Killing God - Chapter 251
Chapter 251 Directory
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. A strange expression flashed across his eyes, but his expression did not change. He said, “What happened to the Hou Clan?”
Sun You sighed and said, “The news that just came back from Mount Gaoling yesterday said that someone was excavating the ruins in the depths of the nameless tomb and discovered quite a few more ghosts. Most of them were killed by Senior Daoist, but there were also quite a few fish that escaped into Mount Gaoling. However, they were all ordinary ghosts and were not harmful.” However, when they were cleaning up the ruins, some dried corpses were found. From their clothes and barely recognizable faces, they confirmed that they were the Hou Clan’s Patriarch and his wife, as well as their only son, Hou Yuanliang.
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. I didn’t expect that someone would find the corpses of the Hou Clan so quickly. However, after careful consideration, the cultivators who passed after the collapse of Mount Gao Ling were no longer mainly rogue cultivators. Most of them were disciples sent out by famous sects like Lingxiao Sect. There were countless elites inside, and their commands were even more effective. They were naturally completely different from those rogue cultivators.
However, since the corpses of the Hou Clan had been found, it was unknown if the Primordial Yin Dragon in the huge cave beneath Lonely Peak had also been discovered. He suddenly felt a little uneasy. It was as if he suddenly felt that he had forgotten something important. This matter must have something to do with the Yin Dragon, Shaman, Ghost, and other foreign objects that were under Soul Suppressing Abyss that day, but he couldn’t remember what it was right now.
Perhaps, it was just an illusion?
Shen Shi thought to himself. He raised his head to look at Sun You, only to find that his friend’s expression was a little gloomy, as if he wasn’t in a good mood. Shen Shi felt a little strange and said, “What’s wrong with you?”
Sun You sighed and said, “Madam Hou’s surname is Sun. Her name is Qin. She is my grandfather’s direct daughter. In terms of seniority, she is my direct aunt.”
Shen Shi was shocked. The image of Sun Qin that day under Soul Suppressing Abyss suddenly appeared in his mind. However, he was not familiar with this woman and did not pay special attention to her before. Therefore, his impression was somewhat blurry. He only remembered that she seemed to be a rich and dignified woman. However, her appearance after death was just like that. There was nothing to say.
Shen Shi shook his head slightly and sighed in his heart. Then, he patted Sun You’s shoulder and said, “Are you and your aunt very close? I’m sorry.”
Sun You smiled and said calmly, “You can’t say how close you are. My aunt has been doted on by my grandfather since she was young, and she has the most arrogant temperament, especially when it comes to the difference between the first wife and the second wife.” He turned to look at Shen Shi and shrugged his shoulders. “You know, my father is the second oldest. Although I’m not raised by a concubine, in her eyes, I’m still not as pleasing as Sun Heng, the grandson of the first wife.”
Shen Shi paused slightly and said, “Could it be that your aunt said something to you?”
However, Sun You shook his head and said, “That’s not the case. I am at least the real young master of the Sun Family’s Second Room, and no one can touch me.” “However, my aunt told my grandfather several times that my cousin Sun Heng was exceptionally intelligent and talented, far surpassing the other disciples of the Sun Clan. Therefore, it would be best for him to inherit the position of the Sun Clan’s Clan Master in the future.”
Shen Shi stopped and turned to look at Sun You. Sun You’s expression was also faint as he looked at him.
The two of them looked at each other. After a while, they suddenly smiled at the same time. Shen Shi patted his shoulder and the two of them continued to walk forward together, as if the words they had just said were just casual words.
After walking for a while, just as he was about to reach the edge of Guanhai platform, Sun You suddenly said, “I heard that other than the three members of their family, there were also many corpses found in the mountains. Most of them were elite cultivators from the Hou Clan. I’m afraid that all the essence of the Hou Clan was destroyed there this time.”
Shen Shi was stunned. He hadn’t expected that the Hou Clan would suffer such a huge loss in Mount Gaoling. However, when he thought back, it seemed that this clan was known as a famous clan. However, in front of such a terrifying and heaven-defying existence like the Shaman Ghost, the strength of a clan truly didn’t have any power to resist. If he wanted to blame it, he could only blame the Hou Clan for being too greedy.
