321 Space Compression
The Void around Song Shi solidified, and a terrifying pressure descended. He was once again targeted by the Sky Demon Saint.
Song Shi looked at the Sky Demon Saint with a calm expression. "Are you a dog? Why are you still biting me?"
Thousand Faces, who was following behind, was dumbfounded. This guy actually dared to scold the Demon Saint?
Could it be that he didn't know about the word 'death'?
"This personโฆ is really insane."
Princess Wuxi, who had escaped with the Spirit Guard, said with a strange expression.
"I admire his courage."
The Spirit Guard's face twitched.
Not only did their expressions change when they heard that, even Emperor Qian and everyone present in Great Qian were dumbfounded.
Originally, their hearts were heavy because of the birth of the Demon Saint, and they felt like they were about to be annihilated. Now, they were caught between laughter and tears by Song Shi's words.
"Is this the guy who caused chaos in the Langya Immortal Dao Meeting? He's quite bold. He still dares to provoke us at this time. Does he really think that this is an Immortal Dao Meeting protected by rules?"
When the experts from both sides were looking sideways at Song Shi, the Sky Demon Saint laughed instead.
"Interesting. A mere Demon Emperor dares to be so arrogant. Am I old or are you crazy?"
With a tap of his finger, a demonic light suddenly tore through the Void and pierced through Song Shi.
"His attack power is indeed strong. Not bad."
Song Shi looked satisfied. He was killed again and his corpse fell.
The Sky Demon Saint opened his mouth, and a powerful suction force was released. It wrapped around Song Shi's body, preparing to devour him in one bite.
Just as the food was about to enter his mouth, a strange scene appeared. Song Shi's body suddenly dissipated.
This time, even the Sky Demon Saint was shocked. "Another substitute?"
Swoosh!
Song Shi appeared at the side, unharmed.
He looked at the Sky Demon Saint indifferently. "You'd better behave yourself. When I let you out, you have to be obedient. Be a good dog and don't bite or bark."
Many people widened their eyes and felt like they were struck by lightning.
"Did I hear wrongly? A Nascent Soul cultivator actually called the Demon Saint a dog?"

"Crazy, this is crazy."
"There's actually such an arrogant person in this world. Even if he dies, what he has said is probably enough to leave a dark history much less what he did."
The group of people could not help but complain.
"Very good. It's been a long time since I've met someone like you who deserves to die."
The anger in the Sky Demon Saint's eyes erupted like a volcano.
Swoosh!
He instantly appeared beside Song Shi. He was so fast that Song Shi could only see an afterimage.
Seeing the other party slap him, Song Shi did not back down and punched him back.
The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation condensed on his fist, and his essence, qi, and spirit fused into one, erupting with the most powerful attack.
Boom!
Song Shi's strength shattered like a bubble. He was slapped to the ground, creating a sinkhole.
The terrifying impact caused the entire Imperial City to tremble. Song Shi, who had been heavily injured, realized that his arm was fractured and his joint was dislocated.
The force of the collision shattered his internal organs. Before he could spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, the Sky Demon Saint had already caught up.
"You have pretty tough bones."
With a cold laugh, the Sky Demon Saint crushed Song Shi's neck and lifted his head.
As Song Shi was crushed to death, he grinned and said, "Your dog bones are quite tough. my body is actually not your match."
"Still being stubborn?"
Demonic light erupted from the Sky Demon Saint's hand as the power of spatial severance erupted, slicing Song Shi's Nascent Soul into pieces.
After using his absolute suppressive power to kill Song Shi, the Sky Demon Saint was not in a hurry to eat it this time. He quietly stared at Song Shi's corpse.
Soon, his pupils constricted as he saw Song Shi dissipate with his own eyes. His eyes were deep. After observation, he did not find any clues.
This meant that this person's methods were extremely brilliant. It was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
After waiting for Song Shi to revive, the Sky Demon Saint asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"I'm your master. Are you willing to be my dog?"
Song Shi asked in return, provoking the other party to continue killing him.
"Don't think that you can go against me just because you have the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique."

The Sky Demon Saint grabbed at Song Shi, and a suppressive force descended, freezing Song Shi on the spot.
He didn't kill Song Shi again. Instead, he sealed Song Shi with the power of space and said indifferently, "Back then, when I couldn't kill that fellow either so I chose to seal him. You should enjoy this treatment today."
Song Shi was slightly shocked. This fellow's reaction was so fast. He had chosen to seal him for the third time to deal with him.
Even if he had Ragnarok to temporarily break free from Crowd Control, the other party was very fast. If they really fought, the other party would most likely catch his weakness and restrain him.
He would not use his final trump card for the time being.
With this in mind, Song Shi was not in a hurry to escape. Instead, he carefully sensed the surrounding power. This should be spatial power. As long as one was strong enough, they could control or break it.
"I can use the Void Sutra to cultivate. If I can rely on my own ability to break free from the spatial seal, there will be more room for me to turn around."
When Song Shi was forced to comprehend the Void Sutra, the Sky Demon Saint grabbed at Song Shi with a cold expression. The void twisted, and Song Shi seemed to shrink.
In the blink of an eye, Song Shi had become the size of a doll. In the end, he shrank into a bead and was casually put away.
"Spatial compression. This devil's ability is above average even in the Void Refinement Realm."
When Princess Wu Xi saw the Sky Demon Saint's methods, she thought of the description in the ancient books and her heart sank.
Emperor Qian did not make a move. He stared at the aggressive Sky Demon Saint. "You have already been suppressed for more than ten thousand years. This world has already declined even more. I suggest you go back. There's no need to fight to be a king in a remote place like ours."
"Do you have the right to say such things to me?"
The Sky Demon Saint walked over with a cold expression. "You're only fit to be used as food. Coincidentally, what I ate down there just now were all low-grade goods. A high-grade good like you should taste much better."
"Food?"
Emperor Qian muttered, "Today, I'll let you see how a person who's only worthy of being food can kill a Demon Saint like you."
"Form the battle formation and slay the demons!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soaring sound erupted from the surroundings.
"Yes!"
At some point in time, one hundred thousand troops had already gathered nearby. After Emperor Qian gave the order, the morale of the army soared. Dragon qi soared in all directions like rivers converging, fusing into a black dragon that reached the sky.
The power of the one hundred thousand-strong army converged into one, shaking the heavens and earth. Its majestic aura made the Sky Demon Saint, narrow his eyes slightly.
Emperor Qian landed on the dragon's head in a flash, and the black dragon instantly seemed to come alive. A pair of golden lights erupted from its eyes, and it immediately swam towards the Sky Demon Saint.
"No matter how many ants there are, they're still ants!"
The Sky Demon Saint was disdainful. His sharp nails shone with a demonic light as he raised his hand and slashed viciously. Space suddenly split into two.
The cracked space was even more terrifying than the sharpest spiritual sword. It directly cut open the black dragon above its head. Emperor Qian trembled violently and was instantly pushed back.
The black dragon formed by the fusion of the army trembled. When it was still a hundred feet away from the Sky Demon Saint, it collapsed and shattered into pieces.
"Pfft!"
Emperor Qian spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the injuries on his body. This situation was unimaginable.
Just now, he had saw that the Blood-Robed old ghost was fine even after provoking this fiend casually. Why couldn't he block even a single move from this fiend even after mobilizing the strength of a hundred thousand troops?

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness. This Demon Saint was clearly weakened to the extreme, but the gap between him and this Demon Saint was still like a chasm.
There was only a major realm difference between the Soul Transformation realm and the Void Refinement realm. Was the difference so great that even the strength of an army of one hundred thousand could not make up for it?
Wu Xi's eyes were like the sun. She saw through the reason why the joint attack had failed.
"The quantitative change can't cover up the qualitative difference. Most importantly, the method he used to cut through space is not something that any power below the Void Refinement Realm can stop."
She sighed in her heart. How much power in this world could withstand the power of space? How many things could withstand the spatial cracks?
At least for now, no one could contend with him, not even a strange existence like Song Shi.
At the thought of this, she looked at the Sky Demon Saint's sleeve. This fellow had been rubbed away like a ball. She did not know if he could escape.
Compared to Wuxi who could still think calmly, many people in Great Qian were already scared out of their wits.
In the army, some people kept vomiting blood from the backlash. There were many people with fearful expressions, and their morale had already wavered.
On the other hand, the Sky Demon Cult's side had a complacent expression, as if they were holding their heads high. There were even some supporters who were fantasizing about destroying the entire Imperial City today and letting the Sky Demon Cult make the decision.
Facing the terrified gazes, the Sky Demon Saint laughed disdainfully. "Ants are ants. They are only worthy of becoming food."
He opened his mouth and sucked. The demonic light turned into a pitch-black mouth. The suction force formed a black whirlwind that swept many people into his mouth.
"Ah!"
"I don't want to be eaten!"
Those who were sucked in were all cultivators. They usually had some status, but at this moment, they were screaming in fear. Their souls were sucked out of their bodies, and they didn't have any pride left.
Just as the Sky Demon Saint was about to take advantage of these people being scared out of their wits to eat to his heart's content, a burst of flames suddenly erupted from his waist.
Amidst the flames, there was a faint sword hum echoing. A sharp, scorching power that was filled with explosive power suddenly appeared.
The Sky Demon Saint's expression changed drastically as disbelief appeared in his eyes. It was already too late to dodge, because the attack had exploded right beside his body.
A crack appeared in space. Song Shi stabbed out with his sword with all his might. His entire body transformed into a fire sword that was unstoppable.
Puchi!
The Sky Demon Saint's body trembled violently as his heart was pierced through by the flaming sword. Song Shi held a spirit sword and shot out from behind him covered in black blood. The Sword Qi and Supreme Yang True Fire in his body had already been exhausted.
Song Shi landed a thousand feet away. He was sweating profusely as he cursed, "This guy's Defense is really strong. I'm already so tired from a full-strength sneak attack."
His dissatisfaction was clear as day. At this moment, everyone was staring blankly at the severely injured Sky Demon Saint. The surroundings were strangely quiet.
If people in this world cursed, everyone would be cursing their heads off right now.
A second ago, the Sky Demon Saint had slashed open the Void with a single strike, breaking the combined attack of the two Qian Emperor cultivators. Demonic flames soared into the sky, dominating everything.
Yet at this moment, just a few minutes later, he was seriously injured by a low-level cultivator who had already been sealed!
No matter how long the people present had lived, they had never seen such a role reversal.
This was especially true for those who were about to be eaten by the Sky Demon Saint. As they survived the calamity, they all became extremely grateful to Song Shi.
"He actually injured the Demon Saintโฆ."
Wu Xi's gaze landed on Song Shi and she could not look away for a moment.
Not to mention the others, even the Sky Demon Saint looked down at his chest in a daze. The hole was a little charred, and some purple-black blood was flowing out. It was as if he was mocking him for being injured by his prey.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? My Fire Sword tastes good, right?"
Song Shi grinned smugly.
This time, he really had to show off. After all, he had crossed two major realms and injured this fellow despite being sealed.
"Let me explain the principle to you. My sword is very sharp and a sword with flames is even sharper. Hence it was easy to break through your demon body."
Song Shi deliberately postured.
The Sky Demon Saint's eyes were dark as he turned to glare fiercely at Song Shi. "Good, very good. I didn't expect you to be able to break through the spatial seal."
He wanted to rush out, but his body trembled and his aura suddenly began to weaken.
His pupils constricted as he realized that his condition was deteriorating.
He was originally at the end of his rope. Even though his subordinates had brought him strength to replenish and he had eaten a few Nascent Souls, he had already exhausted more than half of his strength from escaping to fighting this fellow.
This was especially true when he fought against the army of cultivators. It seemed like he had easily destroyed the joint attack, but in fact, he had spent the most energy. As a result, he did not have much strength to block this person's sneak attack just now.
At the end of the day, he was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He originally thought that he had already frightened these ants and could have a full meal, but he was actually interrupted by this person.
How could he not be angry?
The anger in his heart could not help but burn fiercely. For the first time, he erupted with biting cold killing intent.
"Aiyo, Don't be angry. Come and hit me."
Song Shi could tell that the Sky Demon Saint was not in a good state, so he continued to provoke him.
"Die for me."
The Sky Demon Saint flew into a rage out of humiliation. His physical body was injured, so he did not continue to attack in close combat. Instead, he swiped with his claw, and three spatial cracks appeared.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
Song Shi was cut into three pieces, and even his Nascent Soul soul was cut into pieces by the spatial power.
After forcefully mobilizing his strength, the Sky Demon Saint's body swayed and his condition worsened.
Emperor Qian's eyes lit up as he saw an opportunity.
"Eight groups, listen up. Form the Asura Killing Formation!"
Killing intent instantly soared into the sky and gathered towards Emperor Qian. The world turned blood-red, as if it had turned into an Asura Battlefield.
"Senior Demon Saint!"
Demon Venerable Yu Hua's expression changed, "Should we retreat first?"
Before he could reply, flames appeared behind the Sky Demon Saint's back again. With a puff, a bloody hole appeared.
It turned out that Song Shi had chosen to revive behind the Sky Demon Saint and had taken the opportunity to launch another sneak attack.
This time, because the Sky Demon Saint's condition was even worse, it was much easier for Song Shi to penetrate his body.
"You!"
The Sky Demon Saint spat out a large mouthful of blood. He did not expect Song Shi to do it again. n0๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐.๐ช0๐
"I'm a little obsessive-compulsive. Seeing that you're too lonely with only one bloody hole, I might as well give you another one."
Song Shi smiled and looked at the two bloody holes on the Sky Demon Saint's left and right. "Look, how symmetrical is it now? It's simply perfect."
Ignoring the Sky Demon Saint's unsightly expression, Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. "Where's your heart? Why didn't I destroy it no matter how hard I tried? Could it be in the middle?"
"Piss off!"
An angry shout exploded. Demonic flames danced beside Song Shi as a sharp claw with destructive power grabbed the top of his head.
Song Shi counterattacked. With a bang, he was only knocked back but was not injured.
The person who attacked was not the Sky Demon Saint who looked like he was about to die, but Demon Venerable Yu Hua. He appeared beside the Sky Demon Saint in a flash and stared at Song Shi in surprise.
He did not expect this person to be so strong that he could withstand his full-powered attack so easily. No wonder he could injure the Demon Saint.
"Blood-Robed old ghost, are you still a member of the Demonic Cults? How dare you hurt the Demon Saint!"
Faced with the question, Song Shi said calmly, "I'm sorry, but even if I'm from a Demonic Cult, I'm not from your Sky Demon Cult. I'm not interested in watching this Demon Saint eat people."

323 Role Reversal
"Haha, Blood-Robed old ghost, not bad."
Emperor Qian laughed loudly. Terrifying killing power gathered on the Spear in his hand, causing the sun and moon to change color. The power of heaven and earth boiled and the Void distorted continuously.
"Sky Demon Saint, so what if you escaped? Today will be your death day."
Amidst his laughter, Emperor Qian's eyes were filled with killing intent. He was prepared to personally get rid of this demon. At that time, he would definitely leave his legacy in history.
Heaven and earth shook. The morale of the Great Qian army soared as they prepared to kill the demon.
No one from Sky Demon Cult could laugh anymore, as their expressions froze.
Who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly? They had not been in the limelight for long, but they had already been almost defeated.
"Demon Saint, the situation is not good. We have to leave!"
Demon Venerable Yu Hua said in a deep voice. The Sky Demon Saint had just escaped and was not in a good state. He did not plan to stay long to begin with, and now that he had suffered a huge loss, he could not stay any longer.
"Blood-Robed old ghost, right? I'll remember you!"
The Sky Demon Saint covered his wound and glared at Song Shi with hatred. "I will definitely annihilate your entire clan, eat your flesh, and eat your soul!"
"Aiya, I'm so scared."
Song Shi patted his chest and said slyly, "You should use your other hand to cover the bloody hole on your right so that it's symmetrical."
The Sky Demon Saint's hair instantly stood on end. He had never suffered such humiliation before. If not for the fact that his condition was really too terrible, he really wanted to immediately crush this despicable human.
Boom!
In the sky, a blood-colored Spear had finished condensing and was charging at him with a rumbling sound.
The Sky Demon Saint's expression changed slightly. Just now, he had been able to break through the joint attack. Now, facing this even more powerful attack, he was already powerless.
"Let's go."
He tore through the Void and left without caring about anyone.
Demon Venerable Yu Hua followed closely behind. As for the others, they could only rely on their own abilities.
Boom!
The blood-colored Spear was huge. When it struck the spot where the two of them were, it shattered the space. The ground was like paper. After being stabbed, soil spread in all directions like a tsunami.
Song Shi retreated ten thousand feet with a single step to avoid the aftershock. He frowned as he looked at the attack.
"It's stronger than the black dragon they condensed just now. I guess they still has some trump cards."
The chaotic storm continued to spread. In the distance, some buildings that were originally shattered were directly reduced to dust. The Illuminate swept out, and a radius of ten thousand feet was razed to the ground!
From the sky, one could see that the city wall beside the Heavenly Prison had already disappeared, and a considerable portion of the Imperial City had been destroyed.
In the center of the energy storm, more cracks appeared in the cracked space after being hit. However, in the depths of the pitch-black Void, there were no longer two demons.
He did not give chase. Not to mention the Sky Demon Cult's powerhouses, he had just used Ragnarok to escape. If he chased after him, he would not be able to kill the Sky Demon Saint and would instead be trapped.
After the surrounding one hundred thousand soldiers released their power in this round of attacks, many people collapsed and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Clearly, it was difficult for them to launch a third attack in a short period of time. n0๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ท.๐ฌ0๐
"Let's go!"
"It's over. We have to wait for the Demon Saint to recover."
The people of Sky Demon Cult were flustered and used all sorts of methods to escape, scattering like birds and beasts.
They were all in charge of their own escape and did not have any rules to follow. It looked rather chaotic.
In fact, most of the people from the Demonic Sect were cold-hearted. They would not help each other to escape. Instead, they would compete to see who could escape faster.
Those who were slow would naturally be at a disadvantage. No one would pity them even if they died.
Fortunately, the army of cultivators from Great Qian did not have much strength to chase after the Sky Demon Cult cultivators. It was difficult to effectively stop these people from leaving.
Swoosh!
A beam of light passed through and Emperor Qian landed in the center of the storm. His expression was not good.
He stared at the spatial rift. "He ran away, dammit!"
"He can easily tear open space and leave. You want to kill him with your stupid attack?"
Song Shi pursed his lips. If his Divine Teleportation Footwork is considered to be only borrowing the power of space, then what Sky Demon Saint was doing would be to directly use the power of space. Unless he had similar means, there was no way he could catch up.
At the very least, the powerful but inflexible attack just now was useless. It only destroyed more buildings.
He glanced at the broken ground and said, "You should be in charge of washing the ground."
Emperor Qian looked at Song Shi coldly. "Why are you here?"
He did not have the time to understand the situation and did not know that Song Shi was related to the Demon Saint's escape.
"You captured my maid. If I don't come over, wouldn't I be letting down your arrangements?"
Song Shi sneered. He really did not feel much guilt for releasing the Sky Demon Saint this time. If not for the schemes of the people from Great Qian, this would not have happened.
At the very least, he would not feel guilty towards the Qian royal family. At most, they would feel embarrassed that they implicated the innocent.
Emperor Qian frowned and stared at Song Shi fearfully.
When he thought about how this person was unscathed from Demon Venerable Yu Hua's attack and could even sneak attack the Sky Demon Saint, he could no longer be as domineering as before.
This person's strength was probably not weaker than his and he had never been able to kill him. If he had a choice, he did not want to be enemies with him.
Just as he was about to change his words, a Spirit Guard flew over and reported, "Your Majesty, he was the one who helped Sky Demon Cult save Demon Saint."
"What!"
Emperor Qian's expression was ugly. "So you're the culprit?"
"It wasn't me. If I had saved him, would I have fought him? Injured him badly? Almost gave you a chance to finish him off?"
Song Shi directly denied it. He did not want to take the blame, so it was better to get rid of it.
"Nonsense. In the Heavenly Prison, you said that you would help Thousand Faces infiltrate the last level of the Heavenly Prison."
The Spirit Guard retorted.
"I didn't say that I'm only here to save my maid. Your internal management isn't strict enough and you're blaming me for letting Sky Demon Cult infiltrate?"
Song Shi sneered, refusing to admit it at all. He questioned the others, "Let me ask you, if I really helped the Sky Demon Saint escape, would I have nearly killed him?"
The surrounding people nodded and shook their heads. They were originally prepared to be angry that this Blood-Robed old ghost was actually an accomplice of the Sky Demon Cult, but now, they felt that it didn't seem like it.
After all, they had indeed seen the Sky Demon Saint almost fight to the death with their own eyes.
Especially the person that Song Shi had saved from the Sky Demon Saint's mouth, he was speaking up for him.
"Senior Blood Robes couldn't have saved the demon then want to kill him. Isn't that stupid?"
"In this matter, the Blood-Robed old ghost is definitely a good person."
"That's right. If it wasn't for him, many of us would have been eaten by that Demon Saint."
The Spirit Guard was infuriated when he heard that. How did this fellow reverse his role so fast?
"Enough, this is a misunderstanding. He's here to save the maidservant and just happened to bump into Sky Demon Cult rescuing that Demon Saint."
Princess Wu Xi walked over. "Not only that, he even helped us. If not for him severely injuring the Sky Demon Saint, that demon would most likely still be behaving atrociously here."
"Princess, you?" The Spirit Guard's expression changed. He did not expect Princess Wuxi to speak up for him.
Emperor Qian waved his hand and looked deeply at Song Shi. "You guys can leave first. This matter will end here. Since you have made a move at such a critical moment, Great Qian has announced that we will no longer be enemies with you."
Song Shi looked satisfied and praised, "As expected of the ruler of a country. You're still quite bold. Wuxi, you're even better."
Song Shi could fight the Qian, but he didn't want to be a traitor to the entire human race. So he had to distort the truth and he definitely had the right to do so.

His words were basically submissive. He did not want to fight with Song Shi anymore. They were not in the mood to fight now. The greatest threat was still the Sky Demon Saint.
Once it recovered its strength and made a comeback, they would not have any way to deal with it for the time being.
At this moment, no one would benefit if they fought with the Blood-Robed old ghost.
Moreover, the Blood-Robed old ghost's abilities were strange. If they could cooperate, they might be able to have another capable helper next time.
Based on these considerations, he tacitly agreed with the truth that the other party had distorted and did not want to push this person to the opposite side.
"Emperor Qian is wise."
Song Shi was very satisfied and felt a sense of accomplishment.
In his opinion, using actions and words to successfully get rid of this giant blame was more interesting than leaving two bloody holes for the Sky Demon Saint.
Perhaps this was the true essence of cultivation. As long as he wanted to, he could change everything that was unfavorable to him.
What's the big deal about dumping the blame?
The Spirit Guard's expression changed. He was not stupid. After realizing these problems, he immediately retreated obediently.
Song Shi did not pursue the matter. He chuckled and said, "In the future, as long as you don't provoke me, everything will be fine. You can even ask me to kill that Demon Saint."
"If Young Master Song can really get rid of the Demon Saint, I, Wuxi, will marry you."
Princess Wu Xi took a step forward and spoke shockingly again.
She could tell that this person's ability was quite effective against the Sky Demon Saint. She was willing to sacrifice herself to win the other party's cooperation.
Song Shi looked at her from the corner of his eye and looked at her with admiration.
How many women were willing to sacrifice the rest of their lives in exchange for good of the people?
Since the other party dared to speak, it could be seen how bold and broad-minded she was.
He smiled. "I've never rejected a beautiful woman throwing herself at me. You should prepare to get married then."
"Then it's a deal. If Young Master can kill the Sky Demon Saint, you'll be an existence like a new Saint in this world. It's my honor to be able to marry you."
Wu Xi smiled brightly. Her eyes were clear and calm, with sincerity. She did not seem to be lying.
Emperor Qian did not say anything. At this moment, someone needed to ease the relationship between the two sides. Marriage was a common method.
Moreover, his daughter was not stupid enough to marry this old ghost for free. Instead, she had set an especially high condition.
Kill the Sky Demon Saint!
This was an extremely difficult task for him. It might even be impossible. Even if he refined Numinous treasures, there was not much hope.
He did not think that the Blood-Robed old ghost could do it. Although the other party had injured the Sky Demon Saint today, that was because the Sky Demon Saint was already at the end of his rope and had less than ten per cent of his strength left.
If the other party had recovered to his peak, no one in this world would have been able to kill him. It would be good enough if they could protect himself.
Because of this, he tacitly agreed to this agreement.
The others also thought that this was a joke. The Sky Demon Saint was an existence on the level of an ancient Saint. How could he be so easy to kill?
"Wuxi, I like it when you call me Young Master. Everyone else, remember to call me Young Master in the future. Don't f*cking call me Blood-Robed old ghost anymore. I'm the reincarnation of an immortal, not some bullsh*t Blood-Robed old ghost. I've already killed him."
Song Shi's words were shocking. He directly denied the identity that he had used for a long time.
"Reincarnation of an immortal?"
Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes. If these words were true, then this person's various unbelievable abilities were much more reasonable.
Everyone's expressions changed as they looked at Song Shi.
Previously, in their impression, he was a demon who committed all kinds of evil and used all kinds of methods. He was the kind of person who was hated by everyone.
Now that he had the identity of a reincarnated Immortal, he instantly felt much brighter and more majestic. It was as if all the rumors from before had become positive.
"So the Blood-Robed old ghost did not possess him but died in his hands."
"That's most likely the case. I've seen Blood-Robed old ghost before, but he definitely wasn't so bold."
"If it's really the Blood-Robed old ghost, he definitely wouldn't have attacked under the circumstances just now. Instead, he would have submitted to the Sky Demon Saint."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Song Shi's Subtlety noticed that everyone's opinions were changing. He secretly praised himself for being good at bullshitting.
He felt that if he seized the opportunity today, he would be able to change the negative effects that the Blood-Robed old ghost identity had brought to him. He struck while the iron was hot. "If you really want to address me respectfully, please call me Immortal Lord."
Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes. "This is your true identity, right?"
"You can think whatever you want. From now on, the title Blood-Robed old ghost will completely disappear. There will only be Young Master Song, Elder Song, and the Immortal Lord."
With his hands behind his back, Song Shi turned around and walked into the distance. The crowd behind him whispered to each other and gradually became rowdy.
"What do you mean? Why isn't he called Blood-Robed old ghost anymore?"
"Didn't you hear him say that he's the reincarnation of an immortal and not the Blood-Robed old ghost, so he gave himself a new title called Perfected Immortal Lord?"
"This title is indeed much more domineering than the Blood-Robed old ghost. I would choose this too."
On the ruins, many cultivators watched Song Shi leave. Some admired him, while others had complicated expressions.
They knew that from today onwards, the names of Young Master Song and the Immortal Perfected Lord would resound throughout the continent and the Blood-Robed old ghost would become a thing of the past.
Song Shi left the Imperial City in a few steps and turned around to take a look. He muttered to himself, "Don't worry, the trouble that I've released will be resolved sooner or later. Sky Demon Saint, if you know what's good for you, scram back. If you want to wreak havoc in my hometown, I don't mind exhausting you to death."
With that said, Song Shi took out the flying ship and prepared to meet up with Bai Xiaoqin and the others.
On the way, he discovered a group of cultivators rushing to the Imperial City. When they saw the figure among them, they hurriedly stopped.
He used Divine Teleportation Footwork and arrived in front of the team in the blink of an eye.
"Who?"
The Zenith Heaven Sword King, who was traveling with all his might, sensed the danger. He shouted and stopped warily.
Seeing that it was Song Shi, some information echoed in his mind, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Not long ago, this person did not pose much of a threat to him, but now, facing him, his soul could not help but tremble.
"Don't be nervous. I don't mean any harm."
Song Shi shook his head. When he saw the Zenith Heaven Sword King, he felt a little emotional. Back in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range, this person's sword tore through the sky and felt exceptionally domineering and powerful.
Now, in such a short period of time, the other party was not even qualified to be his opponent.
He looked at a heroic woman with an otherworldly temperament in the team. "I'm here to return your Sword today."
As he spoke, he took out his spiritual sword and threw it to Chen Yiling, who was in a daze.
"You're giving it back to me?"
Chen Yiling felt that it was a little unreal. Back then, when her sword was snatched away by this guy, she thought that she would never be able to get it back.
"Your Sword has helped me a few times. It's quite useful. This is a reward for letting me use it."
Song Shi threw out a storage ring with some cultivation resources inside. "See you again."
With that, his figure suddenly disappeared. If not for the echoing voice, one would have thought that he had never appeared.
Chen Yiling held the storage ring and the spiritual sword in a daze. She felt the temperature on it and for some reason, she felt a little disappointed.
Zheng zheng!
The spiritual sword hummed softly. She did not know if it was reluctant to part with Song Shi, the temporary user, or comforting its true owner.
After confirming that Song Shi had left, the Zenith Heaven Sword King heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder how the Imperial City is. It's probably too late for us to rush back."
Suddenly, the token on his waist lit up and a message came. After receiving it, he looked up in shock. "The city is actually safe for the time being. Moreover, this person's name is Young Master Song and Immortal Perfected Lord. He's not the Blood-Robed old ghost?"n0๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐ช

Outside White Snake Cave, two graceful women were taking a stroll.
One of them was voluptuous and charming, with a graceful figure. She was dressed in white and exuded an immortal aura and demonic qi. She was especially enchanting. She was the Demon Venerable Bai Yu'er.
One of them was tall and slender, and her eyes were like autumn water. She was also dressed in white, and her aura was cold and ethereal. She was the Ghost Spirit, Bai Xiaoqin.
"Sister Qin, stay with me in peace first. Young Master will definitely be fine. Don't worry too much."
Bai Yu'er held Bai Xiaoqin's hand and they looked like sisters. It was hard to imagine the huge difference in their cultivation levels.
"Sister Yu, is Elder staying here during this period of time?"
Bai Xiaoqin appeared curious, but she was actually testing the relationship between the two.
"He did live here for a while. Sister, don't think too much. Young Master probably felt that it was safer here, so he asked me to bring you over."
Just as Bai Yu'er said this, she raised her head in shock. A golden sword light tore through the sky. After realizing who it was, she smiled and said, "Young Master, you're back so soon?"
In reality, she had just left with Bai Xiaoqin when the Sky Demon Saint had escaped. The battle had not taken too much time.
"Hm, after I got away, I immediately went this way. I should have given you a Communication Talisman, so that there was no need to run around"
Song Shi's voice came from the sword beam. He landed on the ground and a handsome man walked out.
His temperament was masculine. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His muscles and bones carried divine light, making him look spiritual and otherworldly. His entire body seemed to have fused with heaven and earth, carrying a unique charm.
Bai Xiaoqin was dazzled. This was her man. He was too outstanding.
Song Shi opened his arms. "Xiaoqin, come and hug me."
The latter blushed and ran over lightly. She happily bumped into Song Shi's arms and said shyly, "Elder."
"You don't have to pretend anymore in the future. The way you address me as Elder is a little old-fashioned. Call me husband in the future."
Song Shi said. Previously, when he was in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he had used the identity of the Blood-Robed old ghost. In order to deceive others, he had asked Bai Xiaoqin to disguise herself as a maid, now there was no need for her to call him Elder in the future.
"Husbandโฆ Husband."
Bai Xiaoqin buried her head in Song Shi's arms. She was really embarrassed.
Song Shi lowered his head and looked at Bai Xiaoqin. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. This is how the first woman he liked should be like. Although she was not alive, he was very satisfied.
"My old man has good taste. Now that my identity can be revealed, let me bring my wife home."
Thinking of the old man who had arranged an engagement for him with Bai Xiaoqin, Song Shi wanted to visit him for the first time.
Bai Yu'er was envious and boldly asked, "Young Master, can I call you husband too?"
"Not yet. You're not qualified enough. When you get pregnant one day, I'll give you the status of a concubine."
Song Shi refused without hesitation. In his heart, Bai Yu'er was not even comparable to Liu Ruxue.
"I will definitely work hard."
Bai Yu'er was not angry. She knew that her situation was special, unlike Bai Xiaoqin who had her parents' orders and had an arranged marriage with Song Shi.
As long as Song Shi gave her a chance.
She changed the topic, "Young Master, I got the children to prepare good wine and spiritual fruits. Rest first."
"Yes, let's rest for half a day, then let's go home and visit our relatives."
Song Shi hugged Bai Xiaoqin's waist. The latter was as light as a feather. It was not that she was thin and weak, but her soul was very light.
He estimated that Bai Xiaoqin weighed less than half a tael and could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Husband, are we going back to Silken City?" Bai Xiaoqin leaned against Song Shi's chest and asked.
"Yes, you're my wife. I have to bring you to meet your family."
Song Shi nodded.
"What do I have to prepare?"
Bai Xiaoqin immediately became nervous.
"What's there to prepare? Go back and walk around. Just get to know my family."
Song Shi chuckled and came to the underground palace. The Snake Clan's maidservants had already prepared a table of fine wine and precious fruits. He casually grabbed a fruit and tasted it, feeling exceptionally satisfied.
If not for the Sky Demon Saint, he would already be able to do whatever he wanted in this world. Before the Sky Demon Saint recovered, he did not need to care too much. He could just play to his heart's content.
"Xiao Qin, I'll give you a piece of clothing."
Song Shi took out the Dust Avoiding Robe that he had drawn. These special Dharma artifacts were just right for Bai Xiaoqin's level.
For example, he was now using Nomological power to change his clothes. Ordinary Daoist robes could not withstand intense battles.
"Thank you, husband."
Bai Xiaoqin couldn't bear to put it on. She realized that the clothes could change color and style at will, so she immediately changed it into a white gauze dress, looking pure and beautiful.
While Song Shi was resting, he had nothing to do. He opened the lucky draw panel and drew the remaining two draws from the previous ten consecutive draws.
He still had dozens of lucky draw chances, but he did not use them casually. The main reason was that he did not lack anything.
Most importantly, he felt that the grade of the item he drew would increase with his strength. He had not drawn it after advancing to the Nascent Soul realm. He wanted to try and see if there was anything good.
'Dingโฆ Congratulations on drawing 100 high-grade soul stones.
Dingโฆ congratulations on drawing the Ethereal Sword God Technique!
The two items were not ordinary, so Song Shi checked them with interest.
Soul Stones: Special cultivation resources similar to spirit stones. They are produced in special worlds like the Netherworld Realm. They are specially used to cultivate the power of the soul.
Song Shi looked surprised.
This was the first time he had encountered a treasure that could be directly used to cultivate the soul. The power of the soul was Spiritual strength. Usually, when one's Spiritual strength was strong, other than devouring other people's souls, the only way was through Qi Refinement and Soul Transformation.
Now that he had additional resources to assist him, not to mention that it would be much easier for him to break through to the Soul Transformation realm, even Bai Xiaoqin could obtain benefits.
He looked at the next item.
Ethereal Sword God Technique: The method to become a god with sword intent. After cultivating it, one can condense sword intent into a sword soul. In the end, sword intent can become a god. A sword intent can destroy gods.
Song Shi was shocked. This was actually a sword intent cultivation method, and it was even systematic. It was unlike the inheritance left behind by the ancient Sword Sage who had only figured out this path.
"Good stuff. From now on, my three legs can walk together."
He was pleasantly surprised. Humans had essence, qi, and spirit. Essence represented the physique, and qi represented cultivation. The spirit was the soul and primordial spirit. It corresponded to the three paths of body refinement, Qi Refinement, and spirit refinement.
There were cultivation techniques like the Imperishable Golden Body and the Acalanฤtha Body for body tempering, the Pure Yang Scripture for Qi Refinement, and the Nine Yang Divine Technique for Essence Qi. These were all top cultivation techniques.
In comparison, the Yin Visualization, which cultivated the power of the soul, seemed to be a little backward at this moment. It was lacking a cultivation technique.
"It feels so good to cultivate with the soul stone."
Song Shi directly took out the item. The Ethereal Sword God Technique turned into information and surged into his mind. The Soul Stone was a purple-black stone with a mysterious aura.
When Bai Xiaoqin saw this, although she did not know what it was, she instinctively felt a desire for it.
"I'll give you ten. You can absorb them when you cultivate." n0๐ฝ๐พ๐ ๐ข๐๐.๐ 0๐
Song Shi immediately took out a portion for Bai Xiaoqin. This soul stone was high-grade and contained a majestic energy. It was enough for Bai Xiaoqin to use for a long time.
"Young Master, could this be a soul stone? I heard that it's extremely beneficial to Soul Transformation cultivators."
Bai Yu'er was knowledgeable and actually recognized it. The more she looked at it, the more shocked she became. "Isn't this thing almost extinct? Young Master can actually take out so many. It's too amazing."

326 Fraud
"Take 10 to cultivate too."
Song Shi gave out another ten as a reward for Bai Yu'er's work during this period.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Bai Yu'er accepted it happily and could not bear to part with it. "One of these things is very beneficial to Soul Transformation cultivators. Although I cultivate the demon body and don't value the primordial spirit, it's still very beneficial."
Song Shi nodded and returned his attention to the lottery.
"12 consecutive draws."
Song Shi was not in a hurry to cultivate the Ethereal Sword God Technique. Instead, he chose to draw again.
Dingโฆ congratulations on drawing Floating Cloud Carpet!
"Dingโฆ congratulations on drawing the Supreme Sword!"
"Dingโฆ congratulations on drawingโฆ supreme-grade spirit stoneโฆ Evil-Slaying Eyeโฆ Red Cloud Cauldron, Evergreen Pill, All Saints Medicine Manual, Kun Peng True Feather, Heavenly Yin Wood, Flowing Light Jade, Divine Transformation Technique, Black Tortoise Armor!"
A series of treasures were extracted. After Song Shi understood them, he was even more satisfied.
This time, many of them were treasures above the Spirit Grade or high-level spells and divine powers. He felt that he would not be able to use them all in a short period of time.
"There are too many good things, so I won't draw anymore."
Song Shi realized that he was no longer interested in the lottery. Perhaps this was the frustration of not being able to die.
He ate some food and began to cultivate.
A few days later, a white cloud flew up from the ground and merged with the clouds in the sky.
Song Shi lay on a special cushion that was as soft as a white cloud. He hugged two beauties with a look of enjoyment.
This was the floating cloud blanket he had just drawn. It was a special flying Dharma treasure. It looked like a white cloud and could float with the white cloud. It was quite comfortable to sit up.
Song Shi lay down comfortably all the way to the Qian Nation from the snake tribe's territory. He thought about how the old man seemed to be in Jinzhou which happened to be on his way, so he decided to go over and take a look.
"I forgot to ask Fourth Brother where they live. They should be in the state capitalโฆ"
When they arrived at Jinzhou, Song Shi remembered that he did not know the exact location. He came to the prefecture residence with the thought of walking around casually.
Song Shi reverted to his young master form and descended from the sky. The two girls followed beside him and they instantly became a beautiful 'sight'.
Passers-by looked at them enviously. Many of them were peeking at the two beauties. Song Shi was used to it. After entering the city, a prosperous scene greeted him.
The streets were filled with carriages, horses, and people. Many vendors were enthusiastically hawking their wares.
Bai Xiaoqin had not been to the city area for a long time. Her big eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Let's go around."
Song Shi walked to a stall and browsed through the goods curiously. He sized up a gadget and said, "Boss, are there any rich families with the surname Song in this city?"
"Song?"
The boss sitting on the horse stroked his chin and pondered. "No, I've only heard of a big family with the surname Ye, Li, and Chen."
"No?"
Feeling a little regretful, Song Shi waved his hand at Bai Yu'er. "Go and investigate if there are any officials called Song Hu."
"Yes."
After Bai Yu'er answered, she silently disappeared into the crowd.
Song Shi and Bai Xiaoqin began to eat, drink, and have fun. Half a day later, when they arrived at a luxurious restaurant, Bai Yu'er returned.
"Young Master, we haven't found any officials with the surname Song."
"No?"
Song Shi frowned. "He probably changed locations. Let's get someone else to investigate later."
"However, I noticed that something strange happened in Jinzhou along the way."
Bai Yu'er casually said, "Recently, many people have mysteriously gone missing. It seems to be related to the Demon Cult."
When Song Shi heard this, he poured a glass of wine and drank it. "What do you think?"
"Basically, it's related to the Sky Demon Cult. Young Master, didn't you say that the Sky Demon Saint of the Sky Demon Cult had escaped? I suspect that their disappearance has something to do with this."
Bai Yu'er voiced her thoughts.
Song Shi frowned. If this matter involved the Sky Demon Saint, then it would really have something to do with him.
"Those who went missing are not ordinary people. At the very least, they are strong and there is no lack of cultivators that has disappeared."
Bai Yu'er sent another message.
"Yeah, I got it. I'll give you some other information. Investigate some more."
Song Shi was not in a hurry to express his stance. Whether this matter had anything to do with the Sky Demon Saint would have to wait and see.
"Yes, Young Master."
Bai Yu'er left again, making Bai Xiaoqin feel a little embarrassed. She did not do anything.
"Young Master, should I help investigate?"
Bai Xiaoqin took the initiative to volunteer. She did not want to just eat, drink, and have fun here. There was no value to her like this.
"You're not familiar with this place. You don't have to."
Song Shi shook his head. "I usually let her go. I don't need my main mistress to do such errands."
Bai Xiaoqin revealed a happy expression and gently refilled Song Shi's cup.
Song Shi looked outside and muttered in his heart, "I was the one who released that old fart. I can't feel at ease if he really eats people on a large scale."
This time, not long after, Bai Yu'er rushed back. "Young Master, bad news. The person you found happens to be among the missing people. He must be in a dangerous state now."
"There's such a thingโฆ"
Song Shi asked, "The missing person is called Song Wan?"
"Yes, after investigating according to the information Young Master gave me, I discovered that the Song Hu you're looking for is the Li family's live-in son-in-law."
Bai Yu'er smiled bitterly. "After he married over, he changed his surname and name to Li Gu. Therefore, when you first asked me to investigate officials with the surname Song, I didn't manage to find out. This information was still based on finding out about Song Wan and another woman called Song Jia that I realized he was the person Young Master was looking for."
When Song Shi heard this, he was basically certain that this group of people was the old man and the others who had left Jinzhou to take refuge. They had actually become mysterious missing people.
Thinking of this, Song Shi was speechless. Was he accidentally affecting his own people?
He accidentally released an old demon in the Imperial City and actually affected his father, who was thousands of miles away?
What a scam.
"Maybe it's just the Sky Demon Cult catching people for something. It might not have anything to do with the Sky Demon Saint." n0๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐ช
Bai Yu'er comforted him.
"When did they get caught?"
Song Shi had no choice but to investigate.
"Yesterday. This just happened. The impact shouldn't be that big yet."
Bai Yu'er replied.
"Hehe, I just injured that guy and Sky Demon Cult is already secretly capturing people. I can't help but overthink."
Song Shi stood up. "I originally wanted to rest for a few days to save the family. Looks like I have to change my plans. Let's go and find them quickly. Otherwise, I won't be able to see them and I'll have to do something for them."
"Young Master, follow me. The Li family is in the east of the city."
Bai Yu'er knew that the matter was urgent and quickly led the way for Song Shi.
She had just understood the situation and did not know the specific clues, so she could only bring Song Shi to investigate from the beginning.
Fortunately, they were powerful. Once they dispersed their thoughts, they would be able to see all kinds of situations. Their investigation would not be too slow.
In the Li family's manor.
Song Shi's thoughts dispersed, and his eyes lit up. In a flash, he appeared in a small courtyard.
A young girl was washing clothes with red eyes. She was holding back her tears. The fat woman beside her cursed, "Cry, you only know how to cry. If you don't wash my clothes today, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Swoosh!
Song Shi appeared out of thin air and looked at the girl who was rubbing her clothes with her head lowered.
The fat woman, whose back was facing him, was shocked when she turned around. When she came back to her senses, she pointed at Song Shi. "Where did you come from?"
"You'd better be quiet. Don't offend Young Master."
Bai Yu'er used a bewitching technique to easily control her.
When the girl heard the voice, she looked up in a daze. When she saw Song Shi, she revealed a look of disbelief. Then, the tears that she had just controlled fell.

"Seventh Brother."
The girl burst into tears. She got up and threw herself into Song Shi's arms, making a sobbing sound.
Song Shi could feel the girl's reliance on him. He sighed and raised his hand to comfort her. He did not say anything.
Bai Yu'er and Bai Xiaoqin both knew that this should be Song Shi's younger sister, and their hearts ached.
"Hmph, Young Master's sister is incomparably noble and yet she's actually being ordered around by a fat woman like you?"
Bai Yu'er coldly harrumphed, and a wave of cold air spread out. The fat woman was directly frozen into an ice cube, shattering with a cracking sound.
Song Bei, who was sobbing non-stop, was frightened. She calmed down and said with tears streaming down her face, "Seventh Brother, something happened to Father and Third Brother."
"I know."
Song Shi nodded. "Bei Bei, did your fourth brother not contact you?"
"Yes, Fourth Brother wants us to go back, but Third Brother said that Jinzhou is too chaotic and doesn't want us to go back. They didn't talk about it after a fight."
"Third Brother is really selfish. He asked you to stay because he wants you to help him support the Li family."
When Song Shi heard this, he understood why Song Hu had rejected him. As a son-in-law, his status in the Li family was definitely not high. If he did not have a single relative by his side, he could be bullied as he pleased.
"Second Sister said the same thingโฆ"
Song Bei replied in a low voice and wiped his tears with his sleeve. "But no one would have thought that Jinzhou is not safe either. Since half a year ago, there have been people from the Demon Cult wreaking havoc. From time to time, people have gone missing. In the end, Father and the others were also affected. They couldn't be found after last night."
At this moment, hurried footsteps approached. A group of guards heard the commotion and came over. When they saw the fragments on the ground, their expressions changed drastically.
"How dare you, demon! How dare you cause trouble in the Li residence? Don't you know that I, Master Li, am the master of the Jinzhou Prefecture?"
The leading guard shouted. His voice was like thunder. He deliberately spread it out for others to hear so that he could inform others to deal with this group of unknown demons.
Song Shi glanced at Bai Yu'er. "Next time, if I don't speak, don't make decisions on your own. Even if you and I can casually wipe out the Li family, there's no need to kill someone just because of a disagreement."
"Young Master, I was too impulsive."
Bai Yu'er hurriedly apologized.
In her opinion, these humans were just ants. She could kill them if she wanted to, let alone have a reason.
However, she also understood that Song Shi was a human after all. He was not someone who killed indiscriminately. Most importantly, she had violated Song Shi's authority and killed him without his permission.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The guards who came over drew their sabers one after another. Genuine Qi surged from their bodies. They were all martial artists. The leader of the small group was even at the Connate Realm. From this, one could tell how strong the Li family was.
Song Bei's face turned pale as he grabbed Song Shi's arm nervously. "Seventh Brother, what should we do? They're very powerful. I heard that there's a Golden Core Martial King guarding them."
"Golden Core?"
Song Shi scoffed. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator came, he could easily kill them with his current strength, let alone a Golden Core cultivator.
These people were no different from ants in front of him.
However, he was not interested in stepping on ants for no reason. He glanced at the guard who had drawn his saber. "Who asked my sister to wash dirty clothes?"
"I asked her to wash it. Why? You ate my Li family's food, used my Li family's things, and owe my Li family. What's the big deal about washing some clothes?"
A young woman in luxurious clothes walked over and looked coldly at Song Shi's back, "Are all you Song family members so heartless? Song Hu provoked a flirtatious fox outside. It's already good enough that I didn't kill him!"
Song Shi frowned as resentment surged towards him. "I'm not interested in your matters. Tell me where they went missing."
The noble lady placed her hands on her hips. "Why should I tell you? That Song fellow owes my Li family a huge sum of resources and favors. Now that he has provoked that slut, his whereabouts are unknown. If you want to know, return the resources and favors first!" n0๐๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ท.๐ธ0๐
Her expression was mocking. "This brat still wants to pay for my Li family's work. I think she won't be able to pay for it even if she washes dirty clothes for the rest of her life."
Song Shi glanced at Song Bei. "Girl, you're so silly. How can you want to return such a thing?"
"Bei Bei don't know where to go. Moreoverโฆ Moreover, she has her niece, Yaya, to take care of. Bei Bei has nowhere to go."
Song Bei pinched the corner of his clothes and said timidly.
"Niece?"
Song Shi was stunned. "That guy had a child with someone outside?"
If that was the case, he couldn't blame her for being sarcastic. It was good that she didn't kill him.
"Bullshit, he wouldn't dare!"
Song Hu's wife denied Song Shi's guess herself.
This surprised Song Shi. "Then whose child is this Yaya?"
"Second Sister's."
Song Bei blinked her big eyes and said, "Because she took Second Sister's surname, they asked me to call her niece."
"โฆ"
Song Shi forgot about this woman. Indeed, she could have gotten married.
"Second Sister and Father went to investigate Third Brother's disappearance and also disappeared. Yaya is still young, and the war outside is chaotic. Bei Bei doesn't have much ability, so she doesn't dare to bring her around."
Song Bei looked much more sensible than before. Song Shi's heart ached when he heard that.
"Bei Bei, you're good."
Bai Xiaoqin praised Bei Bei from the side.
"Alright, I understand."
Song Shi patted the girl's shoulder. In that case, the Li family was not in the wrong. Bai Yu'er was indeed a little ruthless.
He turned to look at his wife. "She won't work for you anymore. I'll take them away."
When she saw Song Shi from the front, her pupils dilated as she revealed a stunned expression.
This young master was actually so handsome that she could not take her eyes off him.
She sized up Song Shi greedily and liked this handsome young master more and more. She laughed delicately. "You're Song Hu's younger brother, right? You're more handsome than your brother. As the saying goes, brothers pay each other's debts. If you're willing to marry into my Li family and marry me, you can forget about what he owes."
Her eyes were like limpid autumn waters, constantly moving on Song Shi's body. She was full of smiles, clearly interested in Song Shi.
In fact, this was just because Song Shi's cultivation level was high. His body had been cleansed and transformed by the Spirit Qi over and over again. He could be said to be a peerless handsome man. Furthermore, he had a Connate Dao Body and had an otherworldly aura. There were really not many women who did not like him.
Song Shi's face darkened. "Bullsh*t what brother pays his debt. And do I look like a freeloader?"
The madam pursed her lips and smiled. "I can get married to you too."
"Hmph, where did this love-struck fool come from? Are you even worthy of marrying my Young Master?"
Bai Yu'er's face darkened. "You really don't know what's good for you. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"
"You!"
The woman's face darkened. "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so noisy?"
"You want to die?"
Bai Yu'er's thin brows furrowed. Just a trace of her aura was enough to cause the surrounding temperature to drop. The noble lady and the guards felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were in the middle of winter.
The most terrifying thing was the bone-chilling cold that penetrated straight into their souls. It terrified them and made them unable to move for a moment.
This time, Bai Yu'er did not kill anyone casually. She only intimidated the Li family.
Song Shi stared at the rich lady coldly. "I'm not interested in repaying Song Hu's debt. I'll take Song Bei away. I won't have anything to do with you guys anymore."
He took Song Bei's hand. "Let's go."
"Seventh Brother, there's still Ya Ya."
Song Bei reminded.
"You take her too. We're leaving now."
Song Shi stopped and let go of his sister.
The latter turned around and jogged to a small dilapidated house. Soon, she carried a small cloth bag and walked out with a two-year-old girl.
When Song Shi saw the girl's eyebrows, he felt that they were somewhat familiar. He frowned and asked, "Who's her father?"

328 Half-Demon, Half-Human
Bai Yu'er retracted her Aura. The noble lady and the others could finally vent their anger. All of them were sweating profusely and were a little exhausted.
When the rich lady heard Song Shi's question, she said indignantly, "Hmph, she's just a bastard. How can she have a father?"
This further confirmed Song Shi's thoughts. He did not say anything else and looked at the girl's pure eyes. "Let's go out first. Yu'er, ask about the ins and outs of their disappearance."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and instantly disappeared with the two women and the girl.
Such a superb scene made the woman widen her eyes. "So this young master is an expert. It's too perfect."
She was also a cultivator and could tell that Song Shi's strength was definitely not simple.
Bai Yu'er turned around and looked over. Everyone felt that a pair of huge snake eyes had appeared and they would fall into a hallucination in the future.
In the restaurant's private room, purple smoke curled up from the incense burner, bringing with it a calming aura.
On the bed, a two or three-year-old girl was curled up and sleeping soundly. Song Bei covered Yaya with a blanket and tiptoed out of the room.
Looking at Song Shi, who was standing by the railing, she revealed a relieved smile. Among her brothers, she liked Seventh Brother the most, but they rarely got together.
"Why didn't she go to Chang Sunji's family?"
Song Shi said.
"She did, but she was kicked out because she wasn't pregnant with a boy."
Song Bei sighed.
Preferring boys over girlsโฆ n0๐๐๐๐ข๐๐.๐0๐ช
Song Shi mocked, "It also means that the Virtuous Phoenix King doesn't care much about this profligate son. No wonder he was sent to Jinzhou back then."
"En, I heard from Father that the Virtuous Phoenix King has more than thirty sons. That Chang Sunji's mother died long ago, and no one can say anything. In addition, Yaya is a girl, so Second Sister was kicked out of the house right after she went. They didn't acknowledge this child at all, so she could only give her the surname Song."
Song Bei smiled bitterly. Her not-so-mature face revealed a complicated expression that only adults had. It was obvious that he had experienced all kinds of worldly wisdom over the years.
"She didn't find another man?" Song Shi was curious. With Song Jia's qualities, it shouldn't be difficult for her to find a man to take over.
"She did, but they were unlucky. They all died in the conflict between Jinzhou and the Demonic Sect."
"โฆ"
Song Shi was caught between laughter and tears. "She has good taste. As for you, back then, she wanted to feed you to evil spirits. Didn't you hate her? Why did you help her take care of her child?"
"I don't hate you. Bei Bei was the most useless at that time. If I let the evil spirit eat me and let you guys live, Bei Bei will be very happy in the underworld."
Song Bei's eyes lit up as she spoke seriously.
"What a silly child."
Song Shi stroked Song Bei's head helplessly. "You're just like your mother. You're obedient. Even if something happens, you'll take responsibility for it."
Song Bei thought of her mother. "Mother said that a family is still a family. We have to understand each other to be harmonious."
Song Shi felt that he had been taught a lesson by this girl. He was very unhappy with Song Jia and could not stand people like Song Hai who caused trouble and did not take responsibility.
He did not discourage Song Bei. It was a good thing that this girl had her own thoughts.
"Well said, but one has to be selfish. Not everyone can forgive you."
Song Shi stroked his sister's hair. "Especially you. Sometimes, you'll be at a disadvantage if you're too kind. Also, remember, you're very useful."
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Brother."
Song Bei smiled brightly.
Without saying anything else, Song Shi looked outside and thought about the shattered Song family. Perhaps this girl was one of the few human treasure in the Song family.
"Come, watch the sunset with me for a while."
Song Shi put his arm around Song Bei's shoulder. The latter obediently leaned against him and enjoyed this moment of rare peace.
He checked Song Bei's situation. This girl did not have a spiritual root, but she was practicing martial arts. However, she had just entered the Beginner realm. This ability could only be considered to strengthen her body. She would not even be able too deal with beasts at all.
"This girl is too kind. Should I push her onto the path of cultivation?"
Song Shi pondered. He had a lot of treasures. Even if Song Bei practiced martial arts, he could help her improve very quickly.
However, the stronger one was, the more complicated the things one would come into contact with. Without enough experience, improving might not be a good thing.
"Husband, I've prepared some food. Sister Bei Bei must be hungry. Why don't we let her eat some?"
Bai Xiaoqin came over silently and spoke softly.
"You're still the most meticulous. I've already abstained from eating. It's fine if I don't eat. Bei Bei is still growing. She can't go hungry."
Song Shi patted his head. "Let's go, Bei Bei. Let's eat first."
A moment later, Song Shi's heart ached when he saw Bei Bei eating and drinking in big mouthfuls.
He was living a good life, but his sister, who was precious to him, was suffering here. It was a stark contrast.
"Bei Bei, eat slowly. There's more."
Bai Xiaoqin handed him a glass of water and was a little angry. "The Li family doesn't even give you enough food?"
"No, it's just that these are too delicious." Song Bei was a little embarrassed.
Song Shi turned around and walked out of the room. A white figure landed beside him.
"How's the situation?"
"I've asked clearly. It was Jinzhou who was secretly cooperating with the Demonic Sects. Song Hu was bewitched by a woman from the Sky Demon Cult and left the city without a trace. Later, your father and the others who went to investigate also never returned."
Bai Yu'er told him the information she didn't know before, "The location of the accident was an abandoned mine outside the city. Now that it has become a forbidden area, ordinary people don't dare to approach it. The cultivators of the Jin Province have been at a disadvantage a few times, so they don't dare to act rashly."
"I'll go take a look. Stay here and guard them."
Song Shi was afraid that it was some scheme against him. After all, in the Great Qian Imperial City, he had revealed a portion of his identity. At least Princess Wuxi and the others knew about his relationship with the Song family.
"Yes, Young Master, be careful. This is the map of Jinzhou."
Bai Yu'er handed him a silk scroll.
"You're very diligent."
Song Shi nodded and left with the scroll.
Jinzhou was located in a mountainous area with many mines, hence its name.
This abandoned mine was hundreds of miles away from the Jinzhou Prefecture. When he arrived at the mine, the sky was already dark. The huge mines between the mountains looked dark. When the mountain wind blew, there was a strange whining sound, like the low cries of evil spirits.
Song Shi's thoughts quickly swept across. He passed through a portion of the mine, but when he went deeper, he was stopped by the Array Formation Power.
"There's indeed something strange!"
Ripples appeared in the space under his feet. In a flash, he landed outside the largest mine and calmly walked in.
A faint stench wafted out with the wind. Song Shi's eyes lit up as the darkness in the cave was penetrated.
Bam.
Golden flames emerged and floated around his body, forming a circle. Under the light, white bones appeared under his feet.
Song Shi's Subtlety noticed that there were teeth marks on the white bones, as if they had been bitten by wild beasts.
"Howlโฆ"
After a few steps, the light he released attracted something in the darkness. A black shadow opened its bloody mouth and pounced.
With a thought from Song Shi, the latter froze in midair but maintained his pouncing posture.
However, Song Shi revealed a look of surprise. The person who attacked him was not a human or a Vicious beast, but a monster with a human body and a bear head.
This monster's lower body was similar to a human's, but its entire body was covered in black fur. There was a scar on its bear head, cutting off half of its face and one of its ears. It looked especially ferocious.
"Half-demon, half-human?"
Song Shi frowned. Could his father and the rest have been pulled to create such a monster?

