Killing God - Chapter 274
Chapter 274 Alien Realm
Gu Lingyun smiled. She was as charming and beautiful as a spring flower. Her eyes lit up and she said, “This is the best. I thank you first.”
Shen Shi remained silent as he looked at her and waited for her to speak.
Gu Lingyun did not care about his slightly stiff expression. He smiled and said, “Well, I know that there is a so-called pill artifact array beast at the entrance of the seven great halls of the Golden Rainbow Mountain in the Lingxiao Sect Mountain Gate. There are countless scrolls of secret manuals in the hall, and even the profound arts and techniques of many of Lingxiao Sect’s Dao Arts are included in it …”
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Shi’s expression had already changed. Even his eyes turned cold as he interrupted, “Do you want me to go to the library to steal this cultivation technique for you?” “This is hard to obey. Not to mention the fact that there are countless experts guarding the library, it is impossible to steal a piece of paper from it. Even if I can steal it, I will not do it for you.”
He took a deep breath and looked at Gu Lingyun with a cold expression. “Lingxiao Sect has taught me a lesson and nurtured me. In the past, there was nothing wrong with me. There was no grudge and kindness. I can’t do such a thing. Furthermore, even if my father found out about this, he must have the same thoughts as me.”
His expression was resolute. Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Lingyun was stunned for a moment. Then, her gaze towards Shen Shi flickered slightly. She didn’t know what was on her mind at this moment, but she didn’t seem to be angry at all. A moment later, she smiled faintly and said, “Don’t be excited. Who told you that I was going to steal Lingxiao Sect’s Dao Arts and divine abilities?”
Shen Shi paused for a moment and looked at Gu Lingyun, only to see that woman’s bright and clear eyes were like water, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. Thinking that he would actually have the wrong intention, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
However, Gu Lingyun did not intend to embarrass him too much. He waved his hand and smiled, “I won’t let you do anything excessive or embarrassing. This matter doesn’t even have much to do with Lingxiao Sect. Just rest assured.”
Shen Shi nodded silently. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Since it was not the situation that he was most worried about, helping her without harming the Ling Xiao Sect and himself did not seem to be too offensive. However, he still did not know what Gu Lingyun was asking for. Shen Shi asked straightforwardly,
“Then what do you want me to do?”
After pondering for a moment, Gu Lingyun slowly said, “There is a place known as the ‘Sea of Books’ beneath the Ling Xiao Sect’s Art Hall. It is known that there are countless books that are as vast as the ocean. You must have cultivated in the Ling Xiao Sect for many years, right?”
Shen Shi nodded and said, “I know.”
Gu Lingyun said, “There are countless books in the sea of books, including a large number of ancient books. I mean those ancient books that belonged to the Heavenly Yao Royal Court at least 10,000 years ago.”
Shen Shi raised his eyebrows, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes. “I know about this. After the human-demon bloody battle, the demon race retreated, the royal court was destroyed, and Tianhong City, the capital of the demon race, was in a mess. Everything except the Demon Emperor Palace was occupied by us humans, including the Heavenly Book Pavilion, which has been collecting books for more than a hundred thousand years.” After the war ended, the others were not interested in the piles of ancient books and scrolls. Only the Six Sages, Li Yuan Wentian, and our Ling Xiao Sect’s ancestor, Gan Jingcheng, liked to read books the most. Therefore, the books in the Heavenly Book Pavilion would be divided between the Origin Sect and our Ling Xiao Sect in the future. “However, I heard that there are still more books from the Origin Sect, and their ‘Book Mountain’ collection is even larger than our ‘Sea of Books’.”
Gu Lingyun nodded and said, “That’s right, that’s about it. Back then, when the Heavenly Yao Palace’s Heavenly Book Pavilion was divided up, Yuanshi Sect and your Lingxiao Sect were roughly seventy to thirty percent apart. However, no matter what, the ancient books that belonged to the Demon race era tens of thousands of years ago are basically in your two families.”
