Killing God - Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Turn Around
The sky gradually darkened. The night came quietly. The clouds sounded as the disciples of the Pill Hall stood there. Those who had failed had already retreated to rest. The people guarding this place were waiting for the final result. Perhaps after today, another outstanding figure would appear among the younger generation disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect.

The same thought, The hearts of the Lingxiao Sect disciples who were also watching from outside the Bright Flame Hall started to circulate in their hearts. However, perhaps it was because it wasn’t related to them, their expressions would look slightly relaxed. However, this pill competition had actually reached such a level, as if it was also a sign of something. Many people were beginning to worry about the upcoming selection of elite disciples from the sect.

Perhaps, this would be a fierce competition that surpassed the previous years?

The campfire was raging. The flames were like red snakes swaying wildly under the sea breeze. Shen Shi raised his head and looked at the sky. He didn’t know when it was already filled with stars. The stars were shining like pearls, embedded in the black sky. Seeing that the day was almost over.

Just as he was concentrating, Shen Shi suddenly noticed that Sun You, who was beside him, had touched his arm. He turned to look at Sun You, only to see Sun You pouting behind him, indicating for him to look back. Shen Shi turned around and was suddenly stunned. Behind him, two women were walking towards the two of them in the night crowd. Borrowing the light of the campfire in front of them, Shen Shi could clearly see their appearances. It was Zhong Qingzhu and Xu Yanzhi.

The two women had clearly seen Shen Shi and Sun You standing here a long time ago. Xu Yanzhi smiled and waved his hand from afar. Then, he walked over with Zhong Qingzhu. Shen Shi welcomed him and smiled, “Senior Sister, why are you here?” As he spoke, he nodded and smiled at Zhong Qingzhu. Zhong Qingzhu also smiled.

Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, “Today, this place is considered to be the liveliest place in the entire Golden Rainbow Mountain. How can we not just come and see? How about it? Haven’t the pills there been finished yet?”

Shen Shi shook his head and said, “It’s not over yet. It’s been a day.” As he spoke, he briefly told the two of them about the progress of the Pill Gathering. When he heard that there were only two people left in the Pill Gathering, and Zhong Qinglu was actually one of them, Zhong Qingzhu let out a’ah ‘sound. Seeing that she was a little surprised, Xu Yanzhi also said directly, “What, that Junior Sister Zhong Qinglu was actually able to endure to this extent? Can’t you tell?”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “Yeah, we didn’t expect that either.”

“Perhaps Zhong Qinglu is the one with the greatest fortune!” Young Friend Sun said. As he spoke, he seemed to find it funny as well. He chuckled and turned his gaze to Zhong Qingzhu.

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to have sensed Young Friend Sun’s gaze. She turned her bright eyes and also looked at him. The two of them met in midair, and then each of them quietly turned away.

Xu Yanzhi then turned to Zhong Qingzhu and smiled, “Qingzhu, if Junior Sister Qing Lu wins and successfully joins Elder Yun Ni’s sect, plus you are also a disciple of Elder Le of the Array Hall now, I think your Zhong Clan will flourish again.”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled gently and did not say anything else. On the other hand, after hearing this, Shen Shi frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. Zhong Qingzhu had always been careful and noticed Shen Shi’s expression. He walked to his side and whispered, “Shi Shi, is there anything wrong?”

Shen Shi shook his head and smiled, “It’s fine.”

Zhong Qingzhu took a deep look at him and said, “Oh,” without saying anything else. At this time, Xu Yanzhi also walked over and said to Shen Shi, “Junior Brother Shen, come to the Five Elements Hall tomorrow morning.”

Shen Shi’s heart suddenly jumped. He looked at Xu Yanzhi and said, “Senior Sister, could it be …”

Xu Yanzhi smiled but did not answer, only saying, “Anyway, just come over.”

Shen Shi took a deep breath and thought that this matter was finally settled. He nodded heavily and said, “Yes, I know.”

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to know this matter well. Perhaps he had already heard the news from Xu Yanzhi, but he smiled and said to Shen Shi, “Shi Tou, I wish you a smooth journey. Everything is smooth and smooth.”