329 Demon Seed
Thinking of his father becoming a mutant with a pig's head or a dog's head, Song Shi's face could not help but twitch.
That scene was too bizarre.
"ROAR!"
The bear-headed man growled, his eyes filled with madness and tyranny. Even though he was controlled by the Song Shi's Crowd Control, he continued to growl without any rationality.
The fire lit up.
Puff!
The bear-headed man turned into ashes before he could even scream.
"Sky Demon Cult, oh Sky Demon Cult, you guys are making me hate you more and more."
Song Shi muttered as his body landed on the ground and he accelerated into the mine.
There were a large number of tunnels in the mine. They went down layer by layer and were complicated.
In the tunnels of the mine, half-human, half-demon monsters lurked. Some had snake heads and human bodies, some had wolf heads and human bodies, and there were many types. Or the other way around, they had human heads and beast bodies, or most of them looked like wild beasts.
Without exception, these monsters were incomparably ferocious and had zero rationality. They were even worse than wild beasts.
Wild beasts at least knew how to be afraid and would not foolishly provoke existences stronger than them. However, these monsters were filled with only the beastly intent to attack. They rushed over one by one like moths attracted to a flame and turned into ashes under the Supreme Yang True Fire.
"During this period of cultivation, my Supreme Yang True Fire has already begun to show its power. Yet these monsters still rush over as if it's nothing. No wonder the Jinzhou cultivators are at a disadvantage here."
Seeing the monsters charging at him without any regard for their lives, Song Shi deeply understood how dangerous these things were.
The bold were afraid of the stupid, and the stupid were afraid of those who did not care about their lives. These monsters were comparable to him in terms of recklessness. And even he was not so crazy. n0๐ฝ๐๐ต๐๐๐ฏ.๐ธ0๐
"If these guys listen to my command, they will be the best kind of cannon fodderโฆ"
A light flashed in Song Shi's eyes as he stopped in front of a huge cave.
It was pitch-black inside. Under the illumination of the Supreme Yang True Fire, dense shadows appeared.
These shadows moved and looked up, revealing pairs of beastly eyes that growled at him.
"Another reckless fellow!"
A sinister sneer came from the darkness and echoed in the mine.
"That person quite confident. He is not even afraid of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like me. Looks like this is a nest that has been existing for some time."
Song Shi was deep in thought.
PIAK
He snapped his fingers, and a ball of fire flew out. It was quickly blocked by a layer of array formation barrier that was like a layer of water, producing a muffled bang.
The glaring light illuminated the entire pit. Many monsters were not used to this light and growled in frustration. However, they seemed to be controlled by something and did not rush out of the pit.
Song Shi quickly scanned the area and did not find any normal people. These should all be finished productsโฆ
"You're the only cultivator from Jinzhou here? You're quite bold!"
The voice in the dark was also investigating Song Shi's situation. Other than the fact that Song Shi was enveloped by the Supreme Yang True Fire and could not be seen, he was certain that only one Nascent Soul had come.
He chuckled, "I'll let you taste the cold underground Yin wind first!"
In the next moment, a strange gray wind blew out with a whistling sound. In the end, apart from making the flames on Song Shi's body burn even more vigorously, it did not blow him away at all.
Song Shi started to break through the Array Formation and entered the pit. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of a group of men in black behind the monsters.
"Finally, a few normal people."
Song Shi raised his hand and grabbed as fire appeared in his palms, forming a powerful Nomological power domain that enveloped this group of people.
This was a method he had learned from the Sky Demon Saint. Although he could not use spatial power, he had a lot of Nomological power and could achieve a similar effect.
"Ah!"
The scorching Nomological power of the Supreme Nine Yang instantly placed these people in a sea of flames. A few Qi Refinement cultivators who were a step slower in defending themselves were directly burned to ashes. They struggled for a moment before turning to ashes.
The others were shocked and afraid. They used all kinds of methods to block the Nine Yang Nomological power to survive.
The Golden Core cultivator who had been hiding and speaking looked at Song Shi in shock. "How did you come in so quickly? This is the Earth Demonic Yin Gathering Array. It shouldn't be broken so easily."
This person was dressed in green and looked like a middle-aged man. He was short and stout. He held a bronze bell Dharma treasures in his hand and released a green-black bell-shaped barrier to block the flames.
He was a little flustered. According to the past situation, these invaders would be blocked outside the Array Formation and continuously consumed by the mutants he mobilized. How could this person charge in in just a few breaths?
"How dare a mere Golden Core cultivator like you act so arrogantly in front of me with a trashy fifth-grade Array Formation?"
Song Shi punched through the air. Nine Yang Nomological powers condensed into a fireball and poured onto the bronze bell with a bang.
Clang! Crack!
As soon as the bell rang, it was cracked by the punch. The middle-aged man in green exclaimed, "My Dharma treasure!"
Boom!
After the bronze bell shattered, he was smashed to the ground by Song Shi's Fire Fist. The hard rocks shattered, and at the same time, his body.
The others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled in fear. None of them could escape even if they wanted to. Destructive flames were everywhere.
"Where are the guys you arrested?"
Song Shi asked coldly as the flames released were even more intense, "Whoever leads the way can live."
The group of people looked hesitant. It was unknown if they did not dare to betray him or if they were worried that Song Shi would not keep his promise.
Song Shi flicked his finger, and nine beams of fire shot out. Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
The nine people's defense were broken and they died on the spot.
"One last chance."
Song Shi did not show any mercy. These guys were all extremely vicious people. If he did not use evil to suppress evil, he would waste more time today.
"I'll show you the way!"
Someone couldn't take it anymore and was the first to speak. The others were about to follow.
Song Shi waved his hand, and with a loud bang, everyone who did not speak was wiped out.
The only living person was trembling. His face was pale and he almost peed his pants.
"Howlโฆ"
The monsters that had not moved before seemed to have been unshackled. Their eyes were bloodshot as they turned to look at Song Shi.
"What are you looking at?"
Song Shi slapped back and released the scorching Supreme Yang True Fire. With a loud bang, the entire pit was submerged in the sea of fire.
The monsters that had yet to attack screamed and melted under the high temperature. Then, they evaporated. None of them could withstand it.
The entire underground space shook violently and many tunnels collapsed from the explosion.
Song Shi carried the only survivor and passed through the sea of fire. He was like a god in the fire, unaffected.
"Senior, the living people we captured are classified and separated into the 'Female' pit and the 'Male' pit."
The captured Sky Demon Cult minion pointed in the direction with difficulty and explained, "There's some distance between the two sides and here. We're just guarding the entrance here."
Song Shi asked why no other powerhouses came over after the explosion and asked about other matters, "Did you capture living people to create these?"
"Yes and no."
The minion was conflicted. "I should say that I nurture them. Sometimes, I feed them. Basically, the women are used to nurture demonic seeds. While the men mostly treated as food. Senior, I'm just a guard. I didn't have a part to play in this."
Song Shi frowned. With just a few sentences, he could infer what these guys were doing.
He casually chose a 'Male' pit and asked, "What's a demon seed? Are they the so-called mutants?"
"No, mutants are people with the bloodline of demon beasts. A demon seed is a demon seed. I've never seen it before either."
"Not the ones just now?"
Song Shi was stunned. Why did he feel like these guys were conducting cross-species hybridization experiments?

"No. These are Beast Demons. They have no sense or rationality. I've heard they're considered failures."
The minion shook his head. "There are many types according to each of their bloodlines. But this is based on what I've heard of only."
"There are quite a number of freaks in Sky Demon Cultโฆ"
Song Shi muttered to himself. The Heavenly Ghost Sect played with ghosts, which meant that after they died, they would merge with beast souls and turn into things like cow heads and horse faces. But the Sky Demon Cult actually did such a taboo thing, and he was getting more and more glad that he did not join them.
Thinking of this, he sped up.
Although his father and the others hadn't been captured for long, since they might be treated as food, he had to find them early. He didn't want to run over to save them and end up saving a pile of excrement.
"Ow!"
Monsters came along the way. They were much stronger than the ones he had encountered previously. To Song Shi, it was no different. He pushed his way through.
The commotion here was already known by the other side. Before Song Shi arrived, many figures landed and blocked the way, staring coldly at Song Shi.
Among these people, there was no lack of people with beast-like gazes. They more or less carried the characteristics of beasts, such as long tongues, beast tails, beast ears, and so on.
Unlike the slender cultivators, these mutants had strange auras. They were more like wild beasts than humans.
"Who are you? Tell me your name."
Some of the mutants had unfriendly expressions.
"Don't be rude. This is the new Guardian of our sect."
A leisurely voice sounded.
Swoosh!
A cultivator emitting green light suddenly landed. He was so fast that even Song Shi was surprised.
This person's movement technique was so powerful that even he admitted that he was inferior.
Perhaps in the open space outside, he could compare with it with Divine Teleportation Footwork, but his agility was still far inferior.
This person gave him the feeling that he was blending into the wind, elegant and natural.
The other party's cultivation was also higher than his, having reached late-Nascent Soul stage. He was definitely not simple in the Sky Demon Cult and had a noble status.
"Who are you?"
Song Shi said coldly, "I've never seen you before."
"Perfected Immortal Lord Song's name resounds throughout Great Qian. Even if I haven't seen you with my own eyes, I've heard of you."
The figure emitting green light retracted his Nomological power and revealed his appearance. He was a man wearing a green brocade robe.
This person had a slender figure and a short beard. He was handsome and was completely different from the beastly figures around him. Instead, he looked like a carefree swordsman.
His words shocked the other aggressive people.
Song Shi's gaze froze. "You knew I would come?"
He became vigilant. If this was really a trap targeted at him, it would be difficult to save him. Even if he was not afraid of death, the other party could still use his family to threaten him.
"I did, but I didn't expect Guardian Song to arrive so quickly."
The man in green smiled and cupped his fists. "Let me introduce myself. I'm a Guardian of the Sky Demon Cult, Qing Yu. I've admired Young Master Song for a long time. Now that I've seen you today, you're far more heroic and extraordinary than the rumors say."
Song Shi scoffed, "Interesting. I killed one of your Sky Demon Cult's Guardian and heavily injured the Sky Demon Saint that your Sky Demon Cult painstakingly saved, yet you still want me to be your Guardian?"
"Young Master Song, our Sky Demon Cult only cares about ability. Even if you have enmity with some of our cult members, it won't hinder our cooperation."
Qing Yu had a kind expression on his face. "In my opinion, since you were able to severely injure the Sky Demon Saint, your future is limitless. Perhaps it's not inferior to his."
Song Shi sneered. "I'm not interested. I'm only here to look for someone today. Are you going to hand him over obediently, or do you want me to do it?"
Seeing the Sky Demon Cult doing this with his own eyes, Song Shi was even more unwilling to interact with these people, so how could he be willing to be a Guardian in there?
Qing Yu put down his hand and said meaningfully, "Young Master Song, who are you referring to? There are many people here."
"Your movement technique is very good, so you must be very fast. You can often fool people. Should we try and see if I can kill you?"
Song Shi's eyes were cold.
"I'm not Young Master Song's match. Young Master Song is an expert who can withstand a strike from the Sect Master. He has remarkable abilities. Qing Yu must admit defeat."
Qing Yu hurriedly waved his hand. "As for the people Young Master Song found, they're actually very safe. We're just inviting them over as guests."
This weak and threatening sentence made Song Shi frown, "What do you want to do? Be more concise."
"Young Master Song, please be our Guardian. That way, we'll be on the same side."
Qing Yu smiled. "If Young Master Song is really unwilling, we also hope that Young Master Song will not stop our Sky Demon Cult from doing things."
"No problem."
Song Shi readily agreed. Now that he had something on him, he could only compromise first and see what happened when the time came.
"Words are useless. We have to sign a contract."
Qing Yu shook his head. "After all, there are too many people in this world who go back on their words."
"Sure."
Song Shi had no objections.
Qing Yu looked surprised. "The contract I'm talking about is even stricter than the oaths I usually make. If I really violate it, your soul will dissipate."
"Oh."
Song Shi's interest was piqued, but his expression did not change, "As long as I don't violate the contract, it's just a piece of scrap paper."
"It seems that Young Master Song is very confident in himself. However, I still suggest that Young Master join us. This way, there will be fewer restrictions on the contract."
Qing Yu realized that he could not see through this person. Did he not know how powerful the binding effect of the contract was, or was he really confident?
Song Shi's gaze wavered. "What benefits?"
"After becoming a Guardian, other than the Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, and Guardians of the same level, you can command anyone else. As long as they don't betray our sect, they will be free."
"What? Doesn't the Sky Demon Saint want to kill me? Will he agree to let me join?"
Song Shi teased. n0๐๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ท.๐ธ0๐
"The Demon Saint actually admires Young Master Song very much. He said that no one has been able to hurt him for so many years and he acknowledges your ability very much. We only dared to invite you because of his instructions."
Qing Yu smiled.
"Alright, I'll join. Give me the contract."
Song Shi readily agreed without any hesitation, causing the Sky Demon Cult members present to be a little dumbfounded.
"Good, Young Master Song is so bold!"
Qing Yu applauded. "A cultivator like Young Master Song who cares so much about his family is truly rare in our Sky Demon Cult. In the future, we can set an example for everyone and let the disciples learn what filial piety and integrity are."
Song Shi pursed his lips. A bunch of lawless, unscrupulous, sinister, and vicious demonsโฆ The Sky Demon Cult that had all kinds of moral shortcomings would learn loyalty and filial etiquette?
He said impatiently, "Cut the crap. Take out the contract!"
"It's so comfortable talking to Brother Song."
Qing Yu was all smiles as he took out a black scroll from his chest pocket. A cold and dark aura filled the air, as if it could devour light. One look and one could tell that it was not a proper contract.
He opened the contract. The surface of the scroll made of an unknown material was still pure black. The entire underground space darkened. Song Shi felt that his Supreme Yang True Fire was about to be swallowed by the scroll.
"Brother Song, this contract has already been signed. We promise not to hurt your family so in return please write a promise on it with your blood to not to betray our sect and to not disobey the orders of the Sect Master."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shi cut his finger. Golden blood flowed out, emitting waves of divine light. It was an extraordinary scene.
He used blood as ink to write directly on the contract.
Qing Yu was flabbergasted. Back then, when he signed this dark contract, he had been in a dilemma for a long time. Did this person not even consider the conditions on the contract?
Report chapter Comments
Under the mine, in the huge mine that was specially opened, a group of Sky Demon Cult cultivators looked at a black scroll with reverence.
As Song Shi's finger moved, a row of golden-red words appeared on the scroll: Don't betray Sky Demon Cult, don't disobey the orders of the cult master.
Over.
Buzz buzz!
The scroll vibrated, and the blood that emitted golden light was absorbed by the scroll. Then, a strange force locked onto Song Shi.
If he violated the contract, he would be killed by this strange power and his soul would dissipate.
Seeing that the contract was completed, although Qing Yu was still puzzled, he could not find any loopholes.
This contract locked onto the soul aura. In other words, regardless of whether the person in front of him was Song Shi's main body or clone, it did not prevent the power of the contract from being effective.
Song Shi watched as the Contract of Darkness devoured his blood and instantly had an inexplicable feeling. It was as if a huge black mouth was floating above his head, ready to devour him at any moment.
"Interesting."
He clicked his tongue in wonder. This was the second time he had signed a contract. Last time, it was with the guy from the Heavenly Corpse Sect. That contract didn't have much binding power, and it couldn't be compared to this one.
"Brother Song, welcome to be the new Guardian of our sect. In the future, you will replace Hong Luo and enjoy the treatment in our sect that is second only to the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master." n0๐๐๐๐ข๐๐.๐0๐ช
Qing Yu's expression became much kinder. He knew that it was impossible for Song Shi to go against them at this moment because his life was in the hands of the Sect Master.
Song Shi glanced at Qing Yu but did not violate the contract on the spot.
After all, this guy could run very quickly. He did not have absolute confidence in killing him.
Furthermore, he had yet to save his family. He would be a Guardian for a few days to see the situation first.
He said coldly, "Where are the people I'm looking for? I want to see them now."
"No problem. Guardian Song, this way please."
Qing Yu kept the scroll and turned around to lead the way.
The Sky Demon Cult cultivators who had followed them all made way, and their gazes turned into reverence. No one dared to be rude to Song Shi anymore.
In the Sky Demon Cult, strength reigned supreme. If this Guardian did not like them, he would kill them. No one would avenge them.
The lackey who was caught by Song Shi was stunned on the spot. He felt like he was in a dream.
The powerhouses who came to cause trouble had become their people for no reason?
โฆ
In the dark mine, a group of people were locked up in an abandoned mine. They were in a constant state of panic.
"A few more people were eaten today. I wonder when it will be our turn."
Song Hu's eyes were filled with despair as he looked at the old man beside him. "Father, you shouldn't have cared about me."
"I'm your father. How can I be at ease if I don't come and take a look?"
Song Wan's head was already full of white hair. "Unfortunately, even if we die, no one will take care of Bei Bei and the other two."
"Let's hope they can contact Fourth Brother. We can't even take care of ourselves now."
Song Hu smiled bitterly.
Creak~
The sound of the iron door opening could be heard. Everyone shut up and became strangely quiet.
Fear appeared in their eyes as they looked at the figure walking over from the door.
Which unlucky ones would be captured and fed to the monsters this time?
The Sky Demon Cult cultivators who were holding torches passed by some people, and the corresponding people all revealed relieved expressions. They knew that this meant that they had not been chosen and could still live for a few more days.
The person stopped in front of Song Wan, his son and Old Qin. The surrounding people looked at him with pity.
The three of them looked at each other with dim eyes. They were just talking just now. Was it their turn so soon?
"Father and son of the Song family, and this guest of the Song family, please follow me."
The Sky Demon Cult cultivators were rather polite.
The three of them looked at each other and were a little stunned. They did not understand what had happened.
Not daring to ask further, they followed the Sky Demon Cult cultivators out of the cage. The surrounding Sky Demon Cult cultivators increased in number, causing them to feel immense pressure.
"Tsk tsk, this family is really lucky. They're actually family with the new Guardian."
"The most powerful of them is only at the Connate realm. How did they nurture a top expert like a new Guardian?"
"Tsk, what has it got to do with them? It's because the new Guardian is powerful. It's rumored that he's the reincarnation of an immortal, so he reached this level at such a young age."
The discussions along the way made Song Wan and the other two even more confused.
At this moment, a woman was brought over from the other side. When she saw them, she said in surprise, "Father!"
"You were brought out too?"
Confused, Song Wan asked, "Who is it that wants to see us? They seem to be important figures related to our Song Clan, but we don't have any powerful cultivators, do we?"
"Could it be that one of our Song family's seniors entered the cultivation world in the past? It's been too long, so we don't remember?"
Song Jia was quite excited, "Then we will make a comeback this time. In the future, we won't have to live according to the Li Family's wishes."
They conversed softly and came to an underground space. There was a high platform here, where Sky Demon Cult usually gathered.
"Guardian Song, your family is here."
The cultivator who led the way bowed respectfully to the man on the stage.
Song Wan and the other three looked at Song Shi's back. Other than Song Wan, who felt that he was familiar, the other three revealed looks of admiration and excitement. They did not recognize Song Shi, whom they had not seen for several years.
"I'll take my men and leave first."
Song Shi said.
"Guardian Song, remember to come back early. We have been taking action in Jinzhou recently."
Qing Yu smiled and stared at Song Wan and the others below the stage in surprise.
Were these normal people worth this person giving up his freedom and even risking his life to sign the Contract of Darkness?
He couldn't figure it out. He really couldn't figure it out.
"I'll come over."
Song Shi waved his hand, and a ball of Nomological power enveloped the four of them. After confirming that there was no problem, he flew towards the exit with them.
"What a strange person. A few mere mortals and ants are worthy of such attention?"
A person beside Qing Yu asked in confusion.
"He shouldn't be. If he's really a reincarnated immortal, why would he care about these things? If he isn't, he's too emotional. I really don't know how he got to this point."
Qing Yu could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. If he really could not figure it out, he could not be bothered to think about it.
"I'll send the contract back. Tian Mozi, stay behind and guard the nest."
He turned around and left from the other side.
Song Shi flew out of the mine with the few of them in one breath. It was late at night outside, and the few of them were in a ball of light. They could not see Song Shi's appearance clearly, and they did not dare to speak while flying.
"The Sky Demon Cult has gotten so many monsters here. Sooner or later, they will launch a large-scale attack on Jinzhou. After you meet up with Bei Bei, go to Silken City. The battle there has already ended, so it's safe for the time being."
Song Shi said calmly.
Song Wan's body trembled and his old eyes widened in disbelief. "You're Shi'er?"
With a thought, he landed on the ground. Song Shi dissipated some of the light from his Nomological power, revealing his handsome face. "It's me."
"How could it be you!"
Song Jia's expression was extremely complicated.
"If it wasn't for me, who would care about you?"
Song Shi looked at Song Hu coldly. "You've been trying to cheat your family from the beginning to the end, right?"
He found out from Qing Yu that this guy had intentionally seduced a female disciple of Sky Demon Cult. In the end, he was captured and locked up as food and his father and the others were even implicated.
"Iโ"
Song Hu's face turned pale, and his soul trembled under Song Shi's gaze.
"You don't get to go to Jinzhou. You're not worthy."

Song Shi was still brooding over this person. If Song Hu had not abandoned the Zhang family's daughter, he would not have created an enemy, Hei Duzi.
It had only been a few years, but this guy had actually colluded with a demoness of the Demonic Sect again. This time, he was really going to exterminate his clan. That was enough.
His cold words immediately dissipated Song Hu's feeling of having survived a calamity. He begged, "Seventh Brother, I was wrong. No matter what, we're still family."
"You have no right to tell me this."
Song Shi sneered. "The hundreds of lives in the Song family were lost because of your love affairs. I'm already giving my father face by not killing you."
"No, Seventh Brother, I really didn't do it on purpose. I learned from some sources that the Demonic Sect was going to attack Jinzhou. I wanted to build a good relationship with the Demonic Sect in advance so that I could leave a way out. Who knew that the demoness was playing with me and tricked me to come here to feed those monsters?"
Song Hu hurriedly explained. The more he spoke, the angrier he became.
"Yes, it's all someone else's fault. You didn't do anything wrong. Back then, when you abandoned your wife and son. It was also someone else's fault, right?"
Song Shi mocked.
"It's true that I was in the wrong, but I was doing it for my future and my family. Back then, Miss Li was interested in me. The Li family is both powerful and a cultivation family. Just a casual help could turn my Song family from a noble family to an aristocratic family. Who would have thoughtโฆ"
"Hmph!"
Song Shi waved his hand and sent Song Hu flying with a slap. "There are many things in this world that you can't control. When have you ever been a good human? You claim to be a member of the family, but I don't see you bringing any benefits. Instead, everything you brought has been a disaster!"
"I, Song Shi, have no interest in letting you go back and continue exterminating your clan. You can fend for yourself in Jinzhou."
Swoosh!
Song Shi left with the others.
Song Hu was covered in dust from the fall. When he got up, he could no longer see anyone. He was furious. "What did I do wrong? If I succeed, won't the Song family have a chance to soar?" n0๐ฝ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐.๐0๐
No one answered him. The surrounding darkness instantly engulfed him, scaring him so much that he was immediately speechless.
"Seventh Son, actually, Song Huโฆ"
In the ball of light, Song Wan had just had time to mediate.
"If you want to follow him, I'll put you down."
Song Shi's retort immediately silenced Song Wan.
"As for youโฆ"
Song Shi glanced at her. "For the sake of that child, I'll give you a chance. If you cause trouble again, I won't interfere."
Song Jia pursed her lips and did not dare to speak. Back then, Song Shi had already slapped her. Now that he was even more capable, she did not dare to make a scene again.
"Elder Qin, back then, you taught me a small divine power. I, Song Shi, will repay you."
Song Shi moved his fingers and a storage ring flew out. "This is for you. There are some resources inside."
"Young Master, you're too kind."
Elder Qin took it in surprise.
Seeing that Elder Qin was the only one who was not rebuked, Song Wan sighed. He knew that his son was clear about gratitude and grudges. Whoever treated him well, he would treat well.
Coincidentally, this seventh son had not been well-liked in the Song family since they were young. Fortunately, he was nostalgic and did not let him be bullied too much. Otherwise, he might not even care about his father today.
Song Shi took a step forward and activated Divine Teleportation Footwork.
With the three of them, their speed was too slow. Song Shi estimated that it would take a lot of time. He raised his hand and flung it, taking out the Cloud Breaking Flying Ship that he usually used.
The flying ship quickly expanded to its normal size, and Song Shi landed with the three of them.
After a while, Song Wancai asked, "Seventh son will Song Hu be in danger in the wilderness?"
"He has some cultivation. If he dies here, then let him die."
Song Shi's expression was indifferent, "From today onwards, regardless of whether he dies or not, he is not allowed to return to the Song family in Silken City. Remember this."
Song Wan nodded. "I understand. In the future, the Song family will be in your hands. You can arrange whatever you want."
Song Wan was very straightforward. Now, he was no longer suitable to care about the Song family. Only whoever had the ability is qualified to care.
Not to mention that his son's ability was unbelievably high, what else did he have to hesitate about?
"I'm not interested in caring about the Song family. Let Old Fourth do it."
Song Shi shook his head. "I'm from the Immortal World. I won't stay in this world for long. Saving you today is only to repay the kindness of raising me for eighteen years."
His words were a little cold. He looked like he was trying to fool them, but this time, he had mixed feelings.
He knew he had to leave them eventually. He would leave when he reached the Soul Transformation realm.
Even if he didn't leave, could he still stay in the Song family? He had been unhappy since he was young. Now that his status and cultivation were high, it was even more impossible for his father and the others to interact with him normally.
He knew that whether it was in the past or now, he could never integrate into this family.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel disappointed.
Where was home in the vastness of the world?
Song Shi looked at the night sky, where the stars were shining.
When he first saw the night sky in this world, he felt this feeling, and it was still the same.
This kind of difficulty in finding a place to entrust his soul to was actually the most uncomfortable for him, especially now that he could not die and did not lack anything. Sometimes, he was quite troubled by this matter.
"If I'm strong enough, I should be able to return to my real hometown, right?"
Anticipation appeared in Song Shi's eyes. Since his soul could come to this world, as long as he had the ability, he should be able to return.
"I must be strong enough!"
The thought that had always been in his heart became clear at this moment, and he was exceptionally determined.
From today onwards, he no longer owed anything to this world. It was time for him to find his home and his true hometown.
Song Wan looked at his son's back and suddenly felt that Song Shi, who used to be close to him, was gradually becoming distant.
He was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Fourth Brother is fine too. He's much more honest and stable than Third Brother. He's suitable to be the next family head."
"In the future, if the Song family wants to prosper, they have to rely on their own hard work and not rely on the powerful and influential. They have to be honest and don't do things that harm others for their own benefit. There are countless opportunities in this world that can affect anybody. Sometimes, you don't even know if the person you offend will make a comeback or if it will be a ruthless character like Hei Duzi."
Song Shi said, "If you all fall into danger because of these things again, I won't care anymore."
"We know. We've suffered twice. There are some things we have understood."
Song Wan smiled bitterly.
"I'll take you to see someone later."
Song Shi returned to business. "My wife is also somewhat related to your doing."
"Me?"
Song Wan didn't understand.
"You'll see when we get back."
Song Shi smiled and injected his Nomological power into the flying ship, producing a sonic boom.
In the wee hours of the morning, the group returned to the Back Restaurant. Perhaps because they were too tired, Song Wan had already fallen asleep.
Song Shi took a look and waved his hand, scattering a golden light. Pure Nomological power flowed around his body and underwent a meridian cleansing.
Song Wan slept even more soundly. Song Shi waved his hand and the window of a room opened. Song Wan was sent to the bed to sleep.
Elder Qin and Song Jia were martial arts practitioners. Their bodies were stronger and they did not fall asleep. They only looked tired.
"Your daughter is in that room. Elder Qin, come with me."
The entire restaurant had already been booked by him. Song Shi casually turned to an empty space in the restaurant and stopped. He raised his hand and pointed to a spot for Song Jia before bringing Elder Qin to another room.
Song Jia's eyes were slightly red as she bowed to Song Shi. "Thank you."
She did not receive a response. When she looked up, Song Shi was already gone.