“The Hou Clan is finished.” Beside him, Young Friend Sun sighed softly. There was not much regret in his tone, but there was also some emotion in his tone.
Shen Shi frowned and said, “No way. With your aunt’s relationship, won’t your Sun Clan help? Only your Sun Clan will come forward. I don’t think anyone in Floating Cloud City dares to touch the Hou Clan’s property.”
Sun You sneered and said, “People are kind. Don’t even mention death. Just watch carefully. In a few days, once you fully understand the current situation of the Hou Clan, a good show will be staged in Floating Cloud City.”
Shen Shi remained silent for a moment and said, “Then your Sun Clan …” Halfway through, he stopped talking.
Sun You sneered and said, “Are you trying to tell me if our Sun Clan will rob us?” “There’s nothing to be afraid of. My grandfather is wholeheartedly cultivating. If his daughter and grandson die, he won’t care about these mundane matters. However, my eldest uncle who is in charge of the Sun Clan right now, just watch him. He’s definitely the fastest to charge. Furthermore, I’ll bet you that the Sun Clan will most likely get the most out of the Hou Clan after this big cake is split.”
Shen Shi couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “If this really is the case, then it would be a bit ugly to eat.”
Sun You snorted coldly and said mockingly, “What is eating like? How much spirit crystals can it be worth? The Hou Clan is one of the four great families in Floating Cloud City. How many properties does it have and how much spirit crystals is it worth?”
Shen Shi was speechless.

The two of them chatted as they walked. They unknowingly left the Sea Observation Platform and walked to the Five Elements Hall where the Hall of Arts was located.
In the mouth of the seven great halls of the Soaring Firmament Sect Only the Hall of Arts and the Hall of Arts did not have any inheritance around the viewing platform. The hall entrance hall was built in a remote place, so there were always people who would quietly joke that it was inferior to the other hall entrances. However, in reality, it was pretty much the same. When standing outside the Five Elements Hall, one could clearly feel that the popularity of this place was much more deserted than that of the viewing platform.
However, the Five Elements Hall in front of them had an extraordinary aura. It was built along a mountain with towering eaves and enormous pillars. From the looks of it, it wasn’t inferior to the other famous palaces. It was just that there wasn’t anyone moving at the main entrance.
When Shen Shi and Sun You were still on Qingyu Island, there was also a Five Elements Palace on the island, but it was much smaller than the one here. Sun You sized up the magnificent hall and whispered to Shen Shi, “You said that you wanted to buy magic arts to cultivate magic arts. Have you decided what magic arts you want to buy?”
Shen Shi shook his head slightly and said, “I’ve thought of something, but I still have to consult the senior brothers here after I enter.”
Sun You nodded. In any case, he wasn’t particularly interested in the Five Elements Technique. Today, he was just accompanying Shen Shi for a stroll. The two of them walked up the stone steps of the Five Elements Hall. There were very few disciples coming and going here, so it was easy to see how many people were standing at the entrance of the hall. There were men and women among them. Their expressions were calm and did not attract any attention.
However, just as Shen Shi and Sun You were about to enter the hall, a woman who had just brushed past them suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Shi. After carefully examining her, she shouted, “Shen Shi?”
Shen Shi was stunned. He turned around and saw that this woman looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he was surprised. “Senior Sister Xu? Why is it you?” He asked in astonishment.
The woman smiled faintly. Her smile was familiar and friendly, but it was precisely Xu Yanzhi, who had stayed on the big ship heading for the demon island and had interacted with Shen Shi back then when she was on Green Fish Island.
At this moment, Xu Yanzhi looked at Shen Shi and smiled, “It has been many years since I last saw you. Your height is much taller. When you disappeared in the Monster Island, I remember that you were still a teenager.”
Shen Shi also revealed a smile. Back then, Xu Yanzhi treated him quite well. He immediately smiled and said, “Then Senior Sister Xu, you haven’t changed much from back then. You’re as beautiful as flowers.”
