What If I Can't Die?

When Song Shi heard this, he nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your praise, Commander Sikong."

"…"

The people from the Demon Slayers Division were speechless. This guy was quite narcissistic. They felt that there was something wrong with his brain.

Seeing everyone's strange gazes, Song Shi coughed and said, "Although I'm indeed handsome and can work my 'spear' well, I am not blind to the reason why she gave me this cultivation technique that she had to pay a price for."

In fact, Song Shi already knew that Liu Ruxue had an ulterior motive for giving him the Yang Cultivation Technique, but he did not care. After all, he was indeed short of immortal cultivation techniques.

"You seem to be a very smart person. I like talking to smart people."

Siking Ya could tell that Song Shi was not a fool. He said with a satisfied expression, "I'll give you another chance. Join my Demon Slayers Division and your future will be bright."

"…"

This time, it was Song Shi's turn to be speechless.

If he had not heard Hei Duzi say that the Sky Demon Cult was about to invade Imperial City, he would have believed him.

As for now, it would be strange if he believed him.

In this chaotic era, coupled with the fact that he had the system, repeatedly going around everywhere and courting death was the best choice of action.

"Little brother, since you're a cultivator, why would you join the Demon Slayers Division? If you want to join a group, you should join my Fiend Eradicators."

Just as Song Shi was about to ask the Demon Slayers if they needed spies, a teasing voice suddenly sounded. A flash of light from a sword flickered in the sky and a white-robed person descended from the sky.

Song Shi's mouth could not help but widen as he looked enviously at the figure flying on a sword in the air.

This person's temples were slightly white and he looked like a middle-aged man. He was wearing a black and white Daoist robe and was surrounded by a cloud of floating dust. He stood on a green flying sword and looked extremely sage-like.

The air of elegance immediately attracted Song Shi's attention.

Flying on a sword and living a carefree life like that was what he wanted.

"Wuchen Zi, you are being too much. My Demon Slayers Division met this person first."

Sikong Ya's expression darkened as he stared coldly at this fellow who had suddenly appeared.

"But he has a spiritual root. It's not appropriate for him to stay in your Demon Slayers Division."

Wuchen Zi landed on the ground with a smile. The green flying sword under his feet quickly shrunk and turned into a ray of light that entered his sleeve.

He said, "Moreover, this little brother has yet to agree to join your Demon Slayers Division."

Sikong Ya's face was ashen, but he couldn't say anything. He said to Song Shi, "You have Innate Divine Strength, bronze skin, and iron bones. It's definitely not a problem for you to cultivate and practice martial arts at the same time. My Demon Slayers Division is the main body of the Morality Department so we don't lack high-grade immortal cultivation techniques."

It was obvious that Wuchen Zi was giving him special treatment. Song Shi was really tempted. This Wuchen Zi came at the right time. since the two of them were fighting over him, he would definitely benefit from it.

"Joining the Fiend Eradicators is the orthodox path for cultivation. There are many cultivation seniors who can provide you with the best guidance. This is what their Demon Slayers Division lacks. As for cultivating the Martial arts, it's very difficult, so there's no need for you to cultivate both at the same time, because in the end you won't obtain much benefits through that."

Sikong Ya and Wuchen Zi's words made Song Shi understand that the Fiend Eradicators consisted mainly of cultivators and practiced immortal cultivation whereas the Demon Slayers Division cultivated martial arts. However both divisions were led by the Morality Department.

He thought for a moment. "You're all from the same department, so the treatment should be about the same. I just want to ask, if I join you, can I ensure that my Song family won't be wiped out?"

When Sikong Ya heard this, he shook his head, "We could in the past, but we can't now. In today's chaotic world, there are too many demons and ghosts to deal with. At most, we'll send some bailiffs to protect them. We don't have enough people at all. How can we send so many people to protect your family?"

"Little brother, don't be too greedy. Immortal cultivators have a very long lifespan. Sooner or later, they will need to cut ties with the mortal world. If your family dies, it may help you to cultivate in peace better."

Wuchen Zi's words shocked Song Shi. His attitude was really heartless.

He shook his head, "If I can't even protect my family, what's the point of cultivating? There's no sense of accomplishment. Commander Sikong, I'm more inclined to join you."

Song Shi was not interested in joining the Demon Slayers Division. He only wanted to find a temporary solution to deal with his current predicament.

