don't be so agitated. We're only here to look for a ghost, not to fight with you."

Wang Xilian hurriedly explained. Now that he had been forcefully dragged in by Song Shi, he had actually broken the rules of tacit understanding between the Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Spirit Land.

"Corpse Stitcher, cut the crap. Today, either you get out of here immediately or you die here!"

Mu Can's brows turned cold, and a dangerous aura appeared on his body.

He was the person in charge of guarding the entrance to the Spirit Land, so he naturally could not let anyone in.

"Come, if you don't kill me today, I'll kill you."

Song Shi grinned. He was deliberately being impolite because he wanted to provoke someone to kill him.

"You sure talk big!"

Mu Can raised his hand. His sharp nails were exceptionally long. When he held them slightly, they were like steel knives. He walked towards Song Shi with a cold expression.

Wang Xilian tactfully retreated, giving both sides room to fight.

"Die!"

A cold light flashed under Mu Can's hand. His nails carried terrifying destructive power. With a sway of his feet, he arrived in front of Song Shi in the blink of an eye and stabbed at his eyes.

Facing the abnormally fast claws, Song Shi was slightly surprised.

This fellow was only at the level of a Ghost King. Why did he feel like he couldn't stop him in time? If it were someone of the same level as him, he would probably have suffered a loss on the spot.

He looked at the sneer on the other party's lips. A golden bell-like energy shield appeared on his body. With an ear-piercing friction sound, the ghost claw cut marks on the shield.

Song Shi was deep in thought. "It's not that he's fast. It's just that my reaction speed has slowed down. There's something wrong with this space."

He sensed that his soul and body were affected by a force and became incompatible. He immediately visualized the moon and his Spiritual strength condensed into one. As the white light between his eyebrows lit up, a light flashed in his eyes. He grabbed the ghost claw and exerted strength.

Crack!

The black ghost claw with sharp nails was broken on the spot with a bang.

A fire dragon sent Mu Can, who had lost an arm, flying. Half of his body was shattered by the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

Song Shi looked at Mu Can, who was injured but not bleeding. The latter's body was illusory and was slowly fusing, "Without a physical body, you won't be able to beat him up!"

This made Wang Xilian subconsciously cover his chest and sigh in his heart.

How did a blood-path demonic cultivator become a body-tempering cultivator who used brute force for no reason?

Mu Can's spirit body was injured, but his attitude did not change much. Instead, he pretended to be fierce, but he was weak inside. "Do you know that you've already violated the agreement between the Spirit Land and the outside world?"

"A deal with whom?"

Song Shi pursed his lips, "I didn't agree to it. Get lost!"

He casually threw out a fireball and it exploded with a bang, causing the other ghosts guarding the door to escape. No one dared to take him head-on.

The seemingly large number of ghosts were dispersed by Song Shi in the blink of an eye. Song Shi forcefully stepped into this unique space.

Many divine thoughts probed over and found that it was a living person who had barged into the Spirit Gate. Many of them were surprised.

"Who is this person? How dare he cause trouble in the Spirit Land?"

"You're quite arrogant, human. I'll slay you later and taste your blood."

The high-level ghosts living in this space were hostile to Song Shi.

Report chapter Comments

There was a commotion at the door. After a series of screams, the reapers guarding the door were completely wiped out.

Song Shi grabbed the long-necked ghost's neck with his right hand, dragged the long-tongued ghost's tongue with his other hand, and stepped on Mu Can.

"Tell Chi Huo to bring my maid over immediately!"

Song Shi's entire body burned with golden flames, like the Sun God's Relocate to the Spirit Land, dispelling the surrounding demons and monsters.

He kicked the long-tongued ghost out. "You have a long tongue. Go and report this to him!"

The long-tongued ghost ran away dejectedly. He did not know if he should report or call for reinforcements.

"Human, don't go too far. This is the kingdom of the ghosts."

The ox head roared angrily. A foot with flames landed and crushed his mouth. n0๐ฏ๐“”๐—…๐—Ž๐—Œ๐‘.๐’ธ0๐“‚

Wang Xilian looked at the messy battlefield with lingering fears, "Blood-robed elder, you will offend the entire Spirit Land if you continue to do this."

He really could not understand why this person was so arrogant. Was he really not afraid of death?

"Only the weak would compromise. I don't need to!"

Song Shi grabbed the long-necked ghost, "How many Ghost Emperors do you have here?"

"Even the sect master of the Heavenly Ghost Sect has to be polite to the three Ghost Emperors and the twenty-eight Ghost Kings. You won't be arrogant for long!"

The Long-neck ghost gritted his teeth.

"Oh, that's good. We'll have more fun later."

Song Shi calculated the number of lucky draws he could potentially get.

A Ghost King should be able to kill him. It wouldn't be a problem for him to die a few times here.

At this moment, a buzzing sound was heard. Amidst the rumbling sound, a black mountain beside them suddenly moved.

"Human, how did Lu Jiu let you in?"

RUMBLE!

Amidst the violent tremors, the white bones on the ground flew everywhere, and cracks appeared. The black mountain rose from the ground, and ghost Qi rippled, covering the sky. The green light was blocked by the black mountain.

"Not good, the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor has been alerted!"

His face turned green under the dim green light, "It's over. There's no way out. We have to quickly inform the sect master to save us."

Just as he was about to take out the token, he felt a chill on his back and a strand of cold hair wrapped around his neck, "Corpse Stitcher, if you don't want your head to be separated and become the target of stitching, you'd better stay obediently. We'll talk about your wrongs after we kill this guy."

Behind him, a white ghost had appeared out of nowhere. It had a head full of black hair that covered its white face, leaving only its exquisite chin.

Old Wang's body stiffened and he smiled awkwardly, "Zhen Nu, I'm also a victim. This lunatic forced me to come in."

"Hehe, he's indeed crazy. He dares to be so arrogant in my Spirit Land. Even Lu Jiu doesn't dare to do this."

Zhen Nu smiled mockingly and dragged Old Wang back, handing the battlefield to the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor.

The mountain spewed out billowing black smoke. Above the thousand-meter-tall figure, a pair of bull horns pointed at the sky. Its eyes were like two red suns, and its nostrils were covered in black smoke. It looked down at Song Shi, who was like an ant on the ground.

"Human, how dare you hit my son? You're courting death!"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor opened his mouth and formed a gust of wind that blew away sand and rocks, sending white bones flying.

Song Shi looked at the bull's head under his feet in surprise, "Good lord, you ghosts can give birth? How did you do it? How does it work?"

"Ignorant ant, what do you know!"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor sneered and spat out a mouthful of air. Like a hurricane, it landed on Song Shi's body and blew him away with the other ghosts.

Before Song Shi could stabilize himself, a black heavenly pillar smashed down.

On a closer look, it was actually a cow's hoof. The bottom was hard and black, with a faint light.

Song Shi's expression changed. This guy did not look like a soul. He looked more real, like he had a physical body.

"I didn't expect to experience the feeling of being trampled to death by a cow's hoof one day."

Curious, he stood calmly on the spot and evaluated the power of the ox hooves.

This hoof was quite powerful. It should be able to kill him with one stomp.

Seeing that Song Shi didn't escape, Zhen Nu who pulled Wang Xilian back disdainfully said, "He's already scared silly. Is that all?"

BOOM!

The ground shook, and the ox's hooves landed. A huge pit was blasted open where Song Shi was standing, and many white bones were reduced to dust.

Ox-Head crawled up from afar with a mocking expression and a cold gaze.

Zhen Nu crossed her arms and sneered. "He couldn't even withstand a casual strike from the Ghostly Emperor. What right does he have to cause trouble?"

Wang Xilian frowned. What was this Blood-Robed old ghost doing? He didn't dodge or counterattack. It was similar to when he was outside fighting with the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Could it be that this fellow only had life-saving techniques?

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor raised his hooves. In the hundred-meter deep pit, he did not see the bloody mud that Song Shi should have turned into.

He was slightly stunned. His gaze shifted and quickly gathered at another place.

Outside the huge pit, Song Shi appeared out of thin air and nodded, "It's good to be big. The power of your one hoof is astonishing."

He was very satisfied. The hoof had indeed trampled him to death, turning him into a pile of meat paste.

"Ant, you're pretty fast."

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor's hoof landed again.

Boom!

After the shock, Song Shi appeared at the side and said provocatively, "Your eyesight isn't good. Come, I'll give you another target to step on."

He split into two and smiled. One look and one could tell that he was asking for a beating with that provocation.

"Hmph!"

The Black Mountain Ghost King's eyes were filled with killing intent as he stomped on Song Shi's figure.

With his huge body, even his hooves left afterimages. It could be seen how fast he was.

Stomp stomp stomp stompโ€ฆ

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wang Xilian and the others watched in a daze.

Why was this scene so strange?

There was no fighting or killing. The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor was just stepping on the ground. They had never seen such a scene before.

"What the hell is this guy?"

Zhen Nu had never witnessed this scene before and asked, "Corpse Stitcher, where did this guy come from?"

Wang Xilian had a strange expression, "His name is Blood-Robed old ghost. Previously, he was seriously cultivating to become a demon beforehand. But ever since he resurrected this time, he hasn't been very serious about cultivation."

"It's indeed abnormal. This is the first time I've seen such a battle."

Zhen Nu was speechless.

Suddenly, the Black Mountain Ghost howled and moved its hoof away as if it had been electrocuted. It raised its hoof and took a few steps back. Looking down, a small pit appeared at the bottom of its hoof. It was smoking hot.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was injured!

This time, Song Shi did not appear at the side. He stood in the pit. Golden runes circulated all over his body, emitting a mysterious and firm power. He did not move like a mountain and looked like a small golden man.

His aura surged and he looked even stronger than before. This was a sign that his mid-grade Spirit Body had been upgraded to a high-grade Spirit Body.

At this moment, even if his body did not activate any rune power, its strength was comparable to high-grade Dharma treasures.

If he had the qualifications to clash with Numinous artifacts after activating it, what is puncturing the hoof of the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor?

There were already many ghosts watching the battle in the surroundings. When they saw the powerful Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor suffer a loss, they were all dumbfounded.

In this Spirit Land, there were not many who could hurt the Ghostly Emperor in front of him.

"Human, are you very proud?"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor put down his hooves and snorted, "If it weren't for your small body, do you think you can get to hurt me?"

"Oh, you even know the principle that the smaller the pressure point, the greater the pressure?"

Song Shi raised his eyebrows, and the aura on his body grew stronger. "In that case, I'll pierce through your body later and verify that fact."

"You do have some ability, but unfortunately, it's just some unpresentable tricks. They're useless in front of absolute strength!"

As the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor spoke, his body actually began to shrink and his strength became even more concentrated.

The corners of Song Shi's mouth twitched. It seemed that this guy was not a fool. After realizing that his body was strong, he did not arrogantly fight him with his large body.

"He can actually shrink. After condensing, his power density should have increased too!"

Song Shi narrowed his eyes and observed. When the latter's body shrunk, his aura became more stable and heavy. An obvious sense of oppression assaulted his face.

This guy had become even more dangerous than before.

Swoosh!

Song Shi's vision turned black as he was sent flying with a bang. The high-grade Diamond Spirit Body barrier that he had just condensed was clearly distorting as cracks appeared.

He was shocked. After he used his Nomological power, his body was equivalent to a humanoid Dharma treasure. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was now a special Numinous artifact.

Under such circumstances, the other party actually showed signs of breaking through his barrier. It could be seen how terrifying his destructive power was.

Under the powerful pressure, Song Shi waved his palm without hesitation and collided with the subsequent attack of the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor.

Amidst the muffled sound, Song Shi personally felt how powerful the other party's brute force was. He seemed to have turned back into a mortal and was being struck by a raging bull. He could not help but retreat.

When Zhen Nu and the others saw that the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor was actually attacking with all his might, their expressions changed continuously. They hurriedly retreated to avoid the powerful waves when the two sides collided.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Song Shi was smashed into a sorry state by the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor. He was forced to use all his strength. The nine light sources on his body burned, and his nine cores were all activated. Coupled with the Imperishable Golden Body system, he used up all his might to stabilize himself.

The more Song Shi fought, the more excited he became. The blood in his entire body boiled as he continued to fight Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor head-on.

"How is this possible? How can a person who has just entered the Golden Core realm do this? The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor is at the Nascent Soul realm, and he's not even at the Normal Nascent Soul realm."

Zhen Nu found it hard to accept.

"His close combat Ability is actually so terrifying. He can fight and also escape. Who can do anything to him?"

Wang Xilian's expression was complicated. He was already content that he did not get killed when fighting with him previously.

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor, who had attacked more than ten rounds in a row, experienced Song Shi's power in full force. He became more solemn, "Very good. Let's see how long you can last!"

He didn't believe it and growled, "Get down!"

With a heavy step, a circle of waves spread out, and he was faster than the waves. He clenched his fist and smashed over with unstoppable force.

Song Shi had no choice but to block with his arms, but he was still forced to retreat.

"He's too strong. It's very difficult to kill him in a short period of time."

Song Shi thought to himself, Should I use the Spirit Command Talisman to control him?

While he was thinking.

"Stop!"

A loud shout appeared behind them. Mountain Moving Daoist suddenly appeared, and like a falling meteor, he blasted them away with a bang.

"We're all on the same side. Stop fighting!"

He pressed down on Song Shi's shoulder and said to the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor at the same time, "Grand Senior Master, is your temper still so bad?"

Song Shi was surprised. This black bull was the Great Senior Master of the people who cultivated the mountain moving path?

"Hmph, this person is deliberately provoking us. If we don't suppress him, how do we keep up our reputation?"

Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor breathed out two streams of hot air from his nostrils. He was furious.

"The blood-robed elder's temper is a little bad, but he's not an unreasonable person. He also came over in a hurry to find his beloved maidservant, worried that she would be eaten by the Demon King Chi Huo."

Mountain Moving Daoist intentionally found an excuse for the Blood-Robed old ghost and exaggerated.

Song Shi frowned. These words sounded half-true. Could it be that the Demon King Chi Huo was really going to eat ghosts? He wondered if Bai Xiaoqin was still alive.

"For a maid?"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor was in disbelief.

"Senior Master, that's indeed the case. It's all my fault for being bribed by Chi Huo and sending his maid over."

Wang Xilian hurriedly explained. He was also afraid that he would be implicated if Song Shi caused too much trouble.

Swoosh!

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor stared at Song Shi with his bell-like eyes. "Your nickname is Blood Robes? Yet, you're a body-tempering cultivator. I don't think you're suitable at all. You might as well be called Vajra instead!"

An image of a gorilla involuntarily appeared in Song Shi's mind. He hurriedly shook his head and wiped it away. He pursed his lips. "I'm not a boor!"

"Are you saying that I'm a boor?"

The Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor's expression darkened.

"Senior Master, Blood-Robed old ghost, stop talking."

Mountain Moving Daoist snapped.

"Hmph, your strength is not bad. I'll give you face today and not argue with you!"

He waved his hand with a cold expression and turned into a black shadow to leave.

Soon, another black mountain appeared in the distance. Song Shi could not help but take another look.

"You must be very curious, right? Senior Master is cultivating a divine power. He needs to maintain this state and absorb the Earth Demonic Qi at any time. If he can transform into a thousand feet black mountain, he can go to the Netherworld Realm."

"He can turn himself into a mountain? He was originally a human?"

Song Shi was curious.

"Yes, but that was thousands of years ago. In order to cultivate this divine power, Senior Master fused with the soul of a demon bull, so he no longer sees himself as a human."

Mountain Moving Daoist nodded.

"He can actually do thatโ€ฆ Doesn't that mean the son he's talking about is really his son?"

Song Shi looked at the little Ox head in surprise.

"That's right."

Mountain Moving Daoist nodded, "In our Heavenly Ghost Sect, if no Soul Transformation cultivator leaves this world when they are alive, they can still choose to completely transform into ghosts and continue to live a second life. This is how a portion of the ghosts here came about."

At this point, he sighed. "However, this path is not easy. After all, you have broken through the limit of your lifespan. After turning into a ghost, your mind will be polluted by the evil aura of the world and you will lose your mind. It's easy for you to become an irrational evil spirit."

Song Shi could not help but think of the sealing array in the ghost pit. He was deep in thought. "So the Array Formation outside is used to seal powerful evil spirits that have lost their minds?" n0๐—๐“”๐“ต๐”ฒ๐ฌ๐‘.๐” 0๐—†

"More or less. In our Heavenly Ghost Sect, every time someone dies at the end of their lifespan, they will come here to search for a second life. Some people fail, some succeed and those who fail will basically become crazy."

"You know, the scariest people in this world are not bad people or devils, but lunatics who don't have any sense or logic. They don't recognize anyone and only have desires. They only know how to kill. If you encounter such existences, the weak ones are fine, but the strong ones are basically a death sentence"

Song Shi was shocked and agreed with this sentence.

However, so what if he really met a lunatic? Lunatics are afraid of people who aren't afraid to die.

He should be the most terrifying existence.

Mountain Moving Daoist looked at the green sun in the sky of the Spirit Land and sighed, "This thing is the Nine Nether Black Crystal that helps the soul turn into a ghost and forcefully stays in the human world. I hope I won't need it in the future. Otherwise, I'll most likely have to borrow the demon soul to maintain my rationality and eventually become a monster."

At this moment, Zhen Nu's voice sounded: "Elder Mountain Moving Daoist, Demon King Chi Huo and his maidservant are here!"

When Song Shi heard this, he turned around and saw a beautiful figure looking at him with a smile.

"Elder."

She called out crisply with a sweet expression.

On the way here, Zhen Nu had revealed that her Elder had dared to fight the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor for her. How could she not be moved?

Ever since her family died, no one had been willing to risk their lives for her. At this moment, she was willing to give her life to this man.

When Song Shi saw this woman's emotional appearance, he knew that she had misunderstood.

It was true that he had come to look for Bai Xiaoqin, but more than that, he also wanted to farm death. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he was fighting with the Ghostly Emperor for the sake of his beloved maid.

I'm really not that good of a man.

Song Shi sighed in his heart. In the Song family, he had been influenced by the men's bad habits.

Which was visiting brothels!

Therefore, he did not think that he was a man worth entrusting his life to.

Especially since he wouldn't die. He was destined to watch his wives dieโ€ฆ

Song Shi had many thoughts in his mind. In the end, they converged into a simple sentence, "Let's go home!"

From beginning to end, he did not look at the Demon King Chi Huo who looked rather nervous. He only asked, "Who bullied you here?"

"Thank you for your concern, Elder. I didn't encounter any major problems."

Bai Xiaoqin shook her head. When she came to the Spirit Land, Demon King Chi Huo treated her quite well and even guided her in her cultivation.

"There's nothing else then. Let's call it a day." Song Shi nodded at Mountain Moving Daoist.

Although he did not die enough today, he had still managed to find Bai Xiaoqin back. He would come here to seek death again in the future.

The latter heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this fellow would continue to cause trouble here.

Wang Xilian wiped his cold sweat and felt like he had just survived a calamity.