"Husband."
"Young Master."
When Bai Xiaoqin and Bai Yu'er heard the commotion, they came over to welcome them.
The latter was a little surprised that Song Shi had saved the people he seeked so quickly. As far as she knew, the Sky Demon Cult was not that easy to talk to, especially when there was friction between the two sides.
"Let's talk later."
Song Shi led the way for Elder Qin. "Rest for half a day first."
"Sorry to trouble you, Seventh Young Master."
Elder Qin glanced at Bai Yu'er and Bai Xiaoqin and nodded. He walked into a room and began to adjust his condition.
Song Shi and the two girls came to the other side to meet.
"After resting for two days, Yu'er, bring them out of here and return to Silken City to stay. Xiao Qin knows where the place is."
Song Shi made arrangements. "I have to deal with some matters, so I won't be leaving with you guys for the time being."
"Darling, be careful."
Bai Xiaoqin was concerned.
"Young Master is going to deal with matters related to the Sky Demon Cult?" Bai Yu'er asked thoughtfully.
"You don't have to worry about it. Just keep an eye on them. I don't want to encounter such things again."
Song Shi did not say much. The fewer people who knew that he was forced to join Sky Demon Cult, the better. Otherwise, both sides would be in trouble.
For example, now that he had joined the Sky Demon Cult, it would be troublesome if Great Qian treated him as an enemy.
"Yes, Young Master."
Bai Yu'er tactfully shut her mouth.
More than a day had passed, and Song Wan only woke up the next morning.
He felt refreshed, as if he had become ten years younger. In his surprise, he found a mirror and checked. Some black hair had grown back on his head.
This rejuvenation phenomenon surprised him, but he also understood that it was most likely related to Old Seventh. He was glad that he had not ignored him back then.
"My son is the reincarnation of an immortal and has the potential to become an immortal. It's enough for me to brag about this for the rest of my life."
He smiled happily.
After washing up, Song Shi brought Bai Yu'er and Bai Xiaoqin over. The two women stunned Song Wan.
"This is the person I asked you to meet. Do you remember her?"
Song Shi pointed at Bai Xiaoqin. "Back then, you discussed our engagement with her father. Perhaps it's fate. She's my wife now."
Song Wan was stunned. "It's the Bai family's youngest daughter! I didn't expect the two of you to be together. It's really fate."
"Bai Xiaoqin greets father-in-law."
Bai Xiaoqin bowed respectfully and was a little shy.
Song Shi waved his hand, and a maid in the restaurant brought over a cup of hot tea. "There's no one left in the Bai family. Serve a cup of tea and treat it as completing the Marriage tea ceremony."
"Yes, husband."
Bai Xiaoqin nodded obediently and knelt down with both hands to offer tea. "Father, please have some tea."
Song Wan smiled and took it. "Good, very good. I didn't expect us to become in-laws."
After drinking the tea, he smiled and said to Song Shi, "Seventh son, do you have a child?"
Bai Xiaoqin looked embarrassed. She was a ghost, how could she give birth?
"No, I'm the reincarnation of an immortal. My cultivation level is too high and I can't bear a descendant for the time being."
Song Shi shook his head.
"That's a pity. I still hope that you can leave behind descendants."
Song Wan looked regretful.
"As a cultivator, it all depends on fate."
Song Shi patted the dejected Bai Xiaoqin. "Don't think too much. There are many Dao companions in this world who don't have descendants."
"May I know who this is?"
Song Wan looked at Bai Yu'er and felt that she was a person who could give birth. n0๐๐๐ต๐ข๐๐ฏ.๐ 0๐
"Elder, I'm Young Master's maid, Yu'er."
Bai Yu'er smiled. "My surname is also Bai."
"Not bad, not bad."
Song Wan was all smiles. His son had two women, so his chances of having children were much higher.
After letting the two women meet Song Wan and the others, Song Shi did not stay long and returned to the abandoned mine.
Qing Yu had already left, and Song Shi had become the strongest and highest-ranking person here in name.
"Let's see what kind of devils and mutants they have."
Song Shi thought to himself.
"Guardian Song."
Tian Mozi came out to welcome them with mixed feelings.
More than a year ago, they were still participating in the Immortal opportunity meeting at the same level. Now, he had already condensed his Nascent Soul and become an expert who could fight a Soul Transformation cultivator.
This difference was too great.
He could only comfort himself by saying that the other party was a reincarnated Immortal.
"Show me the results of your research."
Song Shi said with interest.
"No problem, please."
Tian Mozi had long known that Song Shi would definitely ask about these things, so he calmly led the way.
When he arrived at the dim underground space, Song Shi heard terrifying chewing sounds.
Amidst the stench, half-human, half-demon monsters were locked in cages like pigs and dogs, eating food fed to them.
This food was all flesh and blood, mixed with bones. It was eaten by the hungry monster, whose body was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not only did the monsters grow strangely, but there was also no lack of human limbs in the food. Song Shi revealed a look of disgust. "You guys are really inhumane."
"There's no choice. In order to take action, we've been nurturing these things on a large scale recently. There's seriously not enough food. Most of the surrounding wild beasts, Vicious beasts, and even demon beasts have already been captured. The more powerful demon beasts are intelligent and not easy to capture. We can only choose to capture ordinary people and independent cultivators with some cultivation to feed them."
Tian Mozi explained the situation.
"Those who commit too many evil deeds will bring about their own destruction. Your methods are too cruel. Even if you take down Jinzhou and Great Qian, ordinary people will not be convinced."
Song Shi sneered.
"It's alright. Our sect's philosophy is to turn this world into a demonic realm. The strong prey on the weak. There's no need for etiquette, integrity, or shame. Those are all bad habits that waste resources. If we really rule Great Qian, whoever is unhappy can die."
Tian Mozi did not hesitate and said with a smile, "Guardian Song will get used to it when he sees more of it."
"I don't want that."
Song Shi shrugged. "When human nature is lacking, cultivation is much less fun."
"Guardian Song can cultivate the demonic path and do whatever he wants. He won't be restricted by the world's rules. How refreshing would that be?"
Tian Mozi bewitched, "With Guardian Song's ability, he will definitely have a brighter future in the Heavenly Demon World."
Song Shi pursed his lips. "Are there many beauties in the Heavenly Demon World?"
"Thisโฆ I'm not sure."
Tian Mozi was caught between laughter and tears by Song Shi's train of thought.
"Look at your Sky Demon Cult. It's not glamorous at all. The Heavenly Demon Saint is pitch-black and incomparably ugly. I reckon that the environment of the Heavenly Demon World is also dark and unholy. I really can't accept it. I'll go to the Yin Spirit World in the future."
Song Shi looked at the experimental subjects and kept shaking his head. This was really not his favorite place.
At the very least, there was a group of Chinese Female Spirits serving the Heavenly Ghost Sect. This place was filled with monsters.
Tian Mozi said helplessly, "Guardian Song, you've misunderstood. This is only a nest to nurture devils and mutants. Our Sky Demon Cult also has many places to enjoy ourselves."
Song Shi scoffed and strode out of the breeding area. When he arrived at the cultivation area, he saw the despair on the faces of the human women. They were locked in cages with big bellies.
Beside him, there was a monster that had just been born. It was half-human and half-demon. He said with a dark expression, "Have you ever thought that creating these things will one day backfire on you?"
"Only if they have the capability to do so. When every mutant is born, there will be Taboo Powers casted on them. Even if they don't have their rationality, they won't dare to attack us."
Tian Mozi smiled. "And the mutants that can be controlled are the best army. They can deal with the Qian Dragon Army in the future."

"I want to destroy this place."
Song Shi did not hide his disgust.
"Guardian Song, there's no need. There are plenty of places like this. Not only my Sky Demon Cult, but many other places are also trying to do the same. There's no lack of so-called un-righteous sects."
Tian Mozi mocked, "At least my Sky Demon Cult doesn't do such things in secret. In other places, Wind Nation and Sand Nation have always been researching mutants, but I've never seen anyone annihilating them."
Song Shi frowned. "Tell me more about the so-called mutants and Orcs."
"I'd love to."
Tian Mozi spoke as if he knew everything. "Mutants are actually people with the bloodline of foreign species. The so-called foreign species are mostly powerful demon beasts and birds."
He continued, "These outlanders have existed for a long time. They were the descendants of humans and demons in the ancient times. I heard that humans took the initiative to fuse with the bloodline of demon beasts in pursuit of power. Look, the descendants of the Wind Nation have the bloodline of the Qing Luan, and the descendants of the Fire Nation have the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix. They're all like this."
Song Shi's gaze shifted slightly. It seemed to be true. "In that case, mutants have long been common. However, they're not as bad as this half-human half-demon you guys made."
"It takes a long time for mutants to eliminate the negative effects of the demon beast's bloodline. We don't have time. We can only nurture these simple ones."
He said meaningfully, "Let me tell Guardian Song a secret. Guardian Qing Yu is a mutant and there are many descendants of humans and demons who are considered mutants. As for beast and demon seeds, they are not considered humans. Instead, they are half-human, half-demon and half-human, hald beasts."
Song Shi glanced sideways. "Is there really a demon here?"
"Yes. Guardian Song, please follow me."
Tian Mozi led Song Shi deeper in. Song Shi realized that the security had become even tighter. At the same time, a cold and unholy aura appeared.
This aura made him feel very uncomfortable. It was incompatible with his current spiritual qi, but Tian Mozi's expression did not change. It should be because of his cultivation technique.
Knock, knock.
Song Shi heard a heartbeat which was filled with vitality. His vision turned even darker, and his eyes lit up, so that he could see.
There were fewer figures inside, but there were only 20 of them. Most importantly, they all had Nomological powers which were sealed by the Array Formation, not chains.
Swoosh!
A pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the darkness, filled with coldness.
Swoosh!
The black monkey-like figure charged at Song Shi, but it was blocked by a barrier and let out a bang.
Song Shi saw it clearly. It had black scales all over its body and shone with a metallic luster. Its nails were sharp and extremely powerful.
"You're being dishonest again. I won't give you food later."
Tian Mozi said coldly, "This is the new Guardian. Come and pay your respects."
The black-scaled monkey stared at Song Shi, "I hate how his strength make me feel."
"What is this? It doesn't look like a human, nor does it look like a ghost. It's also not an ordinary beast."
Song Shi asked curiously.
"It's a demonic seed, or a demonic monkey."
Tian Mozi introduced, "At the end of the ancient era, the Demon Saint Relocated and opened the plane channel, bringing many living beings of the Demon Realm here. Later on, the invasion failed. The Sky Demon Saint was suppressed by the Heaven Breaker Sword Sage with heavy injuries. The living beings of the Demon Realm were either killed or managed to escape. The remaining survivors were hence one of the ancestors."
"Heaven Breaker?"
Song Shi had a strange expression on his face. "This is the name of the person that targeted at the Sky Demon Saint, right?"
Tian Mozi was speechless. "I don't know, but Guardian, your train of thoughts really know how to jump around. I was still talking about the devil seed."
"It's just a group of survivors from the demon realm. They're just rare and 'protected' now since so many of them have been killed. There's nothing else to talk about."
Song Shi's words made Devil Monkey grimace in anger. He jumped up and wanted to bite someone, but he was stopped by the Array Formation.
"You don't look very smart. If you didn't have an Array Formation, I would have slapped you to death if you dared to shout at me."
Song Shi stared coldly at the demonic monkey.
The latter's body trembled, and he restrained his movements in fear and secretly retreated.
"Most of these demonic seeds are passed down from the union of living beings in our world. They have the same problem as those Orcs and mutants. They are very irritable and aggressive, but they are more stable than Orcs and are second only to mutants."
Tian Mozi explained. He did not think that there was anything wrong with Song Shi's terrorisation of the Devil Monkey. In his opinion, these demon seeds were not allowed to provoke powerhouses. If it were him, he would not be so polite to Devil Monkey.
"That's why we have to study them more and find a way to make them calm and obedient."
A rather feminine voice came from the depths. Then, a young man with a snow-white face who looked like he had not seen the sun for many years walked out. It made Song Shi want to release the Supreme Yang True Fire to 'roast' some color into him.
This person had a fair and beardless face, a feminine temperament, and strange pupils. He looked like a poisonous snake and his cultivation level was also at the Nascent Soul realm. However, he had just reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and was about the same as Song Shi.
"Elder Qi."
Tian Mozi cupped his fists and introduced him to Song Shi. "This is our Sky Demon Cult's Elder Qi Changying, who is in charge of researching the otherworldly demonic seed."
"Guardian Song, I've long heard of you."
Qi Changying looked deeply at him. "I wonder if Elder Song is interested in taking out your bloodline to study it. I believe it will nurture a powerful mutant."
"Not interested. Not only am I not interested, I want to destroy this place."
Song Shi said bluntly.
Qi Changying was dissatisfied. "The things here can save us some lives. Could it be that Elder Song likes to rush to the front line and take risks?"
"Yes, that's what I like," Song Shi replied with a smile.
Qi Changying choked and snorted. "We don't get along well. Guardian Song and I have nothing to say. I will return to studying the Demonic seeds. Many Demonic seeds have been taken away recently. We have to nurture them again."
Song Shi glanced at the area and realized that it was indeed empty. There was only a cold and unholy aura pervading the air. It should be the power that the demonic seed needed to absorb.
"I want to cultivate for a while right now. Guardian Song, please take a look by yourself."
Tian Mozi was agitated by Song Shi and wanted to try to form his Nascent Soul. If he succeeded, it would be much easier to attack Jinzhou.
Seeing that he was not well-liked, Song Shi was happy. He walked around freely. The more he looked, the more he wanted to destroy this place.
"Many of the demonic seeds have been taken away. It doesn't seem like they're preparing to attack Jinzhou in advance. Instead this matter has something to do with their headquarters. I have to find an opportunity to go to the headquarters and see if there's a chance to kill the Sky Demon Saint and destroy this Sky Demon Cult from it's roots."
Song Shi was thinking about how to use the contract to infiltrate the Sky Demon Cult and get rid of the trouble he had released.
He did not like the darkness underground. When he came outside, his entire body emitted a golden light and turned into a sun. Countless lights gathered towards him and condensed into Supreme Yang True Fire.
He circulated the Nine Yang Divine Technique, and nine suns floated around him. Coupled with the fact that his body was glowing, it was as if ten suns had arrived in the sky, wanting to destroy this world.
At this moment, the power of the Nine Yang Divine Technique combined with his Divine Body was displayed, and he was becoming more and more incompatible with the Sky Demon Cult underground. No one would have thought that he would actually become the Sky Demon Cult's Guardian.
Song Shi began to multitask. He circulated the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Pure Yang Scripture, the Acalanฤtha Body, the Imperishable Golden Body, and the Ethereal Sword God Technique. He was still comprehending the Void Sutra. n0๐ฃโฏ๐๐๐๐ท.๐ 0๐
Not only that, he took out a black and white feather. A rich power of Yin and Yang spread out. It was the Kun Peng True Feather that he had taken out. It contained the aura of laws and was beneficial for him to comprehend the Yin Yang Dao and increase his Nascent Soul realm.
While he was cultivating, a group of people had secretly sneaked over. They looked at Song Shi, who was like the Sun God, in shock and looked at each other.
"What's going on? The intelligence didn't mention this?"
"Should we make a move today?"
"Report it first. The higher-ups will decide."

The group of people had no choice but to stop and wait for orders. They did not dare to advance anymore.
Because the light in front was too dazzling, it was simply blinding. If one was too close, it was easy to reveal their tracks.
"General, there's an unknown powerhouse ahead."
Behind him, the scout respectfully reported to a burly figure.
"I'm not blind. I can see that."
The general of the Qian Dragon Army's Mad Dragon Division, Ma Deyao, was a little depressed. Originally, he had received news that the strongest person in the Sky Demon Cult's lair, Qing Yu, had secretly left and was about to bring people to launch a sneak attack at night. Why did another powerful character appear?
This guy's aura was majestic, like a great sun in the sky. Even from so far away, he felt pressured. His strength was definitely not simple.
"His strength is too open and aboveboard. I've never heard of such a person in Sky Demon Cult, but it's unlikely that he's Sky Demon Cult's enemy. Otherwise, why would he cultivate at their doorstep?"
Ma Deyao knitted his brows and cursed, "Damn it, we've led an army for thousands of miles. Are we going to make a wasted trip?"
He looked at the woman dressed in martial arts at the side and said politely, "Princess, what do you think we should do? Should we inform His Majesty?"
"General Horse, His Majesty took the risk to mobilize one of the eight groups to destroy one of Sky Demon Cult's arms. How can you chicken out at the last minute?"
An old man in an official uniform beside the woman berated with a dissatisfied expression.
He was the number one cultivator of the Jinzhou government, Li Datong. His metal-elemental spells were quite powerful, and he had once firmly suppressed the head of the Ye family.
"That's right. This is a rare opportunity. We can't miss it. Otherwise, they will attack."
The new head of the Ye Family agreed. They were all local cultivators and naturally did not want the Qian Dragon Army to retreat at this time.
"Why aren't you guys sure that this is a trap set up by Sky Demon Cult?"
Ma Deyao said coldly, "Qing Yu's whereabouts are mysterious, and it has always been difficult to lock onto him. How did we get the news of his departure this time?"
Li Datong retorted, "General Horse, you're wrong. There are times when humans are negligent. Moreover, do you not believe the top-secret information that I, a Jinzhou cultivator, exchanged my life for?"
"That's enough."
The woman spoke, and everyone fell silent.
She was dressed in men's clothes, and she looked like she had red lips and white teeth. She had a heroic aura, and it could be said that she was a woman and a man.
"This person's aura is a little familiar. He might be an old friend. If it's really him, it might be a good thing."
Wuxi's eyes erupted with Will-O-Wisp. Her vision was extremely terrifying as she looked at the sun in the distant night sky. Because of this person's existence, the surrounding fifty kilometers was illuminated with light.
"Princess, you know this person?" Ma Deyao was surprised.
"You've seen him before too."
Wu Xi said meaningfully, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go over and make contact."
"Princess, you can't. It won't be good if it's a trap."
Ma Deyao was a little worried.
"My eyes can't be wrong. I'm confident. Wait here. Without my orders, don't act rashly."
Wu Xi shook her head and took a step forward. She turned into a shadow and disappeared.
Ma Deyao frowned and widened his eyes in an attempt to see the figure in the blinding light. In the end, his eyes turned dry and he felt like he was about to be blinded by the light.
"General Horse, don't be nervous. The Princess's Heavenly Spiritual Eye can see the nine heavens above and the nine hells below. It shouldn't be wrong."
Li Datong comforted him.
"I hope it's not a trap. The princess has a noble status and is involved in a big matter. Nothing can happen to her. You and I must be ready to help at any time."
Ma Deyao said seriously.
Li Datong asked curiously, "Could it be that the rumors are true? Princess used marriage as a condition in exchange for that person's help?"
When the new head of the Ye Family heard this, his expression turned ugly and he snorted. "What Perfected Immortal Lord? I think he's just a spineless coward on both sides. One moment, he's in the Demon Cult, and the next moment, he's betraying them."
"The Ye Family Head has a lot of resentment."
Ma Deyao glanced at the latter. "I heard that this Perfected Immortal Lord has a feud with your Ye Family. However, let me give you a piece of advice. This person has remarkable abilities and is already at the Nascent Soul realm. His strength can even fight against the Soul Transformation cult master of the Sky Demon Cult. You're not his match at all."
The new head of the Ye Family's expression changed and revealed a look of fear. Back then, that person had made the Ye Family suffer a loss when he was still at the Golden Core realm and killed the previous head of the Ye Family. Not to mention that the other party was already at the Nascent Soul realm now, he really did not have any confidence.
"Is this person really as powerful as the rumors say? Is he the reincarnation of an immortal?"
Li Datong asked curiously.
"I saw it with my own eyes. As for whether he's the reincarnation of an immortal or not, he has such strength at such a young age so he should be. Otherwise, he wouldn't have improved so quickly."
Ma Deyao nodded.
On the other side, Wu Xi stuck close to the ground and weaved through the vegetation. The closer she got to the abandoned mine, the fewer plants there were. The light became brighter and brighter, and her speed also decreased.
She stopped in front of the mine and hid behind the weeds. She glanced at the artificial sun in the sky. The runes in her eyes flickered, making her look mysterious.
"That's him. Why is he here?"
When she muttered, she actually received a response.
"I'd like to know why you're here."
Swoosh!
A small human face appeared in front of her out of thin air, startling her. She almost took out her Dharma treasures and threw them at it.
Upon closer inspection, this face looked exactly like Song Shi's. However, it had shrunk a lot and looked like a doll.
This was Song Shi's Nascent Soul. He sensed that someone was approaching and saw that it was Princess Wuxi, so he used a Nascent Soul to meet her.
Wu Xi exhaled. "I didn't expect you to discover me first. If I knew then I wouldn't have gone out to see you."
"Oh, Princess Wuxi misses me, so she came to look for me?"
Song Shi smiled mockingly. His entire Nascent Soul seemed to have fused into the Void and could not be seen clearly.
"Who's looking for you? I didn't even know you were here."
Wu Xi rolled her eyes at Song Shi.
Song Shi was just joking. He teleported behind Wuxi and looked into the distance with interest. "Just come. Why did you bring so many people here? Are you preparing to launch a sneak attack on the Sky Demon Cult's stronghold?"
"That's right. After knowing that the Qing Yu Guardian has left, we're prepared to launch a sneak attack and destroy this stronghold to eliminate the threat of the Golden State."
Wu Xi nodded. "Jinzhou is rich in ores and is the main source of raw materials for Great Qian's weapons. We can't lose it."
"Oh, looks like you guys are taking it seriously. It's a pity that you fell into their trap. They deliberately gave you a chance. There's still a Guardian here," said Song Shi after some thought.
Wu Xi's expression changed slightly. "Really? How did you know?"
"Because I'm that Guardian." Song Shi laughed strangely and sized up Wuxi with ill intentions.
The latter felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously wanted to retreat. A restraining force descended, making her unable to move. n0๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ.๐0๐
Song Shi reached out and touched her cheek, "Don't be afraid. I'm very to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex."
Wu Xi frowned as her eyes rolled and she quickly calmed down. "That's not right. You're just going against the Sky Demon Cult, how can you be their Guardian?"
"He used my family's lives to threaten me and asked me to sign a contract. I have to be a Guardian."
Song Shi looked like he had no choice.
Wu Xi's face darkened. "How could this be!"
She cursed in her heart. If Song Shi was here, it would be even more dangerous than Qing Yu.
Just as she was about to think of a way to inform Ma Deyao not to save her, she realized that Song Shi's smile was strange. Her eyes lit up. "No, this matter is definitely not that simple."
Report chapter Comments
Song Shi smirked. "Of course it's not simple. Now that you've become my captive, I can play with you however I want."
Wu Xi looked into Song Shi's eyes. "You're not such a person."
"What am I like then?"
Song Shi was interested.
"A shameless and despicable scum who likes to bully women?"
Wu Xi's eyes shone brightly. "Since you're willing to sign a contract for your family and be controlled by the Sky Demon Cult, you're definitely not a scum."
Song Shi retreated ten feet, crossed his arms, and curled his lips. "How boring. I didn't scare you. I wanted to see your pale face."
Wu Xi heaved a sigh of relief. "I didn't misjudge you. Young Master, what are your plans?"
"What can I do? Naturally, I'll pretend not to see you."
Song Shi shrugged. "I'll pretend to leave for a while. Do whatever you need to do."
Wu Xi and the others came at the right time. Even without him making a move, there was still a chance to destroy this godforsaken place.
"Aren't you afraid of the contract backlash?"
Wu Xi was astonished. "Based on what I know, Sky Demon Cult Guardians have to sign a contract of darkness to prevent anyone from betraying them and harming Sky Demon Cult's interests. If their cult master finds out about this, he can directly use the power of the contract to destroy your soul."
"Doesn't matter."
Song Shi did not care at all. He pointed at Wuxi's glabella. "Don't resist. I'll tell you the topographic map of the mine and some important nodes. I hope you kill more of these guys possible."
He directly sent the most precious map and other information to Wuxi. The latter's pretty face became stunned.
This was akin to gaining a free lunch. With this internal map, wouldn't it be as easy as entering an uninhabited place during a sneak attack?
She looked at Song Shi in a daze. "Did you deliberately become their Guardian so that you can break into the enemy's ranks and help us eliminate them?"
"No, I was forced to join. As for this matter, I was just playing around."
Song Shi chuckled. "I'll leave immediately. Whatever happens will depend on your performance. No actually, I'll change my appearance and follow you later. That'll be more interesting."
With that said, Song Shi's main body in the sky retracted his Nomological power and the light quickly disappeared.
He turned around and left without saying a word.
When the people in the mine sensed that Song Shi had left, no one dared to have any objections.

