Killing God - Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Undercurrent
“Hahahaha, the weather is pretty good today … Speaking of which, on the day our Ling Xiao Sect invited new disciples into the sect, the spring flowers bloomed and the sky was high and the clouds were wide. This is a good sign. Perhaps in the future, a few geniuses will come out from these new disciples. Perhaps.”
A burst of laughter accompanied these words. Kang Chen walked over from the side at an unknown time and came between the two of them. He smiled and said to Wang Gen and Gan Wenqing. Obviously, he was here to make things right.
Wang Gen looked up at the blue sky and said, “The weather in Haizhou has always been like this in April. There’s nothing strange about it. It doesn’t bode well.”
Kang Chen was stunned and could not continue. Although he knew that Senior Brother’s temperament had always been like this, he couldn’t help but stare at him at this moment.
Wang Gen turned a blind eye. After a moment of silence, he cupped his fists at Gan Wenqing and said, “Junior Sister Gan, I am a rough person. If my words were wrong and offended Junior Sister, I will apologize to you first.”
“Senior Brother Wang, you are Elder Sun’s proud disciple, and your profound cultivation has won the respect of the sect’s martial brothers. I can’t afford to be a disciple,” Gan Wenqing said, frowning.
Wang Gen smiled and turned his gaze to the chattering teenagers in the crowd, especially Gan Ze, who was the focus of the crowd. “Is that the young man from the Gan Clan?” He said.
“His name is Gan Ze.”
Wang Gen nodded and turned to look at Gan Wenqing with a sincere expression. Combined with his resolute face, he had an extraordinary bearing and said, “Junior Sister, you and I both know the rules of the sect regarding these rookies’ disciples.” Before reaching the Origin Condensation Realm, they were surrounded by the Bluefish Six Islands, and no outside help was allowed. This was a strict order issued by our sect’s ancestor 200 years ago. What he did was to abandon all the entanglements and let all the rookies, whether they were born into aristocratic clans or ordinary people, start at the same starting point. Only in this way would he be able to truly see who exactly had talent, bones, hearts, and perseverance that was indispensable for cultivation. “All of this is for their own good and for the future of our sect.”
At this point, Wang Gen paused for a moment. He looked at Gan Wenqing and whispered, “You and I both came out of the ‘Green Fish Six Islands’ together back then. I don’t believe that Junior Sister Lingyun doesn’t understand this logic. Perhaps Junior Sister Lingyun has other worries in your heart, you might as well just say it to me.”
Gan Wenqing’s bright eyes lowered slightly. After a moment of silence, she said, “Senior Brother Wang, you have always remembered everything. Junior Sister, I admire you. I think you know my relationship with the Gan Clan well.”
Wang Gen nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I know a little.”
Gan Wenqing said indifferently, “Then Senior Brother, I believe you also understand that although I am not a direct relative of the Gan Clan, but a dying girl who was picked up by the kind mother Gan Ze back then, the Gan Clan has treated me like a biological daughter for many years. Mother Gan Ze even treated me like a biological sister. This kindness is like a sea, and I will never be able to return it in this lifetime.” Now Ganze is the last bit of blood left in my dead sister’s bones. When she left, I personally swore an oath before she fell ill, promising to take good care of her only son. “Senior Brother should be able to understand this little bit of kindness.”
Wang Gen nodded, but did not reply.
Gan Wenqing sighed softly and said, “Senior Brother, what you said just now is reasonable. If this group of rookies really go to Qingyu Island and treat them equally, I will definitely not say anything else. However, with so many disciples from aristocratic families, I’m afraid …”
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Gen frowned and suddenly cut off his voice, “Junior Sister, be careful.”
Gan Wenqing glanced at Wang Gen and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. However, there was no anger on her face, and her expression remained calm. After a while, Wang Gen said indifferently, “Junior Sister, before we left the mountain today, a few elders of the sect had already discussed this matter. During this five-year period, the person in charge of the affairs of the six islands has already decided that I will be in charge.”