Song Shi quickly left the Spirit Land with Bai Xiaoqin and left the ghost pit.

After returning outside, Song Shi came to his cave abode and turned on the Array Formation. He turned around and looked at the ghosts that appeared in the ghost pit from time to time. Thinking of the uniqueness of the Spirit Land, he said, "You can stay there to cultivate. The environment below is better."

"I want to follow you, Young Master!"

As soon as she said this, Song Shi was slightly stunned. He looked at the female ghost. "Didn't I tell you to call me Elder?"

"Xiaoqin feels that Elder sounds a little old. Moreover, Young Master has yet to start a family. It sounds better to call him that."

"What do you know?"

Song Shi narrowed his eyes. Why did he feel that this female ghost had sensed his true situation?

"I've heard that Young Master was originally called Song Shi when he was in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range."

Bai Xiaoqin looked at Song Shi seriously, "This name has something to do with my original family. Young Master should know."

Song Shi pondered for a moment and took a deep breath, "You're really smart. How could you tell? n0๐’ฑ๐‘’๐‘™๐“Š๐ฌ๐—ฏ.๐œ0๐“œ

"Just now."

Bai Xiaoqin's eyes moved as she said faintly, "I've heard them talk about the Blood-Robed old ghost and the Ye Family's Patriarch. In the end, I confirmed that neither of them would care about the life and death of a maid like me."

Song Shi's eyes lit up, "So this detail exposed me!"

He really hadn't considered this factor, because his style of doing things was quite unique.

Although he would indeed deliberately pretend to be the Blood-Robed old ghost sometimes, he was not that guy. How could he directly change his personality and habits?

Bai Xiaoqin looked at Song Shi in a daze as tears appeared in her eyes. "You're really Young Master Song. I once saw you from afar at the banquet of the Song and Bai families. I didn't expect that the second time we met, we would be separated by life and death."

Tick, tick, tick.

Tears welled up in Bai Xiaoqin's eyes.

Song Shi sighed and used his hand to wipe those tears away. It was extremely cold.

This further proved that the other party was not alive.

He wiped away Bai Xiaoqin's tears, "We are not separated by life and death. In the cultivation world, ghosts are also a special life form."

Bai Xiaoqin's body trembled as she hugged Song Shi tightly. She cried even louder and more thoroughly.

After dying for so long, she had suppressed too many emotions in her heart. Now that she finally recognized that Song Shi was an old friend from her prior family connections, she could no longer hold it in.

Song Shi stroked Bai Xiaoqin's hair and said in a deep voice, "Since you recognized me, you should know that this is a secret I am keeping."

"Young Master, don't worry. I won't spread it."

Bai Xiaoqin promised, "I will work hard to cultivate and take revenge."

Song Shi was caught between laughter and tears, "I've already killed the culprit. Our enemies should be gone now."

"Ah."

Bai Xiaoqin was at a loss for a moment. Her motivation had always been vendetta. Now that she suddenly realized that her enemy was gone, her future was a little uncertain.

"I know that your heart is filled with vengeance because your family was destroyed, but as you can see, our enemies back then are nothing compared to the people we are surrounded by now. Change your target, such as becoming an immortal or a god."

Song Shi was afraid that when this woman lost her target, she would die on the spot.

"Yes, I understand. Young Master will be my goal."

Bai Xiaoqin smiled gently, "Young Master's encounters are extraordinary. To be able to fight against Nascent Souls and Ghostly Emperors in such a short period of time, I'm very impressed."

"Nothing. I was just lucky."

Song Shi waved his hand. He did not think that he was very powerful. He relied on cheating.

If he didn't cheat with the system, he might not even be at Bai Xiaoqin's level right now .

"Young Master is so kind."

Bai Xiaoqin looked at Song Shi happily, "I really want to accompany you for the rest of my life, Young Master.

When Song Shi saw Bai Xiaoqin in a daze, he knew that he had seduced this girl's heart.

He did not reject this admiration. He smiled and said, "Alright, as long as you don't divorce me, I naturally won't abandon you."

Bai Xiaoqin continued to hug Song Shi. "Young Master Song, actually, if the tragedy did not happen, we would have gotten married this year. Uncle Song and my father have already made a decision on this."

"There was such a thing?"

Song Shi was surprised. He said thoughtfully, "That's true. I'm indeed at the age to consider marriage. If it weren't for the old lady at home stopping me, I would have gotten married two years ago."

In this world, the age of marriage was usually eighteen years old. Those who got married earlier would get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. People of his age were considered late to be married.

"Yes, the marriage contract has already been drafted."

Bai Xiaoqin took out an exquisite piece of paper from her storage bag and handed it to Song Shi.

Song Shi saw the name on it.

Song Zhijian, Bai Xiaoqin.

Zhijian was his name, and Shi was his nickname.

As he felt that the word Zhijian sounded strange, coupled with his habits in his previous life, he usually liked to call himself Song Shi.

The two parties were his father, Song Wan, and the other party's father.

He looked at the time again. It was a week before the disaster struck.

Song Shi was silent.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would have abided by his parents' orders and married Bai Xiaoqin and become a rich man.

He saw what Song Wan had secretly done for him.

Although the Bai family was not a big family,

However, the Bai family had some power. If he married into Bai Xiaoqin's family, the rest of his life would not be too bad.

As long as he didn't mess around, it shouldn't be a problem for him to be rich for the rest of his life.

"This old fellow, we've been separated for so long. It's such a strange feeling when he suddenly shows me some fatherly love."

Song Shi's eyes moistened.

To Song Wan, this was probably what a father should do.

However, to Song Shi, it was still kinship. It made him a little forlorn.

Although Song Wan used to be very afraid of the main branch of the Song Family and had let his mother down, but he could understand Song Wan's difficulties.

In a big family like the Song family, it was impossible for them to do things as recklessly as he did now. They had too many things to consider.

Bai Xiaoqin also cried when she saw her father's name. She stroked the words with her slender hand. "Father, Mother, you will never get to see Xiaoqin get married."

Song Shi took the marriage contract, "Although this is only a draft marriage contract, I can still accept it."

"Are you willing to let me be your bride?" Bai Xiaoqin asked shyly.

She had already decided that she had to rely on Song Shi. If she did not speak out, she could only be a ghost maid forever.

"What's there to be unwilling about? I don't hate you either. Just treat it as fulfilling the wishes of the elders on both sides."

Song Shi smiled. Since the old fellow had arranged a marriage for him, it was only right for him to accept it.

"Butโ€ฆ I'm a ghost."

Bai Xiaoqin's expression darkened. Humans and ghosts had different cultivation paths, but in the end, nothing good would come out of the union.

"So what? We're all cultivators. I don't care if you're human, ghost, demon, immortal, or Buddha. The important thing is that you are willing to cultivate seriously."

He is a more open-minded person. After all, he had died so many times. What was there not to be open-minded about?

"Thank you."

Bai Xiaoqin was really touched this time. A living person would avoid her existence, let alone marry her.

"We're already on the same side. There's no need to thank me."

Song Shi shook his head, "You're only paid special attention to me because of the engagement, right?"

"Yes, you know that we women always stand by our man. Before we get married, we'll secretly understand our partner first." n0๐“‹๐“”๐‘™๐‘ˆ๐“ˆ๐‘.๐“’0๐“‚

Bai Xiaoqin nodded shyly. "When I heard that you're related to the Yao Moon Palace, a large cultivation sect. I originally thought that we wouldn't interact again. I didn't expect you to actually be pretending and even having a relationship with the Blood-Robed old ghost. When you came to save me, I deduced that you weren't the Blood-Robed old ghost."

"You're smart."

Song Shi praised her. To be able to deduce so much from such small clues, even if Bai Xiaoqin did not meet him, she should be able to go far on the path of cultivation.

"I can't compare to Young Master."

Bai Xiaoqin said humbly.

"I think there's no time like the present. Let's get married today. You won't mind if no one celebrates?"

Song Shi grabbed Bai Xiaoqin's hand with a wicked smile.

The latter said bashfully, "My family members have all been destroyed, and most of Young Master's family members have died. We just have to remember this ceremony ourselves."

"Understood!"

Song Shi carried Bai Xiaoqin and walked into the cave abode. He chuckled, "It's been a long time since I've touched a woman."

When Bai Xiaoqin heard this, she recalled that Song Shi often visited brothels. But she did not care much about it.

In this world, there were too many sons of big families who did such things. Even her father often went there.

As long as Song Shi did not let her down, she would turn a blind eye to this matter.

Of course, she still had to have an attitude. "Young Master, you have to dote on me more in the future. However, I'm a female ghost. I don't know if I'll hurt you."

"Hehe, it's just some Yang energy. There was a period of time when I was fine being sucked dry by another woman every day."

Song Shi chuckled.

Bai Xiaoqin said sourly, "That woman from the brothel called Liu Ruxue?"

"Are you jealous?"

"No, I'm just envious that she met you first, Young Master."

"I think you're jealous."

Song Shi smiled teasingly, "She's the first woman I've fallen in love with. You're the first female ghost I've slept with."

"Bad guy!"

Bai Xiaoqin punched Song Shi, embarrassed and angry.

"I could be worse."

Song Shi subconsciously took off his clothes and realized that Bai Xiaoqin was in a special state.

She had no physical clothes at all.

The latter understood his intentions. She lowered her head and took off her clothes herself.

Song Shi hugged Bai Xiaoqin's cold body and kissed her, "Others don't dare to come into contact with you ghosts. But since my Yang is so overtly domineering, I'm not afraid."

With that, he focused on his 'work'.

Song Shi experienced a unique feeling. After it ended, he looked at the blushing Bai Xiaoqin and returned to talking about business. "You were taken in as a disciple by that old bastard?"

"Yes, Elder Wang did take me in as a disciple. Unfortunately, he has ulterior motives and wanted to nurture me to become stronger before selling me." Bai Xiaoqin was a little angry.

"Then you should have an identity token, right? Take it out and I'll transfer some contribution points to you."

Song Shi activated Bai Xiaoqin's token and transferred one hundred thousand contribution points to her.

"Young Master, this is too much. It's very difficult for even inner sect disciples to have so many contribution points."

Bai Xiaoqin was shocked.

"I have a pile of contribution points that I can't use up anyways. Help me use some. If you want to exchange for anything, exchange it for yourself."

Song Shi chuckled, "Also, I'll get Lu Jiu to arrange a better teacher for you. You won't be cultivating that old bastard anymore."

"Young Master, you're too good to me."

Bai Xiaoqin said happily.

"Since I have these resources, it would be a waste not to use them."

Song Shi shrugged and closed the cave abode, "Choose a room to cultivate in."

"Yeah, sure."

Bai Xiaoqin smiled and walked into a room, feeling exceptionally happy.

From today onwards, she had a home and was no longer a lonely ghost.

Song Shi came to the center of the cave abode and stabbed the golden spear into the ground, preparing to begin refining the Numinous artifacts.

"Blood-robed Elder."

Lu Jiu's voice came from outside. Song Shi frowned and walked out. When he saw Lu Youyou following behind, he said, "Sect Master, what's the matter? I'm preparing to enter seclusion to refine the Golden Dragon Spear."

"You don't want what you initially had?"

Lu Jiu took out a blood-colored belt and storage ring and threw them to Song Shi. "I've asked for most of the things back for you. The spirit tea is rather special. It's planted on the spirit soil and some tender tea has already grown. It's a little wasteful to dig it out now. I'll get Youyou to continue taking care of it. I'll give it to you when the tea leaves mature in a few years. How about that?"

"Oh, Miss Youyou has become a tea picker?" Song Shi teased.

"You said my mouth is foul but I don't think you're any better."

Lu Youyou snorted.

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore then."

Song Shi decisively stopped. Otherwise, he would have to argue with this woman again.

"I'll accept it. I'll also accept the Sect Master's high regard."

Song Shi nodded at Lu Jiu. This person had asked for most of his things back so quickly. He agreed with his intentions.

"We have no choice but to hurry up. In just a short while, the blood-robed elder actually went to the Spirit Land to cause trouble again."

Lu Jiu commented helplessly.

"It was just that there was a reason for this. Sect Master, don't worry. Usually, if there's nothing, I won't act rashly."

Song Shi grinned. No one knew if he was telling the truth.

"Since Elder Blood Robes isn't afraid of trouble, we have a matter that we need your help with."

Lu Jiu bluntly stated his request.

"I knew it wouldn't be so easy to get my stuff back. Tell me, what is it and what time?"

Song Shi agreed helplessly. He raised his hand and pointed at the blood-colored belt. After checking it and confirming that there was no problem, the latter turned into a blood-colored light and tied itself around his waist.

"To participate in a conference and represent our Heavenly Ghost Sect. It will be held in half a year's time."

Lu Jiu explained the situation.

After listening to Lu Jiu's request, Song Shi seized the time to do his own thing.

Fifteen minutes later, in the cave abode.

He looked at the golden Spear in front of him with a serious expression on his young face.

"Let's start refining!"

He formed a seal with both hands and golden light flickered. Dharmic powers turned into runes and struck the Spear.

A buzzing sound appeared. The dragon scale-like patterns on the latter's surface emitted a dazzling light. Its aura was dignified and domineering, like a true dragon lying dormant.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Song Shi became lost in thoughts. The Nomological power in his hand began to flow into the array patterns on the spear, dispelling the residual power inside.

This power was left behind by Ye Wenzhong. Under his transfer of power, this ownerless power was expelled and dissipated unwillingly.

However, Spear was still very resistant to him.

"The so-called spirituality is very mysterious. I haven't even managed to communicate with it up till now, are you purposely ignoring me?"

Song Shi muttered. Dharma treasures that had spirits and were called Numinous artifacts.

Only by communicating with the spirituality of this Spear could he control it more easily.

He took out an ancient book to search for a guide.

This was the secret manual for refining Dharma treasures that he had just exchanged from the Scripture Depository of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

After flipping through it for a moment, he recited a strange incantation that sounded like the low cry of an evil spirit. Then, his mana transformed into a ghost head that opened its mouth and swallowed the golden spear.

The buzzing of the Spear gradually dissipated. His Dharmic powers began to invade the Spear's entire body through special methods, forcefully refining it.

According to his understanding, the array formation in the Numinous artifacts was probably equivalent to a system. The so-called spirituality was probably that the system had a certain level of intelligence.

The ghost head he had created now was to use a special method to crack this system and control this intelligent authority.

As long as he controlled the authority, this weapon would naturally listen to him and follow his orders.

"The cultivation civilization of this world is far above the technological civilization!"

This was the first time he had come into contact with Numinous artifacts. This encounter could also be considered as further exposure to the secrets of this world's cultivation civilization.

As he began to crack the array formation patterns inside the Dharma treasures, his Dharmic powers quickly controlled a portion of the authority. His original resistance gradually weakened.

When his Dharmic powers entered the array formation core inside the Spear and began to circulate, the Spear responded with the fluctuations of the Nomological power in its body.

A huge devouring power surged over. The golden spear absorbed his Dharmic powers as a reserve energy source and the patterns became brighter and brighter.

Song Shi revealed a look of delight. This thing had absorbed his Dharmic powers, which meant that it had already accepted his control.

The process of absorbing Nomological power lasted for more than half a day. When the Nomological power in his body was completely absorbed, Song Shi had the illusion that this thing seemed to have become a part of his body.

With a thought, swoosh!

Golden light flashed, and the Spear flew up and circled around him.

After raising his hand, the Spear flew to his palm. A powerful Illuminate was released, creating a hole in the ground.

His Dharmic powers were also golden and complemented the Spear, making it even brighter.

"How Handsome!"

Song Shi happily waved it a few times. The flames danced, leaving a few scorching afterimages in the air.

The phantom of a dragon head appeared at the tip of the spear. It spewed out golden flames. With the augmentation of Dharma treasures, the Pure Yang Fire became even more domineering and scorching. It burned the air until it distorted violently.

The power of this power had definitely surpassed the flames condensed from his own Nomological power.

Combined with the attack of the spear itself, the power of a single spear strike was extremely terrifying.

"Nice Spear!"

He sized up the Spear lovingly. He felt that this Spear was simply tailor-made for him. Its nature was especially compatible with his cultivation techniques, and it looked very domineering.

Holding this Spear, he could not help but feel heroic. With the Spear in his hand, he had the aura of holding back ten thousand men.

However, it only lasted for a moment. Song Shi's expression changed and his breathing became rapid.

A wave of weakness came from his body. All the Dharmic powers in his body had been sucked dry by this fellow. Other than his strength, he did not have any Dharmic powers at all.

"The energy consumption is really high!"

Song Shi came back to his senses and sighed.

In the end, his cultivation was still in the Golden Core realm. Dharma treasures of that level were usually only usable by Nascent Souls and Martial Emperors.

Even if his cultivation was deeper than those of the same level, he was still much weaker than a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"I have to condense the nine Golden Cores as soon as possible and increase the total amount of Nomological power. Otherwise, I won't be able to withstand the consumption of this thing."

Song Shi smiled bitterly. The Golden Dragon Spear was domineering and powerful, but it consumed a lot of Nomological power. n0๐’ฑ๐‘’๐‘™๐“Š๐ฌ๐—ฏ.๐œ0๐“œ

With his current cultivation, he would not be able to withstand it for long.

He flung his Spear and the latter shrunk rapidly. It shot into his Dantian and entered his Dantian space.

In this space, a golden bead was spinning. Due to the law of exhaustion, the light was dimming.

After the Spear arrived, it floated above his Golden Core unceremoniously and received the nourishment of Spirit Nomological power.

He could continue improving this item. If it gave birth to an artifact spirit in the future, it would be comparable to the stronger Numinous treasures.

Of course, this would take a long time to do so. It might not be as reliable as finding a Numinous treasure by itself.

After refining the Golden Dragon Spear, Song Shi flipped his hand and took out a black and white energy snake.

He had engraved sealing runes on the surface of the black side, but it was still difficult to hide its mysterious aura.

It contained pure energy. This energy came from the Essence, Qi, and spirit of a Golden Core cultivator. Although it was not all, it was the purest part.

"This thing isn't simple. If those guys from the Holy Gu Sect use this Gu to kill people and cultivate, the speed of improvement won't be bad."

Song Shi thought of some possibilities, dispersed the seal, and squeezed hard.

The black and white Gu transformed into a ray of light, like a Taoist Painting. Then, it condensed into a pillar of light that landed between his eyebrows and was quickly devoured and refined.

Song Shi's body trembled as he felt a pure power surge over.

This power was not directly absorbed by him. Instead, it was transformed by the Life and Death Gu in his body before being transmitted to him, making it extremely easy to refine.

"Good lord, this is even better than the medicinal elixirs!"

Song Shi was shocked. This was the first time he had absorbed and refined the power of the Life and Death Gu, and he had completely experienced all the benefits.

But at this moment, he also clearly sensed that the Life and Death Gu in its body was also growing.

"F*ck, this thing can also grow. In the future, it can devour other people's power. Can it also devour me?"

Song Shi was suspicious. He did not think that this thing was really here to help them improve only.

After all, this was a Gu worm. Others were also raising the same Gu worms.