Sky Demon Cult headquarters.
Qing Yu took out the dark contract and respectfully handed it to Demon Venerable Yu Hua.
"I didn't expect him to be willing to sacrifice his freedom to sign this dark contract for a few ants."
Demon Venerable Yu Hua looked at the dark contract in surprise and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.
If Song Shi dared to harm the Sky Demon Cult, he could trigger the power of the contract with a thought and destroy the other party's soul.
As for the restrictions of the contract, they were just a few mortals after all. Even if their Sky Demon Cult didn't make a move, they wouldn't suffer any losses.
On the contrary, the Perfected Immortal Lord was at his disposal and it was not a problem for him to kill him.
"Sect Master, I've already deliberately revealed the news of my departure. Great Qian will definitely not miss this opportunity. It's a good opportunity to test if this Song Shi is obedient and loyal."
Qing Yu smiled.
"Sure. Soon we'll know if he'll become an obedient dog for me to teach."
Demon Venerable Yu Hua sneered.
Qing Yu was slightly displeased upon hearing these words. The other party said that Perfected Immortal Lord was a dog. Then wasn't he the same?
He changed the topic, "I wonder how the Demon Saint's injuries are, do you want more demon seeds?"
"There's no need. The Demon Saint's injuries are not something that these mongrel demons can help with. He still has to rely on himself. On the contrary, we can't lose too many demonic seeds. Otherwise, Great Qian will find an opportunity to counterattack."
Demon Venerable Yu Hua shook his head.
"With the Demon Saint around, what's there to be afraid of? Even if they have a slight advantage for the time being, the outcome will not change."
Qing Yu did not mind.
"You're thinking too simply. I think the Demon Saint doesn't seem to have much interest in our world anymore. He might not help us."
Demon Venerable Yu Hua's words were shocking.
Qing Yu was stunned. "No way. Didn't the Demon Saint want to rule this world back then?"
"That was then, this is now."
Demon Venerable Yu Hua frowned: "My guess is that he has achieved some comprehension in his current realm and is very likely confident in stepping into the next realm. It's impossible for us to help him break through here. It's even quite difficult for him to recover to his peak."
"What!"
Qing Yu was shocked. "If that's the case, we really have to think about it at length."
โฆ
"Die!" n0๐ฃ๐ข๐ต๐ข๐ ๐.๐0๐ถ
A loud shout broke the silence of the night.
The dense army of cultivators rushed into the mine and coordinated seamlessly. They directly attacked some key nodes and broke the Array Formation, catching the Sky Demon Cult cultivators off guard.
They didn't expect the Jinzhou cultivators to attack them after being defeated time and time again.
They did not expect an elite like the Qian Dragon Army to be mobilized. Before they could react, more than half of them had been broken through.
In the secret chamber, Tian Mozi, who was holding his breath and trying to break through the bottleneck in one go, was interrupted by the changes outside and almost went into Qi Deviation.
He was shocked and furious. He lost his demeanor and cursed, "F*ck, who gave them the guts to come and launch a sneak attack? Who gave them the guts?! Even if Guardian Qing Yu isn't around, I'll make sure they're unable to bear the consequences of failure."
Furious, he walked out of the secret chamber. With a thought, he immediately fell silent and revealed a shocked expression.
"Tian Mozi, the Qian Dragon Army is here. I don't know where the new Guardian has gone. We can't hold on with our strength. We have to consider leaving."
Qi Changying walked over, his face looking even paler.
BANG!
A corpse was thrown over.
"Do you think you can leave?"
With a cold laugh, Ma Deyao led his men over and blocked their path.
Beside him were Princess Wuxi, Li Datong, and Qian Wuji. Be it in terms of numbers or strength, they had the advantage.
Tian Mozi revealed a look of fear. "You're really willing to send an army of cultivators over. Aren't you afraid that our sect will take the opportunity to attack the Imperial City?"
"Go ahead. You're welcome."
Qian Wuji did not care at all.
"I'll kill you and rush back immediately. It's not a big problem."
Ma Deyao held a Mace-shaped Dharma treasure and locked onto Qi Changying. "You pervert, I've long wanted to smash you to death. Die."
Qi Changying's face twitched as he charged forward in a frenzy. He twisted his body nimbly to dodge the impact.
With a loud bang, a huge pit was formed in the cave. If not for the Array Formation Power stabilizing it, it might have collapsed on the spot. "Little demon, die too."
Li Datong held a jade sword and didn't help Ma Deyao. Instead, he charged at Tian Mozi.
This kid was the candidate for the future leader of the Sky Demon Cult. Killing him in advance could also eliminate a source of trouble.
Both of them had an advantage. Even if Tian Mozi was a genius, he could only dodge Li Datong, who was at the Nascent Soul realm. Not to mention that there were two people watching from the side, the pressure on the two of them was huge.
Qian Wuji crossed his arms and watched the show. "Tian Mozi, work harder. This is your chance to fight someone above your level. You have to defeat him first before you have the right to fight me."
"Qian Wuji, do you really think you're so powerful?"
Tian Mozi indeed had a deep foundation, and he still had the time to reply, "If it wasn't to hide some of his strength, you might not have been the number one genius."
"Looks like you're not convinced. Come here and I'll teach you how to be a human."
Qian Wuji, who was Song Shi in disguise, beckoned with his hand.
Wu Xi rolled her eyes and sent a voice transmission note, "Can you not arouse hatred for my brother?"
Report chapter Comments
"I'm protecting the dignity of the royal family. What do you know? Hurry up and call me brother." n0๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ.๐0๐
Song Shi replied.
Princess Wu Xi pretended not to hear him, "I'll help Manor Lord Li kill Tian Mozi. If you're free, you can help General Ma."
She took out an emerald jade hairpin and injected her Nomological power into it, turning it into a green light that attacked Tian Mozi.
At this moment, Song Shi felt a strange power descend. He seemed to be pulled into endless darkness.
Among them, a message was transmitted, ordering him to immediately support the Jinzhou branch. If he disobeyed the order, he would bear the consequences.
"You came at the right time. Looks like someone informed them."
Song Shi sneered in his heart, but after waiting for a moment, he still replied with confirmation.
He was already here, so he could use his eyes to support her.
"I have to find an opportunity to go to the headquarters and see what's going on with the Sky Demon Saint."
Song Shi guessed that the reason why so many demonic seeds were transferred away was probably because the Sky Demon Saint wanted to eat the demonic seed to recover his original state. Perhaps it was building up for a chance to launch sneak attack on the Sky Demon Cult side.
After receiving his response, in the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters, Demon Saint Yu Hua sneered. "No matter how capable you are, you still have to obediently listen to my orders, right?"
"Qing Yu, attack the Imperial City immediately. Without the Qian Dragon Army, they won't be able to fully unleash their battle formation. We have to weaken their strength."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Qing Yu laughed sinisterly and led the team to attack.
"Using a group of useless mutants to attract a Qian Dragon Army and test the loyalty of a new dog is a huge gain."
Demon Venerable Yu Hua was confident of victory. He watched Qing Yu leave and stroked the dark contract, "However, I want to study the secret of this dog."
Those who didn't know the situation would think that he was really talking about a dog.
Just as he thought that he had controlled this volatile factor, Song Shi disguised himself as Qian Wuji and mixed in with the Great Qian Empire. It could be said that he was repeatedly jumped around the battles happening.
Qi Changying and Tian Mozi, who had been attacked, were in a bad state. They looked at each other and said, "It's about time."
When Princess Wu Xi heard this, she thought to herself, "Be careful, they're running away!"
The two of them each took out a token. After activating it, the surrounding Array Formation Power was released, enveloping them. At the same time, it forced Ma Deyao and Li Datong back.
"Hmph, there's no need to be in a hurry to run. My Sky Demon Cult has been operating here for many years, do you really think you can defeat us just by launching a sneak attack?"
Tian Mozi controlled the Array Formation with a calm expression and a triumphant smile. "You guys attacked so easily. Didn't you think that it might not be because of our negligence, but that the power here has already been weakened beforehand?"
Song Shi looked at Princess Wu Xi. "I told you it was a trap."
"We won't lose out either. At least we'll destroy one of their important nests."
Although Princess Wu Xi realized some bad possibilities, she did not reveal them.
"A bunch of idiots. This is just a trap that we set up. Our goal is not Jinzhou at all. Now that the Demon Saint is here, do we still need to attack the cities bit by bit?"
Tian Mozi mocked, his expression filled with arrogance.
"Oh no, are they going to attack the Imperial City?"
Ma Deyao's expression changed drastically. "How bold!"
"So what if we attack? The Imperial City is protected by a large array. The Sky Demon Saint is already weak and injured. With the ability of the Sky Demon Cult, it's impossible to break through the defensive array of the Imperial City in a short period of time."
Wu Xi maintained a calm posture. "Let's destroy them first. When the time comes, we'll just go back and help protect the Imperial City."
"Haha, naive."
Tian Mozi scoffed. "Your Great Qian has the Qian Dragon army and the Eight Demi Gods, but doesn't my Sky Demon Cult have a million demons? Now that your Qian Nation has lost one of your army, it's easy to destroy some of you even if we don't attack the Imperial City immediately."
"I told you that there were fewer demonic half-devils than us cult members here. Yet you guys still wanted to bet everything on this."
Princess Wu Xi's eyes flashed, and she instantly figured everything out.
She was still not too flustered, as if she was confident.
Song Shi was getting impatient. "Why are you wasting your breath on them? Kill them as soon as possible and go kill the Sky Demon Saint."
Tian Mozi looked at Song Shi, who was disguised as Qian Wuji. "You're too arrogant. You were taught a lesson by the Perfected Immortal Lord at the Immortal opportunity meeting because of your arrogance. I didn't expect it to be like this now. Great Qian is indeed at the end of its rope."
He held the token, and the Array Formation Power quickly changed. "I asked you to come here today because I won't let you leave easily. All of you can be trapped in the mine and eat dirt."
The next moment, the Array Formation Power changed, and the ground immediately shook. With a rumbling sound, a large number of cracks appeared in the mine, and all the exits began to collapse.
"Quickly stop him from controlling the Array Formation!"
Princess Wu Xi said anxiously.
"My sister, don't be anxious. Watch how Brother breaks this Trapping Array."
Light flashed in front of Song Shi as the Void squirmed. Three array flags appeared and shot out like arrows.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
After breaking through the air, the array flags stabbed into Tian Mozi's surroundings like arrows. A circle of ripples was released, as if it had stuck a gear. The surrounding Array Formation Power immediately stopped changing.
The collapsed passageway also began to calm down. It did not collapse further, and the entire process came to an abrupt end.
Tian Mozi's expression stiffened. He increased the infusion of Nomological power, but he realized that the Array Formation still did not move. He actually could not control it anymore.
"Damn it, how can this guy have such a powerful method? The situation of the Array Formation here has never been leaked. How did he break it?"
He cursed under his breath and said to Qi Changying, "Hurry up and try. We have to trap them."
"I can't either. Most of the Array Formation Power has been blocked."
Report chapter Comments
Qi Changying tried and found that the results were about the same.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is amazing!"
Li Datong laughed. He thought that the royal family had long been prepared and used a special array flag to directly destroy part of the operation of the Array Formation.
Princess Wuxi did not say anything. This person could even break through the Heavenly Prison Array that had been operating in Great Qian for thousands of years. It was not a big deal for him to affect the operation of the Array Formation here.
Her calmness proved to Li Datong and the others that the royal family had long been prepared. Even Ma Deyao believed it, even though it was Song Shi who disguised himself as Qian Wuji and suddenly joined in the battle.
"Don't suck up anymore, kill!"
Song Shi threw out two more array flags. With a shattering sound, even the array formation's power that protected the two was broken.
He ordered coldly, "Don't hold back. Kill him directly."
The three people blocked by the Array Formation charged over again. Tian Mozi and Qi Changying's expressions were ugly as they were forced into danger.
"The Array Formation is affected by him. We're not his match. Let's split up and escape!" n0๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ.๐0๐
Tian Mozi secretly transmitted his voice. Now that something unexpected had happened, they could only choose to retreat unscathed. They no longer hoped to trap the entire Qian Dragon Army.
"I know. Let's go to our respective escape positions."
Qi Changying's face was cold as he fought and retreated. This was their home ground. Although he was obviously at a disadvantage, his life was not in danger for the time being. He had a chance to escape.
The narrow underground space did indeed restrict the battle, so Ma Deyao and Li Datong were unable to take them down for the time being.
Song Shi was not in a hurry to attack. It was mainly because it was easy to expose himself if he attacked. After all, just because they looked similar did not mean that their Nomological powers and divine powers were identical.
However, he could just influence the Array Formation from the side. This method was actually more helpful.
Tian Mozi's greatest reliance was the array formations here. Without the help of the Array Formation Power, the two of them were chased like stray dogs.
Seeing the two of them escape separately, Song Shi thought for a moment and continued to target Tian Mozi.
Since this person was the successor of Sky Demon Cult, the value of capturing him would be even greater.
The two of them, who had retreated skillfully, could not use the Array Formation anymore. They could only escape through the back door that they had left in advance, and acted separately.
"Please help us chase after that person. He's an important figure in the Sky Demon Cult's research on the demon race. If we can capture him, it will help us deal with the demon army."
Princess Wu Xi sent a voice transmission to Song Shi anxiously, asking him to help chase after the other person, not Tian Mozi.
"We can't capture them alive. They have a contract on them. It's impossible for them to reveal any core secrets to you. I think it's better to kill them directly."
"Alright, then please help Ma Deyao kill him."
After Princess Wuxi finished speaking, she followed Li Datong into a secret passage to chase after Tian Mozi.
Song Shi looked to the other side. It was as if Qi Changying had transformed into a cat. His movements were exceptionally agile, and he was about to shake off Ma Deyao.
"This guy studies hybrids every day. I bet he's a mutant himself.
Previously, he had circled the area below, but he had not only seen those monsters. In fact, he had also studied the Array Formation here. Now that he had cracked it, he could control it immediately at will and control it for a short period of time.
For example, when he formed a hand seal, the tunnel in front of Qi Changying suddenly collapsed with a rumble, sealing off his escape route.
"Damn it!"
Qi Changying's face darkened. Coincidentally, the passageway collapsed at this moment, blocking his path.
He still did not think that Qian Wuji, was actually Song Shi.
He also did not expect even this part of the Array Formation here had already been controlled and thought that it was just an unlucky coincidence.
"You can't escape. Die!"
Ma Deyao seized the opportunity to strike with his Mace. With a boom, many rocks were reduced to dust. The terrifying Illuminate caused a portion of the tunnel to collapse.
Qi Changying grunted and retreated to the edge. When he saw Qian Wuji chasing after him from afar, he gritted his teeth and formed a seal.
"Demon Spirit Transformation!"
With a low shout, his body squirmed, and a wave of dim light erupted. His clothes were torn open, and a layer of scales appeared on his body. His nails became sharp, like a wild beast.
In the blink of an eye, he actually turned into a pangolin. He lowered his body, raised his claws, and waved them quickly.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
The stone was dug open, and his body carried a special power. In the blink of an eye, he crawled into the collapsed rubble and passed through the other side.
Ma Deyao hurriedly attacked again. Other than shattering some of the rubble, he did not manage to catch Qi Changying.
Song Shi, who was following behind, was dumbfounded. "This guy can even shapeshift. He looked like a cat just now, but now he's a pangolin?"
"Your Highness, this guy has fused with the bloodline of many mutated beasts and is known as the Hundred Beast Demon Lord. I think he'll escape this time."
Ma Deyao felt a little helpless. Initially, he was pleasantly surprised that Qi Changying's path was blocked, but now, it was them who were blocked.
"Who said that? This passageway is blocked. We have other channels to go through."
Song Shi formed a hand seal and the Array Formation Power Relocated, forming a teleportation formation.
This was the basic function of many large arrays, especially in large sects. Teleportation arrays were required for convenience. The Array Formations here naturally had this function.
If he hadn't interrupted Qi Changying and company's Crowd Control Array Formation in time, the other party could have used this method to leave quickly. And if Ma Deyao and company were trapped, it would be very difficult to pursue them.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is so powerful. He actually controlled a portion of the Array Formations here so quickly, especially the teleportation formation."
Ma Deyao was overjoyed and hurriedly stood on the teleportation array.
The Array Formation Power formed a circular Teleportation Range on the ground. Then, the void twisted, and the two of them directly crossed the collapsed area through the array formation and arrived in front of Qi Changying.
Swoosh!
The two of them appeared out of thin air, startling Qi Changying.
The latter turned into a cat again, and all the fur on his body stood on end. It was obvious that he was really shocked.
"Youโฆ How can you use the teleportation array!"
He was shocked. "Even we can't use it. That's impossible!"
The authority of the teleportation array was the core function of a comprehensive Array Formation. How could it be controlled by these enemies?
Could it be that there was a mole? Otherwise, he really could not think of how such a situation could happen.
"Haha, old monster, you didn't expect this, did you?"
Ma Deyao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qi Changying's expression.
"Alright, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful infiltration here. We've underestimated you. We thought we could make you suffer a huge loss this time."
Qi Changying was so angry that he laughed. He changed his hand seals and suddenly transformed into a group of bats that flew towards the two of them.
"Trying to run again!"
Ma Deyao used his transformation divine art as well. With a stomp of his foot, a huge earthen wall rose up in an attempt to block all the bats.
However, these bats were very fast and agile. A few of them broke through the obstruction and turned into Qi Changying on the other side.
"You think you can stop me?"
Just as Qi Changying was feeling smug, he turned around and continued. With a bang, he collided with a barrier.
This barrier was formed by an Array Formation. He was completely dumbfounded.
"A mole, there must be a mole. Who is it? Come out if you dare!"
He screamed a little irrationally.
Not only was the despicable mole controlling the Teleportation Array, he even used the Trapping Array this time, it was simply impossible to open the door to escape now. It was too ridiculous.
This was definitely not something that could be done at the last minute. It must have been researched thoroughly by someone and that someone should have even obtained the formation diagram to be able to do this.
"You look angry."
Song Shi mocked, "So only your Sky Demon Cult is allowed to place spies in our Great Qian, but we are not allowed to infiltrate your Sky Demon Cult?"
He followed the other party's words and made it clear that there was a mole. He said coldly, "General Ma, you have to seize the opportunity this time. You can't let him escape again."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ma Deyao charged over. Qi Changying was no match for him and could only dodge.
He glanced at Song Shi and revealed a crazy expression as he rushed over.
Since he could not escape, he might as well kill one of them.
Song Shi chuckled and crossed his arms. He did not look flustered at all.
A barrier appeared in front of him again and blocked the latter with a bang. Then, the entire mine was enveloped by the Array Formation Power, and Qi Changying became a turtle in a jar.
He roared and could only fight with Ma Deyao.
Boom! Boom! Boom! In the blink of an eye, blood splattered everywhere. No matter how he transformed, he was no match for Ma Deyao, who was at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. With a loud bang, he was smashed into meat paste.
When Qi Changying was beaten into his final state, in the Sky Demon Cult headquarters, Demon Venerable Yu Hua's expression changed as he took out a token.
Three blood-colored words appeared on it.
There was a mole!
"What's going on? Elder Qi's Blood Soul Book was forced out!"
Demon Venerable Yu Hua frowned. Every higher-up of the Sky Demon Cult was bound by a contract and was controlled by him. Other than restrictions, he could know the life and death of all elders at the critical moment and obtain some important information.
It must be an important message from Qi Changying during a life-and-death crisis.
"Looks like they're in danger. How did this happen? Not to mention getting that new dog to help, even if they didn't, they should be able to escape unscathed!" n0๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐
Demon Venerable Yu Hua muttered. Because there was too little information and he was not present, he really did not know the exact situation.
He was bewildered. Were they still going to continue attacking the Great Qian Imperial City?
"We have to attack. There's not much time left. We have to seize this opportunity."
โฆ
BOOM!
In the underground cave, gravel flew everywhere, and there were many huge pits created by the Mace.
With the last loud bang, Qi Changying fell to the ground covered in blood. His clothes were torn, and he looked like he was out of breath.
Ma Deyao still wanted to capture this person. He said hesitantly, "Your Highness, wouldn't it be a pity to kill him directly?"
"If we don't kill him, are we going to give him a chance to escape?"
Song Shi walked over. "If you can't bear to do it, I'll do it."
Before he could get close, Qi Changying's body trembled and a ray of blood light suddenly shot out.
"Crown Prince, be careful! He's trying to possess us!"
The shrunken version of Qi Changying laughed sinisterly. "If you want to kill me, don't blame me for dragging you down with me."
He suddenly rushed into Song Shi's head and began to possess him.
The corners of Song Shi's lips curled up slightly. "You have a death wish. I don't have to do anything."
He did not look flustered at all, even though the other party had the foundation of a Nascent Soul as a possession and was far more threatening than a Golden Core.
In his spiritual world, the bright moon hung in the sky. A long sword floated in the air, shining with a resplendent light.
Qi Changying forcibly stepped in. When he saw the one-month sword, he instinctively felt fear.
"No, this doesn't look like a Golden Core Sea of Consciousness!"
He immediately sensed that something was wrong. The other party's Sea of Consciousness was incomparably stable and majestic. Why was his mental strength inferior to the other party?
Instantly, he regretted it.
He shouldn't have come in rashly. There was something wrong with this person.
At this moment, the sword hanging in the spiritual world moved.
Zheng!
The sword cry spread and shook Qi Changying's soul. Even his Nascent Soul was trembling.
Terrifying sword intent erupted, as if it wanted to destroy all the gods and buddhas in the world.
"Sword intent condensed? No, you're not Qian Wuji!"
He was shocked. He had never heard of the descendants of Great Qian cultivating such a technique.
Swoosh!
Sword light flashed, and Qi Changying's Nascent Soul was penetrated before he could react.
In the next second, Qi Changying was crushed by the sword light and his soul dissipated.
The sword that destroyed Qi Changying stopped, and Song Shi's soul appeared beside it.
"I can't even be bothered to give you a chance to possess me. Just become my nourishment."
The longsword in his hand trembled, forming a devouring power. The shattered souls in the scroll were quickly devoured, and he obtained a portion of Qi Changying's memories.
Song Shi browsed through all kinds of memories of the foreign species. There was a lot of secret information. Just as Song Shi was about to read more, a black flame suddenly appeared and destroyed some of the soul fragments with memories.
In the end, the memories that Song Shi browsed through were incomplete. It was obvious that only a specific portion of them had been destroyed by the black flames.
Fortunately, the things he browsed also had a certain value. For example, based on these memories, he could deal with those rare monsters and mutants.
After Song Shi finished absorbing it, his Spiritual strength increased significantly. "This guy has indeed studied his demonic species very deeply. He can already fuse the bloodlines of different species and cultivate the so-called Demon Spirit Transformation to achieve the goal of being able to change to anything."
The Demon Spirit Transformation was the method Qi Changying used to transform into a pangolin, a wild cat, and other foreign species. After transforming into different foreign species, he could use some Talents that corresponded to foreign species. For example, the pangolin was very good at burrowing, the cats were agile, and the bats could change their positions based on soundโฆ
"He's a talent. It's a pity that he's too obsessed with these things. His cultivation isn't enough so when he meets someone with absolute strength, he can't do anything no matter how many methods he has."
Song Shi sighed. Then, he opened his eyes, making Ma Deyao a little nervous.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Ma Deyao was worried that this person would be possessed by Qi Changying and he might have no choice but to kill him.
"He can't possess me yet."
Song Shi said coldly, "Deal with him and exterminate Tian Mozi immediately!"
"Yes."
Ma Deyao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Song Shi was indeed fine. He quickly burned Qi Changying's corpse and packed up some of his spoils of war.
"Your Highness."
He politely handed Qi Changying's Dharma treasure and storage ring to Song Shi.
"Take the Dharma treasures."
Song Shi only wanted the storage ring. They had worked hard for a while, so they should get a share of the spoils.
He activated the Array Formation's Teleportation power again and rushed to the other side.
Tian Mozi was dripping with blood. There were many bloody holes on his body, and even his heart had been pierced through. Strangely, he didn't die.
At this moment, a teleportation formation appeared in front of him. Tian Mozi, who was already on the verge of collapse, sensed that it was impossible for it to be one of his people inside.
Having made up his mind, he activated a talisman without hesitation and turned into a beam of light that tore through the air.
When Song Shi appeared, he happened to see the space crack open. A figure shot into it and disappeared. Behind him, Li Datong and Princess Wuxi's Dharma treasures pierced through the afterimage and did not leave him behind.
"He used the Teleportation Talisman to escape!"
Princess Wu Xi was a little unhappy. "We were so close. I didn't expect him to still seize the opportunity to escape."
"It's mainly because he has too many life-saving methods on him. I reckon that the person who was seriously injured just now was most likely a substitute."
Li Datong sighed. "After all, he's the likely successor of the Sky Demon Cult. Although he's only at the Golden Core realm, his life-saving means are something that even some Nascent Soul cultivators don't have."
"Normal Teleportation Talismans can't run far. I'll chase after him."
Song Shi formed a seal and was enveloped by the Array Formation Power again. He was teleported out of the mine in one breath.
He was not in a hurry to act. Instead, he closed his eyes.
The Connate Dao Body exhibited it's effect as his entire body fused with the natural world.
Recently, he had studied the Void Sutra. Although he was not qualified to control the power of space, it was not a problem to sense the spatial fluctuations within a thousand miles.
Soon, he felt something change in the void in the east. He closed his eyes and raised his hand. Blinding light gathered he quickly drew a talisman with his fingers.
This talisman was similar to the talisman Tian Mozi used to escape. It contained the power of space and could temporarily open up space to travel a certain distance.
Everyone knew that space was very mysterious. With just a little spatial power, one could cross ordinary physical obstacles and travel hundreds of miles in an instant.
However, the Void could not be seen or touched. It was illusory and could not be controlled without powerful mental strength.
In addition, for ordinary flesh and blood creatures, without powerful Defense, once they entered the depths of the space, they would be crushed by the omnipresent spatial power.
Therefore, unless one reached the Void Refinement Realm or the Void Breaking Realm, it was very difficult to control the power of space. Even if one shuttled through the Void, they had to be at the Soul Transformation Realm.
If he wanted to have the ability to travel through the Void in advance, he could only rely on external objects, such as talismans, Dharma treasures, and Array Formations. Moreover, most of them were short-distance and temporary.