Shen Shi smiled and nodded. At first, Friend Sun hadn’t reacted, but after listening to the three of them exchanging a few words and contacting Shen Shi, he immediately reacted. He was overjoyed. He walked over and hugged Shen Shi’s shoulder. He smiled and said, “Shi Shi, if you jump onto the dragon gate in the future, don’t forget brother.”

Shen Shi laughed heartily before he wanted to speak. Zhong Qingzhu, who was beside him, smiled faintly and said, “He definitely won’t forget. However, he is still a carp that is hopping with all his might. Sun You, you are already standing on the Sun Clan’s Dragon Gate. You should take care of him more.”

Sun You smiled and looked at Zhong Qingzhu. “Junior Sister Qingzhu, I didn’t expect you to do your best to protect Stone.”

Zhong Qingzhu’s smile stiffened slightly. His expression was slightly cold. Shen Shi hurriedly stood out and said, “Alright, alright, alright. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow anyway. If something unexpected happens, don’t earn it.”

Zhong Qingzhu’s expression turned gentle again. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any accidents.”

As they chatted in low voices, the sea breeze blew past the viewing platform. In front of the bonfire, a slender figure walked past the corridor on the other side of the Bright Flame Hall behind the disciples of the Pill Hall. He was wearing a long sword and had an elegant temperament. He stood under the shadow of the hall. He leaned against the railing and looked into the distance. Then, he sighed softly.

“Auntie, why are you sighing?”

From the shadows behind him, another man walked out. His figure was extraordinary and elegant. From the looks of it, the outline of his eyebrows was precisely that of Gan Ze, who had been praised as the number one genius of the Ling Xiao Sect on Bluefish Island for more than a hundred years. At the same time, he was also the only successor of the Gan Clan of the founding ancestors of the Ling Xiao Sect.

The woman with the long sword standing in front of him had a beautiful appearance and a cold temperament. She was Gan Wenqing, whom she had not seen for many years.

Gan Wenqing smiled and said, “I am lamenting that there are countless talents in the younger generation of our Lingxiao Sect disciples. Even if they were people you didn’t pay much attention to in the past, they might shine in front of your eyes at some point.”

Gan Ze smiled and said, “This is a good thing.”

Gan Wenqing glanced at him, her tone filled with concern. She whispered, “How about you come in and cultivate?”

Gan Ze nodded and said calmly, “Everything is fine.”

After pondering for a moment, Gan Wenqing said, “Your current realm is becoming more and more stable at the high level of Origin Condensation. You only need to cultivate calmly next. There shouldn’t be any major problems.” Your Fire Silkworm Slaughter has already reached a great success in the Dao Art divine ability. According to my estimation, it is almost enough to deal with the Four Great Halls Meeting this time. However … “She paused for a moment and then said,” If you want to enter Yuanshi Sect after you go to Wentian Secret Realm and make a difference, you’d better practice the secret technique of the Gan Clan, ‘Lovesickness Slash’. If you can go up another floor before the Four Forms Convention, even if it’s only a small success, then your chances of success will be much higher. ”

Gan Ze was thoughtful. First, he nodded in agreement. Then, he approached Gan Wenqing and whispered, “Little Aunt, is this Acacia Severing Divine Ability really that powerful?”

Gan Wenqing smiled and said, “This technique has always been a direct descendant of the Gan Clan. I have only heard of it before.” However, it is said that this secret technique that our Gan Clan’s ancestors accidentally obtained, if you cultivate it successfully and match it with the Acacia Severing Divine Dagger, it will be extremely powerful, enough to look down on the world. It has always been our Gan Clan’s most precious treasure. Do you think it’s powerful? ”

Gan Ze laughed. Gan Wenqing gently touched his young face and said softly, “Little Ze, our Gan family is weak. The heavy burden of reviving our family business is all on your shoulders. It’s been hard on you.”

Gan Ze shook his head slightly and said with a calm expression, “It should have been like this.” As he spoke, he didn’t seem to want to talk about this topic. He glanced at the Bright Flame Palace and said, “I wonder who will laugh until the end.”

