Chapter 486: Lockdown (1)
Song Shi knew that there was still a long way to go. He was not in a hurry and left the Fallen God Valley with Fu Yuhua.
Fu Yuhua was unhappy. "Since we found a few 'cockroaches' so soon. It means that there's already a nest of them here. We have to get our disciples to be on guard."
He took out an emerald-green jade book and handed it to Song Shi. "Brother Song, this is my Dian Cang Sword Sect's heritage. Learn it directly. I only need you to protect my Dian Cang Sword Sect for a thousand years. If there's really a calamity, you don't have to live or die with the sect."
Song Shi was stunned. "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the sword technique and slip away?"
"You're not like that."
Fu Yuhua shook his head. "I believe you're a man of your word."
Although the excessive consumption of spirit stones for cross-border teleportation was related to Song Shi, he could completely go back on his word and not give it to him. However, he used the Divine Teleportation Footwork to make up for it. This was enough to prove that Song Shi was not an irresponsible person.
"Just based on what you said, I won't stand by and do nothing when the Dian Cang Sword Sect is in trouble."
Song Shi accepted it with a smile. At the same time, he asked curiously, "Since we're too close to the Fallen God Valley and are in danger, why don't we move?"
"Sigh, the sect has been here for more than one hundred thousand years. How can we give up just like that? Even if we give up, our sect's strength will decrease greatly. After all, many defensive methods like our arrays can't be taken away."
Fu Yuhua smiled bitterly. "Brother Song, you're as carefree as ever."
After returning to the huge pit at the entrance of Dian Cang Sword Sect, Fu Yuhua looked into the distance for a moment before restraining his emotions. He calmed down and handed Song Shi a spatial ring.
"Let's not talk nonsense. Brother Song, our sect is facing the threat of the Demon Race and needs to consume some resources to deal with it. I can only give you 10 million spirit stones first. I'll give you the rest in installments for a thousand years and 40,000 per year. The extra 10 million will be interest and your remuneration as a guest elder. How about that?"
The corners of Song Shi's mouth twitched. This was the first time he had encountered a thousand-year interest period.
He took the spirit stones and said in advance, "I can't guarantee that I'll stay here for a thousand years."
"It's fine. As long as Brother Song agrees to our requests, it's fine. Perhaps we won't be able to last that long with the demon army becoming active again too."
Fu Yuhua did not care at all. As long as Song Shi was around, his Dian Cang Sword Sect would have another Great Saint overseeing it. It was much more valuable than ten million spirit stones in his pocket.
"Not to that extent. With me around, the sect can persevere."
Song Shi shook his head. As long as he was here, he would not give the demons a chance to wreak havoc.
"I hope so. Stay with me in the sect for a few days. It will take some time to build this place."
Fu Yuhua flew into the sect with Song Shi and brought him to the main peak where he lived.
The Dian Cang Sword Sect was filled with verdant vegetation and rich Spiritual Qi. Many white cranes fluttered and spirit deer appeared. The buildings on the mountain were elegant, like an oasis in a snowy mountain.
Song Shi lived in a courtyard surrounded by vines. There were beautiful maidservants waiting by his side. The disciples and elders who passed by all had respectful expressions. They knew that there was an additional Great Saint guest in the sect.
In the depths of the void, in the Vermilion Bird Palace outside the floating plane, Xiong He and Sun Hong returned in a sorry state with their subordinates, attracting many surprised gazes along the way.
Great Saint Chaos happened to come over for something. When he saw Xiong He's miserable state, he said, "Did you encounter a team from the Demon Race?"
"Hmph, you're asking the obvious. I don't believe you didn't receive the news!"
Sun Hong's expression turned ugly.
"I just received news and asked me to come over to discuss a missing Heaven Patrolling Guard. Could it be…"
Great Saint Chaos thought of something and his pupils dilated, "Could it be? Impossible, he's only at the Void Refinement Realm!"
"Hmph, this was caused by your Void Refinement Heaven Patrolling Guard!"
Xiong He gritted his teeth, feeling extremely depressed.
It was truly embarrassing to be beaten up like this by a Void Refinement Realm cultivator.
"This… I saw that he was quite talented back then. I didn't expect him to be so powerful. I underestimated him."
Great Saint Chaos could not calm down.
"Come in, Palace Master is here too."
A voice came from afar, causing Great Saint Chaos and the others to tremble. They hurriedly flew over respectfully.
In the Heaven Observation Palace, Great Saint Qian He did not sit on the main seat. Instead, he stood on the left and right of the Palace Masters of the Heaven Punishment Hall. He stood beside a burly figure, and there were a few other Palace Masters beside him.
Great Saint Chaos and Sun Hong entered one after another. The other subordinates were not qualified, so they did not enter.
"I didn't expect to alarm the Palace Master."
Sun Hong bowed.
"It's not just about Song Shi. There's also the problem with the Fallen God Valley."
The burly figure spoke, his voice shaking the void. With him as the center, it seemed to be an independent world that could not be heard outside even if one wanted to.
The Heaven Observation Palace Master, Great Saint Qian He, said in a low voice, "The soul lamps of the few Great Saints leading the team have been completely destroyed. The Fellow Daoists trapped inside have basically died."
Great Saint Chaos's expression turned cold. "So fast? Could it be that the traces of the demon at the beginning were to lure us into sending troops in?"
The Heaven Inquisition Palace Master, Great Saint Starsong, nodded. "That's most likely the case. Moreover, from the looks of the situation, their control over the Fallen God Valley is even greater than the previous battle."
The Palace Masters fell silent. This was not a good thing. It would be like a nail stuck in their heartland.
"There are remnants of Law Power in the Fallen God Valley. It's too dangerous. After entering, the odds are against us. Recently, there have been more and more demons outside the Mystic Spirit Realm. It's difficult for us to be distracted. I've decided to set up an Array Formation with the nearby sects in the periphery to seal it and form a special defense line to prevent the Demon Race army from surging out on a large scale."
The Black Tortoise Palace Master spoke, attracting everyone's attention. He continued, "After the sealing Array Formation is formed, we'll take every step carefully and find the specific passageway that the demons came through. We'll capture them all in one fell swoop. The Logistics Hall will be in charge of setting up the sealing array."
