Killing God - Chapter 159
Chapter 159 Pursue A Question
The forest was completely silent. The atmosphere was so tense that people wanted to suffocate. Especially when the young and beautiful woman suddenly rushed in front of Shen Shi and Old Bai Monkey, her body emitted a faint strong aura. After staring at Shen Shi and asking that question, Shen Shi and Old Bai Monkey, including the Stone Pig behind them, felt like they couldn’t breathe.
Amongst the five human cultivators, it seemed that this young woman who had never attacked was the strongest.
Shen Shi’s face looked a little pale, as if he was very nervous. However, he secretly pushed his hand backwards and smashed into the old white monkey’s body.
Old Bai Monkey was shocked. He immediately reacted and shouted, “None of you are allowed to come over. Whoever dares to come over, I will kill him!”
As he spoke, he placed the dagger that he had picked up somewhere across Shen Shi’s neck. At the same time, he grabbed Shen Shi’s clothes with his other hand and slowly retreated.
At this moment, the rest of the human cultivators had also arrived. The five of them stood in a row. His expression was different. Looking at the two different Demon race and the young man who was captured by Demon race, especially Junior Brother Qian, his expression was the ugliest. Especially when he saw Old Bai Monkey slowly walk deeper into the forest with Shen Shi and Shi Zhu, he couldn’t help but take another step forward. It seemed like he wanted to hurt the killer again.
However, when his other hand suddenly reached out from the side, Senior Brother Geng grabbed him and said, “Qian Yi, don’t act recklessly!”
Qian Yi looked at Shen Shi and the others with a hostile expression and said, “Could it be that they were allowed to leave like this?”
Senior Brother Geng seems to be a steady person, He frowned and said, “The Ling Xiao Sect is one of the four righteous sects in the world. Its status is not trivial. Its disciples must not be killed at will. Furthermore …” He hesitated for a moment. At the same time, he turned his head to look at the young woman and said, “Let’s go to the Heavenly Sword Palace where Junior Sister Nangong is. We are both the four righteous subordinates of the world. We have a lot to do with the Ling Xiao Sect. We cannot move lightly. If we injure the harmony between the two sects, wouldn’t it be a great sin?”
He did not purposely lower his voice. Everyone nearby heard it. The other male cultivators had thoughtful expressions on their faces. They also turned to look at the beautiful woman named Nangong. After hearing Senior Brother Geng’s words, the expression of this female cultivator surnamed Nangong changed slightly. She frowned slightly and looked at Shen Shi with hesitation in her eyes.
As for Old Bai Monkey, he carefully pretended to hold Shen Shi hostage and retreated. However, as Shen Shi retreated, he heard Senior Brother Geng’s words. Especially after the words Heavenly Sword Palace entered his ears, he instantly felt as if he was enlightened. He recalled his vague memories from earlier.
It turned out to be a Heavenly Sword Palace clan cultivator. No wonder he felt so familiar.
The Heavenly Sword Palace, like the Ling Xiao Sect, was also one of the four great sects in the world, including the founding ancestor, Nangong Xiaoyu, and the founding ancestor of the Ling Xiao Sect, Gan Jingcheng. He was also one of the six saints of the human race in the past.
In fact, in the current grandmist cultivation world, the four great sects that held the highest heights in the world and had inherited it for 10,000 years were all human Six Saints. Their respective clan inheritances were deeply integrated with the four great sects, and they continued to multiply for 10,000 years.
Apart from the Ling Xiao Sect and the Heavenly Sword Palace, the other two great sects were the Dragon Suppressing Palace and the Origin Sect. The Dragon Suppressing Palace was founded by Ji Rongxuan, one of the six human saints of the past. The last Origin Sect was different from the other three sects because from the start, there were three of the six human saints in this huge sect. They were Yuan Wentian, who used to be ranked first among the six human saints, and Gu Zizhen and Song Wende, who were ranked fourth and fifth respectively.
