What If I Can't Die?
chapter-437

Song Shi did not care about this at all. He only wanted to go to the next level, when he was almost done improving. He wanted to pass the first trial and see what was special about the second stage.

Under his cultivation day and night, the Blood Spirit Pearls were quickly consumed. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

The teams that relied on him had also grown to the point where they could easily threaten a demon party.

However, the bigger the team, the more problems there were.

Liu Hu was originally the leader, but when a few people stronger than him came to the team, his right to speak decreased.

Because he was not the strongest in this team, he could not even be considered to be in the first tier. The right to speak in the team was gradually dispersed, and every member had their own thoughts.

Of course, most of them had the same idea, which was to attack the demons instead.

After this thought reached a critical point, someone could not help but raise it.

Liu Husheng couldn't decide on such a big matter, so he could only call the leaders together to discuss it.

Whether to attack the demons or not, the results of the discussion could only mobilize more people.

More than sixty people had already formed four large factions. Liu Hu looked at the other three. "Once we leave the vicinity of the ancient tower, aren't you afraid that the demons will also form a party to kill us?"

"What's there to be afraid of? We have more than sixty people. If they want to surround and kill us, they have to send at least a hundred demons. I don't think they can gather so many in a short period of time. We can catch them off guard, so we have to act as soon as possible."

The leader, who was the strongest and most thoughtful among the three, said confidently.

"I agree with the plan. We can't wait for them to make a move. We have to take the initiative."

"We can completely defeat them one by one. We can kill one or two teams first. Once we kill a few more teams, it's hard to say who's the prey and who's the Hunter here."

The other two agreed and even thought of changing the entire situation.

Liu Husheng was also very tempted. If they could kill the number of demons to a point where they could suppress them, the situation could really be reversed.

At that time, the cultivators who kept coming in could strengthen them and the demons who came in would be their prey.

"I'll go tell Brother Song. If he's willing to support us, we'll definitely win."

Liu Husheng was only where he was today because he had benefited from Song Shi, so he followed Song Shi's lead in everything.

"Brother Liu, there's no need to disturb his cultivation."

"That's right. We have to rely on ourselves now. True Monarch Song should be almost done refining the Blood Spirit Pearl and will leave soon."

"If True Monarch Song makes a move for us, how can we get enough Blood Spirit Beads?"

All three of them were tactfully objecting.

In their hearts, Song Shi's strength had been proven. However, although he was powerful, he could not bring them much benefit.

If they followed him this time, he would take more than half of the benefits. They would not be able to get enough.

"Alright, I'll just let him know about it."

Liu Husheng still felt that it was necessary to say it. If he encountered any accidents, he could still have a trump card.

Seeing Liu Husheng run towards the ancient tower in the distance, the remaining three looked at each other in dissatisfaction.

"Brother Liu is really that person's senior lackey. He has to tell him everything, but I don't see him paying much attention to him."

"Don't say that. He's not strong enough. If he doesn't rely on that person, how can he be qualified to be on equal footing with us?"

"That's true, but if he leaves, won't he still have to rely on himself?"

The three of them discussed Liu Husheng behind his back and looked down on him.

Liu Husheng was at the early-stage Soul Transformation realm. They were all at the late-stage Soul Transformation realm or even the perfected stage. The difference was not small.

At the ancient tower, Song Shi nodded when he heard Liu Husheng's plan. "You can give it a try. It will be quite interesting if you can make a comeback."

He supported these people to attack the demons. Even though the demons were not simple and they might not be able to defeat them in a short period of time.

After receiving support, Liu Husheng left in peace.

"One hundred and fifty pills. I feel that the effect is getting lower and lower. I can consider leaving."

Song Shi thought about how the effect of the Blood Spirit Pearl was weakening. He planned to cultivate for another half a month before trying to walk the Spirit Severing Road.

Before that, he wanted to see if this fellow could change his status and become the leader of this damn place.

At that time, every demon who entered would be hunted down. It was interesting to think about this scene.