When the people who planted these Gu wanted to harvest it, they could completely control the Gu worms to devour his essence, energy, and spirit.

"Go ahead. I'm really not afraid of you swallowing me. If you dare to swallow me, I'll kill you!"

Song Shi sneered in his heart and began to absorb and refine it in peace.

Now that the Dharmic powers consumed were quickly restored, his cultivation continued to increase.

Due to the abundant power contained in the Life and Death Gu, he obtained Nascent Soul cultivation experience after Ye Wenzhong failed to possess him.

Therefore, he did not have any bottlenecks to conquer from now to the Nascent Soul realm.

With a thought, a light flashed in his middle Dantian and the second golden core began to condense.

If the first Golden Core was a breakthrough in the realm and a qualitative change, then the second Golden Core was more of a quantitative change.

As long as he had enough resources, he could quickly condense other Golden Cores.

He had the Life and Death Gu of five Golden Core cultivators. After absorbing and refining them, they helped him condense two more Golden Cores.

This process only took him half a month. There was still a lot of time before the mission Lu Jiu gave him.

This time, Song Shi did not go out to cause trouble. He planned to use the contribution points of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to exchange for various spirit pills and medicines and begin his seclusion cultivation.

After leaving his cave abode, his first stop was the Heavenly Ghost Sect's Elixir Pavilion.

Seeing him, the expressions of everyone here changed drastically.

"Why is this guy here?!"

"The sect gave him more than a million contribution points. Once he comes, many of the medicinal pills here will be exchanged."

"Hurry up, or we might not be able to exchange for it later!"

The group of people discussed for a while and immediately seized the time to exchange for medicinal pills.

"Looks like I've become a famous person in the sect."

Song Shi chuckled and walked to the exchange window. He slammed the token on the table. "Exchange for everything I can exchange for now!"

Hearing Song Shi's words, everyone, who was already prepared, still had dark expressions.

Under normal circumstances, the resources that the sect could exchange for were provided according to everyone's general needs. It would not be too much or too little.

However, at some critical moments, such as when people with a large number of contribution points exchanged items for them at the same time, it would cause a drain of resources. n0๐“‹๐“”๐‘™๐‘ˆ๐“ˆ๐‘.๐“’0๐“‚

If there were too many people exchanging for resources, it would naturally be completely insufficient when others wanted to exchange for it.

This person had more than a million contribution points and was richer than any of the Supreme Elders. Once he starts to exchange crazily, they would probably face a situation where the supply could not meet the demand within ten years.

The face of the elder in charge of exchanging items twitched. "Blood-robed Elder, are you really exchanging everything? Some of the items are of lower grades and are useless to you."

"I like it. Can't I?"

Song Shi pursed his lips. "Cut the crap. Hurry up and exchange it for me!"

"Uh, alright. The upper limit that an individual can exchange for is 10% of the inventory. I'll exchange for you according to this ratio?"

The deacon elder asked.

"Change!"

Song Shi nodded.

An elder at the side couldn't stand it anymore and said unhappily, "Blood-robed Elder, don't you know what 10% of the inventory means? Our entire sect has more than ten thousand official disciples. Usually, there are at least three thousand people who come to exchange for resources on the regular. You're equivalent to directly occupying three hundred people's resource exchange slots. Moreover, this will affect all the outer sect, inner sect, core disciples and elders."

"What does it have to do with me? If you have so many contribution points, won't you exchange them like this too?"

Song Shi shrugged. He was not afraid of offending these guys.

In his opinion, these contribution points were just a bunch of numbers. At the very least, he had to obtain the items first first before they were of use to him.

Otherwise, what was the use of just a bunch of numbers?

If anything happened, he might have nothing left.

"You! Why don't you think of others at all?"

"That's right. Everyone's cultivation resources are already not abundant to begin with. Once you're done exchanging, we'll have to wait!"

"You're a Supreme Elder, so you should have the morals of a Supreme Elder."

Some people couldn't help but criticize. If they were just one or two people, they definitely wouldn't dare to speak like this. But now, there was a group of people with the same thoughts hence nobody was afraid to speak their mind.

"Did I ask you to teach me how to do things?"

Song Shi snorted coldly. A powerful aura erupted, immediately making some people shut their mouths.

However, some people were not frightened. They were either Core disciples or Core elders, and their cultivation levels were not much worse than his.

"Blood-robed Elder, are you trying to overwhelm us with your strength?"

Shi Tianya walked out of the door and questioned loudly, "To everyone present, you're just a newcomer. How can you be so arrogant the moment you arrive?"

A perfected Golden Core cultivator said earnestly, "Blood-robed elder, don't go overboard. You have to leave yourself a way out."

"If you have any objections, we can go out and talk about it!"

Song Shi glanced at the deacon who received him. "Don't just stand there. When I come back after talking to them, I hope that the things I want are ready!"

"Yes, Blood-robed Elder."

The deacon was sweating profusely as he replied. He was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, so how could he withstand Song Shi's powerful Aura? Naturally, he did not dare to offend him.

Song Shi sneered. "Come, come out if you want to teach me a lesson."

Many people's faces darkened.

What was wrong with him? They were just arguing. Who said that they were really going to fight?

They thought, " We were just complaining. Did you actually take it seriously?"

"This person is really rash. He actually really wanted to fight."

"I think he's just unwilling to accept everyone's opinion."

"Who would like such a person?"

Song Shi frowned when he heard that, "Don't f*cking hide in the dark while saying that. If you want to attack, come at me directly!"

Furious, Shi Tianya said to the figure beside him, "Senior Brother Luo, are you just going to watch him act arrogantly here?"

Beside Shi Tianya, a perfected Golden Core cultivator stepped out. He was thin and had dark skin, making him look like a monkey.

There was a flash of blood-red light in his eyes, and his aura was like a rainbow. "Blood-robed Elder, you've just become a Grand Supreme Elder. As your disciple, I really want to experience your power. Let's see what else a Grand Supreme Elder like you can do besides being good at escaping."

"Then I shall let you experience it!"

Song Shi chuckled and glanced at this person. He did not know who he was, but he was not surprised. After all, he had just arrived and there were many people he had not seen before.

He said, "Who are you? Tell me your name."

"Core disciple, Luo Chi!"

The latter replied coldly, "I happen to be exchanging for an especially important pill. If you know what's good for you, don't exchange."

"Then you'll have to beat me first!"

Song Shi took another look at this person.

He was clearly only at the Golden Core realm, but he actually gave him some pressure. It seemed that this person was indeed not simple.

He took a step forward, leaving behind an afterimage. He had already arrived outside.

Luo Chi followed closely behind.

"Senior Brother Luo has made his move. I wonder if he can teach this person a lesson."

"I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to teach him a lesson. I heard that this person fought with the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor in the Netherworld."

"Have you forgotten that Senior Brother Luo once killed a Nascent Soul cultivator? His combat strength is very powerful."

The group of people followed excitedly.

One was akin to a dragon while the other was a fierce snake.

It would soon be clear who was stronger.

If Luo Chi could win, this person probably wouldn't dare to be too arrogant in the future.

If he lost, they would suffer in the future.

Song Shi came outside and saw that Luo Chi's eyes were red and his aura was strange. There was a faint sense of oppression.

He looked thoughtful.

This fellow should also have a special bloodline.

Report chapter Comments

"New Grand Supreme elder, I won't bully you. Let me tell you. I have the Seven Strike Divine Body. You will definitely bleed when I attack. Be mentally prepared. Don't say that I'm too heavy-handed."

The killing intent in Luo Chi's body surged like a tide, and the color of the world seemed to have changed for a moment.

Quite a few people's faces were filled with fear, as they backed up, unable to endure this type of terrifying killing intent.

Song Shi took another look.

He had heard of this Physique before. It was a natural body meant for killing. It was similar to a Sword Dao Physique like the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit, and its attack power was very powerful.

Clang!

Amidst the ear-piercing sword hum, a long red sword appeared in Luo Chi's hand, as if it was forged from blood.

His eyes were blood-red, and his entire body was filled with killing intent mixed with sharp sword qi. It formed a special Aura as he charged towards Song Shi.

The tsunami-like aura caused the air to buzz, but when it hit Song Shi, it was like hitting a reef. After shattering, it diverged to both sides, cutting and shattering the trees behind it.

After the Aura attack passed, sword marks appeared on the protective golden light that Song Shi released.

He observed Luo Chi in surprise. This was the first time a portion of the barrier released by his high-grade Spirit Body had been broken by someone's Aura.

This person's combat strength was indeed powerful. Before he even attacked, he already felt pressured.

At this moment, the latter vaguely transformed into a blood-colored human-shaped sword with full offensive power.

"Hehe, the blood-robed elder's skin looks quite thick. It'll definitely feel good when I break it later!"

Swoosh!

He drew his sword.

Blood light filled the sky and everyone's vision blurred.

A blood-colored meteor streaked across the sky and suddenly shot out. The extreme sharpness stabbed towards Song Shi's glabella.

Clang!

The blood light sped up and flew out, smashing into a rock and finally collapsing the wall opposite.

Luo Chi, who had fallen into it, spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the sword in his hand in confusion.

His intrinsic Dharma treasure actually was scarred.

Song Shi held a golden Spear in his hand and a powerful force spread out. Within a radius of a thousand feet, heat waves surged and the air distorted.

When Luo Chi saw this, he spat out another mouthful of blood and said angrily, "How can you use Numinous artifacts!"

Song Shi had obtained Ye Wenzhong's Golden Dragon Spear. This was something that all the Elite core members of the Heavenly Ghost Sect knew.

However, he did not expect Song Shi to use Numinous artifacts to clash with him.

Wasn't this equivalent to unleashing a big move as soon as he arrived? n0๐’ฑ๐žฎ๐“ต๐‘ข๐“ˆ๐.๐‘0๐“‚

'Is that how you play?'

The moment he arrived, he used his ultimate move. However, the difference in their cultivation levels was not too big. How could he win?

"Is there a problem?"

Song Shi found it strange. He brandished his Spear and left a deep mark on the ground. Even the floor had melted.

He sized it up lovingly and nodded in satisfaction. "I happened to feel like testing the power of my Numinous artifacts. It looks like they're indeed not bad."

In Ye Wenzhong's hands, this Spear only had a sharp edge, but he had enhanced it with his Yang flames, increasing its destructive power greatly.

"You're actually testing the power of the Numinous artifact now?"

Luo Chi was so angry that his liver hurt. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He wanted to attack again, but he realized that his injuries were very serious.

If he attacked again, his combat strength would be greatly reduced.

However, the other party's Spear burned with energy that made him tremble in fear. Even if it could not last for long, it was still a huge threat to him.

"I'm not fighting anymore. Who would use Numinous artifacts to bully others?"

He suddenly changed his words and turned to leave while cursing.

Numinous artifacts were far stronger than ordinary Dharma treasures, and this fellow's body and Nomological power were also very powerful.

As someone who had experienced hundreds of battles, how could he not see that his chances of winning were very low if he continued to fight? He might as well use this legitimate reason to end it directly. Then the other party would not say anything about him.

"This guy really knows how to adapt to the situation."

Song Shi narrowed his eyes. The Second Master Lu he killed was nothing compared to this person.

"What a pity. If you fight now, you still have the highest chance of winning. In the futureโ€ฆ"

He shook his head inwardly. Not to mention a year, even if he did not use Numinous artifacts in half a year's time, he was confident that he could defeat this fellow.

"This elder is really bullying people."

"That's right. He injured Senior Brother Luo with his Numinous artifacts the moment he arrived. He was afraid that he would lose if he fought normally."

"If not for the Numinous artifacts, I think he would be doomed."

Some people felt indignant for Luo Chi and despised Song Shi even more for deliberately bullying others.

"Damn it, what's going on? He was not even a human when he fought with me!"

Song Shi's expression was ugly as he complained. He could not be bothered with these guys and turned around to return to the Elixir Chamber.

He raised his Spear impatiently and questioned, "Are you ready?"

The golden flames caused the temperature in the attic to rise rapidly. The latter sweated profusely and retreated to the edge of the counter. He said fearfully, "Right away. I'm packaging your items now."

"Hurry up."

Song Shi kept his Spear and glanced at the person at the door, "If you lack resources in the future, you can come to me to buy them."

The Medicine Pavilion's deacons staggered and were almost struck by the lightning that followed Song Shi.

Their expressions were strange and they could not calm down. They looked at Song Shi speechlessly.

Are you kidding me? Is that why you deliberately exchanged for so many things? Are you trying to snatch our business?

Song Shi enjoyed the gazes of these people who wanted to beat him up but did not dare to do so. He crossed his arms and said, "I can still borrow contribution points to anyone here as long as they return them on time."

Quite a few people rolled their eyes. How was there such a shameless person?

Song Shi's expression did not change even after angering everyone. He waited for the warden to prepare his items, picked them up and left.

Then, he went to the other resources department to exchange for a large number of talismans, Dharma treasures, cultivation techniques and secret techniques.

He definitely could not use so many of them himself. He was purely exchanging contribution points for physical items.

With Luo Chi's lesson, no one dared to stop him openly. At most, they would use their mouths to criticize him in private.

After exchanging all the items he could exchange for this month, Song Shi returned to his cave abode and threw a pile of storage bags and rings to Bai Xiaoqin.

"My fair lady, keep these. After sorting them out, make a list and post a notice at the entrance of the cave abode. 'We welcome the elders and disciples to exchange for them'."

Song Shi chuckled.

"Young Master, are you opening a trading company?" Bai Xiaoqin looked at the storage bags on the ground in a daze.

"That's about right. Also, add another sentence. I can give you contribution points on credit. You'll be charged 5% for monthly interest."

Song Shi nodded. He would definitely have to spend some effort to deal with the mid- to low-end resources he had obtained. Otherwise, it would indeed be a waste to keep them on him.

Contribution points could also be used to expand his resource pool. For example, it could be used to generate more contribution points so that it would not depreciate.

"Can Iโ€ฆ do it?"

Bai Xiaoqin was nervous.

"Sure."

Song Shi grabbed Bai Xiaoqin's hand. "Deal with these when you're resting. Cultivate first. If there are any problems, I'll deal with them."

"I'll try my best."

Bai Xiaoqin smiled. Since Song Shi trusted her so much, she should not be afraid.

"Go. The disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect are all very enthusiastic."

Song Shi patted Bai Xiaoqin's shoulder and went to cultivate with the resources he could use.

There were too many types of resources and there were also many raw materials, such as various ores, metals, and medicinal herbs.

While Song Shi was cultivating, he began to fiddle with these raw materials.

He had obtained the Treasure Refining Manual and there were many manuals on weapon refinement in the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Report chapter Comments

With his powerful Comprehension, he learned these things very quickly. After casually fiddling with them for a while, he successfully refined the lowest-level Dharma artifacts.

Not only for refining weapons, he would also read the methods in the other ancient books when he was free.

Otherwise, these exchanged ancient books would be of no use to him.

For five consecutive months, other than exchanging resources, Song Shi was learning all kinds of unorthodox skills and mastering many Skills.

As for refining artifacts, with the Treasure Refining Manual, he could advance to the level of a grandmaster in one go and easily refine Dharma treasures from Dharma artifacts.

He had also grasped the other talisman-making and pill-refining methods quite well. Coupled with his already very powerful Array Formation knowledge, he was basically an all-rounded cultivator now.

Originally, there were three Golden Cores, but after bitter cultivation, he now had six. His Nomological power was more than six times that of the same level, and his pure realm had also reached the intermediate stage of the Golden Core realm.

In addition, he raised some of the spells and secret techniques he cultivated to perfection.

Other than the Thousand Transformations Technique, the One Qi Cloning Technique and the Connate Pure Yang Technique had been perfected.

The perfected Thousand Transformations Technique allowed him to disguise his aura, while the clone technique condensed from the perfected clone technique could be maintained for a long time. He could even move freely within the range of his Spiritual strength.

Perfection of the Connate Pure Yang Art was a natural process. Cultivating this cultivation technique to the Golden Core realm was the limit. Coupled with his Nascent Soul experience from Ye Wenzhong, it was difficult not to perfect this technique.

Currently, among the cultivation techniques and divine powers he controlled, other than the Imperishable Golden Body, the Nine Yang Divine Technique, and the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique, which were of a higher level and could not be perfected in a short period of time, only the Yin-Yang secret technique and the Grand Moon Visualization Method were almost perfected.

The former was because he lacked sufficient cultivation conditions. After all, Bai Xiaoqin was a ghost and was not suitable to cultivate this secret technique with him.

As for the Grand Moon Visualization Method, his Spiritual strength was still a little lacking before it reached perfection. He had not used the sealing technique he had drawn last time and had not cultivated it at all.

Although the cultivation techniques and secret arts were not all perfected, the system still gave him three lucky draw chances. Coupled with the reward of killing Ye Wenzhong and the others and the spider emperor, Song Shi had finally gathered ten lucky draw chances.

However, he could not draw ten times in a row.

There were only eight items left in the wheel.

"I almost achieved my wish of ten consecutive draws. I can only accumulate eight more lucky draw chances after the refresh." n0๐‘ฃ๐‘ฌ๐“ต๐šž๐—Œ๐”Ÿ.๐‘0๐š–

He was about to go out on a mission. Song Shi thought of the context of this mission and decided to clear the wheel.

Not to mention the lucky draw, he had been in seclusion for nearly half a year because he wanted to increase his strength before this mission.

"The Pure Yang Scripture is probably not an advanced cultivation method of the Connate Pure Yang Technique. It just so happens to be connected to the lack of an immortal cultivation method."

Song Shi glanced at the Pure Yang Scripture on the wheel and began to draw.

This time, he didn't finish it all in one go but did it consecutively. This way, he could feel good eight times.

Ancient battle puppet: Special puppet, top-grade Dharma treasures. Combat strength comparable to a Martial Emperor.

Song Shi's eyes lit up when he saw this. This thing could be considered a powerful fighter. Furthermore, puppets were very convenient to use.

He continued to draw.

"Dingโ€ฆ congratulations on drawing the Turtle Breathe Technique!"

Turtle Breathe Technique: A special secret technique that allows one to conceal their aura and remain as quiet as a tortoise.

When Song Shi saw the introduction, he fell into deep thought. "This mystic technique is a little similar to Daoist Cai's method of pretending to be dead."

"Dingโ€ฆ Congratulations on obtaining the Teleportation Talisman!"

Teleportation Talisman: Special Spirit Talisman. It can randomly teleport users to a hundred miles away.

Song Shi pursed his lips. This thing was useless to him.

His Ragnarok could break free from Crowd Control and he could seize the opportunity to die once that happens. Then, he could go home on the spot and not worry about being trapped.

"Again!"

Song Shi felt that the few items were more useful and was looking forward to the remaining ones.

"Dingโ€ฆ congratulations on drawing the Pure Yang Scripture!"

Pure Yang Scripture: Yang Stats Immortal Cultivation Technique. Can be cultivated to the True Immortal Realm. Its power is explosive and powerful.