The Teleportation Talisman was one of them. Heavenly treasures like the Sky Piercing Shuttle could also do it, but there was no need to use it under such circumstances.
The Teleportation Talisman was transformed from spatial runes. As the powerful Spiritual Energy contained in it erupted, the talisman was like a special lever. After prying open the space, it brought him in.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred miles had passed. The talisman lost its power and brought him out of the space.
As he fell from space, the nearby space fluctuated clearly.
After stabilizing his body, Song Shi's thoughts quickly swept out. Recently, there was a space that was still rippling like water thrown into a rock. Not far away was Tian Mozi, who was quickly escaping.
He took out a set of bow and arrow Dharma treasures. This was obtained from killing the cultivators of the Li Nation. As he drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go, a long arrow flew out with a whoosh.
Tian Mozi was naturally very sensitive to danger. Coupled with the fact that the two of them were very close, Tian Mozi felt a chill run down his spine when Song Shi attacked.
"How is that possible!"
He subconsciously dodged. One of his arms was pierced, and then more arrows shot over, blocking his path.
BOOM!
The arrow exploded and actually shattered Tian Mozi. Song Shi was surprised. He casually took it out and used it, not noticing that the arrow was special.
Seeing Tian Mozi shatter into pieces, Song Shi took a step forward and appeared at the side, still unsatisfied. He looked at the corpse and frowned. "No, his soul wasn't destroyed. This means that it's not his main body."
Song Shi had never chased after anyone before. This was the first time he had seen someone escape.
"Why do I feel like a villain?"
With this strange thought, he released more Spiritual strength to search the ground and found that there were remnants of energy fluctuations underground. This time, it was much more obscure.
"He took the opportunity to escape with the Earth Escape Talisman. He really has many tricks up his sleeve."
Song Shi nodded and smiled mockingly. "But I can draw the Earth Escape Talisman too. It's easier than the Teleportation Talisman."
Using his finger as a brush, his Nomological power as a talisman liquid, and his body as a talisman paper, he used the Heavenly Talisman Technique to outline a yellow talisman in the blink of an eye. He slapped it on his body. After the power of the talisman was activated, Song Shi plunged his head into the ground like he was diving into the water.
A circle of yellow light spread out, and the ground seemed to turn into a stream of water, allowing him to enter like a fish, following the traces left behind by Tian Mozi.
The Earth Escape Talisman's speed was not fast, but it was good at hiding. It was very difficult to detect when walking underground. Even if it was discovered, without similar methods, he would not be found.
Therefore, Tian Mozi was much more at ease. His face was pale as he looked at the shattered blood-colored doll in his hand with lingering fears. "To think that I could be caught even when he escaped with a Teleportation Talisman. Fortunately, this substitute blood puppet blocked the hidden arrow."
"You won't be able to catch up this time, right? I don't believe that you have both the Teleportation Talisman and the Earth Escape Talisman."
He sneered. These were all life-saving methods that his master had given him. He didn't believe that others had them too. Even if they did, they wouldn't be willing to use them to hunt him down.
Just as he thought that he had escaped dangerโฆ
"Golden Stone Art!"
A faint sound came from the soil. Then, a golden light appeared in his eyes and quickly spread around him. Then, the soil softened by the Earth Escape Talisman suddenly became hard.
The speed of the underground tunnel, which was not very fast to begin with, quickly slowed down. In the end, it stopped and was trapped in a rock that was as hard as metal. It was difficult to advance or retreat and was rather awkward.
What was even more terrifying was that the master who used this technique was not considered high-level, but it happened to counter his underground method.
"How is this possible? There are still people chasing after me!"
He was on the verge of breaking down. He had already used up two precious resource, so how could there still be people chasing after him? n0๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.๐ธ0๐
"Are you a dog?"
Tian Mozi cursed angrily, "What did Emperor Qian give you that you have to bite me and not let me go? You didn't even hesitate to waste precious talismans!"
He really couldn't understand it. Be it the Earth Escape Talisman or the Teleportation Talisman, they were both used for escape. It was difficult to make them, and they were very rare. They were basically used for escape. He had never seen them used for pursuit.
This fellow had used these precious talismans to hunt him down. What if he escaped in the future?
He did not expect that Song Shi did not need to escape at all, so he naturally could not understand how precious the talismans were.
Facing the furious Tian Mozi, Song Shi chuckled. "You're about to die, but your mouth is still so foul. I'll give you another chance. Run for your life."
Song Shi was not in a hurry to make a move. He wanted to see how many life-saving methods this fellow had as the successor of Sky Demon Cult.
"Qian Wuji, it's you!"
When he heard Song Shi's voice, Tian Mozi recognized him. He was furious. "You're quite generous. You're wasting your escape methods to kill me!"
He sneered. "Since you want to see what other methods I have, I'll let you see!"
He crushed the command medallion on his waist, and a black flame surged out. The power that turned the earth into metal instantly melted, and with a bang, the ground exploded as Tian Mozi was brought away by the demonic flames.
A golden light appeared on Song Shi's body. When it met the spreading demonic flames, the two of them were like opponents. They were on the spot, corroding and destroying each other.
Although the black flames were like gangrene attached to his bones, they could not stop Song Shi's endless Supreme Yang True Fire. He rushed out of the ground unscathed.
Tian Mozi, who was escaping under the protection of the black devil flames, turned around and said in shock, "Impossible. My master's Purgatory Devil Flame can easily burn Nascent Soul cultivators to death. Why are you completely fine?"
According to his estimation, even if Song Shi was not injured, he should be covered in dust and looked rather miserable.
"So this is the Purgatory Devil Flame. It seems to be quite powerful, but my True Fire isn't bad either."
Song Shi had a nonchalant expression. If Demon Venerable Yu Hua used this demonic flame here, he would definitely be at a disadvantage, Tian Mozi was not qualified.
"Hmph, then give me more!"
When Tian Mozi saw that no one else was chasing after him, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He wanted to use his devil flames to directly kill this fellow.
In his senses, Song Shi's disguise, Qian Wuji, was still at the Golden Core level, similar to him.
"You're not running? Then die."
Without waiting for Tian Mozi to make a move, Song Shi used Divine Teleportation Footwork and appeared beside Tian Mozi with a Swoosh.
The latter's pupils constricted. How could this speed be so fast?!
His fist was suffused with golden flames that quickly enlarged in his eyes. With a honglong sound, he resisted with all his might, but he was still slapped to the ground.
In the sky, Song Shi swiped his finger, and a shocking sword Qi slashed over. It followed closely, wanting to split Tian Mozi, who was vomiting blood, into two.
"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!"
The latter shouted in a low voice and dodged slightly. His arm was shattered by the sword light, and his other hand formed a seal. His destroyed hand turned into a bloody light and entered his body.
In the next second, Tian Mozi's face turned red, and his aura suddenly became stronger. However, Song Shi also used an even stronger method.
Six Demons Suppression Fist!
With a punch, it was as if tens of thousands others punched out at the same time, causing the world to sink.
BOOM!
Tian Mozi's body swelled up and he was about to explode when he was blasted into a pile of meat paste. Even his Golden Core and soul were shattered.
Song Shi clapped his hands. "So what if you have your cult master's power? I've exchanged blows with your cult master. Wouldn't it be easy for me to kill you?"
He landed beside the minced meat and burned it. He fiddled with the spoils of war and took out a secret manual.
On it was written the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.
Upon seeing this, Song Shi could not help but laugh. "Good stuff, really good stuff. I like this."
Report chapter Comments
Although he hadn't seen the full power of Tian Mozi's secret technique, he reckoned that it wouldn't be too bad.
Opening it and quickly browsing through it, Song Shi learned that this secret technique mainly relied on self-harm.
The principle was very simple. It was to use his body as the price to stimulate his potential and obtain a portion of the increase in strength.
The secret technique was divided into two parts: the Heavenly Demon Disintegration and the Heavenly Demon Self-Detonation. The former would lose an arm or a leg after using it, while the latter would explode on the spot, equivalent to a human-shaped bomb.
To others, this was something that could only be used when they were desperate. To him, it was comparable to the strongest divine power and was even more powerful than the Six Demons Suppression Fist.
Song Shi happily memorized it and decided to multitask. He immediately began to comprehend it.
He threw the other items together and put them away. Without looking at them, he turned around and returned.
On the other side, in the empty and dark hall, Yu Hua sat on a throne engraved with black flame runes with an ugly expression.
He had just received the news of Qi Changying's death through the contract and was considering who the traitor was when his disciple Tian Mozi's soul aura suddenly collapsed.
This time, he could no longer remain composed. Demonic flames danced on his body, and he was furious like a volcano that was about to erupt.
"Who killed my sect's successor? You'd better not let me catch you, or your soul will definitely dissipate!"
At this moment, a subordinate walked in with his head lowered. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly knelt on one knee and reported.
"Sect Master, everyone is ready. We're just waiting for your orders."
Demon Venerable Yu Hua's eyes turned red as he spat out a word, "Kill!"
Since Great Qian dared to kill his disciple, don't blame him for slaughtering all the trash in the royal family!
In this battle, he wanted the royal family of Great Qian to be exterminated!
Great Qian.
Qian Province.
Qian Province.
The Imperial City spanned nearly a hundred kilometers and was huge. It was not square, but eight-sided. It was built with the Eight Trigrams as the foundation and had a top-notch array formation in the world.
There was the Eight Trigrams Heaven Sealing Formation above and eight Demon Suppression Formations below, forming a perfect comprehensive Array Formation. There had never been a huge crisis in the past three thousand years.
At this moment, there was an oppressive feeling that a storm was coming. Not only had the power of the array formation in the Imperial City been activated, but the eight groups of the Qian Dragon Army were also guarding the eight directions. They were on guard and were on high alert.
Qian Wuji led his troops to replace the Berserk Dragon Tribe that had temporarily left to guard Xunmen. He looked at the vast land in the distance with a solemn expression.
"Wuxi just sent news to remind us that the Demon Cult might attack the Imperial City. I wonder if they dare to come."
He muttered, his heart heavy.
According to the latest intelligence, the Demonic Sect had nurtured many demonic species that could be used to attack the city. If that was the case, there would definitely be a bloody battle.
At the side, an eunuch walked over quickly. As he walked, he said happily, "Your Highness, General Horse and Princess Wuxi have already destroyed the Jinzhou Devil Nest and are rushing back."
"Already settled?"
Qian Wuji was surprised. That devil nest was not simple. There were at least two Nascent Soul cultivators guarding it. Even if one of them left at the last minute, it would be easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Yes, not only did he win, but he also killed the Hundred Beast Demon Lord and Tian Mozi. He gained a lot," the eunuch said happily.
"So powerful!" Qian Wuji was even more surprised. He was a descendant of Great Qian and knew how difficult it was to kill Tian Mozi, who was also a descendant of Sky Demon Cult.
"According to General Ma's letter, it's all thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's help that we were able to obtain such results."
The eunuch laughed.
"I helped?"
Qian Wuji was at a loss. When did he help Wuxi and the others attack the Jinzhou Devil Nest?
At most, he had prayed for them. It wouldn't have affected them too much, right? Perhaps Ma Deyao was flattering him?
This guy really knew how to conduct himself.
Just as he was about to ask more, the eunuch suddenly revealed a look of fear and pointed into the distance. "Your Highness, quickly look at what that is."
When Qian Wuji saw this, his pupils constricted. He hurriedly flew higher and stared into the distance.
A black cloud appeared on the distant land and approached quickly, like a storm coming.
An Unholy and tyrannical aura gushed out from the black cloud, making Qian Wuji feel suffocated.
"Enemy attack, the demons of the Sky Demon Cult are attacking!"
He shouted and reminded the guards, "Everyone, be on guard!"
Clang! Clang!
The alarm bell echoed, and the array formation in the entire city became even brighter. Countless runes circulated and danced, forming a huge eight trigram diagram in midair.
This map covered a radius of fifty kilometers and enveloped the entire Imperial City. It shook the Void and shone brightly, giving off an extraordinary aura!
The commotion was too great. Whether it was the commoners or cultivators in the Imperial City, they were all alarmed.
They walked out of the house and looked up. The blinking light shone on their different expressions, revealing all kinds of emotions.
The weak were terrified and uneasy, the cultivators were puzzled and afraid, the children who did not understand the world were crying, and the unintelligent cows, Horses, and poultry were restless.
For a moment, the Imperial City was in a tizzy. Everyone was in a state of panic.
"Heavens, what happened? I've lived in the Imperial City for more than 80 years, but I've never seen such a scene."
An ordinary old man with a head full of white hair asked the heavens, feeling that he had lived for a long time.
"Hide! We're in trouble!"
The frightened people reacted, called for their families, and ran back into the house to hide.
This was the only choice for the weak. Even if these houses were no different from paper in the eyes of the powerhouses, to them, this was the only thing that could protect them and bring them some peace of mind.
There were also people who came to a high place and looked into the distance with shocked expressions. n0๐๐พ๐๐๐๐.๐ 0๐
"The Sky Demon Cult's army is here!"
"The Imperial City is in danger!"
"However, this grand formation is not so easily breached."
The cultivators in the Imperial City were relatively calm. They more or less knew how powerful the Imperial City's Array Formation was.
"This time, they dared to attack openly. I'm afraid the situation is not simple."
"I wonder which sects have joined. The Heavenly Ghost Sect has already been destroyed. Will the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the Yao Moon Palace, and the Heavenly Poison Sect follow them this time?"
"There are demons outside. It's too late to leave now. We can only wait and see the outcome of the battle between Great Qian and the demonic sects."
"The biggest cultivator war in three thousand years is about to break out."
Many cultivators communicated in secret with the same sense of urgency.
As the Demon Cult led the demon army to besiege the Imperial City, the Imperial City, which had been peaceful a moment ago, was instantly in a tizzy and fell into chaos.
Then, the chaos quickly calmed down. The weak hid, and there were only cultivators and troops walking on the streets. A murderous aura enveloped the entire city.
In the Imperial Palace.
A deafening dragon roar sounded as a then thousand-foot-long golden dragon flew out. It was mighty and powerful.
Emperor Qian stood at the head of the dragon. Many cultivator armies quickly gathered from all directions.
"Qian Dragon Armies, and the Eight DemiGods, listen up. Kill the demons with all your might. Don't let any demons enter the city."
Emperor Qian ordered with killing intent.
"Die!"
The cultivator army shouted in a low voice. Their killing intent soared into the sky, making many people with heavy hearts feel more confident.
With such an army of cultivators around and them being the defending side, their chances of winning were higher.
In the dark, some people looked at them with ridicule. Then, they joined the resistance to assist the Demonic Sect's army.
Outside the city, dark clouds pressed down on the city. All kinds of monsters surrounded the Imperial City.
In the distance, Song Shi continued to disguise himself as Qian Wuji and was returning with the Mad Dragon Army. He was forced to stop because he saw the demon army of the demon sect.
"I was still a step too late and couldn't rush back in time."
Princess Wu Xi felt regretful.

"Isn't it good to be outside? You can fight and leave whenever you want."
Song Shi did not think so. "We can mobilize the local forces to support the Imperial City at any time outside. It's much better than being surrounded and unable to move."
He chuckled. "They're attacking the Imperial City from the front. We can stab them from the back."
Princess Wu Xi frowned. "'Brother', be more refined."
However, Ma Deyao liked such vulgar words very much. He laughed out loud. "Your Highness is wise. Now that the demonic sects are besieging us, as long as we seize the opportunity, we can break through their attacks."
Princess Wu Xi pulled Song Shi to the side and whispered, "Are you still pretending to be my big brother? You'll be exposed soon."
"Then wh sathould I pretend to be? Your husband?"
Song Shi sized up Princess Wuxi without restraint.
"You haven't killed the Sky Demon Saint yet. You can't be my husband."
Princess Wu Xi retorted. Although this man was very outstanding, she was also a princess of a country. She had her pride and couldn't be too casual.
"Then I'll go home."
Song Shi shrugged. "At least I have beauties to sleep with at home. It's too boring here."
Princess Wu Xi's face darkened. "If you want a woman, I can arrange it for you."
"You think I want any woman?"
Song Shi said disdainfully, "You think too lightly of me. I won't accept a woman I don't like unless she throws herself at me and I am forced to."
"โฆ"
Just as Princess Wuxi was about to hit someone, Ma Deyao exclaimed, "Your Highness, Princess Wuxi, bad news. The demonic sect has colluded with the demons this time!"
"What!"
Princess Wuxi hurriedly walked over. As she spoke, she discovered a group of black wolves in the distance attacking the demons.
Her pupils constricted slightly. "The demons are also involved. This is troublesome!" n0๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐.๐0๐ถ
At this moment, a wave of killing sounds sounded from the Imperial City. The demons and other races had already come into contact with the cultivators in the Imperial City. The cultivator army supported by the Array Formation Power bent their bows and shot arrows. The demon army at the front fell like wheat being cut.
"Your Highnesses, the Demonic Sects are also lurking in the dark. The Sky Demon Cult has been planning this for a long time."
Ma Deyao's heart gradually sank when he saw the situation.
"Oh no, we might have been discovered!"
Princess Wu Xi sensed a Demon Cult team flying towards them.
"It's the Yao Moon Palace. Brothers, be careful. These women are very good at bewitching men."
Ma Deyao felt as though he was facing a formidable enemy. They weren't afraid of the pain, but the lure of a beauty was another story.
And the women of the Yao Moon Palace were extremely beautiful.
However, Song Shi was affected. He still had two old friends in the Yao Moon Palace, and he had never found a chance to go back and take a look.
He did not expect to meet them here.
He looked into the distance with a complicated expression. The colorful palace-like war Dharma treasure was quickly flying towards their hiding spot.
"The Yao Moon Palace is also involved?"
Princess Wu Xi sensed that there was something wrong with Song Shi's gaze and said sourly, "Is Big Brother involved with the women of the Yao Moon Palace and can't bear to make a move?"
"I don't think so, but I do have a woman and a subordinate in the New Moon Palace. I haven't seen them for a long time."
Song Shi did not hide anything. There was no need.
"Looks like you're busy."
Princess Wu Xi teased.
"Woman, you talk too much. Do you believe that I'll sleep with you immediately and make you their sister?"
Princess Wuxi did not know how to respond to Song Shi's words.
She chose to return to the main topic. "They might not have noticed. They just happened to attack from this direction."
"It's possible. I'll go out for a walk. If they really find you guys, I can help attract their attention."
After he flew up, his original position looked like a pile of weeds. There didn't seem to be anyone around.
This was a necessary concealment method for cultivators in battle. Unless one's senses were sharp enough or they were close enough, they would not be able to discover it.
At this moment, the war Dharma treasure flying in the sky were far away. It was very difficult to discover an army of more than ten thousand cultivators hidden in the weeds on the ground. Therefore, Princess Wuxi determined that it was a coincidence.
As Song Shi flew out, he casually drew an Invisibility Talisman and disappeared in the air in the blink of an eye. He kept approaching the Yao Moon Palace's war Dharma treasure.
In the air, beside the colorful palace in the center, there were other seven-colored palaces. Song Shi could not help but think of the scene he had seen in the Yao Moon Palace.
"Isn't this the palace of the inner sect? The Yao Moon Palace actually mobilized their sect and invested a lot of resources."
Song Shi's gaze landed on the purple palace outside the colorful palace. Through the palace, he could see the intense battle in front of the Imperial City.
This direction corresponded to the Leaving Gate. The Array Formation Power turned into a huge fire and released the Fire Wall.
The demons that approached were incinerated one after another, but they did not have any intelligence. They continued to rush over to consume the Array Formation Power.
At this moment, the war Dharma treasures of the Yao Moon Palace stopped less than five kilometers away from the Mad Dragon Army, between the demon army and him.
Figures flew out of the palace and landed outside the seven monochrome palaces. Then, a large number of cultivators walked out. Most of the people were men, surprising Song Shi.
There were more than a thousand people in every single-colored palace, forming a stream of people. They were led by the cultivators to land behind the demon army and slowly move towards the Imperial City.
It was obvious that when the demon army failed to attack, it would be these people who would attack.
"Cannon fodders?"
Song Shi was not in a hurry to appear. He secretly swept his divine thoughts over and chuckled. He did not go to the palace but chased after the cannon fodders.
He realized that most of these cannon fodders were haggard. Their eyes were dark, and they looked like they were in a daze.
"This isโฆ kidney deficiency! These guys are probably Furnaces to the Yao Moon Palace!"
He could tell the identities of these people. Just like how he was nurtured as a Furnace by Liu Ruxue in the beginning, most of them were also Furnaces of the disciples and elders of the Yao Moon Palace.
He even sensed the same aura from hundreds of people and couldn't help but click his tongue. "This is the real Sea King. He raised more than a hundred Furnaces alone. Impressive, awesome, really impressive."
Song Shi wanted to curse.
This was the first time he understood the demonic nature of the Yao Moon Palace. If the Sky Demon Cult produced anomalies, the Heavenly Corpse Sect reared corpses, the Heavenly Ghost Sect reared ghosts, and the Heavenly Poison Sect played with poison, then the Yao Moon Palace was a freaking Furnace factory.
No wonder it was classified as a demonic sect.
He glanced at the Furnaces brought down by the disciples and elders of the Yao Moon Palace. There were more than ten thousand of them. He wondered if these were all the Furnaces of the disciples of the Yao Moon Palace.
These Furnaces were all cultivators. Their Spiritual origins were severely depleted, and they only left behind a little origin. They were most suitable to be used as cannon fodders.
However, among the cannon fodders in the Furnace, there were also some normal cultivators. Some of them were wearing chains and shackles, and most of them were prisoners.
Some of them were not. They were normal people.
He frowned and looked at a burly man with a slightly sunken forehead who was holding a long saber. The latter's face was dark, as if he had been tricked.
Old Liu's expression changed drastically as he looked at the tragic scene in the distance. He could not help but curse, "Damn it, that Ximen asked me to come here to earn big money. But isn't this just f*cking courting death? I'm not earning anymore."
When Song Shi heard this, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. "This guy's brain is still not working well. He was actually tricked into being a cannon fodder?"
Report chapter Comments
However, when he thought about how this guy had foolishly revealed that he had gone to a brothel back then, it seemed normal.
"You're lucky that I happened to be here. Otherwise, you would really have died."
Song Shi chuckled.
In the Furnace Army, the charming woman beside Old Liu muttered, "Can we still retreat now?"
A fair-skinned cultivator in the sky swept his gaze over. "Idiot Liu, shut up. Do you want to die early? Is this the time to chicken out?"
Boom!
The array in the distance shot out fireballs one after another. With a loud bang, a large number of them were killed, causing the entire ground to tremble.
Mei Niang was shocked, and her lips trembled. "This is too scary. What should we do? With our strength, if we really go up, we'll probably die in less than 15 minutes."
"If I'm unlucky, I might die in a few breaths."
Old Liu smiled bitterly. "It doesn't matter if I die. You have to live."
He gritted his teeth. "Forget it. If we really attack later, take the opportunity to escape. I'll back you up."
Old Liu surveyed his surroundings and decided to become a deserter.
"What are you two thinking? Do you want to run?"
Ximen Le could tell from Liu Li's eyes that this guy wanted to escape. He sneered. "The two of you, leave the team immediately and go to the front to investigate the situation."
"Damn it, Ximen Le, you're deliberately targeting us. You tricked us into coming here just to make us cannon fodders!"
Liu Li was furious, "You're using your position to take revenge on me!"
"I didn't ask you to be the first to go. I'm only asking you to investigate the situation. How are you the cannon fodder?"
Ximen Le sneered.
The expressions of the other Furnaces and prisoners only changed slightly. They had no choice, unlike Old Liu, who was free and had such a huge reaction.
"We're not like those monsters who aren't afraid of death."
Liu Li gritted his teeth. "Ximen Le, let Mei Niang leave. I'll stay."
"Do you have a death wish? It's not up to you to decide whether you want to leave or not. Do you really think I won't dare to touch you just because you're related to Liu Ruxue?"
Ximen Le's eyes narrowed. He found an opportunity to kill and was very eager to attack.
"How dare you disturb the morale of the army. I'll use the two of you as sacrifices!" n0๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐.๐0๐ถ
He made a hand seal and pointed. The white belt at his waist turned into a soft sword that released a sharp aura as it attacked Mei Niang.
"You're going too far. I, Old Liu, will battle you to death!"
Old Liu did not expect this person to want to kill them directly. He angrily took out a blood axe and transformed his Genuine Qi into a roaring elephant. He slashed at the soft sword with an indomitable aura.
Clang!
The blood axe struck the soft sword, but the blood light on it was shattered by the sword light. A huge force surged over and shattered the elephant phantom, causing him to stagger back with a flushed face.
Even though he had reached the late-stage Connate realm, he was still no match for Ximen Le, who was at the Foundation Establishment realm.
"Old Liu!"
Mei Niang hurriedly supported Liu Li. In a moment of desperation, she turned around and spouted nonsense. "Ximen Le, aren't you afraid of Old Liu's master? I heard that Young Master Song even injured the Heavenly Demon Saint!"
"Haha, are you fools? How can the Perfected Immortal Lord, Young Master Song, be the master of this fool? That kid is long dead."
Ximen Le felt like he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "You're still fantasizing even at the brink of death. You're pitifully silly."
Only the higher-ups of Great Qian and the demonic sect knew about Song Shi's true identity. Ximen Le, a disciple, did not have the qualifications to know about it, so he naturally did not know the situation.
Not only him, but Mei Niang also knew that she said such words because she was desperate.
That person was only at the Foundation Establishment realm when he disappeared. How could he injure the Demon Saint in just a few years?
She helped Old Liu up. "Even if you're not, aren't you going to care about Miss Xue'er?"
"Hehe, so what if she's a core disciple? Am I not?"
Ximen Le scoffed. "Besides, I'm doing things according to the rules. The two of you disrupted the morale of the army and should be killed. Even if she finds out, what else can she say?"
He retracted his Dharma treasures and mocked, "Even if I don't make a move, I can still let you die. The rest of you, listen to my orders. Kill these two people who want to escape with your swords and uphold the morale of the army!"
Swish swish swish!
The others turned around and picked up their weapons coldly. They were basically people who had experienced a life worse than death or was being controlled against their will. They knew that they could live a little longer if they listened.
"Damn it!"
Old Liu scolded and pushed Mei Niang. "There's no chance. Run."
He realized that Ximen Le wanted to kill them. Whether they ran now or later, the result would be the same.
They turned around and ran, actually managing to charge out of the main group.
"You think you can escape? Ridiculous!"
As Ximen Le mocked, he completely activated his Dharma treasures. Ice-cold sword qi erupted. The sword qi was a foot long and transformed into a huge ice sword that slashed at the escaping Old Liu.
When Mei Niang saw such a dangerous attack, she did not leave. She hurriedly picked up a bell hairpin and released a barrier in front of Old Liu. Then, she activated the talismans.
Old Liu sighed. He could only use all his strength to make the Blood Axe shine brightly.
BOOM!
When the ice sword collided with the blood axe, Old Liu's True Qi collapsed upon contact. His axe was split open by the sword and fell to the ground, sinking into the soil, leaving only the axe handle.
The sword qi was still bright as it landed with a sharp edge. With a crack, it shattered the protective shield condensed by the bell Dharma artifacts and landed on the protective shield released by the talisman. It quickly slashed down layer by layer.
The surrounding people watched coldly and were not surprised.
The difference between the two sides was too great. There was no suspense in predicting what the outcome will be.
Seeing that he could not kill his opponent, Old Liu could only roar angrily and stood in front of Mei Niang with a hint of grief and indignation.
He also activated all his defensive talismans, but it only slowed down the sword light's descent. Death kept approaching.
"Damn it, I should have kept my chastity and not provoked women. Now, in order to give you a family, I've caused both of us to lose our lives."
Big Smart sighed. He did not resist Mei Niang's temptation and lost his virginity. In order to earn money to support his family, he was tricked by Ximen Le and ended up like this. He deserved it.
"When did I blame you? If he wants to kill you, he'll die even if he hides in the sect."
Mei Niang snorted. "Ximen Le, if you kill us, Miss Xue'er will avenge us."
"Hehe, her? Her Talent is about the same as mine. I'm about to break through to the Golden Core Realm. Why should I be afraid of her?"
Ximen Le snorted: "Just accept your death!"
He formed a seal with his hands and mobilized more qi. As the sword shone, it cut through the last obstacle and slashed horizontally at the two of them, wanting to kill them with one strike.
Old Liu had no other means to defend them. He could only wait for death with Mei Niang in his arms.
"In my next life, I want to be a monk and stay away from women."
He suddenly had a strange thought.
Just as he was waiting for death, the sword that was inches away suddenly stopped.
The two of them looked at Ximen Le strangely. The latter's expression was ugly, as if the other party did not show mercy.
"Who?"
Ximen Le said angrily, "Who's behind this? Come out if you can!"
"How did you know that I was playing tricks?"
Song Shi's mocking voice rang out, causing Old Liu's eyes to widen.
"This voiceโฆ this voice is?"
Old Liu was filled with anticipation.
Ximen Le, however, misunderstood and flew into a rage out of humiliation: "You imprisoned my sword, who are you to mess with me?"
"You can't even recognize my voice and still have the cheek to target my servants because of me?"
Song Shi appeared at the side and did not touch Ximen Le's sword. Clearly, he had imprisoned Ximen Le's Dharma treasure from afar.
"It's you!" "Impossible!"
Ximen Le retreated in fear, looking at this man in disbelief.
Report chapter Comments
Wasn't this person supposed to be missing? Furthermore, he had been kidnapped by a Golden Core cultivator. He should have been squeezed dry long ago and definitely wouldn't have survived.
Even if there were rumors that this person had been possessed, he shouldn't have appeared here just to save a dog.
What was even more unacceptable was that the other party could stand in the air. He was probably already in the Core Formation realm. This made Ximen Le green with envy.
"I love the look of shock on your face."
Song Shi admired Ximen Le's reaction and looked at him with disdain. "It's a pity that your status is too low. You don't even know some of the cultivation world's secrets and yet you still want to mess with my subordinates. You're too narrow-minded."
He raised his finger and a flame flashed.
"Ah!"
Ximen Le screamed as his head was cut off by a trace of sword qi. He could only watch as his headless corpse gurgled with blood. n0๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐.๐ฌ0๐
In the last moment of his life, he only saw the people around him retreat in fear. No one spoke up for him.
"Did I do something wrong? I was just casually deal with a lackey, a watch dog. How did I lose my life?"
Ximen Le was extremely indignant as he was gradually swallowed by the darkness.
Even after Ximen Le died, no one helped him. They were even more afraid.
The disciples and elders of the other teams looked at each other and carefully flew over.
"Young Master!"
Old Liu knelt in front of Song Shi excitedly. Tears welled up in his eyes, carrying the joy of surviving a calamity.
He did not expect to meet his young master when he was about to die. He thought that he would never see him again.
"You're really stupid. You were actually tricked into being cannon fodder here. You're really a Big Smart."
Song Shi expected better from him. When this guy followed him, he was already all brawn no brains. Now, he was still like this, making him speechless.
"I'm too stupid. I didn't expect Ximen Le, who usually is kind to us, to suddenly trick us."
Big Smart smiled awkwardly. "The cultivation world is full of tricks. I want to return to Silken City with you, Young Master."
"You can go back to Silken City. Now that the Song family has settled down again, you can go back and continue to be a guard."
Song Shi nodded. Big Smart was considered loyal, but he could not keep up with his improvement speed. He could only let this guy return to Silken City to retire.
"Mei Niang, hurry up and call Young Master."
Big Smart touched Mei Niang, who was still in a daze.
The latter came back to his senses and said respectfully, "Greetings, Young Master."
Song Shi nodded slightly and looked up.
Swish swish swish!
One by one, Golden Core cultivators flew over. They wore all kinds of clothes, blue, black, and red, corresponding to the different veins in the Yao Yue Palace.
In the past, Song Shi looked up to the people from the various factions, but now, these people could only look up to him.
The exchange of status made Song Shi feel especially refreshed. He directly ignored the fact that the entire sect was here and provoked, "Everyone, I killed your disciple. If you want to take revenge, please come and kill me together."
"โฆ"
"โฆ"
"โฆ"
The Golden Cores and inner sect core disciples were speechless. They had seen arrogant people before but this was the first time they met such an arrogant person.
"Are you the Perfected Immortal Lord or the seventh son of the Song family?"
Lan Yue, who was dressed in a long blue robe, sized up Song Shi in surprise and asked fearfully.
This person looked like the man he couldn't get back then.
However, his strength was too strangeโฆ Even he could not see through it. Coupled with some rumors, he really could not determine who this person was.
"If you don't make a move, I'll take my man and leave."
Song Shi was not interested in explaining. He said that he was Young Master Song in the Imperial City and did not say his name. He still had to maintain a little mystery about him.
"Sir, don't be in a hurry to leave."
A cold voice echoed in the air, and colorful moonlight scattered down. A huge colorful palace flew over, and a young girl stood on it.
This woman had a medium build and wore a colorful palace dress. She looked to be in her prime and had an exquisite appearance. However, her eyes did not look like those of a young girl. Instead, they were filled with vicissitudes and her entire body emitted an imposing aura.
"Palace master!"
The Hall Masters bowed respectfully.
This woman was the Palace master of Moon Invitation Palace. Her name was Perfected Lord Yao Yue and her cultivation had already reached perfected Nascent Soul realm. She was even stronger than the Sect Master of Heavenly Ghost Sect.
This was the first time Song Shi saw the rather mysterious Perfected Lord Yao Yue and curled his lips. "If you want to fight, just do it. Cut the crap."
Yao Yue stared at Song Shi expressionlessly, "Are you so confident that you can resist the entire Yao Moon Palace?"
"I heard that your Sun and Moon Splendor Array is quite powerful. Come, let me experience it."
Song Shi was filled with anticipation. He had not died for a long time, and he felt a little uncomfortable all over.
Perfected Lord Yao Yue sized up Song Shi and pondered for a moment. "You're indeed bold. However, losing a mere disciple isn't enough for us to use the formation on you."
Song Shi was immediately displeased. "You won't use it just because you say so? How embarrassing would that be for me?"
Many people were shocked.
What the heck is this? He killed our people, but we're not allowed to do anything?
However, Yao Yue laughed. In an instant, it was as if spring flowers had bloomed. "Since you dare to say such things, it's obvious that you're the Perfected Immortal Lord who made the Sky Demon Saint suffer. We really don't have the confidence to fight with such a powerful figure."
Song Shi thought to himself that she was really a smart woman. She did not give him a chance to court death.
Just as he was considering bringing Big Smart and Liu Ruxue away, Perfected Lord Yao Yue added, "Please come up and we'll talk. Zi Yue and Liu Ruxue are also waiting for you."
Song Shi was surprised. He did not sense Liu Ruxue's aura just now. Could it be that she was in the seven-colored main hall?
"Then I'll go see Liu Ruxue."
Song Shi had not seen this woman for a long time. He missed her and wanted to meet her.
He released his Nomological power to sweep up the extremely intelligent Mei Niang and soared into the sky in a single step. With a Swoosh, he appeared in the air from the ground and landed on the rainbow palace.
"Please."
Palace master Yao Yue personally led the way. When they entered, she stopped and said, "Please let the two of them wait outside."
"You guys can rest here."
Song Shi waved his hand and walked in alone.
After passing through the door, there was no palace inside. Instead, they arrived at a starry sky. A colorful full moon floated in the air, emitting a brilliant light.
The moonlight shone on Yao Yue's body, making her look a little dreamy.
Song Shi scanned the area with his mind, but he did not see Liu Ruxue or Zi Yue. "Where are they?"
"They're on a mission and is away I'm just looking for an excuse for you to come over and discuss something."
Yao Yue did not hide that she was here to trick Song Shi.
"Beautiful women really can't be trusted easily."
Song Shi mocked, "This is the first time we've met. Why are you looking for me?"
"Just like Zi Yue back then, Yaoyue hopes that Young Master can help me cultivate."
Yao Yue bowed to Song Shi seriously. If anyone outside saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop.
Song Shi's face twitched. "Are all the women of the Yao Moon Palace so thirsty that they all want my body and want my help in cultivation?"
At this moment, he was rather speechless. First, it was Zi Yue and Lu Yue. Now, now even Yao Yue had taken a fancy to his body. It was simply ridiculous.
"Sigh, Young Master Song doesn't know that the cultivation technique of the Yao Moon Palace has a huge flaw. If you want to cultivate Yin-type cultivation techniques, you have to have Yang-type cultivators to help you cultivate. Otherwise, it will be difficult to break through the bottleneck."
Yao Yue explained seriously, "Right now, in the Yao Moon Palace, no one can help me at all, and the cultivators outside are either not good at cultivation techniques or not strong enough. Until now, I have only found that Young Master meets the requirements. Your power is very pure, and it will definitely help me break through."

