Killing God - Chapter 295
Chapter 295 Helper
“Da, da, da …”
The deep and soft sound of footsteps echoed on the stone steps of the sea of books. The white-haired old man with a goatee put his hands behind his back and walked towards the exit alone. At the same time, his face was thoughtful, as if he was recalling something. He frowned slightly and muttered to himself, “Shen Shi … why does this name seem to have been heard of before?”
As he walked to the top of the sea of books, The number of Lingxiao Sect disciples on both sides of the stone steps gradually increased. Occasionally, people would come close to the stone steps to see this old man. As a result, the expressions of the Lingxiao Sect disciples became solemn. They immediately bowed their heads and greeted him respectfully. However, this goatee old man did not seem to care about the situation around him. He nodded casually to deal with the situation. Sometimes, he even walked over directly.
When they reached the exit of the sea of books, He didn’t seem to have thought of the answer yet, and his brows were still furrowed. However, in the blink of an eye, he was suddenly stunned. He saw a tall, handsome man standing in front of the hall. The most striking thing was a bald man with an astonishingly large black sword. He smiled and shouted,
“Martial Uncle Pu.”
The white-bearded old man stared at him and walked over. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. It was as if he suddenly remembered something. After a moment of daze, he shouted, “Shit!”
The bald but extraordinarily handsome man was naturally the famous Du Tiejian from the Lingxiao Sect Sect. At this moment, it seemed that he was very familiar with this old man with a goatee. He stood at the side and laughed, but he lowered his voice and said, “Martial Uncle, my master invited you over for a meeting.”
Old Man Pu said, looking a little embarrassed. He whispered, “Can we not go?”
Du Tiejian immediately shook his head and said, “No.”
Old Man Pu snorted and said, “Why?”
Du Tiejian chuckled and made an invitation gesture. As he followed Old Man Pu, he whispered, “Because there are four people waiting for you in Cloud Sky Hall for at least an hour. If you don’t go, I’m afraid that the roof of the hall will be lifted.”
Old Man Pu was furious and said, “Nonsense, who is so bold!”
Du Tiejian smiled but didn’t say anything. Old Man Pu glared at him, then his face revealed a trace of resentment. He said unhappily, “Alright, alright, alright. I knew that your master would definitely be a pile of troubles after forcefully pulling me into this Grand Council of Elders.”
Du Tiejian said seriously, “Martial Uncle, why did you say that? You and Master are fellow disciples of the same lineage. No one in this sect can surpass you in terms of closeness. If he doesn’t believe you, how can he entrust you with such a heavy burden?”
“What kind of burden is not a burden? You little brat, stop bragging. I remember that you weren’t like this in the past, right?” Old Man Pu laughed coldly. He walked out of the hall with a disdainful expression. With his hands behind his back, he followed the mountain path with Du Tiejian. He walked towards Yunxiao Hall at the top of Golden Rainbow Mountain. At the same time, he said, “Your master only felt that he was always being ignored in the Grand Council of Elders and felt unhappy in his heart. That’s why he tried to kick Old Man Mu’s shameless trash into seclusion to cultivate and drag me in. All he did was hope that I would waved the flag and shout for him as a horse soldier, right?”
Du Tiejian’s expression was resolute and righteous, and he said, “Martial Uncle, you have seen clearly that you have unique insight. Iron Sword admires you!”
“Fuck off!” Old Man Pu kicked him, “What’s wrong with that brat? Why does he look exactly like your unlucky master!”

At the top of Golden Rainbow Mountain, Cloud Firmament
After walking all the way here, looking at the hall with an extraordinary momentum, Old Man Pu shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he sighed and continued walking forward. However, he then extended a hand towards Du Tiejian and said, “Here, drink some.”
Du Tiejian’s expression did not change as he said, “Martial Uncle, what do you want?”
Old Man Pu waved his hand and said impatiently, “Don’t play dumb.”
Du Tiejian chuckled and said, “I’m finished.”
“Do you want to give it or not? If you don’t give it to me, I’ll take it.”
“What … is the Origin Core Realm amazing?” Du Tiejian looked sideways for a moment.
Without a word, Old Man Pu began to roll up his sleeves.
Du Tiejian rolled his eyes as if he had encountered a nemesis. He helplessly took out a wine gourd from his Ruyi bag and threw it over. “This is the last bit. I say, Martial Uncle, you are so old and always cheating on wine with your Martial Nephew. Is there any meaning in that?”
“Young people like you are used to living a good life. How can you understand the importance of spirit crystals? It would be great if you could save a little.”
After taking a sip of the boss’s wine, Old Man Pu sighed. He casually threw the wine gourd back to Du Tiejian and glanced at him. He sneered, “Young man, relax. The person standing in front of you is no longer an ordinary person. I am the Great Elder. Do you know what the Great Elder is?”
Du Tiejian lightly coughed and reminded him, “Martial Uncle, my master is the sect master.”
“Adept Sect Leader is amazing?”
“Uh, actually, it’s not that amazing.” Du Tiejian thought for a moment and said, “But he can also roll up his sleeves.”
“Oh … Alright, he’s amazing. I won’t argue with him anymore.”
The four Origin Core Realm Daoists in the hall had been sitting cross-legged here for some time. The atmosphere gradually became more subtle. However, for those who cultivated to the Origin Core Realm, apart from the divine passage technique, their temperament was naturally tempered a long time ago. Therefore, the four of them didn’t have any abnormal expressions, including Elder Sun Mingyang, who was known to be strict, who also closed his eyes to recuperate.