He hurriedly checked and discovered that the Connate Pure Yang Art was really the prerequisite part of this immortal cultivation technique. He could hence quickly enter the Beginner realm because of this foundation.

After absorbing it, the Golden Core in Song Shi's Dantian shone brightly and began to grow further.

However, the focus of this cultivation technique was still Nomological power. Its attack method was a long-range attack. It required a batch of Pure Yang Flying Swords to unleash the power of this cultivation technique.

"Fortunately, I refined three Pure Yang Flying Swords when I was practicing refining artifacts. I can use them."

Song Shi formed a hand seal and a sword chime suddenly sounded from his storage bag. Sword beams shot out and stabbed into his side, quickly forming a sword formation.

Song Shi sat cross-legged like a Sword Dao ancestor and gave off a different vibe.

"My close combat Nine Yang Divine Power with the golden Spear and the long-range Pure Yang Scripture with the flying sword are getting stronger and stronger!"

Muttering, he continued to draw the lottery.

Dingโ€ฆ congratulations on drawing one hundred Five Elements Upper Spiritual Stones each.

This was relatively ordinary, but it was considered cash currency and was hence passable in his eyes.

"Dingโ€ฆ congratulations on obtaining the Heaven and Earth Pouch!"

Song Shi hurriedly checked.

Heaven and Earth Pouch: Special Numinous artifacts. There is a universe inside. It can trap enemies and capture them. It can capture enemy Dharma treasures and store items. The internal space is the size of a small mountain.

Song Shi took it out and a yellow cloth bag appeared in his hand.

This cloth bag was densely covered in runes that flickered with a faint luster. The surrounding space was slightly distorted, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.

With a probe of his divine consciousness, a huge space more than ten thousand feet in length, width, and height appeared. It could really hold a mountain.

"The space is so big. Is this the size of a small mountain?"

Song Shi was speechless. To him, it was not a problem for even a mountain to be placed in this space.

Dingโ€ฆ congratulations on drawing the Yin Yang Harmony Technique!

Upon seeing this name, Song Shi thought of the Yin-Yang secret technique.

After absorbing the content, it was indeed a similar secret technique. However, it was much more advanced and did not necessarily require the help of a woman. He could also cultivate it by absorbing the Yin and Yang Qi himself, but the speed was relatively slow.

Dingโ€ฆ congratulations on obtaining the Heavenly Talisman Technique!

After the last lottery draw, Song Shi's eyes widened.

"The method of refining talismans?"

Song Shi was stunned and hurriedly checked.

Heaven Ascension Talisman Technique: Draw talismans with Qi and divine powers. This technique can draw talismans without the help of a medium like a talisman paper, but it requires more Spirit and Nomological power, and it can't be maintained for a long time.

Song Shi closed his eyes and absorbed it. Then, he raised his hand.

Space fluctuated. Wisps of colorful light gathered on his finger and turned red in a flash.

His fingers drew in the air like a talisman pen. Red lines appeared on his fingertips and finally condensed into a Fire Talisman.

The moment the talisman was formed, it lit up brightly. The surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered crazily and erupted with a destructive power, turning into a fire python that seemed to be roaring softly.

Song Shi opened his eyes. His pupils reflected the flames in his hands. He took a deep breath, "I can really draw talismans out of thin air, just like a spell. Is this the ultimate method of the Dao of Talismans?"

As he praised, the fire python in his hand twisted violently and exploded with a bang.

Song Shi's expression changed. With a clap of his hand, the Heaven and Earth Pouch hanging on his waist opened and released a huge suction force. It sucked in the violent flames and swallowed them.

The surroundings were already shaking violently. In the next second, the buildings that were about to be destroyed stabilized again. If not for the surging heat waves in the air, it would be difficult to imagine that a Fire Python Talisman was about to explode in this narrow space.

"Goodness, I feel invincible!"

Song Shi laughed out loud. With this talisman technique, wouldn't he be able to obtain all kinds of one-time use talismans at will after he studied it thoroughly?

"My Spirit seems a little low."

Looking at his combat rating, Song Shi knew that his Spirit was holding him back. Otherwise, it would not be a problem for him to reach a six-star rating.

"Young Master, Miss You You is looking for you."

Just as Song Shi was about to study the Yin Yang Harmony Technique, Bai Xiaoqin's voice came from outside.

"Why is this woman looking for me?"

Song Shi gathered his thoughts, stood up, and walked out.

The Immortal's Cave he was in was a quiet manor. Bai Xiaoqin was waiting outside with a smile on her face. She looked elegant and charming. At this moment, she looked no different from an ordinary person.

During this period of time, Song Shi had brought Bai Xiaoqin along to cultivate when he had nothing to do. With his Golden Core cultivation, he had already pulled her to the Foundation Establishment realm. At the same time, she had helped him deal with the mid- and low-end resources. She already had the nickname of Shopkeeper Bai!

Due to her frequent interactions with others, Bai Xiaoqin, who was originally shy, became more natural and unrestrained. She no longer had the frown she had when she was a lonely ghost.

When she saw Song Shi, Bai Xiaoqin floated over and intimately tidied up Song Shi's clothes. She was a virtuous wife.

During this period of time, Bai Xiaoqin did things quietly and was very compatible with him.

Lu Youyou, who was wearing a short purple dress, was waiting outside with Bai Xiaoqin.

Her delicate feet were bare as she floated in midair. Her black hair was bound by a red ribbon that swayed in the wind. Her graceful body, which was neither tall nor short, leaned lazily against the stone tablet at the door. Her eyes were bright and lively, and her eyebrows were long and black, carrying a hint of arrogance.

Her cultivation had already reached the perfected Foundation Establishment realm and she was only a step away from the Golden Core realm.

When she saw Song Shi, her beautiful red lips pouted. "Father asked me to go to the meeting with you."

"Won't I have another burden if you follow?"

Song Shi pursed his lips.

"You're the burden. I can kill a Golden Core Martial King now!"

Lu Youyou raised her eyebrows. "It's not up to you to decide whether I get to go or not. I'm just here to inform you!"

"Alright, alright. If you're not afraid of death, follow me."

Song Shi did not argue. This meeting was rather special. It was held by the officials of Great Qian. He did not understand why a rebel like the Heavenly Ghost Sect would participate.

"Hmph, our Heavenly Ghost Sect isn't the only demonic sect participating. All the cultivation sects will send people over. What's there to be afraid of?"

Lu Youyou said disdainfully, "If there's nothing else, we need to leave soon. It'll take a long time to get there."

"Yes, have you picked my Wisdom Tea leaves?"

Song Shi said playfully.

"In your dreams. Do you think I'll pick tea leaves for you for free like last time?"

Lu Youyou crossed her arms, her face full of disdain.

"Then I'll bring the tree and the Spiritual Soil back and pick them myself."

Song Shi said calmly, "Lead the way. This thing should have been returned to me a long time ago."

"Stingy. Can't even bear to part with a tree."

Lu Youyou mocked, but she could not refuse. She could only bring Song Shi to her cave abode.

In the quiet cave abode, a tall tea tree shone brightly, emitting an aura that made one's ears and eyes clear and their thoughts active.

"Dig it yourself. I get annoyed just looking at it. It's taking up my space."

Lu Youyou's annoying look was actually an act.

Song Shi waved his hand and three flying swords shot out, piercing through the ground.

With a boom, a large area of soil was cut off by him.

"Hey, you can just dig the tree. Why are you digging so much soil?"

Lu Youyou grabbed Song Shi's arm angrily to stop him.

"Why are you so stingy? I'll take some soil from you and give you some tea leaves in the future."

Song Shi patted his Heaven and Earth Pouch and stored the tea tree and several acres of land.

Lu Youyou was so angry that she hit Song Shi hard, "Why are you so bad? You even destroyed the manor."

Seeing that she had hit Song Shi yet the latter did not feel anything at all. She directly bit down on his arm.

"Hiss~" n0๐“ฅ๐žฎ๐ฅ๐‘ข๐—Œ๐”….๐‚0๐ฆ

Song Shi's face twitched as he said speechlessly, "Are you a dog?"

Lu Youyou had the Nine Nether Divine Body to begin with. Her physique was considered strong, and her teeth were even more powerful. When he was unprepared, she actually bit him until it hurt.

"Give me back my soil!"

Lu Youyou bit Song Shi's arm and spoke through her mouth.

"Let go of me first, or I'll break your teeth. Do you believe me?"

Song Shi felt like his flesh was about to be bitten off.

"Give me back my soil!"

Lu Youyou didn't let go.

Song Shi touched Lu Youyou's body.

"Ah!"

Lu Youyou hurriedly dodged, "Pfft!"

She spat and scolded with a red face, "You're shameless!"

"You're not wearing any underwear again." Song Shi glanced sideways.

"Pervert, get lost!"

Lu Youyou bared her fangs and brandished her claws, "I pursue freedom. So what if I don't wear underwear?"

"Alright, I understand."

Song Shi glanced at the teeth marks on his arm. "But you're really a dog."

"Old ghost, don't think that you can bully me just because I can't beat you!"

Lu Youyou was fuming with anger. "Even if I'm a dog, I'll bite you to death, you bastard!"

When Song Shi saw Lu Youyou open her mouth and pounce over, he dodged.

"A good man doesn't fight with a woman!"

He got rid of Lu Youyou and returned to the manor. He planted the Wisdom Tea Tree at his door.

Bai Xiaoqin happily flattened the soil around the tea tree. She picked a piece of tea leaf and sniffed it. "It smells so good."

Song Shi stroked Bai Xiaoqin's hair and looked at the lush tea tree. "I'll be going out for a while. Cultivate well at home."

"Yes, you must be careful when you go out. I'll wait for you at home."

Bai Xiaoqin said gently.

"Okay."

Song Shi was all smiles. He thought of something and opened his hand to take out a doll-like figure.

"Take this. It'll protect you."

Song Shi placed the Ancient Battle Puppet in Bai Xiaoqin's hands just in case.

Compared to Liu Ruxue, for some reason, he liked this female ghost more and did not want her to be hurt.

He usually provoked many people. If he left the Battle Puppet behind, unless a Soul Transformation cultivator attacked, there would basically be no danger.

"Thank you, husband."

Bai Xiaoqin happily accepted it. She still did not know how powerful this doll was. Its value was probably comparable to ordinary Numinous artifacts.

"Oh, take this too."

Song Shi handed the Teleportation Talisman that he basically would not use to Bai Xiaoqin. With this 'double insurance', he was completely at ease.

โ€ฆ

"Young Master, these two things are not ordinary. You need them more."

Bai Xiaoqin did not recognize the Battle Puppet, but she could tell that the talisman was extraordinary.

"No, I don't."

Song Shi shook his head. Battle Puppets and Teleportation Talismans would only affect his courting of death.

He pinched Bai Xiaoqin's face, "Be good and hide well."

Bai Xiaoqin's face was red with happiness.

Song Shi tidied up and flew on his sword to Lu Youyou's location.

Looking at Song Shi, who was covered in flames, Lu Youyou pouted. "You are so pretentious."

She had not seen this Blood-Robed old ghost for a few days and he had inexplicably become a sword cultivator again. She naturally felt that it was strange.

"Just you?"

Song Shi said.

Lu Jiu had asked him to go to the Langya Immortal Dao Meeting of the Nine Nations held in Great Qian. Even if he was participating, he shouldn't be going alone, right?

"Dream on. No matter how powerful you are, you're only at the Golden Core realm. There will definitely be a grand elder leading the team. This time, Senior Brother Luo and Senior Master Jiang will be there. There will also be a hundred disciples and deacons attending. You, Senior Brother Luo, and I will represent the sect to participate in the trial during the Immortal Dao Meeting."

Lu Youyou's hands flew over, "Senior Master Jiang and the others should be gathering too. Let's leave quickly."

Heavenly Ghost Sect's most majestic Heavenly Ghost Hall was engraved with all kinds of evil ghosts and emitted a sinister and strange aura.

Shi Tianya, Lu Jiu, and the others were gathered at the entrance of the hall. A huge black ship floated beside them.

"Sect Master, Youyou has the Life and Death Gu in her body, is it really suitable for her to participate in this meeting?"

In the crowd, an old man with snow-white hair and beard and a face like a baby hesitated.

"There's something she needs so she has to make a trip there. Otherwise, I don't know if there will be a chance next time."

Lu Jiu explained, "However, she has a life-saving method on her, Elder Jiang, you should also be careful on the way. Although there shouldn't be any danger."

"I understand. Blood Robes as well. Isn't he also poisoned by the Gu? If he goes out, he'll be easily targeted."

Jiang Sha voiced the doubts in his heart.

"Him? Hehe, this person likes to cause trouble, but he's also very difficult to kill. I asked him to go because I wanted to attract some danger. As long as he's in danger, you all will be safe."

"Fair enough."

Jiang Sha's eyes lit up.

"I asked Youyou to call him. He'll probably be here soonโ€ฆ He's already here."

Lu Jiu turned to look at Song Shi, who had arrived in front of the hall on the Fire Flying Sword. He nodded. "Blood-robed Elder, I'll have to trouble you from now on. Just get a high ranking in the trial."

This time, he had to show his face again. But he did not plan to fight for anything. After all, his sect master was not going.

"I'll try my best."

Song Shi did not comment and recalled the situation of the Immortal Dao Association that Lu Jiu told him.

This was an ancient event that was held once every one hundred years. It had been held before the establishment of the Great Qian Empire. The sects that participated basically covered the entire continent.

As for the goal, other than competing for resources in a space, it was to show their strength and resolve some disputes.

Moreover, in order for the competition to be intense enough, the various large factions would even offer a portion of treasures as a reward for the final winner.

Participation in the trial was actually also equivalent to a ticket and one had to participate to enter the meet. It was somewhat similar to the sports meet in school that Song Shi knew of. However, this was a group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators participating.

"Elder Jiang will be leading the team this time. I hope Blood Robes will cooperate with us."

Lu Jiu added, afraid that Song Shi and Jiang Sha would fight among themselves.

"Blood-robed Elder, with you taking the lead in the trial, our Heavenly Ghost Sect's performance in the Langya Mystic Realm will not be bad."

Jiang Sha smiled kindly at Song Shi. Although this Blood-Robed old ghost was not very obedient, his strength was still worthy of his recognition.

"Elder Jiang, you flatter me."

Song Shi nodded. This old man looked quite evil and his kindness contained a terrifying murderous aura. Only those who had cultivated ghost cultivation techniques to perfection would exhibit such a sight.

In fact, this old man's nickname was Perfected Lord Ghostfiend. He was as famous as Ghost Butcher and was even stronger. Now that the other two grand elders were poisoned and were not suitable to go out, they were led by him.

He had not interacted much with this person, but according to these rumors, this old man was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Now he was amiable, but who knew when he would turn into a demon.

"This guy is really good at pretending."

Luo Chi cursed. The other party was clearly also a Golden Core cultivator, but he made himself look similar to Elder Jiang and the other Grand Elders, making them look like they were a generation younger.

Hundreds of people landed on the Great Kraken Ship with the Heavenly Ghost Sect's flag. After a slight tremble, they turned into a black cloud and left.

While they were moving, a few figures outside the ghost pit opened their eyes, glanced at the Supreme Kraken Ship, and then disappeared.

Beyond the black clouds was the blue sky and white clouds. Song Shi stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the desolate Nether City below. He realized that the ship was flying south.

"Langya Mystic Realm is at the border of several countries. It makes people yearn for it."

Song Shi muttered. The Langya Mystic Realm was one of the most famous mystic realms on the surface. Rumor had it that it was left behind by the ancient Great Empire, the Langya Kingdom. It had its own space and countless treasures.

It was just that this mystic realm was too high-end. It only opened once every hundred years, and no country could monopolize it. After all parties compromised, they created an immortal path that would divide the resources inside every hundred years.

"There's someone following us."

Jiang Sha walked over and said in a negotiating tone, "Elder Blood Robes, are you interested in killing him? I remember that you need blood."

"They're too weak. They're not qualified to feed my Blood River Dharma treasures."

Song Shi said disdainfully, "Let's wait until we accumulate more."

After another half a day, there were clearly more shadows following them in the dark.

Most of these people were scouts and they followed them to grasp the movements of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

There were also those with malicious intentions.

"I'll kill them!"

Seeing that Song Shi did not move, Luo Chi snorted and was about to kill him.

"I'll leave for a while and help you deal with them."

Song Shi suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter, Blood-Robed old ghost?"

"I have something to do. I'll be in Langya Secret Realm on time before the Immortal Dao Conference."

Song Shi's figure disappeared.

Behind the Supreme Kraken Ship, there was a bang.

A flower of blood bloomed. Someone was blown up before he could even scream.

The crimson river of blood swept past, and shattered bones fell from the blood. Song Shi's blood-colored robe appeared.

His clothes were Dharma artifacts that could change colors. At this moment, coupled with the blood river that filled the sky, he looked like the Blood-Robed old ghost had reincarnated.

"Anyone who dares to follow will be killed without mercy!"

Cold words came out of his mouth, making the others stop, their gazes filled with fear.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, you dare to kill someone from the Flower Room?"

Someone questioned.

"I don't care if you're from the Flower Room or the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Why don't you take a step forward?"

Song Shi was filled with killing intent as he muttered in his heart.

This Flower Room relied on intelligence to survive. Its influence was like a spiderweb that spread throughout the country. Ordinary cultivators were rather afraid of them because at some point, their whereabouts had been deliberately sold to their enemies.

However, it was good that he had offended this faction. He was just worried that his enemy did not know that he had come out alone.

Seeing that Song Shi was so unyielding, the people who were secretly following him finally left tactfully.

Song Shi did not chase after the Supreme Kraken Ship. Instead, he left in another direction.

"Eh, this old ghost actually dares to leave alone!" n0๐“ฅ๐žฎ๐ฅ๐‘ข๐—Œ๐”….๐‚0๐ฆ

The eyes of the people hiding in the distance lit up. His whereabouts were worth a lot of money.

Report chapter Comments

There was a type of power in this world. They did not fight and kill, nor did they trade physical items. They only sold information.

They would sell valuable information.

For a person like the Blood-Robed old ghost who had been a hot topic of discussion recently, any bit of information on him was valuable, especially to his enemies.

"The Ye Family has a bounty of ten thousand spirit stones for his whereabouts. Hurry up and send the news back!"

"This Blood-Robed old ghost is too arrogant. He offended our Flower Room, so we will sell you to death!"

Communication Talismans lit up and shot out like meteors.

Song Shi had not gone far when some of the factions selling information learned of his appearance.

"I wonder what kind of enemies I will attract. The Ye Family? Vajra Sect? Or the Sky Demon Cult's Deputy Cult Master?"

As he thought to himself, he deliberately slowed down and landed in the forest. His aura quickly converged and became calm.

He was cultivating the Turtle Breathe Technique. Compared to Teleportation Talismans and Battle Puppets, this technique was very useful when he wanted to kill enemies.

"The Nine Yang Divine Technique is proactive. This spell focuses on silence and can be combined with the Grand Moon Visualization Method."

