Killing God - Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Interrogate
Shen Shi’s heart trembled. For many days, he had been worried that he would leave Duanyue City to stay at Silvermoon Lake for a few days. The reason why he came back the last day was actually because he did not want to encounter such a situation. To say that he didn’t want to meet the last person in Broken Moon City right now, these disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect, including Nangong Ying, were undoubtedly the ones he didn’t want to see.

And looking at these people’s appearances, He seemed to be waiting for him here, The meaning behind this was rather subtle. Shen Shi felt that something was wrong in his heart. He was afraid that the thing he was most worried about would happen. However, in terms of face, he managed to maintain his composure. However, his footsteps subconsciously stopped. He looked over and revealed a look of surprise. He said, “Eh, why are you all here?”

Nangong Ying smiled faintly. Without saying anything, Geng Cheng, who was sitting beside her, also stood up and looked at Shen Shi. Compared to Nangong Ying, Geng Cheng’s expression was different. Nangong Ying’s expression was calm but her gaze towards Shen Shi carried a hint of inquiry. However, Geng Cheng looked helpless and impatient. He waved at Shen Shi and frowned.

“If I asked you to come over, you can just come over. Where did you get so many questions?”

Shen Shi only felt his heartbeat slowly quicken. But there was nothing on his face, However, he refused to go to the table where the few of them were. One had to know that the three disciples of Xuanjian Sect were all at the Origin Condensation Realm, far superior to him. Nangong Ying’s Dao Cultivation Realm was even higher, and Shen Shi could not even tell how deep it was. He thought of the old man of the Fish Dragon Sect who had been chased away by her that day. Perhaps this seemingly beautiful young woman was already at the Divine Concept Realm in the Dao Cultivation Realm.

The four of them either sat or stood there. Although they didn’t make any noise or act strangely, they had inadvertently caused tremendous pressure on Shen Shi. Seeing Shen Shi standing there motionlessly and not walking over, Nangong Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. Fu Jun and Ding He, who had similar expressions to Geng Cheng, also turned their heads and looked at him with surprise in their eyes.

Geng Cheng’s eyes lit up and his expression sank slightly. He looked at Shen Shi and said coldly, “What’s wrong? Could it be that we don’t have enough face to ask for Young Master Shen’s help?”

He did not intentionally suppress his voice here. It was because the guests at the other tables in the Three Springs Pavilion had clearly heard this sentence. They all turned their heads and noticed that there seemed to be a conflict here.

Fu Jun, who was sitting at the side, snorted. Suddenly, he stood up and took a step forward. He said in a loud voice, “Everyone, please help yourselves to the affairs of the Mysterious Sword Sect.”

A commotion broke out among the surrounding drinkers. Right now, in Broken Moon City, the word “Xuanjian Sect” was really more useful than any other name. Fu Jun said. A moment later, almost all the guests got up and left. In a short while, the Three Springs Pavilion was already quiet. Even the shopkeeper of the restaurant was hiding far away and couldn’t even see a shadow.

Shen Shi glanced around at the corner of his eyes. He felt a little bitter in his heart, and his heart slowly sank. However, the matter was right in front of him. He couldn’t hide anymore. He secretly gritted his teeth and suppressed the tension in his heart. His expression also sank. He looked at Geng Cheng and said, “I wonder what you guys are looking for me for?”

He retorted. His body remained motionless, and at the same time, his expression showed some resistance to hostility. The expressions of Nangong Ying, Geng Cheng, and the others changed slightly. Geng Cheng wanted to speak, but was blocked by Nangong Ying. After that, Nangong Ying looked up and down and said with a faint smile,

‘”We just invited Senior Brother Shen over to have a seat. There are also some things that I would like to ask for advice about. I didn’t expect Senior Brother Shen to react in such a manner. He seems to be very wary of us. I wonder why?”

Shen Shi took a deep breath. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Nangong Ying suddenly wave her hand. On the square table in front of her, there was already a spirit sword. She lay there quietly. Then, she raised her head and looked at Shen Shi. Her gaze turned cold as she said indifferently,

“May I ask if Senior Brother Shen has seen this Xuanjian Sect Spirit Sword Artifact before?”

The corner of Shen Shi’s eyes twitched abruptly. The appearance of the spirit sword was familiar to him as soon as he saw it. It didn’t take long for him to recognize it. It was Qian Yi’s spirit sword magic tool. After killing Qian Yi that day, he found this spirit sword when he was dealing with erasing all traces. Afterwards, Shen Shi deliberately buried it in another dense forest. He didn’t expect that these disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect would use some unknown method to dig it out.

Since the Spirit Sword had appeared, the thing that Shen Shi was most worried about had probably gone wrong. He was already feeling a little desperate, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head, saying, “Never seen it before!”

④

Before arriving at the Three Springs Pavilion, Geng Cheng and the other three disciples didn’t have much doubt about Shen Shi. After all, no matter who it was, how could a Qi Refining Realm cultivator be the murderer of Qian Yi, a Yuan Condensing Realm cultivator? However, Nangong Ying didn’t know why, but she still insisted on coming over. With her status, Tianjian Palace’s background, and the surname behind her, Geng Cheng and the others finally agreed to follow her here. It was just a formality.