Xu Yanzhi chuckled and scolded, “I haven’t seen you for a few years, but you’ve actually learned to talk nonsense. Alright, come in with me.”
Shen Shi was a little surprised and said, “What’s wrong?”
Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, “Didn’t you come here to buy some Five Elements Spell Techniques? Junior Sister Qingzhu has already told me about this. She specifically asked me to take care of you.”
Only then did Shen Shi understand. He cupped his fists and said, “Senior Sister Xu, thank you so much.”
Xu Yanzhi smiled and led them into the Five Elements Hall. Sun You followed behind Shen Shi and smiled quietly, “Not bad, you actually learned to flatter women.”
Shen Shi glanced at him and said indifferently, “Those who are close to the ink are black. I learned it from you.”
“Bullshit, if I really have the ability, how could I be sneered at by those two sisters of the Zhong Family all day long!”
…

Xu Yanzhi brought the two of them into the Five Elements Hall. There were more people in the hall than outside, but compared to the huge hall, it was still sparse, making the Five Elements Hall look even taller and more spacious.
Similar to the layout of the Five Elements Palace in Qingyu Island, There were also five-colored patterns on the floor of the main hall, but there were several more corridors at the end of the hall. Xu Yanzhi brought them to a quiet room and first let them sit down at the table in the room. Then, she went to the bookcase beside the room and took out a blue-covered scroll and placed it in front of Shen Shi.
‘”Junior Sister Qingzhu said that you came here to buy some Tier 2 Five Elements Spells. I don’t know if you’ve made up your mind. However, the Tier 2 Spell Catalogue here is in this volume, and there is also a brief introduction. You can read it carefully and then make your decision. If you don’t know anything, you can also ask me,” said Junior Sister Qingzhu.
Shen Shi nodded and flipped open the cover of the scroll. Sure enough, he saw that there were many names of the Five Elements Spells clearly written on the clean white paper inside. Furthermore, they were all accompanied by simple introductions, such as attributes, power, and the appearance of the spells. It could be said that it was clear at a glance.
After roughly flipping through it, Shen Shi estimated that there were roughly a hundred Tier 2 spells recorded in this catalogue alone. He couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart. Not to mention that the number of hundred was inconspicuous, However, it must be known that this was an era where the Five Elements Technique was extremely weak. It was thousands of years ago when it was at its peak, and countless techniques had been lost. The Lingxiao Sect Art Hall was able to gather so many Tier 2 Five Elements Techniques, along with the number of other Tier 1 techniques. This foundation was truly worthy of being called a famous sect for 10,000 years. It was truly extraordinary.
Among the more than a hundred Tier 2 spells, they were divided into five categories. Naturally, they were five major types of spells: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Among them, there were all popular and unpopular spells. There were even many spells that Shen Shi had never heard of before that were recorded on this book, giving him an eye-opener.
Shen Shi quickly immersed himself in this world of spells. Sun You sat on the side and yawned in boredom. Xu Yanzhi looked at Shen Shi with great interest. He sat across the table and looked carefully. He didn’t know what he was thinking.
After a while, Xu Yanzhi suddenly noticed that Shen Shi had started to scroll through it for a long time, but his gaze was mostly focused on the five elements of the Metal Element technique. He couldn’t help but be a little surprised and asked with a smile,
“What? Are you particularly interested in metal spells?”
Shen Shi raised his head. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Senior Sister Xu, I’ve heard in the past that if you want to deal with enemies like ghosts, the Metal element lightning spell has a miraculous effect. Isn’t that right?”
Xu Yanzhi nodded and said, “Indeed.” After pausing for a moment, she looked at Shen Shi with more inquiry in her eyes and said, “In that case, you want to choose one or two lightning spells to deal with ghosts. Could it be that you want to go back to Gaoling Mountain again?”
Shen Shi smiled and nodded slightly. Then, he seemed to recall something. He looked at Xu Yanzhi and said,
“Senior Sister, I almost forgot to ask, what is the current price of the spells in our hall?”