His powerful Comprehension allowed Song Shi to quickly find the trick. The violent Dharmic powers in his body gradually calmed down, like the setting of the sun.

As he walked in the lush forest, the aura on his body became weaker and weaker. As his Nomological power converged, he looked like a mortal for a moment.

Suddenly, there was a chill behind him. A cold wind blew, and a bloody mouth pounced out onto him in the wind.

This mouth seemed to have waited for a long time and treated him as prey. It bit him cleanly without any unnecessary actions.

Song Shi resisted the urge to use his Nomological power and did not explode. However, he despised the stench in this mouth and turned to look at the black shadow.

In his reaction and vision, the movements of the black shadow that launched the sneak attack seemed to have been slowed down. In his eyes, he clearly saw a colorful tiger with sharp teeth.

When the tiger's mouth was half a foot away from Song Shi's neck, a hand grabbed his neck first. Under the powerful impact, Song Shi's hand did not move at all.

Crack!

He gently exerted strength and the tiger's neck was broken. It screamed in pain and fell to the ground. It struggled but could not get up. It was obvious that the tiger would not survive.

"There's also a problem with using the Turtle Breathe Technique. It's easy to be mistaken for a weakling, so this stupid tiger didn't notice."

He deliberately revealed a trace of his aura, forming a circle of pressure. Immediately, rustling sounds appeared in the nearby forest.

Many of the wild beasts that were prepared to catch what they thought was a cicada or oriole behind were frightened and retreated.

On Song Shi's journey, no ordinary wild beasts came to disturb him. His Crowd Control Ability increased exponentially.

In the past, he could be said to be a sword that showed off his 'sharpness', but now, he is able to restrain his sharpness. This was an improvement.

If the sword was too strong, it would break easily. After all, lonely person would not grow for long. Be it the Nine Yang Divine Technique or the Pure Yang Scripture, both had already entered the stage of harmonizing Yin and Yang.

According to Ye Wenzhong's experience in Nascent Soul, the key to the Golden Core to Nascent Soul realm was the coexistence of Yin and Yang. Only by merging with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth could one break through the bottleneck and transform into a Nascent Soul.

Apart from the principles of Yin and Yang, Song Shi's cultivation speed had always been too fast. Althought his growth pattern was rough, he could finally deeply control these powers.

The Turtle Breathe Technique did not have much combat strength, but at this moment, it was like a key that opened the door to a new stage of cultivation.

Song Shi gained more and more insights. His entire body was in a state of enlightenment. The sense of time passing in the outside world disappeared. Unknowingly, a long time had passed and it was already dark.

The night did not affect cultivators like him. Song Shi continued to walk through the mountains like a mortal. His entire person blended in, bringing with him a unique charm.

Brilliant light bloomed from his glabella. It was as silver as the moonlight and as dazzling as a bright moon. The Spiritual Energy in his sea of consciousness boiled and gathered crazily towards his Lunar Star.

The latter's light became brighter and brighter. Its body began to shrink and spin.

The familiar scene was very similar to the time when he condensed his Golden Core. However, his Spiritual strength was very special. It could not be replenished by directly absorbing Spiritual Qi from the outside world. It had to be transformed by the combination of Song Shi's Essence Qi and Nomological power.

Even though it was only a Spirit Star, its transformation speed was very slow. It could not compare to Song Shi's first Golden Core.

Fortunately, his cultivation was deep, his body was strong, and he had a solid foundation. The entire process was slowly and steadily advancing, and his Spiritual strength was undergoing a transformation.

The space between his eyebrows flickered. If he stood closer, he would look comparable to the ninth moon.

In the middle of the night, Song Shi's entire body trembled. The light between his brows converged, and a powerful psychic power erupted, forming a Spirit storm that caused the nearby Void to fluctuate. The vegetation was shattered by an invisible force.

Swoosh!

A pair of eyes that were as bright as the moon appeared in the night. They contained powerful mental power, which caused his long hair to dance in the wind, making him look especially elegant.

"Dingโ€ฆ Congratulations on cultivating the Grand Moon Visualization Method to perfection. You have been rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

A system notification sounded in his ears. Song Shi sighed in his heart. "My Spiritual strength has finally broken through and condensed a special Golden Core at the Spiritual level."

Nomological power could form a pill, and Spiritual strength could also form a pill. However, the difficulty was much higher. After all, Spiritual strength could not directly absorb and refine Spiritual Qi. It relied on other forces to help.

Therefore, the power of his Spirit Golden Core was far above that of ordinary Golden Cores. He could even kill cultivators below the Golden Core realm with a thought.

Such cultivators with powerful Spiritual strength were very terrifying. When they cast spells, their power would be inferior to other cultivators with inferior Spiritual strength.

In the Heavenly Ghost Sect, only Old Man Nightmare could condense a Spirit Golden Core at the Golden Core realm. Therefore, when he risked his life, he could affect the Nascent Soul realm with his divine thoughts.

Other cultivators did not achieve this when they were at the Golden Core realm, especially Old Man Nightmare, who had reached this stage when he was at the perfected Golden Core realm.

"The Yin Spirit Golden Core has been formed and my Spiritual strength has increased greatly. It's not a burden anymore."

Song Shi revealed a smile. Previously, his Spiritual strength evaluation was only four stars. Now, it had soared to six stars.

He continued to adjust his physical and spiritual strength, condensing them into one, like primordial chaos. n0๐“ฅ๐žฎ๐—…๐“Š๐“ˆ๐.๐‘0๐Œ

Perhaps his Spiritual strength had broken through, and unknowingly, his Imperishable Golden Body Primordial Chaos Chapter had also reached perfection. Unfortunately, this part was incomplete and he did not get the chance to draw the lottery.

"The Chaos Essence Chapter has ended. Let's take a look at the second level of the Imperishable Golden Body."

With a breakthrough in his Spiritual strength, Song Shi was temporarily fine. He took out the Imperishable Golden Body and tried to open the second page.

Without any difficulty, he opened it.

Yin Yang Chapter!

Mixed Yuan gave birth to Yin and Yang, and its power was limitless.

Song Shi was stunned. Indeed, the Great Dao was interlinked.

While Song Shi was studying the second volume of the Imperishable Golden Body,

A pair of black eyes were observing Song Shi, who was walking like a mortal from afar.

"What is this old man doing? Reading books?"

Confusion surfaced in his eyes.

This dignified Golden Core cultivator was actually not flying in the sky. Why did he come up to the ground to walk on the soil? And he was still reading.

"His condition is a little strange. Could it be that this old ghost is cultivating?"

The other person landed on the grass beside him and seemed to have some knowledge.

"It doesn't matter if he's pretending to be a god or a ghost. Act according to plan!"

Soon, two assassins with killing intentions approached Song Shi in the darkness.

Song Shi, who was in an ethereal state, sensed something amiss and did not raise his guard against it.

These two people had worked so hard to trace him here, so he had to give them a chance.

Report chapter Comments

A cold light emerged from the darkness and stabbed at Song Shi's temple from a hidden angle.

Song Shi was still reading seriously with his head lowered, as if he did not notice anything.

The assassin instinctively sensed that something was wrong. This was too easy.

However, he had no choice but to continue. What if this person was really careless?

Crack!

It was as if he had stabbed a rock. His head was broken by the dagger Dharma treasures with difficulty and finally pierced successfully.

The skull was hard but the brain was weak. The Dharma treasure that pierced into Song Shi's temple released its power, shattering the interior into paste.

Song Shi fell to the ground on the spot, completely dead.

The other assassin, who was about to make a move, saw that his companion was actually so successful and did not rush out again.

The cultivator who killed Song Shi looked at the corpse on the ground in surprise, "He died just like that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shi's body disappeared.

"Your attack was fast, accurate, and ruthless. Not bad."

On a big tree at the side, Song Shi appeared and looked down at him like an assassin who had blended into the darkness.

The latter was like a frightened poisonous snake, twisting its body to dodge, afraid that Song Shi would take the opportunity to counterattack.

Landing under a tree opposite him, the assassin on the surface revealed a sinister gaze and sneered. "Hmph, you're really as the intelligence said. You're very good at escaping. I didn't even kill you."

Swoosh!

Just as Song Shi's attention was attracted by this person, a black shadow darted out from the side. A faint cold light slashed across his neck, and with a poof, his head was forcefully cut off.

On the head that was spurting blood, Song Shi's expression was calm. He did not panic at all from the sneak attack. He smiled faintly. "One in the open and one in the dark. Since you can't attack openly, you attracted my attention and let your companion have a second chance to assassinate me. You are indeed not bad."

The expression of the spy who had beheaded Song Shi changed. He pointed in the air and suddenly stepped back to dodge Song Shi.

Unfortunately, there was no counterattack, making him seem like a frightened bird. He was too vigilant.

Song Shi's expression was still calm. His headless body fell and disappeared in midair before he even landed.

Soon, an unharmed Song Shi appeared between the two of them.

The pupils of the two assassins contracted. Their best teamwork had failed to kill this person. It would be even more difficult for them to continue.

Since the assassination failed, they had to act openly next.

As for giving up this mission, they had yet to consider it.

"Which faction are you from? The Ye Family? Sky Demon Cult or Vajra Sect?"

Song Shi asked curiously.

"Wuji, someone spent a lot of money to take your dog life. It seems that it's really not easy to kill you."

The cultivator who openly attacked snorted and reported his background.

"Wuji?"

Song Shi was surprised. This was an assassin organization. They did things after being given benefits and were active in the entire continent. However, they rarely made a move. This was the first time he had encountered someone from there.

The biggest characteristic of this organization was that they liked to move in both the open and in the dark. There were both open and hidden hands, hence it was impossible to guard against them.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, if you can stop the two of us again, we won't do this business today!"

The figure of the person in the dark suddenly faded and disappeared into the night.

"I didn't expect the first group to come to kill me to be an assassin organization."

Song Shi sighed. "Money talks. How much am I worth now?"

He wondered if he could kill him once and collect the bounty himself.

"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"If we kill you, we can save ten years of work!"

"It's so valuable that I'm a little tempted."

Song Shi was stunned. This price was enough to buy a top-grade Dharma treasure. It was enough for some people to take a gamble.

"That's why I need to 'borrow' your head."

The killer on the surface became erratic, like a wisp of green smoke approaching.

It could be seen that even in a head-on battle, the other party had used a rather strange movement technique.

Song Shi watched quietly. He appeared like he was unprepared and did not retreat.

He did not even use any Nomological power, let alone the power of his Spirit Body.

This frightened the killer. He circled around Song Shi, not daring to attack immediately.

Song Shi sneered. "What's there to be afraid of? I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it?"

The green smoke suddenly dispersed, and a bloody hole appeared between Song Shi's brows.

He easily killed Song Shi, but the assassin was not happy at all.

It was the third time!

This person actually allowed them to kill him. It was too easy.

"Be careful. This guy's methods are very strange. Right now, we should only be killing his special clone!"

The spy who was secretly prepared to attack at any time was reminded.

Although that was the case, they still did not resist killing Song Shi and killed him many times.

The two of them started to doubt their lives.

They had been assassins for many years, but this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Usually, the people who were assassinated by them would either panic, fight back angrily, or turn around and escape.

Who would stand here and let them kill them like this?

This was too easy. It was so easy that they felt uneasy.

They would never have thought that Song Shi was using them to farm the number of deaths until they could not kill him anymore.

Ten times, twenty timesโ€ฆ a hundred times.

The two of them took turns to attack, each time attacking a vital point.

Even so, they still felt that he was very difficult to kill.

This fellow's body was too hard, just like Dharma treasures.

Every time they wanted to break through his body and attack his vital points, they had to expend a lot of strength.

They were actually a little out of breath after such a simple slaughter fest.

And Song Shi still stood there, allowing them to attack.

In fact, after every kill, this person did not change his position. He just kept resurrecting.

"We've already repeated this so many times. What's going on? Can't we kill him?"

"Are we hallucinating?"

The two of them looked at each other and were a little suspicious.

They were unwilling to believe that Song Shi would not die, and they could not find any reasonable explanation that he would not die either. Therefore, they could not help but think that this was caused by illusions.

Only when one was in an illusion would such a strange situation that did not make sense appear. n0๐—๐“”๐“ต๐”ฒ๐—Œ๐‘ฉ.๐—ฐ0๐“ถ

"I don't feel like I'm under an illusion at all. Do you?"

"I didn't either. It's impossible for both of us to be under an illusion at the same time, right?"

"Could this then be Transmogrification?"

"Bullshit, I'm sure what I did was real!"

As the two of them spoke, they actually revealed suspicious expressions. They both felt that the other party was a Transmogrification created in the illusion.

They felt that the real scene was definitely not like this. Perhaps the two of them were fighting each other or attacking the surrounding rocks, vegetation, and even the air.

"What are you two doing? Continue?"

When Song Shi saw the two of them muttering, he said impatiently, "Your attacks are very sharp. Continue."

The professional assassins were indeed different. Although their cultivation levels were not much higher than his, their attack power was very strong.

These two were like assassins in a game. They could deal fatal damage according to one's shortcomings.

"Looks like this really might be an illusion. How can anyone stand there and wait for death? In the end, he died so many times yet we haven't succeeded too?"

"This must be an illusion!"

Neither of them believed what they were seeing. They turned around and tried to retreat.

"It's reality. Why are you running?"

Song Shi was speechless. This was the first time he had encountered a guy who thought he was hallucinating because he had killed him too many times and too easily.

Report chapter Comments

Song Shi's indestructible nature confused the two assassins. They felt that this was a brilliant illusion.

"Stay!"

With a cold snort, Song Shi suddenly threw out a handful of array flags and inserted them into the surroundings at an extremely fast speed, forming a Trapping Array.

His finger moved in the air and a talisman flew out. A huge seal flew into the air and released a circle of light, turning into a huge cage that enveloped the two of them.

"Damn it, this must be an illusion. How could he draw a talisman with his bare hands?"

Seeing Song Shi use the Heavenly Talisman Technique to draw talismans out of thin air to trap them, they were even more certain that this was not real.

"It's fake, he must be fake!"

The two of them did not move. Instead, they formed hand seals on the spot and released a Spiritual Storm, hoping to escape the illusion.

However, the surroundings were still the same. Nothing had changed.

"Damn it, why is our mental cultivation method to break the illusion useless?"

The two of them were shocked and furious. This was the first time they had encountered such a brilliant environment. There was actually no way to break it at all.

This time, they really panicked.

When Song Shi saw their panic, he really did not know what to say.

Perhaps, the most powerful illusion was that one that made the victims unable to differentiate reality.

He simply took advantage of the situation and chuckled, "Is that all you have? Kill me and you can escape."

Their expressions were ugly.

This person actually asked them to kill him.

He was definitely not someone a normal person should say.

"We can't kill him. The more we kill him, the deeper we'll fall into the illusion!"

They did not dare to attack.

They thought that killing Song Shi was actually an illusion. The more they killed, the deeper the illusion.

They focused their attention elsewhere, hoping to find a way out.

Seeing that the two of them actually thought that it was a misunderstanding and did not dare to attack him, Song Shi was helpless.

Song Shi decided not to waste any more time. He began to circulate the Nomological powers in his body, and it was as if a volcano that had been quiet for a long time had suddenly erupted!

With two loud bangs, two lives ended.

The Blood River Dharma treasures absorbed another two balls of blood. Just as they finished absorbing, the Blood River Dharma treasures shook slightly. Runes flew out and began to form a new combination.

"ROAR!"

The runes transformed into a blood python that swam happily in the void, causing the blood river to boil.

Song Shi was surprised, "I didn't expect this thing to advance!"

Before he obtained this Dharma treasure, he had absorbed an unknown amount of blood from the Blood-Robed old ghost.

The other party had used the Blood Refinement Sect's special method of refining Dharma treasures to refine the soul of a python into it. Under the constant fusion, the blood river had the potential to grow.

In his hands, this thing kept absorbing blood, but the blood's quality was very high. Especially after devouring the Ye Family's golden blood last time, it showed signs of advancing.

Now that it had reached the critical point, the Blood Python began to evolve. It absorbed the power of the Blood River and became larger and larger.

The original Blood Python had signs of transforming into a dragon, so Song Shi could not help but pay more attention.

If it could successfully advance, he would have another Numinous artifacts. Furthermore, the effect of this thing was very special. It might even be more useful than the Golden Spear.

Suddenly, the Blood Python trembled, showing signs of insufficient strength.

Song Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a moment. In the end, he confirmed that it was very difficult to break through by itself.

The Blood Python did not retain much spirituality to begin with, so it was impossible for it to know any refining techniques. At this moment, it was relying on its instincts to improve.

There were many uncertainties to begin with, and even if it does succeed, it would take a very long time to do so.

"I have to help it advance. Fortunately, I cultivated the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique and can directly refine this special Dharma treasures!"

Song Shi formed a seal, and his heart beat rapidly.

In the special space hidden inside, there was a blood-colored pool of water that was more than 30 feet wide and bottomless.

Suddenly, the blood pool churned and blood gushed out like spring water, landing on the Blood River Dharma treasures.

He had already cultivated the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique to the third level of the Blood Pool Realm. It corresponded to the Golden Core Realm of the Golden Core Great Dao. If he broke through another realm, he would reach the Blood River Realm.

At the next realm, the power of the blood river in his body would be as astonishing as the blood river Dharma treasures from before. The difference was that one was his own power, and the other was a special Dharma treasure refined from external blood.

In fact, this Dharma treasures were refined with the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique. Now, with just one more step, the Blood Python could transform into a dragon.

The corresponding cultivation technique realm was actually the Great Mastery realm of the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique.

Blood Spirit Realm!

Song Shi was looking forward to it. If his Dharma treasure reached the Blood Spirit realm now, it would also be a testament to his cultivation of the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique.

As his blood gushed in, the trembling Blood Python opened its mouth and swallowed it. After obtaining strength, it began to evolve steadily.

However, this was not enough. Song Shi formed a seal and shot out runes. At the same time, he took out some materials and fused them into it.

He was refining artifacts to help the Dharma treasure advance. This way, he could perfectly control it during the advancement process so that after succeeding, the spiritual Dharma treasure would not fly away.

The blood river unexpectedly began to advance and Song Shi was forced to spend time and effort to refine it. For a moment, he was delayed on the spot.

The strong smell of blood spread out like a bright light, continuing to attract other enemies.

He deliberately restrained the power of the array flags and talismans so that he could lure the enemy over to attack.

After half a day, another group of people came.

"What is this old man doing?"

"Could the Blood Python in front of him be the artifact spirit of a special Dharma treasure?"

"Impossible. If there's an artifact spirit, wouldn't it be a Numinous treasure? It should be a Dharma treasure refined using a special method. Now, it's being refined again."

"He definitely doesn't have much strength to defend himself now. Kill him!"

Song Shi glanced at the dark corner and stood on the spot, continuing to refine weapons.

For a moment, no one dared to go up. They thought that it was a trap.

After a long time, someone finally couldn't stand still and launched a fierce killing move.

In an instant, Song Shi's head flew away, and blood gushed out from his neck.

