Killing God - Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Confrontation
Shen Shi slowly squatted down beside the little pig and gently touched its forehead. Then, he looked in the direction where the clamor came from and whispered, “Good stuff?”

The little pig’s hooves were still trampling on the ground. It looked very excited and impatient. Shen Shi looked at it. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, “Very good stuff?”

Pig Little Hei nodded his head repeatedly and looked at Shen Shi with a pair of eager eyes, as if he was looking forward to it.

Shen Shi pondered for a while, but he still shook his head and whispered, “Have you heard this saying that people die for money and birds die for food?”

The Little Hei pig was at a loss, as if it was listening to a book.

Shen Shi paused for a moment and laughed awkwardly. After thinking for a while, he said softly, “Those in front are no ordinary people. No matter how the Fish Dragon Sect is bullied by the Mysterious Sword Sect, it is still a cultivation sect. Not to mention the large number of people, there must be cultivators with higher cultivation realms than us. We cannot defeat them.”

The little black pig seemed to understand a bit this time. It looked a little depressed. Shen Shi gently touched its head and smiled, “It’s fine. When we become powerful in the future, we will naturally be able to go anywhere under the heavens. When the time comes, we will go to find better spirit herbs and spirit materials, okay?”

Pig Little Hei grunted and snorted twice. He raised his head to glance at Shen Shi and rubbed his head against his leg.

Shen Shi stood up and looked in the direction of the Fishdragon Sect’s enclosure in the distance. He shook his head slightly, then turned around and walked back. Little Hei Pig also looked reluctant, but after pausing for a moment, he finally followed Shen Shi’s footsteps and walked away.

Only the two of them walked less than ten feet away. In the depths of the reeds behind them, the uproar that had gradually subsided under the threat of the Fish Dragon Sect suddenly grew louder. A shrill voice suddenly roared loudly. The voice was loud and clear, echoing in the nearby reeds in an instant. It could be heard clearly,

“Bastard, I’m a disciple of the Black Wind Hall. What are you doing …”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped. His shrill voice was halfway interrupted. Not long ago, a noisy reed marsh was instantly covered by a strange silence. Everything became silent in the blink of an eye.

A gentle breeze blew from the surface of the Silvermoon Lake in the distance. As it swept past Shen Shi and Little Hei Pig, it carried a faint smell of blood.

Shen Shi stopped and looked back. He was obviously shocked. The Black Wind Hall was one of the two original small sects of cultivation before the Mysterious Sword Sect entered the territory of Broken Moon City. They had always been on par with the Fish Dragon Sect. However, it was also for the same reason that the people of the Black Wind Hall were now behaving with their tails between their legs.

Based on what Shen Shi had heard, Although these two cultivation sects used to fight openly and secretly, they still maintained a decent appearance on the surface. After the Mysterious Sword Sect entered the territory of Broken Moon City, they felt that they were united in their enmity. On the contrary, there were fewer disputes and negotiations between these two small cultivation sects.

However, the scream and the bloody aura that came with the wind had clearly indicated that the Fish Dragon Sect had somehow turned red-eyed and ignored everything. Even the disciples of the Black Wind Hall were not rootless rogue cultivators. Once they entered their Sealed Ground Realm, they would unexpectedly directly kill them regardless.

Shen Shi looked in that direction and raised his eyebrows. His expression was slightly solemn as he whispered to himself, “What kind of treasure is there that even the disciples of the sect want to kill?”

But in the next moment, Shen Shi’s expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have sensed something, He tilted his ear and listened carefully. Very quickly, he heard some faint but urgent whoosh sounds coming from his surroundings. It was as if many people were rapidly moving through the tall reeds at the same time. Their footsteps were swift. At the same time, they could faintly hear a few muffled groans coming from the depths of the reeds. However, almost all of them were suppressed as soon as their voices rose, as if they were … wailing from being covered before their deaths.