How powerful and glorious was a sect with three saints? For countless years, these four great sects had experienced hardships and never weakened. They had always stood at the peak of the human cultivation world. Among the four sects, the Origin Sect was the faint leader. Even the once-in-a-decade Origin Sect gathering had always been convened by the Origin Sect.
However, these words went a little far, The Heavenly Sword Palace, Everyone in the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World naturally knew about it. Shen Shi had heard of it since he was young, but the reason he didn’t react in front of him was because he had a vague impression of the Black Sword Sect. This was because hundreds of years ago, the Heavenly Sword Palace had controlled and developed three other sects. They were the Black Sword Sect, the Golden Sword Sect, and the Flying Sword Sect.
Tianjian Palace’s strength was unfathomable. Like the other three great sects, he occupied a supreme heavenly fortune in the Primordial Chaos Master Realm and looked down on the world. As for the three subordinates, they were generally here to expand Tianjian Palace’s influence in the rest of the world. At the same time, they were also here to discover genius disciples, or to search for various cultivation resources, including all sorts of heavenly materials, earth treasures, and even the most important spirit stone veins for cultivators, and so on.
In the grandmist cultivation world, this kind of relationship was basically public. When the cultivators of these three sects came out, they often regarded themselves as outer sect disciples of the Heavenly Sword Palace. Others often only remembered that it was the Heavenly Sword Palace. Therefore, when Shen Shi suddenly heard about the Mysterious Sword Sect, he did not expect the Heavenly Sword Palace to be on par with his own sect.
I just figured it out, He was slightly uneasy in his heart. The others were easy to say, but the young woman with the compound surname Nangong was obviously not easy to deal with. She was also a disciple of the four main families. She did not seem to have as many concerns as Senior Brother Geng and the others. In addition to her surname, she might be a disciple of the Nangong Aristocrat Clan that was inherited from Nangong Xiaoyu, one of the six saints of the human race.
With such an identity and family background, his status as an outer sect disciple of Lingxiao Sect was probably not enough.
He was uneasy. She forced a panicked look on her face. “I am Nangong Ying, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Palace. Since this brother claims to be a disciple of the High Firmament Sect, please give him your name. Our sect has a good relationship with the High Firmament Sect, and there is also a way to quickly inform the High Firmament Sect for verification.”
Her voice was calm and indifferent, but the meaning behind her words was a bit suspicious. Obviously, in the eyes of this young but extremely high-level Nangong Ying, there shouldn’t be such a trash fellow under the Lingxiao Sect as a disciple sent out by the four main sects.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately felt that the old white monkey behind him also stopped slightly. It actually had the intention of stopping. He immediately felt a burst of anxiety in his heart and cursed the old monkey for being confused. If the current situation did not leave quickly, these human cultivators would kill the monster race and attack, but they would not show any mercy.
He coughed fiercely and raised his neck. It was as if the Old Bai Monkey had suddenly pressed down on the blade again. A panicked expression immediately appeared on his face, as if he was going to collapse to the ground in the next moment. Even his body shook. At the same time, he took advantage of this gap to step on the Old Bai Monkey’s foot heavily and said loudly, panting,
“I, I’m a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect Sect … Shen Shi, it’s true. Don’t come over, you must save me …”
Old Bai Monkey was hit by him again. He retreated a little faster, On Nangong Ying’s beautiful face, she saw Shen Shi’s panicked expression, A hint of disgust instantly appeared on his face. There was also a trace of contempt in her eyes, but no matter what, the word Lingxiao Sect was really not light. Even though she came from an extraordinary family, she did not dare to move lightly at this moment. After hesitation, she watched helplessly as the two demons and an inconspicuous Little Hei pig slowly retreated into the forest and gradually left.
Since Nangong Ying did not move, the other four Profound Sword Sect cultivators naturally would not act recklessly. Qian Yi’s face was filled with unwillingness and hatred as he put away the Immortal Sword Spirit Tool. Senior Brother Geng walked over to Nangong Ying and whispered, “Let them go just like that?”
