Killing God - Chapter 210
Chapter 210 Pro-commoner
In the evening, the bustling Liuyun City gradually calmed down. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets. As the last sunset in the sky gradually dimmed, the city looked like it was going to fall asleep. After all, there was only one place in this vast world that was known as the City of Night, and that was the Ten Thousand Year-old Capital, Tianhong City.
When night gradually fell and darkness submerged the streets in front of the door, the back door of the Hou Clan’s mansion quietly opened. Then, someone walked out and walked into the streets and alleys of Floating Cloud City in twos and threes with a calm expression. Soon, the darkness covered their silhouettes.
Although they seemed to be heading in different directions, if a pair of eyes that could see through the darkness looked down from the sky, they would discover that although these people from the Hou Clan walked in different directions, they would eventually circle around and gradually gather in the direction of the northern gate of Floating Cloud City.
About half an hour later, At the foot of a secluded wall outside the northern gate of Floating Cloud City, there were already a dozen people standing. Most of them stood there quietly and did not say anything. The leader, a man and a woman, looked at the city gate from time to time. Every once in a while, one or several figures would come over. Everything seemed to be very smooth, so their expressions were very calm.
It was a moonless night, but there were stars all over the sky. Looking up at the starry sky, it seemed that one could see a river of stars spanning the sky. The starlight flickered with a gentle and beautiful light, and it had an intoxicating beauty.
However, it was clear that no one in this group would pay attention to the starry sky above them. Through the starlight falling from the night sky, one could see that the man and woman standing at the front were the current master of the Hou Clan, Hou Yongchang, and his wife, Sun Qin.
After waiting for a while, Another burst of footsteps sounded in the direction of the city gate. Two figures walked over one after the other. The first one was young and handsome, with extraordinary bearing. He was the proud son of heaven of the Hou Clan, Hou Yuanliang. The man who was half a step behind him looked strong, his face slightly plump, and he was vaguely the same as the little fatty Hou Sheng from back then.
However, these two youths were already direct disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who had ascended to Jinhong Mountain. They had already cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm and were no longer Wu Xiaameng.
Seeing the two of them coming over, the crowd seemed to be relieved. Hou Yongchang nodded and smiled. Sun Qin’s gaze landed on her only son, and her loving and caring expression could not be concealed.
Seeing the crowd on their side, Hou Yuanliang hurriedly quickened his pace. He walked to his parents and whispered, “Father, mother.”
Hou Sheng, who was following behind him, hurriedly came over to greet him. Sun Qin only smiled and held her son’s hand. She did not look at him much. Hou Yongchang nodded and smiled at Hou Sheng. Then, he said to Sun Qin, “Everyone is here. Let’s go. Don’t waste too much time here.”
Sun Qin nodded in agreement, but she was reluctant to let go of Hou Yuanliang’s arm. She pulled him to the side and whispered,
“Little Liang, although we are quite confident in going to Gaoling Mountain this time, there are still many monsters and monsters in the tomb of the previous generation. You must be careful. If there is no need, don’t leave your father and me too far away …”
Hou Yuanliang looked at it with disapproval. His young face was filled with pride. He smiled and said, “Mother, I’m not a three-year-old child anymore. Why do you keep saying this?”
Sun Qin snorted and said, “No matter how old you are, you are still mother’s son. What are you doing? Tell me that you are unhappy?”
Hou Yuanliang shrunk his neck and laughed. He didn’t say anything. Sun Qin usually had no prestige in the Hou Clan. Not only Hou Yongchang, but even her only son, Hou Yuanliang, was afraid that she would outnumber the others. Seeing that his mother seemed to be slightly angry, he immediately shrank.
Sun Qin glared at him and said, “In short, you just have to be careful. Remember, sooner or later, our Hou Clan’s inheritance will be handed over to you. The future is vast, and you should cherish it yourself. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, be careful that this inheritance will benefit outsiders.” After saying that, she suddenly sneered and looked at Hou Yongchang who was standing beside her.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Hou Yongchang’s face. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He sighed. He turned around and said to the crowd behind him, “Master Wen, thank you for your trouble.”
Someone in the crowd agreed in a muffled voice. Then, a few short old men walked out. They looked thin and dry, but their eyes were shining brightly. When he appeared, Hou Yongchang and Sun Qin both smiled politely at him. It was obvious that he was a person of extraordinary status. Only then did they deserve the courtesy of the Hou Clan’s head and matriarch.
Master Wen walked to a nearby empty space. After seeing that there was no one around, he wiped his hand on his waist, and then there was an object that was dark and invisible. Then, he heard a faint strange voice coming from his mouth, as if he was chanting a curse. A faint Spiritual Energy spread out around him, as if it was real.
This method of turning spirits into reality was precisely the obvious characteristic of the Divine Concept. Obviously, this seemingly unshocking Master Wen was actually a great expert of the Divine Concept. In the Primordial Chaos Cultivation World, Adepts above the Origin Core Realm were naturally a small group of people who stood at the peak. Dao techniques could move mountains and fill seas. However, people at that realm rarely appeared in the mortal world. Most of them cultivated in the Immortal Mountain Resort. This was because most of the time, great cultivators at the Divine Concept Realm were already peak figures they could normally see.
The Hou Clan had brought out all their elites and even brought along experts of the Divine Concept. It could be seen that the clan’s accumulated strength over the years was truly extraordinary. On the other hand, it could also be seen that the Hou Clan seemed to have some understanding of the tomb hidden in Mount Gao Ling, but they were determined to obtain it.
