Shadow Transformation!
This is the innate and unique ability of the shadow demons that allows them to travel through the shadows and break through any formation or restriction below the immortal level.
It is also because of this innate ability that all the shadow demons were able to carry out Song Yang's mission to deliver the Shura Palace tokens by stealth to all the forces in the eastern region.
Seeing that he was finally safe, Shi Hu turned his attention to Murong Haojun, who was still seriously injured.
"Take this pill," said Shi Hu as he placed a heaven-grade healing pill in Murong Haojun's mouth.
"Although this pill won't be able to restore your sacred origin, it's enough to heal your superficial injuries."
After a few minutes, Murong Haojun, who had finally recovered a little, turned his gaze to Shi Hu and finally asked what was in his heart: "Why did Shura Palace rescue me?"
Although he was seriously injured and couldn't even speak, Murong Haojun was conscious the whole time and was able to hear the conversation between Shi Hu and Lu Fangran, so he knows that the Shi Hu who rescued him is part of Shura Palace.
Shura Palace! He had heard that name before he was arrested. The Blood Demon Sect and his Murong family had received tokens from this murderous organization.
Murong Haojun had even ordered his subordinates to investigate, but was arrested before finding out the results of the investigation.
So he was quite surprised to realize that the one who had finally saved him was not the Blood Demon Sect, but this mysterious Shura Palace.
After all, he clearly had no connection with Shura Palace. Based on Shi Hu's reaction when Lu Fangran mentioned the Blood Demon Sect, Shura Palace probably has no relation to the Blood Demon Sect.
Hearing Murong Haojun's question, Shi Hu thought of Murong Qing'er, sighed and said, "Let's just say you have a good daughter."
Shura Palace, Main Hall
After Song Yang finally returned with Murong Qing'er, he went straight to the main hall to receive Yan Long's report on how Shura Palace had operated during the month he had been away.
Yan Long, deputy commander of the Shadow Demon Legion.
During the time Song Yang was away and took Shi Hu with him, Yan Long was in charge of all the Shura Palace's operations.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, during this period Shura Palace carried out a total of 31 successful assassination missions," Yan Long who was reporting respectfully, paused slightly and handed two space rings to Song Yang before continuing:
"The first ring contains the rewards for the missions, which include 35 earth-grade weapons, 18 heaven-grade weapons and 2 lower-grade holy weapons, as well as 1000 holy fountains, 2 million high-grade spirit stones and 130 million medium-grade spirit stones."
Spirit stones contain energy that cultivators can use to increase their cultivation speed, as well as being known as the currency in the world of cultivators.
Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 100 medium-grade spirit stones, which in turn are equivalent to just one high-grade spirit stone.
The higher the grade of the spirit stone, the better the quality of the aura and the more effective it is during cultivation. In addition, it is common to use spirit stones as energy to keep formations active.
The Sacred Source, on the other hand, is different from spirit stones. It is possible to mine spirit stones in spirit veins, but the Sacred Source is something that only a saint can condense!
In theory, a thousand high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 1 holy fountain, but in practice this is not the case. It takes a 1-star saint a week to condense just one sacred source.
During the period in which a saint condenses the sacred source, he cannot cultivate, which is clearly not to the saint's advantage.
It is therefore difficult to quantify the value of a holy spring, since it requires seven days of cultivation from a saint.
After all, even in the entire Zhenfang dynasty, a saint is considered a figurehead at the top.
Of course, on the other hand, the energy contained in a holy spring is extremely pure and can accelerate cultivation speed several times compared to a high-grade spirit stone.
Something like a holy spring could be considered rare even for some casual cultivators from the royal realm.
And at that moment, Song Yang, who owns 1000 holy springs, can't help but think 'I've struck it rich'.
I'm afraid that even a peak saint like Lu Fangran might not have as much wealth as Song Yang right now.
It's worth noting that this was only the first month of Shura Palace. Now that its reputation is starting to strengthen, there will certainly be more missions in the future.
Looking at the two space rings in his hand, Song Yang couldn't help but look at the other and ask: "What about the second ring?"
"In the second ring are the corpses of the targets: there are 4 sacred corpses, 21 royal realm corpses and 6 corpses in the divine transformation realm." Yan Long replied respectfully.
Clearly, guarding the corpses was Song Yang's order before he left. After all, one of the reasons he created Shura Palace was to get lots of corpses and absorb them with his corpse-eating body.
Hearing the number of corpses, Song Yang couldn't help but get excited. With the energy he has stored in his death space, adding all these corpses, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to break through to the Sacred Realm.
Thinking that he might finally break through to the Sacred Realm, Song Yang almost felt like retreating immediately, but he remembered something and couldn't help but wave his hand so that Yan Long could leave.
Seeing Song Yang's gesture, Yan Long bade him a respectful farewell and immediately turned into a shadow, leaving Song Yang alone in the main hall.
Confirming that he was alone in the main hall, Song Yang communicated with the system in his mind:
"System, open my personal panel."