Similar to the assassins of the Wuji Sect, the person who easily killed Song Shi also felt that it was too easy.

Then, a similar scene repeated.

Because Song Shi did not resist and waited for death, some people doubted the authenticity. When they wanted to retreat, they were killed by Song Shi. n0๐”ณ๐–พ๐“›๐—Ž๐“ข๐’ท.๐” 0๐“ถ

After obtaining a new blood replenishment, the Blood Python in front of Song Shi roared angrily. Claws grew out from under its body, and a horn grew on its head. It officially began to transform into a dragon.

Its body continued to grow, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than a thousand feet tall. Moreover, it continued to expand. After absorbing the blood river, blood-colored scales appeared on its body.

During this process, the entire river of blood transformed into a blood dragon that was more than a thousand meters long. A powerful might spread out, forming a blood-colored light that soared into the sky, attracting the surrounding power of heaven and earth.

RUMBLE!

In the next moment, dark clouds gathered and lightning actually brewed.

"Hmm? The advancement of Dharma treasures will also attract lightning tribulation?"

Song Shi was surprised. He felt that the so-called lightning tribulation was more like a result of the sudden change in strength.

"ROAR!"

The blood dragon roared at the sky. Amidst the deafening dragon roar, Song Shi saw a hint of intelligence in the blood-colored flood dragon's eyes. It was afraid.

He pondered. "The souls of demon beasts have been fused into Dharma treasures through special methods. In the future, they can completely grow into artifact spirits. The growth potential is very good!"

Just as he was praising, the world suddenly turned cold. There was no rain in the dark clouds. Instead, snowflakes fell first.

"Hehehe, I came at the right time to witness the birth of a Numinous artifact."

The crisp laughter of a young girl sounded. Among the snowflakes, strange-looking paper effigies appeared and smiled at him.

Report chapter Comments

This scene was very strange. The densely packed paper effigies were like soldiers, surrounding Song Shi in a circle in the blink of an eye.

In the snow, living people landed one after another, sealing off Song Shi's escape route.

Hong Luo was wearing a long red dress. Her face was like a young girl's, and her face was exquisite. She sized up Song Shi with a teasing look in her eyes.

Her voice was crisp and long, "Should I call you Song Shi, Blood-Robed old ghost, or Ye Wenzhong?"

"What's Guardian Hong Luo's relationship with this person?"

Lu Bingxuan, who was emitting Mystic Ice Nomological power and had snow-white eyebrows and beard, seemed to be deep in thought.

"A year ago, I summoned the projection of an evil god in Silken City to cut off the Dragon Vein Qi. This person's previous body was one of the sacrifices. He should have died, but this body is still here. I'm quite curious how he slipped away under my nose." n0๐”ณ๐–พ๐“›๐—Ž๐“ข๐’ท.๐” 0๐“ถ

Hong Luo had a curious look in her eyes.

"It's probably some substitute Dharma treasures."

"Old woman, are you pretending to be young again?"

Song Shi's expression was mocking. This woman looked like a young girl, but she was actually vicious and ruthless. This could be seen from the time she broke all the bones in his body.

"Your mouth is still so smelly. I don't care who you are. You'll die today!"

Hong Luo's eyes darkened. She was too lazy to investigate this person's situation. She pointed at him with her short finger, and many paper effigies rushed over with strange smiles.

Song Shi glanced at the blood dragon. Worried that the fight would ruin the advancement of the Dharma treasures, he tapped his feet and shot out.

When he was far away, he threw out the array flags again and stuck them near the blood dragon. At the same time, he freed one hand and threw out talismans to stick to the surroundings.

Now that the situation was special, Song Shi did not have time to draw talismans himself. After building a defense line for the blood dragon, he was already entangled by the paper effigies.

"Ridiculous. You still want to protect your Dharma treasure at this time?"

Lu Bingxuan mocked, "Die in peace. This Numinous artifact is ours!"

He formed a seal with both hands and shouted, "Snow Skin Prison!"

As his Nomological power activated the power of heaven and earth, the temperature dropped again. Countless ice and snow danced. Amidst the whistling wind, they formed ice-cold walls of snow and wind in all directions.

These special walls were more than a thousand feet tall and thick. They covered the sky and turned into a prison, trapping Song Shi inside.

"This time, I'll kill him!"

Song Shi was not in a hurry to court death. Instead, he raised his hand, and the golden flames on his fingertips quickly condensed. In the blink of an eye, they became the size of a millstone. Then, he attempted to throw this huge fireball at the paper effigy.

Boom!

Some of the paper effigies were engulfed by the golden flames. The strange thing was that they were not instantly burned. They were only ignited.

However, this was not because the paper man was resistant to fire, but because the power of ice and snow around him quickly weakened his fireballs, greatly reducing the power of his spells.

"The surrounding fire attribute power is almost gone!"

Song Shi was shocked. Was this the ability of someone with half the strength of a Soul Transformation cultivator? He could mobilize the power of heaven and earth and suppress opponents weaker than him.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, your Dharmic powers have been weakened by more than half by me. Surrender and you can suffer less."

Lu Bingxuan looked confident. With him around, he did not believe that he could let this person escape today.

When Song Shi saw that his Nomological power was suppressed, he pretended to be shocked. He was entangled by the paper effigy that approached him in the blink of an eye.

Hong Luo stepped in the air and approached. "You should still have the memory of me breaking your bones back then, right? Do you want to taste it again?"

"Come on."

Song Shi had a strange expression. "Let's see if you can break all my bones this time."

A murderous look appeared on Hong Luo's face. She instantly arrived in front of Song Shi and grabbed his arm, breaking it like last time.

In the end, when she used all her strength, Song Shi's arm was completely fine. Her face could not help but turn green and red.

"I really didn't expect that after not seeing you for a year, your bones are getting harder and harder!"

Hong Luo sneered and took out her other hand. At the same time, she bent her arm and attacked the joint.

Song Shi moved his arm, and his body flowed with golden light. The runes flickered like Dharma treasures, but he was still fine.

Hong Luo's expression turned ugly. How could this fellow's bones be so hard? She actually couldn't break it. Compared to last time, the difference was simply like heaven and earth!

"Why? Haven't you eaten?"

Song Shi was disdainful.

Hong Luo raised her hand and pulled out a hairpin Dharma treasure. With a poof, it pierced through Song Shi's glabella.

218 A Slap

"Just because you're tough doesn't mean that I can't kill you."

Hong Luo's eyes were emotionless, "However, you were captured so easily by me. I don't think you'll die from this."

He was defeated just by her throwing a fireball. Even if this person was still at the Golden Core realm, this definitely was not all he had.

The next second, her pupils constricted.

Song Shi appeared behind her out of thin air without any warning.

Amidst the dragon's roar, a volcanic eruption of power poured down on her back and instantly shattered the air between them.

Song Shi retracted his palm and looked at the shattered Hong Luo. The other party had already become a paper figurine that was burning in the flames.

"Paper clone?"

He fell into deep thought. This clone looked even more brilliant than his One Qi Cloning Technique because the paper figurine had a physical body and was more resilient.

At this moment, the other paper effigy turned into Hong Luo. She looked like a real person, and her eyes were a little more serious, "Your method of escaping is quite brilliant. It seems that the benefits of killing you are higher than expected."

"Do you want me to help you restrict him further?" Lu Bingxuan asked. He had already sensed that Song Shi was troublesome.

Even he did not notice how Song Shi escaped just now. He too had thought that she had killed the real Song Shi.

"Not yet!"

Hong Luo was competitive. She formed a hand seal with one hand and the paper effigy chuckled. A sword appeared in her hand and she stabbed it at Song Shi.

Amidst the cracking sounds, Song Shi's body shone with golden light, shattering all the swords.

"That's it?"

Song Shi was very disappointed, "You want to kill me with just a few paper swords?"

"Imperishable Golden Body?"

Lu Bingxuan narrowed his eyes.

Logically speaking, a fellow with such a tough body wouldn't be able to escape. However, this person actually knew how to dodge her attacks. The situation seemed to be getting more and more troublesome.

It was as if the paper effigies did not see that Song Shi's Dharma treasures were unable to break through their bodies. New paper effigies continued stabbing out at him.

The back of Song Shi's head hurt as Hong Luo approached him and pierced him with a hairpin.

The paper effigies that were unable to injure Song Shi were only there to protect Hong Luo's true killing strike.

The problem was that Song Shi always appeared at the side unscathed. He casually counterattacked, and flames soared into the sky, blasting many paper effigies into ashes.

There were burning paper effigies everywhere. Gray smoke filled the air. Song Shi stood on a mountaintop and stared sharply at the many paper effigies who were still smiling.

"This old woman is not easy to kill!"

He muttered in his heart. After a few exchanges, he realized that the other party could instantly switch places with the surrounding paper effigies. Her speed when dodging over short distances could also be said to be akin to teleportation. Moreover, he could not be sure which paper effigies the other party would switch places with, so it was very difficult to kill her.

This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful enemy. Song Shi felt that it was as troublesome as killing the Blood-Robed old ghost previously.

The Blood-Robed old ghost could fuse his body into the blood river at anytime, while this old woman had many substitutes.

Looking at the densely packed paper effigies around him, which numbered no less than a thousand, Song Shi felt that if he did not destroy them all at once, it would be very difficult to threaten them.

Hong Luo also felt a headache regarding Song Shi.

Her cultivation was clearly a realm higher, but she could not find any flaws in this person.

In her eyes, this person was full of flaws and could be easily attacked, but his body was too hard. If she wanted to kill him, she had to attack his vital points.

However, every time she killed him, he would escape, causing the supposed flaw in her eyes to be of no value at all. She did not know how to kill this person.

RUMBLE!

At this moment, lightning descended and started to attack the Blood Dragon.

The Array Formation and talismans left behind by Song Shi helped block a portion of the heavenly tribulation. Amidst the furious roars, the Blood Dragon used the power of lightning to undergo the final transformation.

Lu Bingxuan frowned and reminded him, "Hong Luo, hurry up. That Numinous artifact has been upgraded. Killing him will be even more troublesome."

Numinous artifacts, especially those with special demon beast remnant souls as artifact spirits, were often much more troublesome.

"Understood!"

Hong Luo formed a seal with his hands, and the paper effigy that was entangling Song Shi emitted light. The strokes on it released flames that exploded under Song Shi's stunned gaze.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening explosions sounded one after another. The paper effigies turned into Explosive Talismans, and their power was even more terrifying than ordinary Explosive Talismans.

The Explosive Talisman was one of the most destructive types of talismans. Usually, a high-grade Explosive Talisman could blow up a mountain, and even the most ordinary one could blow up a building.

The method of making Explosive Talismans was simple, but it was a huge waste of Spiritual Qi. Because of its power, this kind of talisman consumed several times or even dozens of times more than those of the same level. Moreover, it was easy to dodge.

Of course, the range of the explosion that surrounded Song Shi was too wide. At this moment, a radius of ten thousand feet was filled with destructive power.

Lu Bingxuan was familiar with Hong Luo's methods. He immediately switched to his spell and quickly retreated.

However, his Snow Sky Prison was still maintained for the time being. He restricted the aftershock of the explosion to a single space and augmented the power of this explosion.

Song Shi was in the center of the explosion. Even his Dharma treasure-level body could not withstand an explosion of this scale.

"Damn, this explosionโ€ฆ"

Before he could take another look, he shattered and melted in the explosion. The weak parts of his body were destroyed, leaving only a skeleton that flickered with golden light.

The Snow Sky Prison was on the verge of collapse. Cracks appeared under the impact of the explosion. Fire spewed out, illuminating the two people who appeared.

"He's dead this time, right? The area he escaped from just now was within a thousand feet."

Lu Bingxuan looked at the center of the explosion. The flames broke through the prison and turned into a brilliant mushroom fire cloud that spanned more than ten thousand feet.

The surrounding forest trembled and was instantly shattered by the aftershock. Then, it burned, forming a ring of Firestorm that spread out majestically. The spark from the raging fire tore through the air, forming a sound like the roar of a magical beast in fire.

"Hu huโ€ฆ"

Hong Luo was clearly panting. Using so many Explosive Paper Dolls at once was a huge consumption of Spiritual Qi for her.

However, before she could take a few more breaths, a numbing feeling inexplicably arose in her heart. She instinctively felt a chill run down her spine.

BANG!

A terrifying collision force surged over and her entire body emitted a cracking sound. She let out a muffled groan as she was smashed to the ground. A huge pit instantly appeared on the ground, and a large wave swept up.

In the huge pit that was dozens of feet deep, Hong Luo's entire body crumpled. She was actually slapped until she became deformed!

"After burning up all the paper effigies, I've finally found your true body!"

Flames danced in Song Shi's palm, leaving behind a terrifying explosive force.

"He's still alive!" n0๐’ฑ๐—ฒ๐’๐“Š๐‘†๐“ซ.๐—ฐ0๐“œ

Lu Bingxuan's pupils suddenly constricted. He clenched his hand, and a huge ice snake that was thousands of feet long suddenly rushed out. It swallowed Song Shi, who was in the midst of cooling down and rushed into the sky.

Song Shi's entire body turned cold. He realized that even his Pure Yang True Fire could not withstand it, so he simply could not be bothered to resist. In the blink of an eye, he turned into an ice man.

"Hmph, how can a Golden Core like you withstand my Mystic Ice Will-O-Wisp?"

Lu Bingxuan sneered and clenched his fist. The ice snake lit up and bit down hard.

Kacha kacha!

Cracks appeared on Song Shi's frozen body. A moment later, he was bitten into pieces of ice. His killing method was completely different from Hong Luo's.

"He should have died this time."

Lu Bingxuan's expression was solemn. He had seen with his own eyes that Hong Luo had failed to kill this guy time and time again, it had made him lose confidence.

In the huge pit on the ground, Hong Luo's flesh squirmed and a girl flew out.

She looked like a pocket-sized version of Hong Luo. At this moment, her face was ashen and she was a little hysterical. "Damn it, he destroyed my physical body. How did he escape my Red Lotus Burial technique?"

As she cursed, she took out a paper figurine and prepared to hide in it for the time being.

Although a cultivator's Nascent Soul could be considered a second life, it was still fragile. They could not stay outside without protection for a long time, or their souls would dissipate.

"Red Lotus Burial? Why does it look like a mushroom instead? It doesn't look like a red lotus at all."

Song Shi appeared on the ice snake and looked at the mushroom cloud that had congregated at its last moment. He was very disapproving. n0๐•๐ž๐‘™๐—Ž๐—Œ๐”Ÿ.๐‘ช0๐‘€

He did not know that Hong Luo had detonated all the paper effigies that could be detonated in order to kill him. It had already exceeded her control limit, so it naturally did not appear as exquisite like a red lotus.

"How can you still be alive!"

Hong Luo was not in the mood to explain. When she saw Song Shi, she was so frightened that her body trembled. She screamed in disbelief, "The Red Lotus Burial just now would even make a Soul Transformation cultivator's expression change. Why are you still alive?"

"No matter how powerful it is, it's only effective it the power is unleashed. Otherwise, it will be a large firework."

Song Shi smiled mockingly and did not admit that he had indeed died at the hands of this spell.

"How the hell did you get away!"

Lu Bingxuan questioned. He had personally crushed Song Shi's body just now. At that moment, he really felt that he had killed his main body.

"Get away? You're my enemies. Don't tell me you want me to tell you the secret technique so that you can restrain me?"

Song Shi pursed his lips and stomped on the ground.

Boundless flames exploded. With a loud bang, the ice snake seemed to have been smashed by the sun and was broken. Following that, the ice snake broke inch by inch.

Lu Bingxuan frowned. This guy's explosive power was a little strong. He could even break his spells and divine powers. His true combat strength was comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He changed his hand seals, and the shattered ice dragon suddenly spun, forming a Frost Tornado that trapped Song Shi.

It was as if Song Shi had become a mortal again and arrived at a three-foot-freezing season. The cold wind sliced through his body like blades and he felt his bones ache from the cold.

"This guy is much stronger than Hong Luo!"

Song Shi, who was submerged in the snow, evaluated in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't die, he would definitely have died today after being blocked by these two demons.

He did not use the power of the other Golden Cores. It was just that the power of one Golden Core could not resist this terrifying freezing power. His eyebrows and hair were quickly dyed with a layer of frost.

"Let's die a few more times and see what this guy has up his sleeves."

Song Shi calmly looked at the two figures outside the Frost Tornado. In the blink of an eye, they turned into icicles and were torn apart by the tornado.

It had to be said that compared to Hong Luo's explosion destroying his body, Lu Bingxuan's Mystic Ice power was actually more powerful.

Hong Luo stood at the side with a pale face. She stared at the shattered figure in the storm with a worried expression. "He's so calm. I'm afraid we still haven't killed him this time."

Indeed, Song Shi appeared behind them out of thin air. Nomological powers surged in his hand, transforming into a golden fire dragon that roared as it blasted out.

BANG!

The transparent ice wall blocked the fire dragon. The flames rolled in front of him, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared.

A transparent ice wall had appeared around the two of them, forming a special Defense barrier.

"Still not dead."

Hong Luo smiled bitterly with a helpless expression, "What kind of freak is this guy? Every time we kill him, it's not his main body."

She attacked more and more ruthlessly, but all she hit was this person's shell. There was no effect at all.

"Something's not right. Even if he knows a supreme divine power, he shouldn't be so imposing after fighting for so long. But now his aura is still at its peak."

Unlike Hong Luo, who was already doubting her life. Lu Bingxuan remained calm and sensed that something was wrong.

"Hmm, you're right. If he is using the Golden Cicada Shedding Shell technique, this kind of divine ability should consume a lot of energy. Why is he still so calm after using it so many times?!"

Hong Luo's eyes flashed as she came back to her senses.

"Maybe you're under my illusion?"

Song Shi teased. These two guys were quite powerful. If they wanted to retreat, he did not have the confidence to keep them. It would be best if the two of them fought. Only then would he have a chance.

Hong Luo's expression changed. She glanced at Lu Bingxuan warily.

Could it be that the person in front of her was not a real person and she had been fighting with Lu Bingxuan?

If that was the case, it made sense. After all, her magic power was slightly weaker than the other party's.

"Impossible! Don't be bewitched by him to fight with me."

Lu Bingxuan snorted coldly. "I cultivate the Nine Heavens Ice Fiend Technique, which is most effective against illusions. There is no point in you spouting nonsense and bewitching people!"

"Oh, so confident?"

Song Shi pursed his lips. "Then kill me a few more times."

BOOM!

The Blood Dragon, which was transcending its tribulation in the distance, suffered a lightning strike with an overwhelming Aura. A portion of its runes were shattered by the lightning. However, after this lightning strike, the dark clouds in the sky had already dimmed, and the lightning began to dissipate.

"Look, this heavenly tribulation can't be fake. We were lured here by it."

Lu Bingxuan looked confident.

"Why can't you think about how this heavenly tribulation came about? Maybe I was the one who deliberately lured you here using it. Maybe it's also a part of the illusion."

