What If I Can't Die?

Thousand Faces was shocked as he recognized Bai Yu'er. "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

Bai Yu'er crossed her arms. "Thousand Faces, I know this is only one of your incarnations, but there's no need to destroy it for nothing, right? Listen to Young Master obediently. There are benefits for you."

Thousand Faces was even more shocked. He looked at Song Shi in disbelief. "Who are you?"

Song Shi turned around. "Tell me, what do you want?"

Thousand Faces recognized him immediately and was shocked. "Blood-Robed old ghost, weren't you captured by Bai Yu'er? Why did she call you Young Master?"

"You talk too much. Freeze him and bring him back. We'll talk about it when we get back."

Song Shi snorted and turned to leave.

Frost instantly appeared on Thousand Faces' body, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into ice. Bai Yu'er carried him and left with Song Shi.

Not long after they left, a few men in black rushed in with a hound.

"Wu wu wu~"

The hound sneezed. Then, as if it had sensed something, it trembled in fear and peed.

"Not good. Wanli was frightened and didn't dare to investigate."

"What a cold atmosphere!"

"Could it be that the vice sect master of the Demonic Sect is here to receive us? Report it quickly. This is not something we can chase."

The few pursuers tactfully stopped in their tracks and prepared to let the tall one continue investigating.

In the Guest Welcoming Hall.

This side hall could only be occupied when distinguished guests arrived. There were dozens of maids and eunuchs waiting to be arranged at any time.

"The guests this time are really quiet. They're not like those who like to mobilize people and run around."

"After all, they're all monks and nuns. They're probably staying in their rooms and chanting scriptures."

"This is good. They don't eat or drink so there won't be any trouble. We'll all be relaxed."

Just as the palace maids and eunuchs were secretly rejoicing, a bang sounded in the palace. An ice man was thrown to the ground, but his voice did not spread because of the Array Formation.

After Bai Yu'er removed the ice, Thousand Faces looked at Song Shi. "I know what you want. News about your maid, right?"

"Looks like you're smart enough, but you talk a lot of nonsense."

Song Shi looked up at Thousand Faces. To be able to infiltrate the Heavenly Prison, this person was not simple.

"I know where your damn maid is."

Thousand Faces had learned his lesson this time and went straight to the point. "I can tell you where she is and give you my transformation divine power, but you have to help me save another person in the Heavenly Prison. I don't need any other rewards."

"Saving people?"

Song Shi thought for a moment and nodded. "No problem. Tell me the location and I can bring them out for you."

Thousand Faces was slightly delighted, "I can tell you the location of your maidservant, but the divine power of myriad transformations will have to wait until you bring my person out."

"Sure."

Song Shi was not afraid that Thousand Faces would not give it to him. As an undying person, why would he be afraid that Thousand Faces would go back on his word?

If not for the fact that this person was not the original Thousand Faces and was not very strong and that he did not want to waste the Spirit Command Talisman, he would probably have tried to control him the moment they met.

Thousand Faces raised his hand and released white Nomological power, outlining a tower in the void.

The internal structure of this tower was complicated, and it was upside down. Song Shi was deep in thought. "This is the structure of the Heavenly Prison, right?"

"Yes, this Heavenly Prison was built according to a special suppression Dharma treasure. I heard that it's called the Eight Gates Spirit Suppression Tower. It seems to be a powerful Numinous treasure replica.

"It's different from those war Dharma treasures that fly in the sky. It doesn't have much offensive power, but its suppression power is especially terrifying. Even a Soul Transformation cultivator can forget about escaping."

"Eight Gates Spirit Suppression Tower… The name sounds quite domineering. Moreover, it's one with the array formation of the entire Imperial City. Its suppression is indeed terrifying."

Song Shi remembered this name.

"That's right. I heard that this Heavenly Prison was inherited from the previous dynasty. Its history is far longer than Great Qian. The eighteen levels inside are like the eighteen levels of hell. Once any demons or ghosts are locked up, they will never be able to come out without help."

He looked at Song Shi curiously. "I'm still very surprised that you guys can enter and leave without anyone noticing. I can only disguise myself as a prison guard to sneak in. You guys probably controlled a portion of the Array Formation, right?"

"This has nothing to do with you. Continue to tell me about the internal situation of the Heavenly Prison."

Song Shi wasn't interested in saying that he was a sixth-grade array master and that he was one of the few ones in the entire Boundless Continent.

Thousand Faces could guess that Song Shi was the person with the high-level Array Formation Ability as was impossible for Bai Yu'er, a demon, to be so powerful in Array Formation.

