"Young Master, these two things are not ordinary. You need them more."
Bai Xiaoqin did not recognize the Battle Puppet, but she could tell that the talisman was extraordinary.
"No, I don't."
Song Shi shook his head. Battle Puppets and Teleportation Talismans would only affect his courting of death.
He pinched Bai Xiaoqin's face, "Be good and hide well."
Bai Xiaoqin's face was red with happiness.
Song Shi tidied up and flew on his sword to Lu Youyou's location.
Looking at Song Shi, who was covered in flames, Lu Youyou pouted. "You are so pretentious."
She had not seen this Blood-Robed old ghost for a few days and he had inexplicably become a sword cultivator again. She naturally felt that it was strange.
"Just you?"
Song Shi said.
Lu Jiu had asked him to go to the Langya Immortal Dao Meeting of the Nine Nations held in Great Qian. Even if he was participating, he shouldn't be going alone, right?
"Dream on. No matter how powerful you are, you're only at the Golden Core realm. There will definitely be a grand elder leading the team. This time, Senior Brother Luo and Senior Master Jiang will be there. There will also be a hundred disciples and deacons attending. You, Senior Brother Luo, and I will represent the sect to participate in the trial during the Immortal Dao Meeting."
Lu Youyou's hands flew over, "Senior Master Jiang and the others should be gathering too. Let's leave quickly."
Heavenly Ghost Sect's most majestic Heavenly Ghost Hall was engraved with all kinds of evil ghosts and emitted a sinister and strange aura.
Shi Tianya, Lu Jiu, and the others were gathered at the entrance of the hall. A huge black ship floated beside them.
"Sect Master, Youyou has the Life and Death Gu in her body, is it really suitable for her to participate in this meeting?"
In the crowd, an old man with snow-white hair and beard and a face like a baby hesitated.
"There's something she needs so she has to make a trip there. Otherwise, I don't know if there will be a chance next time."
Lu Jiu explained, "However, she has a life-saving method on her, Elder Jiang, you should also be careful on the way. Although there shouldn't be any danger."
"I understand. Blood Robes as well. Isn't he also poisoned by the Gu? If he goes out, he'll be easily targeted."
Jiang Sha voiced the doubts in his heart.
"Him? Hehe, this person likes to cause trouble, but he's also very difficult to kill. I asked him to go because I wanted to attract some danger. As long as he's in danger, you all will be safe."
Lu Jiu chuckled.
"Fair enough."
Jiang Sha's eyes lit up.
"I asked Youyou to call him. He'll probably be here soon… He's already here."
Lu Jiu turned to look at Song Shi, who had arrived in front of the hall on the Fire Flying Sword. He nodded. "Blood-robed Elder, I'll have to trouble you from now on. Just get a high ranking in the trial."
This time, he had to show his face again. But he did not plan to fight for anything. After all, his sect master was not going.
"I'll try my best."
Song Shi did not comment and recalled the situation of the Immortal Dao Association that Lu Jiu told him.
This was an ancient event that was held once every one hundred years. It had been held before the establishment of the Great Qian Empire. The sects that participated basically covered the entire continent.
As for the goal, other than competing for resources in a space, it was to show their strength and resolve some disputes.
Moreover, in order for the competition to be intense enough, the various large factions would even offer a portion of treasures as a reward for the final winner.
Participation in the trial was actually also equivalent to a ticket and one had to participate to enter the meet. It was somewhat similar to the sports meet in school that Song Shi knew of. However, this was a group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators participating.
"Elder Jiang will be leading the team this time. I hope Blood Robes will cooperate with us."
Lu Jiu added, afraid that Song Shi and Jiang Sha would fight among themselves.
"Blood-robed Elder, with you taking the lead in the trial, our Heavenly Ghost Sect's performance in the Langya Mystic Realm will not be bad."
Jiang Sha smiled kindly at Song Shi. Although this Blood-Robed old ghost was not very obedient, his strength was still worthy of his recognition.
"Elder Jiang, you flatter me."
Song Shi nodded. This old man looked quite evil and his kindness contained a terrifying murderous aura. Only those who had cultivated ghost cultivation techniques to perfection would exhibit such a sight.
In fact, this old man's nickname was Perfected Lord Ghostfiend. He was as famous as Ghost Butcher and was even stronger. Now that the other two grand elders were poisoned and were not suitable to go out, they were led by him.
He had not interacted much with this person, but according to these rumors, this old man was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Now he was amiable, but who knew when he would turn into a demon.
"This guy is really good at pretending."
Luo Chi cursed. The other party was clearly also a Golden Core cultivator, but he made himself look similar to Elder Jiang and the other Grand Elders, making them look like they were a generation younger.
Hundreds of people landed on the Great Kraken Ship with the Heavenly Ghost Sect's flag. After a slight tremble, they turned into a black cloud and left.
While they were moving, a few figures outside the ghost pit opened their eyes, glanced at the Supreme Kraken Ship, and then disappeared.
Beyond the black clouds was the blue sky and white clouds. Song Shi stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the desolate Nether City below. He realized that the ship was flying south.
"Langya Mystic Realm is at the border of several countries. It makes people yearn for it."
Song Shi muttered. The Langya Mystic Realm was one of the most famous mystic realms on the surface. Rumor had it that it was left behind by the ancient Great Empire, the Langya Kingdom. It had its own space and countless treasures.
It was just that this mystic realm was too high-end. It only opened once every hundred years, and no country could monopolize it. After all parties compromised, they created an immortal path that would divide the resources inside every hundred years.
"There's someone following us."
Jiang Sha walked over and said in a negotiating tone, "Elder Blood Robes, are you interested in killing him? I remember that you need blood."
"They're too weak. They're not qualified to feed my Blood River Dharma treasures."
Song Shi said disdainfully, "Let's wait until we accumulate more."
After another half a day, there were clearly more shadows following them in the dark.
Most of these people were scouts and they followed them to grasp the movements of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
There were also those with malicious intentions.
"I'll kill them!"
Seeing that Song Shi did not move, Luo Chi snorted and was about to kill him.
"I'll leave for a while and help you deal with them."
Song Shi suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter, Blood-Robed old ghost?"
"I have something to do. I'll be in Langya Secret Realm on time before the Immortal Dao Conference."
Song Shi's figure disappeared.
Behind the Supreme Kraken Ship, there was a bang.
A flower of blood bloomed. Someone was blown up before he could even scream.
The crimson river of blood swept past, and shattered bones fell from the blood. Song Shi's blood-colored robe appeared.
His clothes were Dharma artifacts that could change colors. At this moment, coupled with the blood river that filled the sky, he looked like the Blood-Robed old ghost had reincarnated.
"Anyone who dares to follow will be killed without mercy!"
Cold words came out of his mouth, making the others stop, their gazes filled with fear.
"Blood-Robed old ghost, you dare to kill someone from the Flower Room?"
Someone questioned.
"I don't care if you're from the Flower Room or the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Why don't you take a step forward?"
Song Shi was filled with killing intent as he muttered in his heart.
This Flower Room relied on intelligence to survive. Its influence was like a spiderweb that spread throughout the country. Ordinary cultivators were rather afraid of them because at some point, their whereabouts had been deliberately sold to their enemies.
However, it was good that he had offended this faction. He was just worried that his enemy did not know that he had come out alone.
Seeing that Song Shi was so unyielding, the people who were secretly following him finally left tactfully.
Song Shi did not chase after the Supreme Kraken Ship. Instead, he left in another direction.
"Eh, this old ghost actually dares to leave alone!"
The eyes of the people hiding in the distance lit up. His whereabouts were worth a lot of money.