Shen Shi’s body trembled and he sucked in a breath of cold air. He hurriedly stretched out his foot and kicked the little pig before turning around and running backwards. The situation ahead was unknown. Although they did not know what was going on, it seemed that they had killed the disciple of the Black Wind Hall first. At this moment, they were either sealing the arena or simply killing people to silence them. They were actually directly killing the people in this reed marshes.

As he ran forward, Shen Shi said to Little Hei Pig, who was beside him, “Looks like that is indeed a very good thing. These people have gone crazy.”

The little black pig snorted twice, as if it was responding to his foresight.

Although the situation here was tense for a time, and the people from the Fish Dragon Sect were sneaking in the dense reeds like a maze, not showing any mercy towards the outsiders they met, because Shen Shi had discovered it earlier, and because his position was also relatively close to the outside, he managed to escape safely from that place in the end.

When the murderous voices behind him finally disappeared, Shen Shi looked around and saw that he had almost reached the periphery of this dense reed bush. It seemed that the people from the Fish Dragon Sect couldn’t really have the ability to seal off such a huge Silvermoon Lake territory. Otherwise, they would have been able to proudly stand in front of Xuanjian Sect long ago.

Shen Shi pondered in his heart. He thought that the Fish Dragon Sect would at most be looking at a small area by the Silvermoon Lake in that direction. However, he didn’t know what kind of heavenly treasure was produced on this precious land rich in spirit herbs and spirit materials that allowed the Fish Dragon Sect, a small cultivation sect, to be so reckless that it didn’t hesitate to start a massacre to keep its secrets.

However … Shen Shi curled his lips slightly. He thought to himself that since he was able to escape from such a large place and so many cultivators usually came here, although the Silvermoon Lake was very active and there weren’t many cultivators scattered in one place, there was no guarantee that no other clever cultivators would sneak out as well.

Although Shen Shi had never thought of returning to Duanyue City to publicize this matter, he still had troubles on his body and really didn’t want to interfere. However, Shen Shi didn’t believe that the Fish Dragon Sect could completely block the news and keep the secrets of the lake. Even though the Fish Dragon Sect had already killed the disciples of the Black Wind Hall with all their might, he didn’t believe it.

Standing at the edge of the reed forest, Shen Shi hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the Fish Dragon Sect had gone mad with red eyes, it was naturally not a good place to go. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if there were any problems before Lingxiao Sect. However, Shen Shi was reluctant to say that he would return to Duanyue City so directly. What happened to Xuanjian Sect was always like a huge rock pressing down on his heart. Before returning to Lingxiao Sect, he still didn’t dare to relax too much.

Thinking back and forth, Shen Shi still decided to stay with the little pig at Silvermoon Lake in the end. However, of course, he didn’t go back to the Fish Dragon Sect. On the contrary, Shen Shi took the Little Hei pig along the periphery of Silvermoon Lake and circled around it far away, avoiding that dangerous place.

In any case, the Silvermoon Lake covered an area of 1,000 mu. In addition to the outer boundaries of the lake, the area was several times larger. As long as it was a bit farther away from that direction, the Fish Dragon Sect would not have the ability to come and cause trouble no matter what.

The truth was as he had expected. After avoiding the direction where the Fish Dragon Sect had sealed off the field, the surroundings were much calmer. There were no more sounds of fighting and fighting. He accidentally encountered a figure, almost all of whom were loose cultivators working hard to gather herbs in the wilderness. After meeting by chance, they coldly looked at each other with vigilance in their eyes. Then, they hurriedly left.

Everything seemed to be the same as usual, as if nothing had happened. Until night fell, stars appeared in the sky, and it was almost the end of the day.

The wilderness under the night sky, especially where there were demonic beasts, was always much more dangerous than during the day. The shadows shrouded in darkness would obscure many of the dangers that could be felt during the day.