Song Shi said meaningfully, "Could it be that the two of you really think that Numinous artifacts are so easy to refine? How many do the two of you have?"

Hong Luo's expression changed as she gripped the hairpin in her hand tightly. This was her only Numinous artifact, which was why she could easily pierce through Song Shi's head.

Lu Bingxuan narrowed his eyes. He was not too sure about everything in front of him.

"Come on, keep killing me."

Song Shi deliberately walked over at a neither fast nor slow pace. He did not even use too much Nomological power this time and restrained his physical strength.

A cold glint flashed in Hong Luo's eyes. The hairpin Numinous artifacts emitted a cold glint as she stabbed out with all her might.

Song Shi was penetrated by the special Numinous artifacts and quickly died. Following that, he appeared by the side. He did not attack Hong Luo directly, but instead, he killed her. "Look, now you know that you are attacking air, right? You have already fallen into an illusion and cannot extricate yourselves."

"Illusionโ€ฆ"

Hong Luo was a little stunned. Why was it like this? It clearly felt very real.

"Hmph, I don't believe that you would come here for no reason to remind me that this is an illusion!"

Lu Bingxuan opened his palm, and a blue icicle suddenly shot at Song Shi. The freezing power of this thing was even more terrifying. It actually froze Song Shi the moment it came into contact with him.

This time, he was not in a hurry to shatter Song Shi. Instead, he walked in front of him and sneered. "I won't kill you this time. I'll freeze you with the Ten-Thousand-Year Black Ice Spike and see if you can still revive."

"This guy is really smart!"

Song Shi was surprised.

"Eh, it really didn't appear out of thin air this time. Could this be his main body? Or did another one only appear after he was killed?"

Hong Luo came to the frozen Song Shi in shock and observed him, wanting to find out the reason.

At this moment, the frozen Song Shi was suddenly covered in golden divine light. Then, a hand broke through the ice and instantly reached out to grab Hong Luo. Her Nascent Soul was grabbed out.

"No!"

Hong Luo never expected Song Shi to still be able to move. With a hiss, she was crushed by the flames.

Report chapter Comments

Be it Hong Luo or Lu Bingxuan, they did not expect Song Shi, who had been frozen into ice, to still be able to move. Otherwise, Hong Luo would definitely not dare to approach him so casually.

The careless approach this time had crushed Hong Luo's Nascent Soul, who still had a chance of survival. She died unwillingly in the brutal flames.

"Dingโ€ฆ congratulations on killing the target of death. You are rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

After more than half a year, Song Shi had finally avenged himself. He eliminated the old woman who had tortured him and increased his lucky draw chances to three.

Compared to Song Shi's quick revenge, Lu Bingxuan was in a daze. Compared to this person's previous method of escaping, he did not expect Song Shi to be able to move.

Not to mention a Golden Core cultivator, even if he was hit, he would definitely not be able to escape this freezing power so easily.

With a dark expression, he activated the power of his Numinous artifact, Mystic Ice Spikes. Large amounts of freezing power were released, and for a moment, the space seemed to be frozen.

However, Song Shi's entire body emitted a Holy light. He directly ignored this power and easily passed through the obstruction. The Spear in his hand was like a long dragon that came out of its hole and stabbed over fiercely.

"He can't be froze!"

Lu Bingxuan was inexplicably shocked. He realized that the power of his Numinous artifacts could not restrict this person at all. It was as if there was a power that surpassed Nomological power that broke through the power of ice.

How could such power appear on a Golden Core?

Facing the golden Spear, he changed his spell. Ice walls appeared one after another and then they were all pierced through by the golden Spear.

Lu Bingxuan had no choice but to take out his Defense Dharma treasure. They were silver-white scales made of metal and looked like snake scales.

Ding!

Flames danced as Song Shi's golden Spear was blocked. Lu Bingxuan and his Snake Scales were forced to retreat.

Song Shi was a little surprised to see that the snake scales were not damaged by the golden Spear. He slapped away the Mystic Ice Spikes that were about to launch a sneak attack, "Oh, these are life-saving Dharma treasures."

"Hmph, these are the scales of a spirit snake. They're special Numinous artifacts. You won't be able to crack them!"

Lu Bingxuan's expression was arrogant. His snake scales were as big as a pot as they floated in front of him. At the same time, the Mystic Ice Spikes flew back. The blue light was resplendent and he could attack at any time.

Seeing that this person was powerful and had such powerful Dharma treasures, Song Shi knew that it would be difficult to kill him. He stopped his attacks and said with interest, "I heard that your second son was borne by a white snake. You also have snake scales. Impressive. You guys are willing to even bed a snake."

"Hmph, what do you know? After the white snake transforms, she's devastatingly beautiful. They're also beneficial to my cultivation. If it were you, you wouldn't be indifferent either!"

Lu Bingxuan was disdainful and smug.

However, he sized up the other party's situation and realized that the Holy Light had already dissipated.

Song Shi did not care if Lu Bingxuan could sense his problem. He smiled teasingly. "That makes sense. However, since you're so utilitarian, it's no wonder that she didn't follow you."

"Hmph, it's not your place to be nosy!"

Lu Bingxuan's expression was dark as he stared coldly at Song Shi. "You killed my son and her son. This is no joke!"

"I don't think you're losing out. After all, you've killed me twice. I've only killed your son once."

Song Shi shook his head, "In that case, you even made a profit!"

"I have to dissipate your soul and make you disappear from this world to avenge my son."

Lu Bingxuan's eyes were filled with killing intent. He used the Spirit Snake Scales to protect his body while attacking with the Mystic Ice Spikes. It could be said that he had perfect equipment. n0๐’ฑ๐—ฒ๐’๐“Š๐‘†๐“ซ.๐—ฐ0๐“œ

However, to Song Shi, it was easier to kill this person because this guy did not have a bunch of paper effigies to dodge attacks like the old woman.

He held the golden Spear in his hand and waved it. Golden dragons danced and dragon roars sounded as he attacked head-on.

"You want to kill me now? These are not enough."

Lu Bingxuan smiled mockingly. Although he did not have Hong Luo's life-saving means, his Dharma treasures cultivation was much stronger.

He formed a seal and pointed at the Void. The Mystic Ice Spikes lit up and transformed into an ice snake that fought Song Shi's golden fire dragon.

Shocking aftershocks from the collision spread out, and the world turned into white and gold. One was cold and the other was hot, turning into ice and fire.

"Is this really a f*cking Golden Core?"

The people who followed him were stunned, especially Lu Bingxuan's eldest son. He was a prodigy of his generation, but now he was doubting if he could compare to this Blood-Robed old ghost even at his full strength.

He laughed bitterly, "Even Guardian Hong Luo was defeated by him. Previously, I actually wanted to kill him myselfโ€ฆ"

"ROAR!"

In the distance, a blood-red light soared into the sky and broke through the dark clouds that had consumed the power of thunder. For a time, the world was covered in red light. A blood red dragon roared and rushed out.

"Success!"

Song Shi revealed a look of delight. This way, he also had two Numinous artifact, and his equipment was not inferior to this Sky Demon Cult deputy cult master.

"Stop this new Numinous artifact and subdue it!"

Lu Bingxuan ordered, unwilling to let the Blood-Robed old ghost add any more weapons to the fight.

Report chapter Comments

"Yes, Father!"

Lu Bingxuan's eldest son, Lu Ke, stared at the Blood Dragon fervently. If he could accept this Numinous artifacts, he had a high chance of obtaining them.

At that time, as long as he transformed into a Nascent Soul, with the help of this treasure, he would be considered a powerhouse in the cultivation world!

He laughed out loud. "Elders, it has just transcended its tribulation and is currently weak. Follow me to quickly suppress this demon!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the few of them arrived in front of the blood-colored dragon and took out their Dharma treasures to attack.

The Array Formation talisman Song Shi had set up had already been destroyed by the heavenly tribulation. Without the blood-colored dragon's protection, he could only rely on himself to counterattack.

The blood-colored dragon, which had just transformed into a dragon, hovered on the ground. Its remaining spirituality sensed danger and roared angrily, staring at Lu Ke and the others with a brutal and bloodthirsty intent.

Although its grade was very high and it was a weapon that could only unleash its full power at the Soul Transformation realm, it was still a weapon after all. Its combat strength was not strong enough and it could at most fight a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, Lu Ke and the others were all above the Golden Core realm, especially Lu Ke, who was a genius of the Sky Demon Cult's younger generation. His true combat strength was comparable to a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. The outcome of the battle would not be beneficial to him. n0๐šŸ๐‘’๐—…๐“Š๐’๐’ท.๐“’0๐š–

"He who understands the times is a wise man. You'd better submit obediently and not force us to damage your spirituality."

Lu Ke had a handsome face and his white clothes fluttered in the wind. Cold Nomological power circled nearby, making him look like a weakened version of Lu Bingxuan.

When Song Shi saw his Numinous artifacts being attacked, he knew that this singular weapon would definitely not be able to defeat these guys.

"You're still in the mood to care about this Numinous artifact? What a joke. I think you're about to spend all your Nomological power just by using this Spear Numinous artifact. You're still greedy for a second one?"

Lu Bingxuan's expression was mocking, "Soon, you will die under your own greed."

He increased his Nomological power and used the snake scales as a Shield to smash down fiercely, knocking Song Shi back with a clang.

Song Shi stepped into the Void and quickly stabilized himself. He smiled mockingly, "One Golden Core's Dharmic powers are indeed insufficient."

After using the golden Spear to attack a few times, it was indeed a Numinous artifact. The consumption was more than ten times that of Dharma treasures. Ordinary Golden Cores would indeed not be able to withstand it.

The problem was that he was not an ordinary Golden Core.

"It's good that you know. If you surrender now, I'll give you a quick death!"

Lu Bingxuan probed. As he did not see any panic on the other party's face, he did not let his guard down.

"Don't be anxious. Since one Golden Core isn't enough. I'll use a few more."

BOOM!

The air exploded. Song Shi's Golden Dragon Spear's Aura surged, and more than half of the power of ice was shattered by the spear.

Amidst the distorted energy, Lu Bingxuan's Dharmic powers were constantly broken through. The layers of ice became like paper paste. He was shocked, "You actually cultivated multiple Golden Cores!"

It was not that there were no Golden Core cultivation methods, but basically no one would cultivate them.

After all, the goal of a Golden Core cultivator was to break through this realm. Cultivation resources were tight, and cultivators had limited energy and lifespan. Many people found it difficult to cultivate even one Golden Core, let alone take the risk to cultivate more.

Didn't this fellow just break through not long ago? Not only did he have powerful Nomological powers and control Numinous artifacts, he even cultivated many Golden Cores!

Instantly, Song Shi unleashed more than half of the power of his Numinous artifacts. Coupled with his powerful body, he repelled Lu Ke, who had an advantage in cultivation.

The intense aftershock spread out, affecting Lu Ke and the others. As they resisted, they looked over in shock.

"Dad!"

"The Deputy Sect Master, who was halfway into the Soul Transformation realm, was actually forced back by a Golden Core?"

"How did he do it?"

The people of Sky Demon Cult were dumbfounded. In their eyes, Lu Bingxuan's strength was second only to the mysterious cult master and a few others. To be able to repel him, he should be an existence of the same level.

But this was a Golden Core cultivator, who was the same realm as them!

BOOM!

A deep hole was created in the ground by the power of the golden Spear. Lu Bingxuan landed beside him in a sorry state.

He stared intently at Song Shi, who was burning with six suns and golden flames, "No wonder he dared to fight me head-on with Numinous artifacts. So he has such a deep foundation!"

This person was already rather powerful with just one Golden Core. After unleashing six, with the help of the power of Numinous artifacts, he was indeed stronger than ordinary Nascent Souls.

He was not prepared just now, so he was repelled by a single strike.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to hold back.

Lu Bingxuan released all the Nomological power in his body, and his strength soared.

Opposite him, Song Shi's fire had an imposing aura. The Nomological power in his body surged continuously, and his Spear emitted a dazzling light, making him look like the God of War.

He looked at Lu Bingxuan, whose aura had increased with his outburst, and muttered in his heart, This guy was also hiding just now and didn't use his full strength. Looks like it's very difficult to defeat him since he unleashed all his strength.

Currently, he was stronger than six people at the same level. It was not a problem for him to be comparable to an intermediate or late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in a short period of time.

The problem was that this guy's strength was still too high. He was above the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

"Let's exhaust him first before killing!"

Song Shi could only use this stupid method, just like forcing the old woman to use her ultimate move in order to deal with this guy who had a higher cultivation level.

"What kind of look is that? You actually want to kill me?"

Lu Bingxuan frowned when he saw Song Shi's gaze. He instinctively felt that something was wrong.

He thought for a moment and did not hold back anymore. His hair suddenly turned snow-white, and his muscles and bones emitted a brilliant white light. The Nomological power in his body was like an iceberg.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, you should have some kind of powerful Spirit Body. Do you think I don't?"

Lu Bingxuan gripped the Mystic Ice Spikes. The white light on his body fused with the Numinous artifacts. With a loud bang, his Aura reached its peak.

"Have a taste of the power of the Mystic Ice Spirit Body!"

Space twisted and Lu Bingxuan instantly appeared in front of Song Shi. The icicle in his hand bit out like a venomous snake.

Song Shi brandished his Spear and attacked. With a crisp clang, a huge force surged over, causing his wrist to go numb.

He realized that Lu Bingxuan seemed to have ice-like skin and jade-like bones. Mysterious and cold runes flowed all over his body. His expression changed, "This fellow also has a high-grade Spirit Body!"

"I have a high-grade Great Mastery Spirit Body, but I can only say that it's rare. It's not normal for a Golden Core like you to have it. I'll bring you back to dig out your secret."

Lu Bingxuan, who was leaning against Song Shi, smiled sinisterly. He was certain that this Blood-Robed old ghost had a huge secret. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to have such a foundation.

After all, he was also a prodigy and was at the top of his peers. He had an advantage too.

BOOM!

Song Shi was sent flying. At this moment, Lu Bingxuan was serious. A portion of the power of heaven and earth was mobilized and suppressed Song Shi.

The surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower. Song Shi's strength was constantly being devoured, and his movement speed was slowing down.

Song Shi sighed, "This guy is actually so much stronger than Hong Luo."

He could smash Hong Luo's body with a single slap, but he could not do so against Lu Bingxuan.

Under the enhancement of the Dharmic powers of a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator, Song Shi fell into the snow. In the end, because his movements were slow, he was killed by Lu Bingxuan.

Looking at the Blood-Robed old ghost that was pierced and frozen, Lu Bingxuan shattered it with a palm and waited with narrowed eyes.

In the distance, the besieged blood-colored dragon was also at a disadvantage. Its angry roars could not change the disadvantaged situation.

Suddenly, with a tragic cry, Song Shi appeared out of nowhere and pierced through a Golden Core elder with his spear. At the same time, he raised his hand and grabbed at the blood-colored dragon.

The latter wailed as blood-colored runes circulated. It was unwilling to be put away. Its body quickly shrunk and circled around Song Shi, turning into a special Dharma treasure that was both offensive and defensive.

Seeing that Song Shi was unharmed and his aura was at its peak, Lu Bingxuan's pupils constricted. When he thought of Hong Luo's death, he actually felt uneasy.

This guy still managed to evade his killing move. He made a prompt decision, "Retreat!"

Song Shi was stunned. "We're not fighting anymore?"

"Blood-Robed old ghost, one day, I find out about your everything"

Lu Bingxuan took a deep breath and suppressed his killing intent.

Before knowing the exact situation of the other party, he did not have the confidence to kill this person. Naturally, there was no need to waste his energy and give this old ghost a chance.

"Don't. And your words are too little misleading."

Song Shi rejected him. What nonsense was that? Why did his words feel a little ambiguous?

Lu Bingxuan met up with the others in a flash and sneered mercilessly. "Haha, you killed my son and now you've even killed a Guardian of my Sky Demon Cult. Even if I don't make a move, you would definitely die by some way or another."

"Really?"

Song Shi was in a good mood. It was great that he had provoked the entire Sky Demon Cult.

"Father, is there something wrong with this old ghost's brain?"

Lu Ke found it a little strange. He knew very well how powerful and terrifying their Sky Demon Cult was.

This fellow was actually not afraid of an existence that could shake the foundations of the Great Qian Dynasty. Even if the other party was an elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he should not be like this, right?

"A little. In the past, the Blood-Robed old ghost who killed people like flies and committed all kinds of evil deeds was considered normal. Nowโ€ฆ because he have been possessed repeatedly, his Spirit has been messed up."

Lu Bingxuan guessed.

The other elders and disciples were enlightened and revealed looks of pity.

"What a pity. This old ghost was also an important figure back then. Now, he has become a lunatic."

"Looks like you won't become a demon unless you're crazy."

"It's best not to provoke such a person. If you provoke him, you have to kill him."

Hearing their strange discussion, Song Shi's face darkened and he scolded back, "You guys are the ones who are mentally ill. I think the entire Sky Demon Cult is mentally ill."

He just wanted to farm the rewards. How was he mentally ill?

"Let's go. Don't waste your breath on a lunatic!"

Lu Bingxuan waved his hand and gave up on fighting Song Shi.

Song Shi patted the Blood Dragon at his waist. After obtaining his Nomological power, this new Numinous artifact's aura surged like a rainbow. It raised its head and let out a long cry, transforming into a Blood Dragon that was ten thousand feet long. It shook its head and wagged its tail as it charged towards the Heavenly Devil Cult members.

The blood light emitted by the long dragon covered the sky and earth. Even plants withered instantly when they were shone on. Their vitality was taken away, and its power was even more terrifying than before when it had only turned into human flesh.

At the same time, the power of the Golden Spear in his hand formed a Fire Golden Dragon. The scorching power distorted the air and the withered plants turned into ashes.

The Blood Dragon devoured Life, while the Fire Dragon burned the Heavens and destroyed the Earth. One was strange and demonic, and the other was huge and domineering. Under the combination, it was as if two dragons had come out of their caves. It was unstoppable, causing the expressions of everyone in the Sky Demon Cult to change.

"This fellow actually activated two Numinous artifacts!"

Facing the two dragons that shook the world, Lu Bingxuan's face twitched.

His Spirit Snake Scales were not considered complete Numinous artifacts. Even so, coupled with the Mystic Ice Spikes, he had expended a lot of his Nomological power.

Facing the pursuit of the two dragons, he had no choice but to attack.

He formed seals with one hand and an ear-piercing hiss resounded. As he activated his Numinous artifact with all his might, the Mystic Ice Spikes transformed into an ice snake that faced the Blood Dragon that contained the blood light that filled the sky.

As soon as the sky-blue ice power came into contact with the blood-colored light, it contained an extremely terrifying ice power, causing the extremely corrosive blood light to stop spreading.

The golden fire dragon with scorching flames struck the snake scales. As the flames danced, the Dharmic powers of the surrounding people boiled and evaporated.

"Hmph!"

Lu Bingxuan's eyes lit up. With a thought, he forcefully mobilized the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

What surprised Song Shi the most was that this guy had snatched all the spiritual qi he could mobilize. It was not that he could not mobilize it, but that he could not beat the other party from snatching it.