An You pouted. "Why do you care what they do? The rules here dictate that they can only become prey."

"Is that a reasonable rule?"

Song Shi mocked, "Since it's a trial ground for the demons, how can I let you kill non-Demon cultivators alone? I think they should increase the difficulty and make you the target of pursuit. I think the trial effect will be better like this."

"You're so mean."

An You was speechless. "I think all the demons will start worshiping you even in their hearts if they know the situation."

"That's good. I like being greeted in admiration, but I can't do anything about it."

Song Shi chuckled. "Pay attention to their actions. Don't be tricked by them."

"Fine."

An You tidied her clothes and licked her red lips. "Young Master, remember to pay me for my hard work."

"You swallowed at least twenty Blood Spirit Pearls worth of my essence last time. Isn't that enough?"

Song Shi was annoyed. Did this woman really treat him as a furnace?

"I'm also growing. This time, I can swallow the essence of thirty Blood Spirit Pearls."

An You smiled teasingly. "I'll go do something now and wait for Young Master's reward."

Song Shi's expression turned cold as he watched An You leave. "Demons indulge in the seven human emotions and six human desires the most. There are even people who specialize in cultivating around these. The greatest threat you pose to me is precisely one that arises of the seven emotions and six desires…"

After he had gained a deeper understanding of the demon cultivation techniques during this period of time, especially when he interacted with the succubus race, he realized that the most powerful thing about these guys was not Enchantment, but making people fall into their desires.

No matter when, his biggest enemy was actually himself, especially his instincts.

After reminding himself to be careful of the Succubus, Song Shi sat cross-legged and continued cultivating.

Soon, An You came back and said, "They must have been tricked. I sensed a familiar aura from someone."

Song Shi was not surprised. After all, this was the home ground of the demons. Perhaps every move of Liu Husheng and company was monitored by the demons.

He was very concerned about An You's aura and asked, "What aura?"

"The smell of desire."

An You took a deep look at Song Shi. "Young Master must have cultivated some kind of Spiritual Technique. His will is like a sword, immovable like a mountain. No matter how many Enchantments I used, they did not make Young Master lose control of his desires. However, the others are far inferior to Young Master."

Song Shi was deep in thought. "You mean one of them is being controlled?"

At this point, Song Shi was shocked. He actually did not notice it.

"It's not Crowd Control either. It's influence."

An You said ingratiatingly, "I shouldn't have said this, but since Young Master made me addicted to him, I'll let them suffer less and fulfill your wish."

"Speak clearly."

Song Shi was impatient.

"Some demons have triggered the seven emotions and six desires of these people, making them even more arrogant and conceited."

An You explained, "Just like how I can trigger your lust and greed, Young Master, there are also demons who can trigger anger and obsession."

At this point, she sighed. "The one who attacked should be a top genius of my Succubus Clan."

Song Shi glanced sideways. "It seems to be different from yours?"

"The seven emotions and six desires are like different paths. We will focus on choosing one or two."

An You twisted his body. "Young Master, look at my unique conditions. I will definitely choose lust as the most suitable. It will yield twice the results with half the effort."

Song Shi seemed to be deep in thought. "No wonder I keep having the feeling that you're seducing me into falling into my desires."

"Hehe, Young Master's will is too strong. So far, I haven't succeeded right?"

An You chuckled and reached out to touch the Buddhist runes on the wall. "Every living being has seven emotions and six desires, or what the Buddhist Sect calls greed, anger, and obsession. Basically, no one can completely restrain them. Once they take advantage of the situation, it will be the beginning of the 'Fallen' stage."

Song Shi's hair stood on end when he heard that. These guys were indeed demons. They were too demonic.

After all, which human could fully control all his thoughts?

For example, how many people could resist the most common lust?

If it was something else, such as anger, Song Shi had experienced it before, that one could actually explode with anger.

Thinking of this, Song Shi's gaze changed slightly. "Was Great Emperor Yuan Huo able to control and influence anger?"
