What If I Can't Die?

466 Profound Heaven Dragon Slaying Saber (1)

“So what if you are? Who can guarantee that you haven’t been possessed?”

The fire girl didn’t agree and said coldly, “Stand still.”

“You want me to prove my innocence again?”

Song Shi had a headache. If there was really no other way, he could choose a backup resurrection point and return to the demonic cave where he had met with the accident that teleported him away. But he was afraid that he would still be suspected.

“Give me your identity token.”

The girl, Huo Yan pointed at the token in Song Shi’s hand.

Song Shi casually threw it over. Huo Yan released his Nomological power warily and transformed into a firebird that held the token in its mouth, afraid that Song Shi would cheat.

Seeing that there was no abnormal change in the token, Huo Yan took out his token and activated it with a hand seal. The Array Formation Power in the void behind him fluctuated, and a fire ray flew out and landed on Song Shi’s token.

Song Shi’s token was activated by the line of fire. A blue light shot out and landed on Song Shi’s body to investigate.

Seeing that the other party was checking on him, Song Shi did not resist. Huo Yan also obtained some information from him and her expression softened a little. “There’s no problem with your identity for the time being, but you still need to be confined. As you’re not a member of the Vermilion Bird Palace, so you’re temporarily staying in the reception area. You’re not allowed to wander around.”

“No problem. I’m just looking for a place to crash, eat, and rest.”

Song Shi did not care.

“Keep the token and follow me.”

Huo Yan put away her identity token and returned Song Shi’s.

Song Shi hung the token on his waist and leisurely followed behind. He casually asked, “Are there any spies who can deceive the identity token?”

“Of course, but it’s more difficult because the identity token will record the Essence Spirit fluctuations of cultivators. These fluctuations are unique and difficult to disguise.”

Huo Yan nodded. “If you want to disguise yourself, you have to either have a very high cultivation level or possess someone before obtaining the token. You will also have to avoid the detection of the Heaven Observation Mirror.”

“Then there shouldn’t be any more trials of the three palaces, right?”

Song Shi retorted.

“As long as you don’t mess around, we won’t interrogate you. As for you after you return to the Black Tortoise Palace, it’s none of our business whether they interrogate you or not.”

Huo Yan activated the outer defensive Array Formation and said to his subordinates, “Continue guarding. Don’t let anything abnormal in.”

“Yes, Commander Huo!”

The few cultivators obeyed and retreated to hide again.

Huo Yan brought Song Shi to an exquisite and elegant huge palace. There were many people who were sizing up their surroundings with interest, as if they were newcomers like him.

Song Shi looked around and realized that most of them were not humans. However, from their identities, they did not look like cultivators from the Vermilion Bird Palace.

“The cultivators here are basically visitors to the Black Spirit Realm. A portion of them are also from other factions. There’s no lack of arrogant fellows among them. Don’t get into conflict with them.”

Huo Yan reminded.

“If they don’t provoke me, I’m naturally not interested in provoking them.”

Song Shi only wanted to rest and was not interested in causing trouble for the time being.

At this moment, Huo Yan received some news and said in surprise, “Your name is Song Shi, right? The feedback said that your strength at the time of the accident was at the late-stage Soul Transformation realm. It’s only been two years. How did you reach the mid-stage Void Refinement realm?”

At this point, she clearly became more cautious, worried that there was something wrong with Song Shi.

“There’s a saying that one who survives a calamity will definitely have good fortune in the future, right?”

Song Shi could only say that. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for cultivators to improve so quickly.

Huo Yan glanced sideways. “Who are you bluffing?”

“You.”

Song Shi blurted out. He saw the other party’s phoenix eyes widen and her eyebrows raise, looking like she wanted to beat him up.

He changed his words. “Uh, I’m just joking. I didn’t fool anyone. This is the truth. You can’t suspect me just because you can’t do it.”

“…”

Huo Yan wanted to hit this person. Her gaze was unfriendly. “Are all you humans so foul-mouthed?”

“I might be a little outspoken. Don’t take it personally.”

Song Shi smiled awkwardly. “Miss, how should I address you? Which race are you from?”

“Vermilion Bird Race’s Huo Yan.”

Huo Yan glanced at Song Shi. “I’ll take it that you broke through so quickly because you encountered an opportunity. If possible, go back as soon as possible. I’m worried that you’ll cause trouble for me if you stay here.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Huo. I don’t usually cause trouble.”

Song Shi smiled and said in a friendly manner, “Since we hit it off at first sight. I wonder if you can treat me to a meal?”

“Don’t swindle food and drinks here. Food and drink are extremely expensive here. At most, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay.”

Huo Yan brought Song Shi to a small building with a look of disdain. “This is it. You can buy whatever you want to eat and drink yourself. You’ve clearly abstained from eating long ago, so why are you still thinking about eating? I think you’re just trying to take advantage of me.”

“It’s nothing. I just said it casually. How about this? I’ll treat you, right? Lead the way.”

Song Shi did not believe that a meal could stump him.

“Really?”

Huo Yan sized up Song Shi. “You were only a Normal Heaven Patrolling Guard previously. Forget it. The food here is really expensive.”

The second time he was emphasized that food was expensive, Song Shi became interested. “How expensive can it be?”

“Think about it. This place is far away from the continent, and with our strength, it’s impossible for us to eat ordinary things. A meal costs at least eighteen thousand high-grade spirit stones. Do you have so much money on you?”

Huo Yan sized up Song Shi as if he was looking at a pauper. “You should stay here obediently for a few days. Think of a way to accumulate spirit stones, then take the cross-border teleportation array back.”

“Miss, you’re so kind. I must treat you even more now.”

Song Shi patted his chest. “Let’s go. I still have something to ask you.”
