199 It would be a waste not to take it (2)
“Then come. Let’s see if you, thousands of cultivators and ghosts, can keep me here.”
Song Shi laughed out loud. He originally did not want to fall out with the Heavenly Ghost Sect, but Lu Jiu had given him an interesting try, so he naturally had to acquiesce.
It would be a waste not to take ten times the compensation.
“Everyone, be gentle.”
Lu Jiu waved his hand.
Although they said that, the cultivators and ghosts who had long disliked Song Shi did not hold back and unleashed their killer moves.
For a moment, the sky was filled with attacks. Song Shi was suppressed by the power of the array above his head, and ghost head chains wrapped around his feet.
“Everyone’s so passionate.”
Song Shi smiled awkwardly. Even Nascent Souls and Martial Emperors would be killed by such dense attacks.
It would be a miracle if he was not beaten to death.
Therefore, he died an immediate death.
A certain lucky person had snatched his head. But his cultivation level should not be high as the system reward was pitifully low.
Seeing Song Shi blasted into pieces, Shi Tianya was surprised. “That’s it? There doesn’t seem to be anything special.”
Beside him, his master, Ghost Butcher, changed his expression, “No, his broken body has disappeared!”
Powerful Divine Consciousnesses swept over and carefully investigated the surroundings, but they didn’t find any traces of him.
This person seemed to have suddenly disappeared and never existed.
“You didn’t find anything?”
Lu Jiu asked.
“No, his aura disappeared along with his shattered body.”
Ghost Butcher shook his head.
“Looks like he really won the bet.”
Lu Jiu muttered, “Strange, his Dharma treasure, the Blood River, has been taken away. He doesn’t have any Dharma treasures now. How did he escape?”
“I can’t think of a way to do it. I might have to go back and check the books.”
Outside the Heavenly Ghost Sect, Song Shi appeared out of thin air.
He heaved a sigh of relief. “Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve been ganged up on by so many people. I was completely stunned just now.”
Song Shi felt fearful, “Fortunately, I can revive. Otherwise, who would be able to withstand it?”
He observed his surroundings. After confirming his location, he knew he had arrived outside.
After casting Ragnarok, he did not have enough time to escape from the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
However, he had already taken the opportunity to set up the resurrection point outside the sect.
Now, the range of the resurrection point he could set was the range of his mental strength. Before the Heaven Ghost Sect Array Formation was completely sealed, he had modified it in time.
Otherwise, he would have to use the alternative resurrection point and return to his hometown in one go.
Having cultivated a Spiritual Technique, his current Spiritual strength was far stronger than those of the same level. It could already cover nearly a hundred miles.
Therefore, he was still quite far away from the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s array formation. Of course, this sect’s range was indeed relatively large, and he was only at the periphery.
“Time to go back to get ten times the compensation!”
Song Shi grinned, double checked the directions and flew out with a whoosh.
A huge sinkhole appeared in front of them. It was about a hundred miles in diameter and was emitting a cold aura.
“It’s huge!”
Song Shi took a deep breath. He had seen tall mountains, but he had never seen such a huge pit. It looked like it had collapsed from the middle, as if the ground had collapsed.
“Is this the ghost pit of the Nether City? It indeed lives up to its reputation.”
Song Shi praised. This special terrain was only heard of in the memories of the Blood-Robed old ghost. This was the first time he had seen it. It felt especially spectacular.
He continued to fly closer and realized that Lu Jiu and the others were still searching for him in the pit near the center. They did not expect him to have escaped.
“I don’t believe he can escape!”
“He must have used some strange method to hide here so that we can’t discover him!”
“Blood-Robed old ghost, come out!”
Many people shouted nearby, thinking that Song Shi was hiding.
“I’m not a child. Do you think I’ll hide from you?”
Song Shi replied disdainfully.
Swish swish swish!
Gazes instantly gathered in the sky and landed on the figure floating outside the array. Then, their pupils involuntarily constricted and they revealed shocked expressions.
“Heavens, he’s really not dead!”
“He even escaped. He managed to escape the sect’s array formation.”
“What kind of method did he use?”
The group was flabbergasted, and they were extremely interested in Song Shi’s secret.
After all, this was the strongest life-saving method they had ever seen. It was also the most powerful escape method.