She looked at Song Shi with bright eyes. "Your cultivation technique is too suitable for my Moon Invitation Palace's Yin Stats. I hope you can help me. As a reward, I'll do anything you want."
Song Shi sneered. "What about being my Dao companion?"
He did not believe that a dignified sect master would agree to such a thing.
In the end, he miscalculated. Yao Yue actually nodded. "No problem. Previously, I felt that no man in the world was qualified to be my Dao companion. When I saw you just now, I realized that I should not resist."
"โฆ"
He couldn't deal with Song Shi anymore. Back then, he was forced to help Zi Yue. This time, she was so polite and took the initiative to please him. It was really difficult to refuse her.
He sized up Yao Yue's appearance and face. "Don't you look too young?"
"Many women like to hear your words. In fact, I'm already more than a thousand years old. If I don't break through, I might not have the chance to reach the Soul Transformation realm in my life."
Yao Yue was exceptionally calm. She was even calmer than Zi Yue, whom Song Shi had helped before. She did not have the shyness of a woman and was cool like ten-thousand-year-old ice.
"But why should I help you?"
Song Shi asked in return. Although this woman's attitude was good, he had no reason to help her, right?
"I can make Zi Yue the next Palace master and Liu Ruxue the next Palace master. I can agree to whatever you want."
Palace master Yao Yue said generously, "It's fine even if you make the Yao Moon Palace listen to your orders."
Song Shi's gaze changed slightly. It was really tempting for a large faction to listen to his orders.
"You said it yourself. The Yao Moon Palace listens to me if I help you. If you go back on your word, I'll drag you along if I die."
Song Shi said. Up until now, he had been cultivating. He did not lack all kinds of resources, but he lacked a faction. It was too troublesome to establish it himself. If someone took the initiative to send it over, he could try to make use of it.
If Yao Yue really dared to betray him after reaching the Soul Transformation realm, he had plenty of ways to kill her.
"No problem. In the future, when I Yao Yue is still in this world, the Yao Moon Palace will listen to your orders. Even if I leave, I will arrange for my trusted aides to make the decision to listen to you."
Yao Yue solemnly promised.
"You're bold. Tell me, how can I help you? Just dual cultivation?"
Song Shi seemed to be familiar with the process.
"Young Master, take a look at this Sun-Moon Brilliance Art first so you can help me better."
Yao Yue directly took out the highest inheritance in the palace. It was a golden-white ancient book. The material was special, and it was a little similar to book of the Imperishable Golden Body. It was obvious that it was a peerless divine technique.
Song Shi was surprised. "You're really generous. Letting the Yao Moon Palace listen to me, and giving me the core inheritance."
"They're just worldly possessions. Why do you care?"
It was very natural for Yao Yue to say that, showing that she was willing to give anything for the sake of the Soul Transformation realm.
She said calmly, "Moreover, if you help me cultivate, you'll be like my Dao companion. It's perfectly justifiable for me to show you these. As for listening to your orders, as long as I'm the Palace master and listen to you, won't it be equivalent to the Yao Moon Palace listening to you?"
Song Shi was stunned. That was really the case. This woman was really open-minded. As expected of someone who had lived for more than a thousand years.
"A Palace master is indeed different from others."
He praised and lowered his head to browse through the Sun-Moon Brilliance Art. He realized that it was very profound and formed a system of its own, containing many things.
This Sun-Moon Brilliance Art was actually a profound cultivation technique that cultivated the Yin Yang Dao. It contained the principle of the five elements mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. The cultivation techniques of the other branches of the Yao Moon Palace were derived from it.
"Good cultivation technique!"
His eyes lit up as he gradually became engrossed.
This cultivation technique explained the specific cultivation method of the Yin Yang Dao. As it was too profound, he could basically only choose a portion to cultivate.
He could mainly cultivate Yin or Yang.
But Song Shi felt that he could try cultivating at the same time because he had a powerful Comprehension and a Kun Peng True Feather that contained the Yin-Yang Dao runes!
The Sun-Moon Brilliance Art talked about how to cultivate the Yin Yang Dao, but it was only on paper. There was no one to observe. He had to comprehend it himself. Cultivating any one of the extremes was rather difficult.
The Kun Peng's True Feather contained the laws of Dao runes. It happened to be something that could be observed, but there was no specific cultivation method.
Now that the two happened to complement each other, Song Shi felt that there was no problem with cultivating at the same time. It might be slower, but if he entered the Beginner stage, his strength would be even stronger.
"This cultivation technique comes from the Upper Realm. If you cultivate it to the Great Mastery realm, you can touch the illusory laws. It's very profound. Over the years, I haven't comprehended more than thirty percent of it."
When Yao Yue saw Song Shi's expression, she knew that he had experienced the profundity of this cultivation technique. "There's no need to be in a hurry to master it all. Just read the Sun Chapter first. There will be plenty of time to comprehend the entire cultivation technique in the future."
"Yes, it's indeed profound."
Song Shi nodded. He first comprehended the Yang methods that he was familiar with.
He looked at it for a moment and suddenly asked, "Why did the Yao Moon Palace get involved in this war?"
"Demon Venerable Yu Hua promised to give me some benefits that would help me reach the Soul Transformation realm, so I came. However, compared to you, it's nothing."
Yao Yue did not hide anything. "We're not like the Sky Demon Cult, we don't have many thoughts about Great Qian and only do things for our own benefits. Do you want me to stop?"
"Stay here and wait for my order."
Song Shi did not ask the Yao Moon Palace to withdraw. Since they were already here, how could they not give the Sky Demon Cult a little surprise?
"Alright, I didn't want to lose too many people anyway."
Yao Yue nodded. "Looks like you're on the side of Great Qian."
"If the Sky Demon Cult is the master of justice, I can support them. It's a pity that they're even more annoying than Great Qian. I'm not willing to let them be the ruler of Great Qian."
Song Shi sneered. They were a group of demonic sects that created monsters, spread plagues, killed people like flies, and treated human lives like grass. He grew up in the secular world and had even been implicated by Sky Demon Cult before. He was born to oppose them.
"I also think that they are too extreme. If they really rule over Great Qian, it might not be better than Great Qian." n0๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ต๐๐๐.๐ฐ0๐
Yao Yue nodded. She turned around and moved her lips slightly. After making some arrangements, the entire team from the Yao Moon Palace stopped moving forward.
Not far away, Princess Wuxi saw the Yao Moon Palace team stop. She was puzzled. "What happened? Why did the Yao Moon Palace suddenly stop moving after that guy left?"
At this moment, the communication talisman on her body lit up. It was Song Shi.
"I've already taken down the Yao Moon Palace. You don't have to care what happened. Just do what you have to do."
Princess Wu Xi's beautiful eyes immediately widened.
What the hell? He could take down a big sect of the Demonic Cults just like that?
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you manage that?"
"To capture the bandits, we have to capture the leader first. After subduing their Palace master, they will naturally be obedient."
Soon, Song Shi's annoying voice transmitted back.
"โฆ"
The corners of Princess Wu Xi's mouth twitched. "Palace master Yao Yue is famous for her demeanor being like ten-thousand-year-old ice. She has never been close to men. How can she be convinced by you?"
"I have no choice. My charm is boundless. She fell for me the first time I met her. Let's not talk about it anymore. I want to dual cultivate with her. Don't disturb me."
Song Shi replied lazily, making Princess Wuxi grit her teeth in anger.
"This guy is really annoying. He deliberately said such things to anger me?"
Princess Wu Xi stomped her feet in displeasure and rolled her eyes. "No, Yao Yue definitely won't be moved just by looking at his appearance. There should be other reasons. I'll ask him in the future!"
She put away the communication talisman and said to Ma Deyao, "Don't worry about the Yao Moon Palace. Let's see how we can coordinate with the Imperial City to catch them off guard."

The war between Great Qian and the Sky Demon Cult became more and more intense. The surroundings of the Imperial City became like a meat grinder as the demons surrounding them died continuously.
However, the array formation in the Imperial City had spent a lot of energy, and its condition was not very good.
In the north of the Imperial City, coffins were neatly placed on the ground. There were thousands of them and all of them were zombies. From the outside, it looked like a mass grave.
In the west, the cultivators of the Sky Poison Sect were tightly wrapped up and taking out a large number of poisonous creatures. There were poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpionsโฆ They were densely packed and looked terrifying.
And in the east, a group of Sky Demon Cult mutants were watching the battle indifferently, as if the ones who died weren't their cannon fodder.
"Hehe, this Eight Trigrams Sealing Heaven Array is indeed powerful, but to protect such a large area, the consumption is also huge. Let's see how long they can last."
Thousand Faces had a mocking expression.
"If it were me, I would give up on the outer city and shrink the Array Formation at the cost of tens of millions of lives in the Imperial City. Then I could still resist for a while."
Lu Bingxuan's expression was cold, and his words were especially cruel. He did not treat the tens of millions of people in the Imperial City as humans at all.
"Hehe, if they really dared to sacrifice, I'll immediately turn the living people into crazy demons and attack them."
Beside him, a man with disheveled hair and a slightly crazy expression sneered.
"How dare you say that, Madman? This karma is not small. If a portion of ten million people survive, you won't be able to withstand the karma of revenge if a few rise up in the future."
Lu Bingxuan mocked.
"Isn't it just death? Just be straightforward and be done with it."
The madman didn't care at all.
"Do you think that Perfected Immortal Lord can't be killed no matter what?"
Thousand Faces retorted.
"Hmph, it's just that his substitute technique is brilliant. The Demon Seed Art I cultivate is not necessarily inferior to his."
The madman was unconvinced.
"You'll know when you see him."
Thousand Faces chuckled. Did this guy really think that his reputation was undeserved without seeing that person's ability?
"Alright, Madman, how are the fiends you planted in the city? When the time comes, we need to break through from the inside. We can only enter from the outside."
Lu Bingxuan stopped the two of them from bickering and asked about serious matters.
"Don't worry, I've already planted three thousand demons. With just a thought, I can immediately make them erupt and tear open a hole."
The madman grinned hideously. "I really look forward to when the city falls. The fear in those people's eyes is the best ingredient for planting demons."
"Once the monster army that has been accumulating for many years is brought out, this array will definitely be broken in at most a month!"
Lu Bingxuan was certain that the siege battle was basically just another fierce battle. Although the Great Qian Imperial City was impenetrable and protected by a large array, they also had a large number of foreign cannon fodders that Great Qian was afraid of. They would break through sooner or later.
He said to the other person, "Sea Maiden, go and get another team of cannon fodders."
"Yes."
The Sea Maiden was the mutant who had been saved from the Heavenly Prison back then. She had the talent to control other mutants. Otherwise, the monsters that were like wild beasts would not be so obedient.
The siege was in a stalemate. Both sides attacked and defended, and lives were being lost at every moment. It was especially cruel.
Outside the Yao Moon Palace's side, the flames of war raged outside. However, Song Shi was studying the Sun-Moon Brilliance Art with Palace master Yao Yue in the immortal palace-like rainbow palace.
With the guidance of a person who had cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, coupled with Song Shi's powerful Comprehension, Song Shi managed to reach the Beginner stage in half a day.
After another day, Song Shi raised his level to the same level as Yao Yue.
Yao Yue's expression changed. She had lived for so many years and had seen all kinds of geniuses, but none of them could compare to this person.
"Is he really the reincarnation of an immortal? Then there's no problem in following him."
She comforted herself in her heart and tried her best to maintain a calm state.
Song Shi looked at Yao Yue's young face with interest and realized that this woman had recovered from her shock after a moment. This state of mind was very impressive.
Most importantly, the other party was very quiet and did not ask any questions. Such an ice-cold beauty was really interesting, making one have the urge to conquer and change her.
He smiled playfully. "Why don't you take off your clothes and we'll get started?"
Yao Yue actually thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded. "Your level is already not inferior to mine, just a bit lower in realm, but your foundation is deeper than mine. Let's try it out."
Song Shi was speechless. "Your serious look lacks some spice."
"I also want to have more feelings, but I don't know if it's because of the cultivation technique or because I've lived for too long. I can't help but be rational."
Yao Yue smiled. In the end, she hesitated for a moment before the clothes on her body turned into a burst of colorful light and dissipated, revealing her pure white and flawless body. She was like the most beautiful piece of art.
Song Shi sized her up without holding back. He was already immortal, and his usual pleasures were nothing more than courting death or sleeping with women. He would not be so foolish as to be a devoted person to just one woman.
Under his gaze, Yao Yue finally revealed a shy expression. This was the first time in a thousand years that she had been honest with a man, and her icy heart that had been calm for many years was stirred up.
Coupled with the girl's face, Song Shi was quite satisfied with her shy appearance. He smiled and teased, "Actually, I prefer those that are more voluptuous."
"I understand. You'll see later."
Yao Yue sat cross-legged, and her entire body instantly transformed into a brilliant moon. Cold and pure Nomological power transformed into moonlight that flowed like water, like a snow fairy.
As the moonlight flowed, it reflected a circle of colorful light. Just as Song Shi was wondering why the palace was colorful, he immediately received an answer.
He was speechless. "This is very scientific. White light can be dispersed into seven colors. Can my Supreme Yang True Fire also be dazzling?" n0๐ฃ๐ข๐๐๐ ๐.๐0๐
"What's scientific?"
Yao Yue, who was sitting cross-legged in the moonlight, did not understand.
"It's just an exclamation. It's like being impressive, awesome."
Song Shi casually explained, "The Sun-Moon Brilliance Art doesn't have a way to turn the moonlight into dazzling colors, right?"
"This is a transformation technique. It can allow my power of the moon to transform into different cultivation stats. From there, I can cast spells and unleash extreme power."
Yao Yue explained, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you in the future."
"Of course. Who doesn't want colorful skin? It's just that it's too feminine."
Song Shi was a little conflicted. He wanted to show off his colorful skin, but he also felt that it was not masculine enough.
"We cultivators don't have to care about the gazes of others. As long as Young Master likes it."
Yao Yue chuckled. She did not expect this Perfected Immortal Lord, Young Master Song, who was rumored to be very annoying, to be so prideful.
"Yue'er has a point."
Song Shi was enlightened. She did not care about her face at all. Why did she have to give others the wrong impression?
Yao Yue's eyes trembled slightly. How many years had it been since someone called her Yue'er?
"Let's begin."
She suppressed her emotions. With a thought, she surrounded Song Shi like water and moonlight.
Song Shi shivered and looked at the pure white moonlight. "Is this the Grand Moon Primordial Water? It's even stronger than the Supreme Yang True Fire that I've just started cultivating."
He also formed seals. Supreme Yang True Fire surged out, completely opposite to the Grand Moon Primordial Water.
However, with the cooperation of both parties, the power of Yin and Yang did not conflict. Instead, it balanced out each other and turned into a huge Yin and Yang diagram.
As their Nomological powers fused, both parties trembled and immersed themselves in cultivation.

347 Cultivation Reversal
This was the first time Song Shi had dual cultivated with a woman of similar strength. He had never felt so refreshed before. He actually could not control himself and lost his mind.
In his previous dual cultivation, Bai Yu'er's cultivation was a realm higher than his, and Bai Xiaoqin was much weaker than him. There were more or less some flaws.
Now, it was different. Both sides had reached a perfect state. The yin and yang of the two were harmonized perfectly, secretly harmonizing with the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
Yao Yue's condition was slightly better than his, but she was also a bit more feminine. Her expression became gentle, and she no longer had a cold appearance.
In particular, Song Shi had the Connate Dao Body. He brought her into a sentient state and she gained more insight into the breakthrough.
Both sides benefited from each other. The effect surpassed their expectations.
The golden Supreme Yang True Fire and the white Grand Moon Primordial Water revolved around each other, forming a ball of water and fire. Song Shi and Yao Yue were two centers, with Yang in Yin and Yin in Yang.
The Yin-Yang Sphere emitted a dazzling light, forming a devouring power that crazily absorbed the nearby Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. The phenomenon of a Spiritual Qi vortex appeared in the outside world.
The light emitted formed a day and a month in the sky, like the sun and moon shining together. It was especially magical and extraordinary.
When the elders and hall masters of Yao Moon Palace saw this, they were all stunned.
"This is the dual cultivation phenomenon of the Sun-Moon Brilliance Art. The Palace master is actually dual cultivating with someone."
"I didn't see wrongly. Sect Master is actually dual cultivating as well. I've lived long enough to see it."
"The Palace master called that person over just now. Could he be cultivating with the Palace master now?"
Many people's expressions were extremely interesting. For a moment, they did not know what to say.
As the power of Yin and Yang converged and their states stabilized, Song Shi realized that his cultivation level was actually rising.
Previously, when he was cultivating with Bai Yu'er, his cultivation level had also increased very quickly, but it was far from this ridiculous speed. He felt like he was sitting on a rocket. Pure power kept pouring into his body. As long as he circulated the Sun-Moon Brilliance Art, he could quickly convert it into his own Nomological power.
He looked surprised. "What's going on? Even if our cultivation levels are about the same, our cultivation levels shouldn't increase so quickly, right?"
"This is because of my special Physique and my cultivation technique."
Yao Yue explained simply, "You can treat me as a good Furnace. Under the influence of the cultivation technique, our cultivation levels will be similar."
Song Shi was deep in thought. During his time in the Yao Moon Palace, he had more or less understood a little. Some people indeed had special Physiques and were very suitable to be Furnaces, just like humanoid spirit stones and medicinal pills.
In addition, the cultivation technique also had the effect of Balance. It was equivalent to him taking advantage of Yao Yue's Dharmic powers to improve himself.
He laughed. "You never cultivate with men for that reason?"
"More or less. Firstly, I haven't met anyone suitable. Secondly, if I'm cultivating with a man whose cultivation level is much lower than mine. I'm just helping him and not benefiting from it at all."
Yao Yue nodded. "Fortunately, the total amount of your magic power is not much inferior to mine, but your realm is a little lower. I should be able to help you quickly reach the advanced stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. At that time, please help me break through."
"Will this cause your cultivation level to decrease?"
Song Shi felt a little embarrassed. He had already asked for a reward, so he had to show some concern for the other party's cultivation.
"It will decrease, but I've already prepared spirit stones and medicinal pills to deal with this problem. They can make up for the consumption of cultivation."
Yao Yue said calmly.
Song Shi roughly understood that this was equivalent to two cups of different heights of water joining together. The water level would become the same.
If he did not want the water level to drop too much, he would have to pour some more water in from the outside world.
Regardless of whether he poured the water or not, his cultivation base would be similar to Yao Yue's. He had really profited a lot!
Previously, when he cultivated with Bai Yu'er, his speed was already ten times faster than normal. Cultivating for a year was equivalent to ten years, and his realm was about to break through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
However, that could not compare to the speed at which it was being poured back now. In just three days, Song Shi's aura increased greatly, and his cultivation easily reached the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
With his foundation, he would not be at a disadvantage even if he encountered a mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator.
His cultivation continued to flow backward. He saw Yao Yue taking out some medicinal pills and eating them. With a thought, he also took out some medicinal pills from his spoils of war and ate them.
The two of them were now a whole. Whether he took medicine or Yao Yue took medicine, it was actually equivalent to replenishing his energy.
Another month passed. When he had eaten most of the high-level medicinal pills that could increase his cultivation, Song Shi's cultivation broke through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. Such a fast breakthrough speed was more than a hundred times faster than his normal state.
If it was just ordinary bitter cultivation, he could advance a small realm in a hundred years. Now, he could do it in a month. It could be seen how great the benefits were.
Advanced Nascent Soul Realm was basically the limit of one's cultivation. If one wanted to reach perfection, they had to polish themselves and continue comprehending.
On the other hand, even with the help of external objects to replenish her Nomological power, Yao Yue's cultivation had still decreased by a small realm.
Song Shi felt a little guilty and said in embarrassment, "It's been hard on you."
"This is my choice. You don't have to feel burdened."
Yao Yue did not care, nor did she use this matter to make Song Shi owe her a favor.
"That's true. We're Dao companions now. There's no need to be so polite."
Song Shi chuckled. He was in a good mood.
He could farm cultivation stats through death, but how could it be faster than this?
"Dao companion."
Yao Yue was stunned for a moment, and her gaze on Song Shi became even gentler. "It's been a long time since I've had anyone close to me."
She had lived for a long time and was cultivating most of the time. Coupled with the fact that her cultivation method was rather special, she had unknowingly sealed her heart and found it difficult to get close to others.
This man who had suddenly appeared in front of her made her feel an urge that she had not felt for a long time, and she recovered a little.
"Looks like we need to bond more."
Song Shi smiled. He could roughly guess why Yao Yue was like this. Perhaps this was one of the negative effects of longevity.
The other party had lived for more than a thousand years and was already like this. If he did not die, there would be endless years in the future. It was possible that he would become as cold as Yao Yue in the future. Just thinking about it made him feel a little melancholic.
No, he had to do more things and find a few more Dao companions. Otherwise, life would be too boring.
This was not to be a playboy. It was just to prevent himself from becoming autistic without anyone to interact with. n0๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ต๐๐๐.๐ฐ0๐
Song Shi thought to himself, finding a sufficient reason for his sentimentality.
"Do you want children?"
Yao Yue suddenly said.
Song Shi was almost shocked. He was speechless. "Are you always so direct?"
"Why beat around the bush?"
Yao Yue asked curiously, "It's human nature to carry on the family line. I want to give it a try. If you don't have any objections, we can go deeper."
"โฆ"
Song Shi realized that Yao Yue was a straightforward woman, and her coldness was only an outward expression.
He flew over and hugged Yao Yue, saying with a smile, "I definitely have no objections."
The latter's body trembled, and her heart beat faster. A blush appeared on her face. "It's very difficult for a powerhouse to bear offspring. Let's just give it a try first."
"That's what I thought."
Song Shi nodded.
348 Siege
With a loud bang, something broke.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped flowing, and only the soul trembled.
The dense light entered through the crack and arrived at the hinterland.
In the sky, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the huge eight trigram diagram and it began to break into pieces.
The hearts of the cultivators guarding all directions sank. The millions of living beings in the Imperial City looked at the crack in the sky in a daze and could not calm down.
"The Array Formation is broken!"
"The Demonic Cults have really broken through the strongest defense of Great Qian."
"It's over. Doomsday has arrived. The demons will wreak havoc on the land."
Horrified voices resounded.
Under the full-strength attack of the Demonic Cults, they finally broke the array formation barrier that had been intact for more than a thousand years.
What had not happened for thousands of years was happening in front of everyone. Not many people could take it calmly.
"Damn it, there's a mole!"
An angry roar exploded in the east of the city. The general of the Qian Dragon Army, who was guarding the city, clutched his bloodstained chest. His eyes were about to pop out as he glared at the deputy general opposite him.
Just now, it was this deputy general who suddenly launched a sneak attack and led a group of traitors to destroy the Array Formation from the inside, becoming the last straw to break through the already shaky array.
If not for that, they might have exhausted all the Demonic Cult's cannon fodder in a few more days.
Now that it had collapsed in advance, everyone would be affected.
"Hehe, kill!"
The deputy general smiled sinisterly and led the other traitors and cannon fodders outside to officially attack the garrison under the protection of the Array Formation.
Without the Array Formation, the Imperial City's garrison began to suffer casualties. They retreated step by step and had no choice but to shrink the battlefront.
The people in the city fled in panic. As soon as they came out, they encountered an army of demons that was like wild beasts.
These demons had not eaten for a long time. When they saw living people, they pounced on them and bit them when they caught them.
Miserable screams reverberated. The cruelty of the war fell on everyone, and lives were lost one after another.
Fortunately, there were not many demons left. After they were scattered in the city, they were separated by the buildings.
The cultivators of the Imperial City made use of the geographical advantage and the buildings to start a sniper battle.
After a wave of attacks, the battle spread to more than half of the Imperial City. Battles were happening everywhere.
"Retreat to the inner city to defend!"
Emperor Qian's voice echoed. As for the others, they could only rely on their own abilities to protect themselves.
On the west side of the city, a group of people wrapped in cloth jumped onto the city wall with the demons. Behind them, a green poisonous smoke floated over.
On the ground, amidst rustling sounds, densely packed poisonous creatures crawled into the city as they continued forward.
The nearby cultivators who wanted to attack had just rushed out. After coming into contact with the poisonous smoke, the weaker ones foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, all of them poisoned to death.
The expressions of some of the stronger cultivators changed drastically as they hurriedly retreated.
"It's the Sky Poison Sect's poisonous smoke! Everyone, close your mouths and noses!"
"Oh no, there are poisonous bugs on the ground."
"Ah!"
Poisonous smoke mixed with poisonous insects filled the ground with blackened and poisoned corpses.
In the north, a cold wind blew, and the coffin that had been placed vertically on the ground automatically opened.
"It's dark. Come out and have a good meal."
At the front of the coffin, a voice came from a Bronze coffin. Then, figures walked out of many coffins.
Some of the figures could only jump around, their bodies were green, they were the lowest level green zombies, there were thousands of them.
Their characteristic was that they were strong and invulnerable. It was easy for them to deal with ordinary martial artists and mortals.
Zombies flew out of some coffins. They were flying bronze zombies that moved like the wind. These zombies could already move as quickly as cultivators.
Many zombies surged into the city and bared their fangs when they encountered living people. When they caught them, they would use their leeching abilities. Soon, many died as dried corpses with grievances in the outer city.
In the dark night, these dried corpses strangely began to grow long hair, and they were rapidly transforming.
In the east, the people of Sky Demon Cult advanced at a moderate pace.
"It's half a month later than expected. There's not much cannon fodder left. Fortunately, the other sects will join in. We should be able to break through the inner city in one go."
Lu Bingxuan felt that victory was in his grasp.
"Deputy Sect Master, the Yao Moon Palace hasn't moved."
A subordinate hurriedly walked over to report the abnormality.
"What's going on? Didn't they agree to act after breaking the formation? The territory will belong to whoever snatches it."
Lu Bingxuan was dissatisfied. In order to gather more people to attack Great Qian, the Sky Demon Cult promised that any territory would belong to whoever conquered it.
This attracted many factions that had long been dissatisfied with Great Qian. Many of them had joined the rebellion. There must be a problem if the Yao Moon Palace did not move.
"That woman is cultivating on the battlefield. Could it be that she can break through at the last minute?"
He revealed a mocking expression. He naturally knew about the situation in the Yao Moon Palace, but he did not have the skills or ability to interfere. He waved his hand. "Report it to the cult master immediately and let him decide."
"Yes."
The messenger immediately sent the information back.
When Lu Bingxuan led the team to continue attacking, Demon Venerable Yu Hua received the news and frowned slightly: "What is this woman doing? If they don't help attack now, they can forget about getting territory in the future."
He walked out from the shadows. Before he could go over to investigate the situation, in the south of the Imperial City, a white beam of light suddenly soared into the sky, instantly illuminating the already dark sky.
Brilliant moonlight scattered in the pillar of light, forming a huge moon in the sky. Coupled with the current night, it was as if two moons had appeared in the sky.
A powerful pressure emitted from the pillar of light and attracted the attention of the nearby cultivators.
Demon Venerable Yu Hua was stunned, "You're actually breaking through, but isn't breaking through on this battlefield meaning that you are giving others a chance to stop you?" n0๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐.๐0๐ฆ
He looked at the white light and did not approach. "It's fine if you break through. You can attract a portion of the guys to kill you. The Imperial City will be easier to deal with then."
On the Imperial City's side, many cultivators saw a bright moon suddenly appear outside the city. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was gathering crazily, and the power of heaven and earth was trembling intensely.
Such an extraordinary scene confused the cultivators who didn't know the situation. Only those who had seen Nascent Soul cultivators and Soul Transformation cultivators with their own eyes knew what it was.
In the center of the palace, Emperor Qian sat cross-legged on the dragon's head. Sensing the commotion outside, he looked over in shock. "That's the position of the Yao Moon Palace. Is that woman breaking through?"
His expression changed, "We can't have another Soul Transformation cultivator. We have to kill her."
"Old dean, are you willing to bring people over to stop her from breaking through?"
Emperor Qian looked at an old man sitting cross-legged in the distance.
The latter was the previous dean of the Qianzheng Academy. His cultivation level was not far from the Soul Transformation realm.
"I'll give it a try."
The old master opened his eyes and looked into the distance with coldness. "The Yao Moon Palace should have been eliminated long ago. We can't let them give birth to Soul Transformation cultivators."
He raised his hand and an ancient yellow ruler flew out. He grabbed it and said, "Zhengde, Zhengwu, follow me to suppress the demoness."