After a while, Adept Huaiyuan’s eyelids suddenly twitched slightly. A moment later, the other three Adepts also raised their eyebrows at the same time and turned to look at the entrance of the hall.
A burst of footsteps rang out. Two figures appeared at the entrance of the hall. It was Old Man Pu and Du Tiejian who entered.
Seeing these two figures, especially Old Man Pu who was walking in front of them, the expressions of the four Daoists in the hall were different. However, it seemed that Old Man Pu did not feel anything. He walked over with a chuckle and looked relaxed and in a good mood.
Du Tiejian took a few steps behind him and bowed to Huai Yuan. Then, he said to Huai Yuan, “Master, I’ve invited Martial Uncle Pu over.”
“Yes,” Daoist Huaiyuan nodded slightly. “You can go down.”
Du Tiejian agreed. He turned around and retreated. Old Man Pu, who was standing beside him, laughed and walked to the empty prayer mat. He smiled and said, “It’s a sin to be late. It’s all because of this brat Du Tiejian. Along the way, he gave me a drink and hooked up my wine worms. Sigh …”
At this moment, Du Tiejian, who had just arrived at the entrance of the hall, staggered and almost missed the black sword.
However, the other four Daoists on the prayer mat all had a dignified bearing. It seemed that they did not take Old Man Pu’s words seriously, and Old Man Pu did not take them seriously either. He laughed and said, “How is it? This is the first time this old man has come here today. How did I discuss this matter? What are we discussing?”
“Humph!” A cold snort came from his side. It was from Elder Sun Ming Yang’s mouth. Elder Pu looked at him and smiled without saying anything.
At this moment, Adept Huaiyuan, who was sitting at the top seat, coughed softly and said, “Junior Brother Pu, the five of us are here today to discuss major matters concerning our sect. We can’t do this in the future, otherwise, it would be out of place.”
Elder Pu let out a “Oh” and Adept Huaiyuan immediately said, “Everyone, the matter we are discussing today is the Four Main Assembly in half a year …”
He spoke with confidence, but the expressions of the elders under him were different. Daoist Huaiyuan seemed to have said something about Elder Pu, but in reality, he was clearly raising his head high to perfunctorily pass by. It seemed that the relationship between the two of them was indeed as extraordinary as it had been circulated before.
Daoist Huai Yuan said for a while, then said, “… Wentian Secret Realm is undoubtedly one of the most important matters in the Four Main Conferences. Counting the time, it’s almost time to select the disciple of the Condensing Yuan Divine Concept. May I know your opinions on this matter?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Sun Mingyang replied, “Senior Brother, I thought it would be fine if we follow the usual practice of the past years. Elders of the Origin Core Realm recommend some more elite disciples to the various lobby entrances, and the remaining sect disciples will be selected from the remaining disciples. In this way, we will definitely be able to select the best candidate. Didn’t we win the last general meeting ten years ago?” Hahaha … ”
As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Yun Ni and Jin Zhan, who were sitting opposite him. Those two were the two strongest and most powerful Hall Elders in Lingxiao Sect Sect. Although they didn’t say anything, they both seemed to agree.
However, at this moment, he suddenly shouted out with an imposing aura, “This is not appropriate!”
The one who spoke was the newly promoted Grand Elder, Old Man Pu Siyi Pu, who was in charge of the last place in the seven great halls of the Soaring Firmament Sect.
Sun Ming Yang’s expression changed drastically. Looking coldly, the other two elders also revealed expressions of displeasure. Although Elder Yun Ni was a woman, she had been in charge of the Pill Hall for a long time and had a high status. Just as she was about to speak with a frown, Adept Huai Yuan’s voice suddenly rang in her ears. “Oh, Junior Brother Pu, what do you think?” She said gently.
Yun Ni’s words reached her mouth. Suddenly, he swallowed it back. Her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed several times. He raised his head slightly and looked at Adept Huai Yuan, who was sitting at the top of the middle. The teacher-in-charge had a faint smile on his face as he calmly looked at Old Man Pu who was sitting under Sun Ming Yang. A moment later, he seemed to have sensed Yun Ni’s gaze. His pair of strange eyes that contained the reflection of stars looked over and paused on her face. He looked at Yun Ni.
Yun Ni slowly lowered her head. After taking a light breath, she suppressed the turmoil in her heart and remained silent.

The next morning.
Shen Shi woke up from his cave residence. After tidying up, he left the cave residence and walked towards the mountain path outside. At the same time, he was wondering if he could make another trip to White Crane Hall to confirm anything, or if he could seize the time to go down the mountain again. After all, Xiao Hei and Ling Chunni were still there in the Anshan Inn in Floating Cloud City. He was also worried about them.
However, as he walked, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar woman standing in front of the path that connected the valley path to the mountain path. She looked at the distant sea from the stone steps of the mountain path and carefully identified it as Senior Sister Xu Yanzhi of the Arts Hall.
From Qingyu Island back then until recently, when he went to the Arts Hall to purchase spells, Shen Shi had had several dealings with this senior sister, and he was somewhat familiar with them. After a moment of shock, he walked over to greet her and smiled,
“Senior Sister Xu, why are you here? What a coincidence.”
Xu Yanzhi turned around and looked up and down at Shen Shi. She smiled and said, “Yes, I just met you here. What a coincidence …” As she spoke, she seemed to curl her lips, especially on the words “I just arrived here”, with a resentful and unhappy expression.