He said, "The Heavenly Prison is divided into eighteen levels. Each level is arranged with eight doors. The number of cells on each level is a multiple of eight. Each independent interior is divided into many cells. The lower the multiple, the smaller it is. In the end, the eight doors are combined, and the suppression power reaches the peak."

At this point, he pointed his finger at the top of the fallen tower meaningfully. "The person I want you to save is in the only cell of this floor. It's also the best cell, a high-grade spirit-level cell!"

"The guy suppressed in the deepest part!"

Song Shi was shocked. The Heavenly Prison had the strongest suppression power and was also the person in the deepest depths. He was a little speechless. "What are you trying to save? Could it be a Soul Transformation cultivator?"

"That's right, a Soul Transformation cultivator, a senior of my Heavenly Demon Cult has been suppressed inside for many years. I don't know the exact number of years, I only know that every generation of Sky Demon Cult's successor had tried to save him."

Thousand Faces nodded.

Bai Yu'er was deep in thought. "I've also heard of this rumor. I didn't expect it to be true. How powerful is the guy suppressed inside? He hasn't died after so many years?"

"No, this senior should be very powerful. If he can escape, Great Qian will definitely be destroyed!"

Thousand Faces looked confident.

Song Shi frowned. "Are you that confident that I can save him?"

"Your Array Formation level should be at the sixth-grade, and you can also become invisible. It will be much easier to save him. You only need to avoid the regular detection of the person in charge of the array and the patrol of the prison guards. It will definitely be easier than me. In fact, there are not many people in the Boundless Continent who are more suitable than you."

Thousand Faces was excited. "If you can do it, the entire Sky Demon Cult will be grateful. That senior will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

Song Shi looked at the collapsed tower constructed with Nomological power and felt that this matter was not that simple.

What was Bai Yu'er? She was a demon who had lived for more than a thousand years. Moreover, her legacy was not weak yet she had only heard rumors about this matter.

As for him, he had never heard of it.

On the other hand, Soul Transformation cultivators only had a lifespan of about two thousand years. From the sound of it, the seniors of the Heavenly Demon Cult had been suppressed for at least two thousand years. How could they not have died under such circumstances?

Interesting.

Song Shi was curious.

Thousand Faces continued, "In the vertical direction, the cells are divided into five levels: Spirit, Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow. Other than Spirit, which only have one level, the other four are divided into four levels. These five levels of Heavenly Prisons correspond to the Soul Transformation, Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refinement realms. The cells are basically locked according to each level. They will be adjusted according to the level of importance."

"As expected of an Earth-rank prison head. He knows these situations like the back of his hand."

Song Shi glanced at the token on Thousand Faces' waist.

"Of course. I had to advance one step at a time. It took me nearly a hundred years."

Thousand Faces looked a little smug. His finger changed again and landed on the 16th floor underground. "Your maid is locked in a top-notch heaven-grade cell. I'm not sure which cell it is. I can't come into contact with it yet. If not for this prisoner's special situation, I don't think I would have known that a mere Foundation Establishment realm ghost would be locked in a heaven-grade cell that only Nascent Soul realm cultivators or Big Ghost are qualified to enter."

The Big Ghost he was talking about was a classification of strength like ghosts. Little ghosts, Big Ghosts, Ghost Kings, Ghost Emperors, and Ghost Venerables were basically similar to Qi Refinement to Soul Transformation.

"Young Master, they are targeting you."

Bai Yu'er said, "It won't be easy to save her."

"Easier than the guy he's trying to save."

Song Shi shrugged. "If we really rescue that guy at the lowest level, it's probably equivalent to blowing up the Heavenly Prison."

"Don't worry, I'll help you secretly and create an opportunities for you."

Thousand Faces smiled and promised, "It's all thanks to Emperor Qian's busy cultivation. Over the years, our Sky Demon Cult has already infiltrated the Imperial City. As long as Your Excellency goes all out, the people we want to save and the maidservant you want to save can all successfully escape."

"I hope so."

Song Shi did not really believe Thousand Faces. He was even on guard around him. After all, Thousand Faces was a top-notch spy. He was definitely a sly old fox with a treacherous smile.

He was not in a hurry and said calmly, "You just saved someone. The Heavenly Prison is under martial law. We'll take action in two days. Tell me more about the situation in the Heavenly Prison and even the Imperial City."

"That's what I thought too." Thousand Faces heaved a sigh of relief. "Ask me whatever you want to know. I will tell you everything I know."