In the encampment of the New Moon Palace, the seven-colored palace emitted an even brighter light. A pressure that was above all living beings enveloped a radius of 50 kilometers.
A purple light flew over from afar and landed on the ground, revealing a graceful figure. It was Perfected Lord Zi Yue.
"This isโฆ"
Zi Yue stared at the seven-colored palace in shock. It emitted an aura that made her soul tremble.
To be able to make a Nascent Soul cultivator like her do this, it proved that the power inside had surpassed her realm.
"Perfected Lord Zi Yue, you're finally here. The Palace master is breaking through and needs you very much."
Lan Yue flew over and said happily.
Although the Yao Moon Palace had mobilized all their forces, they had still left powerhouses to guard the sect. Perfected Lord Zi Yue had only rushed over after receiving the news. She did not know that the Palace master had broken through so quickly.
"Palace master, why are you breaking through here? Aren't you giving the enemy a chance to destroy us?"
Zi Yue thought to herself that she was muddle-headed. When a Nascent Soul broke through to the Soul Transformation realm, even breaking through in the sect might be dangerous, let alone on the battlefield.
"The Palace master must have taken the risk to break through because of the Perfected Immortal Lord."
Daoist Priest Scarlet Moon said.
"Perfected Immortal Lord?"
Zi Yue's expression changed slightly. This person had ties with her first. How did he end up with the Palace master?
Before she could ask further, a yellow light flew out from the direction of the palace. With a bang, a large portion of the Furnace Gate guarding the periphery was destroyed. n0๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐.๐0๐ฆ
An old man and two middle-aged scholars flew out in a triangular formation and charged towards the seven-colored palace.
Behind them, a group of Confucian scholars flew over aggressively.
"Old demoness, you still want to reach the Soul Transformation realm?"
The old master, who was holding an ancient ruler and Dharma treasures, swung his beard at the rainbow palace.
The dark yellow ancient ruler rapidly expanded. He and his two students formed hand seals at the same time and injected Nomological power into it, quickly stimulating its power.
"Oh no, that old thing from the Qianzheng Academy is here with the Dharma treasure of the academy, the Mysterious Yellow Ruler!"
Spiritual Master Huang Yue, who was guarding the front line, cried out in surprise. Her expression changed drastically.
The Mysterious Yellow Ruler was a replica of an ancient Numinous treasure. It was a supreme-grade spirit artifact and was extremely powerful.
Not to mention three Nascent Soul cultivators activating it at the same time, it could basically unleash more than half of the power of this ruler. It definitely had the power to destroy the world.
"Get into formation and stop them."
Zi Yue's expression was solemn. She commanded the people of the Command Sect to resist the enemy and took out a token to activate.
Blinding light erupted from the seven-colored palace and the surrounding palaces. The Array Formations were all activated, turning into a row of moons of various colors.
Above the monochrome moon, there was a colorful moon surrounded by stars. It was an extraordinary scene.
"I hope this incomplete Nine Moons Floating Array can stop these guys."
Zi Yue still looked worried.
Their sect's array formation was mainly used to float in the air so that it was easier to absorb the power of the nine heavens' moonlight for cultivation. At the same time, it was more agile and could be moved.
As a price, it naturally sacrificed its durability and lacked of powerful defense.
Most importantly, the current array formation was incomplete. The Tribunal Council which was in charge of the sect and did not join in the array, so the Defense Effect was greatly reduced.
"I cultivate the Noble Spirit and cultivate demons to destroy evil!"
Suddenly, the Confucian scholars who had followed the old master here shouted in unison. Then, balls of Nomological power of various colors surged and condensed into a huge figure in the void.
This figure was humanoid and his appearance could not be seen clearly. He was more than a thousand meters tall and his aura was vast and boundless, like a huge god that had descended to the world. His shocking pressure was not inferior to the Dharma treasure, the Mysterious Yellow Ruler, that was activated by the three Nascent Souls.
With a casual movement, he brought up gusts of wind that filled the sky. With a step, he caused the ground to tremble. The Array Formation formed by the eight palaces seemed a little insignificant in front of him.
"It's over. They've condensed the Righteous True Body. With so many people working together, their power is comparable to that of a Soul Transformation cultivator."
Lan Yue's face turned pale. Their Yao Moon Palace was weaker than the Qianzheng Academy to begin with. At this moment, they probably could not stop the other party from destroying the Palace master's Soul Transformation.
"Attack with all your might!"
Zi Yue had no choice. She took out her Dharma treasures and led the way.
With the help of the Array Formation Power and the alliance of many disciples, they could hold on for a while and buy some time for the Palace master.
Just as they braced themselves and prepared to resist the attack, the Righteous Giant standing on the ground grabbed the thousand-foot-long Mysterious Yellow Ruler and raised it to swing it with all his might. The wind whistled like thunder and the Void distorted along the way as it smashed fiercely towards the seven-colored palace.
At this moment, Song Shi walked out with panda eyes and a weak face.
At this moment, he looked haggard and wrinkled. He looked like he had aged more than twenty years.
This was when he was helping Yao Yue break through, but he really didn't have enough resources, so he simply let Yao Yue directly absorb all the Origin in his body.
Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for him to have a chance to break through so quickly.
After his origin was devoured, Song Shi took a while to recover before he had the strength to walk out.
At this moment, he was extremely weak. Panting violently, he said, "Move aside, let me do it!"
It wasn't easy for him to find an opportunity to be beaten to death, so Song Shi naturally couldn't miss it. That was why he had risked his weak state to come out and court death.
The disciples and elders of the Yao Moon Palace, who were facing a formidable enemy, found it strange. What did this person mean? He wanted to help resist the enemy?
They glanced at Song Shi. He looked so weak. It was obvious that he was severely deficient after experiencing certain 'activities'.
In this state, even if your battle results were astonishing, are you sure you could defend?
"Song Shi?"
Zi Yue was astonished as her expression turned complicated. The person dual cultivating with the Palace master was actually this fellow.
She frowned. "Are you still fit to fight in your current state?"
Song Shi did not have time to explain. When he attracted everyone's attention, he gritted his teeth and used Divine Teleportation Footwork, instantly arriving outside the Array Formation.
The huge Mysterious Yellow Ruler augmented the power of the Righteous True Body Giant and smashed into him with an unstoppable force.
"Where did this come from?"
Song Shi's current appearance was wrinkled and not glamorous at all. The old master could not tell that this was the Perfected Immortal Lord who was in high spirits back then and fought the Sky Demon Saint alone. He sneered.
In his opinion, this person was probably a high-level Furnace of the Yao Moon Palace. He was thrown out just to stop them for a moment.
Just as he thought that the Furnace would be instantly crushed like a fly in front of the Mysterious Yellow Ruler, there was a loud bang.
The Mysterious Yellow Ruler seemed to have been hit by a huge object. It clearly stopped and even leaned back a little.
What made Old Master's pupils constrict was that there was actually a gap in the power of the Mysterious Yellow Ruler.
Song Shi did not have much strength left. His origin energy was depleted and he was no different from rotten wood.
But, his physique was still powerful. No matter what, he was still a strong rotten piece of wood similar to a decayed Numinous artifact. It was normal for him to shatter a little of the Dharma phenomenon formed by the Mysterious Yellow Ruler.
"What the hell!"
Zheng Wu, who was beside the old master, looked at the figure that shattered after the collision in a daze. He could not help but say, "A Furnace is actually so hard and not crippled by these women?"
"Something's not right. When did the Yao Moon Palace have such a powerful Furnace? Besides, I think he looks a little familiar."
Zheng De frowned.
"What is this guy doing?"
Zi Yue was dumbfounded.
"Could it be that he used his life to protect Palace master Guardian?"
Lan Yue was suddenly touched. Was this the man he could not get? He was really outstanding.
"This person is already dead. Don't care too much. Stop the old demoness from reaching the Soul Transformation realm first!"
The old master quickly restrained his surprise. The seal changed, and the Mysterious Yellow Ruler accelerated.
The people from the Yao Moon Palace also mobilized their Nomological powers and prepared for an intense collision.
Roar!
A dragon roar sounded out of thin air. Golden light shone brightly and quickly turned into a fire dragon that collided head-on with the Mysterious Yellow Ruler.
Boom!
The huge ruler was actually blocked by the fire dragon. Both sides were in a deadlock in midair. Circles of energy ripples spread out, and the Void fluctuated like water. Terrifying aftershocks swept up, making the people from the Yao Moon Palace, who were protected by the Array Formation, feel as if they were facing a storm.
"Who?"
The old master was furious, and only one of them had a death wish. Why was there another one now? Was there an end to it?
"Or am I? Are you surprised?"
Song Shi appeared behind the fire dragon. He raised his palm and Nomological power surged out like a volcanic eruption. He actually blocked the Mysterious Yellow Ruler with a palm!
Compared to the Mysterious Yellow Ruler, he was very small, like an ant comparing to an elephant. However, the fire dragon he released was more than a thousand feet long and had a very powerful explosive force.
"It's you!"
This time, Old Master recognized Song Shi. When the Sky Demon Saint had escaped, he had not made a move, but he had personally seen this person pierce through the Sky Demon Saint's body.
The others were shocked by Song Shi's strength. He was clearly only at the Nascent Soul realm, but he had actually blocked the combined attack of a group of people alone. His strength was definitely comparable to that of a Soul Transformation cultivator.
Zheng De finally knew why he felt a little familiar. Wasn't this the person who suddenly rushed out and collided with their joint attack just now?
"Perfected Immortal Lord, aren't you enemies with the demonic sects? Why are you helping them?"
Zheng Wu questioned angrily.
"I'm enemies with the Sky Demon Cult, and the Yao Moon Palace is not one of them. You guys can go back. I can guarantee that the Yao Moon Palace won't attack the Imperial City. You'd better use your strength on the other cultivators of the Demon Cult."
Song Shi said indifferently. He was already very satisfied after dying once. At his peak state, even if he did not defend, his body was comparable to Numinous artifacts. It would be very difficult to kill him if he continued fighting, so he might as well stop.
"Why should I?"
The Old Master stared at Song Shi. "Why should we believe you?"
"Because I withstood your attack alone?"
Song Shi retorted.
The old master had nothing to say.
This person's strength was much stronger than what he had seen back then. He had reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm in a short period of time. At this moment, just the fluctuation of his Nomological power made him, a perfected Nascent Soul realm cultivator, feel oppressed. No wonder he could easily withstand their attacks that surpassed the Nascent Soul realm. n0๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐.๐ฐ0๐
"I hope you can keep your promise. Everyone, retreat!"
The old master made a prompt decision.
He was very smart and knew that even if they continued to attack, it would be very difficult for them to break through the array formation of the Yao Moon Palace with this person around and many disciples.
In that case, he might as well go back and deal with the other cultivators of the Demonic Sects.
Most importantly, this person was too terrifying.
Not only was his strength terrifying, but the speed of his improvement was also too shocking.
How long had it been since the last incident? He had already advanced from the early-stage Nascent Soul realm to the late-stage. It was probably possible for him to reach the Soul Transformation realm the next time he saw him.
Who would want to offend such a person?
"Another smart man destined to live a long life."
Song Shi looked impressed.
He who understands the times is a wise man.
If this old master were to tangle with him today, he would definitely be asking for trouble. The other party also understood this, so he decisively retreated.
Seeing the people from Qianzheng Academy leave, the people from the Yao Moon Palace heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they looked at Song Shi in awe.
To be able to withstand the combined attacks of so many cultivators with his bare hands, no matter who this person was, the strength he revealed was enough to make everyone present fearful.
Song Shi retracted his Nomological power and looked into the distance. He realized that the Demonic Cults had already attacked the Imperial City.
He frowned. "Many more will have to die. In this world, it's quite difficult to survive."
"Young Master, is it really you?"
Zi Yue took a deep breath and flew over. She mustered her courage and spoke to Song Shi.
Song Shi turned his head and a dreamy woman appeared in front of him.
Her eyes were like purple crystals, and her purple dress made her snow-white skin look even more pure and exquisite. Her face was flawless, and her aura was noble. She had a cold and Enchantment aura, and her figure was graceful. She could be said to be a beauty that could cause the downfall of countries.
Normally, Zi Yue was one of the three great Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yao Moon Palace. She had a noble status and had always carried an air of nobility.
At this moment, facing Song Shi, Zi Yue was a little uneasy and nervous, afraid that something would go wrong and cause the man in front of her to misunderstand.
"It's me. Why? Don't you remember the man who once dual cultivated with you and helped you cultivate?"
Song Shi teased.
Back then, not long after he arrived at the Yao Moon Palace, this woman wanted to him to help her break through. After succeeding, he attracted the covetous eyes of all the elders of the Yao Moon Palace. In the end, he was kidnapped by the shameless old woman Lu Yue and almost lost his virginity.
This incident left a deep impression on him. After all, Lu Yue was a man.
Zi Yue's eyes revealed surprise, but there were also some complicated emotions. "I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. I haven't seen you for a few years, but your cultivation level is already higher than mine. You can even resist the Qianzheng Academy alone."
"It can't be helped. I'm the reincarnation of an immortal. There's no bottleneck for me below the immortal realm. I just need to constantly absorb power to break through."
Song Shi was indifferent.
"That's right. Perhaps only the reincarnation of an immortal can reach your level."
Zi Yue nodded, her expression becoming even more complicated.
The man in front of her was an immortal in his previous life, and she was just an ordinary immortal cultivator. The path of cultivation was long and obstructive, and each obstacle was more difficult than the last. However, the other party was equivalent to continuously recovering his cultivation. It was destined that the gap between the two of them would become greater and greater in the future.
Song Shi saw Zi Yue's bitterness and teased, "You have to work harder. I'm going to the Upper Realm soon. If you don't reach the Soul Transformation realm, you won't be able to see me in the future."
"Yes, Zi Yue will definitely follow in Young Master's footsteps."
Zi Yue revealed a look of determination. Previously, she cultivated more for the sake of living a carefree life. Now, she had an additional goal.
That was so that she could keep up with this man and not be left too far behind.
"You may leave."
She waved at the others who were curiously watching their conversation, unwilling to let the doormen know too much about them. She invited, "Young Master, how about coming to my bedroom for a chat?"
"Sure."
Song Shi also had some things to ask Zi Yue. It was not suitable to say it in front of so many people.
The two of them flew towards the purple palace before the others started discussing softly.
"I didn't expect this person to know Perfected Lord Zi Yue."
"I know. So he's the mysterious man who helped Senior Master Zi Yue form her Nascent Soul. I heard that many elders were fighting over him back then. In the end, he was secretly kidnapped by the previous Lu Yue."
"There's no news of the previous Lu Yue. He must have killed him."
"That's normal. Didn't this person claim to be the reincarnation of an immortal? I heard that he's also related to an inner sect disciple. Hehe, he's equivalent to being related to the younger generation of our Yao Moon Palace, the middle and younger generation, and the older generation. He's really impressive."

Zi Yue's cultivation level was high, so how could she not hear everyone's whispers? For a moment, it was a little awkward.
Back then, she had snatched this man from her disciple to help her cultivate. Now that the Palace master had used this man to break through, Song Shi was truly entagled with the three generations of the Yao Moon Palace.
It was the first time in the history of the Yao Moon Palace that a man had helped all three women from different generations in their cultivation.
"He's improving too quickly. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."
Zi Yue felt a little bitter. The man she had taken a fancy to was now also fancied by the Palace master. This fellow was really a precious gem.
"Actually, I want to ask you a question. This question is very important. It concerns the purity of my Dao heart."
Song Shi said righteously after entering the palace.
"Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."
Zi Yue said politely. The other party was no longer the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from before. His status was already above hers.
"You and Yao Yue aren't men, right?"
Song Shi was very concerned about this problem, especially after knowing that Lu Yue had transformed from a man. He had been thinking about this matter.
Zi Yue was stunned when she heard this. Then, she burst out laughing, looking devastatingly beautiful.
She smiled and said, "I didn't expect Young Master to care so much about this."
"Of course, I only like women." Song Shi's tone was solemn.
"It seems that Young Master knows about Lu Yue's situation."
Yao Yue guessed that Song Shi had asked this question because of Lu Yue.
Her gaze became strange as she asked curiously, "I wonder if you two have dual cultivated before?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Song Shi shook his head vigorously. "If I did, I wouldn't ask you this."
Zi Yue agreed and shook her head with a smile. "That's good. You probably haven't dual cultivated with a man. At least we're all native women. Liu Ruxue is the same. Young Master, don't worry. As for the rest, I'm not sure."
"That's good. Otherwise, it would be too disgusting."
Song Shi heaved a sigh of relief.
There were too many cultivators in this world. If a man cultivated into a woman, one might not even be able to tell.
In the future, he had to be careful when he encountered beauties. Compared to the technology in his previous life, the cultivation techniques in this world were even stranger. If he did not know, he would not be able to tell just by looking at them.
"Young Master, aren't you going to ask about Liu Ruxue's situation? She's your official Dao companion."
Zi Yue said with interest.
"I believe you won't be petty enough to target her after snatching your disciple's man."
Song Shi looked confident. After all, Zi Yue was not his Dao companion. They were just fated to dual cultivate.
He continued calmly, "She should be doing well."
"Thank you for your trust, Young Master."
Zi Yue bowed and smiled like a flower. She was in a good mood. "Xue'er is currently cultivating in the sect. I didn't let her participate in this operation. It's too dangerous here."
"Good. I don't want women I'm involved with fighting among themselves all day."
Song Shi looked satisfied and said earnestly, "You have to be united and help each other. Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up to me."
"Yes, I understand."
Zi Yue nodded obediently. At this moment, she also understood that Song Shi's improvement was too fast. She could not keep this man by her side even if she was jealous and fought with his other concubines.
After all, in the cultivation world, the difference in strength was too great. No matter how deep the relationship was, it would be affected because the two sides were not on the same level or even from the same world.
If Song Shi broke through to the Soul Transformation realm and ascended to the Upper Realm, he would be separated by a world. What was the use of being jealous then?
Since no one could get this man, they might as well spend more time cultivating with each other.
Zi Yue originally had a strong possessiveness towards Song Shi. Now, facing Song Shi's terrifying speed of improvement, it gradually turned into a motivation to increase her cultivation level.
"Thank you for your pointers, Young Master."
With her thoughts cleared, she felt much better.
"Now that we're done with the questions, it's time for us to settle our grudge."
Song Shi's expression turned cold. "In the end, you forced me to help you cultivate. You can't let this matter rest."
A faint pressure enveloped Zi Yue, and the latter's smile immediately froze. Her expression changed, and she was rather embarrassed.
Back then, she had indeed relied on her strength and did not give the other party any choice. If it were her, she would definitely have objections.
The other party's cultivation level was higher than hers now. There was a good reason for him to take revenge for this matter.
She gritted her teeth and apologized decisively. "It's my fault. Young Master, please forgive me. Please show mercy."
"No way."
Song Shi shook his head. "I'm not a gentleman. You still have to be punished."
Zi Yue was slightly relieved. If it was just a punishment, it shouldn't be too serious.
"Back then, you forced me. Now, I'll give you a taste of your own medicine."
Song Shi snorted coldly and released his powerful Nomological power. It was like a sun descending from the sky, easily suppressing Zi Yue.
Zi Yue personally felt Song Shi's terrifying strength. In front of him, she was only worthy of being a dim moon that was covered in light.
Even if she tried to resist, she realized that her strength was on a completely different level compared to the other party.
She understood that although the two of them were on the same level, the other party was completely comparable to a Soul Transformation cultivator. How could she be a match for him?
"Today, I want you to help me cultivate."
Song Shi's expression was domineering. Since he had finally met this woman again, how could he not get back at her?
Zi Yue's face turned red. She had thought that he would take revenge on her, but it turned out that he was only helping her cultivate. She could actually accept it and was even a little excited.
While Song Shi was taking revenge, Yao Yue's breakthrough was also steadily advancing.
As the Qianzheng Academy returned to the Imperial City, the old master led his men and killed his way back. He said to the Qian Emperor, "Your Majesty." n0๐ฃ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐๐.๐ฐ0๐ถ
"I know that you were blocked by the Perfected Immortal Lord."
Emperor Qian waved his hand. He was in charge of the palace and controlled the situation in all directions. Naturally, he knew what had happened outside the city.
"Since the Yao Moon Palace won't get involved in the war, we'll have one less big problem. Bring your men and deal with those zombies with all your might."
Emperor Qian adjusted his arrangements.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The old master left with his men. Although they did not stop the Palace master of the New Moon Palace from breaking through this time, they guaranteed that this Great Demon Sect would not attack. They would have more strength to deal with the other cultivators of the Demon Sect.
And
The upper echelons of Sky Demon Cult were very dissatisfied when they realized that the Yao Moon Palace did not hold back Qianzheng Academy or follow the demon army in attacking.
Behind him, Demon Venerable Yu Hua, who was not in a hurry to attack, said with a dark expression, "This Yao Yue is too insensible. She deliberately chose to break through at this time. Could it be that she wants to reap the benefits?"
He was naturally suspicious and stared coldly at the increasingly bright pillar of light in the south. "Furthermore, she's with Perfected Immortal Lord. Don't you know that he's already subdued by me?"
"Sect Master, do you want this old man to make a trip and use the contract to order this person to threaten Yao Yue?"
An old man spoke. He was Demon Venerable Yu Hua's Senior Master, Green Flame Demon Venerable, the junior brother of the previous Sect Master. His cultivation had already reached the Soul Transformation realm. However, because he had used external objects to break through, his foundation was unstable and his cultivation stopped advancing. He did not dare to take the risk to cross the Void passageway to the Heavenly Demon World, so he had stayed in the sect as an elder.
"There's something wrong with this person. Jinzhou's Demon nest was destroyed, but he didn't take the initiative to look for us. Senior Master, go and take a look. If there's anything wrong, don't stand on ceremony."
Demon Venerable Yu Hua took out the contract and decided to test Song Shi.

"I will definitely not let you down."
Green Flame Demon Venerable received the dark contract and turned into a streak of fire as he escaped.
Nascent Souls could teleport and Soul Transformation cultivators could mobilize the power of heaven and earth at an even faster speed. In a few breaths, they arrived at the south of the city from the east.
The green-black flame turned into a cloud of fire and appeared in the sky above the Moonrise Palace's encampment with an oppressive aura. The surrounding temperature rose extremely quickly, like a furnace roasting the ground.
"Here we go again. This time it looks even scarier."
"You're not going to fight again, are you?"
"Sigh, there's no peace in this chaotic world. I can't help myself."
The people who were about to rest were alarmed. All of them were a little resentful.
"Perfected Immortal Lord, come out!"
A slightly impatient berating voice came from the fire cloud, shaking the Void and making many people's ears buzz.
In the palace, Song Shi, who was pressing Zi Yue down on the bed, suddenly turned his head. "Where did this old fart come from? Are you courting death?"
He let go of Zi Yue angrily and walked out with killing intent.
"I hate it when people disturb me while I am working!"
As he cursed, Song Shi walked out of the palace. Golden light shot out of his eyes as he saw through the old man in the fire cloud.
"Who the hell are you? Do I know you?"
His blunt words made Green Flame Demon Venerable laugh sinisterly: "Song Shi, do you still remember the Contract Of Darkness?"
He took out the dark contract and pointed at Song Shi, looking down from above. "Now, this old man will order you in the name of Sky Demon Cult to immediately stop Yao Yue from breaking through and make her act honestly."
Zi Yue, who followed behind, saw the black scroll and her pupils constricted. "Young Master, could it be that they forced you to sign the Contract Of Darkness?"
These words shocked all the elders who knew about the Contract of Darkness.
"Isn't the Contract of Darkness a method used by the Sky Demon Cult to control the members of the Sect? I heard that it's very unfair."
"It can't be, right? He really signed the contract, so he has to listen to the Sky Demon Cult's arrangements. Otherwise, they can make his soul dissipate."
"What a pity. This self-proclaimed reincarnation of an immortal has just helped our Palace master break through. I didn't expect him to no longer be free."
The various elders discussed softly and felt that it was a pity. They looked at Song Shi and did not know how he would react. He would most likely submit.
"Get lost. I'm not interested."
Song Shi was in a bad mood and could not be bothered to talk nonsense with the old man, let alone listen to his orders.
"Young Master, you should know how terrifying the Contract of Darkness is, right?"
Zi Yue was a little worried.
The others did not expect Song Shi to reject him. They could not help but break out in cold sweat.
"Do you want to die?"
Green Flame Demon Venerable did not expect this person to reject him directly. The flames on his body surged towards the black scroll in his hand.
As the scroll was enveloped by the flames, a destructive force appeared on Song Shi's body. It was the green-black demonic flames burning on the scroll.
The scorching flames burned Song Shi's body and soul. The agony made Song Shi frown.
This scroll was quite strange. It could actually torture him from afar. At this moment, he felt that his soul was burning in flames. If this continued, he would rather die.
"How is it? Does the feeling of burning your body and soul feel good?"
Green Flame Demon Venerable had a smug expression.
"This is really something."
Song Shi took another look at the contract. "You have a chance to kill me now. Are you going to use it yourself, or should I force you to use it?"
His words were astonishing. When everyone thought that he would give in, he actually wanted to resist to the end.
Green Flame Demon Venerable did not expect this person to have such a reaction. He said in a deep voice, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
"If you can kill me, I lose."
Song Shi stared at the pain of the devil flames burning his body. He took a step forward, and a divine wheel appeared under his feet. The phenomenon of the six paths of reincarnation appeared around him. n0๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐.๐0๐ฆ
Above the six paths, suns condensed one after another. In an instant, nine suns appeared in the sky. Together with Song Shi himself, it looked like ten suns illuminating the six paths.
"The power of your demonic flames is not bad. Come and taste my Supreme Yang True Fire."
Song Shi raised his fist and activated the Dragon Subduing Palm. The golden flames quickly transformed into a long dragon that roared with Domineering and tyrannical power.
"You're really not afraid of death!"
Green Flame Demon Venerable narrowed his eyes. This person was actually not afraid of the Contract of Darkness at all. Could it be that he had some method to avoid the influence of the contract power?
With suspicion, he was not in a hurry to kill this person with the power of the contract. He raised his wrinkled hand and formed a seal.
"Azure Demon Form, appear!"
The green-black flames quickly transformed into a Fire Troll. It was more than a thousand meters tall and looked ferocious. Violent heat waves spread out in circles, and the power of heaven and earth was completely controlled by it.
As he retreated, the Fire Troll grabbed the Fire Dragon with its claw. The golden and black flames corroded it crazily. They were actually on par.
Song Shi was surprised. "The old thing is quite capable."
Ever since he started cultivating the Dragon Subduing Palm, his attacks were basically shock waves to all his opponents, but at this moment, it was like he was being grabbed by a snake.
Boom!
The Dragon Subduing Palm was directly crushed. The fire dragon let out an unwilling cry and turned into a golden flame that dissipated.
"Young Master, be careful. This person has cultivated an ancient Dharma divine power. His strength is above that of an ordinary Soul Transformation cultivator, and his explosive power is even stronger than that of the Qianzheng Academy."
Zi Yue reminded him.
"Transcendence divine powerโฆ"
Song Shi looked at the ten thousand-foot-tall Flame Troll with a solemn expression.
If one observed carefully, they would discover that the surrounding Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi was completely subservient to his body. Every move he made was equivalent to possessing the power of heaven and earth.
This was the ability of a Soul Transformation cultivator. They could mobilize a vast amount of the power of heaven and earth and erupt with power that far exceeded their own.
On the other hand, the Dharma Power he cultivated could further unleash this advantage and reach a state of breaking through the world's limitations.
The strength he possessed was only individual strength. If they really fought, he would probably have to unleash the strength of his nine Nascent Souls to fight.
"The little girl from the Yao Moon Palace is quite knowledgeable. This old man's Azure Demon Form is much more powerful than the incomplete Dharma Phenomenon created by the group of people from the Qianzheng Academy previously. Kid, it's not too late for you to regret and beg me for mercy immediately. Otherwise, I'll show my might and burn you to ashes!"
Green Flame Demon Venerable stood on the shoulder of the Dharma Troll with a proud expression and an abundance of confidence.
In his eyes, even if this person had some ability, he had only used trickery to injure the Sky Demon Saint. In the end, he was still a Nascent Soul cultivator and did not have much control over the power of heaven and earth. How could he fight against his Dharma Troll?
"Young Master, this old fellow is at the mid-stage Soul Transformation realm and has remarkable abilities. Why don't you come back and hide in the Array Formation first? We'll work together to block him. He won't be able to do anything to us for a while."
Zi Yue said.
"That won't be necessary."
Song Shi waved his hand and looked at the aggressive demonic image with anticipation. "Then please show your might. Don't disappoint me."
Finally, there was someone who could threaten him, especially since he had just broken through. This old man's strength was not bad. He could practice with him.
As for whether he could win or not, he would fight first. It would be best if he was accidentally burned to death.
Others could not understand Song Shi's thoughts. Seeing that he still did not retreat, they did not think highly of him.