As the curse text was chanted, the black figure seemed to be stimulated by something. It began to slowly grow and its speed became faster and faster. After a while, a floating immortal boat appeared in front of everyone. It was several zhang long and could accommodate around twenty people. It looked like an extremely rare flying magic treasure.
Seeing the floating immortal boat appear, Hou Yongchang and his wife nodded and made a gesture to the people around them. Everyone started walking towards the immortal boat. Hou Yuanliang and Hou Sheng also followed the crowd. Hou Yongchang lagged behind and gently pulled Sun Qin. Sun Qin turned around to look at him and said, “What’s wrong?”
Hou Yongchang glanced at her and frowned, “What are you doing in front of Little Liang now? Why are you not giving me some face as a father?”
Sun Qin sneered and said with a cold expression, “If it weren’t for me holding on, I’m afraid you would still want to forcefully pull that evil beast over this time, right?”
Hou Yongchang paused for a moment and suddenly lowered his voice. However, he could vaguely hear the anger in his voice. He said, “Xiaowang, he is also my son after all!”
Sun Qin coldly glanced at him and said coldly, “It’s your son, but it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I only know that this part of the Hou Clan’s family business will be Xiao Liang’s in the future. No one else should be delusional!”
“You!” Hou Yongchang was furious for a moment, but Sun Qin didn’t seem to be afraid or nervous at all. She just smiled faintly and turned around to leave. Hou Yongchang wanted to say something else, but he just looked at his wife’s back and was stunned for a moment. In the end, he was depressed. He let out a long sigh and didn’t say anything else.
Sun Qin naturally heard that sigh. However, she was not moved at all. There was even a trace of mockery on her face. She had seen through the man behind her for many years. If she hadn’t relied on her mother’s house, where would the Hou family have been today? Hou Yongchang wanted to rebel? Hehe, give him some more courage.
She was just about to walk towards the Immortal Boat, Suddenly, a few long-winded noises came from the bushes not far from him. Sun Qin and Hou Yongchang were both shocked. Turning his head, he saw that the grass in the bush split apart and a black Little Hei pig came out. He lay on the bush and looked at them. He sniffed the surroundings and seemed to sense that the people in front of him were not easy to provoke. He let out two low cries and quickly turned around and ran back.
Sun Qin frowned and took a step forward. But at this moment, Hou Yongchang walked past her and looked at her with a gloomy expression. He said indifferently, “It’s important. It’s just an ordinary pig. Don’t worry about it.”
Sun Qin looked up and saw that the Little Hei pig seemed to be running very fast in the darkness of the night. Very quickly, it had disappeared into the darkness. It was unknown where it had gone in the blink of an eye. After a moment of silence, she took a closer look at her surroundings. Her divine sense slowly swept through the surroundings and confirmed that there was indeed no one nearby. Finally, she turned around and walked onto the floating immortal boat.
Master Wen, who stood at the forefront of the floating immortal boat and waited for a long time, saw that Sun Qin was the last to board the immortal boat. His eyes lit up. He made a strange spell in his hand, A surge of spiritual energy was emitted. A moment later, dozens of places beneath the Floating Immortal Ark lit up. They were sparkling and translucent. This was the spirit crystal radiance that all cultivators in the cultivation world were most familiar with. Moreover, most of them were not single spirit crystals, but multiple or even more than ten spirit crystals gathered together, emitting boundless Spiritual Energy that drove the Floating Immortal Ark forward.
Just this amount of consumed spirit crystals was probably not small, and only a wealthy aristocratic family like the Hou Clan could afford it.
Under the starlight, the Floating Immortal Ark quickly rushed up into the night sky. Its speed became faster and faster. Finally, it almost transformed into a meteor as it flew across the horizon and flew swiftly towards the north. Because they were outside the city, the movements of the Hou Clan’s people were very small. They did not alert many people. However, under the night sky, there were still gazes that noticed the meteor-like light.
A small black figure ran through the darkness of the night, past a few high and low hills, until it reached a dark forest several hundred feet away from where the Hou Clan boarded the boat. It was the little black pig.
He looked at the black forest and snorted twice. A moment later, a figure walked out of the forest. It was Shen Shi. He squatted down and touched the little black pig’s head. Little black pressed his head against his palm, and his mouth seemed to giggle twice.
Shen Shi smiled and raised his head to look at the sky. He saw that the ray of light had already disappeared, leaving only a faint trace of remnant mark on the night sky. He looked for a while, then lowered his head to look at the Little Hei pig and said,
“Xiao Hei, have you remembered their scent?”
The little black pig looked at him, as if it was stunned for a while, and then the little pig nodded.
Shen Shi was silent. Looking left and right, this little pig did not look reliable. However, there were quite a few experts from the Hou Clan who were far superior to him. They really could not be too close. It was even harder to follow them without being discovered by them. Especially when the Hou Clan took out the Floating Immortal Ark in the end, this possibility became even more difficult.
Helplessly, Shen Shi could only bite the bullet and let the little pig go over and smell it. He hoped that with its sense of smell, which was much more sensitive than a dog’s nose, it would be able to remember a little bit of smell. Tracking was impossible. In the future, it might be possible to run into it in the Gaoling Mountains.
However, when he thought about it now, it was because the chances were too slim. Moreover, the Hou Clan had walked so quickly. By the time he arrived at the mountain, they might have already picked up the most important tomb.
Shen Shi looked at the sky in the night and shook his head. He smiled bitterly.