This way, Lu Bingxuan's Dharma treasures and spells could use the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to recover and strengthen, but his could not.

"Blood-Robed old ghost, this is the true difference between you and me. In front of me, you can't use much Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth."

Lu Bingxuan had a proud expression. His Nascent Soul was close to the Soul Transformation realm, and it could affect the power of heaven and earth. It was not something the other party could compare to.

Lu Ke and the others heaved a sigh of relief. When the two dragons flew over just now, they really felt terrified.

"It's indeed impressive."

Song Shi nodded and patted a yellow bag at his waist.

In the next second, a devouring power was suddenly released from the bag. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge hole and landed on the snake scales, beginning to devour this special Dharma treasure.

Snake Scale trembled on the spot as it flew towards the Heaven and Earth Pouch. Lu Bingxuan's expression changed as he hurriedly slapped the Heaven and Earth Pouch, wanting to stop it.

However, a large hand that emitted golden light and held a golden dragon spear also slapped over at this moment, meeting his palm head-on.

BANG!

With a muffled sound, space distorted for a moment. Song Shi retreated in the opposite direction. At the same time, he grabbed the snake scale with his other hand and threw it at the Heaven and Earth Pouch.

The closer he got, the more uncontrollable the snake scales became and the light quickly dimmed.

"Don't you dare!"

Lu Bingxuan shouted. However, he also took half a step back when they collided. He did not have time to stop them.

"Father, let me help you!"

Lu Ke and the others did not stand there foolishly. They hurriedly activated their Dharma treasures and attacked Song Shi's vital points.

In the end, Song Shi could not dodge at all. He did not give up on the snake scales despite being attacked head-on by a few Golden Core cultivators. As he stuffed this thing into his Heaven and Earth Pouch, he was also hit in his vital points.

With a few cracking sounds, flying swords, spears, arrows and other Dharma treasures stabbed into Song Shi's vital points, giving him a fatal blow. One arrow, in particular, pierced through his eyes.

Before he died, he put away his Heaven and Earth Pouch and glanced at the guy who was shooting arrows.

This was the first time he had been shot to death by an arrow. The destructive power of such a Dharma treasure was even more powerful than needle-type Dharma treasures.

The person Song Shi was staring at was a burly middle-aged man. His body trembled as he instinctively sensed danger.

However, when he saw the light in Song Shi's eyes dim and his body begin to fall uncontrollably, he frowned and hesitated.

This fellow should be dead. Was there a need to be afraid? Could he still be alive like before?

"Father, did we manage to kill him?"

Lu Ke was a little excited to see Song Shi die from a fatal injury.

"It's not that simple. Let's freeze this old ghost first!"

Just as Lu Bingxuan was about to activate the Mystic Ice Spikes to freeze Song Shi, the latter disappeared in the fall and silently appeared beside the elder that shot him.

"Interesting archer. You've hit the jackpot."

Song Shi grinned at the archery elder. In the midst of the attacks from the few people just now, this person had dealt the fatal blow and was the target of his lottery draw.

"Deputy Sect Master Bing Xuan, save me!"

Being targeted by Song Shi, the elder who controlled a pair of bow and arrow Dharma treasure felt his hair stand on end. As he used his longbow to hit Song Shi, he plead for help.

However, the two of them were too close, especially when Song Shi appeared behind him.

He simply used his physical strength and with a puff, the person's protective Dharma treasures were shattered by a palm strike. The other party's longbow hit Song Shi, but it did not even break through the protective golden light. As for him, he was blasted apart.

Song Shi had no regrets in killing this person.

One was that the reward for a Golden Core to kill him was limited and there were many people from the Sky Demon Cult. There was also Lu Bingxuan, who was stronger than him. If he did not kill him decisively, he would not have much of a chance.

"You've gone too far!"

Lu Bingxuan's Mystic Ice Spikes quickly landed. He did not kill Song Shi, but wanted to freeze him.

Song Shi's Ragnarok was still on cooldown. Sensing the other party's thoughts, he did not want to be trapped. He raised his Spear and knocked back the Mystic Ice Spikes, only accepting the fatal attack. n0๐‘ฃ๐–พ๐“ต๐’ฐ๐”ฐ๐‘ฉ.๐’ธ0๐—†

"Lu Bingxuan, what's wrong with you guys? You can't even deal with one person?"

At this moment, an impatient voice suddenly rang out. Another Sky Demon Cult powerhouse had arrived.

Report chapter Comments

"What bad luck."

Song Shi cursed in his heart. It was already very difficult for one person to kill these guys. If there were Nascent Soul cultivators, he basically had no chance. They could take turns to recover their Nomological powers.

If he continued fighting for too long, his secret might be exposed.

"Qing Yan, even Hong Luo is dead. Do you really think we're here to deal with an ordinary person?"

Lu Bingxuan was not too angry. His words fully revealed Song Shi's threat.

"What!"

A green flame figure in the distance exclaimed, "Hong Luo's life-saving means can be said to be number one among our four Guardians. Are you joking?"

"You'll know when you get here."

Lu Bingxuan couldn't be bothered to explain. When this guy fought with the Blood-Robed old ghost, he would understand his difficulties.

"Then I'm a little interested."

His green eyes landed on Song Shi, and his gaze seemed to have warmth.

"He just killed an elder under your command."

Lu Bingxuan added. He wanted to provoke Qing Yan to attack the Blood-Robed old ghost. He was secretly looking for opportunities to expose Song Shi's flaws.

He had to kill this Blood-Robed old ghost!

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

Song Shi realized that he would be trapped if he continued fighting, and Ragnarok had yet to complete Cooldown. It would be easier for him to be sealed in the Ghost Pit Array like before. He immediately turned around and left.

"Flowing Fire Spirit Arrow!"

Qing Yan shouted in a low voice. Song Shi sensed a beam of light flying towards him.

The speed of this light was unbelievably fast. Although it could not compare to the speed of light, it was actually difficult for him to dodge.

"Another arrow?"

Song Shi was shocked. His heart heated up and before he could feel any pain, his heart was pierced through. The scorching green flames melted a huge hole in his chest.

He turned around with great difficulty. A tall and slender middle-aged man with his hair tied up and holding a longbow appeared in front of him.

"Good shot!"

Qing Yan did not see the fear he had expected. He looked surprised. "There's really a problem with him. How can he be so calm?"

"The two of you, I'll come and kill you in the future. Clean up first and wait."

Song Shi grinned and his figure disappeared into thin air.

This time, he did not appear beside anyone else.

Lu Ke and the others, who were already on guard, were nervous for a moment. In the end, they did not see the Blood-Robed old ghost launch a sneak attack. They looked at each other.

"Where is he?"

"Could he have escaped?"

"That's way too amazing. How can he escape in front of two Nascent Souls?"

Qing Yan looked at Lu Bingxuan. "What exactly happened? How could he escape our perception in an instant?"

"I didn't see through it either."

Lu Bingxuan sighed. "Before you attacked his vital points, I had already tried a few times. Every time, it seemed like I could kill him. In the end, I didn't know if I hit his clone or if he really wouldn't dieโ€ฆ"

"There's such a strange personโ€ฆ"

Qing Yan was stunned and looked curious. "If there's a chance, I have to capture him and study him carefully."

"The problem is, he's not easy to catch."

Lu Bingxuan's head hurt. He could not help but think of the mysterious golden light emitted from the Blood-Robed old ghost's body. There was a hint of greed in his eyes.

He yearned for that power.

In Silken City, in an ancient well in the backyard of the Song residence, it was already autumn and winter. The well water had dried up, and only the bottom still had water.

Suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air in the middle of the ancient well.

"Back home again!"

Song Shi muttered. In order to escape the pursuit of the two Nascent Souls, he simply chose an alternative resurrection point.

He patted his waist and took out a silver-white snake scale the size of a millstone.

This thing did not have any spirituality, but its material was exceptionally hard. It was not damaged at all even after colliding with the golden Spear several times.

"It's a Numinous artifact-level material. If I find some materials of the same level and refine them a few times, there's a high chance of them becoming Numinous artifacts. Unfortunately, it's a Defense Dharma treasure. What's the use of it for me?"

Song Shi shook his head with a look of disdain.

" I will sell it for money!"

He humphed. Although he had failed to kill Lu Bingxuan this time, he had obtained a Numinous artifacts material from him. His gains were not small.

The most important thing was he finally killed the old woman, his enemy!

At the thought of this, the spoils of war he obtained from killing the old woman appeared in his hand.

It was an emerald green ancient hairpin engraved with delicate patterns. It looked like a phoenix and should not have been refined by Hong Luo.

What was left was a storage ring. Song Shi used his thoughts to break through the Taboo Powers and took out a pile of special red paper. A portion of the red paper had already been cut, but it was incomplete.

A pair of scissors at the level of Dharma treasures and a few carving knives should have been used to cut the paper effigies. A few special talisman pens and a few jars of spiritual liquid should be the tools to make paper effigies.

When Song Shi saw this, he took out a few Jade Slips and a tattered manual from among the miscellaneous items. On the manual were the words "Paper Encyclopedia". After flipping it open, it was indeed a variety of paper effigy manufacturing methods.

He had mastered some of the Dao of talismans, so it was not difficult for him to look at this thing. He realized that paper effigies were similar to talismans.

The difference was that the runes contained in the paper effigies were more complicated. They were a little like Dharma treasures that could fuse with thoughts and even souls. They were also rather similar to puppets, but they did not have the firm bodies of puppets.

The advantage of this thing was that the Cost of making it was far lower than Dharma treasures and puppets. It was slightly higher than talismans and could carry multiple runes.

"Interesting. The person who founded this path must be a craftsman."

Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. Ordinary people would not be able to think of turning paper effigies, a combination of folk art and talismans, into a special weapon.

He continued to read and saw this sentence.

Everything had a spirit, and paper can be cut to form a weapon.

"What a bold saying. Is he saying that it's as good as creating soldiers from beans?" n0๐’ฑ๐—ฒ๐“›๐šž๐‘ ๐”Ÿ.๐šŒ0๐“‚

Song Shi smiled. Then, he found the way that the old woman had used to dodge his attacks with a paper effigy just now.

it was called Shifting Position!

It was not a paper clone, but a rune similar to a Teleportation Talisman was engraved on the paper effigy, achieving the effect of turning the paper effigy into a substitute.

He looked at it for a long time and finished browsing through the relevant content before sorting out the other things.

Hong Luo's paper-cutting inheritance and hairpin Numinous artifacts were the most valuable. The rest were all conventional resources.

There were quite a lot of Spiritual Stones, about one hundred thousand Spiritual Stones, several bottles of pills, and the rest were just random ingredients, such as mirrors, shoes, clothes, makeup, identity tokens, and so on.

He found a bottle of Beauty Pills in the pill. Song Shi was enlightened. "No wonder the old woman looks so tender. This pill can lock one's youthful appearance."

Song Shi opened it. There were actually a few more inside. He poured them out and ate one. A special medicinal effect fused into his flesh, seemingly freezing it.

Song Shi touched his face and felt that nothing had changed. He continued to fiddle around and found a few exquisite clothes at the level of Dharma artifacts. There was even a long dress for Dharma treasures.

"Women are so particular."

After Song Shi finished organizing his things, he patted his Heaven and Earth Pouch and stepped out of the ancient well.

The dilapidated scenery that he had expected did not appear. The manor he saw this time had actually been tidied up by someone. There were no spiderwebs that filled the sky, the dust that was everywhere was cleaned up, and the weeds were all cleared.

"Eh, is there someone living here again?"

Song Shi landed on the limestone floor curiously. With a sweep of his mind, he realized that the entire manor had been refurbished. There were living people walking and cleaning inside.

He frowned slightly. "Won't the new owners find it unlucky to stay here?"

Report chapter Comments

A servant walked in with a wooden bucket. When he saw Song Shi beside the well, he was stunned for a moment before he opened his mouth and screamed.

"A ghost?!"

Song Shi's face darkened when he saw this guy turn around and run away in fear. "What ghost?"

It was not easy for him to make a trip back home, but in the end, he had become a ghost in the eyes of others. In his depression, Song Shi slapped him away.

Swoosh! n0๐‘ฃ๐‘ฌ๐—…๐“Š๐’ฎ๐”Ÿ.๐‚0๐‘š

He instantly caught up to him and stepped on him. He said angrily, "Which eye of yours saw that I'm a ghost?"

The bucket rolled out. The real feeling of being hit made the servant come back to his senses. He was so frightened that his face was scrunched up. He turned to beg for mercy, "Young Hero, please spare me. I'm not knowledgeable enough. Please forgive me."

"Tell me, where are you from? Who is living in the Song Mansion?"

Song Shi questioned.

"Young Hero, this is the residence of the Song family. Elder Song is the master."

The servant answered with a grimace.

Song Shi frowned, "Where is he?"

"Elder Song has gone out. I heard that he's visiting the famous martial artists and cultivators in the city."

The servant said meaningfully, "Young Hero, our Elder Song is a Connate expert."

Song Shi was deep in thought, "What's his name?"

"Song Hai. He is known as Iron Hand Song."

The servant said proudly, thinking that Song Shi was afraid. He continued, "Our Elder is now a famous martial arts master in the city."

"Fourth brother!"

Song Shi was stunned. In their generation, there was only one man who learned martial arts.

The fourth son, Song Hai.

As for the reason, it was indeed because Song Hai's Talent was not bad. He was recognized by Elder Qin and was sent to the Divine Palm Sect to cultivate. It was similar to Song Jia being sent to the Spiritual Sword Sect.

"And you are?"

Upon hearing Song Shi addressing his Elder as Fourth Brother, the servant stole a glance and realized that they did look a little similar.

Song Shi recited his origin.

Song Hai was the only one of his generation who had a good relationship with him. The first time he went to a brothel, Song Hai brought him thereโ€ฆ

"Young Master of the Song family? Aren't most of the men of the Song family dead?"

The latter was surprised for a moment. He thought of something and felt his blood run cold. He crawled back in fear.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not a ghost."

Song Shi knew at a glance that this fellow had misunderstood him. He walked out angrily and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When he turned around, he could not see Song Shi. The servant's face turned pale as he scrambled away.

In order to avoid trouble, Song Shi flew out of the Song residence and landed in an empty alley. He spread out his thoughts and many voices surged over.

"Buy some buns. They just came out of the oven. Don't miss them."

"A bowl of Yang Chun noodles, less spicy please."

There were many sounds of hawking in his ears. Song Shi seemed to be deep in thought. "It seems that the situation is much better here now. Business has recovered a little."

As he walked out of the alley, a lively scene appeared in front of him. There were not many people, but it carried a hint of the mortal world.

"After a year of chaos, the city has finally calmed down a little. I hope these days can last."

"It's difficult. Although Great Qian has recaptured Jinzhou, the price they paid was very high. Now, the control is not as good as before. All kinds of demons and ghosts can walk around the city freely."

"Sigh, commoners like us can't afford to offend them. Just hide. It's better to live than die."

His gaze swept across a restaurant. From some discussions, Song Shi found out that Jinzhou had been conquered by Great Qian and had temporarily settled down.

"Looks like the rebel army has been declining in progress recentlyโ€ฆ"

Song Shi was actually a little happy. Not only was Jinzhou his hometown, but he also preferred stability.

Even though he was in the demonic sect now, he felt that Great Qian was more suitable for ruling this city than the demonic sects who killed people like flies. After all, many people in Jinzhou had lost their lives because of the demonic sects.

Looking at the scene that resembled the past, Song Shi was in a daze.

His profligate life seemed to have only happened yesterday, but now, he was doing well in the cultivation world.

"I'm no longer a mortal. I should disguise myself a little."

The air around Song Shi distorted for a moment. When he turned a street, he looked like another person.

He used the Thousand Transformations Technique and transformed into a youth. This person he transformed to was still himself, but a him that was only twelve or thirteen years old.

After walking around, Song Shi saw some familiar faces, but he did not recognize most of them. These people were people who had fled from other places and settled down here.

"Let's go watch a fight between experts!"

"Who's fighting?"

"I heard that it's Iron Hand Song from the Song Family and the consecrator of the Sun family. One is a young expert, and the other is an old famous person. It will be worth watching!"

Suddenly, the street in front of them became chaotic. A group of people shouted and rushed into the distance. It sounded like they wanted to watch a show.

"How gossipy."

Song Shi's gaze flickered as he walked over.

The person who started the fight seemed to be someone with his fourth brother's nickname. If nothing went wrong, they might be able to meet.

It wasn't easy for him to go home, hence he still had to meet with his loved ones. He shouldn't make a wasted trip.

Song Shi's footsteps were light. He looked carefree, but in fact, his speed was faster than some people running. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of a luxurious mansion.

This mansion looked even more imposing than his Song family's manor. There were two ten-foot-tall lions at the door, looking mighty and domineering.

However, at this moment, the head of one of the lions was shattered, and there was an additional palm print. Its position was also lacking in symmetry with the other lion.

Half of the lion's head fell to the ground, and there were a few footprints beside it. They were deeply embedded in the ground, and many of the stone slabs were shattered.

At the side, two figures were fighting quickly. One had a goatee and his feet were like sharp knives. He kicked out at a dazzling speed and occasionally landed on the limestone floor, smashing it into pieces.

Goatee's opponent was a young man in his twenties. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong physique. His kung fu was all concentrated in his dark palms and it collided with his opponent's sharp feet.

The destructive power of the two of them was not small. The area within a hundred feet was in a mess. When they attacked, wind and waves surged, bringing with them a series of whistling sounds.

When Song Shi saw the young man, he grinned, "This guy has actually reached the Connate realm. He's quite impressive. I remember that he hasn't been home for three years."

He recalled some things from three years ago. At that time, he did not see Song Hai's strength. He only heard that Song Hai would not return for a long time.

Now that he had turned from a mortal to a Golden Core cultivator and that he could even easily kill ordinary Golden Cores. This Song Hai, who was originally stronger than him, suddenly looked like he was fighting an old man in slow motion.

Song Hai's entire body was steaming hot, and his hands were dark red, as if they were filled with flames. He could tell at a glance that this was the Iron Sand Palm, also known as the Divine Sand Palm.

This was a cultivation technique that he had once cultivated. He did not expect Song Hai to use this technique to reach the Connate realm.

"The explosive power of the Iron Sand Palm is strong, but his foundation is still a little lacking. If he continue fighting, he will suffer more losses than wins."

Song Shi muttered. Indeed, not long after, Song Hai began to fall into a disadvantageous position.

"Looks like Iron Hand Song can't defeat this expert of the older generation."

"An arm can't win against a thigh. Not to mention a hand, I think the Iron Sand Palm can't win against the Saber Leg."

"What do you know? It's obvious that he's not skilled enough. That is the real reason!"

The onlookers who were hiding outside the aftershock pointed and pointed, making people think that they were the real experts.

When Song Hai heard the discussion, he became anxious and his movements became more and more unstable.

At the door, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe sneered. "Song Hai, you still want to take something of ours? You're not good enough."