Gan Wenqing raised her head abruptly and was obviously shocked. “What? Didn’t Senior Brother Du decide?” She asked in astonishment.
For the first time, Wang Gen revealed an expression of helplessness. He bitterly smiled and said, “Senior Brother Du’s personality has always been unruly. However, three days ago, he caused a huge disaster and disobeyed Elder Sun. After being persuaded away, he didn’t give up. He cursed loudly and said unpleasant words. That’s all. However, he actually cursed Shi Granduncle …”
Even though Gan Wenqing had always been calm and understood the most famous senior brother of the sect, she still took a deep breath when she heard the figure of “Martial Uncle” and her face immediately turned pale. Wang Gen sighed and said, “After this matter became serious, the Sect Leader’s Martial Uncle was furious. He personally captured Senior Brother Du. After punishing him heavily, he sent him directly to the Black Cloud Cave, causing him to face the wall for three years. Therefore, this matter was finally pushed onto me.”
Gan Wenqing was speechless, as if she was still digesting the shock of this important news. She murmured for a long time, “I didn’t expect such a big event to happen on the mountain just a few days after I left the mountain.”
Wang Gen smiled bitterly, and then his expression changed. “Junior Sister Wen Qing, we have been in the same sect for many years. Back then, we were even rookies who came out of the six islands. There was some aroma and fire in them.” I put down a sentence here. In these four years, as long as I am in charge of the Bluefish Six Islands, I do not dare to say that everything will be done impartially and righteously. But at least, I will not deliberately make things difficult for your Gan Clan’s Young Master. Furthermore, I will not allow other clan disciples to violate the rules of the sect and secretly borrow power. Do you believe me? ”
Gan Wenqing hesitated. Wang Gen glanced at her and then said, “I understand your worries, but it is a strict order for the sect to prohibit disciples from interfering in the affairs of the newbies of the six islands. Although Junior Sister Wenqing’s cultivation is highly valued in front of the elders, it would be inappropriate for you to interfere.”
Gan Wenqing’s expression was constantly changing. There was hesitation in her beautiful eyebrows. Obviously, she was moved by Wang Gen’s words. In fact, she did understand in her heart that Wang Gen’s words were true. After all, the rules of the sect were like that. After pondering for a while, she unconsciously looked behind Bai Xianyan. In this short period of time, the number of youths on the rock seemed to have increased by quite a bit. It was likely that some rookies had just arrived here, and they saw that the scale had already exceeded three hundred people.
Of these newcomers, only a few directly walked into the circle at the center of the crowd. A small number of them stood in the second circle, and most of the newcomers stood in the outermost circle with ignorance on their faces.
These new teenagers may not know, However, Gan Wenqing and Wang Gen, who were quite high-ranking in the Ling Xiao Sect, had only seen them for a moment before they understood. This included Gan Ze, Sun You, and the others. Twenty to thirty youths that were different from the others were all descendants of aristocratic families from the subordinate Ling Xiao Sect, and they were the seven to eight strongest. The weaker members of the family could only stand on the second floor.
A small and intimate circle had actually faintly revealed some outlines on the first day before they were about to join the sect. The current youth’s thoughts were truly extremely heavy.
Gan Wenqing’s bright eyes flashed past. She looked at Gan Ze calmly amongst the youths from the aristocratic families. A smile hung on the corner of her mouth as she chatted with the people around her. She seemed to be able to do it smoothly. She felt relieved for some reason. Thinking about it, Although undercurrents were surging inside and outside the sect, Many vassal clans are said to have views on the Gan Clan’s special status for many years, However, the Gan Clan was not that easy to bully. Even if it was no longer as glorious as it used to be, there was still an Elder at the Origin Core Realm in the sect. Besides, the founding Patriarch of the sect was still surnamed Gan. In the end, what qualifications did these vassal clans have to exclude others?
Seriously, some sensible people or elders of aristocratic families would privately tell their children to have a good relationship with the young master of the Gan Clan when they saw how many elders in the sect treated the Gan Clan.