Gan Wenqing smiled and said, “I’m afraid even Master herself didn’t expect to be able to compete to such an extent. These young disciples are truly much more powerful than she had expected. However, I’m still not sure right now. Actually, I really want to know if I will have an additional junior brother or junior sister in the future.”

Gan Ze smiled faintly. The opportunity that countless Lingxiao Sect disciples yearned for to join Elder Ni Yun’s throne did not seem to be of much importance to him. Even when he looked at the surrounding Lingxiao Sect disciples outside the Bright Flame Hall, his gaze was faint.

However, when his gaze swept past a certain place, he was suddenly stunned. He stayed on Shen Shi, who was in a corner of the crowd, for a while longer and let out a low “Yi” sound.

Gan Wenqing glanced at him and said, “What’s wrong?”

Ganze remained silent for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. “Nothing, I saw a friend I haven’t seen for a long time.”

④

The night gradually darkened and the night wind gradually cooled. Unknowingly, a very long time had passed. In Lingxiao Sect, it had always been rare for so many disciples to gather so late. However, there was a bright hall in front of the Bright Flame Hall. At this time, almost no one left halfway. Obviously, everyone was waiting for the final result that was about to arrive.

Perhaps the moment the winner was announced, it would be the beginning of the selection competition at the Four Great Halls.

The campfire lit up the faces of many people, and sparks flew into the night sky along with the sea breeze, and then turned into nothingness and extinction. The noise in the crowd gradually decreased. Occasionally, they could hear whispering in a low voice. Only the night wind blowing from the “wuwu” became louder and louder, louder and louder in everyone’s hearts.

Suddenly, the crisp sound of the clouds suddenly rang out, as if it rang in everyone’s ears and hearts, immediately alarming everyone. Almost at the same time, everyone turned their heads to look at the gate of the Bright Flame Hall.

It was silent and dark.

I wonder if anyone held their breath.

Footsteps slowly sounded in the darkness, heavy and painful as they slowly walked out.

It was a young man.

In an instant, a loud noise suddenly sounded, sweeping across the entire hall like a shocking wave. Countless people were whispering to each other, and countless gazes were turning on that person.

The young man looked very tired. His eyes were filled with disappointment and bitterness. He staggered away. After a while, a pale but beautiful woman walked out. In the night breeze, under the curtain of the sky, she gently stood outside the gate of the Bright Fire Hall.

Then, she smiled slightly, like a lily blooming at night, with a soul-stirring charm.

Moments later, everyone’s gazes turned around and fell on her. Her name quickly spread through the crowd. Everyone knew that from this moment onwards, the status of this young and beautiful woman in Lingxiao Sect had changed from the past.

A group of Pill Hall disciples walked over and surrounded Zhong Qinglu like a crescent moon. The excited words of congratulation and currying favor instantly surged forth, making Zhong Qinglu somewhat overwhelmed, but her face also revealed a look of joy and excitement.

In the crowd, looking at the beautiful woman who had already become the focus of everyone, Shen Shi slowly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It was as if he had finally let go of some burden. However, for no reason, he felt that the tall and large Hall of Fire seemed to be a little further away from him. He smiled faintly and didn’t say anything else. He turned around and walked away without saying a word.

It was already late at night, and the road ahead was dark. His figure slowly fused into it.

At the entrance of the Bright Flame Hall, in the clamorous crowd, the delighted woman inadvertently turned her head around and passed the smiling faces. She suddenly saw the figure that had turned around and left gradually farther and farther away from the clamorous crowd.

Her heart suddenly stirred and she was at a loss, but in the blink of an eye, the silent figure had disappeared into the darkness of the night and was no longer visible. In front of her, there was a warm smile again.

She lowered her head slightly, then raised her head again, with that joyful smile on her face, and politely responded to the crowd beside her.

The night was dark and the night breeze was bleak. This day had finally passed quietly in the midst of alternating light and darkness, and in the midst of noisy and quiet rotation.