Shen Shi glanced at her and frowned slightly. “Is your matter related to this?”
For some reason, Gu Lingyun suddenly fell silent for a moment. His eyes seemed to flicker, and he seemed to be hesitant. However, he nodded and said, “Yes.” After you return to the mountain, I would like to invite you to go to the sea of books. You don’t need to pay any attention to the other scrolls, just look at the ancient books of the Heavenly Yao Royal Court, especially the ancient scrolls of the last years of the Royal Court. Then help me find a person inside and see if there are any written records about him. “This matter is not urgent, and I know that it is very tedious to do, so if it is convenient for you, you can go for me a few more times. If there really is any writing about that person, write it down and tell me.”
Shen Shi was stunned, “Is it just as simple as reading a book?”
Gu Lingyun smiled and said, “Originally, it was. Otherwise, do you think I would let you do something incredibly dangerous and dangerous?”
Shen Shi was a little embarrassed for a moment. At first, he really had a similar thought in his heart. However, at this moment, it sounded like there was nothing serious wrong with this matter. His mood also relaxed a lot. He nodded and said,
“Alright, then what’s the name of the person you want me to investigate?”
Gu Lingyun’s two lush white and tender fingers twisted slightly. After pausing for a moment, he calmly said,
“Huang Ming.”
“What?” This time, Shen Shi’s body suddenly trembled, revealing an inconceivable stunned gaze as he looked at Gu Lingyun.

Blood Moon Realm.
Among the 108 worlds of Primordial Chaos, Blood Moon Realm was a rather remote alien realm. Based on Shen Shi’s calculation of the second and third realms when he returned from the Origin Realm, he had to travel through four ancient teleportation formations to reach the Blood Moon Realm from the Primordial Chaos Realm to the Blood Moon Realm.
In other words, the Blood Moon Realm could be said to be an extremely remote realm amongst the Primordial Chaos Realms.
Unlike the abundant spiritual energy and prosperity of the Primordial Chaos Master Realm, the environment of the Blood Moon Realm was extremely dangerous. It was said that the name of this realm originated from the fact that a blood-red moon would appear in the sky of this realm at the full moon every month, hence its name.
Under the influence of the Demonic Blood Moon, it was hard to say what kind of mysterious power it was. The creatures in this world had always been exceptionally violent and ferocious, regardless of whether it was demonic beasts or the strange outsiders that had been breeding here for thousands of years. However, although this world was dangerous, the various spirit materials it produced were equally abundant. Many of them were rare treasures in other places. There were even some spirit herbs, spirit stones, and other heavenly treasures that could only be produced in this world.
Thus, after the humans rose to rule the Primordial Chaos Realms, the Blood Moon Realm wasn’t affected much in the beginning. However, as the human cultivation realm became increasingly large and radical, human cultivators gradually appeared in this remote alien realm who came to explore and search for treasures.
Today, there were already quite a few human cultivators in the Blood Moon Realm. They had even built a city around the only ancient teleportation formation in this realm. It was considered a foothold of the human race in the Blood Moon Realm and was named Blood Moon City.
Although most of the things in Blood Moon City were still rough and simple, this place was originally a wilderness. It had been less than a hundred years since the humans had truly set foot in this place on a large scale. It was already considered a good situation to have such a situation.
At the very least, these days, for most human cultivators, they felt much better than before, because just two years ago, a branch of the Divine Immortal Society had opened in Blood Moon City.
Yes, the Divine Immortal Gathering, known as the number one chamber of commerce under the heavens, had already opened its branch in a remote and desolate city like the fifth floor of the Otherworldly Realm.
The opening of this branch, At that time, many cultivators in the city were shocked, but they were not optimistic. After all, this Blood Moon Realm was different from the mature and prosperous Second and Third Layers of the Realm. It was too dangerous. Although there were a lot of cultivators coming to explore, their harvests were not good in everyone’s impression. Moreover, it was often easy for them to die while exploring outside the city.