With that thought in mind, Gan Wenqing turned around and nodded to Wang Gen, “Senior Brother, what you said is very true. Wen Qing is impetuous and has been taught. Everything will follow the rules. If nothing unexpected happens, I will not interfere in the affairs of the rookies. It is also good for Gan Ze to be tempered a little.”
Wang Gen smiled and nodded, but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. This woman in front of him was extremely talented, and her cultivation was even more courageous and diligent. She was not inferior to him in the slightest. She was also highly valued and liked by the sect elders. If she forcefully interfered in the affairs of the six islands, even though she wasn’t afraid, she would definitely have a terrible headache.

Shen Shi stood there for almost half an hour before he saw the rookies on the stone steps. After a while, even the two Lingxiao Sect disciples standing at the foot of the mountain came up. It seemed that the rookies had arrived today.
The two Lingxiao Sect disciples who walked onto the boulder waved their hands at Wang Gen and Gan Wenqing, who were standing at the front. There was a quick response from that side. A moment later, a calm voice rang out, echoing above the Immortal Worshipping Rock. “Silence!”
This voice was deep and grand. It was precisely the voice that had sounded once before, and the person who spoke could clearly see it at this moment. It was Wang Gen. After he said that, the teenagers on Bai Xianyan who were originally chatting and joking immediately went silent. Wang Gen took a step forward, his eyes shining brightly as he swept across the crowd. Many teenagers were intimidated by his might, and for a moment, no one dared to look at him. They all lowered their heads.
Wang Gen did not say anything else, he simply said, “It’s already the time to receive them. The rookie disciples have also arrived. Let’s go back to the mountain!”
With that, he turned around and walked to the front of Bai Xianyan with large strides. His hands caressed like a ball. Suddenly, a white light flashed between his palms. A moment later, it seemed to resonate with the rock beneath his feet. A circular golden array pattern actually lit up beneath his feet.
Golden light flickered, reflecting the ancient and complex formation patterns that became even more mysterious and boundless. In the boundless azure sea breeze, it was as if an ancient Brahma song had also come from the depths of this giant rock. It was like an ancient god chanting in a low voice. An invisible yet abundant tremendous force emitted from the depths of this giant rock.
Above the flat boulder, dozens of identical circular golden array patterns lit up one after another. At the center of each array pattern, there was actually a disciple of the Soaring Firmament Sect. Everyone’s expression was solemn and upright, and their movements were similar to Wang Gen’s. They were all focused and diligent in casting their spells.
A moment later, dozens of golden pillars of light shot up from the top of the giant rock like thunder, rushing straight into the sky. The Brahma Sound suddenly rose high and resounded through the clouds. The enormous Celestial Worshipping Rock emitted a rumbling sound, slowly floating in the air in disbelief. Immortal magic divine abilities were once again displayed in the mortal world.
After the initial silence, the Celestial Worshipping Rock was instantly filled with joy. The hundreds of youths were all cheering happily. Obviously, the incredibly spectacular Immortal Clan Dao Art was precisely the Heaven-shocking divine ability displayed by the Golden Rainbow Mountain’s Soaring Firmament Sect. As Celestial Worshipping Rock ascended into the sky, it also indicated that they were about to officially embark on the Grand Dao of Cultivation from today onwards.
In the future, the myriad of meteors and magnificent prospects seemed to be unfolding before the eyes of all the youths, so how could it not make people excited and happy?
Wang Gen and Gan Wenqing exchanged glances as they heard the laughter and cries of the youths behind them. The corners of their mouths curled into a smile. Many years ago, when they were young, they had almost the same scene on the Immortal Worshipping Rock.
In the crowd, Shen Shi’s expression was much calmer than the joyful youth around him. However, there was still a hint of joy in his eyes as he stared deeply at the magical and magnificent scene around him.
The Misty Immortal Mountain and the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation seemed to be right in front of him.