He felt that by joining temporarily, he could come into contact with all kinds of experts through the Demon Slayers Division. For example, today, he saw a sword cultivator like Wuchen Zi who possessed the skills that he yearned for.

It was best to maintain a friendship with the Demon Slayers Division so that he could obtain some resources that could help him in courting death more effectively.

Once they became useless, he was ready to run away with what he had received, any time.

"Young man, when you live for a few more decades, you will understand that people in the mortal world are just passersby in your cultivation journey."

Wuchen Zi shook his head and felt a little regretful.

In his perception, this person had a medium-grade spiritual root and was worth nurturing. However, he did not care about it too much because it wasn't a high grade spiritual root. If Song Shi had a high grade spiritual root, it would be a different story.

"Let's talk about this later. There are too many things for me to consider right now, moreover, you should know that I'm still a mortal."

Song Shi didn't care. He actually only chose to join the Demon Slayers Division because he didn't like Wuchen Zi .

Wuchen Zi's values to treat ordinary people,even his own family like grass, was not something that Song Shi could agree with now.

After all, he was just an ordinary person not long ago. Back then, he was also powerless against the Red-dressed female ghost.

"Welcome to the Demon Slayers Division!"

Sikong Ya revealed a kind expression to Song Shi. Martial artists like them had worked hard to cultivate, so they naturally did not agree with Wuchen Zi's words as well. Moreover by choosing to join the Demon Slayers Division, Song Shi has shown himself to be a person capable of feeling empathy.

He did not say anything else to Song Shi. Instead, he glanced at Wuchen Zi, "Your Fiend Eradicators are high and mighty and have always dealt with ghosts and demons. Although there are evil spirits involved in this matter, it's just a few ghosts. It should not be to the extent of alarming you, right?"

"The magistrate of Silken City is dead. The commander was very angry and sent us to help you capture Hei Duzi."

Wuchen Zi brought a piece of news.

Sikong Ya frowned. "The magistrate is dead? Is this the same magistrate who colluded with the Song family back then and caused the death of the entire Zhang family?"

"If it wasn't him, who else could it be? He was killed by someone who drowned him in the river two hours ago."

Wuchen Zi sneered, "The mere ninth-stage Qi Refinement realm cultivator Hei Duzi actually dared to attack an official of the Imperial Court. He's even the magistrate of a prefecture. He really has a death wish!"

"He brought a group of people to fight us here tonight, how did he still have the time to kill a magistrate? I'm afraid he has accomplices!"

Sikong Ya frowned, "The Sky Demon Cult is deliberately supporting this person. You and I have to be careful not to be tricked by them."

"It would be great if we could verify that they are people from the Sky Demon Cult, then we would be able to immediately get a large force to come over and help, instead of just this small group."

Wuchen Zi harrumphed, "There's a plague in Tianyu City in Bo Prefecture. I heard that there's a demon from the Heavenly Demon Cult causing trouble, so the commander sent people over to deal with it. We won't have much help for the time being."

He looked at Song Shi, "Otherwise, why would I compete with you for this person?"

Song Shi's face darkened. Can you not f*cking say that in front of me? You're making me look like I'm just a tool.

Even if he knew that the bottom of any group could only be a tool, there was no need to be so blatant, right?

He was immediately uninterested in seriously becoming a member of the Demon Slayers Division and decided to only benefit from it.

"Looks like I really have to find and hire cultivators who cultivate in secret temporarily to take down Hei Duzi as soon as possible. I can't drag this out any longer. If someone from the Sky Demon Cult is really setting up something, it'll be even more troublesome if it breaks out."

Sikong Ya muttered.

"I agree. Silken City is very prosperous and there are many independent cultivators. It isn't difficult to find some to help."

Wuchen Zi nodded.

Sikong Ya looked at Song Shi, "The commander isn't around now and can't go through the procedures, so I won't give you an official identity for the time being. You can work as a temporary helper first but I can guarantee that I'll give you the official treatment of the Black Iron Guards."

"Being a temporary helper is fine with me too."

Song Shi was actually not in a hurry to become an official member of the Black Iron Guards. Instead, he wanted to take a look at the situation first.

If the Demon Slayers Division no longer benefits him, he will naturally escape at any given moment. Although of course this would depend on the situation first. Perhaps being a temporary helper was more suitable for him.

"It's late. Go and rest. Hei Duzi definitely won't have the strength to cause trouble again tonight!"

Sikong Ya waved his hand and left in a hurry with Wuchen Zi, probably to discuss finding other Temporary helpers.