The sect’s array formation couldn’t seal him. With so many people surrounding and attacking him, he still couldn’t be killed.
What other methods did this world have to destroy him? No matter how everyone thought about it, there wouldn’t be many.
“Why are you all so enthusiastic? Why are you all looking at me?”
Song Shi crossed his arms and landed on the sect’s array formation with a smile. He was not worried that someone would control the Array Formation to attack him.
Lu Youyou was startled by the commotion midway and happened to see the other party being surrounded. Now that she was standing here unscathed, she was a little stunned.
“He’s actually so powerful. How am I going to defeat him and humiliate him?”
She felt like she had suffered a blow. The confidence in her heart dissipated and she lost her fighting spirit.
Not to mention him, Shi Tianya and the other inner sect disciples could only open their mouths and admit defeat.
Not to mention how strong this person’s direct combat strength was, even a Soul Transformation cultivator could not compare to this life-saving method.
The people who wanted to beat Song Shi up were all afraid. The discussions stopped, and the entire sect suddenly fell silent. It was a little strange.
“Haha, good move!”
Lu Jiu laughed loudly and flew up from the ground to meet Song Shi. “Blood-robed Elder, your escape technique is impressive. Even the Soul Transformation realm might not be comparable to your level right now.”
After thinking about it, he could only deduce Song Shi’s method to be a secretive escape technique or that he had possessed some powerful Dharma treasures which helped him escape.
No matter which one it was, it meant that the Blood-Robed old ghost was very threatening at this moment.
After all, it was very difficult to kill him as a target. If one rashly offended him, the revenge would be very terrifying because no one could kill him. Instead, they would be the ones constantly dying.
When the others heard Lu Jiu’s deductions, they felt that they had found the reason and heaved a sigh of relief.
The unknown was terrifying. If they couldn’t figure out this person’s escape method, they would feel uneasy.
With an escape technique as an excuse, it was still within their understanding.
“Cut the crap. Return all my things to me. That will be my reward along with ten times the compensation!”
Song Shi said impatiently. It would be a waste not to take the benefits.
“No problem. Blood-robed Elder, follow me!”
Lu Jiu politely extended his hand to lead the way and personally brought Song Shi to a tall palace.
As soon as they entered, Lu Jiu took out a black token and handed it to Song Shi, “Blood-robed elder, from today onwards, you are the grand elder!”
“Oh, I’m just a Gold Core Realm cultivator. How am I qualified to be a Supreme Elder? It’s better to compensate me with some practical benefits. I’m not interested in this kind of false reputation.”
Song Shi waved his hand.
Lu Jiu laughed heartily, “Blood-robed Elder, you’ve misunderstood. This is the position you deserve. Our Heavenly Ghost Sect respects strength. Whoever has the ability can obtain status and resources. You escaped the seal of the array and still managed to escape with ease under the siege of everyone. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators don’t even have such ability. If you don’t have the qualifications, who does?”
He continued, “You don’t have to worry about the reduction in compensation. You deserve it. This is not included in the compensation.”
“That’s better. Let’s get straight to the point.”
Lu Jiu stretched out his hand. “My storage ring and Dharma treasures.”
“Cough, some expendable things are hard to get back. Let’s compensate you with something more precious.”
Lu Jiu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it. A golden light flashed on the huge pillar in the distance, and a Spear flew over.
Lu Jiu checked the situation of the Spear and realized that there was no reaction from Song Shi.
He thought to himself, “Old Dog Ye really failed. Otherwise, his Dharma treasures would have reacted to him.”
He was certain that the other party was the Blood-Robed old ghost. He handed the Spear over. “This low-grade spirit weapon is yours. Treat it as a portion of compensation. How about that?”
“That’s more like it!”
Song Shi’s eyes lit up. Back then, when he saw Ye Wenzhong use this Spear, he felt that it was very domineering and mighty.
He grabbed it and a heavy feeling surged over. He asked, “Is this a low-grade spiritual artifact?”
“A genuine low-grade spirit artifact is something that even ordinary Nascent Souls would find difficult to possess. Don’t think that just because you encountered a few Numinous artifacts in the ruins of the Myriad Poison Mountain’s Holy Gu Sect that this thing is common. In fact, it’s still very rare, even I only have one too.”