Just two years later, Not only did this branch of the Divine Immortal Society not close its doors and collapse, On the contrary, it was growing increasingly prosperous. Every day, it bought all kinds of spirit materials that cultivators found, and sold all kinds of cultivation necessities. With this kind of purchase and sale, business flourished. It easily defeated the small businesses in Blood Moon City one after another. Either they closed their doors and left, or they barely managed to survive there.
All the cultivators who came to Blood Moon City, regardless of whether they sold or bought, would definitely come to this branch of the Divine Immortal Society. Moreover, this place had always enjoyed an excellent reputation. It had always been a fair trade, never cheated people, and never had any fake or inferior products. After a long time, everyone gradually came to the conclusion that the person in charge of this branch of the Divine Immortal Association was a shopkeeper surnamed Shen.
However, he did not know where the news came from. It was said that Shopkeeper Shen was not handsome, short and fat, and he did not have any temperament. Especially when it came to cultivating, his talent was very poor. He was still at the Qi Refining Realm after a long time.
In the cultivation world, strength has always been valued. And this Qi Refining Stage shopkeeper clearly didn’t seem like a big shot who could control the situation. Coupled with a fierce and dangerous alien adventurer like the Blood Moon Realm, who wasn’t a bold and unruly figure, an expert among rogue cultivators, or a proud disciple of a sect, someone quickly went to look for trouble with Shopkeeper Shen in secret.
To cause trouble for Manager Shen, Naturally, it was to find trouble with the branch of the Divine Immortal Society. It was said that Manager Shen’s cultivation was pitifully low under the probing of others. He had little power to retaliate. However, before others could laugh and ridicule him, a large group of people instantly rushed out from the branch of the Divine Immortal Association. Each of them had a high cultivation. There were even five or six experts at the Divine Concept alone.
Such a powerful force, In an instant, they directly crushed all the cultivators in Blood Moon City who dared to disrespect the Divine Immortal Society. Everyone was silent. For some reason, this group of powerful cultivators respected Shopkeeper Shen, who had a low cultivation level. A large group of people who were far superior to him were actually willing to be subordinates and listen to him.
Therefore, on this day, when a group of people escorted a carriage out of the branch of the Divine Immortal Society and headed straight for the city gate, many cultivators on the streets of the city saw it and tactfully made way for the two sides of the road.
The dozens of people walking around the carriage had different appearances, but they all had a strong aura. Especially the four men who were close to the carriage, they were all extraordinary. They looked at the divine brilliance of the carriage, and they were all experts at the Divine Concept.
All of a sudden, countless cultivators in the city were discussing in succession, but they were secretly whispering to themselves. They didn’t know what the mysterious and strange shopkeeper Shen was actually doing out of the city this time?
One had to know that it was not fun outside the city. The number of people who died there in the past was definitely not a small number because of the ferocious demonic beasts and all sorts of strange outsider creatures unique to the Blood Moon Realm.
What did a Qi Refining Realm cultivator want to do outside the city?
The carriage was bumping along the rough and potholed streets. The four closest to the carriage could occasionally hear a few soft coughs coming from the carriage. It was not loud, but it was deep and painful.
A trace of worry flashed across the faces of the four Divine Concept cultivators. The middle-aged man in front of them, who looked around forty last year, took a step closer and whispered,
“Shopkeeper, are you feeling unwell? Why don’t we go back? It’s not too late to talk about this business in the future …”
“Hehe, there’s no need.” A low laugh came from the carriage. Then, he coughed a few more times and said, “Let’s continue. I’m fine, but I was a little tired just now. I suddenly thought of it in a daze …”
Halfway through, he suddenly lowered his voice. The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, “Shopkeeper?”
The person in the carriage smiled. He suddenly sighed and said indifferently,
“It’s fine. I just suddenly remembered my son, whom I haven’t seen for many years … Let’s go and return early.”