After a moment of silence, Nangong Ying slowly shook her head and said, “This person’s identity is suspicious and you can’t trust his words. However, Tianjian Palace and Lingxiao Sect have known each other for more than 10,000 years, and they have always been good friends. Many of the Eldest Teachers and Ancestors in the sect are close to each other, so they should not be lightly touched.”
Senior Brother Geng glanced in the direction where Shen Shi and the others had retreated and said, “Then right now …”
Nangong Ying snorted and her expression turned cold. “No matter whether what he said is true or false, we can’t let it go. Take a few senior brothers and follow him secretly. I’ll go back and report to the sect with a secret technique. As far as I know, there are also immortal talismans in the sect that can contact Lingxiao Sect thousands of kilometers away. When the time comes, I’ll ask him if there is such a person under the sect.” If there really is this person, then let the Ling Xiao Sect send someone to deal with him. If there is no such person, then he will deceive us. “At this point, the more disgusted Nangong Ying’s eyes became. It seemed that Shen Shi’s ugly behavior of being held hostage by the demon race just now really made her feel some contempt and coldly said,
“Then we can’t allow him!”

Once they left the line of sight of the human cultivators and hid in the dense forest, Old Bai Monkey immediately released Shen Shi. Shi Zhu also hurried over. The three of them were as anxious as stray dogs, leading the Little Hei Pig, who still didn’t understand what was happening, along the way.
This forest territory was quite large. Naturally, they would not return to their original path after fleeing for their lives. In any case, the most urgent matter was to get rid of those human cultivators. Old Bai Monkey and the others panicked and fled into the depths of the forest. After running for an unknown amount of time, until he could no longer hear anything behind him, and when the light from the thick gaps between the branches and leaves above his head began to dim, Old Bai Monkey finally stopped and sat down at the foot of a large tree, panting heavily, as if he was unable to breathe.
Shen Shi and Shi Zhu also stopped. The two of them were far stronger than the old white monkey, so they could still endure running until now. However, they were still gasping for breath. On the other hand, the little black pig that had been following them all along looked the most relaxed. They trotted along, but at this moment, they didn’t even have any breath. They leisurely went to the side to play with the wild flowers and grass.
“Water, water, is there any water” The old white monkey gasped for breath and its lips were dry as it raised its head to ask Shi Zhu and Shen Shi.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He shook his head. Shi Zhu was almost the same. However, he suddenly remembered something. He grinned and raised his hand. It turned out that the simple-minded pig demon was still holding the jar of flower-carved wine with one hand.
Old Bai Monkey’s eyes lit up, as if even his withered face was brighter. He hurriedly recruited, “Quick, quickly bring it over. Let me take a sip first.”
Shi Zhu placed the wine jar in front of him. The old white monkey gently slapped open the seal and a rich and mellow smell of wine floated out. It was only a mouthful of wine, as if it could feel a fragrant wine slowly entering his throat and warming his stomach from his mouth.
The old white monkey’s face revealed an expression of incomparable satisfaction. With an even somewhat sacred expression, he lowered his head and took a sip from the wine jar.
After that, he slowly closed his eyes and didn’t say anything for a long time. Only when Shen Shi and Shi Zhu were starting to worry did Old Bai Monkey suddenly sigh deeply. A trace of intoxication appeared on his face. He said,
“Good wine!”
“This is the real … good wine!”
Although he was a little restless at the moment, Shen Shi still revealed a smile when he saw the old white monkey’s appearance of having his wish fulfilled. A moment later, the old white monkey gently put down the wine jar. Then, he turned to look at him and stared at him. Then, his expression calmed down.
Shen Shi frowned and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. “Old monkey, what are you looking at?” He said.
The old white monkey remained silent for a moment, as if lowering its head slightly. Then, it finally opened its mouth and looked at him, saying softly,
“What is a disciple of Lingxiao Sect?”