However, Shen Shi was no stranger to such a situation. In the three years of the Demon Realm, he had encountered many similar scenes. He skillfully found a large tree and climbed onto a thick branch with the Little Hei pig. Although it is only a simple method, it can effectively avoid a lot of risks.

After he settled down, the Little Hei pig lay quietly on his lap and gradually fell asleep, while Shen Shi was unable to fall asleep. With his back against the tree trunk, he raised his head to look at the night sky. In the pitch-black night sky, countless bright and dim stars had already lit up. Although there was no moonlight tonight, the starlight was bright and bright, and the starlight was like water, reflecting the darkness more tenderly.

Looking at the Silvermoon Lake under the night sky, he could see from afar the vague surface of the water. From time to time, there were low bug cries coming from the plentiful water grass. They seemed to be whispering and pouring out words, as if they had aroused the homesickness of foreign travellers.

In a trance, Shen Shi suddenly recalled his past days on Bluefish Island. During those five years, he grew up slowly from a young man. He cultivated with peace of mind and hard work. He made some friends and yearned for the future to step onto the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation. Now that he thought about it, that period of time was the calmest and happiest time in his life.

When can I go back?

Shen Shi casually pulled off a leaf beside him. Looking at the resplendent stars, he was dumbfounded, as if he was stunned.

The night passed peacefully.

When Shen Shi woke up from his dream in the early morning, near the water-rich Silvermoon Lake, the plentiful dew droplets had soaked his clothes a little. After stretching lazily, Shen Shi looked around and woke up the little pig that was still asleep. He jumped down from the tree together.

It was such a quiet morning. Everything looked so peaceful or beautiful. The thin morning mist was floating on the Silvermoon Lake’s sleep in the distance. The sound of water ripples came in a rhythmic manner. The breeze blew by, and a breath of air seemed to carry a refreshing aura.

Could it be that he was really the only one who escaped from the crazy killing move of the Fish Dragon Sect yesterday? Was this secret really guarded by them?

Shen Shi thought in disbelief. At the same time, he couldn’t help but become even more curious about what treasures had appeared in that place. However, he still didn’t want to cause any trouble, nor did he intend to walk in the direction of the Fish Dragon Sect. On the contrary, he led the little pig in another direction.

Let’s stay here for another two days. When the time comes, the people from the High Firmament Sect will come to pick us up. I will go back to meet them and return to the sect.

Shen Shi thought of this and walked forward with the little pig. Contrary to the absent-minded owner, the Little Hei pig that woke up early in the morning seemed to be very energetic. It vigorously opened up the path ahead. It sniffed and sniffed here and there, and occasionally went into the weeds to dig a few times. It seemed that it was working hard for its own rations for the day.

After walking for a while, the little black pig’s body suddenly paused. It seemed to have sensed something, and its eyes revealed a hint of joy. It immediately drilled into a bush that was half a person tall. Its mouth hooves went up and down together, searching for it. Sure enough, a short while later, a three-leaved, straight stalk, and a small yellow flower appeared in the bush.

The little black pig snorted twice. The little black pig was shocked and took a step back. He fixed his gaze and saw the little ferret that had been the size of a squirrel suddenly jump out from the herb. Its eyes were also fixed on the herb, and at the same time, it glared at the little black pig with a hint of vigilance.

The little black pig was instantly enraged. It snorted at the little ferret in a low voice. There was a hint of warning in its tone. Who knew that the little ferret looked weak, but it did not have the slightest bit of fear towards the little black pig. Instead, it took a step forward towards the spirit herb.

The Little Hei pig didn’t give up this spiritual herb. It also took a step forward unwilling to be outdone. The two demonic beast eyes stared at each other, as if they wanted to scare each other back with their eyes. However, it didn’t seem to work. On the contrary, a gust of wind blew over. The unknown spiritual herb trembled slightly, as if it was afraid.

At the same time, Shen Shi’s somewhat impatient voice came from outside the bushes.

“Little Hei, where have you been?”