However, at this moment, they really saw this Shen Shi in the Three Springs Pavilion. After this exchange of answers, Shen Shi’s intense wariness and hostility caused Geng Cheng and the others to instantly become somewhat serious. As they stared at this young man, their gazes were somewhat unfriendly. Ding He took the first step, and a faint killing intent quietly emitted from his body. He said coldly,

“Really?”

“I haven’t seen him before.” Shen Shi repeated.

Ding He sneered, “Since you don’t have a ghost in your heart, why don’t you dare to come over? Did we ever make it difficult for you to be so wary before?” At this point, he suddenly shouted, “You clearly have a ghost in your heart. What bad thing did you do?”

Shen Shi’s heart trembled. He saw the four of them staring at him coldly. His hands and feet felt slightly cold, but even under such pressure, he did not lose his composure. He only glanced at Ding He and said, “You said you weren’t sad for me? I remember that one of you almost killed me for no reason!”

Ding He was stunned, but he was speechless for a moment. Naturally, this brat was referring to Qian Yi, and the situation on that day seemed to be exactly the same as what he had said. This left Ding He speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Right at this moment, Nangong Ying said indifferently, “Senior Brother Shen, there’s no need to be angry. We just have something to ask. I heard that you were the only one who was with Qian Yi the last time he appeared outside the Grey Lizard Forest. Do you know where he went?”

Shen Shi took a deep breath. Sure enough, it was still this matter. He didn’t expect that he had done so much, but these people had actually found clues and found him. These disciples of famous sects were indeed outstanding and could not be underestimated.

However, no matter what, killing people was something that could not be admitted. Shen Shi shook his head resolutely and said, “I left there very quickly that day, not knowing where Senior Brother Qian was going.”

Nangong Ying stared at him, seemingly unwilling to relax at all. Then, she said, “Then where did you go after you left?”

Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat, but he knew that he couldn’t show any hesitation at this moment, so he said, “I’m coming to Duanyue City.”

Nangong Ying said, “When did you arrive at Broken Moon City?”

Shen Shi was stunned. He raised his head and looked at her. He couldn’t answer for a moment, but Nangong Ying’s expression was cold. She said one sentence after another, “Which way did you go to Duanyue City?”

“What did you do after entering the city? Did anyone see you enter the city that day?”

“The murderer in the forest, after killing someone, he still stays in place to erase his traces. He will definitely stay there for a long time. If you can find out who saw you arrive in the city, we will turn around and leave!”

“When exactly will you be able to enter the city?”

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Shen Shi’s forehead. Of course, he could not have entered the city the day Qian Yi died. Just as Nangong Ying had guessed, he had indeed stayed in the Grey Lizard Forest for a long time, so it was naturally impossible for him to find any witnesses to testify on his behalf.

That ball of paper was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and it was almost unable to contain the flames of truth that seemed to be about to burst out.

He forced a smile and shook his head. “I don’t know anyone in this city. No one will testify to me.”

However, Nangong Ying had already suppressed his aura. Even his voice was a little weaker. Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Nangong Ying’s clear eyes, and her right hand slapped the table. The spirit sword lying on the table seemed to have been heavily hit, and it instantly bounced up.

Shen Shi’s expression instantly changed. However, before he could react, Nangong Ying’s expression was solemn. She grasped the hilt of the spirit sword and let out a light shout. Instantly, a sword light soared into the sky and whistled like a gale. At this moment, the might of the sword was much stronger than when the spirit sword was in Qian Yi’s hands. The sword light rushed towards Shen Shi like mountains and seas.

Shen Shi was shocked and took a few steps back. However, the sword light was like a raging tide. It was already in front of him in an instant. There was no space for him to dodge. He was about to be chopped down by the sword. An icy cold sword qi almost froze his entire body.

Shen Shi roared angrily, but he didn’t expect that Nangong Ying would suddenly launch a sneak attack. Seeing that the sword light was unavoidable, he subconsciously moved his finger to counterattack. Even if he died under the sword light, he couldn’t let her …

Suddenly, the sword shadows in the sky suddenly dispersed. The cold killing intent was still gathered in front of her. The spirit sword was still in Nangong Ying’s hand, and her body had already flashed not far away from Shen Shi. The tip of the sword pointed at the space between Shen Shi’s eyebrows. A chill seemed to penetrate through his skin and was slowly seeping into Shen Shi’s body.

However, at this moment, Nangong Ying’s gaze did not look at Shen Shi’s face. Instead, it landed on the right hand that he was about to wave. A yellow talisman paper had already appeared in the crack of his hand.

“Talisman?”

A glimmer of light flashed across Nangong Ying’s bright eyes. At the same time, a cold smile slowly hung on the corner of her mouth. She slowly raised her head to look at Shen Shi with a bit of meaning. She said indifferently, “I can’t tell that although Senior Brother Shen is at the Qi Refining Realm, you are very good at the Five Elements Technique.”

Shen Shi grabbed the water archery talisman and suddenly tightened his fingers.
